AUTHORS NOTE:: Hey! It's been such a long time and I'm really sorry about that. I had my birthday, and then I began writing this chapter. Then Christmas holidays came along and I became busy almost everyday. Between last minute Christmas shopping and getting together with my friends. The story had been abandoned. But recently, some nights, when my sister would get on the computer and I was left with nothing to do. I began to take out my notebook and began writing more and more of this chapter. I promised all of you more Michael. So I brought him back. Should be fun. I want to thank everyone for being patient and thank you for not spazzing on me. This chapter I wrote is called "He's Back and The Dance". Obviously, it's about Michael coming back into the picture. And the dance. I'm not going to put too much detail into the dance because I'm not good at detail. Along with writing this story, I might write another story that isn't Harry Potter related. Just a story-which I will hopefully post on fanfictionpress.com (I believe that is the plain fanfiction site). From there I will continue with this story, but while writing the other story because I have ideas in my head. I get these ideas from when I get writers block writing this story, and ideas just appear for other stories. But I will tell you if I get the other story posted. But I supposed you want me to go on with the chapter. So I will. Read and Review please!!!
DISCLAIMER:: I don't own this stuff. Except for the characters I put in separately. Thank you.

"He's Back and The Dance"
Lily walked down the halls of Hogwarts on her rounds. It was getting late but she had to do rounds anyways. She and James had gone separate ways for rounds, finding that if they went together they spent most of their time in a broom closet. Lily didn't want to ruin her reputation if they got caught, so she sent James off one way, she going the other. Lily had her hand on her wand that was currently in her pocket, just incase any problems should arise. But as Lily walked down the halls, she relaxed and released her wand.
"There's gotta be more to life." Lily began singing to herself. "Then chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me." Lily glanced around making sure nobody was in the hall with her. Everything was clear so she continued. "Cause the more that I'm tripping out thinking there must be more to life. Causes its life. And I'm sure. There's gotta be more. Then wanting more." Lily continued down the hall, unaware of two pairs of eyes watching her. "I'm always waiting on something other that this. Why am I feeling like there's something I've missed." Lily stopped singing. She had sworn she heard footsteps behind her. Figuring it was James, she relaxed and turned around to greet him.
"Trying to scare me Ja-" she stopped. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Told you I'd be seeing you again." Said the figure advancing on her.
~*~*~*
With JamesJames watched Lily walk down the hall singing to herself.
'She's beautiful.' He thought to himself. Suddenly he saw a figure step out of the shadows and Lily stopped singing. Though the figure had its back to James, he knew exactly who it was.
~*~*~*~
Back To Lily"20 points from your house for being out after curfew." Lily said as he continued advancing towards her.
"Aww come on Lily Flower. You know to want to see me." He said to her, as he got closer.
"No I don't." said Lily. "No. Just stay away." He backed Lily up against the wall.
"Flower. Just give in. You know you can resist me." Michael said, kissing the nape of Lily's neck.
"Stop. Michael. No!" Lily tried pushing Michael off her but he had a tight grip on her. He began kissing her when all of the sudden Michael was pulled off of her and thrown to the ground. Lily looked into the eyes of her boyfriend. She flung her arms around him, tears flowing down her cheeks.
"I didn't know what to do." She cried. But suddenly, James went limp in her arms. Struggling to hold him up, Lily looked over his shoulder to see Michael, wand raised. But behind him, Lily noticed Sirius materialize out of thin air.
"Petrificus Totalus!" Sirius yelled and Michael dropped to the floor. Sirius ran over to Lily and helped her sit James against the wall.
"Enervate." He said pointing his wand at James. Opening his eyes, James glanced around and immediately pulled Lily into his arms.
Sirius looked on for a second, a smile on his face, before turning his eyes on Michael and muttering a few simple, well-maybe not so simple to reverse, hexes. Sirius grinned at Michaels new appearance.
"Asshole." He said, and leaned back against the wall, waiting for Lily and James.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lily glanced at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a floor length black dress. It made her look, if possible, more skinnier than she was (though Lily was a very healthy skinny). Her hair was in a fancy up-do. Half of her hair flowed down her back while the rest was pinned up. She had shimmery eye shadow and a simple watermelon-flavoured (A/N my favourite flavour!!) on. She smiled a little at her appearance and turned away from the mirror, reaching for her dress robes off the floor. Sticking her wand in her robes, she turned for a last look in the mirror. "You look smashing dear." Said her mirror. She smiled at the mirror, the turned away and headed for the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~
James stood, comb in hand, in front of the bathroom mirror. He, as most could tell, was trying to tame his hair. Needless to say, we all know it wasn't working, nor would it ever.
"Come on." He said, obviously frustrated with his messy black hair.
"Talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity." Said the mirror.
"No. The first sign of insanity is when your mirror talks to you and you talk back. Or when I actually believe I could go through with this." He replied.
Throwing down the comb. He went back into his room, threw on his dress robes and grabbed his wand. Heading for the door, he stopped and walked back into the bathroom.
"Besides," he said to the mirror. "I wasn't talking to myself. I was talking to my hair."
~*~*~*~*~*~
Lily and James stood arm in arm in front of the doors to the great hall.
"We now present—" Lily said as the doors began to open.
"The Christmas Dance." Both she and James said together.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"May I have this dance?" asked a voice from behind Lily as she stood talking to some friends. She turned around to see James standing there.
"Of course." James led Lily out to the middle of the dance floor as a new song began to play.
Thank you for this moment
I've gotta say how beautiful you are
Of all the hopes and dreams I could have prayed for
Here you are
If I could have one dance forever
I would take you by the hand
Tonight it's you and I together
I'm so glad I'm your man
"I'm so glad I'm your man." James repeated to Lily when he held her in his arms.
"Me too." She said.
And if I lived a thousand years
You know I never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you that day
But if destiny decided I should look the other way
Then the world would never know
The greatest story ever told
And did I tell you that I love you tonight
James looked down into Lily's eyes. She was everything he had ever wanted. There was no doubt about that.
I don't hear the music
When I'm looking in your eyes
But I feel the rhythm of your body
Close to mine
It's the way we touch that sends me
It's the way we'll always be
Your kiss your pretty smile
You know I'd die for
Oh baby
You're all I needLily looked up into James' eyes. She never expected, not in a million years, that she would actually fall for James Potter. But here she was. Right now. In his arms. And things felt right.
And if I lived a thousand years
You know I never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you that day
But if destiny decided I should look the other way
Then the world would never know
The greatest story ever told
And did I tell you that I love you
Just how much I really need you
Did I tell you that I love you tonight?
James couldn't help himself, he leaned down and captured Lily's lips in a kiss. It wasn't passionate. Nor was it detailed. It was just a simple kiss.
And if I lived a thousand years
You know I never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you that day
But if destiny decided I should look the other way
Then the world would never know
The greatest story ever told
And did I tell you that I love you
Just how much I really need you
Did I tell you that I love you tonight?James pulled away from the kiss and looked into Lily's eyes once again.
"Did I tell you that I love you tonight?" he asked her. Lily looked at him confused. So he repeated himself. "Did I tell you that I love you tonight?" She shook her head no. "Well then forgive me flower." He gave her a quick peck on the lips. And wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer. "I love you Lily Evans." He whispered in her ear. She looked up into his eyes and saw what she needed to see. True Love. And it was then she came to a conclusion.
"I love you too James Potter."
