Chapter 2:
They walked into the party where they saw some of their fellow Gryffindors and a few groups of Ravenclaws they didn't know. Except Remus saw his ex-girlfriend, Mary O'Reilly in the crowd. He smiled inwardly, she was still cute.
As soon as Sirius got in, he headed for the refreshment table and began to drain the cups of Butterbeer. Remus knew he should stop him but after seeing Mary and James and Lily, he didn't feel like doing much. He plunked himself down in a chintz (LOL) armchair and got ready for a long night.

A few hours later, Remus had not been asked to dance by anyone. Mary had smiled at him though, as she whirled by dancing with a Ravenclaw boy. James and Lily looked as though they were having the time of their lives and as the party was almost over, it didn't seem Remus would get his dance. He decided to look for Sirius. He had a hard time searching in the crowd but finally found him slouched, unconscious in a corner. He rushed forward and slapped his face to revive him. He awoke with a jolt and tried to kiss Remus! Remus backed away quickly and decided to go get James.
He found him dancing with Lily and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Whaddya want?" James said, whirling around, he didn't look exactly sober, but he was nowhere near as drunk as Sirius.
"Yes, James, well, um, it's Sirius. He's done it again."
"Oh for Merlin's sake! All I want is one night with my girl and-" he broke off seeing everyone was staring at him. "All right, where is he?"
"Over there," Remus said, pointing toward a disgusted group of Ravenclaw Sirius was now trying to kiss.
"I'll handle this." He said, pushing past Remus. As he did, Remus saw Lily looking a little awkward.
"Lupin?" she said, warily. "Do you wanna dance?"
Do I? He thought. "Sure." He replied, trying to look casual. Just then, a new song came on. A Beatles song. Remus loved the Beatles. Together, hand in hand, they danced to the song that described Remus' feelings perfectly.
X Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me
I don't wanna kiss or hold your hand
If it's funny try and understand
There is really nothing else I'd rather do
Cuz I'm happy just to dance with you X
Remus looked into Lily's eyes and almost cried, because he realized he'd never have her. He wished the song would last forever.
X I don't need to hug or hold you tight
I just wanna dance with you all night
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
Cuz I'm happy just to dance with you X
As he twirled Lily gracefully he tried to savor every move she made. Something in his mind told him he wouldn't see her again. That she would not be around for much longer.
X Just to dance with you
Is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me X
A Ravenclaw boy came up and asked if he could 'cut in' but Remus just held Lily's hands tighter and twirled her away. He didn't want anyone taking his dance away.
X If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
Cuz I'm happy just to dance with you

Meanwhile, James was heaving Sirius into an armchair and attempting a 'sobering-up' charm when Sirius started to get angry. James dodged the punches Sirius was throwing and said, "Why don't you go beat up on Remus?"
"He's busy." Sirius slurred,
"Doing what?" James snapped.
"Dancing with your pretty woman."
James whirled around and saw Remus about to kiss Lily!
