At the Christmas ball
The six of them casually walked into the great hall. It looked amazing! There were green and red ribbons and streamers everywhere! There was a large Christmas tree in the back with lights spread all around it and all around the room. The room was lighted by candles and Christmas lights. It was enough so you could see every thing but it was still dim. Instead of the four long tables there were sets of smaller little tables around the room with a big dance floor in the middle.
"Care to dance?" James asked turning to Lily and outstretching his had.
"I'd love too" Lily responded taking his hand. The walked gracefully out onto the dance floor. There was a slow song playing so James spun Lily around him and then they got very close. The other four made their way to an empty table. Right before they sat down:
"Cheri would you like to dance?" Sirius asked her
"I'd love too" she responded. They walked out onto the dance floor and started dancing right next to Lily and James. Remus and Millie were snogging at the table.
Lily and James were talking about Christmas when Snape walked up to them.
"Care if I cut in?" he asked
"Actually I do care" James said
"I wasn't asking you" Snape spat at him.
"As you can see I am dancing with James so please leave!" Lily said
"Fine mudblood" Snape muttered a little too loudly. James heard this comment and lunged at him. He fell to the floor and James started pounding his head into the floor. Sirius ran over to James and pried him off of Snape.
"James calm down" Sirius said holding him back. James was unharmed but Snape was bleeding badly and had many black and blues. Luckily there were no teachers around. Snape ran out of the great hall and James calmed down. Sirius went back over to Cheri. And James went back to lily. They started dancing again
"What was that about?" Lily asked. She hadn't heard the comment so had no idea why James lunged at him.
"Nothing it was just something he said. I hate him" James said
"Anyway so you're going away this Christmas?" James asked trying to change the subject.
"Yea but ill be back" Lily said
"I know but ill miss you" James said
"I'll miss you too" Lily said. He kissed her and the stood there kissing
Sirius and Cheri
"I wonder what that was about." Sirius said
"Yea me too" Cheri said
"So where are you going for Christmas?" he asked
"I going back home to see my family" Cheri said
"Oh so your leaving me here all alone?" Sirius said with a puppy face
"You are so cute when you do that" Cheri said kissing him.
Remus and Millie
"So your going back home for Christmas?" Remus asked her
"Yea" she replied. (A/n I wanted everyone to know that the three girls were all leaving and the boys were staying)
Sirius and Millie came over and sat back down just as the song ended. It turned to a fast kind of swing song.
James and Lily
James spun lily around him and then spun her towards him. She got a little dizzy and almost fell but James caught her and dipped her. He leaned down and kissed her softly. He put her back up and she recommended they go sit down. They walked back over to the table to find both Cheri and Sirius snogging as well as Remus and Millie snogging. When they sat down Remus looked over at James and so did Sirius. The three girls got up to go 'freshen up' and they boys started talking
"What went on out there James?" Sirius asked him as soon as the girls left
"I don't know I was dancing with lily when he asked to cut in. lily said no and when he turned away he muttered mudblood and I heard it and lunged at him" James explained.
"Oh. James you have to control yourself" Remus said
"I know. Let's just drop it ok" James said
"You know Cheri is going away for break" Sirius said
"Lily too" James said
"Yea so is Millie" Remus said
"I see you and Cheri are hitting it off" Remus said
"Yea two were getting close out there" James said
"Yea" Sirius said
"You ok Sirius" James asked
"I feel weird. She makes me feel nervous. I've never felt this way this way with a girl before" Sirius said
Are you saying she's that special someone?" James asked
"I think she is" Sirius said
"O my god" James said jokingly. He put his hand on his heart. "Sirius is in love" James joked
"Don't joke! I really think I am" Sirius said.
"Are what?" Cheri asked sitting down next to him. James sat there his mouth half open staring at Sirius in shock
"James are you ok?" Cheri asked waving her hand in front of his face.
"I - I - I'm fine" James said not taking his eyes off Sirius
"JAMES!' Sirius yelled. James shook his head and got up to go find Lily. He found her at the refreshment table. He grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the great hall.
"What?" she said as he dragged her into a corner.
"Sirius is in love with Cheri" he said very quickly
"HE'S WHAT? She yelled unbelievingly
"Shhh" James said
"O my god, I have to tell Cheri" Lily said
"NO" James yelled "you can't"
"Fine" she said "I won't"
"Good" James said "Now when we go back out there you have to act normal." James told her
"Ok" Lily said she took a deep breath and they walked back in and sat down.
"James you ok?" Cheri asked him
"I'm fine I just needed some air" James told her
"O ok" she said
"The dance was about to end as they played the last song. All six of them headed out towards the dance floor.
Sirius and Cheri
"I have something to tell you" Sirius said as they danced
"Yes" Cheri said looking at him
"Well, um," Sirius started
"You know you can tell m e anything Sirius" Cheri said
"I think I love you Cheri" Sirius said quickly. He looked into her eyes and she kissed him
"I think I love you too" Cheri whispered in his ear. Just then the song ended and they left with the others back up to their common room. The girls said good night as James spun Lily towards him once more and kissed her. The only ones left in the common room were the three boys.
"That was a good night" Remus said leaning back into the couch.
"Yes it was" James said. Sirius sat there starring into the fire
"I told her I loved her" he said. Both James and Remus sat there in shock
"She told me she loved me too" Sirius said a grin now spreading across his face. Still not removing his eyes from the fire"
"I'm proud of you padfoot" James said
"Yea me too" Remus said. They walked up the stairs to their room and fell asleep. Except for Sirius who laid there thinking about what he just did. Finally sleep came over him and he drifted off into a pleasant dream about Cheri.
