DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING FROM THE HARRY POTTER SERIES. I only own my OC. alright here you go

A/N: Okay. I love this story with a passion, and I know my spelling and grammar may be off a bit, I'm not cool enough to have a functioning spell/grammar check (yeah my computer sucks that bad) I'll try and proofread when I get the chance. So go ahead and say what you have to, but please review!!

A/N: I KNOW IT'S SHORT. It's one of those perfect places to end a chapter thing. Don't worry, it's only 11:11 am, and I have ALL DAY to write. Plus this is the best part, so it'll be fun fun fun.

Chapter 8: Christmas Evel

Sirius had come alone...

at least, that's what it looked like...

Sirius and Peter headed for the punch table as Remus and James led their dates to the dance floor. Almost everyone was confused about why Sirius was alone, especially the girls who had been rejected because of his 'date'. However, he didn't act like anything was peculiar.

"Lily!" He walked over and gave the redhead a hug. "Sirius! You're late." He pulled out of the hug and smiled at her. "Sorry, Peter's tie was trying to kill him." Lily looked at Peter who nodded and gave his tie a slight tug. Sirius turned to Honey and Pyper, "Having fun?" They stared at him with horrified looks. He glanced back at Lily, who shrugged, and the two turned to head to the dance floor.

Danyl stared at their backs for a moment. "Wait a sec..." The two turned back to him. Danyl ran a hand through his hair, "You're Lily's date?!" Sirius nodded. Danyl blinked. Everyone just stared at each other for a moment.

"Is that a problem Danyl?" Sirius asked while still wearing his typical smile. Danyl let out a small angry breath, "Well yeah!" He glanced back at the dancers to make sure James wasn't near. "I mean, your best mate has loved her for years, and now as soon as he gives up you just snatch her up?" Sirius shrugged, "Why not? The keywords there are: he gave up." He sighed and headed back for the floor.

Pyper turned to her best friend in astonishment, "A galleon says James breaks his nose." Honey shook her head, "I'll be surprised if they aren't carting what's left of Sirius to St. Mungo's within the hour." Danyl sat down on one of the tables, "Damn. I can't believe Sirius would do that." He frowned, "I mean, sure he's always trying to get the pretty girls, but I didn't think he'd EVER go for Lily. Not with his friend liking her and all." Pyper shrugged, "It's their problem." She turned to Danyl and smiled, "Wanna dance?"

--------------

"Hey Ellie, look who's dancing together!" Snape nodded towards Lily and Sirius. Elliot turned to look and shook her head, "Just friends dancing." She turned back to her boyfriend. "So what?" Snape shrugged, "Oh. I guess I never realized Lily let her friends touch her butt." Elliot's eyes widened, "What?!" She turned so quickly to check that Snape heard a nice POP from her neck. "Calm down." He turned her back to him with one finger, "Don't worry about them."

"Oh no, now you brought it to my attention." She pulled away from him and pushed her way through the people towards her friends. "Sirius!" She hissed, "Lily!"

The two turned to her. "O hey Elle." Lily said with a small smile. Elliot pushed Sirius apart from Lily, "What are you doing?" Sirius rolled his eyes, "And you yelled at me when I punched Snivellus." Elliot turned back to the boy, "And just what do you mean by that?" She looked between the two, "Oh no...you're not..." Sirius smirked. Elliot turned to Lily with a look of utter shock, "You're dating HIM!?" Lily smiled awkwardly. Elliot backed away a little, "I can't... I can't believe you two."

---------------

James and Danielle were sitting in the courtyard. Danielle was rambling on about how much she liked the song that was playing, and James was watching the clock. 'How long can this girl talk?' He downed the last of his punch in an attempt to escape. "I'm going to go get more okay? You want any?" Danielle nodded, "Yes please!" James smiled, "Okay, I'll be right back. Stay here." Danielle nodded. James began back towards the castle. He sighed, "I am going to kill Aida..."

James got to the punch table, and met none other than Snape. "Hey Snivvly." Snape rolled his eyes and took a short sip of his punch. James smirked, "Where's Elle?" Snape pointed towards Sirius and Lily, "Fighting with them I think." James shook his head, "Glad I'm not part of that."

"Oh, but what's going on might intrigue you."

"Why?" James looked back at the Slytherin, who was smirking back at him. "Alright Snivvly, what's with the 'I know something you don't know' look." Snape laughed a little, "Well, it just so happens I do know something you don't. The sad part seems to be that it's probably been happening right under your nose and you've been ignorant the entire time." He glanced back at the small group and his smirk fell into a smile, "Ah, here comes Elliot."

Elliot was walking towards the two boys, staring at the ground. James folded his arms across his chest, "Hey, Elle." Elliot looked up and James could see her face was red and her eyes were shining. Snape put down his glass, "I wonder what that pompus ass did to her now." James grabbed Snape's arm, "Don't say that about Sirius right infront of me Snivellus." Snape ripped himself away from James, "Pretty soon you may agree with me. Take a look." James glanced over to look at Sirius and Lily, and he had to grip the table to keep from falling back.

Sirius and Lily were kissing.
