A/N: I know, the songs are a bit modern, but bear with me, ok? This is based on a true story, scary or what?
Strangest Friends: Chapter 4
That night, at 7:00 sharp, Lily, Jamie, and Tessa were in their dormitories, looking at their faces, to see if there was anything that Lily's charm didn't do.
Lily had her red hair in a long french braid, with green ribbon flowing through it that matched her robes. She had her close fitting emerald robes on with brown sandals. And, because she did things thorough, she was wearing a short black skirt underneath with a white tank top on.
Jamie had her blonde hair in an elagent twist with some of her curls falling out of it. She had dark violet dress robes, that, too were close fitting. She had black strappy heels on, so that she was now on the same height level as James, they were both quite short. Underneath, she had a short plaid skirt and a white t-shirt sweater.
Tessa had her brown hair back in a clip, with half of it down and curled nicely. She had pale magenta dress robes, also close fitting, on with brown clogs on. She was wearing a knee length one piece, black, spaghetti strap dress on underneath.
They all had a thing with their dress robes showing off their bodies.
With a last look in the mirrors, the three grabbed their purses and left their dorms. They walked into the common room, with many jealous stares from girls as they walked to their dates.
James was wearing his new dress robes, which did bring out his eyes, but clearly had done nothing to tame his hair. Sirius was wearing silver robes, his black hair done nicely, with what looked like some Muggle hair gel. Remus was wearing dark gold robes, his sandy brown hair also looked like he had done nothing with it, but looked handsome, all the same.
"Ready?" James said, offering his arm to Jamie.
"Yep," Jamie said, taking it, and they led the others out the portrait.
When they reached the entrance, Andy was looking at Jamie, his mouth hanging open. He finally mouthed, "One dance!" and Jamie nodded.
Inside the Great Hall, the teachers had decorated. There was streamers of, what looked like, butterflies and fairies. In other places, fairies were fluttering around. The enchanted ceiling was sparkling with stars, which were twinkling like Dumbledore's eyes.
When most of the people had entered the Hall, Professor Dumbledore stood up.
"This is one of the few dances that have been at Hogwarts over the many years. There is no occasion, just that I thought that there should be more fun directed towards the kids. There is also going to be some, er, kareoke, a Muggle tradition. I hope that many of you will participate. Now, please enjoy the cinging of Selena Moon!" he said and sat down. Then, on the stage, a young looking witch appeared, with long black hair and purple highlights. She began to sing her songs.
"Kareoke? What's that?" James asked Jamie, who shrugged back, also being from Wizarding family.
"It's this thing where people go up and sing to songs," Lily said. "It's a lot of fun!"
"Ok," Sirius said, looking at her uncertainly. "Whatever you say."
Selena was singing a fast song, which quickly ended and swiched to a slow song. The six teens stood up, walked to their date, and went out onto the dance floor.
"Well, now isn't this nice," Sirius said, his hands on Lily's waist.
"Isn't it though," Lily said offhandly, looking around.
"Yo, stap out of it, girl," Sirius said, looking at Lily.
"What?"
"You be, my date," Sirius said, his eyes narrowing.
"And you have bad grammar," said Lily, smiling at Sirius. "I know I'm your date. I wasn't planning on going with someone else, OK?"
"Yes you were."
"Was not."
"Ok, let's not go through this and I'll just nod and agree, right?" Sirius said.
"Ok," Lily agreed.
On the other side of the floor, Tessa and Remus were having a chat, far more friendly than Lily and Sirius's.
"Hey, um, Tess?"
"Yeah, Remus?"
"Well, I thought I'd tell you. If Lily hadn't thought up all of us going together, I was going to ask you anyway," Remus said, turning the color of Tessa's robes.
"Oh, really, Remus?" Tessa said, her face brighting up. "That's so sweet! I would have said yes, too!"
"Really?"
"Really really," Tessa said, laying her head on Remus' chest and smiling happily.
Remus, taken off gaurd, looked around, hoping for someone to save him. Seeing no one nearby, he put his hand on her back, hoping it was the right thing to do.
Nearby, James and Jamie were looking at Tessa and Remus.
"He's so clueless," James said, chortling.
"Now, that's not nice," Jamie said, but was laughing just as hard as James.
People began to shoot them nasty looks, which made them laugh more, but they contained their laughter.
"So," James said.
"Yep," Jamie replied.
"Ever notice how extremely pointless these dances are?" James said. "All we do is stand around and watch half the school have public make out sessions."
"True, but, James, you might as well admit it, half the time you are one of them making out," Jamie said, raising her eyebrows.
"Shh, that's our own little secret," James said, twirling Jamie around.
"Haha, that's what you think," Jamie said, and winked to indicate she was joking.
Just then, Selena stopped singing and Professor Dumbledore went up on the stage and said, "Any kareoke takers? No? Well, then, I'm going to have to sing something."
James and Jamie exchanged a look and shook their heads.
Just then the Great Hall was filled with the music of "Dancing Queen."
"Oh, crap," James said, his eyes already watering from laughter.
"Friday night and the lights are low! Looking out for a place to go!" Dumbledore was singing on the stage, a large smile on his face.
Half the school was laughing as hard as they could, grabbing their sides, and the other half was looking around, wondering if they would get in trouble for laughing. Dumbledore, on the other hand, was on stage, belting out the lyrics, with an obvious Snorus charm, smiling as big as ever.
"Go on," Sirius said to Lily after Dumbledore got down. "You know you want to!"
Lily gave Sirius a look, but then grinned evily. "OK!"
She went up to Selena, told her the song, and climbed up onto the stage. Lily smiled at the crowd and winked at her friends.
"Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want," Lily began to sing. Jamie groaned.
"Who is that?" Sirius asked.
"It's a Muggle band, The Spice Girls. Her sister, Petunia, listens to them," Jamie explained. "I aught to know. When I was at her house over the summer, she played them non-stop."
As Lily was singing, "So here's the story for A-Z," James was thinking about the song he was going to sing. But, Remus reached the stage first.
"What's Remus picking?" Jamie asked Tessa.
"You'll see," Tessa answered with a sly smile.
Remus climbed onto the stage and smiled at the crowd. He looked kind of nervous, like this was something he really didn't want to be doing this. He took a deep breath and sang, "Who let the dogs out...um...woof?"
James and Sirius's mouths fell open, and they looked at each other. Lily, Jamie, and Tessa, on the other hand, were laughing extremely loud and were gathering stares, which happened often with this group.
Remus finished his last "Woof?" and James ran to the stage before anyone else could. "Ha!" he said to a boy who sulked away.
The piano filled the room, and everyone hushed for some reason. "I can't stand to fly," James sang. "I'm not that naive."
Sirius and Jamie exchanged looks. "'Superman', Five for Fighting," Jamie whispered.
"I'm just out to find, a better part in me," James sang.
"Did you know he could sing that well?" Sirius asked Jamie. Jamie shook her head in responce.
"Wow," Sirius said, his eyes trasfixed on James.
"Jamie?" a voice came from behind her. It was Andy.
"Hey, Andy," Jamie said, turning around.
"Um, you wanna dance now, while James is up there?" he asked timidly.
"Sure," Jamie smiled. "Sirius, when he comes back down, tell him I'll be right back, k?"
"Sure," Sirius said.
"Thanks, Si," Jamie said and walked with Andy to a nearby clump of people. She put her hands on Andy's shoulders and Andy put his hands on her waist. She looked up at James, but he was to into his singing to notice. She looked back at Andy, who had a look of amazment on his face. Jamie laughed inwardly.
There were some glares from guys collecting on Andy, but Jamie just rolled her eyes. Finally, James' song ended, and she said goodbye to Andy, kissed him on the cheek, and rejoined her friends.
"Well, that was fun," Jamie said.
"You do know that that wasn't a slow song, right?" James asked Jamie.
"Yes, but I just thought that since you were a bit preocqupied, so I thought that I'd take advantage of it," Jamie said quietly.
"Ok," James said.
"Woah, and I was hoping for a fight," Lily said, winking.
"Don't you always?" Sirius asked.
Selena was back on and singing, yet another slow song. The three couples split up and started dancing. Sirius was looking at a group of girls in the corner and Lily was close to slapping him. Tessa and Remus were in "love," I suppose you'd call it. James and Jamie kept apoligizing while Andy kept on walking by.
"You know, I think he's stalking you," James said after Andy got his fifth cup of punch in the last couple of minutes.
"Probably. Should I say something?" Jamie asked James.
James shrugged in responce. "Do you want to start a whole big spiel though?"
"Yeah," Jamie said absentmindly looking around for Andy.
"He's over there," James said, rolling his eyes and jerking his head towards Andy.
"Ok, I'll be right back," Jamie said. "Is that Ok?"
"I'll come with in case we start a cat-fight."
"A cat-fight is between two girls, James," Jamie said, making her way to Andy.
"Sure it is," James said.
Jamie walked up to where Andy was leaning against the wall. "What am I going to say?" she mumbled out the corner of her mouth to James.
"I don't know, this is your deal," James said back.
"Um, hey, Andy? Um, I was wondering, er, were you following me around?" Jamie said, blushing. 'This is so stupid,' she thought.
"What?" Andy said, turning purple (yes, purple.) "Well, yeah, I suppose."
Jamie sighed. "Why?"
"I wanted to see if you and James were really a couple, you know, see if you were going to, uh, kiss or something," Andy said.
"Oh, my God," James said from behind Jamie.
"You what?" Jamie said, giving Andy a look. You know the one.
"Well, uh," Andy stammered. "If you weren't going to kiss, I thought that that meant that we were going out, since we danced, you know."
"What?" Jamie and James said together.
Andy turned bright red. "That's what Severus Snape said to do."
"Yeah, well, Severus Snape is an idiot," James said.
Seeing one of his friends dissed like that, Andy got very offensive. "Oh, yeah, James?"
"What?" James said, looking at Andy.
"James, shut up..." Jamie said.
"Well, prove it then. Prove it that you two are going out. If you don't, then Andy gets to go out with Jamie," a voice came from behind them. It was everyone's favorite Slytherin, Snape.
"Aw, Severus, you got off the, hmm, what did you call it? Potty?" James said.
Snape gave him a look of pure hatred and said, "Well? Are you going to prove it?"
"No..." Jamie said under her breath.
"Yes, we will, right, Jamie?" James said, looking at Jamie with a look of anxiousness in his eye. He could NOT be proven wrong by his rival.
"Fine," Jamie said unwillingly.
"Ok," James said and stood in front of her.
"Be careful, Potter, or I'll have to hurt you," Jamie said under her breath, looking at him.
"Yeah, yeah," James said, and leaned close to Jamie. Their lips met, and a bunch of people gasped around them. It wasn't often that you saw two people of the same clique kiss.
"Oh, yeah, baby!" Lily whooped from nearby.
"What?" James and Jamie both yelled, jumping back from each other.
"Yay! They did it!" Lily yelled again, aproaching them.
"Shit," James said.
"Lily, go away," Jamie said, crossing her arms.
"Booya!" Lily said, continuing to jump around her two friends.
"Oh, God," Sirius said, from the other side of the crowd.
"Woo hoo!" Tessa said, running to them.
"Not you too," Jamie said.
"I knew it! I knew you two had a thing for each other! That's why you're always getting into fights!" Tessa said, dancing around them.
"What's going on over here?" said an authoritive voice.
"No, not Dumbledore," James muttered.
But, there he was. Professor Dumbledore, with his light blue eyes twinkling as brightly as ever.
"Nothing, Professor!" Jamie said before a word could leave Tessa's mouth.
"Ok, then, let us disperse a bit, kids!" he said, turning around and leaving.
After he left, Lily looked at Jamie, smiled and did a little dance.
"Yay!" Tessa said again.
