Summary
"How about a dance," James's voice poured into her ear like honey.
James's hand slid from her shoulder to her hand, holding it firmly so she couldn't escape— or go curse Slughorn, which had crossed her mortified mind as they walked to the dance floor. People parted for them, their curious glances slipping from her to James, handsome and confident as he stopped in front of her and formally offered his hand in invitation.
Lily was flushed with emotion: embarrassment from the obvious attention; longing for being close to James; pain from being close enough to see the tightness in his gestures, the distance in his gold flecked eyes. Her lip threatened to tremble, her heart thundered, and for a few fragile moments, her body refused to move. But she took his hand, felt him place his other around her waist, and let herself be carried off.
Or - at the end of the war five years ago, Lily Evans was a hollow shell of herself... So she left, without saying goodbye. Now she's back, amidst magical England's finest- and of course James Potter is up to something...
