3rd person POV for the very last time.
James watched everyone else dancing and chatting. Sirius was laughing at something Hannah had just said. Even Lupin was chatting away to a girl with freckles. Where was Lily? Maybe she had stood him up, to get revenge or something. But Lily wasn't the type of girl to do that. Was she?...
"Hey, no one said it was fancy dress." said a familiar voice over James' shoulder. James spun round.
"Lily! Hang on, I'm not wearing fa…" James said.
"I know! I was only teasing." Lily laughed.
"Oh!" James realised, and laughed too, properly this time.
"So…" Lily said. There was an awkward silence.
"Come and dance!" James said, holding out a hand to Lily. She smiled and took it, and he lead her towards the middle of the room, where everyone was dancing. James was aware that he was a bad dancer. Painfully aware. He was very nervous and tense.
"Come on, lighten up, James!" Lily teased him.
"Easy for you to say." James said bitterly. "You're a great dancer!"
Lily blushed and shook her head.
"No, you are!" James insisted. Unfortunately, he was so busy telling lily how great he was that he forgot to pay attention to his feet. He tripped and fell, pulling Lily down with him. James sat up quickly.
"Sorry Lily! Are you hurt? Oh my god, I'm sorry. I said I was a bad dancer!" James said worriedly.
Lily laughed and laughed. "I'm…fine." she managed between hysterical bursts.
James raised an eyebrow. He had never understood girls, and probably never would. But now he was happy just trying to understand one of them. The one who was currently lying on the floor with tears of laughter running down her face. Lily Evans.
