Disclaimer: Isn't this cool? Its almost like habit now: write a new chappie, first thing you type is the disclaimer! Ahem: I, Oliversangel, do own Harry James Potter or those characters that he associates with, encounters, makes out with (hehe just kidding…he's not even in this story-maybe I'll add him later) Fine then. I, Oliversangel, do not own James Harold Potter, Lillian Margaret Evans, Sirius Orion Black, Remus Jonathan Lupin, or Ablus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore (hehe that was fun!) I do, however, own this plot and so back off all y'all plot-stealers!

Dedication: all you faithful reviewers (especially those who commented on the cuteness of Remus' teddybear lol)

And of course to R:

Waking up screaming

Painting a picture

Of infinite nightmares

Because haunting my drams

Every waking moment

Every Sigh, every laugh

Is your face

Evasive

But there

Staring straight at me

Screaming

Words of advice

Do yourself a favor

Erase yourself

From my memory

Because if you give up on me

I have nothing left to give

Worthless

In the falling snow

I hereby copyright the above poem, as I wrote it and it is mine and mine alone! .:insert evil laugh:. You know this feels good, venting my answer through poetry and then sharing it. Fine here goes: I HATE you for breaking my heart and not looking back. I'm srry I won't ever tell you this to your face. I loved you. Good bye.

Okay! On with the story then old chaps!


It was dinner time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Dinner soon appeared at plates all over the hall. An excited Sirius jumped up on the bench and yelled:

I LOVE EGGROLLS!

Wow Siri that's, um, interesting……replied a befuddled Remus Lupin.

Sirius then proceeded to do his Eggroll dance, which included nonsense singing in Chinese (no offence to Chinese ppl) and a few kung fu moves, were he proceeded to hit James in the nose.

BLOODY HELL! Do NOT touch the nose MAN!

Sorry mate! Got a bit….carried away there…..

Remus snorted and turned back to his inner, Yorkshire pudding (I ADORE Yorkshire pudding) and mashed potatoes. Suddenly, a ruckus was heard in the air, a strange popping sound.

Lily Evans sat at her place, staring at what was once her shepherd's pie.

She stood up, face coated with chicken, broccoli, and flaky bits of crust. OKAY PEOPLE! FESS UP! WHO DID IT! WHO HAD THE BRIGHT IDEA OF EXPLODING A PERFECTLY TASTY SHEPHERDS PIE!

A small squeak came from the Marauders' end of Gryffindor table and Lily rounded on a shaking Sirius.

Hi there Lily……he squeaked and Remus snorted once more. I mean…….Hello Miss. Evans…… he said, in what he hoped was a deep, manly tone.

Sirius then became distracted by all the bits of Yorkshire pudding on Lily's poor face. oOo YUMMY! He said as he lunged for a stray bit of chicken on Lily's left cheek.

Lily wasn't too happy about this. BLACK! DO NOT EAT MY FACE!

………..But its good……….Sirius defended himself with the defiance of a five year old who wants a snack, which at this moment happened to be attached to Lily's face.

Lily smirked dangerously. Fine…..you want it so badly? Take this! She yelled and swiping a large handful of the sloppy mass adorning her face and chucked it at Sirius' head.

O MY GOD LILY YOU RUINGING MY HAIR! Sirius shouted. His eyes became mere slits and he turned back to face her. This means one thing……..WAR!

He grabbed Amelia Bones' bowl of pea soup and held it threateningly over her head.

You wouldn't……….

O yes I woooooould!

He dumped the bowl on her head and stood proudly and Lily stuttered through the green mass of goo.

Ewww….thats disgusting. How could you eat that despicable mass of unknown…stuff Amelia! She shook her head to clear it and looked wilding around for something to retaliate with.

AHAH! She said gleefully and swooped over to Remus' Yorkshire pudding.

HEYYYYYYY said Remus, gimme my dinner back!

But Lily was to busy aiming to listen.

ARGHHHHHHH! Sirius said, gravy now dripping down his front.

He grabbed a fistful at spaghetti and tossed it at Lily. Spaghetti never went very far, and when it did, it went in completely the wrong direction.

A rather annoyed Adrian Wood stood up.

That is so NOT COOL! No one throws spaghetti at the quidditch captain! And grabbed some mashed potatoes and started chucking them at Sirius. Too bad not all of the potatoes reached their intended mark.

Remus stood up angrily. NO ONE throws mashed potatoes at my book! And with that he heaved up the large bowl of punch on the middle of the table and sent it sloshing down Gryffindor table.

Soon, chaos reigned in the Great Hall.

James ducked as he started singing, mostly to reassure himself his head was still untarnished.

First I was afraid

I was petrified

James was singing loud now, and unfortunately, very off pitch.

Kept thinking I could never live

without you by my side

The song was getting catchy, Remus (who was a slightly better singer than James) joined in.

But I spent so many nights

thinking how you did me wrong

I grew strong

I learned how to carry on

Sirius started humming and twirling around while tossing a bowl of chocolate pudding at Thomas Bell.

and so you're back

from outer space

I just walked in to find you here

with that sad look upon your face

Lily was trying to resist the catchy melody, her hips jerking wilding as she tried to restrain them.

I should have changed my stupid lock

I should have made you leave your key

If I had known for just one second

you'd be back to bother me

Lily soon stopped resisting and joined in. (you go girl!)

Go on now go walk out the door

just turn around now

'cause you're not welcome anymore

weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

James was neatly pirouetting while avoiding someone's bologna sandwich.

you think I'd crumble

you think I'd lay down and die

Oh no, not I

By this point, there was a loud intake of breath as the school prepared for the big refrain:

I will survive

as long as i know how to love

I know I will stay alive

I've got all my life to live

I've got all my love to give

and I'll survive

I will survive

James, who had decided he could not avoid being in the food fight much longer, decided to join in, hitting Lily with a lemon meringue pie.

It took all the strength I had

not to fall apart

kept trying hard to mend

the pieces of my broken heart

it was truly a strange once-in-a-lifetime sight, the whole school was boogying while covered from head to foot in a colorful array of what once was edible food.

and I spent oh so many nights

just feeling sorry for myself

I used to cry

At this point, boogie Dumbledore decided to make an entrance in a hot pink jumpsuit and a large amount of hair upon his head (do you like it? It's my natural!)

James snorted at this but kept on singing, swinging his hips while ducking every so often to avoid the wrath of Lily, who was flinging grapefruits at him while singing along.

Now I hold my head up high

and you see me

somebody new

I'm not that chained up little person

still in love with you

By this time the tables had been cleared to opposite ends of the room and the students formed a choreographed group, singing and dancing in seamless unison (with the exception of Sirius, who was all over the place, enthusiastically tripping everyone in sight) lead by the hot pink boogying Dumbledore.

and so you felt like dropping in

and just expect me to be free

now I'm saving all my loving

for someone who's loving me

The song ended abruptly and the students sat back down after having retrieved their house tables.

Lets do that AGAIN! said Sirius, licking some custard tart off his hand.

Dinner ended and the students departed, most of them to take showers to wash all the offending bits of various people's dinners off themselves.

James was the first up to the dorm. HAHA! Got here before ya! I got dibs on the shower!

……………dang…………….


Ten minutes later:

James scrubbed good naturedly at his arm, which was coated with orange soufflé and tomato sauce, humming a vaguely familiar tune….

……………I will survive…………..as long as I know as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive………….


What did you think! Truly inspired this chapter, truly inspired. So funny to write, I hope you laughed as much as I did!

Love, Oliversangel
