Disclaimer- Everyone and their brother has done this, so I cannot claim the plot. JK owns the characters and situations. All I own is the spoofitization of the songs.
A/N- I have a million of these, but EEK cannot find the folder they are in. Good thing I keep making up more. Basically, the Harry Potter gang use songs to express their feelings all throughout the series.

Here's To The Night -- Eve 6
by Remus
HPHPHPHPHPHP
Remus opened the door of his house to see Albus Dumbledore standing there looking very grave. "Remus, I'm afraid I have some bad news." he took a deep breath, then said it. "Lily and James are dead. Sirius sold them to Voldemort."
The Marauder staggered back unsteadily, before sinking into a chair. "W-Why?"
"It is my belief that he was the spy for this past year. But that's not all, Remus. Peter went after him, and cornered him, crying. Went to curse him, and Sirius--" the Headmaster clenched his jaw briefly; it was very difficult to stand there and tell a man that his friends had been killed at the hands of another. "Sirius killed him. All they found," he said gently, "was his finger."
After the Headmaster left, Remus lifted his hollow face and said, "For you, Sirius," before he started to sing.
"So denied
So you lied
Always the now or never kind
Within a day, now
I'll be alone, for good this time
Never willing to be had
You weren't cool with just that night
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well.
--
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears we knew we'd cry
Here's to good-bye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
--
Put your name
On the line
Along with place and time
Want you to stay
Not to go
Want to ditch the logical
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well.
--
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears we knew we'd cry
Here's to good-bye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
--
All my time is frozen motion
Can't you stay an hour or two or more
Don't let me let you go
Don't let me let you go
--
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well.
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears we knew we'd cry
Here's to good-bye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
Too soon
--
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears we knew we'd cry
Here's to good-bye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon."

In case it was unclear, most of the verses were about how Remus does not want to believe Sirius killed them, he wants to be proven wrong, wants Sirius to be innocent (good thing he got his wish!) As for the chorus, "the nights we felt alive" were the full moons at Hogwarts, and the tears were for when the Marauders were broken.
I hope you enjoyed it, I love that song. I will put more of these up periodically as I write and type them. Maybe EEK will even find the folder the ones I already wrote are in!
