Chapter 2

The next morning Lily decided to forget the night before. Pretend as though it hadn't happened. And focus on her date with Remus that night. It was 10 when she woke up. And before she had even gotten out of bed Casey was back it the room, giggling and talking a mile a minute. James had asked her out. After Casey had finally calmed down they went down to breakfast. After a few minutes someone taped Lily on the shoulder. It was James. "Hey Casey, Hi Lily. Cant wait for tonight. Casey would you find if I stole Lily for a minute I need to talk to a prefect, they have once again double booked the Quidditch pitch?" James asked smiling. Casey Blushed giggled and nodded. Lily got up and followed James. It wasn't until that they were by the lake that he stopped. "So are you going to tell me what you really wanted to talk about? I checked the schedule last night to make sure it wasn't double booked." Lily said, hands on her hips glaring. "I wanted to talk to you about last night, about what happened." James said. Once again his boyish grin had been replaced by a solemn stare. "Look, what happened last night was nothing, we were both really tired, and it didn't mean anything. Ok? You have a date tonight, with my best friend. Focus on that and just pretend last night didn't happen." Lily said turning to walk away. "I'll let you leave, but I have two things to say first. I'm only going out with Casey because you told me too. And last night did happen whether you want it to have or not." James said. Lily walked away not looking back. And true to his word James didn't go after her. And for once Lily was disappointed by this.

By 4 o'clock that night the girl's dormitory was in full crisis mode. Everyone was dashing to be ready by five. Lily had picked a strapless emerald colored dress. It was relatively pain, tight on the top and full and the bottom. The Jewelry was simple too, crystal studs. Casey's dress, as usual, was over the top. A slinky hot pink number that of course was covered in sparkles. And of course pink diamond jewelry to match. At five o'clock the girls went down to meet there dates in the common room. James wore a black suit and Remus a gray one. Though Remus was her date, and long time crush, it was James that she couldn't keep her eyes off of as she walked down the stairs. Lily was quickly brought back to reality when Remus said she looked nice and took her hand.

The great hall had its usual Halloween decorations. This included hundreds of jack o' lanterns, a band, and lots of round tables big enough for 10. They were quickly hailed to a table near the corner by Sirius. On his left arm he had a short blond haired girl. Lily immediately recognized her as a 5th year from Ravenclaw. Peter was once again dateless. To Lily's surprise it wasn't acward at all. The friends chatted, ate and finally danced. Casey was beaming the whole time. The only thing that was different was she wasn't at all excited to be going out with Remus. By 9 o'clock. Peter, Sirius and his date had left. They had taken a break from dancing, when a slow song came on. "Casey, Remus I hope you don't mind, but Lily promised me one dance." They shrugged. And for once Lily didn't bother to fight. The first thing that surprised Lily was it turned out James was a very good dancer. "So having a good time?" James quietly asked her. "Yes I am, Remus is very sweet. How about you?" Lily asked. James shrugged, "Casey's nice enough. Not as nice as you though." James said once again with a solemn look on his face. "I will say it again. We can't do this. It's not fair to Remus or Casey." Lily said using the voice she reprimanded 1st years in. "I thought we weren't doing anything? I guess that means something did happen last night." James said. Leaning in closer, he whispered in her ear, "If it did that would be a good thing" For a second Lily didn't move, but she quickly came to her senses and pulled away. "You can't do this. I don't know what's going. But I will not let this happen. I never felt anything for you before this, and it will just upset a lot of people." Lily said her voice shaking. "So you do feel something for me?" James said leaning in close once again. Lily had had enough, she pulled away, "I'm going to find my date, and I suggest you do the same." Lily walked off towards Remus, leaving James standing by himself on the dance floor. "Casey, James wants you to come dance with him." Casey smiled and walked off. "Remus I've had a lot of fun, but I didn't get a lot of sleep last night and I'm really tired. I think I'm going to go to bed, feel free to stay if you want." Lily said, smiling. "Thanks for coming with me Lily, I had a fun time. I think I'll hang out a bit more." He kissed her on her cheek and sat back down blushing. "Good-night Remus." Lily then left. But instead of heading for Gryfindor tower, she headed towards the library.
