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
