Sorry about the length of this one. Just a really short chapter of the dance. :)
James felt like hanging his head in shame when he saw his best friends walk in with dates. That weren't each other. He held his hand around Lily's waist, and the only thing that tore his eyes away from her gorgeous emerald dress was Remus and Sirius walking in. Robert was an okay guy. That was it. Remus, Remus was Remus. She was in a beautiful floor length tan dress with flashes of gold, and a white shawl. She didn't belong with that Robert. Now, Sirius, the boy who actually combed his hair and was wearing a tux that was the boy she should have been with.
Lily caught his stare.
"James, they'll come to their senses soon enough."
"It took us six years."
A glint of mischievousness went through Lily's eyes, and James smiled.
"Maybe they just need some help." She said.
"And this is why I love you."
Lily smiled and pushed a long strand of hair behind her ear.
"You take Robert, and I'll grab Sirius's date. And then you take Sirius, I'll get Remus, and we bash their heads together."
James smiled, but he couldn't stop watching his friends. As Remus danced with her date, every now and then her eyes would look past Robert and towards Sirius. And whenever her eyes went back down, Sirius was looking up at her, a smile lighting up his face.
"Maybe we shouldn't interfere."
"You sure?" Lily asked.
He watched as Sirius's and Remus's eyes met and they both blushed and looked away.
"Yeah, I'm sure."
And he grabbed her hand and led her to the dance floor where they spent the night laughing and twirling to the music.
