Last time this chapter began, I spoke of how the girls all failed at something. James is no different from the girls, he can't do something too. And that's keep secrets. Neither can Sirius...

"Hey, what's this?" Anne-Marie asked one morning as she walked up to the message board, Léon following her with an arm around her waist.
"Je believe theese ees a poster for a movie." Léon remarked as he read the poster.
"What are you looking at?" asked Lily as she came in through the portrait whole, quickly followed by James.
"It's a poster for a movie or play or something." Said Paige as she read over the paper. "It says here that Harry and Ginny are going to be directing a movie, musical movie to be exact. It's based off of how school is in America...It says here the cast gets to go to America for 5 months!"
"Well, its November right now and it says they'll start filming in January right after break, so that's in..." Remus quickly did the math. "We'll come back at the end of May."
"What's the Musical Movie called anyway?" asked Tara, scanning the scroll.
"It says that they'll tell everyone everything at the auditions, including the title. They only say that it's being held in America and that auditions are on Saturday, that being tomorrow." Sirius said.
"Well, let's go sign up!" James said excitedly. He grabbed Lily's hand and dragged her out towards the great hall where the flyers said the sign up sheets were the others quickly in tow.

"Ok, could everyone please settle down please? Thank you!" Harry said with a microphone in his hand. He was standing on a stage in a newly found room that was huge and unused. Everyone was sitting on long benches that were in tight rows.
"Ok, today you have come here to audition for a part in our Musical Movie, 'Stuck in the Middle'. It's about American kids at a public muggle school who are all friends, but get so caught up in trying to reach the top that they forget about their friendship. It's about backstabbing, double crossing kids.
"Now, you can be any age, but we request that the main characters be in at least 6th year, preferably 7th. Kids that are younger will be able to have minor parts or be background characters since this school goes from 5th grade to 12th grade, or 1st year to 6th year, but 7th years can play the 12th graders, who are 16 years to 17 years old. Ok, let's get started."
Harry quickly took out a scroll and unfurled it. "To show you how we'll be doing this, we will be demonstrating how this will work. Ginny will be showing us how to do a main dancing part, and if you want to be a main character, girls, you are almost all having to be cheerleaders and will have to try out in the dancing part of this audition. So, with out further ado, Ginny White!" Everyone clapped politely as Harry got off the stage and went behind curtain.
Quick beats started, drums and guitars, and a bright red and golden dressed woman came spinning out spinning fast quickly to the upbeat rhythm. Suddenly the beat stopped and so did Ginny freezing in a perfect pose. There was a quickly noise in the background as if some one was tapping a pair of drumsticks together. Ginny tapped her foot to the clicking and then suddenly spun around to face the side of the stage.
The beat got quicker again and Ginny's ruffled dress spun as she moved her hips to the beat and walked toward the side of the stage and offered out her hand to no one that could be seen. Harry stepped out in black pants and a white button up shirt. He took Ginny's hands and together they moved quickly across the floor. Harry spun Ginny quickly then lifted her up and through her into the air side ways, spinning her. The music stopped suddenly just as Harry spun her again and she leaned back on Harry's hand.
Everyone clapped loudly, looking clearly impressed. "Now," Ginny said panting slightly. "Ok, that was pant an example of how pant a dancing part can be performed." Ginny gulped in more air, clearly tired.
"You don't have to dance like that, pant you can choose any dance you want or like pant." Harry said loudly. "Alright, now, if you're doing a singing audition, you can do it in a pair or as a solo. We will be providing music and lyrics to each of you randomly so no need to get all worked up on choosing a song to sing."
"Ok, here's the list of singers. First up is, James Potter." James took a deep breath then stood up. He walked up the steps to the stage. Many of the girls that were apart of the JPL group, or the James Potter Lovers group and most that weren't a part of it stood and cheered loudly.
"And, now, please give a warm welcome to James Potter singing Confidence, For You I Will!" James looked completely confused now as a microphone and a scroll with music on it were thrusted into his hands. 'For you I will? Where the hell did that come from?' James thought as the music started.
James began to get that nervous panic feeling, and his hands shook so slightly only he noticed. He was about to drop the microphone in embarrassment, but then he saw bright green encouraging eyes through the bright lights that masked the other faces. Lily was so close to the front he could just make her out through the blinding lights. She was smiling. She believed he could do it! Quickly looking down at the lyrics, he was just able to make the part where he was supposed to start singing:
"I'm
wandering the streets, in a world underneath it all
Nothing seems
to be, nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have
Like you
and the way that you're twisting your hair
round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you."
James began to feel more confident, he could do this!
"Oh,
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball
into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will, For you I will"
James smiled at the look on everyone's faces that were close enough for him to make out. Pure shock was on each of them, except Lily. She was smiling proudly at him.
"Forgive
me if I st-stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
Cuz I
could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem
familiar, I've crossed you in hallways
a thousand times, no more
camouflage
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall.
Oh,
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball
into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But
I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will, For you I will, For you I will
For you"
The music began to get quieter and James continued to sing.
"If I
could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood (yeah) I would
Shout out your name so it echos in every room
Yeah
That's what I'd do, That's what I'd do to get through to you, yeah"
The drums got louder and the music louder.
"Oh, I'm gonna muster every
ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm
gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You
always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna
muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will, For you I
will, For you I will"
Everyone cheered loudly and James stood there and watched as Harry walked up onto the stage.
"Nice job, James." Harry whispered to him. James smiled and walked to his seat where he was greeted by the others.
"Wow, James, who knew you could sing?" Tara joked as Lily pushed past her.
"James, that was awesome!" Lily threw her arms around James. She moved forward and whispered in his ear. "I'll thank you more for the beautiful singing later." James grinned as Harry announced her name. "Wish me luck!" and she was gone. James sat down and was quite glad when he noticed the others hadn't seen him or Lily just a moment before. They had been eagerly awaiting who would be announced next.
"And now, Lily Evans singing Me + U!" once again, no one, including Lily, knew the song, but cheered exicitedly just the same. Lily listened carefully and quickly skimmed over the lyrics as the music began to play.
"You've been waiting so long; I'm here to answer your calls
I know that I shouldn't have had you waiting at all
I've been so busy, but I've been thinking 'bout- what I wanna do wit you
I know them other guys, they've been talking 'bout the way I do what I do
They heard I was good, they wanna see if it's true
They know you're the one I wanna give it to
I can see you want me too...Now it's Me & U
"It's Me & U now (uh) I've been waiting (waitin)
Think I'm gonna make that move now
Baby Tell me if you like it (tell me if you like it)
It's Me & U now
I've been waitin
Think I'm gonna make that move now
Baby tell me if you like it"
Lily continued to sing, James smiling as she did.
"I was waitin for you to tell me you were ready
I know what to do if only you would let me
As long as you're cool with it I'll treat ya right
Here is where you wanna be
I know them other guys, they've been talkin 'bout the way I do what I do
They heard I was good they wanna see if it's true
They know you r the one I wanna give it to
I can see you want me too
And now it's Me & U
It's Me & U now (baby it's)
I've been waitin (Me & U)
Think I'm gonna make that move now (I'm thinkin 'bout making that move)
Baby tell me if you like it (Tell me if you like it, uh huh, hey!)
Think I'm gonna make that move now (gonna make a move)
Baby tell me if you like it"
She moved around the stage a bit as she continued.
"Baby I'll love you all the way down (uh)
Get you right where you like it
I promise you'll like it (I swear)
Just relax and let me make that move (It's our secret babe)
We'll keep it between Me & U
It's Me & U now (oh yeah, yeah)
I've been waitin
Think I'm gonna make that move now (move now)
Baby tell me if you like it (tell me if you like it)
It's Me & U now (yeah, yeah, uh)
I've been waitin
Think I'm gonna make that move now (gonna make a move now)
Baby tell me how you like it (uh huh)
It's Me & U now (me and u)
I've been waitin (its just me and u)
Think I'm gonna make that move now (it's just us two)
Baby tell me if you like it (it's just me and you now)"
The song finished and every one cheered loudly. Lily handed the microphone to Ginny who took it with a smile.
"Next up Sirius Black!" Ginny read off the list. And so it continued, everyone getting their turn to sing. One of the best was Cissy Chang, a beautiful Japanese Ravenclaw. She sang a song called 'Unfaithful'. She did very well, and everyone was convinced she'd get the lead girl role. She was, after all, in 7th year, so she was the right age.
"Ok everyone!" Harry said happily as everyone calmed down. "Ginny and I are going to review all of the singers, and then figure out what characters they played the best. We then will put them together on the call back list. We'll see how well they can act, and then see how well they can dance if their parts require dancing. After the call backs, we'll post who will be playing what. Everyone will get a part, so if you don't get a call back, don't worry, you'll still get a call back."
He then dismissed everyone. As everyone was leaving, Ginny walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Do you think this'll get them together properly?" Harry whispered.
"I sure hope so." Ginny replied. "Let's go, dinner is in half an hour." Suddenly, Harry's watch began to beep and flash. He tapped it and a screen opened. It was a message from McGonagall.
"What does it say?" Ginny asked, trying to get a better look at the screen.
"She says there's something growling in a third floor closet door. There's a huge crowd of students around it, we can't miss it. She wants to investigate."
"Fine with me, maybe it's a boggart and one of the kids that's near it is afraid of dogs or something..."
"What ever it is, we'll find out in a minute."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX FORWARD TO THE FUTURE XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It was full moon, and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was under attack. Death Eaters were swarming, swooping and running, crashing and banging, hurting and breaking through out the building, all looking for the Boy Who Lived. He had gone supposedly missing after killing Voldemort, but they begged to differ. Obviously that old fool Dumbledore had taken him and tried to hide him away from them. But they were going to find them.
"We know he's here, Dumbledore!" Lucius Malfoy shouted out the castle as Order Members continued to attack them. "And we want him; he killed our master, so we kill him!" Suddenly, a large black dog with deep blue eyes and a strong grey wolf with yellow flashing eyes came charging at him, biting and clawing at him. "Get off me, you wretched animals!" Two Death Eaters ran up and froze them.
"Tie them up and through them in a broom cupboard. Be sure to lock the door." Malfoy spat as the animals were dragged away to a near by broom cupboard. They were tossed carelessly in and then were knocked out by numerous spells the Death Eaters cast on them before they slammed the door and turned the key. The wolf and the dog both felt light headed and dizzy. Lights danced in front of their eyes as they slowly passed out.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Slowly the dog groaned and it opened its heavy eyes. Everything ached, and as he lifted his head off the ground, he realized how stiff his neck was. He looked over at the still passed out wolf and nudge it gently with his paw. The wolf groaned slightly and opened one bleary eye. The wolf looked around, his eyes falling on the ropes that bound both of their paws. He slowly began to bite away at them, the dog copying.
They stood up and noticed how cramped it was in the tiny closet. They looked at each other and both at the same time pressed their ears to the crack under the door. They heard chattering and laughing, but no shouting or screaming. The wolf sat down and through back his head. He let out a load angry howl. The dog began scratching at the door and barking loudly. They heard shouting and screams and panicked running. Let us out, let us out! They both thought and bean whining and howling even louder.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Harry and Ginny quickly made their way down the halls and passages until they found the right closet and students. They shouted and pushed at each other, trying to make room for the professors to pass by. Ginny and Harry looked at each other, alarmed, as they heard the howling and barking coming from the inside. Ginny moved forward silently and jiggled the handle a bit. It was locked. Harry looked at her and she nodded. She moved behind him as he raised his wand.
"Alohamora!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX FORWARD TO THE FUTURE XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Sirius!" Mrs. Weasley shouted as she searched through out the castle. The Death Eaters had left when the ministry had arrived, and though some had been captured, most had escaped.
"Remus! Where are you?" Ron called as he searched as well, Hermione by his side.
"If y'all lookin' for that ruddy dog and wolf, they ain't comin'." One of the captured Death Eaters said gruffly.
"What do you mean?" Dumbledore asked?
"Me and a friend bound 'em up an' chucked 'em in a broom cupboard. Tha' one righ' there." He pointed out the door, and the others ran over to it. They tugged at the door, soon unlocking it with a spell. It was empty.
"Well I be damned! They escaped, an' me an' my friend tried 'em tight!" The Death Eater cried.
"You don't think?" Mr. Weasley said to Dumbledore.
"They've joined Ginny and Harry now, where ever they are."
