"Hey, look you guys." Lily said, as she and Peter tried to hold James and Sirius back from killing Remus. "Tamika's going to sing."
"Tamika?" Sirius asked, shocked. "Shy little Tamika? Singing by herself?"
"Looks like it." Remus said, thankful they were no longer trying to strangle him. He didn't know it yet, but James had just cast a Glue Charm on his chair. He'd find out the next time he tried to stand up though.
Timidly, Tamika walked out onto the stage. Her boyfriend, Frank Longbottom, was sitting in the front row, silently encouraging her.
"And now we have Tamika Hansen singing What's Forever For." Dumbledore announced.
"Malfoy is still trying to talk to Narcissa." Sirius noticed. Narcissa was still ignoring him, talking in hushed tones to Snape. "I wonder if I could get to her before he manages to win her back?"
"You want to go out with her?" Remus asked incredulously. "Aren't you the one who dubbed her and her friends the Ravenclaw Loonies? Not to mention the fact that you swore never to date anyone who had dated a Slytherin."
"She's female and she's single. Therefore, she is fair game." Sirius replied with a grin.
"Sirius, be quiet." Lily hissed. "Tamika's about to start singing."
Tamika-
I've been looking at people
And how they change with the times
And lately all I've been seeing are people
Throwing love away and losing their minds
Or maybe it's me that's gone crazy
'Cause I can't understand why
All these lovers keep hurting each other
When good love is so hard to come by
So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Then tell me what's forever for?
I've been listening to people
And they say love is the key
And it's not my way to let them lead me astray
It's only that I want to believe
But I see love-hungry people
Trying their best to survive
While in their hands is a dying romance
And they're not even trying to keep it alive
So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for?
"She has a really nice voice too." Peter said as they cheered for their fellow Gryffindor. "I wonder who'll be up next?"
"Nobody good, I can tell you that." Sirius spoke up.
"How do you know that?" Lily asked.
"Because Snape is walking towards the stage again."
"Oh God." Lily moaned.
"Yes?" Sirius asked. Lily immediately hit him in the head. "Oww. James, Lily hit me."
"You brought it on yourself, you know." James smiled.
"Did not."
"Did so."
"Did not."
"Did so."
"And the award for least mature argument goes to James and Sirius." Remus interrupted.
"Yay!" Sirius cried, immediately. "I'd like to thank everyone who made this possible, except James, because he's a git."
"Am not."
"Are so."
"Am not."
"Are so."
Everyone else just sighed in frustration and covered their ears in an attempt to drown them out.
