Chapter nine
"Go and dance," Sirius insisted.
It was halfway through the ball, and Lily and James hadn't danced yet.
"No." James retorted.
"Yes! Come on," Lily put on the puppy dog eyes, and stuck out her lower lip.
James blushed and laughed nervously, before allowing himself to be led to the dance floor. The couple began dancing, and Lily was surprised to find that James was actually a pretty good dancer. She was brought back from her thoughts (about James) by the sound of James' voice.
"You, umm. You look really beautiful tonight."
Lily smiled, and replied, "You don't look too bad yourself!"
James smiled and leaned in towards Lily, but before he could kiss her, a loud "pop" reached his ears. They broke away from each other to find its source. There stood Snape, wearing a nothing but a red tutu, and gold ballet shoes!
"What in the na-" Lily never finished her sentence, as just then, the song changed, and Snape began dancing, executing perfect whirls and balances.
The crowd parted to watch the spectacle. Yvonne, Sirius, and Remus came up behind them.
Yvonne had doubled over with laughter. "Did you guys." She didn't manage any more before she burst out laughing again.
"Yep." Sirius confirmed proudly.
"Was this the prank you've been planning all this time?" Lily demanded.
"Yeah. Pretty good, isn't it?" Asked James.
"No. I think it is mean, and immature. Good night!" Snapped Lily, before sweeping out of the hall.
"I should go after her," sighed Yvonne. "Thanks for a lovely night Remus. And, guys? That was a great prank, no matter what Lily says." Yvonne then exited the hall, and Leanne, Alison, and Paula surrounded the Marauders.
"Oh, James! I saw what you did, that was just amazing!" Leanne squealed, whilst batting her eyelashes at James.
"Would you like to dance?" She asked, and, without waiting for his reply, pulled him out onto the dance floor.
It was midnight by the time the ball had finished, and the three boys headed back to the Gryffindor common room. They would have much rather had left straight after Lily and Yvonne had, but, being the most lusted after boys in their year, they had been forced to stay. (Sploogal: The Garden Gnome's gonna kill me for putting that last bit in! *giggles maliciously*)
They were about to climb the stairs to the boys' dorm, when they were stopped by the girls.
"Oh, Jamsie," (James grimaced. He hated being called that!) "Don't I get a good-night kiss from my handsome prince?" Leanne asked.
"Yeah, and what about me, Remy-poo?" Alison cooed.
Remus and James had had just enough time to exchange horrified glances, when Yvonne cut in to save them.
"Excuse me, ladies," she said. "As I understand, they were our dates." She turned her back on the other girls. "Good night Remus, and, thanks again. Good night guys!"
Lily glared at Leanne, and forced herself to kiss James on the cheek, and then whispered in his ear, "Get over yourself. You've done better pranks than that!"
She and Yvonne headed up to their dorm. The boys, also, went to their own dorm.
"Good Gryffindor!" James shuddered. "I thought I was actually going to have to kiss Leanne!"
"Great Merlin, James! I am trying to sleep! Are you trying to give me nightmares, or something?" Hissed Sirius.
"Like you, Sirius, I am trying to get some sleep. I cannot do that while you two are talking!" Yelled Remus.
A/N: Sploogal: The next chappie will be longer, we promise! Hehe. Goldfishy. Garden Gnome: What did I say about that? Sploogal: Absolutely nothing! Garden Gnome: Well, that's true, but you know better! Sploogal: No I don't! What hole did you just crawl out of? Garden Gnome: You have a point. Just tell them to R/R, k? Sploogal: Fine. *pause* Garden Gnome: Well? Sploogal: *sulkily* R/R ppls. Garden Gnome: Properly. Sploogal: *angrily* R/R PPLS! Garden Gnome: *coughs* Sploogal: I don't answer to coughs. Garden Gnome: Well, you bloody well should! Sploogal: Fair dinkum. Please R/R, because otherwise we get sad, and we stop writing. Got it? Garden Gnome: Well, I suppose that was a little more mature. Sploogal: And now, you have to say your bit. *evil grin* Garden Gnome: Glad to. *pause* *WHACK* Garden Gnome: Ok ok! Many thanks to the person who reviewed. Sorry, I've temporarily misplaced your name. Sploogal: Typical. Garden Gnome: Oh, well I spose I'd better tell the truth. Sploogal lost it. Sploogal: Thanks Gnome! Garden Gnome: Well, it's true! Sploogal: Good point. Sorry person who reviewed, we will find your name, and have it up ASAP!
