Chapter 8—Happy Valentine's Day, Lily
"Lils, James wants to know if 10:00 okay for Hogmeade." Shelley told her.
"Sure." Shelley nodded.
"IT'S OKAY!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, making Lily let out a shriek of shock. Shelley laughed.
"OKAY!" James yelled back. Lily figured everyone in the common room flinched.
"C'mon, let's go down to the common room." Lily said and walked out.
"Hey." She said but tripped on the couch, flew up and actually did a flip over it, landing neatly on the cushion.
"Woa." She said, flipping her hair back because it was in her face. James, Sirius, and Remus looked quite impressed.
"Nice one Lily." Sirius laughed. Lily grinned and looked at James.
"10 is fine...Saturday, right?" Lily told him.
"Yeah." He said, nodding his head.
"Oh shoot! James we have the meeting!" Lily remembered. James stood up.
"Oh yeah! C'mon!" He said.
"Be back later!" Lily yelled as she dashed out of the portrait. They ran...down the hall, down to flights of stairs, through another hall, up a different flight of stairs and finally stopped at McGonagall's classroom, slightly out of breath. They opened the door and saw the prefects waiting for them.
"Sorry, we forgot." James explained. It was only then he realized he was just wearing jeans and a t-shirt that said 'I didn't do it'. Lily also realized she was wearing soft and baggy pajama pants that she loved but only wore in the common room. She didn't look bad in them, but it wasn't something you wore at school. Plus, everyone was wearing their robes. Lily noticed the guys looking at her. She put on an 'I'm a seventh year so don't mess with me' expression. she cleared her throat.
"Um, anyway, we here to talk about the Valentines Day ball in two days." Lily started.
"Yeah, you don't have to wear robes, but sensible clothing." James added.
"We already decided on music and food at the last meeting so we just need decorations." Lily told them.
"How about balloons and falling paper hearts from the ceiling?" A Hufflepuff suggested.
"I like that, what do you guys think?" Lily replied. Everyone except the Slytherins raised their hands.
"Okay, so we'll do that. See you later." James said and watched them get up and go.
"Do you want to go to the ball too?" He asked Lily.
"Okay." She smiled and he grinned back. They walked back to the common room.
"Cool pants, Lily." James joked.
"Thanks." She laughed.
"Well, how was the meeting?" Sirius played.
"Boring." James fell down on the couch.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Lily straightened her red turtleneck sweater and looked at her jeans again. She seemed to be wearing sweaters and jeans a lot, but she loved it. Besides, a lot of the guys like it too, which made Lily laugh. She walked to the entrance hall and saw James waiting for her.
"Hey." She smiled at him.
"Hey. Here this is for you." He handed her a red rose that matched her sweater. He placed it in her hair.
"Thanks." She said and he grinned. They walked into the cold Hogsmeade village.
"Do you want a butterbeer?" James asked her.
"Sure." She sat at a booth in Three Broomstick and he came back shortly with too warm butterbeers and a plate of chocolates. Lily ate a delicious chocolate.
"Thank you." She smiled. James seemed a lot different than 1st through 6th year. Snow started falling lightly, making the mood perfect. They sipped their drinks and ate the chocolates happily.
"I'm glad you came, Lily." James told her.
"Me too. Besides, you have been an awesome help to me." Lily told him.
"I'm also glad you aren't depressed anymore." James said with raised eyebrows. Lily laughed.
"Me too. I still miss him though."
"You always will. We all will. Besides, did you ever think Jacob would've wanted you to be that sad?" James asked her.
"You're right. He would've wanted me to be happy. I never thought about that before." Lily admitted.
"Well, you know now." James looked at her and she smiled.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"How do I look?" Shelley came in. She had on a pretty light pink dress. The top was a tube top (no sleeves or straps) and a slightly poofy skirt. She looked amazing.
"Of course. What about me?" Lily was wearing a darker pink dress that had think spaghetti straps. The skirt park was like Shelley's and it looked awesome on Lily too. They left the room and Sirius and James were down in the common room, wearing black dress pants, white button down shirt and red ties. (Sirius and Shelley were going to the ball together)
"You look amazing, Lily." James said, extending a hand.
"Thank you." She said, taking it and smiling.
"You too Shelley." Sirius took her hand and kissed it then interlocking their fingers as they walked to the great hall. It looked really pretty. There was great music, red, white and pink balloons. Little red paper hearts were falling from the ceiling but stopping about 7 feet from the ground.
"Care to dance?" James asked her. Lily laughed and followed him to the dance floor. A sweet slow song came on but they still danced anyway. Shelley and Sirius soon joined them and Remus was dancing with a Hufflepuff girl.
A few hours later, the four friends and Remus sat at a table in the back, watching the snow fall and drinking punch. James disappeared and came back with a small plate of brownies. Sirius hungrily grabbed one and devoured it, making the girls look with disgust, but still eating one anyway.
"You guys did an awesome time planning this." Shelley told Lily and James.
"Thanks, even though it wasn't too hard. It was fun though." Lily told her best friend. Shelley smiled and sipped her punch.
"It's a lot of fun." She said when she swallowed.
The dance finally ended and everyone went back to the common rooms. Lily and James walked to their room.
"Did you have fun?" James asked her.
"Yeah, the whole day was fun." Lily smiled at him.
"Good." James said. Lily looked up at him and he gazed into her eyes.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Lily." He said, pressing his lips upon her strawberry sweet ones.
