GREEN EYES
CHAPTER 15-THE MUGGLE DANCE
Lily sat in her dorm room, getting ready for the muggle dance with Jamie. Nancy was on the other side of the room, putting on a black dress, painting her nails black and making her eyes look really dark with black eye makeup. Lily laughed at her, she had been wearing all black lately to show how horrible her life was. Lily was wearing a long, white dress that had an open back. The opening in the back looped around and was connected bellow her neck by a silver butterfly. In the front it was a little low, but it looked really good. The dress had spagetthi straps on it, and these had little rinestones in them. There was glitter all over it and it seemed to make her sparkle. She had charmed her high heel shoes to look like glass, so she felt a bit like Cinderella. Lily put her hair up in a sexy updo, with a few strands hanging down, and then put on some jewelry. She then turned to Jamie to see what she was wearing.
Jamie was wearing a long, purple tube-top dress. It had an empire waist and long sleves that opened up like bells. She had curled her hair and let it fall to her shoulders, and her nails were tipped with purple. She was really excited to see Remus, and she couldn't wait for the dance to start, which wouldn't be very long. Lily and Jamie were meeting their dates in five minutes. Sirius was also meeting his "date" in the common room. They had decided to pretend to go together, and then split up when they got there, but promised to dance together a few times. Peter didn't have a date, but since his friends were so popular, he could probably find some other girls to dance with him. Lily looked over at the clock, and saw that it was time to go. She walked with Jamie to the common room.
Lily looked at James. He was wearing a black suit, and looked very handsome and formal. This was the complete opposite of Sirius. He had on a hawaiian t-shirt with swim trunks on, complete with sandals and puka shells. He even had sunglasses and greeted them with a "peace out dudettes!" before bursting into laughter, along with everyone else. Remus was wearing a red suit, and Peter looked very silly in an orange and green pinstripe suit. They waited for Lauren to come down.
It took a few minutes for Lauren to come to the common room. She was wearing a very shiny, long, bright blue dress. Her brown hair was half up in a very elaborate hair style, and she had streaked a few pieces of the hair that was down with the same bright blue as her dress. She looked a lot taller, and Lily noticed that she had on shoes that were about six or seven inches tall. She greeted Sirius with a hug right in front of his little fan club and then they walked to the great hall. Lauren's dress and streaks in her hair kept changing colors, and Lily couldn't help but notice that Sirius kept staring at her.
There was a sign in front of the great hall that said, "Quidditch Homecoming: Dance for 4th-7th years." The dance for the younger students was going to be held in one of the dungeons. Everyone walked inside together, and they looked at the great hall. There were decorations everywhere, and lots of circular tables for the students to eat at. Some people had already sat down and started eating. James lead them to a table and they sat down and picked up the menus. Lauren's dress was pink now. She picked up her menu and ordered fettucini. The others followed suit. They had just finished eating when Dumbledore stood up at the staff table.
"Excuse me everyone, would you please get up from the tables, the dinner has now ended. Ok, thank you." he said, and then with a flick of his wand all of the tables disappered. "Now, I'm sure you all know that the homecoming king and queen will be picked during the dance, along with the princes, princesses, dukes and dutches. The king and queen will be the 7th year winners, the princes and princesses will be the 7th year runners up and the 4th-6th year winners, and the dukes and dutches will be the 7th year second runners up and the 4th-6th year runners up. The winners will have to first dance. Now, drum roll please, I will announce the winners.
"The 4th year duke will be Luke Alverez, and the dutchess will be Karen Barnes. The prince is Edward Lang and the princess is Lauren Carlson. A round of appluase, please!" said Dumbledore. Lauren got to her feet and was crowned with a beautiful tiara. Lily smiled.
"The 5th year duke is Sirius Black and the dutchess is Brooke Weaver," said Dumbledore. Sirius walked up to where Dumbldore was standing and watched as Brooke, a pretty blonde Ravenclaw, walked up to meet him.
"The prince will be James Potter and the princess is Lily Evans. A round of applause for these fine students," said Dumbldore. James took Lily's hand and Lily was too estatic to realize that Dumbldore was announcing the other winners. Lily was crowned with a tiara, and she put her arms around James' neck. They danced together for the first dance, and afterword James gave Lily a soft kiss on the lips. There was a huge, ooooooooh, how cute! from the audience. Then the actual dance started.
***
Sirius looked over at where Lauren was dancing with some 6th year, and sighed inwardly. He was very confused, he didn't like her, he barely knew her, yet he was jealous of that 6th year for some reason. This was the last part of the dance. There was only an hour left, and during this hour they played only slow songs. He wondered who he would dance with next. Then he heard someone calling him.
"Sirius, earth to Sirius! What's wrong with you, you've been distant all night!" exclaimed Jamie, who he had been dancing with.
"Sorry, sorry, really I didn't mean to..I mean it's like, oh whatever," he said.
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen Sirius Black not be able to string together a whole sentance! That's definatly a first. Why don't you just ask her to dance?" said Jamie.
"What do you mean, ask who?"
"Oh, you know you've been staring at Lauren all night."
"Well, it's just because of her dress. I mean look at it, it's bright green!"
"That's not the reason and you know it!"
"So what. You know, if you weren't one of my best friends, I'd slap you!"
"Yeah right. I believe you. Do you promise you'll dance with her?"
"I guess, if it'll get you to shut up," said Sirius finally. He knew when he'd been defeated.
"Well, the song is over. I'll leave you to your own devices. Good luck!" said Jamie, giving him a quick kiss on the check. She then went up to Remus and started dancing with him. Sirius figured it was now or never, he went over to Lauren, who's dress was now purple, and tapped her shoulder. She spun around and looked at him.
"Hey Sirius, wanna dance?" she asked, and didn't wait for the answer. She wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. Sirius sighed. Lauren sure was something.
***
"Did I ever tell you how much I love you?" asked James.
"Only about a thousand times," said Lily.
"Well, let's make it a thousand and one," he said, and then kissed her. The song had ended, and they broke apart.
"Hey James, will you dance with me?" said a voice. Lily turned around. It was Nancy.
"Yeah, okay. You don't mind, do you Lily?" asked James.
"Course not. I'll find someone to dance with." she said. She turned around and before she could look for anyone a handsome 4th year asked her to dance. James started dancing with Nancy, who was making him rather uncomfortable by dancing extremly close to him. This went on until the song was almost over. They Nancy whispered in his ear.
"You know what, I think we're soul mates," she said.
"WHAT?" asked James.
"Soul mates. We were meant for each other. Really, you should be with me instead of Lily!" said Nancy.
"Um, I don't think so. Nancy, the songs over, I want to dance with Lily." he said.
"What, leave me without a kiss?" she asked in a pleading voice.
"Yeah, that was my intention," said James. Nancy pulled him so close that his lips were less than an inch from hers.
"I love you more than she ever will," said Nancy, and then she kissed him. James pushed her away from him.
"Get off me, please stop being like this!" said James. Lily walked forward with a look of hatred in her eyes.
"Oh, let's see what Lily has to say about you kissing another girl," said Nancy. "Hey bitch, don't you want to go bitch slap your boyfriend?" she asked.
"Hum, let me see, b is for beautiful, i is for intelligent, t is for thrilling, c is for cool, and h is for how hard I'm going to hit you for calling me a bitch!" said Lily. Then she slaped Nancy in the face, but not very hard. Lily was a prefect, she didn't want to get into trouble. "There's your bitch slap for you!"
"Lily, I can't believe you're doing this, I thought you were my friend. Just because James likes me more doesn't mean that you have to be violent!" said Nancy. James laughed at her.
"Yeah, right. Go away, okay Nancy? And don't ever tell me you love me again!" yelled James. Nancy ran sobbing out the door of the great hall. Lily and James started dancing together again, and they talked about how annoying Nancy was being. During one of the last dances, James looked over his shoulder to see Nancy kissing Snape in a corner. He pointed this out to Lily.
"Hey Lil, did you see that?" he asked. Lily nodded.
"Yeah, those slobs deserve each other," she said, and then kissed him. "She could never deserve you."
***
Another slow song came on. Sirius reluctantly split apart from Lauren. Her dress was red now, and she looked really pretty. She looked up at him and asked him a question.
"Do you want to dance again?" she asked.
"Yeah, I guess," he said. He looked over and saw Nancy dancing with Snape. 'I can't believe I ever dated her' he thought. She kissed him, and then looked over at James, obviously trying to make him jealous. This wasn't working of course, and Sirius could tell that James was trying really hard not to laugh at her. 'I can fix that' though Sirius. He pointed his wand at Snape and Nancy, and muttered a spell. All of a sudden both of their legs turned to rubber and they started falling all over the dance floor, running into people. Everyone started laughing.
"What did you say?" asked Lauren.
"Look over your shoulder," said Sirius. Lauren took one look at Snape and then started laughing. They watched as they slid into Peter, who was dancing with a chubby 4th year, and then they slid into Lauren. She was pushed into Sirius, and since her shoes were so tall, her lips were at the same level as his. They were about an inch apart when Nancy bumped into them and their lips met. At this moment, Sirius felt as if everything in the world was perfect. All too soon it was over, and they resumed their normal dancing.
"Sorry," said Lauren.
"Quite alright. It was all Snape's fault." said Sirius.
"You know what, you should change them back. They're a threat to society." said Lauren. Sirius turned their legs back to normal and soon the dance was over. He looked over at Lauren.
"This was fun," he said.
"Yeah. You know, for a stuck-up, popular 5th year you're not a very bad dancer." she said. Sirius laughed.
"Uh-huh. And for a snobby, concieted 4th year princess you sure know how to charm a guy." he said.
"What can I say. It's just a talent. Hey, you know what, I am a princess, and you're only a duke. You'd better bow down if you know what's good for you!" Sirius bent to one knee and then kissed her hand.
"Sorry, m'lady. Parting is such sweet sorrow, I'll say goodbye till it be morrow. Is that right, or do I have my quotes mixed up?"
"Don't know, don't care. Well, I have to go now. Bye!" said Lauren, and then she raced to the gryfindor common room, her dress turning yellow on the way.
A/N-Another fabulous chapter from me. Hope you like it. Sorry it took so long, by hey, it's a pretty long chapter anyways. As always, read and review.
