Chapter 11: Midnight Rendezvous

Lily couldn't sleep. It was nearing one and she wasn't the least bit tired. Lily sighed and turned over for the twentieth time that night. Then she turned again finding it very hard to get comfortable and constantly sighed and turned over.

"Lily if you don't stop making so much of a ruckus over there I'm going to come over and kick the shit out of you!" came the voice of her friend Jane whose bed was right next to hers.

"Alright, alright, I'm going to the common room," said Lily though she had no intensions of staying in the common room. She grabbed her dance gear and slowly crept down the stairs hoping no one would hear her. She silently escaped through the portrait and much to the objections of the fat lady hurried down the hall putting her invisibility cloak over her.

Lily reached the room and whispered the password to the portrait guardian and walked inside. Once inside she pulled her shoes and outfit on then picked out a slow composition in which she would dance to in the form of ballet.

The music started it captivated her. She was so used to this dance it was like she was doing the movements without thinking. This was indeed a long piece and she knew it would take her mind off James for at least a good ten minutes.

**********************************************************************************************

James walked through the hall watching where he was walking this time. He did not want to be caught by Filch again. He knew he would not get off so easy if he was caught out of bed past curfew again.

James walked slowly through the halls pondering what he would say to Lily tomorrow. Or today he thought as he glanced at the old grandfather clock in the hall. James realized he had walked toward the dungeons for some reason and wondered what had made him come down there. Soon he would find out that fate led him to that place. As James passed the portrait that led to the dance studio he noticed something jammed in the door and went to check it out. It was a locket. He looked at it closer and saw the letters L-I-L-Y engraved on the front (an: it's a big locket with small type). He decided to put it inside the studio so Lily could find it. When he said the password the portrait swung open and he was about to step inside the room when he heard music. What is someone doing here at this time of night? He thought as he peeked around the corner to see who it was.

It was Lily! James watched her dance in silence as he did not want to disturb her in her moment of beauty. She glided around the room and watched as she slowly and gracefully moved into hard movements he suspected that was hardly ever attempted even by professionals.

Lily glided along the floor for what seemed like an eternity at least to James. Then as the song ended, she slide on the floor. James didn't know if this was some sort of strange movement he was not familiar with or if she was tired. He looked on as her shoulders began to shake he sobs breaking the silence.

James rushed over to her and held her as she cried he did not know why she did but all he knew was it felt...right. He comforted her as she let the tears spill down her cheeks then she looked into his deep sapphire eyes. Hers were bright with tears. They let themselves fall into a kiss. And did not want to think about leaving each other for a moment. They did not know how long they stayed there all they knew afterwards was how much they loved each other.
