Chapter Sixteen

















"Shh, here he comes!"

"Ready then?"

"You bet!"

"One, two, three!"

Sirius and Ally both did the spells that they needed to do. They tried as hard as they could not to laugh...and, surprisingly, they succeeded.

Severus Snape walked passed their hiding place not noticing a thing...he was dressed up like Cupid.

Once Snape was out of earshot, they let their laughter run rampant.

"Oh, that was great!" said Sirius.

"Yeah, but I wish I would have thought of this yesterday," Ally said.

"It's still hilarious!" Sirius exclaimed.

They started walking back to Gryffindor Tower to wake up their friends.

"D'you know where that came from?" Ally asked.

"Yes!" Sirius exclaimed loudly. "Infield."

"You got it, good for you," said Ally. "It only took you, what, seven years?"

"Hey!"

"I'm just kidding, Si, calm down."





When Snape entered the Great Hall, it sounded like a bomb had exploded. Everyone was laughing at him and he had no clue why...so Lily conjured up a mirror, walked over to the Slytherin table, and handed it to him.

"SHIT!"

This just made everybody laugh even harder. Lily returned to her seat laughing like a madwoman.

"I KNEW I could corrupt you!" Ally exclaimed.

"Yep," said Lily.





(A/N: There is nothing more for them to do in school, I think, so it's time that school ended...)





As exam week drew closer, Lily went back to her old ways and forced the Marauders to study like they had never studied before. As Ally had said, "I THOUGHT SHE WAS CORRUPTED!".

The N.E.W.T.s were harder than they had anticipated...yeah...





"FINALLY!" Sirius exclaimed, dropping onto the couch in front of the fire in the Gryffindor Common Room. "This has been the longest week of my life!"

"You said it, Padfoot," Ally said, sitting on Remus.

"Oh, come on, it wasn't *that* bad," said Lily.

"Yes it was," said James.

"Who wants to go to Hogsmeade?" Lily asked.

"HA! I KNEW IT!" Ally exclaimed, jumping up and pointing and Lily. "YOU *HAVE* BEEN CORRUPTED!"

"Yeah...who's in?"

"Me!" Ally exclaimed.

"Right here," said Remus.

"You know it, babe," said James.

"Lets go," said Kate.

"Yep," said Sirius.

"I'm gonna take a nap," said Jenny. "Have fun." She went upstairs.

"I'm gonna go read in the library."

Peter left.

"Cool, lets go."





"Tomorrow's graduation," Ally stated. She was sitting with Remus on his bed and James and Sirius were laying on the floor.

"Yep," said Remus.

"And the graduation dance," Ally went on.

"Uh huh..." said James.

"We should do something...special."

Sirius raised his head and smiled mischievously.

"Like..."

"Oh, I dunno...maybe cut the music out halfway through the dance and then we can set up and perform one last time?"

"I like," said James.

"Cool," said Sirius.

"Sounds like fun," Remus said.





(A/N: I wanna do that at my senior prom...just cut everything and perform with me band.)





"James, lets dance!" Lily said, pulling James out of his seat.

"Okay, okay, I am quite capable of getting out of my chair by myself, Lils," James said, standing up and walking with Lily onto the dance floor. A slow song was starting.

"Shall we?" Sirius asked, offering Kate his arm.

"Yep."

"Come on, Als, lets dance."

"Okay doke, Remy, lets go!"

As the song ended, James and Sirius snuck away from Lily and Kate and joined Remus and Ally in a corner of the room.

"All ready?" Ally asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be," said James, removing his dress robes and putting on a hat backwards.

The others did the same. They were all wearing shorts and t-shirts and sneakers under their robes. Their equipment was under an invisibility charm. Ally first raised the floor for kind of a makeshift stage, then Remus removed the invisibility charm from their stuff.

"End this crappy music, Si," Ally instructed and Sirius did so.

Professor McGonagall immediately looked for the Marauders when the music was cut off. When she saw them she looked positively infuriated.

Sirius started playing a slow beat on the drums and Remus joined him with a slow bass part. James started to sing:

*Professor McGonagall

You know you'll miss us

This is the end of the chronicles

Known as the original Marauders

It's a shame we have to go

And we just thought you should know

That this will be our last punk rock show*

Sirius clicked his sticks and shouted, "ONE TWO THREE FOUR!"

They started to play 'I'd Do Anything'.

(A/N: Simple Plan owns 'I'd Do Anything' and the next song I'm gonna use. I own that little thing that James just sang. Cool? Cool.)

The seventh and sixth year students from Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, the parents of students from said houses, and most of the professors were enjoying the Marauders. The Slytherins and their parents just left. Good. Who needs them anyway?





"Okay, guys, this is gonna be our last song because it's, like, two a.m., Professor McGonagall wants to kill us, and my hands and throat are not feeling too well," said Ally. "I wrote this song a *REALLY LONG* time ago, to my father. It's called 'Perfect'. Enjoy."

In the back of the crowd, Eddie Tuksan's ears perked up as he heard the word 'father'...

James started the song up...

*Hey, dad, look at me

Think back and talk to me

Did I grow up according to plan?

And do you think I'm wastin' my time

Doin' things I wanna do?

But it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it

I just wanna make you proud

I'm never gonna be good enough for you

Can't pretend that I'm alright

And you can't change me

'Cause we've lost it all

Nothin' lasts forever

I'm sorry

I can't be

Perfect

Now it's just too late

And we can't go back

I'm sorry

I can't be

Perfect

I try not to think

About the pain I feel inside

Did you know you used to be

My hero?

All the days you spent with me

Now seem so far away

And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it

I just wanna make you proud

I'm never gonna be good enough for you

I can't stand another fight

And nothing's alright

'Cause we've lost it all

Nothin' lasts forever

I'm sorry

I can't be

Perfect

Now it's just too late

And we can't go back

I'm sorry

I can't be

Perfect

Nothing's gonna change the

Things that you said

And nothing's gonna make this

Right again

Please don't turn your back

I

Can't believe it's hard just to talk to you

But you don't understand

'Cause we've lost it all

Nothin' lasts forever

I'm sorry

I can't be

Perfect

Now it's just too late

And we can't go back

I'm sorry

I can't be

Perfect

'Cause we've lost it all

Nothin' lasts forever

I'm sorry

I can't be

Perfect

Now it's just too late

And we can't go back

I'm sorry

I can't be

Perfect*

"Good-night."

The Marauders climbed off of the stage for the last time.

James, Ally, and Remus were packing away their instruments...

"Going to the bathroom, huh?"

They turned to see Kate and Lily standing there.

But Lily smiled, courtesy of corrupted-ness by Ally.

"Nice show," she said.

"I corrupted you. I corrupted you," Ally said in a singsong voice.

"Yes, Ally, we all know," said Lily.

"James, my boy, that was *amazing*!"

James smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Evans," he said.

"Lily, dear, it is quite late," said Mrs. Evans, "shall we go home?"

"Sure, mom," Lily said. She gave James a nice chaste kiss. "See you, James."

"Lils, lets do lunch," said James. "Not tomorrow, but the next day?"

"Sounds good."





Ally, Remus, and his parents exited the Great Hall. In the Entrance Hall, Ally saw Eddie standing there.

As the made his way over, she muttered to herself, "Why can't he just leave me alone?" Then she said to him, "Why are you here?"

"Hey, Als," Eddie said, ignoring her question. "Hello, Remus, Jake. Mrs. J. Lupin, I presume?"

"Yes," said Mrs. Lupin, "and you are?"

"Ally's dad, Eddie."

"No you aren't," Ally said. "We've been over this a million and a half times. You are my *father*, not my dad. Why the hell are you here?"

"You graduated today, why wouldn't I be here?" Eddie asked.

"Because, and you know it, if Jay and mom were alive, you wouldn't be here right now."

"That's not true, Al-" said Eddie.

"Bullshit!" Ally spat back at him. "That is complete bullshit and you know it. You never called, you never wrote, you never even acknowledged the fact that I'm *alive* until you *had* to. Let me guess, you heard me sing the song 'Perfect'." Eddie nodded. "Now you're hoping that I'll put it all in the past and try to have a better relationship with you." Eddie nodded again. "Well it ain't happening, Eddie, I wrote that song when I was thirteen. Then I realized that you would never come back to me on your own. Just do what you have done since I was eleven and leave me alone!"

Ally stormed out of the Entrance Hall and into the night...morning.

"I told you she's changed since we were younger, didn't I?" Remus said to Eddie before following Ally out.

His parents walked out quickly behind their son, feeling slightly uncomfortable.

Eddie Tuksan's shoulders slumped as he walked out of Hogwarts and, at the same time, his daughters life...

















A/N: How was that? I won't waste anymore of your time rambling, so please review!
