Here's your update!!
FYI: I changed the summary, but I'm too lazy to change it on the other chapters. I think this summary fits it better. The old summary was when I was just gonna have it be the dance.
Now, all my Portkey Peeps, you are all caught up to Fanfiction Fanatics, (lol I like those) so don't expect as many updates. I update about every 5 days. Sometime I update less than 5 days; sometimes it takes longer than 5 days.
I don't care what my new English teacher says, I'm NOT putting another "s" on the end of James', it looks STUPID Mr. Brauns!!!!!
CHAPTER TWELVE: James' Plan
Lily walked to the Gryffindor Common Room, still grinning. She walked through the portrait hole and noticed James in the corner working with Remus.
"Why such the big smile Miss Evans?" Megan asked.
"Me and James kissed," Lily said.
"Ooh! Really? It's about time," Megan said.
"Where were you?" Haley asked.
"We were in the Head's Common, dancing -" Lily said.
"Dancing? Ooh," Megan said.
"Yes, dancing. I was teaching him how to dance because we have to open the dance this Friday with a slow song," Lily said. "It's tradition," Lily explained after seeing their confused faces.
"Oh, sure," Haley said.
"I'm serious," Lily said.
"So how was it?" Megan asked.
"How was what?" Lily asked.
"The kiss!" Megan and Haley said a little loud. Remus and James looked over at them.
"Shh!" Lily said, glancing over at James. Remus tapped James on the shoulder and they turned back around.
"So? How was it?" Haley asked.
"It was really nice," Lily said.
"Just really nice?" Megan asked.
"Well, what do you want me to say?" Lily said.
"That it was perfect? The best kiss ever; that you're in love and you want to kiss him everyday for the rest of your life," Megan said.
"That it was mind-blowing, the angels sang, the ground moved, there were fireworks everywhere, anything," Haley offered.
"All of the above," Lily said.
"Even the love part?" Megan asked.
"I don't know, maybe," Lily said, smiling and shrugging.
"I always knew you'd give him a chance someday," Haley said.
"Even when he was being a really big jerk to me, you still thought we'd be together someday?" Lily said.
"Well, I thought you'd give him a chance, like one date or something," Haley said.
"And you've given him a little bit more," Megan said.
"Be quiet," Lily said, playfully pushing Megan in the arm.
"What? You noticed his change," Megan said.
"Yeah, he's nicer now. I like it," Lily said.
"And he likes that you like it," Haley said, smiling.
"And you have to admit, it was kinda sweet how he kept after you after all these years," Megan said.
"Yeah, it was, sometimes. Sometimes it was a royal pain though," Lily said.
"How he would follow you everywhere, want to carry your books . . ." Haley drifted off. "It was almost stalking."
"It was like right on the line," Lily said.
"So if he asks you to the dance, you'll say yes?" Megan asked.
"No," Lily said.
"What?" Megan said.
Why not?" Haley asked.
"Because we're going together already," Lily said. "Like, as friends I guess."
"He's doing something special for you at the dance," Megan said.
"What?" Haley said.
"What's he doing?" Lily said.
"I don't know," Megan said. "I just know he's doing something."
"Ooh!" Haley said.
"And it's something really special and . . . he's gonna give up on you if you don't like it after the dance," Megan said.
"He's gonna give up on me?" Lily asked. "Even though we're going to the dance together?"
"Yeah," Megan said. "So you have to make sure you like it."
"She probably will. I mean, she doesn't want James to give up on her does she?" Haley said.
"No she does not," Megan said. "Am I right Lily?"
"Right," Lily said.
"So we just have to wait and see what he does?" Haley said.
"Yep," Megan said.

"So, did anything happen with you and Lily?" Remus asked when they got done with homework.
"Yeah," James said. "We kissed."
"You snogged her?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah," James said.
"Is that why you were late?" Remus said.
"Yep," James said.
"Was there tongue?" Sirius asked. Remus hit Sirius upside the head. "Ow! What?!"
"Maybe James doesn't want to tell you that," Remus said.
"What are you talking about? Of course Prongs want to tell us. We're best friends!" Sirius said.
"Sirius, maybe he doesn't want to jeopardize he relationship with Lily so early," Remus said.
"But I just wanna know if there was any tongue in the kiss," Sirius said.
"No, okay? There was no tongue, Padfoot," James said, quietly.
Sirius looked disappointed.
"Sorry, buddy," James said. "Next time I'll remember to tell her I have to stick my tongue down her throat because you want a good story." James looked over at Lily, wondering if she would even let him do that.
"I'm sensing sarcasm," Sirius said. Remus hit him again. "Ow! Moony! Quit hitting me!"
"Then quit being stupid," Remus said.
"That hurt," Sirius said.
"So when are you asking her to the dance, Prongs?" Remus asked. James looked back at them.
"Uh," James exhaled. "I'm . . . not."
Sirius' jaw dropped. "What?" Remus said.
"I'm not asking her to the dance," James said.
"Why not?!" Sirius said.
"Because she asked me . . . sort of," James said.
"She asked you?!" Sirius asked astounded.
"Sort of," James said, looking over at Lily again.
"Would you have asked her?" Remus asked.
"No, because, we're playing and I wrote all those songs to win her over," James said. "And this plan was better than any of Sirius' `brilliant' plans."
"Hey! I resemble that!" Sirius said, not knowing what he was saying.
Remus rolled his eyes; he of course knew what Sirius was saying.
"Am I not right, Moony?" James said.
"You're right," Remus said.
"But now, we're going together but more as friends. So, I still have to woo her," James said. (A/N: I love that, "woo her")
"`Woo her'? What does `woo her' mean?" Sirius asked.
"Sirius, shut up," Remus said.
"Not until I find out what `woo her' means," Sirius said.
