Hi everyone, here we go with another chapter!

I haven't got much to say today, which is unusual! Sorry this chapter took a while to update, I have a splint on my left hand and elbow, coz I twisted the elbow really badly. So it took longer than usual to type, sorry! ( :

Chapter 5 – The long awaited/dreaded dance

At last, the night of the Halloween Dance had arrived, and the girls were getting ready. It was not a 'floor length dress' or 'tuxedo' occasion, the girls' dresses were supposed to be just past their knees, and the boys would wear trousers, and a shirt, designed to be worn untucked and without a tie.

Maddi was, as usual, the first one ready. Her dress was dark pink. It had and embroidered bodice and a floaty skirt. It had thin shoulder straps and came to halfway between her ankles and her knees. She wore gold jewellery, and had pulled a few of her curls back into a gold clasp, the rest, she left around her face and down her back.

Lily was ready next. Her dress was emerald green, like her eyes. It had a skirt that was made of silky material, and was spotted with tiny gold beads. On the bodice, these beads were sewn in swirls. It had thin gold straps, and she had put her hair in a bun, with a few, golden red tresses falling out. She had emerald jewellery, to match her dress. The skirt came to a little below her knees.

Next to be ready, was Lisa, in a sea green, floaty dress, with a silky sash in a slightly darker colour. Her chestnut hair was in a french plait, and she had replaced her glasses with contact lenses. She had found some jade jewellery, which had belonged to her mother, which matched her dress perfectly.

Finally. Pan was ready. She had a dress that was pale aqua-marine. The skirt was made up of many layers of gauzy material, and came to her mid-calf. It had a fitted, beaded bodice, that laced up at the back , and was strapless. She had got rid of the streaks in her hair, and put in an almost nymph-like hairstyle. Intricate, pulled off her face, many tiny plaits and twists wove through her hair, which was, ultimately, in a very fancy half-ponytail. She looked stunning. If it wasn't for the scars, which were now visible, she would look perfect...

Lily gaped at Pan, though 'Sirius is gonna flip...' then said,

"Er, let's go then"

In the common room, the boys were anxiously awaiting their dates. Sirius smoothed his ice blue shirt, and black trousers for what seemed like the 100th time. He glanced at James' mint green shirt and black trousers, and Remus' cream shirt and black trousers. His eyes then strayed to Peter, who was sneaking out of the portrait hole in maroon trousers, and the most appallingly frilly shirt that Sirius had ever seen. He wondered when Peter would stop letting his mother buy his clothes...

Sirius sighed again. He didn't feel like going to this dance at all, but he had to. He had a date, he couldn't let her down.

Richard, Pan's date, walked over and said

"Hi, can I wait with you? For Pan,"

"Yes" said Sirius, teeth clenched, his hands balling into fists in his pockets. When Johnny Wood, Lily's date, also came to stand with them, Sirius saw James tense, and his smile become even more fixed than it already had been.

When Pan descended the Pan descended the stairs with the other girls, Sirius' and Richard's chins hit the floor. Pan blushed, her eyes locked with Sirius'. Then Richard said

"Shall we go?"

"Yes, I suppose so..." she replied, tearing her eyes away from Sirius', and leaving the common room, with Richard, Lily and Johnny.

Vicky and Ellie came down next. Vicky had on a lavender dress, Ellie's was pale pink. They had their hair in identical, plaited buns, and both wore simple, silver jewellery. They looked pretty, but didn't, in Sirius' and James' opinions, look a patch on Pan or Lily.

Stiffly, Sirius said,

"Ready to go?"

"Yep," replied Ellie, Vicky, James, Maddi, Lisa and Remus.

"Maddi, who are you going with?" Lisa asked

"Oh, Benny Davies, from Ravenclaw." Maddi replied.

"Ahh, well Remus and I are going together" Lisa gabbled happily

"Obviously..." muttered Maddi. In ordinary circumstances, Sirius would have sniggered at this remark, but he stayed sullen.

"Ok, 's'go then" he said shortly, walking out of the portrait hole.

In the entrance hall, where everyone was meeting dates and finding friends, Sirius spotted Pan. She looked beautiful. As he tried, unsuccessfully, not to stare at her, she looked back. Right into his eyes. But when Vicky walked over and suggested that they go into the hall, Pan threw her a filthy look, and turned her back on him. Sirius narrowed his eyes. Vicky noticed.

"You really like her don't you?" she grinned at him

"Wha'? Yeah..." said Sirius, taken aback, "Yeah, I do..." he looked crestfallen.

"I can tell!" she said brightly

Sirius was more than a little confused "You don't mind? That I'm going with you... but have a massive crush on her?"

"No!" she laughed, "We're just going as friends right? I have a muggle boyfriend back home"

Sirius was relieved "Oh! That's ok then!"

"She likes you too, y'know?" Vicky said, gesturing at Pan, "She's only going out with Richard to make you jealous. She wanted you to ask her to the dance, but she probably gave up waiting"

Sirius was confused again. "How the hell do girls' brains work?"

"Don't go there!" smiled Vicky prettily, "Ask her for a dance, I don't mind! As long as you don't abandon me straight away!"

"Thank you" breathed Sirius, "I owe you SO much!"

"Don't mention it," Vicky grinned, "Let's go in" And they walked into the great hall.

After an hour, Sirius said

"Shall I go and ask her now?"

"Go ahead" said Vicky, turning to talk to Remus and Lisa, who were sat next to her.

Sirius' stomach twisted as he saw Pan, he admitted to himself, he was terrified. Richard was talking to his friends while she sat and watched the dancing. He sat down next to her,

"Hi Pan!"

"Hey Siri,"

He noticed that she had shortened his name, he liked it,

"How're you doing?"

"I'm bored"

"Why?"

"Richard doesn't like dancing"

"Oh... Do you want to dance, with me?"

Pan blushed and nodded

"I'll just tell Richard"

They walked onto the dance floor. Sirius thanked the stars when a slow song came on. He snaked his arms around Pan's waist, and she rested hers at the back of his neck. They swayed gently, in time with the music, slowly getting closer. Her fingers toyed with his hair, and his hands moved to her hips.

They were very close now, he could feel her fluttering breathing on his face. He could see right into her huge eyes, and she could see the depth of his silver ones. As their eyes locked onto each other, their breathing quickened. Slowly, as if an invisible hand was pushing the back of his head, Sirius lowered his head to a couple of centimetres from hers. She gazed up at him, and he closed the gap, placing his lips on hers. Her lips were as soft as he'd imagined. Pan was in heaven. They eventually broke apart, breathing heavily, holding each other tight. Sirius kissed her quickly, and pulled her out of the hall. He ran along the corridor, pulling her by the hand. They reached an empty classroom, and he pulled her inside. Sirius pressed her up against the wall, kissing her hand, she allowed him to enter her mouth, tangling her tongue with his. She moaned with pleasure, as she ran her hands through his silky hair. Their lips crashed together again and again. Sirius had given up the attempt to restrain his hands.

Finally, a long time later, Sirius pulled away. He looked at Pan's swollen lips, heaving chest, her flushed cheeks, and finally her eyes.

"I've wanted to do that for a long time" he admitted.

"Me too" she replied, nuzzling his neck.

"You're incredible" he muttered, not objecting as she kissed him again. Then he looked at his watch and yelped. 1 o'clock in the morning.

"If you felt like this about me, then why didn't you ask me to the dance? I gave up waiting" she breathed, leaning into his chest.

"I was scared"

Pan kissed him quickly, Sirius was having none of that.

Ten minutes later Pan pulled away,

"C'mon, we need to go upstairs"

Sirius groaned,

"Hey" Pan continued, "I never said I wanted to go to sleep"

Sirius smirked.

Well?

They finally got together!
