CHAPTER FIFTEEN: DECORATNG
Friday after lunch, all afternoon classes were cancelled so people could get ready for the dance. Why, you ask would they need over 6 hours to get ready. To find the answer all you have to do, is talk to any girl who wears a lot of make up. She will tell you that it is a long process.
Classes were also cancelled so that the Great Hall could be decorated. After lunch, the prefects, Lily, and James stayed in the Great Hall with all the decorations. Everyone was given their assignments and went to work. James, of course, put him and Lily working together.
"So, James," Lily said.
"Yeah?" James called up to Lily who was standing on a ladder.
"I have to admit, I thought this idea would turn out really bad," Lily confessed.
"Really?" James said.
"Yeah," Lily said. "But I'm glad I'm wrong."
"Really?" James asked.
"Yeah, it's a really good idea," Lily said.
"Thank you," James said.
"Hand me that box of streamer would ya?" Lily asked James.
James let go of the ladder and bent down to pick up the box of streamers for Lily.
"Hey James," someone called. "Toss me that tape?"
James turned and tossed the tape to the person, bumping up against the ladder on accident.
Lily wobbled. "James!"
James turned around quickly. He tried to steady the ladder but that only made Lily lose her grip. She slipped off the ladder. Luckily, none of the decorations tore as she fell. A little scream escaped her mouth.
James caught her before she hit the ground. He held her sort of like a groom would as he carries his bride over the threshold.
"Oh, thanks James," Lily said, blushing.
"No problem," James said, putting her down.
Lily climbed back on the ladder a little shaky this time. "Don't let go this time."
"I won't, I promise," James said.
"Swear?" Lily asked.
"Swear," James said. "I'll hold on like my life depended on it."
"Good," Lily said, and finished hanging her part of the decorations. "Okay, I'm coming down."
"I still have hold, don't worry," James said.
"Good," Lily said as she came down the ladder.
"I guess it's my turn," James said.
"Yep, you know where you're hanging everything right?" Lily asked him.
James started climbing the ladder. "Yeah."
"Are you positive?" Lily said, teasing.
"Nope, I just forgot," James said.
"Get up there," Lily said. "And I, unlike you, will not hit the ladder and make you fall."
"I would hope not!" James said. "You won't be able to catch me, sweet heart."
"You think your soo funny," Lily said.
"I don't think, I know," James said.
"Yeah, and your not cocky at all," Lily said, rolling her eyes.
"Say sweet thang what do you say when your done you come up to my room?" a male voice said behind Lily. Someone wrapped their arms around her waist.
"Leave her alone scum bag. She's mine," James said, smiling slightly.
"Sirius! Let me go!" Lily said.
"Aw, what gave it away?" Sirius asked.
"Your voice," Lily said.
"I said, leave her alone scum bag," James said, coming down the ladder.
"James," Lily said.
"Who are you calling scum bag, loser?" Sirius said.
Lily rolled her eyes and smiled at the boys' stupidity. "Guys, don't fight."
"All I was trying to do was show this nice girl a good time," Sirius said.
"She has me for that, right Lily Flower?" James said.
"Of course James," Lily said, rolling her eyes.
"See?" James said.
"Well you know where to go if you really want to have a good time," Sirius teased.
"Why would I go to you?" James asked.
"Not you stupid head! Lily!" Sirius said.
"Lily is content with staying right where she is," James said.
"How do you know?" Lily asked.
James' mouth dropped, but he collected himself quickly. "Because I know you'd never do that to one of your best friends. Ha!"
"Okay, ya got me," Lily said.
"'Course I do, you're too good for any of the other guys here," James said, winking at her.
"Aw, that's sweet, Prongs," Sirius said. "But Lily's too smart to fall for something like that."
"That is sweet," Lily said.
"Will you guys get back to work and stop flirting with each other?" Remus said, coming over to them. "What's Sirius doing here?"
"I am hurt Moony!" Sirius said, pretending to be hurt. "Do you not want me here?"
"Drama queen," Remus said.
"I thought only girls could be queens," Sirius said, tagging along with Remus on whatever Remus was doing.
"So, I'd say we got a lot of work done today," Lily said.
"Really?" James asked, looking around at a half decorated room, confused.
"Okay, so not a lot but some," Lily said.
"Agreed, and they aren't done yet. Soon Cinderella will arrive at the Grand Ball," James said. "Soon, the place won't even look the same."
"So I'm Cinderella am I?" Lily asked.
"Oh course," James said.
"Why Cinderella?" Lily said.
"Because it's the only fairy tale I know, and because I'm Prince Charming," James said.
"Well Cinderella will meet Prince Charming tomorrow in the Gryffindor Common Room at 6," Lily said.
"Sounds good," James said.
"Good," Lily said.
"It's a date then," James said.
"You'll get your kiss then," Lily said.
James looked confused.
"I don't kiss on first dates, remember?" Lily said.
Yes, now he remembered. He grinned. He couldn't wait for the dance.
Neither could the rest of Hogwarts.
