Someday Chapter 4
A/N – I am officially on fall break! Thank goodness! One week off from school! Plus I'm sick so I have even more time to stay at home and write for my people (lol, I don't have a lot of people... so I'm also writing for myself.)
Oh yeah, I'm not going to embarrass myself by putting my thanks up here to my SEVEN reviewers. I'm so pathetic I only get 7 reviews. BUT I'M GLAD I GOT THEM! YEAH!
So on with the chapter!
The ball went fairly well, Lucius Malfoy insulted Arthur Weasly on his Date, Molly Graham, a chubby girl who was always cheerful, and Arthur cursed him. Both were in the Hospital wing by the end of the night.
Lily couldn't really have that much fun though, after the realization that she could never like Remus had hit her, she could hardly stand to talk to him, let alone dance with him. The only time when she had felt any kind of joy at all had been when she and James were named Queen and King of the dance, winning on account of having the best costumes, and had to dance together. Lily had felt like she was floating on air as James' hand rested on the small of her back, their fingers woven together. For the first time that night, all else had disappeared. They were alone and the room seemed to have no ceiling or floor (this could be because the ceiling looked like the black sky over head and the floor had black carpeting over it...) But that was only the third dance and it was only 9 o'clock, the ball hadn't even reached its peak yet. Lily excused herself for a walk around the garden and quickly scooted out...
Lily P.O.V
Ten minutes ago I saw you
I looked up when you came through the door
My head started reeling
You gave me the feeling
The room had no ceiling or floor
As Lily heard the familiar strains of music from the movie Cinderella, she saw Remus and another girl begin to dance.
I wish I could enjoy this night for Remus
The roses were alight with the fairies inside. She couldn't help but wonder hour Dumbledore had managed to get the Rose fairy's to stay in place for four hours, they were said to be very impatient.
Ten minutes ago I met you
And we murmured our how-do-you-do's
I wanted to ring out the bells
And fling out my arms and to sing out the news
She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to find James standing there. "What's a lovely young lady like yourself doing out here on such a beautiful night?" he asked with a bow, playing the role of a Gentleman from the past. "Just admiring the beautiful Rose bushes, you're Lordship." Lily replied, with a mock curtsey.James wiggled his ears a little, then said"I know this tune; I would be honored if you would dance with me.""I would love to dance with you." Lily said truthfully
I have found her, she's an angel
With the dust of the stars in her eyes
We are dancing, we are flying
And she's taking me back to the skies.
James rested one hand on her lower back and he used the other to take one of Lily's hands, Lily placed her other hand on his shoulder and they began to twirl around the empty garden walk.
In the arms of my love I'm flying
Over Mountain and meadow and glen
And I like it so well, that for all I can tell
I may never come down again
I may never come down to earth again.A smile graced Lily's lips as James did a particular twirl, causing one of the more rowdy bushes to leap out of their way. He kept a hold of her hand but let go of her back and spun her around under his arm, causing her dress to flow like water.
Ten minutes ago I met you
And we murmured our how-do-you-do's
I wanted to ring out the bells
And fling out my arms and to sing out the newsJames brought her back to him and began to hum along in her ear.
I have found her
I have found him
Lily found her self being tipped backwards, his arm supporting all her body weight while the other hand brought her back up.
In the arms of my love I'm flying
Over Mountain and meadow and glen
And I like it so well
That for all I can tell
I may never come down again
I may never come down to earth againThe last few whispers of the song reached them and they stopped dancing, their bodies pressed against each other tightly. His arms were no longer on her back and hand but he had them both wrapped around her so that she couldn't have moved if she tried. He slowly let her go, half holding on, and half pushing her away. At the last minute he grabbed her back and placed a light kiss on her cheek. Lily turned and left him there; standing near the fountain... wondering what had just happened.
Back in the boy's dorms
"So Remy, how'd things go with Lil's?" Asked Sirius in a very loud voice, he was quite drunk.
"Okay," replied Remus, quietly, hoping Sirius would get the message and turn down the volume in his voice.
"I don't think I'm interested in being more that friends with her anyway... I might've met someone tonight."A chorus of cheers and cat calls went up from the 7th years guys, James kept quiet though.
"Don't worry Remus; I give you full permission to date Bethany." James said casually.
Sirius, Peter, and Frank all began to demand explanations."Well, you remember when we were waiting for Lily and all them, when Bethany and I split to talk?" They all nodded
"We decided that we were only in that relationship for the physical things, not the stuff you really need in a relationship. Plus she has a major ass crush on Remy." James said, smiling at Remus who was positively beaming.
"Then I told Remus to go for it, and he said okay." James finished.
They were all quiet for a minute. Then they all threw things at James.
"You dumped her because all you did was have sex?" Sirius exclaimed "THEN YOU SENT HER TO REMUS! I THUGHT I WAS YOUR BESTFRIEND!"
They all started laughing at the serious way Sirius sounded.
Hours later they were all very drunk.
"My good fellow's" slurred James "I propose a jousting match between I, King James of the Halloweeny ball, and Sirius, Jealous ass because he can't get any sex"
"Huffah!" they all shouted.
"Good king Jamsey, I asept your perposal and await the chance to kick your sorry hiney." Sirius replied, drunker then anybody else in the room.
"HUFFAH!" they all shouted again.
James and Sirius both grabbed their broomsticks and fake wands and started prancing around like they were on horses and brandishing the fake wands (now rubber chickens) at each other.
"Ready, set, HUFFAH!" screamed Remus, unofficial referee.James and Sirius raced at each other, but at the last minute Sirius did a bit of a jump and the next thing you know, he's plastered to the ceiling.
"Tha's the trouble ya get when you try to joust on flying brooms." Frank muttered to Peter.
A/N – hope you liked it, if you didn't get the last part it was that they thought thy were in the Middle Ages and instead of saying "Huzzah" they are saying "huffah"
