I Hate Everything about You
Chapter Twenty: Dance
"God James it's just breakfast!"
"We are going to be late!"
"You can't be late for breakfast!" Lily was straightening her blouse in the bathroom mirror, as she yelled out into the common room.
"When they're not serving food anymore then we're late," James yelled back, foot tapping as he anxiously awaited going down for breakfast.
"James calm down I'm coming," she exited looking perfect and James instantly stood up ready to go.
"Come on," Lily rolled her eyes grabbing James' hand and pulling them out the door.
James smiled down at her, but before they reached the Great Hall he pulled Lily up against the wall.
"I'm sorry," each of his hands were braced beside her head trapping her in as he whispered his apology.
"It's okay, we're bound to fight…it's who we are," Lily said, her breath shallow because of James' close proximity.
"It's only been two weeks," James said smiling as he pulled away and they continued down the hallway leaving Lily slightly breathless as she stumbled next to him.
"Yeah, but it's been great," the red head smiled up at her boyfriend as they entered into the great hall, no one even stared.
"Come on James, don't fidget," Sirius said, flicking his perfectly styled hair out of his grey eyes as he smirked at James. Hestia and Lily were getting ready in Lily's room while James and Sirius waited for them in the Heads Common room.
"It's just a dance," Sirius finished saying just as Hestia exited Lily's room. Sirius stood in shock, his mouth hanging open his eyes wide.
"Just a dance?" Hestia said smiling with one hand on her hip.
She was wearing a midnight blue dress, strapless showing off her tan shoulders that glowed in the firelight. The dress caught the light in different places shinning iridescent in the moonlight, it fitted around her waist before sparkles burst at her hips and it fell down to the floor draping around her perfectly.
James watched amused as Sirius gave Hestia a corsage and kissed her deeply.
The Head boy gulped and everything seemed to slow down as the door to Lily's room opened again and Lily came out a bright smile on her elegantly made up face.
Her hair was swept up elegantly on the back of her head, tendrils falling around her long milky neck and the curve of her shoulders. The dress was a deep aqua blue green, silk that hugged her figure and fell elegantly to the floor. It wrapped tightly around her bust and went around one shoulder a strap stretched across her elegant back.
"Lily you look…stunning," James said holding her hand and looking into the green of her eyes.
"You don't look too bad yourself," She smiled pulling on the collar of his tux.
"Oh, I got this for you," James reached to the coffee table and got out her corsage, he smiled as he placed it around her slim wrist.
"Thanks James," she smiled and pushed up on her toes to give him a kiss.
"No problem," he smiled as he held out his arm and Lily put hers through his, and the couples headed to the Winter Dance.
They met Remus, Peter and their dates at the doors.
Remus brought a shy Ravenclaw girl and Peter had managed to ask a short pudgy Hufflepuff 6th year to go with him. All four couples entered the great hall, decorated like a mythical forest in the snow.
The teachers had managed to create real trees around the great hall, so they stretched up and over like a canopy, each tree had Christmas lights wrapped around the trunks and into the branches. The ceiling was charmed to look like the midnight sky, with sparkling stars, while snow drifted down but never reached the ground. Fairies and lightning bugs few above every ones heads lighting up romantically every once in a while.
"It's so beautiful," Lily whispered looking around wide eyed.
James stared at her, "Yeah."
"Let's dance!" she exclaimed pulling him onto the nearly empty dance floor.
"Oh, erm…I don't really…" James trailed off awkwardly as they reached the middle and Lily smiled up at him with hopeful eyes.
He awkwardly rested his hand on her waist and held her other hand as she rested her other hand on his shoulder. An orchestra played by no one was playing in the corner and they began to dance elegantly, against one another.
"You're a great dancer," Lily said with a grin, as they spun slightly.
"Yeah well…" James blushed but gave her a small grin.
"James?" Lily whispered, looking up at him with wide almond eyes.
"Yeah?" he looked down at her, his glasses slipping down his nose slightly.
"I really like you," Lily took her arms and wrapped them around James as he did the same to her. She laid her head on his chest as they swayed and he set his chin on top of her head.
"I really like you too," he whispered back feeling her sigh happily against his chest.
They swayed like that for a few more slow songs before a new band came out, with louder more up beat music and Lily broke away from him excitedly.
"I love this song!" she exclaimed and before James could say anything back Sirius and Hestia were running to the front of the stage dragging Lily with them.
James retreated to the corner where Remus and his date were discussing something and he watched as Lily and Sirius jumped around and flailed their arms like idiots as Hestia laughed loudly next to them.
And he wouldn't have it any other way.
Only when I stop to think
About you, I know
Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
You hate everything all about me
Why do you love me
