~*~*~* That Night
Lily looked at herself in the mirror. I still can't believe it, I'm actually wearing this dress, she thought. She felt a like Cinderella. Once a nobody, the next a beautiful princess.
Lily was thinking about her mother, Elizabeth Evans. Unluckily, she had died two years before, because of cancer. Lily imagined her mum behind her saying, "Rob! Rob! Get the camera! Look at my little Lily. She's all beautiful and grown up. My little girl. I love you, remember that." and she kissed her on the cheek, then disappeared. Lily placed a hand on her cheek, where her Mum had pretended to kiss her. A small tear ran down her hand and onto her dress.
"Thanks Mum," she whispered a small smile on her face, and walked downstairs to the Ball.
~*~*~* Outside the Forbidden Forest
"Prongs," whispered Remus, "Are you sure you don't want to go?"
"Yeah," said James, not sounding, "I've promised Jess I'll meet her, so I'll meet her. Plus, I've got a chance to talk to Lily."
"OK," Remus was a bit hurt that his best mate wants to spend time with some girl he doesn't even know than help him with his problem.
"Oh, and tell me again why you turned her down? Isn't she sweet and nice-" teased Sirius.
"Oh shut up, Sirius, I know I made a mistake. And if you want to know, I'm going tell her tonight."
"Tell her! You mean everything? About you-"
"Yes, yes." He looked really nervous. He kept biting his lip and blushing.
"I guess we'll see ya later."
"Yep, I suppose," James said, "See ya,"
He watched his mates go into the forest. James, afterwards, walked to his dates, sad that his mates weren't with him.
~*~*~* At the Ball.
"Hey Lily! Over Here!" Alexis and Krista shouted, waving their hands to get Lily's attention.
Lily saw them and walked over to them, "Hey."
Another girl was there. She had long red hair, hazel green eyes, petite- sized, lightly freckled girl, wearing a purple gown, about the age of fourteen, said, "Hello, I'm Lizzie, Remus's sister."
"Oh, hi. I didn't know Remus had a sister," Lily said, smiling.
"Well, he does," She shrugged.
Just then, Dumbledore stood up and said, "May I welcome you the Weird Sisters," everyone applauded as the hairy creatures come on to the stage. They started to play a slow song first. Already, a pair of twins asked Alexis and Krista, from Ravenclaw to dance. Also, Lizzie had a date, called Amos Diggory. "You're not coming, Lil?" Krista asked.
"Nah, I'll sit this one out." she replied, pointing to a table. She sat down and looked around the room. Her eyes lay on one couple. James and his date. God, she's beautiful, she thought, I would never beat her. Jess, but Lily didn't know she was called that, was tall, with olive coloured eyes and fudge-coloured hair and wearing a deep red dress. Lily felt like crying. She was so miserable that James gone with that. that. girl. She felt her blood boil.
Then she shook her head. Why was she getting jealous? She was probably really nice. The song ended. Alexis and Krista walked up to her and said, "Hi Lil, you're right, dancing with other people is fun. You're having fun?"
Lily, eyes still on James, nodded sadly..
~*~*~* James's POV
"Hey! Over here!" cried Jess, from the entrance of Great Hall. James walked over, feeling very down. All he could think about was she. Lily and how she smiled and laughed and made him feel better. He smiled at the thought of her hugging him and whispering in his ear---
He shook his head. Stop thinking about her! "Hi Jess," He said, trying to sound happy but not really working.
"Hi Jamsie!" Jess ran up to him, and hugged him tightly, that he nearly choked to death. "How are you? Ohmigod! Are these for me?" She snatched the pink roses from James's hand and smelt them. "God, they're lovely. Thanks Jamsie." She let out a loud giggle. I wish I went with Lily, James thought bitterly, frowning. "Geez, someone's in a grump. C'mon, it well be starting soon," and she dragged him in the Great Hall.
Just before the first song was on, James saw Lily, talking to Alexis and Krista. God, she's beautiful, he thought. He shook his head again. Stop it! Stop it! Dumbledore stood up and said, "May I welcome you the Weird Sisters," and a group of hairy girls walked on to the stage. The first song was a slow one. Great, he thought, rolling his eyes.
"James! You're my date, that means you're suppose to date with me," Jess moaned, trying to pull him out of his sit. He groaned and followed Jess to the Dance Floor. One hand on her hip and other in her hand, James started to have his first dance.
Jess, trying to be cool, put on a false smile and looked at James, dreamy. James however was looking around. Where is she? Ah! Bingo.
Lily was sitting at a table, her emerald eyes shining. God, she isn't crying is she? He thought. Lils, you shouldn't be like this, you're supposed to have fun.
"Oy! James," said Jess, not opening her mouth. "Look at me!"
So James did so, not feeling any better. Don't worry Lils, I'm gonna make sure you have a good time, trust me, he thought like she could read his mind.
