AN: The song is some excerpts from Aretha Franklin's Respect.

Respect

"Lily…" whined James.

"What?!" Lily yelled as she spun around on her heel. "Ow…"

"Are you okay?! Can I take you to the hospital wing?"

"No, I'm fine, Potter.

"Are you sure?"

"YES! And what was it you wanted to know?"

"Why do you hate me?"

"First of all, you're an arrogant bullying toerag. Second, you keep bothering me."

"Oh, sorry."

"There are quite a few life lessons you need to learn."

"Like what?"

"Respect."

"Huh?"

"Alice! Marlene! Get over here!"

Alice and Marlene, who were already listening from the Gryffindor table, walked over.

"Yes Lily? You called."

"We need to teach Potter a little bit about respect."

"Ooh! Finally!"

"He could use some."

"Some? He could use a lot!"

"Right. Potter, listen up."

Lily started singing.

What you want

Baby I go it.

Alice and Marlene started oohing in the background.

What you need

Do you know I got it?

All I'm askin'

Is for a little respect when you come 'round

Just a little bit Marlene and Alice sung in the background.

Potter looked nauseatingly eager.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Find out what it means to me

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Take care, TCB

Oh,

Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock I to me, Alice and Marlene started singing.

Frank Longbottom could be seen in the background, staring longingly at Alice.

A little respect

Whoa, babe,

A little respect

I get tired

Keep on tryin'

You're runnin' out of foolin

And I ain't lyin'

're re re 'spect

When you come near,

Or you might find, a red handprint near your ear,

I got to have

A little respect.

Lily finished to find james drooling at her.

"Did you just learn ANYTHING?" and Lily smacked him across the cheek, leaving a large red spot.

"I did," James muttered as she walked off. "Always listen to Lily. And NEVER drool at her."
