Chapter 25

The ball room was enormous and their must have been close to 300 hundred guests or more. Lily was amazed at all the dresses the ladies were wearing. They were made of the richest material and the most amazing colours. In the middle of the room a large dance floor was crammed with people dancing, of course it was not the same kind of dancing that you would do at a night-club but a lot more formal. At the sides of the dance floor tables had been set up for older people to sit at or for those who wanted to rest their feet for a bit. On the stage a band played, it wasn't a modern band like The Beatles or The Rolling Stones; it was more of a band with Orchestra instruments and a woman with a diva voice were signing. James smiled at Lily's reaction. Even though she had been to many Muggle Balls, she had never been to a Magical Ball. The group of six stopped and looked round the packed room. Caspian said something to Eve then turned to Michelle.

"Michelle, can I speak with you a moment, please?" Caspian asked. Michelle sighed.

"I suppose. Sirius I won't be long." Michelle said letting go of Sirius arm. Sirius nodded and watched Caspian and Michelle leave the ballroom.

"He just had to go and mention her." Sirius sighed.

"It wasn't his fault." Eve chided. Sirius grinned.

"Of course not Eve, I am sorry. I was rude with that remark towards Caspian; I know how much you like him." Sirius teased. Eve went red in the face and was nearly matching the red ball gown that she was wearing. Sirius grinned innocently. Before could say anything Sirius took her hand and led her onto the dance floor. Lily laughed as she watched this. James just smiled and rolled his eyes. Lily then turned to James.

"What was that all about between Michelle and Caspian?" Lily asked curiously.

"You mean Michelle has not told you?" James asked, his eyebrows furrowed. Lily shook her head. "Caspian is Michelle's cousin." James said.

"But I thought her father was an only child?" Lily asked.

"Oh he is. Caspian is from Michelle's mothers' side. He and his parents are the only relatives that Michelle keeps in touch with because of her father working with Caspian's father." James said.

"She never told me about that." Lily replied.

"Well you know Michelle; she doesn't like to speak about things regarding her mother." James said. Lily nodded her head in agreement. "Now Lily, would you like to dance? I wouldn't mind being the envy of every man in this room for a while." James said with one of his famous grins.

"And I wouldn't mind being the envy of every woman." Lily said as she took James' outstretched hand. James led Lily onto the dance floor. Lily was having a great time and noticed that Michelle was back in the room looking much happier than before. She and Sirius were dancing together as was Caspian and Eve. Lily couldn't help noticing how happy Eve looked. Sure she looked happy when she was at Hogwarts but this was a different type of happiness, she looked right in Caspian's arms, she looked satisfied. James had told Lily a lot about Caspian. Lily had found out that he was an only child, an early graduate and was currently travelling the world hoping to gain more experience.

"He is a really nice guy." James was saying. "We met him when he came to visit Michelle a couple of years ago and since then we have all been good friends." James finished. Lily nodded. "Why do you want to know?" James asked curiously. He thought maybe Lily was falling for him but he was very wrong.

"I just want to know, especially if he is madly in love with your sister and she with him." Lily said. James' face dropped.

"He is not in love with my sister. He could get any girl he wanted. What would he want with my sister?" James said. Lily looked at him a small smile on her face.

"You could get any girl you wanted but what are you doing with me?" Lily asked, courage in her voice. She couldn't believe she just said that. But Michelle fortunately came and interrupted them at that moment.

"James your father is looking for you. And Lily, we most go join the ladies." Michelle grinned. James rolled his eyes.

"Why?" Lily asked curiously.

"They do this at every ball. My father stands with the men and discuses politics whilst my mother and the other ladies gossip and discuss clothes and gowns." James said.

"We do not gossip, we merely discuss the goings on of those around us." Michelle smiled. Lily laughed and followed Michelle over to the side of the room. There sat at a table were five women, three of them were Mrs. Potter, Lucy and Eve, the other two Lily did not know.

"James has got so handsome and grown up. I am sure you have a fight on your hands with the fathers who want their daughters to marry him and that also goes for Sirius." One of the women said. She was quiet old looking, maybe in her late fifties, early sixties. Her light brown hair was slowly fading and she had brilliant green eyes.

"Oh no Marigold. James and I have discussed that he will marry when ready and that I shan't force him to meet any young ladies. But I must say he doesn't need to meet anyone for the perfect match for him, he has already found her." Mrs. Potter said with a slight nod of her head.

"Oh mother, you know he will not be pleased with you for speaking of this." Eve said.

"Hush child. Who is this young lady you speak of?" The woman called Marigold asked. But before Mrs. Potter could speak Michelle and Lily sat down at the table, unknown of the topic of conversation.

"Ah Michelle, Lily please take a glass of home made cider. It is quite delicious. I'm sure you are both very thirsty with all the dancing you have been doing with the boys." Mrs. Potter said. Lily and Michelle smiled and took a glass of cider. Mrs. Potter then turned to the two ladies. "Marigold and Heather this is Lily Evans, the one I have been speaking off." Mrs. Potter said with a nod of her head. Marigold and the woman Heather understood. Heather was also quite old looking but was in her early fifties. She had black hair and brown eyes. "Lily, this Marigold Forsythe and Heather Whitten." Mrs. Potter introduced.

"It is very nice to meet you both." Lily replied. Marigold and Heather smiled at the young women. They could see why Mrs. Potter was so fond of her.

"Now Michelle, I hope Sirius is being a gentleman." Mrs. Potter said. Michelle blushed and smiled.

"Yes, he is, Mrs. Potter." Michelle said.

"Jane it was so nice of you and your family to take Sirius in like that. I have never liked his parents. They delve too far into the Dark Arts." Heather said with a scowl.

"Of course, Michael and I took him in. He is like a brother to James and he is so intelligent. Although, he and James can be mischievous at times." Mrs. Potter chuckled.

"Ah, I see Caspian is here." Marigold said as she looked towards the men on the other side of the room.

"Thank you Mrs. Potter for allowing Caspian to stay tonight. It was great being able to see him again." Michelle said, butting in.

"Don't thank me, dear. I am sure you are not the only who is happy to have him here, isn't that right Eve?" Mrs. Potter smiled at her.

"Mother!" Eve said blushing. They all laughed.

"Eve, he is quiet the catch. I must say every lady in the room, who is looking for a husband, is certainly hoping to catch his eye; if not his then either Sirius or James, but I am sure you ladies are keeping those at bay." Lucy said with a smile and a wink. The three girls blushed.

"Oh Jane look at that. Duncan Knight is here with his fifth wife, Yvonne. Poor Olivia, I always liked her." Marigold said looking towards an old man standing with a very young woman who only looked a few years older than Lily. The ladies went on gossiping.

Whilst all this was happening, James was with his father and several other people, including Sirius and Caspian.

"I agree with you Kieran, Voldermort's numbers are increasing." Mr. Potter was saying to a man with brown hair. They were all standing beside a bar area talking.

"Something has to be done about it. They didn't attack the Willow Hotel for anything." Kieran said. Mr. Potter looked at James then looked at Kieran.

"I agree. I have the Aurors working hard on the case." Mr. Potter said nodding his head.

"Enough of all this talk. This is meant to be a fun night." A man with black hair said. His name was Anthony.

"I agree. Did anyone see the England game against West Germany before Christmas?" A balding man asked. The babble continued like this for a while until a man with white hair and a slight beard spoke.

"I wonder who the seeker for the team is going to be. Vaughan is leaving in June and they need to be getting a good one." The man said. James hid his face in his drink and Sirius looked at the ground with a grin. Mr. Potter looked at James and tried to keep his face straight.

"They're going through many applicants Roger. I'm sure they'll have the best." Mr. Potter said.

"It's good that they aren't going to any of the clubs to get a seeker. They need to start fresh with a kid nobody would know." Anthony said. Sirius choked on his drink.

"Oh nobody will know him." Sirius said with a slight chuckle.

Meanwhile on the other side of the room the ladies were watching the men.

"Ladies I think I will go steal Sirius away from the men. I have something to ask him." Michelle said with a smile and nodded and made her way across the room. She put a hand on Sirius' arm.

"I'm sorry to interrupt gentlemen. But I was wondering if I could possibly steal this dashing young man away for a moment?" Michelle asked batting her eyelashes and putting on a huge smile.

"Don't be making my wee girl sick with twirling her so much now, Sirius." Michelle's father, Alex, said with a chuckle.

"Daddy!" Michelle said with a laugh.

"Of course not Mr. Warrington." Sirius smiled. He then took Michelle's hand and led her onto the dance floor.

"I think I will go ask Lily to dance. I don't want her to get bored by Mother's gossiping." James laughed. He then headed towards Lily. Mr. Potter eyed his son then looked at Caspian.

"Now Caspian, I think it's time you and I had a talk." Mr. Potter said. Caspian gulped and Mr. Potter laughed. He then led Caspian out into the entrance hall.

Whilst this was happening Lily was talking to Mrs. Potter about her interview with Merlin.

"Oh, he is so nice." Lily was saying.

"That he is. I've known him a long time. And I must say he was very pleased with your work. He wouldn't leave me alone at the Marseille Conference." Mrs. Potter chuckled. "He was so delighted with your work he offered to create one. And I must say the dress looks lovely on you Lily." Mrs. Potter beamed. Lily smiled.

"Thank you, Mrs. Potter. I really must find a way to thank you for all of this." Lily said.

"Not at all, Lily. How many times do I have to tell you, you make him happy that is all that matters?" Mrs. Potter said indicating her head towards a young man walking towards them. Lily looked round to see James and smiled. She then looked back round and blushed as she seen all the women looking at her with smiles.

"Hello ladies." James politely. "I was wondering if I could possibly steal this beautiful young woman away for a while?" James asked grinning and looking at Lily. Mrs. Potter nodded her head and Lily stood up.

"Flattery will get you no where, James." Lily said to him. The ladies laughed.

"She certainly has you at bay, James." Marigold said with a chuckle.

"She does. But what is a man to do." James stated as he whisked Lily on to the dance floor. An upbeat tune was playing as Lily and James danced.

"So how are you enjoying the evening?" James asked. Lily smiled at him.

"I'm having a great time James." Lily beamed. James smiled. He then spun Lily around so she was facing the direction her back was to before.

"See the girl in a black kind of dress and her hair is up some kind of way?" James asked. Lily scanned the crowd then seen a group five girls standing and talking about something.

"Yeah?" Lily said looking away from the girls and looking at James.

"Well, the girl in the black is Eleanor Brooke. The girl in the green dress is Mackenzie Jackson. Her father is the head of the department of Magical Law Enforcement. Very high up in the Ministry." James said. "Eleanor's father works in the Auror Headquarters." James said. "They go to Drumstrang, very stuck up."

"You're nice." Lily chuckled. James shrugged.

The song ended and Lily and James clapped.

"James I've got to powder my nose. I'll not be long." Lily smiled then left the ballroom. When she was in the bathroom two girls came in.

"So who is this girl that James has been dancing with all night?" A voice said.

"I don't know. Sammy says her name is Lily Evans. She apparently is Head Girl at Hogwarts and the smartest of the lot." Another voice said. "Although Sammy can't understand why she is dancing with James considering they apparently hated each other when she left the school."

"Well, they don't seem to be hating each other by the looks on their faces." The other voice said.

"Oh Mackenzie, maybe things changed over time. People do change." The other voice said.

"Well I just hope James hasn't changed since the last time I was with him." Mackenzie chuckled.

"Mackenzie!" The other voice said but was laughing.

"Oh, like you didn't like it when you were with him Eleanor." Mackenzie said.

"Well it's not something you can forget." Eleanor said with a slight chuckle.

"So, what all did Sammy say about this Lily?" Mackenzie asked.

"Just she attended Hogwarts; her father is very successful. He is part owner in some Muggle Law Firm." Eleanor replied.

"Oh so she is a muggle? He'll not be with her for long. You know his family are Purebloods, nothing but the best will suit them." Mackenzie said. Then there were giggles and the sound of the bathroom door leaving. Lily opened her cubicle door and looked at herself in the mirror. A single tear was streaming down her cheek. She quickly fixed her face then left the bathroom. When she got out of the bathroom and into the entrance hall she saw Caspian standing there alone. Lily smiled at him.

"Hello." She said politely.

"Hey." He replied looking up at her.

"Are you okay?" Lily asked looking at him. He looked very distracted and worried about something.

"Umm yeah...no not really." Caspian confessed with a small smile.

"You want to talk?" Lily offered.

"Not really, actually." Caspian chuckled. "You want to go for a walk? It's really stuffy in here and these kind of formal engagements make me nervous." Caspian said loosening the top of his robes he was wearing. Lily smiled and nodded. They walked outside and around the garden. It was strangely a very warm night. Lily figured the Potters had put a warming spell on the area around the house for later that evening so everyone could go outside and watch the fireworks. The garden was very beautiful. There were several rose bushes and other kind of flowers. Caspian looked at Lily and smiled.

"So I hear your Head Girl at your school." Caspian said.

"Yeah. But it's not as big an achievement as graduating at 14." Lily smiled. Caspian shrugged, He had his hands in his pockets and looked very handsome under the half moon light. But Lily wasn't physically attracted to him, not the way she was with James

"I would've rather gone to Hogwarts than the private tutoring that I got." Caspian said.

"Did you not enjoy it?" Lily asked, she had her arms crossed and had turned her head to look at him. Caspian looked at her.

"Oh I did. My tutor is now a very close companion to me but he was all I had when I lived in Indonesia. I wasn't allowed to associate with the natives because I was 'different' than them." Caspian said, bowing his head low.

"You were a wizard, they were muggles." Lily said looking away from him and looked at the garden.

"I don't mean that in a prejudiced way. It's just that there aren't many wizards of my age there and I just have to keep my head down. I was there for three years and I managed to cram seven years of work into it." Caspian said.

"So you didn't make many friends there?" Lily asked softly.

"Not many. It can make a person very lonely only seeing the same person for three years. But it was all worth it because I get to meet all kinds of people now." Caspian smiled. Lily noticed that he had a very handsome smile that could light up a room, but she knew it was put on.

"What have you been doing then for the past four years of your life?" Lily asked.

"I have been travelling the world." Caspian said as if it was nothing.

"On your own?" Lily asked her eyes wide with shock. Caspian chuckled.

"Oh no. I may have graduated early but my parents still don't trust me. Up until I was sixteen I travelled with my tutor. Then I went on my own." Caspian said.

"What kind of places did you go too?" Lily asked.

"I've been all over. I've been to South Africa, America, China, Japan, New Zealand, and just places like that." Caspian said as if it were nothing.

"Wow. I'd love to be able to travel the world. It's always been a dream of mine." Lily said with a smile on her face.

"Yeah? What place do you most want to visit?" Caspian asked interestedly.

"I know this sounds strange but the place that intrigues me the most is France. I've been a load of times when I was a kid with my family, but it's just a place I would love to spend a year in." Lily said with a pensive smile. Caspian smiled.

"It is a beautiful place. Have you ever visited the old part of Paris?" Caspian asked Lily. Lily looked at him and shook her head.

"It's where the Sacré Coeur is." Caspian explained. Lily understood now. She chuckled.

"I understand now. I always called that the Artists Canvas." Lily said. Caspian looked at her quizzically causing Lily to smile.

"Just before you walk up the hill to the Sacré Coeur there is a square were all these artists are. About fifty of them are crammed into this tiny little court area. My mum always said that a picture drawn there would only say one word 'dedicated'." Lily chuckled, as did Caspian.

"Well they would be 'dedicated' if they were crammed into that tiny square." Caspian said.

"Every time I went to Paris, I've only been three times; I would beg my mum to take me there. I would sit on a bench outside one of the cafés and watch, as the artists would coax people into sitting for them. I think that's actually how I got my interest in fashion actually." Lily said inclining her head. Caspian looked at her.

"How's that?" He asked.

I would see the most beautiful people walking by wearing the most ugliest of clothing and to me it made them look ugly. As I have been brought up to always try and look good, I took pride in my appearance. But my dress sense got kind of extraordinary for Muggle clothes. So I would draw fabulous ball gowns that I would one day wear to a ball and that one person would look at me and say 'She may not have the prettiest face but she looks beautiful in that dress." Lily smiled. She talked with so much passion and love in her voice that she did not realise that she had just made a friend for life with Caspian.

"Is that one of your ball gowns?" Caspian asked looking her up and down. Lily blushed and nodded. "Then I would say that day has come for you, Lily. However the people are saying, 'She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and her dress just compliments her even more.'" Caspian smiled at her.

"Thank you Caspian." Lily said. They were unaware of eyes following there every move from an upstairs window.

"We better get back inside." Lily said.

"You can't stay away from James for that long, can you?" Caspian chuckled. Lily blushed and smiled.

"No not really." Lily said.

"When we get inside would you mind if we danced? I have to make an appearance of dancing at least once with one other person than Eve. Just so it doesn't become suspicious." Caspian grinned.

"I'd love to dance with you Caspian. And I'm going to ignore the last part and take it that you actually do want to dance with me." Lily said with an amused smile.

"Of course I want to dance with you Lil." Caspian smiled. Lily stopped in her tracks and looked at him.

"Okay as we only met, I will spare you the pain that every other person would get. Please don't call me 'Lil' that right is reserved to only one other person. I don't want to seem rude." Lily said with a small smile. Caspian smiled.

"I understand. I hate when people call me 'Casp'. It just irritates me. I hate my name as it is and it sounds even worse when you shorten it." Caspian chuckled.

"I like your name." Lily said as they started to walk back towards the house.

"Yours isn't from a book that is known all over the world." Caspian said. Lily shrugged.

"I still like it." Lily said defiantly. When they entered the ballroom they danced to a relatively fast song. When the song ended Sirius and Michelle sauntered up to them.

"Lily, would you like to dance?" Sirius asked. Lily smiled and took his arm.

"Now Sirius, be gentle with Lily. I'm sure James wants her back in one piece." Michelle chuckled.

"I'm always gentle, Michelle." Sirius winked. Michelle rolled her eyes then led Caspian away as Lily and Sirius started to dance.

"So were did you and Caspian go off to?" Sirius asked trying to be casual.

"Oh, the garden." Lily replied shortly. Sirius eyed her but Lily didn't notice she was to busy looking around the ballroom.

"What did you guys do?" Sirius asked a bit to eagerly. Lily looked at him.

"We talked. He was telling me about his travels. They sound so exciting." Lily smiled.

"You know it isn't right to lead James on like this." Sirius said suddenly. Lily looked at him her eyebrows furrowed.

"What?" Lily asked in shock.

"James. You're leading him on." Sirius said.

"What makes you say that?" Lily asked

"Well you're going to end this thing you guys have, aren't you?" Sirius asked. Lily laughed.

"No. Who told you such a ridiculous thing?" Lily asked.

"James. He told me last night that you needed to talk to him and he figured you were ending everything." Sirius said looking at her. "Are you?" Sirius asked.

"No." Lily smiled. "I want the complete opposite. I want to be with James, I know that now." Lily said, slightly blushing. Sirius broke into a grin.

"Well go tell him then." Sirius said pulling away from her.

"Where is he?" Lily asked looking around the room. Sirius shrugged.

"I got to go tell Michelle." He said before walking away. Lily spied Mr. and Mrs. Potter and decided to ask them if they knew were James was. Lily walked over to them; Mr. Potter smiled at her.

"Hello, Lily." Mr. Potter said graciously. "Are you having a nice time?" He asked. Lily smiled and nodded her head.

"Very much so." Lily said genuinely. "But I have however misplaced my dancing partner." Lily chuckled.

"How on earth you ever got my son to dance, I have no idea." Mrs. Potter smiled. "He never liked these social affairs. He is more inclined to those discos young people seem to like these days." The three chuckled at this. Mr. Potter then looked at his watch.

"Ah, it is a few minutes past eleven." Mr. Potter said. "He usually wanes around this time." He chuckled.

"I think he will be in the music room Lily. And when you find him tell him we shall be making our way out into the garden as midnight nears." Mrs. Potter smiled. Lily smiled and nodded her head then left the ballroom. She walked up the grand staircase and turned left, as she knew the family area was on that side of the house. As she searched many rooms, the music from the ballroom faded and a piano could be heard near by. Lily walked towards the music and opened a door that it was coming from. She slipped in without the player realising it. The room was large with pine wooden floors and large windows, which was nearly the length of the wall. White drapes adorned the window and the walls were a light lilac colour. There was a large mirror above a vacant fireplace and the only musical instrument in the room was the grand piano. The piano player was playing a very beautiful version of Satie's Gymnopédies. When the player finished Lily clapped her hands and smiled wildly as James spun around and looked at her in shock.

"I didn't know you could play." Lily said moving towards him.

"Uh I...I don't." Lily tilted her head and rolled her eyes.

"James you shouldn't be ashamed of that. It was beautiful." Lily said. "Why didn't you ever tell me you played the piano?" Lily asked tilting her head.

"It's not something I like to brag about." James said modestly. "Plus I hate it." James shrugged.

"I don't know, I think you're very good." Lily replied with a smile. James shrugged.

"It was Eve's choice so I had to do it as well. She had to go to Quidditch with me, it was kind of trade." James chuckled. Lily sat down on the piano bench beside him. James got of the bench and walked over to the window. Lily looked at his back. He had his hands in his pockets and the top of his robes was unbuttoned.

"Did you have a nice walk with Caspian?" James asked. There was no emotion in his voice and Lily knew this wasn't a good sign.

"Yes. He is a very interesting person. He told me about his travels and it sounds so exciting. Eve is a very lucky girl." Lily said standing up. James turned round and looked at her and looked at her oddly.

"Why is Eve lucky? I thought you two were getting along very well." James said looking at the ground.

"Oh we are. Just not the way you and Sirius are thinking." Lily said with a small smile. James looked at her.

"But you both seem to have the same interests." James said.

"Yeah we do. But how boring could that be? I mean we may like the same things but the conversation would get boring after a while. I couldn't see myself having a good debate with him about which subject was better. We'd probably both pick Charms." Lily said slowly walking towards James.

"Transfiguration is the best." James said. Lily grinned.

"See. How could I possibly enjoy agreeing on everything? It's just not me." Lily said. She was barely a foot away from James. She moved closer to him. "And plus I'm kind of involved with someone." Lily said barely above a whisper. James looked into her eyes. Lily smiled as they moved closer together. James was just about to lean down and kiss her when music started. They both looked round the room they saw nothing but a piece of paper on the piano. James walked over and read it.

I thought that perhaps some music would be needed.

James smiled at his fathers scrawled handwriting. He turned to Lily.

"Will you dance with me?" He asked. Lily smiled and walked towards him. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he placed his arms around her waist.

I shouldn't be alone with you tonight

Desire was too strong to put up a fight

I don't understand the way I feel

Although it feels so right

I really shouldn't be...

Here tonight

In your eyes there's a sign of intensity

I sense an atmosphere

No need to hide from the way you feel inside

There's nothing left to fear

If only for tonight

(Don't be a stranger)

I wanna take this chance

Risk it all for you

Knowing what I'm gonna do

If only for tonight

(Don't be a stranger)

I want it all from you

Tonight

Lily and James gazed into each other's eyes. The song reflected how one of them was feeling. That person was fighting every bit of loyalty not to kiss the other. They swayed to the music.

You're on my mind all of the time

I really shouldn't stay with you tonight

But the more and more I think of you

The more it just seems right

That's why I shouldn't be...

Here tonight

Now I find out I know who I really am

I'm lost without a trace

So take me high, don't you know when or how you know?

Then help me if you can

If only for tonight

(Don't be a stranger)

I wanna take this chance

Risk it all for you

Knowing what I'm gonna do

If only for tonight

(Don't be a stranger)

I want it all from you

Tonight

James didn't care anymore. He wanted Lily more than ever. Remus could sod off, James loved Lily and that was all that mattered, right now. He leaned down and kissed her passionately. He edged his tongue into her mouth, as he pulled her closer to him. Lily was enjoying the sensation of James' tongue caressing her own. A low moan came from the back of her throat. James' hands roamed up and down her back as Lily ran her hands through his hair.

Now I don't know it

I'm in too deep, to say no

Oh, be close

Don't let me go

I wanna take this chance

Risk it all for you

It's what I'm gonna do

If only for tonight

(Don't be a stranger)

I wanna take this chance

Risk it all for you

Knowing what I'm gonna do

If only for tonight

(Don't be a stranger)

I want it all from you

Tonight

As the song ended Lily and James were kissing like they needed each other to survive instead of air. James was about to unzip Lily's dress when someone walked into the room. The coughed loudly and James and Lily jumped apart. James ran a hand through his hair as he seen his sister and Caspian standing there. They were both standing there with grins on their faces as Lily blushed.

"Opps sorry didn't mean to interrupt something. Mum told me to tell you not to forget a warm jacket Lily, and not to forget James either. But I see you have found him. We'll just leave." Eve said as she left the room. James sighed and shook his head.

"What is the deal with people interrupting us?" James asked mainly to himself. Lily smiled then took his hand.

"Let's go to my room so we can be alone." Lily said. Lily then led him out of the room. James put his arms around her waist as they walked and started to kiss her neck from behind her. Lily closed her eyes as the sensation of James' lips on her skin overwhelmed her. Lily ran a hand through James' hair as he did this. A good while later they reached Lily's room. They had stopped a few times to kiss. As they rounded the corner they didn't even notice two people who were standing outside Michelle's room, which was just a bit down the corridor from Lily's. Michelle and Sirius stared in amazement. Sirius had his arm around Michelle's waist as Michelle had her hands on the side of his arms. Lily and James stopped outside their door and started kissing passionately. Lily's hand tried to find the door handle as James' kiss made her loose all sense. She finally got the door open and led James inside. Sirius and Michelle still stood in shock. They then looked at each and broke into wild grins.

"Do you think they're back together?" Sirius asked.

"I hope so." Michelle smiled. "Come let's go down to the gardens. It will be a bit suspicious if all four of us are away at the same time." Michelle said taking his hand leading him away from her room. Sirius groaned. "I promise we'll be alone later." Michelle said to him. Sirius perked up at this.

Meanwhile in Lily's room. Lily and James were kissing now and making their way towards the bed. Lily sat down on the bed and James stood kissing her. He then moved his mouth to her cheek then down to her neck. Lily took off James's robe as he did this and threw it on the floor. James' hands roamed up and down Lily's back and found her zip. He pulled away from her and unzipped her dress. He started to kiss her shoulder as he pushed the thin straps away. Lily started to pull at James' shirt. Suddenly a thought came to James' head.

What am I doing?

Am I actually going to have sex with Lily?

Does she really want to do this?

What would happen after we had sex would everything be weird?

Is it the right thing to do? After all it is her first time.

Another voice came to mind. It was Remus.

See if you tried anything on her I swear I'll kill you!

Don't you go fucking near her!

I'm not going to let you play Lily like you do everyone else

What was James doing? He had promised not to go near Lily. He had to be loyal to his best friend. He had to. This wasn't the time to let his raging hormones take over. He had to do the right thing. James pulled away from Lily just as she unbuttoned his last shirt button. Lily sat up and looked at James.

"Lily we can't do this." James said. Without any further word he picked up his robe and left the room. Lily felt hot tears come to her eyes. What the hell just happened? Was James not interested in her? Was he actually with Ashley? How could he do this to her after the way he kissed her? He had just led her on. Tears rolled down Lily's cheek.

When James got to his room he closed the door and banged his head up against it. What the fuck was he doing? He just ran away from the girl he loved because he had to be loyal to his friend. Was he crazy? One side of him was screaming YES! Whilst the other said 'You could've let her down a little more gently.' James slid down his door and put his head in his hands. He knew this night wasn't going to turn out good.

Meanwhile out in the garden, Michelle, Sirius, Eve and Caspian were waiting for the count down to begin.

"I wonder if Lily and James will make it down?" Eve asked with a grin.

"I don't think so. Last we saw of them they were making out furiously and walking into Lily's room." Michelle whispered. Eve giggled.

"I hope they are back together." Eve smiled. "Maybe things are going to start going okay for them now. Especially since it is a New Year and a new start for everyone." Eve said looking at Caspian. Caspian smiled and put an arm around her.

"Let's hope so." Sirius said as he pulled Michelle closer to him.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sirius kissed Michelle as Caspian kissed Eve much to the shock of most people. But who cared it was a New Year and a new beginning just as Eve had said. But to Lily and James the start of the New Year wasn't going as well as had planned. Lily sat on the window seat and watched as the fireworks decorated the night's sky. Less than an hour ago she thought that she would be on the arms of the man she loved right now. Whilst James thought he would at least be standing with his friends and family celebrating instead of sitting in his room trying to make himself believe what he had done was the right thing.
