"What?" Laughed Kerkera. Sirius had come up to see her in the afternoon, saying he had something he needed to talk to her about something. He had called Remus in too and had locked the door.

"It'll never work," sighed Remus, "I mean, this has to be so well planned,"

"Just get the posters up and get people to come," smiled Sirius, "I'll go with Kerri, you find someone to take, and then James and Lily will have to go together!"

"I think it's a great idea," beamed Kerri, "At least it means we'll all have fun!"

"Thanks babe," smiled Sirius, putting his arm round her,

"You might," sighed Remus, "I hate those things,"

"Cheer up," laughed Sirius, "It won't be that bad!"

"You don't know," Remus shuddered at remembering his past.

"Kerri, you ok to get up?"

"Yeah," she said happily, "I'll make the posters and arrange the thingies and be on my way,"

"Do you need a hand?" both boys asked at once,

"Oh," said Kerri, slightly shocked by the gesture, "Umm…if that's ok?"

"Sure thing," said Sirius.

Next day;

"Lily!" shouted Kerri, running into Lily's room, "There's a party going on at the town Hall! It's supposed to be real good! Everyone's going! Sirius and I are going together, I think Remus is going with some girl he met at the park, how about you?"

"Urh," said Lily, taken aback by the sudden wave of information so early in the day, "I dunno,"

"Come on," smirked Kerri, "There's gotta be someone who doesn't have anyone to go with,"

Downstairs;

James, Sirius and Remus where having the same conversation.

"So this was the big plan ay?" sighed James, "It'll never work,"

"Big plan?" said Sirius, a little O.T.T, "What plan?"

"You planned this, right?" said James,

"No!" retaliated Sirius, glancing at Remus. They both knew this would work a lot better without James knowing the truth. It would all be natural.

"But I haven't got anyone to go with," sighed James, "What the point in going?"

"I bagsie Kerri!" said Sirius, putting his hand in the air.

"Have you asked Lily, she might be free?" suggested Remus.

James raised a slick eyebrow, "What, and risk the pain and rejection, the painful slap and then watching her dancing with some two faced git? No way! I'm not going!"

"Come on mate," sighed Sirius, "You say you've already ruined your chances with her so what have you got to lose?"

"My pride, dignity and self respect," sighed James, again, he was in a sighing mood.

"I stand by my first comment," smirked Sirius, earning himself a punch in the side.

Upstairs;

"I'm not worried about that," said Lily, brushing her hair in the dressing table mirror, "I just don't think I'll go,"

"Why not," moaned Kerri, "Come on! For me?"

"I'm not coming, and don't do the trembly lip at me!"

Kerri stopped, but continued to stare at Lily with her brown puppy dog eyes, "For meeee?"

"For god sake!" groaned Lily, pushing Kerri away.

"Pretty please?" begged Kerri.

"Kerri you're breaking my heart." Moaned Lily.

"I know," whimpered Kerri "Isn't it awesome?"

"Fine! I'll come!"

"Yay! Oh," said Kerri as thought the thought had just accured to her, "But you'll need someone to go with. I bags Sirius!" she said putting her hand in the air,

"Why?" asked Lily.

" Cos I like him," said Kerri simply.

"Not Sirius!" Laughed Lily, whacking Kerri on the arm with her hairbrush, "Why do I have to go with someone?"

"Cos if you don't everyone will think you're a Larry," said Kerri as though Lily had a lack of logic.

"A what?"

"A Larry, someone without any friends, a loner,"

"Oh," said Lily. Caring about what other thought of her, Lily didn't want to appear as a Larry. "Umm…who should I go with?"

"Is James free?" said Kerri simply. Lily gave her the death glare of doom.

"Oh come on," pleaded Kerri, "I need you there! And it's as if you have to do anything, I mean, you just have to arrive together." Said Kerri, before whispering to herself, "And dance together,"

"What was that?" asked Lily, looking at herself in the mirror,

"Uhh…just wondering what I'm gonna wear," said Kerkera quickly, "How 'bout you?"

"I don't know," sighed Lily, "Well I guess I better go talk to James,"

"James?"

"Yeah whatcha wan-, Lily!" said James looking up from the kitchen table. He'd been sitting there for quite a while on his own cos Sirius and Remus had headed into the village to take care of something.

"Umm… I was just wondering," started Lily, I can't believe I've sunk this low, "Ur, are you going to the party?"

"Yeah I guess so," he sighed. Hang on, is she…maybe? He looked at her. Her emerald eyes were confused, like the emotions inside them were jumbled, without any order.

"Umm,"

"Yeah,"

They looked at each other, guessing what the other wanted.

"Just for tonight," started Lily,

"Yeah, totally," nodded James,

"And it means nothing, just me going with you for Kerri," said Lily, looking away from him. James paused, not knowing what to say. He wanted to say that he wanted it to mean everything, but if he said that he probably would never see daylight again. This was his one chance he didn't want to blow it.

"Yeah," he said finally. Lily felt a weird pang inside her. Was she disappointed? She couldn't tell.

"Good," she said after a pause, "Right,"

"Yeah," sighed James again,

"See you later," said Lily, walking back upstairs, the feeling still in her chest.

That night;

Kerri and Lily were running about in Lily's room, sorting out what they were gonna wear. Kerri was wearing white combat trousers and a very small black top that showed off her hourglass figure and good curves. Lily had gone for a black dress that cut at an angle just above her knees and sloped downwards and had about two rows of frills on the bottom and on the shoulders. They both look fantastic. They were gonna rock the joint, but this was Lily's night, she just didn't know it. They went downstairs to meet the boys. They were all wearing half buttoned white shirts and slightly tight jeans. Even Lily had to admit they looked hot. You could clearly see all their six-packs. James and Sirius' hair were both scruffy but for some reason it looked too scruffy to be an accident. Even Remus looked hot, his blond hair hanging over one eye.

"Well hello ladies," smirked Sirius, offering his arm to Kerri, "Don't you girls look hot,"

"Ain't that top a bit small?" smirked James, offering Lily his arm. Kerri blushed. Lily stared at James arm then took it, a little reluctant.

"Shall we get going?" suggested Remus, opening the door to the couples.

"Remus," said Lily, "Who are you going with?"

"I was meant to find someone to go with?" said Remus, a bit shocked.

"Well," smiled Kerri, exchanging a looking with Lily, "You don't want to be a Larry do you?"

"A what?" asked Remus, looking confused.

"Never mind," laughed Kerri as they headed down the street to the party.

"Come on!" laughed Kerri, "Lets go dance!"

"Ok!" said Sirius. Kerri had been trained in dancing. They could all remember back in the fourth year Gryffindor had had a party to celebrate winning the Quidditch cup. She had learnt to pole dance in Japan. That was a goooood night thought James, it got even better when Lily drank too much and joined in. James could feel himself being turned on and quickly erased those thoughts. He took Lily's arm lightly and they all walked into the Hall. The place was a rush of colour and the sound system was on full. In the centre of the dance floor they could already see Kerri and Sirius strutting their stuff, a mass of people surrounding them.

"So," said Lily,

"Yeah," said James, looking at her. They sat with Remus at an empty table. Girls soon surrounded it, all showing a large amount of interest in the nervous Remus. Lily and James smirked inwardly as he stared at the blonde with the double Ds.

"Go for her Moony," whispered James, nudging him in the side.

"Urr, 'kay"

Lily and James watched as Remus started to do a really, really bad dance routine. The girls seemed to like it, as they all started to touch him in all the wrong places.

"You go Moony!" laughed James. They sat in silence, just watching the others dance. Finally Lily said that she needed the toilet and Sirius came over to talk to James.

"You just gotta go for it Prongs," smiled Sirius, punching him in the arm playfully.

"I'm just…really nervous," sighed James, "I can't muck it up again."

"Well, look at it this way," suggested Sirius, "When the slow dance is over, they'll probably be serving dinner,"

"Ooh," said James, going off into a dream world,

"Still nervous?" asked Sirius,

"I'm gonna have the lasagne," nodded James.

"Yeah, you do that," laughed Sirius, Kerri came over, looking expectant, "Look mate I gotta go, good luck!"

"Yeah, good luck James!" smiled Kerri, pulling Sirius back onto the dance floor. Sirius bowed to Kerkera and then suddenly spun her into his chest. James smiled as Kerri turned a slight redish tint, but was taken by surprise when she did an upwards body roll, purposely meant to get Sirius excited. Watching Kerkera suddenly becoming extremely flirtatious made James wonder, would Lily dance like that with him? And that was when he switched off into dreamland. Sooo many Lily's.

"James," said a whisper. He felt himself being pulled back into reality. Lily was standing in front of him. The song had finished and the D.j was just sorting out the next song.

"He said it'll be a slow one," smiled Lily, nodding towards the D.j, "and Kerri's insisting I dance at least once,"

"With me?" smiled James, feeling some weird bubble swell in his chest,

"I guess, Remus is being swallowed up by that girl with the huge chest, not that I was looking!"

James smiled. Lily had made a joke!

"Well, there a first time for everything," he smiled to himself. "Come on then!"

He stood up and offered her is hand. Lily took it nervously. It was weird, the feeling she couldn't describe.

The music started; it was a slow, romantic song.

I can't believe you're here with me,

And now it seems my worlds complete,

And I never want this moment to end.

James spun Lily round slowly on the spot,

I close my eyes and still I see,

My dreams become reality,

And now I know, how it feels, to be in love,

Lily looked up at James. Maybe it was just her, but he seemed extremely cute. Why had she never noticed?

"I love this song," she whispered.

"I know the words," smiled James, then he started to whisper the song in her ear,

"I prayed so many nights that you would come my way,

An angel from above,

To light my darkest day,

I think it's time for you to heed these lines,

Cos there's something I wanna say,"

Suddenly, James spun lily out and pulled her back, so that she now had her back pressed u against his chest,

"I've finally found what I've been looking for,

And now you know I'm gonna love you more,

Holdin' you tight, it's always been you.

To think that you were always there,

To be my friend and wipe away my tears,

Now it's clear, that it's always been you,"

Lily turned to look at him. His eyes were filled with an emotion that she could not describe. Holding her gaze, James bent his head and delivered a small, sweet kiss on her lips. He knew he was taking a risk, but well he's a guy! But to his surprise, Lily didn't pull away. Her eyes fluttered shut and she sighed. When they parted James saw that Lily was glowing with something radiant.

"Wanna take this back home?" he said.

"Oh James I'm not…"

"Shh, don't worry," smiled James, "Nothing will happen. Les just get away from the crowd,"

Lily nodded and James took her hand. For some reason this all seemed to have gone to easily.
