Chapter 22 – Getting to Know Him
"Mmmm, I must say, you certainly know your way about here!" Ale said as he grinned. The two were now sitting under a tree near the lake, with a basket full of delicious cakes and other sweets, eating.
"When your dad is a Potter, and you're related to the Weasleys, you can't help knowing this place!" she said casually as she waved her hand in the direction of the castle.
"I agree."
"So," she started curiously, "Are you muggle-born?"
"Um, well you see… I'm an orphan!" he said as he turned red.
"Oh I'm sorry!" Lily said, as she smiled and grabbed his hand.
"It's ok! Most people know about it!" he said as he grinned again just like before. Lily felt relieved, and he asked, "So you seemed to be in a bad mood before we talked earlier. May I know why?"
"Well… ok! You see, my bestfriend, whom I thought was going to ask me for the Ball, had just asked another girl from one of his classes, and so I was a bit angry!"
"Oh," he muttered. He had not known that she had wanted to go to a ball with someone else.
"But don't worry!" she said as though she read his mind, "I'm much happier now that I'm going with you than with him anyway! Really!"
Alejandro just smiled.

"Where were you?" Kevin asked as he saw Lily enter the Common Room. Behind her had just appeared Ale.
"Hello you too! I'm fine! Thanks for asking!" she snapped.
"Whoa! What's wrong with you?" he asked as he stood up and approached her.
"Nothing! It's just that you're worse than my mum! It's none of your business where I was. But if you're so desperate to know, well I was strolling round the lake with Alejandro!" she said, as she grabbed Ale's hand.
Kevin's eyes followed her hand and looked surprised as he saw it land on Ale's.
"Is anything going on between you?" he asked curiously.
"Well, she's MY date for the ball!" Ale said.
"What? How could you go with HIM?" Kev asked angrily.
"What do you mean? He's someone I like, and a great partner for the Ball! Aren't you going with someone! Well I, like you am going with someone too! Bye!"
And with a smirk, she motioned Ale to follow her out of the Common Room. Together, hand in hand the two left again.

Dan entered the Common Room, and saw 'Delicata and David flirting by the window – normal situation.
Adriana was explaining some stuff to Steve and Frankie – normal situation once again.
Kevin sitting on the couch looking confused with no Lily near him – not a normal situation,' Dan thought.
"Hey, where's Lily?"
"Probably snogging that guy!" Kev said bitterly.
"What?"
"She left with a guy! I don't even know who he is! She's pissed off! I don't know what happened!" Kev confessed showing his anger and confusion.
"Listen dude, you made a mistake, and she's solving it in her own way!"
"What?" Kev asked, if possible, looking more confused than before.
"She had been expecting that you would invite her for the Ball! She realised you were not inviting her and being a beautiful girl another dude asked her himself and she accepted! And now she's spending time with him to get to know him!"
"You speak as if nothing's happened!" Kev said angrily.
"Did something happen?" Dan asked.
"Of course! Now I've probably lost her!"
"Do you like her?"
"Of course I do!"
"Then why didn't you ask her for the Ball?"
"I was afraid that she'd say no, that would have been terrible! And I did not imagine that she'd go to the Ball with anyone besides me!"
"You think too much of yourself," Dan teased then seriously added, "Listen, just because she's going to this ball with another guy, it does not mean that she does not like you. She's just probably going with him to make you jealous!"
"I hope so!"

Lily and Alejandro entered the Common Room at about midnight. They had spent all the Evening together near the Lake, and had talked about their pasts and by now knew each other just like if they had known each other for years.
The two entered the dark Common Room, as everyone had already left for their dormitories.
Neither Lily nor Ale bothered to turn on the lights, as they muttered,
"Well, good night!"
"Yeah Lil, good night, see you tomorrow!"
"Yeah," Lily answered, and as she blushed, she pecked him softly on his cheek.
Ale thanked God that it was dark, as by now he was even redder than Lily's hair and muttered another goodnight, and ran up to his dormitory.
Lily smiled, and sat down on the couch. She liked being in the dark, as she could think clearly and thought about all that had happened on that day. She smiled, as she remembered how great Ale's company had been.
She suddenly heard someone breathing and in a brave voice asked,
"Who's there?"
"It's me Lils!" Kevin called.
"What are you doing here you git!"
"I was sitting here on the couch you also happen to be sitting on to think things carefully," he answered truthfully.
"Oh," was her reply as she relaxed and sat down again.
"So, how's everything been what your new boyfriend?" Kev asked.
"He's not my boyfriend!"
"That's funny!" Kev said sarcastically.
"It's the truth!" she yelled, as she jumped on him. He laughed and forgot all about their fight. It felt just like before. Lily laughed too and asked,
"You believe me don't you?"
"Yes I do," he answered.
Silence followed and the two could only hear each other's breathing. Suddenly, his hand found the backside of her head and he pushed her head forwards to his.
Their faces were separated by centimetres, and now they could not only hear each other's breath, but also feel it.
"Lily," he muttered, and gradually sealed their lips.
She shuddered, as she felt his warm lips crash against hers, but had no strength to pull back. His hands travelled on her waist, as she played about with his hair. Soon, the kiss was no longer a tender peck, but the hungry kiss which both had waited too long for.
Without breaking the magical kiss, Kev, softly pushed Lily underneath him, and with his hands underneath her back, he pushed her body closer to his.
All she could do was lock her arms around his neck, and wish that this long wanted kiss would never end.
