{Okay, before I get hordes of reviews telling me how aful my songfic was, I will only state that it was four in the morning and I was thinking about the last days of Lily and James, and how Billy Joel's "Piano Man" fit, in a strange way. Kind of tongue-in-cheek, mostly sad. Hope you enjoy.}
{It's set during the last night before the Potter's go into hiding, so like early October, at the Three Broomsticks, where they have gone for one last drink}
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
the Potter's and Rem shuffle in
Sirius is sitting next to me
Makin' love to his to his juice and gin
He says, Phe can you play me a memory
I can't rightly 'member how it goes
It's sad and it's sweet and I think it near complete
When I wore a young wizard's robes
Da da de de de da
da da de de de da da
Tell us a story, You're the Seer among us
Tell us a story tonight
Well, we need to get our minds off the Fidelius
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now Rose at the bar is a friend of mine
She'll get our drinks for free
And she's quick with a joke or to put out dragon smoke
But there's someplace we'd all rather be
She says Phe, I believe this will all turn out fine
As the smile ran away from her face
Well I'm sure we would all be happier
If we could just get Him off his place
Tell us a story, You're the Seer amongst us
Tell us a story tonight
Well, we need to get our minds off Him
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now James is a damn good Auror
Who always has time for his wife
And he's talking with Rem, who's holding back a scream
And probably will be for life
And Lily is talking 'bout politics
As the pub slowly gets scared
Yes, we're sharing a drink we call Butterbeer
But it's better than living in fear.
It's a pretty good crowd for a Deathday
And Rosmerta gives me a smile
'Cause she knows it Sir they've been coming to hear
To forget about You-Know-Who for a while
And the room sounds like a carnival
And the room smells like fear
And they read the Prophet
And say "Man, what are we doing here?"
Tell us a story, You're the Seer among us
Tell us a story tonight
Well we're going into hiding after this pint
But for the moment we're feeling alright.
