Serenade
It was the Marauders' sixth year Christmas holidays. All the Marauders except Peter Pettigrew had stayed in Hogwarts for the holidays. In fact, they were in their dorm forming a plan (at least Sirius and James were. Remus was reluctantly listening to them) to serenade James' long-term crush, Lily Evans.
Later that night, the three Marauders went down to the almost empty Gryffindor common room. Almost empty because only one person was there. The person was no other than Lily. (Who was reading a book, no doubt)
James took a deep breath and walked up to her, with a smirking Sirius and a scowling Remus trailing behind. Without looking up from her book, she asked in an annoyed tone, "What do you want, Potter?" Sirius smirked even wider, "My dear Lily flower. Prongsie just want to tell you something, with our help of course." James grinned at his best friend, "Right. Moony my music."
Remus sighed. He waved his wand and muttered something. Instantly the tune of a song started to play. The boys stood next to each other and swayed in time to the music. Clapping in time to the beats, they started to sing.
"You're insecure,
Don't know what for,
You're turning heads when you walk through the door,
Don't need make-up,
To cover up,
Being the way that you are is enough,
Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you,
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
That's what makes you beautiful
So come on,
You got it wrong,
To prove I'm right,
I put it in a song,
I don't know why,
You're being shy,
And turn away when I look into your eye eye eyes,
Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you,
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
That's what makes you beautiful
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful ,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh,
That's what makes you beautiful."
They even did some actions in the song. They ended the song by bowing to Lily before applauding themselves. The three of them, including Remus, had rather much enjoyed themselves. Only Lily was not amused. She stood up, her almond shaped green eyes flashing angrily.
"You complete arse! You flobberworm! You… You arrogant toe-rag!" she shrieked insults at James as she hit every part of him she could reach with her book. (Sirius and Remus had leapt out of her reach) she gave him a good whack on his head before storming up to the girls' dorm. Sirius cupped his hands over his mouth and called after her, " That's what makes you beautiful." The loud slam of the door in response made them laugh. James grinned weakly at his buddies before passing out on the floor. Remus snickered, "someone's overwhelmed with love."
