Hey everyone! This is my first try at a songfic, (Well...any HP fanfic really: D). The song is by Dream Street...my favorite band ever! So...Please enjoy! And please please review! I want to know how I did...and what I need to improve. :) I'd apreciate it! :D. The lyrics are in between the ().
DISCLAIMER!!: I DO NOT, I REPEAT, I DO NOT, OWN ANY OF THE HARRY POTTER CHARACTERS. NOR (sadly) DO I KNOW OR OWN ANY OF THE DREAM STREET MEMBERS OR ANY OF THE SONG LYRICS. The only thing I own in the fic is: the idea.
THANK YOU AND ENJOY!
Lily Evans sighed. She turned. She could feel someone staring. James would never stop staring at her...would he? He was totally ignoring his best friend, Sirius Black.
"JAMES POTTER!" Lily and Sirius shouted together, unaware that they were going to do so.
"What?" James snapped out of his little daydream.
"Come on, James, we have a prank to pull." Sirius whispered, so Lily couldn't hear him. James grinned evilly.
"Who's the victim?" James asked.
"Um...Malfoy," Sirius suggested.
"OK!" The two friends went to go find Remus and Peter, the other half of the Marauders.
Lily rolled her eyes. They could never lead a quiet life, she thought to herself.
"Hey, Moony! Wanna come?" Sirius called to one of his best friends, who was reading a large hardcover tome. The boy sighed.
"Oh, alright, Sirius. But only if I-wait, where?"
"What do you mean?" Sirius asked.
"Where are we going?" Remus tried to clarify.
"Oh dear me, Moony has lost his mind! Duh, Moony! What do we Marauders do best?" James said pointedly.
"Oh…right!" Remus exclaimed. "Well…I'm not sure if I should go…it's full moon tonight after all…"
"Oh c'mon, Moony! We'll come back like an hour before it comes up…" Sirius promised.
"Oh…alright." Remus finally gave in. "So who's the victim?"
"MALFOY!" James and Sirius yelled anxiously.
"Wait...has any of you seen the last fourth of this um...wonderful group?" James asked.
"Oh, Peter? He's got a detention with McGonagall. I don't know why though...he didn't do anything...well…he did put glue all over her chair…" Remus said in a rush.
"Okayyyy...You lost me on the...eh...third word." James said, looking confused. He had been staring at Lily's flaming red hair.
"Oh that was so witty Prongs." Sirius rewarded his friend with a high-five.
"Oh I know…but we should seriously-PADFOOT!" He and Remus snapped, seeing Sirius beginning to open his mouth to make the usual "Sirius" pun. He huffed and closed his mouth. "You guys are no fun." He whined.
"As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, I think we should wait until Peter gets out of detention." James stated.
"OK…NOT!" Sirius screeched.
"Oh fine..." Remus and James sighed.
"You three are weird." Lily said, rolling her eyes as she walked past them. James stared.
"Thank you!"
Remus rolled his eyes.
Later, while they were all at dinner, James resumed his staring at Lily.
'If only you knew how I really felt…come on Lily…At least look at me…just once…I feel so ignored…you've never had someone like me, if only you'd give me a chance...' James thought to himself sadly, as he ate.
(There's something,
About me,
That you don't know about.
I'm someone,
That somehow,
You seem to be without.
Is it so hard to see that,
I'm not invisible?
Feel like a fly on the wall...)
"WOO!" James screamed. Everyone turned and stared.
"What?" Sirius, Remus, and Peter (who had come back from detention) asked.
"NOTHING! I've just gone a bit mad!" James said. Then he turned as red as Lily's hair. Had he just said that?
"Um…sorry to break it to you mate, but you've always been like that…" Sirius pointed out. Peter nodded.
James shrugged, and resumed the spacey look he always had on his face when staring at Lily.
'So precious...so perfect.' he thought.
Lily rolled her eyes.
'There he goes again. Staring at me like there's no tomorrow.' she thought.
"Lily, my darling, will you go out with me?" James asked suddenly, for about the millionth time in his 6 years that he had attended Hogwarts.
"No, James Potter. I will not." Lily said.
"Ouch." James and Sirius said quietly.
Lily tried not to smile. 'He's cute when he's sad,' she thought. 'Wait, what? Did I just think that? Am I going crazy?' She sighed. 'Ok, he's pretty cute...' she thought yet again. James got up, blew a kiss or two to Lily, and left the Great hall.
(So if I get a little crazy,
Look a little spacey,
Blowin' kisses your way,
Will you think I'm OK?...)
After dinner, Sirius, Remus, and Peter went up to the common room to talk to James.
"You OK Mate?" Sirius asked, becoming his namesake.
"Yeah, I'm fine!" James replied cheerfully.
"Ok, if you say so." Remus said.
"So." James said cheekily.
"Shut up." Remus said playfully.
"You like Lils then, huh, James?" Peter asked quietly. He usually didn't say anything...he was the "quiet one", although he got in trouble lots of times.
"Yeah. I'd do anything for her." James said dreamily.
"Even burn the sun?" Sirius asked.
"How is that physically and logically possible?" Remus asked.
"Oh, what ever." Sirius responded, before plopping down onto an armchair.
(Set the sun on fire?
Scream a little higher?...)
"You guys gonna come tonight?" Remus asked tentatively.
"OF COURSE!" the three boys exclaimed. Remus smiled. 'True friends,' he thought.
"Alright."
Later that night, the three boys (Remus had been escorted to the Womping Willow by Madam Pomfrey) snuck under the invisibility cloak...but not without Lily spotting them. Lily thought, 'Where are they going?' She began to follow them, but then realized, 'Wait...I can't see them.' Once in the corridors, Lily could hear footsteps a ways up. She snuck after them, looking for the source of the noise. Nothing. So she just continued to follow the mysterious sound.
The three boys, (and Lily...but they didn't know that) arrived outside (without any encounters with Filch). James suddenly turned, still under the cloak.
"Lily!" he hissed.
"What?" Sirius and Peter turned, only to find Lily Evans standing there. James pulled the cloak off of himself.
"You guys go ahead, I'll catch up." He told the remainder of the Marauders.
"Ok." The two walked away.
"Lily, what are you doing here?" James asked the red-headed girl.
"I...um...I wanted to talk to you." she lied.
"Ok, about what?" James asked softly.
"I...well...I-like you." She blurted out. She clamped a hand over her mouth, turning deep red. James gasped.
"You-you do?" he asked.
Lily began to think. Did she like him? She wasn't sure. 'So what was that feeling you got at dinner?' her conscience asked her. 'Oh fine…' she finally made her decision. She decided to see what he was really like. So she said,
"Ye-yeah."
James grabbed her, pulling her into a hug. Lily was shocked, but then hugged him back. James held her like this for what seemed like forever. But in reality, it had only been 2 minutes.
"Lily, there is a Hogsmeade trip coming up soon...What do you say?" James asked shyly.
Lily couldn't believe this. James? Shy? Nevertheless, she whispered
"I say yeah."
(Hold you in the moonlight,
I say yeah,
If you say alright...)
Full Lyrics:
I know that, you know that,
I can't stop watchin' you,
I feel it believe me I know you feel it too.
Uh-oh yeah.
There's something,
about me,
that you don't know about,
I'm someone,
That somehow,
You seem to be without...
Is it so hard to see that,
I'm not invisible?
Feel like a fly on the wall...
So if I get a little crazy,
look a little spacey,
blowin' kisses your way,
will you think I'm OK?
Set the sun on fire,
Scream a little higher,
Hold you in the moonlight,
I say yeah if you say alright.
Yeah.
Alright.
I might not,
be special,
not like your super man,
but living,
and loving,
well that I super can
It's not so complicated,
Not reinvent the wheel just let me know how you feel...
So if I get a little crazy,
look a little spacey,
blowin' kisses your way,
will you think I'm OK?
Set the Sun on fire,
scream a little higher,
hold you in the moonlight,
I say yeah if you say alright.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
If you say alright (alright)
Then I will say OK (OK)
I will take your hand,
and we can fly away (we can fly away)
no matter where we go,
you will always hear me say.
YEAH!
Oo-oo-oo...(I say yeeeah)
woo, baby.
(alright) alright
So if I get a little crazy,
look a little spacey,
blowin' kisses your way,
will you think I'm OK?
Set the Sun on fire,
Scream a little higher,
Hold you in the moonlight,
I say yeah if you say alright.
Set the Sun on fire,
Scream a little higher,
hold you in the moonlight,
I SAY YEAH,
IF YOU SAY ALRIGH
