´Dear Lily and James. Now Sirius has humiliated you enough, I would like to say a few words.'
Damnit Damnit Damnit. Why did I choose Dorcas as my maid of honour again?
'We all know that James fell immediately for our Lily and she of course despised him at first. But luckily, in sixth year, she fell for him. And she fell hard, didn´t she ladies?'
All my old roommates giggled as I felt a blush form on my cheeks and I glared at the brunette in front of me. When I looked aside though, James gave such an enormous grin that I couldn't help but smile too.
'Well, don't glare at us Lils, we all know you say it was in seventh, but everyone knows of your denial in sixth! Soooo… we thought we could sing you a little song about this particular period in Lily's life.'
The audience applauded approvingly as I groaned. Damnit Damnit Damnit.
'This song is from a muggle movie, and we know that this secretly is Lily's favourite, because she can connect so well with the leading lady. So, I won't let you wait any longer. Here is Marlene, Mary, Lea and yours truly with… I won't say I'm in love!'
James sitting next to me chuckled when I gripped his hand while closing my eyes as my former best friends climbed onto the stage. When the music started and Dorcas pulled out a muggle-microphone I began to relax. They had to sing; not me. But then I noticed the red-haired wig… okay, maybe this wouldn't be so entertaining. And Dorcas began to sing:
If there's a prize for rotten judgment
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that!
Then the rest of them joined in and a tiny tiny tiny giggle escaped my mouth. They acted just like the muses in the film.
Who'd'you think you're kiddin'
He's the Earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, you can't conceal it
We know how you feel and
Who you're thinking of
But Dorcas with her stupid wig put her hands in her side, shook her head and pouted like a little child. O, my… I sooooo do never do that!
No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no
You swoon, you sigh
why deny it, uh-oh
It's too cliché
I won't say I'm in love
I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming get a grip, girl
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out
Oh
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feelin…
And suddenly Dorcas got me out of my chair and clasping both of my hands in hers I had no chance to escape. She pushed me on the stage and threw a microphone in my hands.
Baby, we're not buying
Hon, we saw you hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown-up
When you gonna own up
That you got, got, got it bad
God, I would kill kill kill her! She knows I hate to hear myself sing… 'You go,' she mouthed. Damnit Damnit Damnit.
No chance, now way
I won't say it, no, no
And from the other side of the stage they teasingly replied.
Give up, give in
Check the grin you're in love
This scene won't play,
I won't say I'm in love
You're doin flips read our lips
You're in love
You're way off base
I won't say it
Get off my case
I won't say it
And now I dared to look at the audience, but the first and only one I saw, was James staring at me with that sparkle in his eyes. God, I loved him.
Girl, don't be proud
It's O.K. you're in love
I jumped off the stage, almost fell because of the stupid high heels Alice had borrowed me and walked towards him.
Oh
At least out loud…
I sang, and sat down on his lap.
I won't say I'm in love…
And I kissed the soft skin below his ear. 'James, I love you…' I whispered.
The next moment he grabbed my waist and kissed me so passionately that I didn't hear the cat calls from his friends, nor the giggling from mine, nor the applause of the guests.
All I could see and hear and taste was him. 'James…' I breathed.
