Hi! I really like these so I thought I'd try and do one myself. Anyway, I
have a couple songs in mind to do but I REALLY need suggestions. If you
want to make a suggestion, plz review with the title of the song, the
author, and the accurate lyrics. Thanks. Here goes nothing.

It was the last day before the Christmas holidays, 1977, and the infamous pranksters, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, James's girlfriend Lily Evans, and Sirius's girlfriend Tori Schultz were eating breakfast, well most of them were eating, for Sirius was hunched over a five foot long transfiguration term paper which was due that day. Suddenly, Dumbledore stood up and shot gold fireworks out of his wand.
"May I have everyone's attention please?"
The students stopped talking almost immediately, for the last time Dumbledore made an announcement during breakfast was to say that Voldemort had attacked the family of a student.
Dumbledore looked down from the Head Table at the worried students. "I know what you're expecting me to say and I'm pleased to announce that first, there have been no new attacks."
On hearing this, most of the students took their eyes off of Dumbledore and went back to eating their breakfasts.
"And second, all day today; there will be a singing competition. All of you are excused from your classes-"
Dumbledore was interrupted by Sirius jumping up and screaming, "YES I HAVE ANOTHER TWO WEEKS TO FINISH MY HOMEWORK!!"
"Black, that will be five points from Gryffindor for not having your homework completed on time," shouted Professor McGonagall, standing up beside Dumbledore.
"I always knew she was a Slytherin supporter," mumbled Sirius, who sat down and focused on his eggs and bacon.
"Anyway," said Dumbledore, "you may enter the contest as many times as you want and you can sing with whomever you want but there are to be no voice- enhancing charms."
"Rats," said James, pounding his fist on the table.
Peter looked up from his cereal and looked at James. "You called?"
Everyone sighed exasperatedly at Peter's remark; because he said it at least five times a day.
"If I could please not be interrupted, teachers are also allowed to participate in the competition. The contest starts at 10:00 this morning and ends at midnight. You all have exactly an hour to plan your songs get your groups together, and practice. Good luck to all of you!" said Dumbledore, sitting back down in his gold chair.
"Ok, I have an idea," said James pulling the other three Marauders into a huddle. Half an hour later
Remus stuck his head out of the huddle and chuckled. "This is going to be great."
Lily looked at the four boys in obvious disbelief and muttered something that sounded an awful lot like "Boys!" She turned to Tori, who was munching on a piece of toast and reading the Daily Prophet. "Why don't we do something for this competition, Tori? They never include us in pranks and stuff."
Tori snorted and faced her best friend. "Since when do YOU, prefect Lily Evans, want to do something that could possibly lose points from Gryffindor. I mean, I think that you have lost a total of five points since you've been here. I checked the point ledger last week in the trophy room and it turns out that James has lost at least 300 points, Remus has lost 225, Peter lost 165, and Sirius has lost a whopping 490." Tori laughed. "I'm in love with the biggest rule-breaker in school. Anyway, are you sure you want to do this?"
Lily nodded; she was determined to show those boys what she was made of.
"Alright, what do you want to do?" asked Tori, defeated.
Lily smiled and showed a piece of parchment to her.
Meanwhile, at the Slytherin table...
Snape leaned in, resting his elbows on the Slytherin table to talk to his friends, Lucius Malfoy, Michael Avery, and Jacob Lestrange. "So, what are we going to do? We need to get back at those stupid Marauders. I'll never forgive them for changing my hair red and gold during the last quidditch match," he said, scowling unpleasantly as he recalled an obviously painful memory.
At the Gryffindor table, Tori and Lily were now in a huddle, talking excitedly. Sirius sat back down and asked, "So, what are we going to do to Snape? We haven't done anything to him since the last quidditch match! That seems like centuries ago!"
"Uh, Siri?" "Yeah, James?"
"The prank was last week."
"So? Your point being what?"
Just then, Remus came in, breaking up the stupid argument between his two best friends that, knowing them, could bring about the next apocalypse. "I call it obsessive compulsive disorder."
Sirius looked extremely confused. "Ok, you have officially lost me."
"Figures."
"Shut it Remus."
James sighed and put his hands in his hands. "Anyway, what about this song?" he said, showing a piece of parchment to Remus, Peter, and Sirius.
"That's a good one," said Peter, taking another bite of his pancakes.
Half an hour later, Dumbledore stood up again. "All right. Our first group is the Marauders and they will be singing 'I'll Be There for You' by The Rembrandts. Take it away guys!"
Dumbledore clapped his hands and a large stage with purple curtains suddenly appeared at the opposite side of the hall, along with a thousand chairs. As soon as all of the students had taken their seats, the lights dimmed and the curtains opened to reveal the silhouettes of four boys, who, when the stage lights came on, could be identified as the Marauders. They were wearing leather jackets and jeans and looked kind of like they belonged in the middle of New York City rather than a boarding school in northern Scotland. Suddenly, from no where, music began to play.
James: So no one told you life was gonna be this way Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA It's like you're always stuck in second gear, When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but...
At this point almost no one was looking at James, for they were staring at Sirius and Remus, who were dancing wildly in the background.
All: I'll be there for you... When the rain starts to pour I'll be there for you... Like I've been there before I'll be there for you... 'Cause you're there for me too.
Snape turned to his friends in the audience and whispered to them. "This is sickening, we SO have to beat them!"
The girls were in shock, Lily and Tori had taken seats in the front row, and they were staring at each other with wide eyes. For neither of them had known that the boys could sing as well as they were.
Sirius: You're still in bed at ten, though work began at eight, You burned your breakfast; so far things are going great, Your mother warned you there'd be days like these, But she didn't tell you when the world was brought down to your knees that...
During this verse, James and Remus were dancing like they were doing the tango. (AN: By the way, this is NOT slash, I hate slash and I will NEVER use slash in any of my stories.) Halfway through it, they looked at each other strangely, then shrugged and continued dancing.
All: I'll be there for you... When the rain starts to fall I'll be there for you... Like I've been there before I'll be there for you... 'Cause you're there for me too.
Remus: No one could ever know me. No one could ever see me. Seems you're the only one Who knows what it's like to be me Someone to face the day with. Make it through all the mess with. Someone I'll always laugh with. Even at my worst, I'm best with.... you - yeah
"Isn't that verse perfect for Remus?" asked Lily, her eyes staring at the boys on stage, in obvious awe. Tori nodded obliviously, for she too was staring at the boys in amazement.
All: It's like you're always stuck in second gear, When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but...
Now, Peter could be seen shaking a tambourine like there was no tomorrow, his blond hair flying every which way.
All: I'll be there for you... When the rain starts to fall I'll be there for you... Like I've been there before I'll be there for you... 'Cause you're there for me too...
After getting over the initial shock, almost the entire audience burst into applause. The only people not applauding were you guessed it, the Slytherins.
The Marauders took a grand bow an were about to walk off stage when Sirius ran to the very front of the stage to greet his 'fans'.
"Thank you! Thank you so much! Yes I love you too!" he shouted, waving to the still clapping audience.
James sighed deeply and walked calmly over to where Sirius was standing. After rolling his eyes, he smacked Sirius upside the head and dragged him off the stage.
"Alright," said Dumbledore standing back up. "That was a marvelous job by the Marauders. Bravo gentlemen!" "For our next contestant, we have...
