song by: Savage Garden
Let's all smile and let the good times roooolllllll," James ended with his infamous smile and went off to take his seat again.
"Ready?" Sirus Black questioned, brushing his hair for the millionth time.
James, who was lying on the floor, half asleep, slightly drooling, grumbed something about worms and turned over.
"PRONGS," Sirius said relizing that James was asleep. He smirked, pulled out his wand and conjured up a huge bucket of cold water, before going over to James and..."AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH," James's screamed a very femine scream while Sirius doubled over with laughter. James continued screaming dancing around, as if it made him less wet. After a while of this, James turned and glared at Sirius before bring his hand in contact with Sirius's perfect hair, causing it to go out of it's usualperfect place. Sirius's mouth dropped and a face that looked like he had just heard his Grandmother had died came onto his face. James grinned. taht move never failed to work with Sirius Black. If Snape knew that Sirius's weakness was his ebony hair on his head, he would actually suceed making Sirius's life a living hell, like he promised in the first year."Oh no you didn't," Sirius's hands flew to his hair, before he ran into the bathroom to spend another 15 minutes fixing his hair. James laughed and looked down at the watch on his wrist."Buger! Lily's gonna kill me! Sirius! We're going to be late," James ran bathroom door and flung it open, finding Sirius spraying... volumizing spray on his hair? As soon as James came in, Sirius, hid the bottle behind him.
"what's that... oh never mind ...Come on! It starts at 8:00! It's 8:10! Come on mate,"
"But-," Sirius gave the puppy eye to James, hoping to get 5 more minutes to fix his hair.
"No, now," James pushed Sirius out of the bathroom, dragged him down the stairs and into the commonroom, where two impatient females were waiting for them...
"Hello, ladies," Sirius said in a seductive voice that would make any woman weak at the kneesexcept the ones he was talking to.
"Cut the crap, your late," Kat snapped, before grabbing Sirius's arm and yanking him through the painting that lead out of the common room, Sirius struggling all the way. Lily giggled slightly before turning her glare on James.
"Your late," She snapped coldly.
"Sorry, Sirius was fixing his-," James was interrupted.
"Your still late," She reminded him. James sighed. These next few years were going to be hard. Was she going to do this everytime he came home late?
"I'm really sorry," James said sincerly? That was a surprise to Lily. James squinted at Lily. She was on the dark side of the common room and all he could make out ( hahahaha, make out, hahaha... sorry) was her vemon filled emerald eyes.
"Welll... um...Do you want to go?" James awkwardly said. He was still locked in Lily's eyes. Well that was before she stepped out..
"Sure," Lily said stepping into the light. James's jaw dropped. She looked gorgeous! her hair was down and straightened. Her eyes sparkling, seemed bigger. Her face looked flawless. She was wearing A butterfly shirt that had a corset in it, showing off her nice curves. The shirt was sleeveless, but Lily had covered it with a white see-through shrug. On bottom she wore a not too short, but not too long jean skirt, showing off her perfect tanned legs.
Lily faked coughed to get James's attention. James closed his gaping mouth, but then opened it to say, " You look... wow," She smiled, before saying " Thanks,"
"We'd better go...," Lily held out her left arm for James to take. He took it, noting how soft her skin was, and how good his wedding ring looked on finger. Together then walked through the Fat Lady and to the Great Hall for the thrid time today. There was a very awkward silence. Both of them were thinking about how to break it.
James's POV
Does she want to hear about quitich? no, she hates quitich she never came to any of the games... excpet one when she was going out with Sirius... I need to kill Sirius again. I need to make Lily like quitich... what about exams... no... that's not something I know alot about... gosh... why can't I just talk to her like I do the other girls...
Lily's POV
Does he want to talk about quitich... no I dont know how too much about quitich... I wonder if he know that he's gripping my arm to death... it kinda hurts... I think it's gonna fall off... Owww... What about our honeymoon? We have to talk about that? Might as well be now... But I don't how to bring that up... Omg! I hate the Ministry of Magic, I was all excited about leaving Hogwarts and never seeing James Potter again. But now that's...not possible... He's gonna be the father of my kids! Ewwwwww... don't think about that right now... I hope James brings something up soon... I think I'm going deaf...
Normal Pov..
When they got the the Great Hall, Lily though she was going to be deaf again. The group singing were really loud and Lily wouldn't be surprised if some of the creatures in the forest came up to investigate what the noise was. She forced her not to cover her ears. That would look so... tacky. The loud song ended and a slow one came on.
"Oh My Gosh... I love this song," Lily told James.
"Lily?" James, Looked at Lily, asking her silently to look at him too.
"Ya?" Lily said, granting James's wish. Her eyes hit him again, and the words that were going to come out failed.
"What?" Lily looked at James.
"Um... I was wondering... If maybe you wanted... to dance with me... maybe?" James forced out. Why could he ask every other girl to dance, but he stuttered with Lily?
If she was who she was a few days ago she would have said " No, Go and die in a hole for all I care!" but Lily would have to learn to care, James was in her life for a long time, maybe forever. She was going to ahve to get used to it, even if it meant dancing with the infamous James Potter.
"Ya... sure," Lily offered her hand to James and together they went into the middle of the dance floor. James wrapped his arm around Lily waist, while Lily put a hand on James's shoulder. They're hands touched as they began swaying to the music. Lily looked beside them at Sirius and Kat. Sirius had slid his hand down past her back. Lily heard a gasp from Kat and a slap hitting someone's face. Lily giggled softly, before turning back to her dance partner. He was looking at her smiling. All the times that she had seen James Potter, she never reliezed that his eyes were Hazel, almost green. His black hair stood up in back, but Lily could see his attempt to flatten it down. Out of spite, she smiled back at him. His smile somehow got bigger.
The song ended and very awkardly they split apart, clapping along with the others. Kat and Sirius were fighting like old married couples, which they were if you counted old as 12 hours.
"do you... uh... want some punch?" James stuttered again.
"That'd be nice," James headed off to get punch, and Lily stepped over to Kat.
" Soooooo...," Lily drew out.
"OMG! did you see him while we were dancing, he tried to make a move on me, it was sooooooooo sick! and then after I slapped him, he tried to like pull me in closer to him... it was the sickest experience of my life," Kat basically spat, afterwards, a moment of silence before people started talking again. Kat was going to sit down in a chair besides her, but Sirius came back at that moment and pulled the chair from under her. She hit the floor hard, followed by a loud groan and histerical immature laughter. Kat turned slowly around to face Sirius before jumping up, pulling out her wand and chasing him, shouting some particulary nasty words at him and once in a while shotting some curses at him. Quitich training was finially paying off with Sirius as he ran around the Great Hall a couple times before heading out of the room, Kat on his heels.
By then James was back with punch. Both James and Lily were out of breath they were laughing so hard. Lily leaned on James for support, and James smiled... again. Once Lily noticed what she was doing, she turned a light shade of pink and turned her weight over her feet. She laughed nervously again. James started laughing again, resulting in the spilling of both their punchs on the floor.
"Whoops," James said in between breaths.
"That's ok, I don't really care too much for punch anyway. Come on," Lily grabbed James's arm and dragged him to the dance floor again, where they put on a rather loud song. After it, James and Lily were both breathing very hard.
"And now a song requested by James Potter," the memeber of the band started playing the begining of a slow... very special song...
Lily turned to James, a look of unbelieve on her face. " How did you know?" She whispered in his ear. James grinned at her, before placing his hand on her waist...
I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on a new beginning.
A reason for living. A deeper meaning. Yeah..
I wanna stand with you on a mountain,
I wanna bathe with you in the sea.
I wanna lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down over me.
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven then make you want to cry..
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of..
The highest powers. In lonely hours. The tears devour you..
I wanna stand with you on a mountain,
I wanna bathe with you in the sea.
I wanna lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down over me...
Oh can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes 'cause it's standing right before you.
All that you need will surely come...
I'll be your dream I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do...
I wanna stand with you on a mountain,
I wanna bathe with you in the sea.
I wanna lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down over me...
I wanna stand with you on a mountain,
I wanna bathe with you in the sea.
I wanna live like this forever,
Until the sky falls down over me...
Lily had put her head on James shoulder. James stomach did flips flops. After the song ended, Lily was still resting her head on his shoulder. James didn't relieze the song was over either. So they both just kept on dancing, not aware that all eyes were on them, or didn't care. It was like they were the only ones in the Great Hall. Remus grinned at them. For all these years James had said that Lily would fall for him, she finally was, no matter how much she denied it.
By the time Lily and James split it, a couple people had already left the dance. Both Lily and James were both very sick of standing up, so both of them went to sit at a table, picking up punch on their way back.
A very long silence followed. James, knowing he had to start the conversation this time too.
"Sooooo... where do you want to go?" James said looking at his shoes, then looking at Lily.
"Go where?" Lily asked, confused. James looked at his shoes again. Lily wondered what were so interesting about his shoes.
"um... on the... you know... Honeymoon?" James stated awkwardly.
Lily smacked her head " Ya, duh, um... I like Paris? or the beach... I don't know, where ever you want to go I'm fine with," Lily took a long drink from her punch, finishing it off.
"Ummm... I like the beach too, maybe on a cruise...,"
"Um... Potter I can't...I cant'... I can't swim...," Lily blushed a deep magenta.
James ran a hand through his hand, put on a stupid grin, "Are you serious? you really can't swim!"
"Nope, if you put me in water, I would drown..." Lily giggled slightly.
"Ok... that's out of the option,"
"I can like get in the ocean, cause it has a bottom to it," Lily said helpfully.
"I'll have to teach you how to do it," James grinned down at Lily.
Lily turned a darker shade of red, even her ears. "What?"
James looked at Lily thought it about it a moment, then laughed nervously before saying " Not that... I'll have to teach you how to swim! Maybe Hawii?" James offered.
"Ya! I've always wanted to go there...," Lily grinned a childish grin as if she were a kid again and she had just gotten a new toy.
"Hawii it is, ummmm... would two days from now be too short notice?"
"Um...Could you make it three days? Kat, Kara and I are-"
"That's perfect. Oh and if you dont mind, Could you call me James?"
"I'll think about it...this is crazy!" Lily took another sip out of her punch only to rememeber that she had drunk it all. She giggled ( i know again...) before standing up to get somemore punch.
James stood up too. " No let me,"
"No, I'm already up, I can get my own punch," People around them started backing away. Lily and James were known to get in big fights starting with the stupidest things. They had been so... calm today. Everyone knew they would get in a fight sooner or later.
"No really, I can do it! I'm your husband!"
"Oh you think I can't do it?" Lily scolded at James.
"No it's not that-" James groaned inwardly. He knew they were going to get in a fight soon or later, right now he would rather take the later.
"I'll let you know Potter, I am perfectly capable of anything that you are. Just cause I'm a girl doesn't mean that I can't do anything more or less than you, Why don't you get that in that thick head of yours?" Lily spat out his name with venom.
"I highly doubt you can do anything that I can do just as good as me!"James almost shouted arrogantly. Remus groaned. He knew this would happen. When someone yelled at James, he got arrogant fast.
Lily gave him a stone cold glare. "TONIGHT I THOUGHT YOU HAD CHANGED AND I SHOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU A CHANCE SOONER. BUT RIGHT NOW, I KNOW I DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW YOU, AND I DID THE RIGHT THING. YOU ARE AN ARROGANT SELFISH, BIG HEADED PRAT AND YOU'LL NEVER CHANGE!"
The whole room was quiet by then.James was standing mouth open gaping at her.
She ran. She ran right out of the Great Hall. Away from her problems, away from Potter. She would find Kat and they would both complain about their husbands together. Kat would be the only one to understand. Running up a corridor, she rounded the corner to see... Kat and Sirius making out?
Lily blinked. and she blinked again. No matter how many times she blinked she could get the image of Kat and Sirius swaping spit, straining for breath. How could that be? Kat was near killing Sirius when she chased him and now she was letting him stick his tougue in her mouth? not wanting to disturb their... make out session, She crept out of thecorridor and headed towards the common room. She was glad to find that no one was in the common room, so she ploped down on the couch and laid down. Quickly, she was fast asleep in a world that did NOT have anything to do with James Potter.
"Um... James?" Remus said with caution. When James was mad, he could snap your head off.
"What?" James snapped.
"I think you should go... and apoligize to Lily," Remus advised.
"But-"
"If you don't do it now, she might never forgive you, if you don't now" Remus was always the one to give advice, and his advice was always the right one and James knew it.
"uhfffghhhhhhhhhhhh," James put his head in his hands and groaned.
"James-"
"I know I know, I'm going," James stood up, walking out of the Great Hall.
"Yes..." Remus said under his breath before returning to Kara.
