Chapter 2: The Dance

It was the last day of term. I had managed to avoid Potter for the last week of school but tonight, yeah tonight was the dance. And I was pretty positive that there was absolutely no way I could avoid him there.

Alex, Mary, and I all wanted to look our best for the dance so we woke up very early that morning to get special permission from Dumbledore to go shopping. Of course, being the best professor basically ever, he let us go. It also probably had to do something with the fact that the three of us don't hardly ever cause trouble. That is, of course, unless James Potter is involved. Then everything changes.

After we finished getting our dresses, we came home and started getting ready for the dance about five hours before it was actually supposed to start. Yeah, we were pretty excited.

Mary's long blonde hair was pulled up into a fancy updo, and ringlets cascaded down from it. She had gotten a light blue spaghetti strap dress with silver designs running up and down the fabric of the ankle length dress. Feeling very self conscious of her tall stature, she bought a pair of very pretty but simple white flats to go with her beautiful dress.

Alex's shoulder length jet black hair had been straightened. Her simple but elegant white dress fell just below her knees. She had bought a silvery blue high heels that looked very nice on her, and she was pleased to be a little taller than usual. She was in fact one of the shortest girls in our grade. She looked the prettiest I've ever seen her.

My long red hair had been very elegantly curled, something I had never done with it before, and was very nervous about trying something new the night of the dance, but it definitely paid off. I had chosen to buy a green dress that exactly matched the color of my eyes, which I liked. It was very flowy and beautiful, and I loved the way that I felt in it. It was a spaghetti strap, but I wore a nice black cardigan over it. I had a pair of pretty, silver high heels.

All three of us put on some makeup, something that none of us had ever really done much of before. We all wear foundation and mascara, but rarely do the whole smash.

We are also usually very humble about our appearances, but tonight, we had to admit it. We were simply fabulous.

When it was finally time for the dance to start, we made our way down to the Great Hall, where the ball was going to be held. On the way down the staircase, we passed Remus, Sirius, and Potter. When they saw us, all three of their mouths dropped wide open.

Alex and Mary giggled a little bit, but I wasn't the least bit amused and held a completely straight face the whole time.

Right before we stepped into the Great Hall, those three boys seemed to realize something all at the same time.

"WAAAAAIT!" they all yelled at the same. Exact. Time.

"Ahh crap," James muttered as me and my friends were completely surrounded by a puff of dense and weird smoke.

I could feel my cheeks coloring in rage at them, knowing that this whole little incident could be nothing good to us.

It wasn't until the strange fog cleared and I saw the three of us in the mirror that I realized that our cheeks didn't need to be colored in rage. James Potter took right care of that.

Our face, hair, dresses, skin, eyes, and.. well.. everything had all changed into a bunch of crazy, bright, and exuberant colors.

I. Was. Irate. There is nothing else to describe how I was feeling that moment.

"JAMES POTTER," I screamed. "YOU RUIN EVERYTHING." Again, he just stood there in shock. "Change. It. Back. Now." I said through clenched teeth.

Potter finally shook off his shock. His open mouthed horror-gape melted into a smirk as he said "I will, Evans. But only if you'll go out with me."

I scoffed and stormed past him to go back to the common room. I called over my shoulder "you wish,"

I heard his reply "Yeah, I do," Then him and Black started cracking up. What do you know? This only infuriated me further. There was absolutely nothing I could do to make Potter just leave me alone!

I felt like crying I was so angry at them.

Back in the common room, it took at least a half an hour to set our appearances straight, and by the time we were back down at the Great Hall, the dance was nearly half over.

I danced with a few guys, and then Remus came over and asked me if I would like to dance. Based on the fact that I was really only mad at Sirius and Potter, I agreed.

After a few moments of dancing in silence, Remus said, "James is really sorry, you know."

I scoffed and said nothing else.

"No really!" Remus insisted. "He honestly felt bad. Listen-"

"No you listen, Remus!" I cut off. "James Potter is an arrogant jerk who doesn't have feelings like remorse. Do you HONESTLY think that he feels bad? He laughed at us. Is that how Potter apologises? He laughs at his victims? Seems pretty shady to me!"

Remus sighed. "James is under a lot of pressure to remain the cool kid of the school-"

"I don't care who he is or what kind of pressure he's under. That isn't an appropriate way to respond to circumstances like that!" I cut off again.

"I never said it was appropriate. Now would you please just hear me out?" I nodded. "I don't think he knew how to respond to the situation. He was actually pretty sad and scared that that had happened to you. He didn't know what to do, so he jumped back with sarcasm and laughter."

My head was aching so hard from all the confusion, frustration, and anger that I laid my head down on Remus's shoulder. Several moments later, I lifted my head back up, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Potter watching me and Remus with irritation written all over his face.

The song ended just then, and, just to infuriate Potter further, I reached up and kissed Remus on the cheek. I looked at Remus, and he had a troubled expression on his face.

Clearly knowing my intentions, he gave me one last reproachful look and said, "Goodnight, Lily."

"Goodnight Remus."

I watched as he walked back to his group of friends, particularly to an irate James Potter. I saw Potter grab him by the arm and pull him out of the Great Hall.

I decided that it wouldn't be in my best interests to follow them.

I tried to enjoy the rest of my night and get me through to the next day where I could finally go home.

Well, that was fun! I hope you enjoyed. Pleaaaase review!
