CHAPTER ELEVEN: Dancing and More
"So, Lily, you know that you and me have to open the dance, right?" James asked Lily the next day at breakfast.
"Yeah, I know," Lily said. "Do you know how to dance?" Lily said so only James could hear.
"Yes," James lied. "Well, no . . . but, how hard could it be?"
Lily rolled her eyes. "It's harder than it looks."
"How hard could it be?" James said again.
"Very, when your partner keeps stepping on your feet," Lily said.
"Point taken," James said.
"Thank you," Lily said and went back to eating.
"So teach me," James whispered softly in her ear. Lily shivered.
Lily turned her head, their faces were centimeters away. "What?" she said softly.
"Teach me to dance. That way I won't step on your feet," James said.
Sirius looked over at them. "Oy! Prongs, we're trying to eat here!"
"Um, okay. I guess I could," Lily said, ignoring Sirius.
James smiled. "Great." Lily thought he was going to kiss her.
"Meet me in our Common Room after dinner," Lily said.
"Okay," James said. "Lily," James looked down. "You smell really nice."
Lily blushed. "Um, thanks," she said.
Sirius got up and stood right behind Lily and James. He pulled their heads apart. "Some of us are trying to eat here."
"You really know how to ruin a moment, ya know, Padfoot?" James said.
"Sirius, come one," Megan said, taking his hand and walking out of the Great Hall.

"Remus, I need help with my History of Magic essay will you help me?" James asked Remus at lunch.
"Prongs, we all know you need help and acceptance is the first step," Sirius said.
"Ha-ha very funny," James said to Sirius. He turned back to Remus. "So will you help me?"
"Sure," Remus said, "Meet me in the Common Room at 7:30."
"Okay," James said.

After dinner a nervous James walked to the Head's Common Room ready to meet Lily. His palms started sweating and he didn't know why. He wiped them on his jeans. Why was he so nervous? He was just meeting Lily for help on dancing. He exhaled and walked through the portrait hole.
"Hi James," Lily said. She smiled at him.
James swallowed. "Hi."
"Okay well we'll be dancing the waltz, so . . ." Lily said. James nodded. "The waltz is pretty simple."
"Okay," James said.
Lily flicked her wand and slow music started playing.
"It's really easy, you just make a box," Lily said. James looked confused. "Here, let me show you." She took his hands in hers showing him how to position himself. "Now, step forward."
James did as he was told.
"Now you hold it for a 1-2-3 count," Lily said.
"Okay," James said, watching their feet.
"Now you move left, and hold for 3," Lily said. "Now go back -"
"And hold for 3," James said, looking up at her and smiling.
"Yeah. You're catching on," Lily said. "Now step right. And that's what I mean by `making a box'."
"Yeah, now I get it," James said. "And you're right, it is easy."
"Did you just call me right?" Lily said, as they continued dancing.
"I believe I did," James said
"I feel so special," Lily said.
"You are," James said.
Lily sighed and dropped her arms. "James."
What did I do now? James thought. How could I have messed it up this time?
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that," James said.
"No, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that I ran away in the kitchens," Lily said.
"I think you made up for it in the kiss at breakfast," James said, smiling.
"Yeah, well, they were really bugging me," Lily said.
"Well, whatever your reason, I'm glad you did it," James said, softly, moving his head closer to hers.
"Yeah . . . me too," Lily said, matching his tone, and moving her head closer to his also.
Their lips touched. Fireworks went off. The earth moved. They both felt something big. Lily felt her knees get weak and her heart flutter. James had never felt like this from any other kiss from any other girl. Lily was not any other girl.
Lily snaked her arms around his neck. James wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing her closer to him and deepening the kiss. Their mouths played with each others. She ran her fingers through his messy black hair.
They broke apart slowly when the need for oxygen became apparent. They looked at each other, breathing heavily. There was the smallest smile playing on James' mouth.
"That was . . ." James broke off.
Lily swallowed. "Yeah," she said, softly.
James looked at the clock. 7:37. He let go of Lily. "I'm sorry, I have to meet Remus in the Gryffindor Common Room to get help on some homework," he said.
"Oh, okay," Lily said.
Lily didn't know if he was telling the truth. For all she knew, he could be running out on her like she did to him. Did he feel what she felt from that kiss?
James walked to the door and left Lily to ponder in her thoughts.
Lily smiled. She just snogged James Potter. She had to go tell Haley and Megan about this. Fast.
