A/N: So, it's Wednesday and I have something amazing to tell you guys. This is the hundredth page this story is taking up on Microsoft Word. Isn't that amazing. We made 100 pages. Alrighty, I got a review from a very kind person and to answer her question I live in Plano. You know who you are, so moving on to the next point. So, today I found out in my theatre class about the amazing fundraisers we're having and one of them is a masque dance like 3 days before Halloween. Oh, these fundraisers are for the trips to Corpus Christi for the Thespian convention there and for the trip to NYC for e fun little workshops and all that will pretty much rock. Oh and I had to go to the tech people because my laptop was all screwy and I couldn't send email and yet I could get email from other people. Weird huh?

Wow, it's Thursday already, how time does fly…NOT! So, nothing really pivotal happened today, and I'm okay with that, and I'm sure you are too because that means I have nothing to complain about in the least bit! Yay! Oh, and I'm thinking of doing an alternate to this story and it starting out rocky and ending okay and then doing a prequel with Lily and James in their sixth year, wanting to kill each other just to be funny. Tell me if you think that's a good idea because I want to know what you think. Also, I will do a sequel for after school, that's a definite sureness. In fact, I've already started working on it. I also want to do an alternate one where the two have a more rocky start.

Oh, Friday has come at last, bet you were looking forward to it more than me. Well, I had biology today and Morgan and I were singing Christmas songs in the middle of a lab, it was pretty interesting. We sang Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer very animatedly, making up our own moves and what not. It was fun, I must say.,

Disclaimer: Sadly, I only own the names you don't recognize. HP belonghs to JK Rowling!

To everyone who says I'm a good writer, I love you like so much, in a friend and grateful way! So thanks everyone for the amazing reviews

The next day, James followed Sirius to the room where he knew the Malfoy kid was and they proceeded to fill out a prank they had been planning on Snivellus when they got back to the school. It was a classic, something he once played on Lily that got her the angriest he'd ever seen her back in sixth year. She had gotten her first detention that day and it was totally worth it. She had come so close to hitting him that it wasn't even funny, and nothing would've stopped her if McGonagall hadn't appeared. They went to the kitchen and found some giant slugs. Who keeps giant slugs in the kitchen. Anyways, they levitated them above the door and Sirius knocked, running away as quickly as he'd come. Narcissa and Lucius came out, both with their hair a mess, obviously having been enjoying themselves, and James waved his wand and the slugs fell on top of them, soaking their hair in the goop form the trials. It was green and slimy and it made their white-blonde hair look greasier and slimier than usual. James bit back laughter and Sirius whacked him in the arm, pointing to the rock on Narcissa's finger. It was an engagement ring that was the size of her thumbnail and glistened like a star. It was the biggest diamond James had ever seen in his entire life. They ran away, not wanting to say anything about what they saw and realizing that Narcissa and Malfoy were getting married made Sirius Malfoy's cousin-in-law. It was too terrible to put into words at the moment.

Meanwhile

Lily, Remus, Tanya, and Claire had sealed the door to the ballroom and placed a fake sign on the door saying a dungbomb had been released and the place needed fumigation as quickly as possible. No one even bothered to try and get in with something like that on the door. Lily was conjuring streamers form her wand and they were pinning themselves to the wall. By the time they were done, the ballroom looked more like a club than a ballroom could've ever looked. They had conjured a few things and made tables around certain areas, expanded the room so that it was still the same on the outside, but once you walked in, it was two stories and had a dance floor as big as the original ballroom. Claire had been passing out fliers all afternoon to anyone between ages thirteen and nineteen. Lily refused to tell her why they had used the most beautiful girl on the planet as a walking billboard, and really didn't want to. Remus and Lily had found a band that was on board and had agreed to do it if Lily request that Dumbledore let them play at the next dance that was held. Lily knew exactly what to do.

Seven o'clock rolled around and about a hundred people were lined up outside the ballroom. At precisely seven, Lily flung open the doors and everyone rushed in, the band began playing, and food appeared on the tables. Lily went to sit down at one of the tables when James walked in with Sirius. Tanya, Lily, Claire, and Remus were sitting at one of the tables and they walked over to meet them, sitting down with them.

"So, did you boys have fun today?" asked Lily, kissing James once before waiting for the answer.

"Very much so, but we received quite the fright, I must say. Malfoy and Narcissa are engaged, how disturbing is that?" asked Sirius, placing his arm around Claire immediately while Remus and Tanya were kissing next to them.

"Eww, that means that you and him are cousins…eww," said Claire, shaking her head in disgust.

"You think I don't know that?" he asked sarcastically. Just then, a tall, nineteen-year-old boy walked up to the table. A slow song was playing and he was looking at Lily.

"May I have this dance?" he asked smoothly. He was gorgeous, to put it mildly. He had shaggy, blonde hair that fell almost into his eyes and a built and muscular frame, but not bulkily so. He had crystal blue eyes that were almost as beautiful as Claire's, but Lily felt no attraction to him whatsoever. She didn't feel like being rude though, so she looked to James. He was standing now, about to kill the guy.

"James, sit down," she hissed, grabbing his arm and trying to pull him back to his seat. James wouldn't budge. "James, just one dance, I don't want to be rude," she said, with a smile to the boy. James, I don't want to be rude to…" she looked to him, expecting a name.

"Anthony," he finished for her. "I used to go to Hogwarts too, Hufflepuff."

"I thought I'd seen you before," said Lily, looking back to James. He nodded once, a smile never creasing his lips, but his eyes were soft and comforting slightly. James looked back to Anthony and his face became a glare. Lily stood up and walked around the table and followed Anthony onto the dance floor. It felt weird, dancing with someone other than James, and she didn't like the feeling. Anthony and Lily were dancing to the slow song almost too close for her comfort. His hands were slowly wandering down her back and she would grab his arms and move them up every once in a while to make sure he didn't try anything. He talked to her kindly, telling jokes, and she laughed. Lily could feel James's eyes boring into her back as he watched. Then, Anthony surprised her by bending lower, close to her face and whispering some suggestive tings in her ear. She stepped back away form him, throwing his hands off of her waist.

"You idiot!" she said angrily. "I have a boyfriend who is in love with me. You bastard." He didn't look phased by this angry performance, but moved back to her, touching her cheek.

"What he doesn't know won't hurt him, come on," he whispered. Lily backed away; shaking her head and throwing his arm away form her face and the other away form her backside.

"You ass, stop it!" she said spitefully.

"Come on, come back to my cabin for the night," he whispered. Lily, by now, could see right past his gorgeous exterior. She grabbed his hand twisted it, pushing him away from her. He clutched his wrist in his unhurt hand and stepped back to her, grabbing her wrist.

"You're coming with me," he said forcefully this time. Tears were beginning to form in Lily's eyes. He had taken out his wand with his urt hand and was pointing it at her. "Now." Lily shook her head, trying to back away, looking for some way out. It all happened so quickly then. A fist flew from nowhere and hit Anthony in the face, hard. Anthony staggered back, his nose bleeding and apparently broken. The person turned back to her, it was James.

"You okay?" he asked softly. She nodded, tears streaming down her face. James nodded and looked to Anthony, who had attempted to strike James, but James dodged it and struck a blow to the side of Anthony's face. Anthony staggered back and looked to Lily.

"You bitch," he muttered, before turning on his heel and walking out of the ballroom.

"Come here," James whispered, placing his arms comfortingly around her shoulders and looking her over quickly to make sure she wasn't hurt.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so, so sorry," she whispered softly, her strength almost failing her from the traumatic experience she had just been through. James was supporting most of her weight as he guided her form the ballroom and back to her room. He took her to the table in their sitting room and sat her down in one of the chairs. She wouldn't stop crying.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked softly again. She nodded.

"I…I was so scared he was really going to…force me," she whispered, looking down at her hands folded across her lap. "I was so scared, James. I'm so sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry for, if anything, I do, for letting it go that far." She looked back up at him, her face glistening form the tears, her emerald green eyes portraying so much emotion and he was hurting just looking at it. He hated seeing her cry; it depressed everyone else just to see it. She wiped the tears form her face with her arm and looked up to him, something had changed in those last few minutes. It seemed like a new level of their relationship was reached at the strangest times. Shivers went down her spine just looking at him. James went rigid for a split second, tipping Lily off to the fact that he felt exactly the same. His hazel eyes still held a hint of rage, but there was comfort in his face over everything else, and what was more…love.

They both stood up, James's hands going to the sides of her face as he kissed her, both of them backing up against the wall. Her hands found his hair and she was running her fingers through it as one of his hands went up against the wall and the other to her waist. Her tongue darted into his mouth for the smallest second and James's eyes flew open, meeting her equally surprised ones. It was like they weren't even in control of their own bodies anymore. Her hands moved inside of his shirt and she felt the contours of his chest, his mouth moving to her neck, sending shivers up her spine that were stranger than she had ever experienced with him. His hands were back to her face. He kissed her neck, his hands moving to her red hair and mussing it up terribly. When she finally realized that things might go further than she was ready for, she pushed him back and would have backed away herself if it wasn't for the dumb wall.

"Too much?" he asked, sounding confused.

"Not yet, but I don't ever want it to be," she whispered, moving onto her tiptoes and kissing him on the cheek.

"I understand," he said softly, taking a strand of her hair and tucking it back behind her ear. "I love you, Lily."

"I love you too," she whispered. "It's been a busy night and I am really tired, and as much as I hate to leave, I really should go, Claire and Tanya will be wondering where I'm at if I'm not at the room when they get back. We're leaving tomorrow, huh?" James put his hands in his pockets and his shoulders became all hunched up, like a guy does when he's nervous or it's a tense or awkward situation.

"Yeah," he said softly, kissing her before opening the door for her to leave. Lily knew, form that point on that she had definitely found "the one" she never wanted to be apart from James…ever again. He was too…perfect. She walked back to her room in silence, cursing herself for not fixing her hair when she was in the room and tapping her head with the wand. It went back to the soft waves she normally wore. She opened the door to the room and it was empty, Tanya and Claire must still be at the party. She changed into her pajamas and drifted off to sleep quickly, but it was a nervous sleep, one that she couldn't relax with. She knew that James was going to be her husband one day, and the surges of electricity and the shivers that went between them showed her that. They were perfection.

A/N: So, I just got back form a party myself…it is about midnight in Texas and I am wiped out tired. I'll have another chapter up tomorrow with way less weekly complaints that you've probably come accustomed to by now. Don't forget to tell me what you think about the whole prequel and sequel thing in the top author's note, okay. I really want ya'll's input because I've already starting writing the first chapter of both of them. So, tell me what you think. Oh, and I haven't even started the alternate seventh year, so tell me whether you think it's a good idea or not. Love you guys, read, review, you know what to do!
