Thursday came quickly for Lily. Her and James had quite a few snogging
sessions but nothing more. They also hadn't mentioned it to anyone yet.
When Lily first told James not to he protested by Lily eventually got him
to see reason. (Wink wink)
Lily was in her room getting ready for the next masquerade, which was going to be starting in about thirty minutes. She was wearing a dark green dress with her hair, once again, black, eyes gray and the same mask as the last time.
Lily, finally pleased, walked out of her dorm and out of the common room towards the entrance hall. She had been enjoying her time with James, however, she still was glad for the dances where she was able to go and meet someone different. Lily was still entranced by the mystery boy, and hoped he would be there again.
She walked in and saw that dinner was still going on. However instead of the great tables there was around a hundred smaller ones that each held six students. Lily scanned the hall and noticed that the tables were clearing.
"Perfect timing, again." She mumbled to herself. She wandered over to a table and sat down. She grabbed the cup closest to her and took a sip.
"And you are?" asked a boy sitting across form her.
"Not telling." Lily said shortly before turning from the boy.
"Well I'm afraid that your going to have to get your. . ."
"There you are." exclaimed the boy mystery Lily met at the other masquerade.
"I was wondering when you'd show up." Lily grinned and stood up. Before leaving she turned and gave an icy glare to the boy sitting at the table, "you know if you keep being such a prick to people you might end up with certain, appendages, simply disappearing." She whispered in his ear before turning back to the red haired boy and walked off chattering away.
"Why did you leave last time?" The boy asked her.
"Because it was almost midnight. And when the clock strikes twelve I no longer am mystery girl, cause the mask must come off. So I will leave at midnight."
"Oh, so I'm not allowed to know who you are? Well you must at least give me an alias, I don't like walking around looking for someone that I can't call anything." He whispered pulling her onto the dance floor.
"Why don't you come up with something? I really don't care. That way, I get to name you as well."
"Alright, how about Mystique?"
"Alright, and what should I call you." Lily said, pondering.
"How about devilishly handsome?"
"Cocky eh?"
"Look at me? Why shouldn't I be?" He said pulling her away a little so she could get a better look at him.
"Humph, alright how about, um. . ."
"Is it really that difficult?" He asked slightly annoyed.
"What do you want me to come up with something like, I don't know, Carrot top?" Lily asked cringing from a memory of the Maurders calling her that particular nickname.
He chuckled slightly, "I guess not. So since your not going to let me see who you are can I talk to you sometime during the week?"
"How? I'm not going to tell you who I am, and I can't meet you anywhere you'd know who I am."
"Well good thing for me, I thought ahead." He said grinning at her.
"Oh, really? And how did you know that I wouldn't be allowing you to see me?"
"I didn't it was just a precaution." He grinned back cheekily.
"Alright what is it?" Lily asked back eagerly.
"Have you heard of scratch pads?"
"Sure, everyone has. And everyone wants them. Why?"
"Here." He shoved a package at her. Lily took it and ran her fingers over a rough brown cover of what looked to be an ordinary book.
"What is it?" Lily asked confused.
"Kind of blonde are we?"
"Why should I know what it is?"
"It's a scratch pad."
"What!" Lily shouted almost dropping the previous book, "but those things cost a fortune!"
"Now you have to talk to me!"
"How will I know when you're on?"
"In the corner if you open the book if I'm on it will show a little red dot."
"Okay, how does it work?" Lily asked embarrassed.
" You don't know?"
"If I did, do you think I'd be asking?"
"You just right. And if I'm on it will show up on mine. However you have to touch the dot with the tip of your Quill. And if you want to talk to anyone else you can write in their name and it will automatically take you to them."
"Thank you." Lily smiled up at him,
"So Red what do ya want to do now?"
"Red?"
"Yep."
"Well I can think of something," he said leading her out of the great hall. Lily wasn't really paying attention to where she was being led. She had a million thoughts scurrying through her mind and she couldn't seem to understand any of them. Nothing made sense to her. All she could think of was the boy leading her. When she felt the cold wind whip around her she yelped in surprise.
"Are you okay?"
"Fine I just wasn't expecting to be led outside."
She thought of James. The only places they ever went, were places to sneak away and snog. She watched the moon dance around the lake as her mystery boy held her in his arms.
The one thing that bothered her, was what would she tell James?
