A Tigerlily and a White Stag
They didn't see Sirius or Malfoy the rest of the day. They went to Honeydukes, Flourish and Blotts, Eeylops Owl Emporium, and James even managed to talk Lily into going to Zonko's.
It started raining lightly while they were walking back to the castle, but neither James nor Lily cared. Suddenly James stopped.
"Do you know how to swing dance?" he asked Lily, a mischevious gleam in his eye.
"Yeah, I do, but what-" She laughed. "Are you thinking what I think you are?"
"Only one way to find out," he said with a grin. "Want to dance, Lils?"
She laughed again, took his hands, and they started dancing. At first people just passed by, laughing and staring, but then Alice Payne and Frank Longbottom, two Hufflepuff sixth years and friends of Lily's, stopped too.
"Would you like to dance, Alice?" Frank asked as solemnly as he could manage. It wasn't easy- between the now steady rain, James humming the music he and Lily were dancing to, and Alice's giggling, Frank was having a hard time holding back his own laughter.
"I'd love to, Frank," Alice said between giggles.
A few more couple stopped to dance, but then the rain turned into a full-fledged storm complete with thunder and lightning, and everyone ran for the castle, laughing.
I had to have the swing dancing. :laughs: I learned this summer, and I love it... couldn't resist putting it in here. Since I'm posting this so soon after the second, I don't have any new reviews to reply to. Hold on... I forgot to reply to Lisa (zippyfox)'s request. Yes, Sirius and James will make up as soon as I figure out how to get them to. That's taking a while, so don't expect it in chapter four unless I suddenly get an idea (which is how White Stag ended... I was washing dishes and I thought of the ending... then ran to my laptop and wrote it down).
