A Little Change of Heart and Laughing
It's been about a month since that awful sugar high. James and I have to plan the Halloween Ball. HMMMMM! Ok here comes James. We planned to meet in our Heads common room and start planning.
"Ok Potter. Lets get straight to business, no messing around." I state flatly and pull out parchment and a quill. I look up and James is standing there looking furious. What?
"What?" Ok, obviously not the right question. Uh oh. He is not a happy camper.
"Listen Evans. I'm sick of you constantly degrading me. I try to be nice to you and you flip out and start yelling at me for no reason!" He raised his voice but didn't yell. Wow, I never knew he felt that way.
"You're right." I say simply. He looks dumbstruck.
"Oh and James, it's not polite to stare. Close your mouth." His jaw snapped shut and he looked down. He takes the seat across from me and we begin planning.
"What do you think of a masquerade ball?" I suggest. He shakes his head.
"We've had too many of those. How about a costume ball?" Nope.
"We have to think of something really original." I state flatly and he nods. We think for a moment.
"Hey! How about a muggle ball?" James jumped up enthusiastically knocking his chair over. I stifle a laugh and nod.
"I think that's the perfect idea. We'll need a band, food, obviously food, and we need to make sure it's fine with Dumbledore and then announce it." James nods and we gather our stuff. I flip my now short hair out of my face and drop my things in my room and come out a moment later. James is waiting for me.
"We gonna ask Dumbledore now?" I question and he nods. I shrug and he holds out his arm. He's got a silly grin all over his face. I can't help but giggle. I slip my arm through his and we skip out of the common room laughing and joking.
This is so much fun. I never thought I'd say it but James is really beginning to grow on me. NO!!!!
"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!" I scream as we loose our balance at the top of a flight of stairs. We tumble down and I land on James at the bottom. I look at him and he looks a bit scared like I'm gonna yell at him or something. I sit up and laugh. I'm laughing so hard there are tears. James is gave me a weird look and then bursts out laughing too. If someone were to walk by at that exact moment they would have thought us crazy. Two teenagers, sitting at the bottom of some stairs, laughing their heads off. James stands up and reaches his hand out to me.
"Thank you." I say and grasp his hand. He pulls me up and I stumble into him. We stand there for a moment then I jump back.
"We better get to Dumbledore's office. It's almost eight and we have to be in our rooms at ten." I say and we continue to walk and laugh and joke around. He's telling me about a prank he's planning on Snape. I start to laugh and he gives me another of his weird looks.
"What? I like pranks, just not on me." He's still looking at me but now he looks stunned. I repeat myself. "I like pranks. Is that really that hard to grasp?" He's laughing at me! I give him a quizzical look and he laughs harder. Finally he stops laughing and we're standing in front of the gargoyle leading to Dumbledore's office.
"Pixie Sticks," James says and the gargoyle jumps aside and we step onto he moving stairs. "I was laughing because you're usually getting mad at me for pranks and now your laughing." I nod my head it makes sense really. I'm about to knock on the door when Dumbledore calls us in.
"What can I do for my two Head students?" He smiled with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Well, we came up with an idea for the Halloween Ball. James and I think it would be nice to have a muggle ball." I say. I hope he likes our idea. Dumbledore is nodding his head slightly and I glance at James. He looked away from me; I think he had been staring at me. A faint blush arose from my cheeks and I stare at the ground. You know, I think that I may like James. As a friend of course, but still. He's really nice and funny and stuff. Dumbledore interrupted my thoughts.
"I think it would be a marvelous idea. Would you two do me a favor and run down to Hagrid's hut?" James and I nod and Dumledore continues. "Would you tell him that I would like to speak with him tonight if at all possible?" We nod again and turn to leave.
As we walk across the dark grounds towards the small hut off in the distance I get a creepy feeling. Okay, I am so not scared. What was that? There was a sound coming from the bushes! Okay, maybe I am a tad scared.
"Evans! Let go of my arm! Your cutting of curculation!" James sayd loudly. I nervously laugh and apologize, letting go of his arm. Almost there, almost there, I'm not scared! I'm brave, that's why I was put in Gryffindor! Maybe they made a mistake, no, I am not scared! HOLY CRAP! WHAT WAS THAT?!?!?! I race across the grass and pound on Hagrid's door.
"'Ello?" I hear Hagrid's big booming voice coming from inside. "Hagrid, it's Lily! Dumbledore sent James and me to fetch you so he could speak with you." I yell through the door and Hagrid opens it.
"Where's James?" he asks and looks behind me. I turn and see a dot coming across the grass. I laugh lightly and turn back to Hagrid.
"I got scared and ran the rest of the way here." I turn red and look down at my shoes. "Well, 'at's ok. We c'n walk back together if it'll make yer feel any better." I nod and we set out towards James.
When we finally caught up with him James looked at me and grinned. I think he's laughing at me but I can't tell. It's really dark. Oh look. We're at the front doors. That went by quickly.
Hagrid bid us goodnight and James and I headed up to out dorm rooms. I glance sideways and see a weirdlook on James' fae. It looslike he's trying really hard not to laugh. I wonder why.
"What?" I turn and ask him.
"Nothing," he iso laughin, "you're scared of he dark?" he bursts out laughing. That was rude. I whack him in the back of the head and walk quickly to my room. JERK!
