As It Was and You Were
Chapter Seven
Bands
It's eight o' clock and I'm feeling fine
I'm out on a date tonight
In a candle lit restaurant down by the riverside
Everything's going alright I guess
She took down my number and home address
Everything was going perfectly until
It backfired at the disco, she slapped me at the disco, I did something I'll never forget
It was a chat-up line built not to impress
More a sleazy remark on her whorish dress
My wires crossed like they've never done before
Well it's 3 o' clock and I'm feeling shite
I'm going home alone tonight
Everything was going perfectly until
"Prongs? Prongs are you ever going to snap out of your hypno position?" Remus went and switched of the radio.
"Sorry Moony. Just preoccupied. You were saying?"
"Oh just that Lily said she thought you were very attractive and that she wants to shag in about… three minutes," James frowned.
"Moony. That's a lie and you know that. Besides I've already shagged Lily,"
"WHAT?"
"Gotcha,"
"Why you little rascal Prongs. I ought to give you a smack,"
"Why Padfoot, you little twerp, that's not very nice," They frowned at each other. Then at Remus.
"Ah Remus, my good man, do continue with your actual topic of discussion. I am listening intently," Sirius examined his nails and screwed up his face, "Disgusting, hangnail. Where's my nail file?"
"Well I was saying that the next full moon is tomorrow and I asked if all of you could make it,"
"I can. I don't have anything,"
"Thanks Wormtail,"
"I shall check my schedule… I have a detention. But I believe I will not be attending it so yes. I can make it,"
"Padfoot," Remus nodded in appreciation.
"I can't," James winced.
"Why not?"
"I can't just skip my patrol. Saying I'm sick or something isn't going to deter Lily," he jumped up and went to the door, "Sorry guys, already very late,"
"It's two o'clock in the afternoon,"

"So that means that Revioso would take the opposite effect to Revosio which in turn means… the dog ate my homework?"
"Alice no more excuses. It has to be done,"
"Peeves changed all the words to read backwards and I couldn't reverse it?"
"No,"
"I accidentally lent it to Hagrid for his creature box linings thinking it was something else" Lily just looked at Alice, "The house elves poisoned my food and I was too unwell to do it? I was attacked by chickens? The Phantom of the Opera?" Lily closed her book, "Zombies? Vampires? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Bewitched china?" Lily packed her bag up and looked at Alice, "Anything?"
"Sorry Alice. Just do it yourself. I'm not feeling very well. I think I'm going to go back to my room and lie down. I'll see you later," she smiled at her friend.
"Frank?"

Don't think about kissing James. Don't think about kissing James.Don't think about kissing James. Don't think about kissing James. Don't even think about kissing James.
Don't brag about conquests to friends. Don't brag about conquests to friends. Don't brag about conquests to friends. Don't brag about conquests to friends.
James and Lily were both walking back to their common room and talking themselves out of things. To do that is a very difficult thing. You see you want to do it, but you still don't want to therefore you talk yourself out of it to avoid the bad 'wants'. Goodness teenage romances like this are so unpredictable aren't they? I myself have had a very… No I haven't. Let's see where were we?
They both rounded the opposite ends of the corridor at the same time. They stood there staring at each other. Daring the other to make the first move. Their hands twitched towards their wands. James took the first step down the corridor. Lily followed suit. They slowly commenced walking. They were both nearing the common room entry at the same pace. They increased their pace. They got a bit faster until they were nearly at a run.
They both arrived at the same time. Standing in front of each other. Lily raised an eyebrow; James cocked his head to the side and smirked.
"James,"
"Lily. Problem?"
"Matter of fact yes. You didn't tell anyone that we spent the entire night making out on the couch did you?" James considered this for a second.
"No,"
"You hesitated! You told someone didn't you?"
"What? I did not do any such thing!" They both stepped closer.
"You did so do such a thing! You complete pucking arrogant bastard! I made a request and you pucking ignored it!" They were now within inches of the other's face.
I remember short long skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere!
Short long skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere!
Short long skirts, long hair, my hormones flyin-
"SHUT UP!" James and Lily both glared at The Wombats who were standing near them and were mid song. Murph, Dan and Tord all looked at each other.
"Although kudos for the awesome sound you've got going there," James gave them a thumbs-up.
"Now please leave," Lily asked.
The Wombats all looked sad and started to walk away breaking into song.
I hope that no one ever leaves
Cause I don't want to be alone with me
Not with the things that rush up and down this infant spine
Here comes the love anxiety
Can't let it grab a hold of me
Not like the last time
"Nice," James nodded his head
"Yeah they were. I liked the guitar."
"Those lyrics were really good,"
"OK back to where we were,"
"So what if I told someone? Not that I did!"
"The point is that I have staked my reputation on hating you for being an arrogant idiot! I really don't want people to find out that I could be wrong!"
"Do you want to make-out inside?" James asked grabbing Lily
"Dammit James! Is that all you ever think about?" James shrugged, "Yeah alright," They said the password and once inside they collapsed on the other obeying the almighty ruler The Wombats had been telling them about. Their hormones.
Well. That's another two chapters up. I've been very busy with school lately and it drained me of my creative organs. It took all my creativity. Did anyone like the appearance of The Wombats? I sure as hell did! Reviews?
