Chapter Five

















"HALLOWEEN!"

"Padfoot, it is FIVE in the morning," James mumbled grumpily. "*Go back to sleep*!"

"But Halloween means *candy*, Prongs. Have you already forgotten that today is the first LEGAL trip to Hogsmeade this year?" said Sirius.

"Sirius, I *will* kill you," Remus said, rolling over in his bed.

"Can I go wake the girls?" Sirius asked.

"Sure...if you have a death wish," said Remus. "Ally will kill you if you wake her up at this hour."

Sirius paid no attention to Remus' warning, however, and ran out to go and wake Lily, Ally, Kate, and Jenny.

"Five galleons says he's going to come back screaming like a little girl, running from Ally," said Remus.

"I don't doubt it, Moony old friend," said James. He sighed. "We aren't going to get back to sleep, are we?"

"That, Prongs, I highly doubt."

Less than two minutes later, Gryffindor awoke thanks to a piercing scream. Remus and James smiled at each other. "They should be here in three, two, one!"

Sirius burst into the room, Ally close behind.

"Nice call, Moony," said James.

"Thank you, Prongs."

"SIRIUS! STAY STILL!" Ally shouted. Sirius dodged her and ran into the bathroom. "SIRIUS EDWARD BLACK, YOU *WILL* DIE!"

"Please don't let her get me!" Sirius' voice came from the bathroom.

Remus stood and stretched. Then he walked over to Ally and picked her up. He brought her over to the bed and made her sit down.

"Ally, please him keep his reproductive organs," Remus said. "It'd be nice if he could have kids later in life."

"He woke me up," Ally said angrily, nostrols flared. "It is five fifteen in the morning and I am awake. No! He shall die!"

"Ally, please, I'm not in the mood for a bloody mess this morning," said James. "Maybe next time, okay? In fact, next time, we'll let you do whatever you want to him, just not today...we need him on the drums for tonight."

"Sirius, you're lucky you're a good drummer!" Ally shouted. "I'm going in the shower."

With that, she walked out of the boys' dorm. Sirius walked out of the bathroom visibly shaking.

"S-She wants to k-kill me," he stated.

"No shit," said James. "And we're not gonna stop her next time, either!"

"Padfoot, when *are* you going to learn that some people don't like the morning time?"

"Never!"





Down at breakfast, the headmaster stood to speak to the school. Everyone quieted down quickly.

"Good morning, everyone," he said. "Happy Halloween! I trust that Gryffindor House has been awoken by another one of Mr. Black's, er, *cheerful* morning greetings?"

"He nearly lost a very important body part to Ally," James said loudly.

"MR. POTTER!" Professor McGonagall shouted, staring at him.

The headmaster chuckled.

"Yes...now, for years three through seven, there is a Hogsmeade trip today. You may leave after breakfast and you must be back by five o'clock tonight. At seven, the doors to the Great Hall will open to all years and the Marauders will once again take the stage as tonight's entertainment." The Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws cheered at this statement. "Have a wonderful day, everyone!"

He sat back down and starting talking to Professor McGonagall.

"James," said Lily, "why did you have to say 'yes' to playing the dance?"

"What d'you mean, Lils?" James asked, egg hanging out of his mouth.

"We aren't gonna get to dance or hang out or anything like that...it's are one year anniversary!"

"Lils, we don't get to play a lot of live shows," said James. "I love playing live shows. Besides, we're hanging out all day today!"

"James, that's not the point!"

"Lily, shut up," said Ally. She leaned in closer-they were sitting next to each other-and whispered, "I'll take care of the dance. After everyone clears out you and James can dance together, all right?"

Lily smiled.

"Thanks, Ally."

"No problem."





James and Lily went off by themselves, Peter was nowhere to be found, and Kate, Jenny, Sirius, Remus, and Ally went to get some butterbeer.

"What did you tell Lily before to get her off James' back?" Sirius asked.

"Well, I told her that we'd figure out some slow ass song to play so she and James can dance after everyone leaves."

"Wait, we haven't rehearsed it, we don't even know what it *is*, yet we are going to play it?" Remus asked.

"It's never stopped me before," Ally said.

"Er, guys, d'you mind if I dance with someone too? You know, maybe there's a song with no drum part that you can play..."

"Of course, Siri," said Ally. "Even though I shouldn't be doing *you* any favors right now..."

"I said I'm sorry, Ally."

"I know, I'm just playing with you."

(A/N: Okay, enough pointless dialogue...ON TO THE POINTFUL DIALOGUE!)

"So what song do we do?" Remus asked.

"I think it should be an acoustic song," said Jenny. "Those are always romantic."

"Yeah," said Kate. "A nice slow song."

"Well, it isn't gonna be one that we wrote then," said Remus.

"Yeah, I guess not..." Ally said.

A few minutes later, Ally took out her wand and made light bulb appear above her head.

"You know, you could've just said 'I have an idea'," said Remus.

Ally grinned at him.

"What's your idea, Ally?" Kate asked.

"Ever hear the song Soco Amaretto Lime?" Ally asked.

The two boys smiled at her.

"Great idea!"

The two girls, however, had puzzled looks on their faces.

Ally rolled her eyes.

"It's the song I was playing in the dorm while you guys were trying to study the other day," she said.

"Oh yeah! I remember!" said Jenny.

"That's a good one," said Kate.

"Wait a second," said Remus, "you hate playing the acoustic guitar." Ally nodded with a small smile. "Let me guess, you want me to play it and you'll sing, right?"

"I love you, Remus," Ally said, her smile growing.

"Fine."

"Thank you, Re," Ally said, kissing him on the cheek.





By six o'clock, Remus had miraculously learned how to play Soco Amaretto Lime, and quite well, too. The Marauders hot footed it down to the Great Hall so that they could tune up before the dance.





"Happy Halloween, everybody. G'night!"

Remus, Ally, and James put their instruments on the stands and Sirius put his drum sticks in the can.

"I love playing live!" James said as they got drinks of butterbeer.

"Me too," said Sirius.

The hall cleared out pretty quickly. The only people left were the Marauders, Jenny, Kate, and Lily.

Kate and Jenny were just about to leave when Sirius ran up to them.

"Hey, Kate," he said, "can I have a word?"

"Sure, Sirius," said Kate. "I'll see you in the dorm, Jenny."

"Yep, bye."

"What's up, Sirius?" Kate asked.

"Er, Kate, d'you wanna dance with me? I mean, I know I'm a little sweaty from playing and everything, but I can dance pretty good."

Kate smiled.

"Sure, Si, lets go."

Sirius smiled and held his arm out, which Kate took.

"Aw, isn't that cute?" Ally whispered to Remus as they were getting ready to play the song. "Sirius fancies Kate!"

(A/N: By the way, Soco Amaretto Lime belongs to Brandnew. Not me! You should download it if you're not a CD person, but if you are a CD person like me, then by the album. It's called Your Favorite Weapon. It's one of the best CDs I own. Well, enough of my babbling about one of the greatest bands I've ever heard and on with the story!)

Remus smiled.

"That is cute," he said. "It's good he's finally moving on. I could tell it was eating away at him..."

"Yeah," Ally agreed. "Well, you ready?" Remus nodded and sat down on the edge of the stage with his guitar. Ally grabbed a microphone and sat down next to him.

"One, two, three, four..." Remus started to play.

(A/N: Okay, I don't have the lyrics to this song, so it might get messed up because I don't know all of the words, so don't yell at me.)

*Passed out

On the overpass

Sunday best-n-broken glass

Broken down

For bikes-n-bars

Suspended like spirits over speeding cars

You and me were kings

Over the parkway tonight

And tonight will go on forever while we

Walk around this town like we own the streets

And stay awake through summer like we own the heat

Singin' everybody wake up

It's time to get down

And as I pass the bottle

Back to Pete

On the overpass tonight

I'll bet we laugh

I'm gonna stay eighteen forever

So we can stay like this forever

And we'll never miss a party 'cause we

Keep them goin' constantly

And we'll never have to listen

To anyone 'bout anything

'Cause it's all been done

And it's all been said

We're the coolest kids and we take what we can get the hell out of this town

Find some conversation

The low fuel light's been on for days

It doesn't mean anything

I've got another five hundred 'nother five hundred miles before we shut this engine down

I'm gonna stay eighteen forever

So we can stay like this forever

And we'll never miss a party 'cause we

Keep them goin' constantly

And we'll never have to listen

To anyone 'bout anything

'Cause it's all been done

And it's all been said

We're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

Eighteen forever

So we can stay like this forever

And we'll never miss a party 'cause we keep them goin' constantly

And we'll never have to listen

To anyone 'bout anything

'Cause it's all been done

And it's all been said

We're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

You're just jealous 'cause we're young and in love

You're just jealous 'cause we're young and in love

You're just jealous 'cause we're young and in love

You're just jealous 'cause we're young and in love

You're just jealous 'cause we're young and in love

You're just jealous...*

Even though the song ended, our smart friends didn't seem to notice, they just kept dancing.

Ally smiled.

"Wanna go for a walk, Remus?" she asked quietly.

"Sure, lets go."
