((Author's note- this shall be a chapter on the Valentine Dance))

SERENA'S POV

"AUGGGHHHH!",I hear Jessica and Sharrie screaming in the bathroom, "WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO WEAR???"

Tonight was the ball. Well of course it is, or else my friends wouldn't be screaming their heads off in the bathroom.

I was wearing this silky blue dress, and my hair was tied up into a ponytail with this long dangly silky blue ribbon. I didn't care much for sandals, so I just decided to wear sneakers, with blue shoelaces.

I knew that Remus wouldn't care if I wore a peasant's dress, he just wanted me to show up, which is exactly what I wanted to do.

Lily did the same thing as me, except her dress was a light green shade. It matched her eyes perfectly. She was wearing fancier shoes than me though. I doubt that there are any girls who don't have shoes fancier than mine. Not that I care much.

Lily was calm and quiet. Unlike the two screaming people in the bathroom. Jessica and Sharrie were very…. screamy today. They've been in there forever.

"Hurry up!" I called. "We're going to be late!"

They screamed. In the end, they still came out perfectly gorgeous.

We went down into the Gryfindor common room to greet the boys. They were wearing matching ties and suits. Looking very twitchy, I went to Remus. He looked into my eyes.

"Wow…."

I laughed happily. "You like?"

"I love."

He handed me a single red rose. I held onto it.

"Ohhhh…" I murmured. "It's so pretty…"

As we went down to the dinning room, I saw all the girls getting flowers from their escorts. It was Lily's idea for all the boys to get girls flowers, being Head Girl and all.

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

"Want to dance with me, Serena?"

I smiled. "Sure!"

We went to the dance floor in the middle, where some couples were already starting to dance. I put an arm around his neck, and another held onto hand. Remus's other hand was holding gently onto my waist.

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

We swayed slowly to the music.

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

"I'm not a great dancer." I confessed to Remus. "Especially with these shoes." I stopped, and lifted my dress up slightly, showing him the sneakers. He laughed gently.

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me

"I'm not a great dance either." He smiled.

"Whoa!" I tripped on my long dress. He caught me right before I fell, and we stayed in that position for a few moments. I blushed.

'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories

'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

"Opps. Thanks for catching me."

"No problem. If you trip again, I wouldn't care. I'll just catch you again." He joked.

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

I smiled. "I'd trip again if I could get caught by you."

And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't....

JAMES POV

I was dancing with Lily. She was a light dancer, sweet and beautiful. She stepped lightly, perfectly. I tried my best to dance too, but I was VERY aware of her arm around my neck. At first I stuttered a lot, but talking to her was so easy, soon I stopped being nervous.

I decided I needed to tell her what I felt about her. If only it was so easy. I have never told a girl I liked her. Usually they're just good kissers and pretty blondes. Lily was…different. More relaxed around me. Other girls flutter their lashes. She was happy, and her happiness was contagious.

"Hey Lily, I need to tell you something."

"Ok James." She sounded concerned.

"Lets go somewhere…privately."

"Umm..ok."

I lead her out of the chaotic dinning hall.

"I really, really like you Lily." I mumbled.

She turned pale.

"Are you sure?"

"Never surer."

She gasped and gaped at me for some while. Then she ran away, gasping.

"No!" I heard her mutter as she went.

I buried my head into my hands. I blew it. Now we won't even be friends anymore. What did I do wrong? Her depressed face kept flashing in my head, and I went into my room, throwing my tie off. I could hear her crying in her room. I wanted to comfort her.

SHARRIE'S POV

Leonardo was very charming. He had a lot of etiquette, and his dancing was smooth. I could say proudly that he was better than Peter, at least in manners and looks. He slicked his hair back, and he was wearing black leather stuff.

Talking to him was great too. He talked about his likes, dislikes, and much more. To my surprise I found out that he liked dark arts.

"You do?"

"Yep."

"Why?"

"I suppose because my parents are Dea…" His voice trailed off.

I raised my eyebrows.

"Anyways…" He continued, "What to go do something?"

"Depends on what."

"Follow me."

He took me to a broom closet, and pounced on me. We started kissing. Wow, what a great kisser. He obviously had a lot of practice with this. Leonardo's hands were buried in my long hair. His tongue was searching around in my mouth. He was rough, very rough.
