A/N: Totally why Remus sung the one song. I'm trying to get the other members involved more. Don't worry though, the next few songs Sev's not going to sing, he's going to loose his voice if he does (Lol) so look for the great hits by Lucius and Sirius, and Draco is going to say something about the change in his father, just not right now… He's actually to busy goggling over our boy wonder to care. Anyway; enough with the blabbering on with the chapter then? P.S: Since this chapter came out AFTER Order of The Phoenix I would just like to say that none of this is going to change. It still takes place in fifth year. Tis' all ready written in computer stone all the previous chapters so I am not changing a thing! P.P.S: Sorry this took so long to post, I mean with the book coming out and finals? I didn't find the time, but now I should have these chapters out quicker over the summer months.
"That was so wired." Lucius said taking a bottle of water from his son.
"What do you think it meant?" Remus asked stretching out. Sirius bit his lip thinking. Harry and Draco looked at the four men. They seemed pretty shaken, especially Severus.
"This may sound crazy," Severus, started hoarsely, "but what if, what if it was James?" Sirius looked at him like he was on crack. The potions master shook his head, "I know stupid, look, Lucius, Sirius I need you two to sing the next few songs. I'm loosing my voice here. We can get Percy to sing again he's got a good song, he just needs back up so that'll be you Siri." He coughed and the boy wonder quickly gave his once hated professor a bottle of water. He took it gratefully and swallowed it all down then coughed again.
"Right, we'll do it." Sirius said and put his arm around his 'rival'. Lucius smiled and did the same to his friend.
"You rest your voice my dear friend." Remus looked at the three.
"I'll see if Percy is up to it." Remus said and walked into the bedroom. The two boys sat on the couch and yawned it had been a long day and it still wasn't over.
"So dad..." Draco started then looked up to the man he hardly knew. "How did this all start?" Lucius thought for a moment. It had been a long time since Lucius thought about how it had happened. He looked at his son and went into how it all happened.
~*~Flashback~*~
It was forth year for James, Sirius, Remus, Severus, Lucius (lots of 'us') and they were sitting in the Great Hall for what seemed to be a very important meeting. Professors McGonagall, Flitwick, Sprout, and Zelda, were all standing on either side of Head Master Dumbledore in front of the staff table. The only students in the Great Hall were the forth and fifth-years, all of which were very curious of what was going on. Finally Dumbledore stepped forward and silenced the crowd. Everyone looked up at him waiting for his announcement.
"It is splendid to see you all here and eager to know what this meeting is about." There was a lot of agreeing murmurs as every one looked at each other. "The staff and I have decided that the forth and fifth years will be doing a project. It will consist of five people from different houses, some of you will be in the same house, but you will be pared with another house." Everyone looked at each other silently asking if any of them got the meaning of that. "The idea of this is to get to know each other a bit better. The project can be anything, it can be a report or something, but hardly any magic is to be used. Any students who attack each other will be in detention with Mr. Filch for a month." Dumbledore's eyes twinkled and he smiled at everyone. "Now, we will be calling your names, you are to come up here and receive a package of how you are being marked and your instructions." He looked at the Transfiguration teacher as she stepped forward a scroll in her hand.
"Kitty Moonbeam," A Hufflepuff girl stood up and hurried to the front. She had long black hair and her nails almost looked like cat claws, and she looked a bit snobbish. "Lily Evans," a very pretty Gryffindor red head stood up. James smiled at her as she walked passed, but she just ignored him. "Katherine Snape," another Gryffindor girl stood up. Her hair was long, dark brown and in two braids. Sirius blushed as she walked passed and soon became interested in his shoes. "Eric Mannicar," a Slytherin boy stood up this time and joined the three girls. He looked like he just swallowed a bug. "And Peter Pettigrew." A small Gryffindor boy stood. His friends looked jealously at him as he walked to the front of the hall. They were given an envelope and instructed to move to the side to let the next group come up. Finally everyone had been called except for ten remaining students: three Gryffindor boys, two Ravenclaw girls, three Hufflepuff girls, and two Slytherin boys. McGonagall looked at her list. "James Potter," James stood and hurried to the front hoping he would be put with his friends. "Sirius Black," his best friend hurried up smiling brightly. "Remus Lupin," Remus stood up and joined his friends; they all looked around wondering who the other two people would be hoping that they wouldn't be put with Severus. "Lucius Malfoy," Lucius sighed and walked over to the three Gryffindors half knowing that he wasn't going to be put with his friend. The four students waited anxiously wondering who was going to be next. Then as if in a slow motion film she read the next name. "Sev-er-us Snape." James, Remus, and Sirius moaned as the remaining Slytherin boy stood and walked up the hall. He was quite thin and his hair was long and black and looked very oily. He looked somewhat nervous. He stepped up and was handed the envelope then the group of five walked to join the other students. Severus moved more away from everyone else looking at his feet, ignoring the glares he was receiving from everyone around him except for Lucius, and Remus. The last group was called up and they were all instructed to find an empty classroom and make it into their own.
"Got any ideas?" Lucius asked as they started to wonder the hallways. James, Sirius, and Remus looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I've got one." Severus said from behind them, but no one noticed. The young boy sighed and started to wonder off down to the dungeons knowing the perfect place. Lucius stopped just in time to see his friend wondering off alone.
"Severus?" Lucius started to follow his friend, and the marauders followed him. Severus could hear Sirius talking about him, but tried to ignore it. He led the other four into a huge empty classroom that joined with two other rooms. The room directly a head reviled a bathroom and the door off to the right was closed.
"In there is a bed room." Severus muttered pointing to the closed door. The main room didn't really look like a classroom; in fact it was more of a living room then anything. A fireplace resided on one of the walls and was surrounded by a couch and a couple of armchairs, then in one of the corners resided a beautiful black piano. Severus quickly covered it and motioned them to sit before giving Lucius the envelope, then sat on the piano bench while James, and Sirius sat on the couch, Remus sat on one of the chairs and Lucius on the other as he opened the envelope. He looked over the sheets before speaking.
"Well, basically, we are suppose to find something we all have in common and present it to the school in some way." James leaned forward thinking. The other boys by the fire did the same. Severus had turned to the piano, uncovered it and started to play a soft tune and hummed. Everyone looked over to him and watched, as he pretended no one else was there. Then a thought came to Lucius' head, "I know! We could sing!" Sev stopped playing and glared.
"No. I am NOT making an ass of myself," he snapped. "Besides… You're the only one with talent." Everyone blinked at him as he started to play again.
"Are you deaf?" Sirius asked raising an eyebrow. "You got tones of talent! I think we should do it." Remus and James nodded.
"Come on Sev, this is your chance to prove yourself." Lucius stood up and walked over to him. Severus sighed seeing no way out of it.
"Fine, but we need instruments." Everyone smiled and they began to plan.
~*~End of Flashback~*~
"After we got the top mark, we found it foolish to quite so we kept going with it." Harry and Draco nodded.
"So it all started as a school project?" Draco asked. The four men nodded simultaneously, Remus had come back into the room about halfway through the story.
"Well, we better get going back out there, did Percy say he was going to sing?" Severus asked. Remus nodded as Draco, Harry, Lucius, and Sirius walked back to the Great Hall. When everyone was gone Remus quickly kissed Severus, and whispered "I'm glad you agreed to all of this in our fourth year." Severus smiled and they walked out together.
A/N: Well, that's the end of that chapter. I apologize again for the delay!
