Time Heals Everything: Chapter 12

Disclaimer: J.K owns it all. 'Cept for Sara and Meg, and various other characters, that belong to me.

Well, well, well. This is it…the ball. Its hard to write this and make it seem realistic, so if I have some Muggle/Magic mistakes, its not my fault. Although if you would be dear enough to point them out, I would be forever grateful and in your debt. This is going to be a nice, long chapter. Its mostly going to be about Meg. I don't know why, but I felt like doing something on her. I'll do Sara in later chapters, when the 'werewolf' issue comes up.

By the way, check out cause that's mine and my friend Kayna's account. There are two stories up on that account right now, both with one chapter each. Check those out, and don't forget to review! Thanks!

And check out BloodyPenhand … they're great stories! Talented author, wonderful stories. Check those out and leave a review. Please?

P.S. I got a review saying that I mixed up Meg and Sara in the last chapter…lol it wasn't a mistake. I had the girls switch roles on purpose. Thanks for pointing it out though. I'm sorry you didn't get to revel in your glory…as it wasn't a mistake.

Review!

What happened last:

The guys also changed, first James, then Sirius, and lastly Remus. Lily had to say…James looked pretty hot. She sighed. She didn't even try to stop these thoughts now. She knew it would be impossible. She, Lily Evans, was finally falling for James Potter. And he knew it.

Lily stood patiently, next to James at the entrance of Hogwarts. They were waiting for their friends, and it was taking a while for them to come. Finally, 15 minutes later, Meg, Sara, Sirius and Remus came walking out of the doors, casually approaching the 2 Head Students.

As they approached, Lily saw that they seemed to be walking in a group, but Remus and Sara were walking together in front, and Sirius and Meg were awkwardly trying to make conversation, behind. Well, Lily thought amusedly, staring at Sirius and Megan, as she watched Meg stalk off.

She shook her head, and joined Meg, hoping to pry details out of her later. Sirius and James started a conversation, and strode ahead of the group. Remus and Sara were walking in the middle, whispering quietly about something, their heads close together.

She and Meg talked, and when finally the conversation drifted to Sirius and James, Lily saw that they had reached the Great Hall and therefore, to Lily's grief, the conversation ended.

They entered the Great Hall, which suddenly went silent. Lily didn't care. It was probably cause of the Marauders anyway. She held her head up high as she entered, while her green eyes frantically searched for her friends.

Lily joined Meg and Sara in the corner, and they stood laughing, and talking. They had a brief chat, before Dumbledore introduced James and Lily to Hogwarts, for the opening dance.

Lily pushed her way out of the crowd to where James was waiting. She was surprised; he wasn't smirking or anything. He had a simple grin on his face, as he took Lily in his arms.

The slow music started, and Lily's thoughts cleared. There was nothing going on in her mind, as she moved in James' arms.

"This is where I belong. This is where I want to be."

Lily saw James' face go blank, and he looked at her strangely. It was then that she realized she had said that out loud.

She hastily let out something between a cough and a snort, and quickly said,

"I was talking about the dance. Don't flatter yourself."

The song struck its last note, and with that, Lily stomped off. Well, she couldn't have James thinking things, now could she?

She joined Meg and Sara. Meg was looking annoyed. She had a large amount of punch sitting beside her, and with a glance at Sara, Lily knew it had come from him.

Nicky Richardson.

One of the hottest guys of Hogwarts, and now he had his eye on Meg. Lily could tell, with all that punch, it had to mean something.

Meg was falling for him, fast. He had jet-black hair, that sexily fell over his eyes, a killer pout, handsome brown eyes that revealed his mood…Nicky was one of the Hogwarts Most Wanted Bachelors. He was up there with James Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin.

Meg hated him right now…but Lily knew she'd be squealing over him later when they went up to the dormitories to talk. Lily was sleeping over, so they were having a slumber party.

Lily saw Nicky strut to Meg again…Lily watched in fascination as Nicky handed Meg a paper cup. Meg smiled, and drank some. Satisfied, Nicky walked away.

As soon as he was gone, Meg hid it behind the flowerpot. Lily saw that there were 11 other paper cups, behind the plant.

She gave Meg a curious look, before turning around to get some punch for herself. Lily saw Sirius standing with James, but he was watching Meg intently, and when he saw Nicky come with more punch, something passed over his face. His playful grey eyes turned stony.

Meg caught his eye, and quickly turned away, with a haughty toss of her pretty hair. Sirius lowered his head, and started talking to Remus about something.

It was almost midnight, and Meg broke away from her friends. She walked outside, alone. She stood alone it thought, when someone approached her.

"Nicky! What are you doing here?"

"I brought you my cloak. Its chilly out here…"

"Aww…how sweet…"

Nicky leaned in to kiss her, but Meg's hand shot up to slap him.

"Not that fast. We're not dating. Get the fuck away from me."

Nicky smiled.

"Well of course, I'm sorry. I'll ask you next time. But that's not why I'm here. I came here to ask you something."

"What?"

"Do you wanna be my girlfriend?"

Meg stopped smiling. She pursed her head in thought, before carefully replying.

"I'll think about it."

"Okay. That's good enough for me. I'll see you later…I have to go now."

The girls joined the boys at the Gryffindor Common Room. They were alone, as everyone else was sleeping.

Remus and Sara sat together on the loveseat, laughing about something only they knew about.

Meg sat on the ground in front on the fire, deep in thought about something.

Lily was sitting in a chair, and Sirius and James were sprawled over the couch.

They chatted for 10 minutes, till Meg spoke up.

"I think we should go now, our slumber party still has to happen."

Lily nodded, and Sara looked up. The three girls started for their dormitories, but James said,

"Hey…I have an idea! Why don't we all have the slumber party together! You girls can bring your sleeping bags and sleep on the ground. We can have fun before me and Lily have to leave for the Leaky Cauldron tomorrow."

Meg shook her head. "Slumber parties are for girls. And why do we have to sleep on the floor?"

Sirius laughed. "There is no rule that guys can't come to slumber parties. And you girls can have our beds and we'll sleep on the floor, if it makes u feel better."

Sara nodded. Remus nodded too. James replied cheerily, "Well, its settled then."

"Wait a minute. I haven't had my say yet."

"Yes, Lily flower. Tell us what you think."

"Don't call me that. And, I think it's a great idea. I've never been to a slumber party with a guy before."

Remus laughed. "Okay, you girls go get your stuff. Meet us in the guys' dormitories."

"Why there?", Sara asked.

"Cause the guys can't get into the girls' dormitories. Duhh!" That was Meg.

They sat in a circle in the boys dormitory, playing truth or dare. It was Lily's turn to ask someone.

"Meg."

They all shifted to get a better look at Meg.

"Okay…so what was Nicky talking to you about outside? I saw him go outside after you."

Meg turned away and sighed.

"Well…"

And she repeated their conversation.

"He asked you OUT!" Sara screamed.

"What did you SAY!" Lily yelled.

The boys were reasonably quiet, and watched Meg amiably. It was well known, that Nicky Richardson and Sirius Black had been enemies forever.

"Yes, he asked me out, and I told him I'd think about it. And I have."

"Well," asked Sara impatiently, "what are u going to say?"

"I'm saying yes."
