Author's Note: Don't be alarmed by my putting this up. I had a sudden inspiration and had to write it out. I am still working on my other fic, though it is progressing rather slowly. This is a song fic. The lyrics are in italics
Disclaimer: Harry Potter, while pretty much the bane of my existence, is not mine in any way. Neither is the song Everybody Love Me Baby mine. It belongs to Don McLean
Fortune has me well in hand, armies await my command
My gold lies in a foreign land buried deep beneath the sand
The angels guide my every tread my enemies are sick or dead
But all the victories I've lead, haven't brought you to my bed
You see, everybody loves me baby,
What's the matter with you?
Won't you tell me what did I do to offend you?
Lily burst into her dorm room. That James Potter was so infuriating! He thought that the world revolved all around him! Then he acted shocked when she turned him down every time he asked her out. Like he wasn't completely full of himself and had no idea as to why she was reacting this way. What could she do to show him why she thought what she did? What about a theme song? An ode to Potter might shut him up for a little while.
Well you can't blame me, I'm the heaven's child
I'm the second son of Mary Mild
And I'm twice removed from Oscar Wilde
But he didn't mind why he just smiled
Yes, and the ocean parts when I walk through
And the clouds dissolve and the sky turns blue
And I'm held in very great value by everyone I meet
But you
How would she present it to Potter? Should she show him privately or publicly? No, not publicly, that would be stooping to his level. Maybe just him and the other three "Marauders"? Yes, that would be the perfect way to stop his antics. Now she just needed to finish the song.
Cause I've used my talents as I could,
I've done some bad, I've done some good
I did a whole lot better than they thought I would so
Come on and treat me like you should
Because everybody loves me baby,
What's the matter with you?
Won't you tell me what did I do, to offend you
During their free period the next day, Lily told the Marauders to meet her in an empty classroom for a special presentation concerning Potter. When everyone had showed up, Lily sang the song she had written. She even passed out copies of the lyrics so there would be no mistake as to what she was saying. When Lily was done she looked at them expectantly. Sirius was chuckling to himself a bit, Remus looked a bit bored and Peter just looked confused. James was grinning broadly. "Well," he said, "If you like me enough to write me theme music, why don't you come with me to Hogsmeade next weekend?" Curse that Potter!
