What I go to school for
That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
You can call me crazy
I know that she craves me
That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
Girlfriends I've had plenty
None like Miss Mackenzie
That's what I go to school for
That's what I go to school for Busted
The evening seemed to be a blur for Sirius. He didn't even bother listening to the famous hat; neither did he seem to pay attention to James and Lily flirting.
"Creevey, Henry."
James turned his ears towards the hat.
"GRYFFINDOR!" shouted the hat.
As Henry sat on the table shaking, Harry patted him on the shoulder.
"See, told you," he said with a wink. After giving announcements, Dumbledore announced the food to be served.
It was brilliant: a colour of food flushed across the tables. James caught Sirius eye and smiled. Sirius showed no expression and looked away.
"James, there's something wrong with him," hissed Remus, next to James. Peter was at the other end of the table with Sirius.
"What?" asked James.
"You see, he whispered to himself when you went off.err something like 'well, goodbye James' - I think you went a bit far. Making his expectations come true isn't the best thing."
"Then what do you think I should do? Tell him it was all a joke? He'd kill me."
"He has a point Lupin," said Lily.
"Oh what you can do, J, is that you prove your are his best friend, and you are his. Then he won't feel hurt."
"But." said James.
"There is no but."
"But."
"But the problem is that it won't teach him a lesson about Lily."
"Exactly. There is a but."
Remus rolled his eyes. "Just talk to him after the feast. Look at him, not eating anything."
Sirius wasn't moving, except he was playing with his food.
"Sirius, didn't your mother tell you to not play with your food?" said James, joking around.
Sirius finally ate, but with no expression. This was strange, James thought. He usually loves the food here.
After the feast, James and Lily went to show the new Gryffindors their common room.
"Perfect place to chill, don't you think?" asked James, in response he got some nods.
"And upstairs there are two doors marked for girls and boys' dormitories." Said Lily, not bothering to say which was which. "Now, goodnight all."
The young Gryffindors went up the stairs.
"Goodnight to you too, Jamie," said Lily, who kissed him on the cheek while Sirius was watching, disgusted.
"Night to you too," said James.
Sirius approached James. "What the hell was that?" he asked.
James smirked. "Err, my girlfriend duh," he said.
"No, that's not what I mean." Sirius frowned.
"Oh," said James. "Hey, we're still buds if you feel left out."
"Well, you're not expressing it very well," said Sirius. "You have a heart. I don't. I don't get it."
James' smile faded. "Oh, how you ditched her you mean?"
"Yeah." Lily heard this from upstairs, and smiled.
James smiled. "Hey, you'll get it some day, I did," said James. "Now, plans on the latest prank."
"But we're prefects!"
"Oh, we just tell people what to do, and they do it for us. I.e. Snape and Malfoy."
Sirius split into one of James' identical grins.
"You mean the muggle ball? Perfect."
"What I go to school for, even though it's a real bore.what you looking at?"
James smirked at Lily. "I don't remember 'what you looking at' being part of the lyrics."
Lily grimaced. "Oh, Jamie being so smart? How would you know anyways? You listen to punk music to all I know."
James rolled his eyes. "I just know, as it comes up on the radio loads. I hate it."
"Catching tune, isn't it?"
"Unfortunately, yes," said James, as he sat down on the sofa, brushing his wet hair.
"Hey! Careful with that hair, I don't want me wet." Lily backed off, magically drying hers. It went straight, and then she flicked it over her shoulder.
"Well, tough." James dried his hair in the same fashion then used gel to style it. "Do you think I should put spikes so it'll attract the ladies?"
"It'll get McGonagall's attention alright," said Lily putting on some lipstick. " 'Potter, what do you think you've done to your hair?' Think about it. The girls will think you're a weirdo. Here, I'll fix it." She straightened out his hair, which made him look more attractive.
"Wow Lil, you know how to fix a guy's hair," said James, looking himself in the mirror. "Hey look, a couple of chicks now."
Emma and Alice just giggled, and blushed at their crush.
"Thanks Lil," said James, and we winked. "See you at breakfast, or shall we walk down together?"
"I think I shall come, Mr. Potter," said Lily, after putting her hair into a ponytail.
"Don't put it into a ponytail!" said James, frantically. "Leave it down."
Lily took her hair tie out and combed her hair with a wide toothcomb. "Happy?"
"Yeah, boys would think you're a veela doing that," said James. Lily laughed, and took his arm as they walked to breakfast.
Peter was upstairs, hearing the same music in his head of what he heard from Lily's voice this morning. He knew the song well.
"None like Miss Treclawney, that's what I go to school for, that's what I go to school for."
"What you say Peter?" muffled Sirius.
"Nothing, nothing at all," stammered Peter.
Remus had heard what he said. He started to laugh really loudly, that the people from the common room started to think there was a mad man.
"Nice one Peter," said Remus. "Who next, McGonagall?" Sirius heard this and started to walk around with curiousity.
"Shut it," he said, putting his small hands into a ball. "Please don't tell anyone."
"Latest gossip: what next?" said Sirius, finally putting his hearing senses to use.
"Wait til James knows." Remus whispered.
Peter frowned.
