"LILY!" Sirius screamed, making her jump as he approached her in the Great Hall.
"Yes, Sirius?" she asked once she was safely back in her seat again.
Sirius sat on the bench next to her, "You will never ever ever and I mean NEVER guess what I got over the break."
"Okay..." Lily said, "What did you get, then?"
"Guess!"
Lily glared at him, "You just told me you I would never guess."
"Oh, right," Sirius said, "Then I guess I'll tell you," he paused before spitting out real fast, "I got a Karaoke machine!"
Lily laughed, "That's what all this is about?"
Sirius mock-gasped, "It's awesome! We're having a singing competition in a few minutes and you're first. So, hurry."
Lily actually gasped, "I'm not singing in front of everyone!"
"Silly Lily, you're not going to sing in front of everyone," Sirius said. Lily let out a sigh of relief. "It's just going to be the Gryffindors!"
And with that he grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her out of the hall.
Lily looked out into the overflowing Common Room. Why had she agreed to do this? Oh, wait, she hadn't!
Stupid Sirius Black. He forces her into everything.
The music to her song started playing and Sirius gave her a thumbs up and a grin. Lily took a deep breath and started singing.
"If I fell in love with you, would you promise to be true?
And help me understand, 'cause I've been in love before,
And I found that love was more than just holding hands."
"Woah," Peter said to Remus, not bothering to keep his voice down, "She has a horrible voice."
Everyone around turned and looked at him like he was crazy.
"Peter are you tone deaf?" Remus asked.
"Yeah, I think so," Peter nodded.
"That explains a lot right now."
"If I give my heart to you, I must be sure from the very start,
That you would love me more than her."
"I wonder who she's singing to," Peter wondered aloud. "There seems to be some kind of meaning under her words."
Remus slapped a hand to his forehead. Sometimes Peter was just so thick.
Lily finished has song and everyone clapped. She smiled shyly and stepped down from the stage area Sirius had made, handing the microphone to James as she passed him. She blushed a deep red when she noticed him staring at her.
"Next is (next is, next is) James Potter (Potter, Potter)," Sirius's voice echoed in the microphone.
Lily smiled and shook her head, thumping Sirius on the back of the head before going to sit with Peter and Remus.
"How was it, Lily?" Peter asked kindly, "Did it taste good on your tongue?"
Lily stared at Peter strangely before shaking her head, "No, it didn't, Peter. It tasted like old paint."
James walked onto the stage with confidence, grinning at the cheering crowd.
His track began and he started dancing. Even Lily had to admit that he was a good dancer.
"Oh, yeah, I'll tell you something I think you'll understand,
When I say that something, I want to hold your HAND!"
"I don't want to be mean, but he's not very good," Lily said to Peter.
"Are you kidding? He's amazing!"
Remus looked at Peter and shook his head, then turned to Lily and whispered, "He's tone deaf."
Lily giggled, "Which one?"
Remus smirked, "I think both."
"Oh, please, say to me you'll let me be your man,
And please say to me you'll let me hold your hand!"
Peter nodded his head with what he thought was the beat to the music. Lily fought hard to hold in her laughter as she watched him.
"And when I touch y-"
Remus went up and cut the track.
Everybody booed.
"Wow, Remus," Sirius said, shaking his head, "Way to crush a guys dream."
James jumped off the stage and walked towards the seats, waving at the people who were booing.
"Thanks, Remus, you saved me from having to read her poetry like you said to," James whispered as he passed on his way to sit with Lily and Peter.
"I didn't say to read her poetry," Remus hissed, but James wasn't listening.
Sirius suddenly got an idea and turned back to his microphone.
"Okay, everybody (everybody, everybody) we have a new (new, new) singer up next (next, next) one of my very best mates, REMUS LUPIN!"
Everybody cheered loudly. Remus blushed deep red.
"Wh-what? No, I-I can't. I have to...to go to change my...my socks."
Sirius laughed and repeated what he said into the microphone before adding, "Remus Lupin, you're a liar (liar, liar) so, you better get up on that stage (stage, stage) right now (now, now)."
Then he pushed Remus onto the stage.
Every Gryffindor cheered loudly.
"Woo! Go, Remus!" Lily joined in, laughing with Peter and James.
"Okay, Remus," Sirius said, going through his music, "You are going to sing I Saw Her Standing There by The Beatles."
"Alright, what's with all the Beatles music?" Lily exclaimed.
"The Beatles are awesome so shut up," Sirius hissed.
Lily put her hands up in surrender.
"I don't know that one, Sirius," Remus reminded him.
"Oh, well. You should have thought of that before you picked it, shouldn't you...have - done - yeah?" Sirius said, confused at the last part of his sentence and tried to cover it up by starting the track.
Remus tried to scream over the music, but Sirius turned it up louder everytime he said something. Sirius threw some cards with the words on them to Peter, who missed catching them, but picked them up and held them up for Remus to follow.
"Well, she was just 17, you know what I mean,"
"Wait, I don't know what that means," Remus said, but quickly had to start singing again.
"And the way she looked was beyond compare,"
"Ooooh, I get it now," Remus said.
"STOP TALKING!" Sirius said through his laughter, "You're ruining the mood!"
"So, how could I dance with another. OOOH!
When I saw her standin' there."
Lily laughed as Peter dropped the cards and Remus had no words, so he started making up his own.
"Well, I - um, looked at her? And she saw - oh, wait, that doesn't make sense - before too long I fell in love with her...maybe?
So, I went dancing with someone else, but all I could think of was her."
Lily laughed, "He obviously doesn't know this song too well."
"Well, my heart went BANG, CRACKLE, POP!"
Sirius barked out a laugh before falling into peals of laughter, falling on the floor.
Peter was still trying to pick up the cards.
"And we held hands and had a great time! OOOOH!"
James decided to be nice and cut the music, leaving only the sound of obnoxiously loud laughter in the room.
"We danced for a while, and probably held each other close and went outside and walked and talked and did all this other stuff because we're cool and," Remus stopped singing, "Oh, you cut the - the track."
"It's Sirius's turn!" James said, grinning into the microphone and pushing his best mate on stage.
"BANG, CRACKLE, POP!" Sirius sang, still laughing. Remus blushed to his hairline.
"I - I need to go change my socks," Remus muttered before stumbling off the stage and up to his dorm.
Lily giggled loudly. Peter was still trying to pick up the cards.
"Okay, Sirius (Sirius, Sirius) here's your song (song, song)," James said, smirking and playing a very different song. Lily laughed out loud as soon as she heard the music.
Sirius grinned, getting into position with his arms outstreatched like a monkey on either side of him.
"I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together,
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly?
I'm crying."
Fake tears came to Sirius's eyes as he pretended to burst into tears.
"Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come,"
Sirius laughed out his lyrics, making the rest of Gryffindor Tower laugh, too.
"Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday,"
"He really does hate tuesdays," James whispered to Lily, making her laugh.
"Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long."
"What is going on here?"
Sirius's head snapped around to McGonagall, who looked very angry.
Everyone in the Tower started to clear out, but Sirius went up and sang to her,
"I AM THE WALRUS!"
"What are you talking about, Mr. Black?"
"Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye."
McGonagall looked over at Lily and James, who were on the floor laughing. "What is he talking about?"
"He's singing the Beatles, ma'am," Lily choked out through her laughter.
"The Beatles?" she looked confused, but turned to glare at Sirius, "Go to bed, Mr. Black, now."
Sirius gulped and stopped singing, smiling innocently at her "Goodnight."
Then he ran upstairs, screaming as he went, "I AM THE WALRUS!"
Lily and James continued laughing.
McGonagall turned her glare to them, "You, too. Bed now. Go," she took a step towards them when they didn't move, making them jump up and run to their dorms.
She smirked to herself, watching them until they disappeared up their respective dorm staircases.
