Chapter 1: It all started with forgetfulness

"Slytherin's in possession of the quafle… Malfoy just missing the bludger drops it! The quafle is up who wants it?! And Sirius Black catches the quaffle! He's almost there!" Yes, thought Lily silently go for it! "Oooohhhhhh and there he goes again losing his balance and he drops the quafle." oh no! thought Lily. She couldn't take it anymore. This was the second match of the season that the Gryffindor quiditch team had lost. Even though the game wasn't over she knew they had lost the score was Slytherin 250 and Gryffindor 30. As she walked away from the field she headed toward the common room.

Lily had gone to every game she loved quiditch but the way her houses team played she was almost disgusted to support the team. Lily herself would have tried out if it hadn't been for her other love. Dance.

Lily had been taking dance for a good part of her life. She loved it. The way it felt, the way she moved she felt free. Free of all her cares free of all the homework that plagued her free from all the teachers and most of all it gave her reason to turn down guys. Lily was very pretty and attracted most of the male population at Hogwarts. Not that she didn't like some of the guys who asked her out it's that she never had the time the only things she cared for in her schedule were dance, school work and of course quiditch. This didn't bother Lily at all she didn't want a boyfriend in her life her friends always cried when they had been dumped, by their boyfriends and lily was there to pick up the pieces and console them. The only thing lily knew was she wanted no part in having her heart broken if it meant being lonely then so be it. She had dance and school work to keep her busy.

Dance was her life. Ever since her mother had introduced her to the wonderful form of expression lily took to it like a fish to water. She was now sixteen and had been taking it for thirteen years now. She did all kinds forms and representations of dance. She did tap but not to often only when she had the energy to tolerate it (due to the massive migraines associated with it). Lily also did Ballet it was graceful and a way for her to wind down from a hard day. But when lily was presented with a sure of anger which happened quite often, due to her potion teacher Mrs. Flamewall. She was head of Slytherin house and hated Gryffindors with a passion. She did hip-hop a fast paced form of street dancing only more organized. Lily often took her anger to the dance floor it helped her to cool down and not use the multiple hexes she know on the potions mistress. But, the one true form of the art she truly was obsessed with was jazz. Lily loved the dance like none other had before her. The art being a derivative of ballet only faster but not like hip-hop it was still soft and graceful. This was Lily's passion the art form captivated her she danced jazz for herself she danced it to loose herself in the rhythm and the moment. She did this the more often then the other forms.

When lily reached the common room she rushed towards her dorm room to get her supplies. She quickly grabbed a pair of muggle pants with the word dance spread across the butt-ox region she also threw on a tight form fitting shirt the entire ensemble was black. She quickly grabbed her jazz shoes and was off.

Everyone was at the quiditch game so she didn't feel the need to bring her invisibility cloak so she ran off down the hallways of Hogwarts to a secret room only she knew about. She had discovered it in first year and decided it must not have been known about due to the thick layer of dust that had settled around the room. Lily quickly arrived at her destination and threw on her shoes. She was eager to get started she hadn't danced in a while due to the load of homework she had been given. In her eagerness she forgot to put the silencing charm on the room as she came in.

Lily felt the music course through her entire being she loved this she loved being able to do something few others could. She did a turn three times around all the while keeping perfect balance. She did a routine she had taught herself to do and finished with a plie. Then she felt eyes on her back. She turned quickly realizing her mistake in not placing the silencing charm on the room. Professor McGonnagall stood with a pleasant look on her face. But her look didn't last for long it quickly turned into the sternness that was McGonnagall.

"Miss Evans I do not remember you asking the permission of any of the faculty for the use of this room. Please follow me," and with that she left the room at a blistering pace. Lily struggled to keep up with the older woman when they finally reached their destination. McGonnagal silently sat behind her desk eyes peering at Lily. "Miss Evans did you have permission from anyone to use that room?"

"No," said Lily silently tears slowly formed in her eyes. She knew this was it. She didn't mind detention so much it was the fact she would not be able to continue to do the thing she loved most.

"Miss Evans , I need not remind you of the rules of this school. That no student shall use any part of the school at anytime unless with the permission of a teacher." lily slowly nodded her head knowing what would be coming next. But what came next was not what she had expected.

"Miss Evans," McGonnagal said softly seeing the tears in Lily's eyes, "I will allow you continue to dance but under one condition….."

Lily didn't care what she had to do she mentally agreed to what ever McGonnall proposed. "You will teach the Gryffindor quidditch team dance. As you might have noticed they're not to graceful on the quidditch pitch."

"That's putting it mildly," mumbled lily to herself. However she got the impression McGonnal had heard.

They may not be the best out there but they do have undeniable talent especially young Mr. Potter." stated McGonnal matter of factly. "However I do not deny the fact that they do need help. And dance may be just the art form to help them. And by the looks of your talent you are just the person to teach it to them."

Lily sat there astonished not believing what McGonnal had just said. "are you serious1"she replied! "me teach them and have them dance!"

Lily launched herself into a fit of laughter.

After composing herself she quickly agreed and headed back to the room to finish her dance. She would leave McGonnagal to tell the team. Thinking about the conversation that would pass between the team and her head of house. She sent herself into another fit of giggles and entered the portrait the room she had deemed hers and began to dance again.
