Hello you long shots
You dark horse runnersHairbrush singers

Hello you wild magnolias just waiting to bloom
There's a little bit of all that inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
Lily was sitting in the Gryffindor Common room one night during the first week of school, first year. So far she had no friends to talk to, and she was a muggleborn. James walked up to her with Sirius, Peter, Remus, Alice, Frank, Mary, and Dorcas.
"Hey. I'm James. I'm a first year too. This is Sirius, Remus, Mary, and Alice. What's your name?"
"My name is Lily. Why are you talking to me? No one has even said one word to me since the sorting?"
"We were all scared to befriend you. Our families are pure-bloods, and you are a muggleborn. We were scared of what might happen if we talked to you."
"Why would you be scared to talk to me, Remus?"
"Well, for starters, Sirius' family is a pure-blooded freak show, if you ask me. James' family never talks to people of your blood status, as a general rule. My family has basically cut itself off from the community except for school, and we don't talk to many people. The rest of us just were just to scared to talk to you because of James and Sirus." replied Remus.
"You don't have to be afraid to talk to me."
"We know, that is why we are talking to you now."
"Wanna be friends?"
" Sure, Mary."
I've stood at the bottom of some walls
I thought I couldn't climbI've felt like
Cinderella at the ball just runnin' out of time
So I know how it feels to be afraid
To think that it's all gunna slip away
Hold on, hold on
"James! Where are you going?"
"Relax, Lily, I'm just going to go and check on Moony."
"Good. I thought you were running away from me."
"Why would I run away from you?"
"Because you don't want to date me anymore."
"I would never run away from you. Now just go hang out with Stripes and Whiskers for an hour and me and Padfoot should be back by then."
"Okay. Bye!"
"Bye!"
Here's to you free souls
You firefly chasers
Street climbers
Porch swingers
Air guitar players
Here's to you fearless dancers shaking walls in your bedrooms
There's alot of wonder left inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
"What shall we call this, Padfoot?"
"I don't know, Crescent. What do you think?"
"Hey! Stripes, Prongs, Moony, and I have an idea!"
"What is it, Whiskers?"
"The Marauders' Map!"
"Perfect! Now how do we keep it safe?"
"Easy, Padfoot. We just make six copies and each of us have one to keep safe. When we are married and have our own kids, we give our copy to them."
"Brilliant, Crescent!"
"Thank you, Prongs!"
Never let a bad day be enough
to go and talk you into giving up
Sometimes everbody feels like you
Oh, feels like youJust like you
"My - my parents were killed in a car crash!"
"Oh my god! Are you okay?"
"I'll be fine, but my sister has decided to burn all of my things that I left at the house, and has kicked me out!"
"I know how you feel, Lily. I ran away from home and decided to live at James' home. I bet if you asked him he would let you live there too."
"Sure, Lily. If you want to live at my house with me, Sirius, and my parents, you are welcome to."
"Thanks, guys. I don't know what I would do with out you."
"You don't need to worry about that because we will never leave you out in the cold."
"Thank you, James."
I've met some go-getters
Some difference makers
Small town heros
And big chance takers
I've met some young hearts with something to prove
Oh yeah
"I can't do this, Mary! This is just wrong! I don't even know if he feels the same way!"
"This is why you have to do this, Lily. If you don't, you may regret it for the rest of your life!"
"I am willing to take that risk, Alice! Just let me go back to the dorm!"
"No!"
And with that, both Mary and Alice shoved Lily into the broom closet and locked it.
"Hey, Lily!"
"Hi, James."
"You seem upset to be in here with me. By the sounds of it you like me but don't know if I like you."
"Maybe, maybe not."
They sat in an awkward silence for a few minutes. Then, just out of the blue, Lily moved over next to James and kissed him full on the lips. Within a few minutes, They were in a full - on make - out session. Then they heard a noise from outside the closet. Remus suddenly opened the door and all of the others were laughing, saying things like 'finally' and 'hooray, Lily and James are together finally!'.
"Boy am I glad you took the first step, Lily. I would have just chickened out."
"Whatever, James. Whatever."
Here's too you long shots
You dark horse runners
Hairbrush singers
Dashboard drummers
Here's to you wild magnolias just waiting to bloom
There's a little bit of all that inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
With that Lily turned off the radio and turned to look at her friends, Mary, Sirius, Remus, and Alice, as well as her boyfriend James.
