a/n: I don't know what some of ya are talking about. Last chapter wasn't really a cliffhanger. Was it? Well anyhow to you people who take it as a cliffie, YES! James forgive her

Chapter 8:



*meet me at the astronomy tower at 11:00 tonight*

Lily frowned. She hastily stuffed the note back into bag where she had found it skipped off to dinner.

At 11:00 Lily looked up at the clock and gasped.

"Darn it. I'm late and I'm only wearing my pajamas. I can't meet him in this!" Lily wailed

Jas looked at her strangely. "Who are you meeting?"

Lily sighed. "Some random person wants to meet me at the Astronomy tower right now"

"Gotta dash!" Lily yelled as she sprinted toward the portrait door

10 minutes later Lily huffed into the Astronomy tower. She curiously peered in to see who her secret admirer might be but his back was turned toward her. Lily sighed and smoothed out her hair and gasped when she realized she was still wearing her pajamas. Obviously her 'admirer' had heard and he turned around.

Lily swayed on the spot as she stared into James Potter's whirlpool chocolate eyes.

"Hey" he said lightly. Lily snapped out of her trance.

"Oh, hey. So what's up, why did you want me to meet you up her?" Lily replied trying to keep the anxiety out of her voice.

"Well…" James said hesitantly looking away.

"Well what?" Lily asked growing impatient

James blushed slightly. "Well I was just wondering if you will go to the Spring Ball with me" he finished softly and looked at her hopefully.

Lily looked at him dreamily. She never noticed how adorable James looked especially when he was uncomfortable.

"Say what?" Lily asked incredulously

James fidgeted slightly, "Do you want to go to the Spring Ball with me?"

Lily looked at him blankly. "Well um sure. I'd love to," she replied obviously confused that James Potter had asked her to the Ball

James's face brightened, "Great I'll meet you in the common room. K?" with that he kissed her lightly on the cheek and left the room.

Lily stood there for a moment. "Great Evans," she told herself "See what you've got your self into now? The Ball is tomorrow and you don't even have a dress."

* * * * * *

"James, what?" Jas nearly screamed when Lily told her the next day?

"He asked me to the ball and I agreed but I don't even have a dress!" Lily answered miserably

1 Jas looked at her expectantly, "Well, what do you think I'm here for?"

Lily looked at her intrigued

2 Jas raised her eyebrows, "Well you're in luck because I bought one for you."

"You did?" Lily shrieked so that the entire population of Hogwarts turned and stared at her. "Oh my god, you seriously did?"

Jas nodded like it was the most obvious thing in the world while Lily strangled her with a hug.

"Well let's go! There are only a couple hours till the dance!"

* * * * * *

Lily gasped when Jas handed her her dress. "It's gorgeous" Lily sighed dreamily holding it up and pretending to dance with an imaginary person.

Jas fingered the dark green silk, "It'll look stunning on you."

Lily rushed off to change in the girl's room. After she put it on Lily examined herself in the mirror. The dress was a deep green silk tank dress, which was edged with silver velvet on the edges. Along with it there was a long crepe shawl that Lily draped elegantly on her arms and flowed fluidly on the ground.

Lily stepped out and found Jas adjusting her dress. It was a glittery white strapless dress that flowed all the way to the ground with a 2-foot train behind her. There was a sash tied around her waist that trailed on the ground.

"How do I look?" Jas asked tightening her sash.

Lily looked at her thoughtfully, "Very angelic looking. How are you going to do you hair?"

Jas laughed "I'm going to leave it down." She replied dreamily brushing her that cascaded loosely on her shoulders.

Lily shrugged and pulled her hair in a ponytail.

"You're not going to the Ball with your hair like that are you?" Jas asked horrified.

She quickly grabbed a comb.

Within half an hour later, Lily's hair was pilled on top of her head is ringlets. Among her hair Jas wreathed a garland of green ribbons to give her a regal look. Green glitter was sprayed into her hair.

Jas looked at Lily satisfied. "Well, let's go the Ball started 10 minutes ago"

They met the guys in the common room. James presented Lily with a dozen of roses. Lily gasped in delight

"They're gorgeous" Lily said smiling their sweet scent reminding her of her secret admirer.

James smiled at her contently, "Just like you."

Lily blushed and looked distractedly away at Jas with her date, Sirius. Jas had turned down Pat and insisted that he 'wasn't the one for her'

She looked so sweet standing next to Sirius since he was practically a foot taller then her.

* * *

"Do you want to dance?" James asked Lily.

Lily looked at him dreamily and agreed

'Slow dancing with James is like being in heaven' Lily thought as she wrapped hands around his neck and swayed to the music. Lily lightly laid her head against James's hard, masculine chest and closed her eyes to enjoy the music.

James put his hands all the way around Lily's waist so that she was nearly touched him. She was seemed so petite and delicate. James breathed in lovingly to smell, lilies

* * * *

Lily sat on a couch and was watching Sirius and Jas slow dance. It was a funny sight since Jas was practically dancing on her toes to reach Sirius. She was too tired to dance and fell asleep on the couch

James grinned mischievously as he watched Lily sleeping peacefully.

He gently woke her up and motioned for her to come with him. Lily frowned and followed James out of the Great Hall and into the Charms Corridor.

James stopped and turned around to face Lily.

Lily looked at him curiously. She could feel the sexual tension forming around them

James faltered for a second, "Will you go out with me?"





. . .

Thanks for the reviews. That was probably very boring. And really sappy in a way.

* I think im going to take a break from this story and maybe start a new one or something*

Sorry about the delay. I've got the most evil teacher on earth and I seriously think he hates me. (he called me a psycho, can u believe that?) But that's okay. Please review and have a glam day!
