Powers That Be Chapter 10 - Round #4
Lily's POV
It is now right after Christmas Vacation, and all of us had decided to stay. This way, we could get the competition out of the way. Besides, if I had gone home, I'd have to help Mom plan the wedding.
For competition, the girls and I decided to sing That Just Isn't Me. The song, in a way, fits my life at the moment.
I'm supposed to be in love with James, and I guess I am in a way, but it's just so hard to show. James really hurt my by automatically turning on me the moment I was sorted into Slytherin. I thought he had more trust in me than that.
Also, Severus and Lucius came back to Hogwarts with bad news; their parents are forcing them to join the Death Eaters. The menace that is Lord Voldemort is growing by the day. He needs to be stopped!
Alice is now engaged to Frank Longbottom, and I do not want two of my best friends to be raising their families in these conditions.
Speaking of Voldemort, I was approached by Professor Dumbledore, as were the other members of the Shadow Rulers. We are now proud members of the Order of the Phoenix.
Love is the thing
That all are meant to have
But if that's the case
Then how did it skip me?
What is love?
I don't really know
I don't understand
What is love?
To feel that thing
That just isn't me
I don't feel love
And I never have
I don't think I ever will
It just isn't me
What is love?
I don't really know
I don't understand
What is love?
To feel that thing
That just isn't me
Everyone could die
And I would feel no grief
I don't understand
Ths feeling I'm meant to have
What is love?
I don't really know
I don't understand
What is love?
To feel that thing
That just isn't me
So stop asking me
If I feel for you
You should understand
That just isn't me
What is love?
I don't really know
I don't understand
What is love?
To feel that thing
That just isn't me
What is love?
I don't really know
I don't understand
What is love?
To feel that thing
That just isn't me
What is love?
I don't really know
I don't understand
What is love?
To feel that thing
That just isn't me
James' POV
Over Christmas break, we were invited to join the Order of the Phoenix. My parents are part of it, so I knew a little about the organization, so I joined immediately, as did my friends. I just hope we find a way to stop Voldemort. If Lily ever forgives me, I don't want to raise our children with him terrorizing the country.
Peter wasn't invited, though. I wonder why, but I know that Dumbledore told us not to talk to him about it. Maybe it's because of Peter's bad grades?
We had our Battle of the Bands round this morning, and we sang Perfect, by Simple Plan. When the results came in, we had placed second, yet again. Surprise must be an amazing band, as they have never placed anything but first.
Speaking of Surprise, every single song they have sang has been by Snake's Nirvana. I can't wait to hear how Surprise is doing, as Snake's Nirvana is a tough name to live up to.

Peter's POV
Dumbledore called all of my 'friends' to his office today, and I don't' know why. I wonder if I should report it to the Dark Lord? Probably not, as I will only be punished since I don't know why they were called, and they won't tell me, either. I will have to wait for them to slip up, and tell me why the Headmaster wanted to speak with them.
