Chapter 8

"So are you going to ask me to dance?" Said Faye dragging James out of his thoughts.

"Ummm yes err why not."

James placed his hands on her back and they began to dance.

"God Lily is such a ditz some times and she can be so rude. I remember last year when I was being perfectly nice to her and she slapped me. You wouldn't believe she was a Counts daughter she is so un-lady like. My father said that I should be the one who takes Lily's mums place when she dies instead of Lily. He say's that I'm way prettier than her. My father say's that I'm really smart as well much smarter than that read headed bitch. I mean she is so ugly don't you think? Anyway..."

James was disgusted that anyone would be so rude in public about their own family and after a minute he tuned out. The song finished and James quickly released Faye and walked away towards the door that Lily had left out of.

"James!" Cried out Faye after him. "Where are you going we were having such a good time!"

*Yeah maybe you were!* Thought James as he ignored Faye and kept walking.

****

Cal looked at his cousin in revulsion as she walked back to the table where he, Diana, Sirius, Rachel, Clarrisa and Remus were sitting.

"Your friend is quite the charmer he is so obviously besotted with me!" Said Faye with a big smile.

"Do you know what that means because I think you actually mean he is nauseated when he looks at you." Said Sirius with a sarcastic grin on his face.

"Nauseated means disgusted you silly boy!" Laughed Faye.

The others shook their heads at Faye's stupidity.

****

James found lily in the rose garden five minutes walk away from the ball.

"Hey." Said James softly; coming up quietly behind her.

Lily turned and looked at him and a small smile came to her lips.

"Hey."

"So ummm it's a nice night isn't it?"

Lily laughed and said "it is."

"Err Lily I..I."

"Yes James." Said lily tilting her head to the side, while moving slightly closer to him.

*Oh crap...what was I saying? Think brain think!* Thought James noticing suddenly how close Lily really was to him.

"I like dogs don't you I mean they're like meant to be mans best friend right?" Asked James.

*Damn you brain why'd you fail me now!*

"Ooookaaaay!"

"That's not what I meant, I mean ummm..."

"You're acting really strange James." Said Lily moving closer.

*God just kiss me!* Thought Lily.

"I..I.." James gave up and moved his face closer to hers.

Lily's breath caught in her throat.

James moved closer and closer until there was only a centimetre between their lips.

"I think you are really beautiful." Said James as he lowered his lips on to hers.

Fireworks went off behind Lily's eyelids and she melted into the kiss. Her arms came around his neck as James' tongue gently brushed over her lips asking for entry. Her lips parted so he could gain access to her mouth. He began to massage her tongue with his. After a minute had passed Lily slowly drew back from him.

"That was...wow." She murmured.

"Mmmm" Agreed James.

"We should get back before they send a search party out for us." Said lily, blushing slightly under James' gaze.

"You're right we should." Replied James as he descended upon her for a second time.

****

"Where do you think Lily and James are? They're going to miss all the food." Said Clarrisa.

"I'm sure they'll be here any minute." Answered Remus with a small smile at Clarrisa.

Clarrisa could feel her cheeks go red and she looked down at her plate.

"It doesn't matter. But James is probably hiding from Faye. Actually thinking about it Lily probably is too. You know when I say that it makes me think about how sane Faye really is, because with all these people hiding from her someone would think she is mentally unstable. Wait what am I saying she is." Said Cal with a look of wonderment on his face.

"What was that Cal?" Asked Faye turning around and looking at him.

"Nothing nothing." Said Cal with a bright smile on his face.

****

"James we should stop." Murmured Lily pulling out of their kiss.

"Fine." Sighed James looking slightly disappointed.

James took her hand in his and began to lead her back to the ball room.

*God she is so pretty. Wait what am I doing, she hates me and I hate her. Oh fuck I have been kissing my enemy. But I don't like her right?*Thought James.

#*Sorry mate you're so screwed.*# Replied his subconscious.

*Shut up. No I don't I am just using her. Wait how comes my subconscious sounds Australian?*

#* That ain't the point mate. The fact is that you are still holding her hand so you must like her.*#

James looked down and realised that his subconscious was right.

*Damn!*

James quickly dropped her hand and stuffed his own in his pocket.

Lily looked at him confused. James gave her a grin and walked into the ball.

Lily felt like a thousand tons of bricks had fallen on her. She quickly followed James and caught up with him just in front of their table.

"James what is the matter with you?"

"Nothing. Why? Should there be something Evans?" Said James with a smirk on his face.

Sirius and Remus looked at James and Lily watching what was happening.

"What the hell are you playing at?" Asked Lily.

"I don't know what you're talking about. It was just a few kisses."

Remus raised an eyebrow and glanced at Sirius.

Lily's eyes filled with tears.

Faye looked at the scene and gave a cruel smirk.

"What? You didn't think it meant something did you?" Said James.

James looked at her face and he laughed. "You did? Sorry Evans but you aren't my type."

Tears began to fall from Lily's eyes and she turned and ran.

Clarrisa stood up and looked at James and Remus. Rachel also looked at Sirius. All three boys looked at the three girls and smirked. Both Rachel and Clarrisa ran after Lily.

The three boys smiled at each other saying they were happy but their eyes were telling a different story.

"Oh my god! That was great you sure showed them didn't you." Said a giggling Vanessa.

"They needed to be knocked off their high horses." Said Jackie clutching onto Sirius' arm.

"Fuck off Bitches!" Spat Remus as he shook off Vanessa.

The three boys walked out of the hall hiding what they were really feeling.

****

"God! I thought that's what they wanted. What Pigs!" Snarled Vanessa.

A.N. God even when I read it James, Sirius and Remus sound like assholes. Sorry!!! But look on the bright side if James and Lily were together that quickly then the story would be finished. It'll all be explained in the next chapter so please review and tell me what you think! Luv
