James held out a finger slightly waggily. Dare. DOUBLE DOG DARE, he declared. Remus looked up from his book on the bed. He would never join in their shenanigans. He looked over at Peter,who was attempting to get through one bottle of whiskey. Poor little rat. He chuckled at the little joke in his head.
Sirius grinned. Ah,a double dog dare,you say? Well,this single dog will dare you to...Sing a song to Miss Lily Evans at breakfast in the Great Hall tomorrow, he said evilly.
James jumped,his eyes widening. Even Remus put his book down on his lap for this one. The poor bloke. Sirius was just being cruel,and James should know better than to actually obey the dare.
But knowing the Marauders...You couldn t do that,and get away with it.
I...But...Anything else,Sirius,PLEASE, James pleaded,clapping his hands together as if in prayer. His hair looked even crazier with his demented face under it. And his crooked glasses seemed a little more crooked.
The handsome man shook his head. I don t think so,Prongs. You sing her a song. Or you are a pussy, he said,grinning evilly.
James froze. I...am NOT...a pussy, he declared.
Peter and Remus started laughing,not able to control it. Sirius loved when people laughed at something he had caused. He crossed his arms in satisfaction,and smirked.
FINE, James said,flopping on the bed. I ll do it. But I have to think of the words to say...So sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The next morning,after staying up all night and staring at the pitch black ceiling,James finally got up. He had his song ready. And he was jittery.
He put on his uniform,neatly for once. The tightened expertly,his hair as smooth as it could get. Sirius was far more than amused,same went for the other two boys. But James was ready to slug anyone who spoke to him at the moment.
He strutted into the Great Hall,seeing Lily in all of her beautiful perfection. Her red hair up in a bun at the nape of her neck...Her long,pale legs showing under her plaid skirt,perfectly ironed. He sighed happily,then remembered the task at hand. He had to SING to this angel. He started to shake a little,but Sirius shoved him along,and conjured up a ukulele. Strumming some chords,James gulped and began to sing.
Lily. I love you more than dillyyyyyyyyy-pickles.
And I love those a lot.
Lily. I love you more than fireeeeeewhiskey.
And I love that too much.
You re my drug! You re my addiction!
And lookin at you s got me wishin ,
You didn t think I was a douchebag.
Because I m really not all that bad.
At least...Ya know,I wouldn t be for you.
Cuz I love you.
Mind you,this was sang very loudly,and Sirius had started doing ooh-doo-wa s in the background. The whole school,besides Slytherins,started to clap and laugh. Lily,however,was flushing with her anger,her face matching her hair.
James Potter, she said through her teeth.
James cowered inside,but outside,ran a hand through his hair and smiled cockily. Lily Evans, he said smoothly.
You. Are. An idiot. She stormed off.
Denial number 184 for James Potter.
