Lily's Final Answer
Chapter 18 - The Dance
The week went by kind of slowly and homework began piling up for the student. Yet, that still didn't break the excitement of the dance that was to be held on Friday. Everyone was excited. It was Friday and everyone thought they needed to start getting ready as early as possible. Lily and James were in the Gryffindor's common room with their friends to get ready.
"So are you going to tell us who you and James are going to be?" Rosie asked.
"No." Lily responded.
She then thought it to be too hard to keep it a secret so she ran to the boy's dormitories, grabbed James and went back to their own common room to get ready by themselves.
It was now 6:30 and the heads and prefects needed to be there early to finish any last setting up. Lily and James went to the Great Hall and looked around at all of the decorations, it was all so beautiful. There were garlands of flowers everywhere, twinkling lights wrapped everywhere, fish bowls with floating candles in them, and a dance floor that looked as if it were in a garden of lilies, roses, daisies, and so much more.
It was 7:00 and the students began to arrive. There were many types of costumes that showed up. There were cows, vampires, chickens, stars, planets, and so much more. Rosie and Sirius were typical vampires, Elise and Remus were werewolves (go figure), and Skyler and Lothar were Barbie and Ken dolls. They all found each other and yet no one could figure out who James and Lily were. Finally, Elise, being a muggleborn, figured out who they were.
"OMIGOD! You two are Romeo and Juliet. Aww…that is SO romantic." Elise said.
"Who is that?" Remus asked.
"They are two people who loved each other enough to die for their love. It's SO romantic. I'll lend you the book to read it." Elise answered his question.
"Oh, ok." Remus said.
"Well, Miss Evans, would you like to take a walk with me outside?" James asked politely to Lily.
"Why, my good sir, I would love to accompany you outside." Lily replied.
They walked hand in hand outside and James sat Lily down in a gazebo. He looked like he had something really important to say.
"Lily, you know I love you with all of my heart right?" James asked.
"Yes, and you know I love you with all of my heart." Lily replied.
"I know this might seem, you know, kind of sudden, seeing as we've only been dating for just a little over a week now, but I feel like I've been with you for a whole life time now. So I wanted to know…" James pulled a small bundle from his pocket, "will you accept my promise ring? It is not an engagement ring; it is a promise ring that someday we will get married and start a whole new life together, as one." James finished.
"Oh my." Lily was stunned.
"…"
"James, it's beautiful. Of course I'll accept this ring. How could I not?" Lily stated.
James then put the ring on Lily's left hand ring finger. As he did this, the ring did something strange, it glowed a bright bright golden color. It then sent tingles up and down both James and Lily's backs. It meant, that they were, in a true, strong love binding relationship.
The night went by pretty quickly, and people started to leave. James and Lily walked together back to their common room.
They whispered "I love you." To one another and went to sleep.
