Chapter SIX.
"So where are we going?" James asked the boys.
"A Karaoke bar." Sirius replied.
"Why?"
"To sing." He replied happily. "Look we're here already." They entered with out any troubles.
They had ordered food and were sipping on their drinks when there was an announcement that they were looking for people to sing on the stage.
"Lily will!" Peter yelled at the man with the microphone. The other boys all started yelling, "Lily! Lily!" It soon became a chant. Even James joined in. 'so, that is what Buffy was talking about when she said sing well. They had the whole thing planned out.' Lily thought to her self as she rose to her feet trying to avoid further embarrassment from the chanting.
She climbed up onto the stage and whispered in the piano players ear one of the best songs that she could sing to. "Like the Rose" By Bewitched. It seemed suitable seeing she had recently found out that that band was actually from the magical community.
As the first chords sounded out she locked eyes with James.
Every little word
With every lesson learned
I think I know why hearts are made of stone
Every little pain
Fans a bitter flame
Nothing stops me loving you
Can't you see that we belong?
Oh how I want it to be
So tell me do you feel the way I feel
Baby like the rose
Oh darling you put colour in my life
Baby take my heart forever
Cause I don't wanna be afraid
No no...
Turn another page
The story will never fade
Sleep with thoughts of you until daylight
And when you're far away
Forever love will stay
Keep this loving feeling deep inside
Can't you see that we belong?
Oh how I wanted be
So tell me do you feel the way I feel
Coz you're the colour of my life.
She finished, gave a little bow then climbed off the stage. The boys looked at her in awe.
"You never told us you could sing Lily. Buffy did, but you didn't." Remus accused. James was just looking at her mouth open then it clicked with him: Lily like him.
Feelings overwhelmed him and he had no idea what he was going to do. He liked her for so long now but never dared to dream that she would like him back. Possibilities washed over him and his face showed off a smile.
Lily turned to him and saw his look. He had gotten the message then. At least that was something. The rest was up to him.
She took a mouthful of her drink and waited. She knew how to be patient. If her father had taught her anything it was to be patient.
Lily and James locked eyes more than once that night and by the end of the night James had rather nervously asked Lily to dance with him. While they were on the dance floor, the boys were giving each other high fives and toasting Buffy and her cleaver scheme that seemed to have worked.
"Lily?" James asked her as they swayed gently to the music.
"Yes James?"
"I.um.I was just wondering if you would like to go out with me some time?"
"I'd love to James."
"Really?"
"Yes, of course. I really like you James. I was just nervous and scared that you didn't like me."
"Lily, I have a confession to make."
"What is it?"
"I really like you too." He whispered in her ear. His warm breath against her neck sent shivers down her spine. She smiled against his shoulder.
"Finally." She whispered.
The night was over all to fast for her but soon she found herself walking hand in hand with James, surrounded by the other three boys who couldn't stop congratulating each other at a successful evening.
When they entered the Potters house, Mrs. Potter was standing in the door to the lounge room. The tiny Buffy was fast asleep in her arms.
"She wanted to stay awake and see you all when you came home but she fell asleep." Mrs. Potter looked at James and Lily then at their joined hands. "I'd say that her plan went quite well, wouldn't you?" Both of them blushed.
Peter stepped forward, and held his arms out. "I'll take her up to bed if you want Mrs. P." He volunteered. She smiled kindly at the young boy.
"Of course. Thankyou dear." She handed over the sleeping Buffy.
Peter carried her gently up the stairs and into her room. He set her down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Carefully brushing a piece of hair away from her face, he whispered, "It worked Lady Bug. It worked." Then he left the room turning the light out and shutting the door behind him.
