All My Life
*~* All Hallows Eve *~*
Witches, pumpkin heads and black bats.
Scary spooks and black cats,
Ooo its Halloween
"Wait until you girls see my costume!" Lily yelled from in the bathroom to her two best friends. It was Halloween, and they were all getting in their outfits for the ball. Lily was in an extra good mood, seeing as though James and her had been together for two weeks now.
"Ready for the unveiling?" Ava asked, herself standing in the closet, and Elle somewhere else in the room. "Ready? One… Two… THREE!"
They all jumped from their respective hiding places, and Ava and Lily's gaze fell upon Elle, who was beautiful.
"Oh my God!" Ava and Lily gasped. Elle was dressed in a flowy white dress, and her hair feathered out. She had bewitched a halo to float above her and she had put a spell on herself to make her glow like an angel.
Elle smiled and looked at her two friends and burst out laughing. Ava and Lily looked at each other and laughed.
"What are you going as, Lily!?" Ava asked, eyeing her friend.
"Obviously the same thing as you, Ava!" Elle laughed. Ava and Lily were both dressed as the devil. Ava in dressed red, and Lily in black. Ava's dress was one-shouldered and shredded at the bottom, with red stiletto heels. Her make-up was done to match, and she had devil horns placed in her loose curled hair. Lily had a slinky floor length sequined black dress that had an open back, and a slit from the thigh down. Her make-up was dark black eyeliner and shiny clear lip-gloss. She too had devil horns in her hair, but her hair was slick straight with little crimped sections.
"We look hot," Lily laughed as she high-fived Ava, and Ava nodded.
"Let's go find the boys." Elle said dragging her friends out into the common room, to greet the boys. As they walked downstairs, they saw James and a…
"A horse?" The girls asked in unison, as the head popped off, and they saw Remus' smiling face.
The girls laughed hysterically, and Lily composed herself enough to ask the next question.
"If you're the head, whose the…" Lily began.
As an answer, the horse split in half and out popped Sirius.
"Yes!" He yelled, "it is me, Sirius! I'm the horses ass!"
The girls laughed hysterically at this, and Sirius realized what he had said.
"Wait, I didn't mean it that way, honestly, I just meant that…" He began, but James interrupted.
"You had it right the first time, Black." James looked at Lily and his eyebrow shot up.
"Someone looks good tonight," he said, as he grabbed her hand.
"And what are you supposed to be young man?" She asked him looking at his costume.
"I dunno, I just thought it looked cool." He shrugged. He was wearing a tux, jacket thrown over the shoulder, a fedora hat with a feather in it, and a cane. (A/N~ I guess you could call him a pimp) Lily laughed as they hugged, and they followed their friends out of the portrait hole, and to the dance.
The Great Hall was decorated in black and orange, with pumpkins looming overhead. The Hogwarts ghosts floated around, minding their own business, as the students stood in awe of the astounding ambience, which was the Great Hall. As they walked in, Dumbledore was walking onto the stage, tapping his goblet in attempts to quiet the crowd. After a few seconds of useless tapping, he cleared his throat loudly and asked for the student's attention.
"Excuse me, students, if I may, I would like to introduce tonight's entertainment."
"Entertainment?" Sirius and James asked while looking at each other, as they each shrugged and grabbed a few chocolate frogs while walking towards their table.
"Yes entertainment." Dumbledore said dryly as he continued, with Sirius whispering something that sounded remotely like, "How the hell did he hear that?"
"Tonight I have asked the band, the Grand Requiem, to play at our humble Halloween dance." Dumbledore finished, and walked off the stage while wishing every one a good night. The lead singer from the Grand Requiem explained to the crowd that they will DJ some slow songs, and play some of their original tunes.
"Who are they?" Sirius asked as he took a swig of pumpkin juice.
"I have no ide..." James began as Elle interrupted.
"How do you not know who they are? Oh my God, are you guys in a hole!?"
"I always thought of myself as hip and with-it." Sirius said reasonably.
"Obviously you are not as hip as you thought you were, Sirius. How could you not know who the Grand Requiem is?" James said sarcastically, getting daggers sent at him from Elle.
"Well if your going to be an ass about it, I don't see why I should…"
"No Elle, continue, we are dying to know all the details about the Big Funeral Song, or whatever the hell their…"
"The Grand Requiem." (A/N: does Requiem mean funeral song? The word just kinda popped into my head. You know all these Punk Rock bands; they have some pretty unusual names. Especially wizard ones.)
"Sorry, easy mistake you see." Sirius smiled, as Elle filled them in that they are 'only the best band on earth and everyone who is anyone loves them.'
But after a few songs, Sirius, Remus, and James were unimpressed, yet all the girls in Hogwarts were less than 5 feet from the stage, entranced by the band.
"I don't get it. They are average looking guys, playing a real shitty song. Am I missing something?" Remus asked, eating his 42nd chocolate frog.
"I think its something about them playing the song, or something to that extent." James said, leaning back in his chair, feet up on the table, twirling his fedora on his index finger.
"That's it!" Sirius yelled, knocking James off balance in surprise, sending him crashing to the floor.
"Black, you ass." James said, standing up and brushing himself off.
"Whats it?" Remus asked.
"We should start a band."
"What?" James said, looking at his best friend as if he was crazy.
"Look at us, three, good-looking guys, all you have to do
is throw in some musical instruments, and bingo! We have hundreds and hundreds of girls begging to touch us, or
even talk to us!"
"When you put it that way…"
James said pondering the thought.
"It sounds brilliant, Sirius." Remus said clapping his hands together.
"Really, you think so?" Sirius smiled proudly as he got out of his chair, tripping over his tail.
"Lets do it!" They said in unison.
"Either of you two know anything about music?" Sirius asked, smiling at the two.
"Well I uh, well," James started, as Remus interrupted.
"I know how to play guitar pretty well." He stated, as Sirius jumped up and down.
"Good! We are off to a good start! What else do we need?" Sirius asked bouncing down the corridor. The boys had decided to desert the girls in their attempts to become famous. Anyhow, the girls hadn't noticed that they had gone yet.
"Some Riddelin." James said.
"Some what?" Sirius questioned, but James shook his head.
"We need a bass player, and a drummer." Remus said, eyeing Sirius.
"I for one, think Sirius should be the drummer. He has a lot of energy that is trapped inside his body." James stated.
"I second that." Remus nodded.
"Looks like you're the bass player, Jim!" Sirius said, and then ran down the hall, knowing full well that James was right behind him. He hated the name Jim.
"I'm going to kill you!" James screamed as he tore after him, Remus laughing silently to himself, walking alone down the corridor, hands in his pockets.
AHHH!!!! It has been months since I last posted. I'm very sorry for that, but I had a MAJOR personal tragedy happen last week. Since then all I have wanted to do was cry and sit alone in my bedroom. But that is no excuse for not writing before that. But the reason I didn't write is because I was severely unmotivated. Ever since I re-posted my story, due to mechanical failure I might add, I have gotten like 4 reviews! I know in the beginning I said that they don't matter, but that I guess is when you have a few a day. But when they stop coming, that's when they matter I suppose. Well this chapter REALLY REALLY REALLY sucked, but its all there is right now. Sorry. Please review.
