Alright, this is chapter three of The Beautiful Lily. YAY! Be happy. Did you think I'd let you hanging for long? No? Aw, thanks. Anyway, here goes chapter 3! And please don't harass me to write a new chapter everyday. I have a life. It doesn't mean I won't update until nest year. It's means it will take a few days. A week tops. So please don't harass me or I will be forced to block you from reviewing my fanfics. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------

BACK AT THE YULE BALL

Lily walked into the great Hall. All the tbales were cleared and the decorations were stunning. Many of them were orbs that changed to the colors of the houses and floated near the ceiling. Lily saw James waiting for her with a rose near one of the tables set up fro drinks. Lily thought she could hear her heartbeat and blushed slightly and she walked towards James. James was smiling at her and handed her the rose. "Thanks." said Lily rather timidly. "You're welcome." Said james. They stood there darting their eyes around the room pretending to see something interesting. "So, do you want to dance?" asked James. Lily looked back at him and smiled slightly. "Sure." said Lily. James took Lily by the hand and led her to the dance floor. The Weird Sisters were playing and Lily was thinking of what everyone's reactions would be if they ever heard a muggle band like the Beatles. She chuckled to her self thinking of how confused people would look. James seemed to notice the slight change in her mood.

"What's so funny?" asked James. "Am I that bad of a dancer?" Lily laughed again hardly containing her self. It's not that. You're a good dancer. It's just that I had a funny thought." James didn't look convinced. "Sure. That's what you want me to think, right?" Lily shook her head and sighed. "I was just thinking what everyone's reaction would be if they heard the Beatles." James looked utterly confused. "The Beatles? Who are they?" asked James. "They're a muggle band. I am muggle born remember?" said Lily. James laughed. "Who names their bad after a bug?" asked James. "No, they didn't. Their named is spelled B-e-a-t-l-e-s. Not b-e-e-t-l-e-s." laughed Lily. James still looked bewildered. "Whatever, Lily." Lily's heart gave a tug when he said her name. "Wow, I haven't heard you say my first name in a long time. You usually call me Evans." said Lily. James smiled at her. "Well, if we're going to be friends we might as well be on first name terms shouldn't we?" asked James. Lily nodded. "Do you want to go into the courtyard and talk?" asked James. "Sure." said Lily. So James took her hand and led her to the courtyard.

Sirius saw James and Lily leave for the courtyard. "Hm... I wonder what they're up to. This I got to see." smirked Sirius. He left his dance partner and headed for the courtyard.

COURTYARD

Lily sat down smoothing out her green dress and laid her hands in her lap. James sat down next to her and looked up at the sky. "Lily?" asked James. Lily looked up at him. "Yes?" replied Lily. James shifted nervously and ran his hand through his hair. "Do you like me?" asked James. "Of course I like you." said Lily. "I mean to tell you the truth, I've always liked you. Accept when you were being a prat." James laughed nervously. "I am sorry. I just really liked you." said James. "Well, you had a horrible way of showing it." said Lily. Lily stood and wasn't really looking where she was going. She was walking back towards James, but something tripped her. (AN: Ha... I wonder what sly "dog" did that one...) Lily fell on top of James and was blushing furiously. James was entranced by her dazzling eyes and got a little closer for a kiss. There was a rustle in the bushes behind them and Lily and James turned around just in time to see a bush move suddenly. It grew silent for a while, but then James carefully pulled Lily off of him, sat her carefully on a stone bench and stood and went behind the bushes. "SIRIUS!" yelled James from behind the bushes. There was a sound of rustling. Sirius emerged laughing uncontrollably. He fell over in the process. James emerged from the bushes all dirty and looked like he was wrestled to the ground. "Sirius! That was awfully rude." said Lily standing and crossing her arms. (AN: And you thought it was just going to be a cheesy love story. What's romance without comedy?) Sirius finally got up and was still laughing between breathes. "I am sorry... I just... HA HA HA! I couldn't help myself, Lily. I am truly sorry..." replied Sirius still snorting with laughter. Lily shook her head in dismay and took James' hand and led him out of the courtyard. "Have fun you love birds!" shouted Sirius from the courtyard.

THE GROUNDS- BY THE LAKE

Lily led him to a tree next to the lake. They sat down and gazed at the lake. "I can't believe what Sirius did." said Lily throwing a pebble into the lake. James started to laugh. "It was kind of funny, though if you looked from his perspective. In fact, it's hilarious." said James ready to burst with laughter. Lily rolled her eyes. "I never want to have a kid like that. I'll teach him how to be decent and kind." said Lily smiling at the thought. "He'll be a famous and respectable wizard..." James grinned. "How do you know it's going to be a boy?" asked James. Lily sighed. "I don't know. That's the fun of it, right? Not knowing... He'll have eyes like mine and he will be very powerful. I'll teach him everything I know. He won't be like Sirius. Reckless and have a bad temper. Having a need to prove him self or show off. He'll find a decent with and marry her." Lily sighed with happiness. James smiled. "You'll be a good mother. Whether it be a boy or a girl." said James. "Thanks. But I am really hoping for a boy." said Lily playing with her hair. She stopped when she remembered Kate's warning. "So, have you ever been kissed by another bloke?" asked James. James closed in and kissed her lightly on the lips. "I have now." said Lily blushing slightly. "I hope you get your wish and get a boy someday." said James looking out at the lake. Lily looked down at the edge of the lake where the water was rippling closely to her. She saw James' reflection. No, it wasn't James. She saw a boy who looked like James with startling green eyes. He had a lightning bolt scar on his forehead and unkept looking hair. He smiled at Lily. "Harry..." whispered as she touched the water. More than ever she had the urge to touch his face. She felt sadness as his reflection rippled away with her touch. "Lily? Did you say something?" asked James looking at her with concern. "You look sad..." Lily looked back at him with a hint of worry, but when she looked into his eyes her worry and sadness was gone. "No, it was nothing. I just thought I saw something in the water." said Lily standing. "Do you want to go back and dance?" asked James. Lily looked at him and saw not a boy, but a man. And someday Lily was going to marry a man just like James. And maybe have the boy she wished for. "Sure, I'd love to." said Lily taking his arm. "So what are you going to name that boy of yours?" asked James. "Harry..." said Lily looking back at the lake thoughtfully.
