A few minutes later Remus Lupin had entered with someone. She was very pretty. Then when James got a closer look he realized who it was. It was Lily. Lily and Remus together, at the dance. James went over to them and greeted them. Lily almost dropped her jaw when she saw Kaitlyn. Lily had never seen Kaitlyn before so it wasn't that much of a shock for Lily.

Lily glared at Kaitlyn, "So, this is the type of girl you are going for now huh? Well, good for you James Potter." She tugged at Remus to join her and get away from James. She couldn't look at him. She was so ashamed of him, so disappointed in him. I thought better of you James but you're like every other guy. Only out for the best looking girl.

"Lily, you do know that James, that James isn't like what you think right? Yeah, sure she was gorgeous but Lily, you have to understand, he was so furious with you that night. That night when you told him that he shouldn't care about who you fancy. You hurt him Lily, you hurt him a lot." Said Remus. Remus liked Lily. She has always been a very pretty girl. Very bright and has great morals but when she gets irrational she doesn't think. Remus knew what was happening. He was doing this for a friend. He could not deny that he himself found Lily Evans a very attractive young lady. She was herself, full of fiery red hair and a personality that would knock you dead.

"And what about her? She's all over him, that-that hotshot walking on legs. Who does she think she is anyway?" Lily was almost in tears. She knew it was her fault all this had happened. She was trying to get James jealous but in return James had got her back. It was her own fault though and she understood that now. But what was she going to do? She couldn't apologize to him. That would make her seem bitterer than when she had stopped talking to him.

"I'm sorry Remus, I have to go." She said and tried to pull away but Remus caught her arm, "Lily, don't let something so small ruin your day, and ruin my day. Lily I know you like James but could you give me today? Just one day?"

How could Lily deny Remus something as simple as that? He helped her through so much. He was a very good friend of hers and she didn't want to give that up.

"Um, James, who was that? Is she okay? She seemed really upset because of me." Said Kaitlyn worried. What had she done? She is out with some guy who she didn't even know. Although she didn't know many guys and she spent most of her time trying to avoid them as much as she could. No one had asked her to the dance, no one. Maybe James was out with her as a pity friend. This didn't lift her spirits any more. She slowly took her hand back from James's arm.

James knew what she must have been thinking. She feels bad. She thinks that it was her fault I got yelled at by Lily. Well I'll show Lily for making an innocent girl hurt. "No, its okay. She's always like that Lily. It's okay. Just ignore her and everything's going to be okay."

James took Kaitlyn and they started dancing in the Hall. Then suddenly they found themselves outside in a courtyard and a very nice looking courtyard at that. They stopped dancing and decided to go for a walk through the courtyard. They disappeared into a row of high trees. It was like a little maze.

Sirius had unconsciously followed them. Persephone hardly even noticed. She was just hanging on his arm the entire night. Waving at everyone she could see. She was very pretty and she looked great next to the amazingly charming Sirius Black. He knew she liked the attention and he decided to let her enjoy the moment.

She almost protested to going into the courtyard away from all the attention then she realized that they would be alone and that was something she had wanted for a long time. Ever since her sister had showed her the picture of Sirius a few years ago she had fallen in love with him at once. It was his first year. He looked magnificent then and he looks just as magnificent now.

They walked around the corner of the tall trees and entered the courtyard full of darkness and a very dim light. Not looking back to see if anyone was following they just kept walking.

Lily charmingly guided Remus into the courtyard after James. She watched him disappear into the trees and she wasn't going to let him go so easily. She loved him. She knew that. And she wasn't going to lose that to some witch who she didn't even know.
