A/N: Cora here. Ok, I said I would explain, and though it took me like half a year, here it is.

In another of my unwritten stories, Lily Potter becomes a world-famous singer. But anyway, she's very eccentric... she has these amazing ideas and her voice is really great, and since she had loads of money she could do whatever she wanted to anyway. So what she did is, she invited all the artists who sang these songs, and used all their musical talents (most of them play instuments) to create new versions of the songs, and she made them all flow into one another, and it made one whole big song that she released as a whole CD (it was really long) and the CD and song was called My Story. But her big project was when she made a music video of the whole thing. So, that's why it's like a story around the songs. If you have any questions or whatever, e-mail me. Anyway, continuing.

James followed the rest of his reserve team onto the bus. The regular Montrose Magpies had all gotton sick, so the reserve team was coming out to Wales to play the Holyhead Harpies. James took a seat in the back, in front of a young blonde woman. As he sat silently, staring out the window, the woman leaned over the back of the seat.

"Why the long face?"

"None of your business." He glared out the window.

She finger-combed the tips of his hair. "You can tell me."

"It's about my girlfriend." he grudgingly said. "My ex-girlfriend, that is. I mean, why did she break up with me? We were perfect for each other. I know. It's way too wierd." And he found himself spilling his story to this stranger. He didn't even know her name.

You found hope
You found faith
Found how fast she could take it away

Found true love
Lost your heart
Now you don't know who you are

She made it easy
Made it free
She made you hurt 'till you couldn't see

Sometimes it stops
Sometimes it flows
But baby that is how love goes...

You will fly and you will crawl
God knows even angels fall
No such thing as you've lost it all
God knows even angels fall

It's a secret
No one tells
One day it's heaven, one day it's hell

It's no fair
Take it from me
That's the way it's supposed to be

You will fly and you will crawl
God knows even angels fall
No such thing as you've lost it all
God knows even angels fall

You laugh, you cry, no one knows why
But oh the thrill of it all
You're on the ride, you might as well open your eyes...

Weeee-oooo weeeee-oooo crackle crackle crackle crackle ps I did it again -no- weeee-ooooo crackle crackle -is there anything good on the radio?- crackle weeee-oooooo crackle crackle you believe in life after love? -oo good-

I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say,
I really don't think you're strong enough, no.

Lily loved dance-pop. It was so happy and fun to dance to, hence the name dance-pop. She was dressing up to go to a dance that Morgana had organized to get all the old Hogwarts people together. Which meant that James would be there.

However, Lily hadn't thought of James in ages... she didn't even know what he was up to at all. SHe wasn't even thinking that he would be at the dance.

No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talkin' to you
It's so sad that you're leavin'
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one...

The party doors swung open. Lily always had a habit of being just a tad late... *cough drama queen cough*. But today she was just wearing a simple green dress with her hair in two braids.

"Hey awesome, this song was playing on the radio at my house!"

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say,
I really don't think you're strong enough, no

She danced, and talked with her old school friends. It was great to be back to some semblance of normality, away from all that teaching stuff.

What am I supposed to do,
Sit around and wait for you
Well I can't do that
And there's no turnin' back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
'Cos I've had time to think it through
,N' maybe I'm too good for you, ohhh

"Hey Lily!" Morgana called from the DJ. "Come over here and sing!" Lily went over and picked up the mike, but as as her eyes scanned the room, she spotted two people sitting on the couch... oh no way! That can't be... James? WITH SOMEONE ELSE!!!! She forced herself to calm down... breathe... it's ok alright!

"Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no..." she shook her head, tears filling her eyes, as she realized just what she was singing. And, with a glance at James snogging on the couch, she bolted out the door.

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no

She was sitting on the dark cold street, crying her eyes out, her heart still singing the tune...

Well I know that I'll get through this
'Cos I know that I am strong
And, I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
No, I don't need you anymore....

She stood up defiantly.

Yes I believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really do think I'm strong enough, oh

And she ran back to the party, and back up to the mike, and sang in particular to a certain couple on the couch...

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say,
I really don't think you're strong enough, no.

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say,
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
