Flashback on previous chapter.
Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling owns lots and lots and lots, and I own and Tracey and the tiara.
James's POV
SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! SHE LIKES ME! My head was whirling. I was so happy, but something was wrong.
I gasped. "Oh no!"
Sirius's POV
Moony and I finally realized, but when we got there, we saw Prongs sprinting the other way with a wet patch on his pants.
Chapter 5. The Kris Kringle.
"Prooooooooongs! You've got to stay still." Sirius whined, frustrated.
"Oh my," James said in mock imitation of McGonagall, "Did it just whine?"
Sirius went a dark shade of red. "Fine do your own necktie," he said offering it to James.
"Noooooooooo! Not the necktie!" James shrieked.
"OK, OK," Sirius grinned, "You're acting like you're getting married or something!"
"I feel like I am," answered James gloomily.
20 minutes and 5 more necktie threats later…
James nervously went down to the Gryffindor common room. The room hushed as they saw the love that passed between two sets of eyes.
Lily's POV
James came down the staircase looking stunning in a Black Tux Robes, or whatever they're called. My knees went all wobbly and I saw him shoot admiring glances at me.
James's POV
Lily. Is. Drop. Dead. Gorgeous.
My heart stopped as she looked at me. She was dressed in a brilliant emerald green ball gown. Her amazing hair had green streaks, and when I reached her, I was met with a cloud of expensive scent.
"Shall we?" I asked offering my arm.
"Of course," she replied fluttering her eyelashes.
My heart started doing a crazy tango with my stomach.
Third POV
James and Lily walked down to the great hall. As they took their places, Dumbledore came onstage.
"Ahem, welcome all to the annual Kris Kringle," He began, "I have a few important announcements. First of all, there has been a breakout from the Department of Mysteries. The Ministry of Magic don't know what it is, only that it is vital to keep it locked up. Second, on a more cheerful note Merry Christmas. At the moment, house elves are giving out the Hogwarts presents in the Kris Kringle tradition. As you all know, Hogwarts buys each of you a present with the school funds. Last, and most important, enjoy!"
At that, babbling broke out in the Great Hall.
"Look!" someone shrieked. Everyone turned. House elves were pouring in from every side, beaming delightedly with presents in hand.
"Mister James Potter?" squeaked a particularly small house elf carrying a huge parcel. James thanked the house elf and tore the parcel open.
Silence overtook the Gryffindor table. "Wow," breathed James. There, in all its splendor was a Nimbus 1999, the latest model. A huge grin spread over James's face.
"YES!" he whooped.
Sirius clapped James on the back and showed him what he'd got. Two brand new beater's clubs set in diamond designed to make it never crack, dent or flaw in any way.
"o.mi.gosh." Lily best friend Tracey said. Jaw dropping lower with every syllable.
"Hey Lils! What did you get?" called Sirius.
Lily wordlessly showed them a gemmed tiara filled with color in everyplace the eye could see.
"By the Valar," James whispered.
"Try it on!" called someone.
Slowly, trembling, Lily put it on, and transformed into James.
James gawked at the identical replica of himself.
"Turn into me," Sirius demanded suddenly.
Soundlessly, the James turned into a Sirius.
"Now make him wear a pink bikini!" James cried.
The replica of Sirius suddenly wore nothing but a pink bikini.
"Take it off!" cried Sirius amid hoots of laughter and swooning girls.
Immediately, Lily transformed back into Lily with the tiara in her hands.
Tracey was about to say something but she was cut off when Dumbledore stood up again.
"The house elf chief, Noddy, informed me that they enjoyed giving out the presents immensely." Dumbledore spoke out, blue eyes twinkling, "They can't wait to do it next year. Now, no Ball is complete without dancing!
As he spoke, the lights dimmed and a slow dance started.
"May I have this dance?" James asked Lily while Sirius did the same to Tracey. The only girl who thought he had a too big ego. Surprisingly, she accepted.
James held tight to Lily as they moved. She planted a kiss on his neck. James nuzzled his head into her hair and knew it couldn't get any better than this.
