"Alright, let's not panic and do something stupid," said Remus, eyes wild with fear.
"We're going to die!" yelled James as he ran down the hall.
"See, that's what I was referring to," sighed Remus, who watched as James fought through a crowd of girls who started screaming and hitting him.
"This isn't normal," said Sirius burying his face in his hands.
"Are you four still up here!" said Lily as she turned to look at them.
"This Lily seems angrier than usual," mumbled Sirius to Remus as they stared at her curiously.
"I think it's time to find James," said Remus as the three boys stepped away from the fiery redhead and walked down the hall to pursue their fourth member.
"So now what? We're trapped two years prior to our time with no means to get back!" said Sirius as they walked down the hall. "Our only chance was that damn spell book and Evans hasn't even purchased it yet."
"We'll just have to wait," said Remus.
"Wait? I m not waiting in this time period any longer, Remus. There are strange things happening here!" Sirius said, a crazy look in his eyes.
"No," said Remus, impatiently. "We'll just wait till the time changes. Obviously, we haven't been staying in one time period for too long."
"How do you know it'll be the same every time! What if we have to wait here till we're fifty? I can't wait that long, my hair cant take it!" yelled Sirius.
Giving his friend an odd look, Remus shook his head and stared down the hall.
"Where's James? We should have caught up with him by now," said Remus.
"There," said Sirius, pointing at a figure sprawled on the floor of the common room.
"James?" asked Remus, as they reached him.
"What happened, mate?" asked Sirius, stifling a chuckle.
"Women - are - mean," he said in between chokes.
Sirius gave James a hand as they peeled him off the floor.
"I don't like this one bit," said James, picking his glasses off the floor and ruffling up his hair.
"Your lips bleeding," said Sirius with a sort of amusement.
"What?" James yelped, putting a hand to his lips.
Sure enough he found drops of blood on his fingertips.
"Those evil wenches!" said James, attracting the attention of a few females sitting in the corner of the room.
James eyes went wide with fear.
"Please get me out of here," he whispered to his friends.
The boys quickly and quietly made their way out of the common room.
"What do we do now?" asked Sirius.
"I'm thinking, I'm thinking," said Remus as his eyes scanned the people in the hall.
"We could always camp out in the Shrieking Shack," suggested James.
"No," shuddered Remus, "thank you."
"Well you don't expect us to sit here and study, do you?" said Sirius. "There's only so many times I can hear Professor Binns give the same lecture."
As if on cue, Professor McGonagall turned the corner and bumped into the four boys.
"Ah, Potter, Black, Lupin, Pettigrew," she said. "Class starts in ten minutes, tardiness is not accepted."
With that, she passed right by them and walked away.
"Did that seem a bit odd to you?" asked Sirius.
"She wants us to go to class?" whined James. "I can't do that! I don't want to! You can't make me!"
-x-x-x-
"I can't believe you're making me go to class, Moony," said James, folding his arms as they walked towards the Transfiguration class room.
"Will you stop whining," said Remus. "We just need to fit in until we go into another time."
"No one said I had to do it with a smile on my face," mumbled James to himself.
"Look, we're almost there so-"
"Do you guys hear that?" asked Sirius, who raised an eyebrow. "It sounds like-"
"Music," the four of them said, eyes widening.
"Oh no," said Remus.
Sure enough, as the boys reached the Transfiguration classroom, the music got louder.
"What the-" said James as he watched Professor McGonagall climb on top of the table.
"Cast it up, cast it up, cast it upside down!" she sang swishing her wand around. "Cast it up, cast it up, cast it upside down!"
The other students suddenly turned towards the Mauraders with crazy looks on their faces. Each held a parakeet and started chanting "cast it up, cast it up, cast it upside down" as they transformed them into garden gnomes. Professor McGonagall started to spin as she sang.
"Cast the spell about, love transfiguration! Cast it all around, love transfiguration! Love to cast it!" she sang out and started jumping from table to table, swishing her wand about.
The four boys watched in awe.
"Cast spells that transfigure a mug from a rat, or turning myself into a cat! When you hear the swish of the wand enchanting, then you'll know that transfiguration is happening, so woah yeah!" she sang as the students sang the chorus.
"Cast the spell about love transfiguration! Cast it all around, love transfiguration! Love to cast it!" they harmonized.
"Students learn to cast these spells cause, I know that you don't want points off. But you see I've made up my mind about it. It's got to be the right words, no doubt about it, woah woah. Cause when everything's transfigurating, with the wand's rhythm, with the swish, swish, swish, makes me wanna move my body yeah, yeah, yeah! And when the wizard starts casting that cast, he nails that spell with the syncopated rhythm with the rap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap of the wand, hey!" she sang, letting down her hair and shaking it.
"Cast the spell about, love transfiguration. Cast it all around, love transfiguration. Love to cast it. Love to cast it. Love to cast it!" she sang, ending the song with jazz hands.
"I think she's gone mental," whispered a wide-eyed Sirius to James, who had been staring at the Professor with an open mouth.
"Maybe we should just go back to the common room," said Remus, as they slowly walked away from what they just witnessed.
-x-x-x-
"Ok, here's what we do," said Remus, as they sat down in the common room. "We'll just avoid all the music. There's a chance we can beat all this. We just need to isolate ourselves from-"
"Lily!" James yelled, standing up from his seat.
"-everyone," finished Remus with a sigh. Lily, who spotted James, widened her eyes and was about to make a run for it when she suddenly stopped as if mystified by a melody. A melody that was slowly filling the room.
"What's going on?" asked James, looking down at his body. "I feel something, something horrible!"
"What's happening, Prongs?" asked Sirius, confusing.
"I feel it! I feel - the music!" yelled James, as his head suddenly snapped towards Lily.
"Oh, no," said Remus, wide eyed as James walked towards Lily.
"We were born the same day," James sang.
"No we weren't," commented Lily, looking at him strangely.
"We even think the same way!" continued James.
"Hardly-" she said, pulling her books to her chest and walking away.
"We couldn't be more right!" he sang, walking ahead and stepping in front of her. "We are what they call a perfect match!"
"Oh, Merlin," said Lily, shaking her head.
"Except a match you cant touch!" he sang, waving a hand up and down. "Down to the last bone you're my baby!"
Sirius suddenly walked in out of nowhere, startling Lily.
"Sirius-" she said, startled.
"But to be honest there's just one thing," he sang. "A point that it's missing. You don't seem to care at all!"
And out of no where, the Mauraders stood before Lily in boy-band-stance, dancing to the same routine.
"Tell me, tell me, baby!" they sang in perfect harmony. "How come you don't want to love me?"
They all stopped and held out a hand towards Lily.
"Don't you know that I can't breathe without you?" they sang, pulling their hand to their chest. "Tell me, tell me, just how... what am I supposed to do, right now?"
The boys all jumped and then dropped to their knees.
"Why cant you love me? Why? Tell me my baby," they finished.
Elizabeth, watching this spectacle, laughed it off and hurried to her room. But just as she was about to take that first step up-
"Now from the moment we met!" Sirius sang out to her. "I thought that I was all set."
Sirius stood up and walked towards her.
"How could that be so wrong? Now I hear you're still seeing that guy too," he sang, finally reaching her. "What else is new? But does he love you like I do, my baby?"
"But I promise you this one thing," sang James to Lily. "Whatever that's missing. I will make it up to you, so tell me baby!"
The boys joined in the chorus again. All the while, not realizing that a certain pink haired girl was watching them.
"Getting under my skin," James sang.
"Messing up my mind," Sirius joined.
"Never let me into your life and!" sang James.
"Tell me baby how come you don't wanna love me how am I supposed to live without," they both sang together.
"If there is no way," sang Sirius.
"To make you," sang James.
"Feel the same way too," sang Sirius.
"Like I do! Oh!" sang James sinking to his knees.
As if snapping back to reality, the four both looked at each other.
"What just happened?" asked Remus. "Why do I feel the need to dance in unison?"
"So Lily, will you give me a chance?" asked James, a goofy smile on his face.
"I'd rather snog a broom," she said, turning on her feet and walking away.
"But I have better hair!" said James, calling after her.
"Sirius," said Elizabeth, walking up to the boy. "I didn't know you felt that way."
"Elizabeth, I'm crazy about you," said Sirius, staring into her eyes.
"I -" Elizabeth gave him an apologetic look and then stared at her feet. "I care about you too, Sirius. But - Riley."
"I see," said Sirius, staring at her sadly. "And there's no chance of you two-"
"I'm afraid not," she said, biting her lip. She almost looked as if she was keeping something from him. "However-"
Sirius gave her a curious look as she gave him a sheepish grin.
"What do you suppose that's about?" Tonks asked Remus, who had been watching Sirius and Elizabeth whisper to each other.
"Oh, hi Tonk- Nymphadora," said Remus, awkwardly. "Didn't see you there."
Tonks hair suddenly turned blue as she stared at him with a curious look.
"Does that usually happen?" he asked, a sudden curiosity striking him. "I mean I've never really seen you actually change before."
Tonks beamed at him as she started to explain.
"What like this?" she asked, as her ears started to turn pointy.
Remus laughed as her nose grew longer as well.
"That's so cool," he said, smiling at her.
"Thanks," she said. "It's good to know people don't think it's weird. Sometimes I feel like a bit of a freak."
"I know what you mean," Remus said, his expression turning solemn.
"What?" she laughed. "You're Remus. There's no freaky bone in your body."
Remus tried his best to laugh it off.
"Anyway," she said. "I've got Potions soon, so-"
"Oh, no, don t worry," he said. "Go ahead."
"I'll see you around, Remus," she said, smiling at him as she walked away.
"Yeah, I guess I will," he said, smiling to himself.
