Hello Everyone! I hope you liked the last chapter! Thanks to all of the reviewers.
RECAP
"I'll never let you go." he whispered softly. I hesitated, then smiled.
"I never want you to." He swooped down and captured my lips in a searing kiss. It was soft and passionate and I never wanted it to end. We broke apart as footsteps pounded on the stairs. He pulled me close so no one could hear.
"Be my girl?" I smiled. I was a marauder after all.
"As if," I observed his hurt expression and continued.
MAIN STORY
"As if I could say anything but yes." I winked at him as he realized I had been joking. He grinned like a mad man and picked me up, spinning me around and around until neither of us could breathe from laughing so hard. When he set me down, I noticed younger students staring at us in confusion. I smiled at them. "You're telling the others." I told him. I laughed at the look on his face. "See you later Sirius!" I called as I left, still laughing. As I walked, I began thinking about everything that had happened since I had time travelled. If I had been paying more attention, I might have noticed a spell coming my way. I was only alerted by the caster actually saying the spell instead of doing a nonverbal spell. As it was, since I hadn't been paying attention, I barely got the shield up in time. He came up to me, grinning at his achievement.
"I almost got you!" He exclaimed. I smiled, not wanting to tear his victory from him.
"Hey Reg. I have news. Sirius news." His eyes widened as he realized what I meant.
"Did you talk to him? What did he say? Will he talk to me? Why aren't you saying anything? Is it bad?" I finally had to put a hand over his mouth. I laughed.
"I would answer if you'd stop talking." He blushed and I took my hand from his mouth. "Yes, I talked to him. He told me to arrange a meeting between the two of you."
"Thanks a lot Alex. You're the best. Ask him if lunch time by the tree by the lake would be alright." I nodded and we went our separate ways. I headed towards the Great Hall for breakfast. When I got there, the three Marauders and Lily were already there. I passed the message onto Sirius and ate my breakfast before heading to class. It took longer than usual since the Marauders and Lily kept congratulating the two of us. The other students were looking at our group with nervous expressions, obviously thinking we were planning a prank.
When I walked to Muggle Studies later that day, I realized that there were some kids there that didn't do Muggle Studies. All of the Marauders, Lily, Severus, and Regulas included. I threw them a questioning glance but they just shrugged. I sat down just as Professor Drander appeared.
"Settle down." he said, standing in front of his desk. "Headmaster Dumbledore has instructed me to inform all of you about a contest, and it's rules, that will be held in two weeks." Whispers broke out at this announcement.
"Guess I'll have to embarrass myself after all." I mumbled. Sirius looked at me curiously but couldn't comment because Drander began again at that moment.
"Quiet down now. The teams have already been picked, so I will list those off before explaining the contest." There were some groans at this. "Team 1 is Regulas Black, Severus Snape, Lily Evans, and Alexianna Dumbledore. Team 2 is Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin and... oh wait. Sorry, I had forgotten that Mr. Pettegrew left the school last night. Will you three be alright on your own?" The three boys nodded enthusiastically. "Group 3, and the last group that I have, is Alice Prewett, Frank Longbottom, William Patil, and Ashlyn Morwol. The actual contest is this, you will create a band and perform. The rules are as follows: 1. You will not use magic to alter voices or playing. 2. You will perform muggle songs. 3. Everyone in your group must either sing or play an instrument, no one may sit out and watch. 4. The teams will perform in the opposite order of their numbers, meaning the smallest number goes last. The first and second place winners will perform at our annual Graduation Ball, which is for fifth through seventh year though you may invite a younger student as your date. The theme this year for the ball, as you've probably noticed, is muggle. The first, second and third place winners will receive a recording contract for exactly one year. Each group will choose their own name and muggle song. Tell me your band name and each band members postition before you leave. Now, meet up with your group." Our group quickly found that each of us had some past musical experience. Severus played drums, Lily and Regulas played guitar, and I sang. The only problem we had was the name. None of them felt as if they described our group.
"What about Harmony?" Lily suggested. I interrupted as Severus started to object.
"Wait a minute. Harmony isn't right for us, but the idea of Harmony is a good one. What are the four of us but harmony between the two rival houses? What about Salazar's Lionesses or Gryffindor's Snakes?" Regulas, Severus, and Lily all looked at each other, before saying, in complete unison,
"Salazar's Lionesses." I laughed and we headed to tell the professor. We arranged to meet in the Room of Requirement before heading to the Great Hall.
