A/N: I guess you can tell from the title chapter what Movie I'm going to
do. I hope you enjoy the next chapters to come. Some how I knew I'd be
doing Aladdin...Snape DOES look like Jafar.
(A/N: Especially in the book illustrations when he's got the goatee, mustache thing going on...)
And just remember, YOU choose the movie so if it sucks, it's YOUR fault! :sniffles::
But anyway, I will be updating this story on Saturday(s) so look for any and all updates then unless told otherwise.
Oh, and this will be either a really LONG chapter or a two-parted one...

Chapter VI: You Ain't Never Had A Friend Like Me
They only had two precious weeks before the play had to be preformed and they were already in a hellish nightmare.
After an hour of deliberation, Snape had finally chosen to preform the Walt Disney 'Classic' as it said on the video case, Aladdin.
And that's where all the troubles began.
James had been willing to just assign the parts to the people he thought would best fit the role...Snape however thought it was best to let anyone willing to try out for the role and the best actor/actress, won the role.
So they decided to have the additions in the Great Hall, seeing as Dumbledore gladly placed a stage at the head of the room, then chairs to fill it as he had seen done in a muggle theater, which was a the only GOOD thing.
To James, the people trying out for the different roles didn't fit with the way the character was portrayed and to Snape, unless they WERE a Slytherin, no one was good enough for the role.
So naturally, it was decided to have that neither of the boys should pick other students pick the roles instead, especially, a muggle born...and they came in the form of James's friends...
"Thanks again for helping us out with this," James smiled as Hermione and Lupin took a seat by his side, much to Snape's displeasure.
"No problem," Hermione grinned happily as she dusted off her robes lightly to remove specks of lint, then looked up at him. "I've seen this movie millions of times and since I've already signed up to be a critic for the show, I might as well help out with the casting!"
"Yes," Lupin agreed with a pleasant smile. "And since I won't be able to play a role...for I won't have time for it with my studying and well, other things-"
It was silent for a moment, James and unknowing to them, Hermione understanding what he meant as Snape studied the trio with a curious glance.
"I would be more then happy to help you with the casting," he finished.
"Great, cause I decided to try out for the leading role," James said with a smile. Snape snorted and the trio looked at him.
"I figured as much, with that big head of yours, of course you'd have to have the leading role," Snape said matter of factly. "You more then likely couldn't function if you weren't always in the spot light."
"As if you're any better," James frowned. "Cause the last time I checked, you were trying out for Aladdin as well."
Snape only gave him a smug look before standing to his feet and giving his seat to a fellow Slytherin, Bellatrix Black, before going behind the curtain.
"Get gone Potter, let's get this over with," she drawled grudgingly as she snatched the casting paper away from Hermione and winked deviously at Lupin.
Nodding, James stood to his feet and followed a trail of students behind the curtain, bumping right into his best friend.
"I thought you weren't coming," he smiled at Sirius Black who rolled his eyes and smirked.
"I actually wasn't. I still think this is really lame, but hell, if you can't count on your friends to humiliate yourself with, then who can you?" he replied and looked back down at the script.
"Who are you trying out for?" a voice came behind them. The pair turned around to see Harry and Ron standing behind them, Ron looking rather annoyed and nervous at the same time.
"Well I was going for Aladdin," James replied with a wink.
"And I'm going for the Genie," Sirius stopped to mumbled as he continued to read over his tryout lines-which happened to be a song.
"I guess I'm going as a guard," Harry replied hunching his shoulders, then turned to Ron with a knowing smirk.
They all stared at him for a moment and Ron sighed deeply before shooting a heated glare at Hermione who waved happily at him.
"...be..."
"What?" Sirius replied, looking up for his script. "I didn't get that, repeat?"
"...abu..." he mumbled again a soft voice, his face becoming red.
"Hey Ron, could you speak up?" Harry teased. "I don't think we heard you and-"
"ABU!!!" Ron screamed furiously, gathering everyone's attention and stares. His ears turned a light shade of pink as he looked at his beat up shoes again, ignoring the snickers and giggles around him.
But James shook his head. "The monkey huh? But he doesn't even talk."
"That's exactly why I'm trying for that part," Ron grumbled. "That and because Hermione is forcing me into it. Says it would be cute and it's 'polite' to help your friends in need."
"Boy, she's certainly got you whipped, huh?" Sirius smirked as Harry and James tried their hardest not to laugh.
Ron began to mumble under his breath.
"Okay, places everyone!" they heard Lupin call from his seat in front of the rows. "We're ready to begin! First calls for Princess Jasmine!"
The boys moved back as the onslaught of girls rushed forward, all talking excitedly and giggling, some even wishing the others good luck.
Lily was one of those girls. She had only preformed in a play once in her lifetime when she was in kindergarten and for a small child, she had to admit, she played the part very well, even if all she did was play a tree...
Her eyes caught sight of Sirius who waved at her and mouthed the words 'Good Luck'. Lily gave him a nervous smile and nodded, taking in a deep breath. Then her heart skipped a beat. Oh gods. James was trying out for the play.
Lily had know he would have to play a role but she prayed against all hope that if he was trying for the leading role-and she didn't get Jasmine- that maybe they could end up playing trees together...
"This will be a breeze," a smooth, petit voice called behind her. She turned and smiled politely to Narcissa Malfoy, who only stared back in coldness, obviously not talking to Lily, but a friend of hers that wasn't trying.
"I mean, LOOK at the competition!" she sneered, then had the nerve to point a emerald green coated nail at her.
"I mean, really, couldn't they do ANY better?" she smirked and her friend didn't hid her laughter.
"Just ignore her," a voice whispered softly in her hear. She spun around to find James smiling back at her in kindness and fought the urge to blush crimson.
"I think you'll make a great Jasmine," he added with a wink before returning to his friends who were laughing about something Peter, who just arrived, had mumbled to Ron.
Lily took in a deep breath and fought the urge to smile like a silly school girl and giggle and shake her head madly while goose pimples trailed up her arms.
If James Potter thought she'd make a great Jasmine, then there was no way she was settling for a tree...
*~*~*~*~*
"You have got... to be kidding," Bellatrix mumbled when one of her own housemates, Alexiandria Tatum, attempted to sing the Jasmine's part in the song, 'A Whole New World.'
She was horrible. Lupin had his head resting in his arms to try to block out the sound has Hermione desperately tried to scream over the girls screeches to get off of the stage. The audience was filled with seventh years, the sixth years that refused to partipate, and most of the faculty, including Dumbledore, McGongall, Hagrid, and Hampton.
Finally, when she decided the they had enough of her torture, Alexiandria closed her mouth and gave a smirk and a wink to Bellatrix before she excused herself off the stage, in which the wavy raven haired Slytherin ignored, mumbling something that seemed to be praising God...
"Um...Narcissa Black?" Lupin stated while clearing his throat slightly.
There was a thunderous applause for the Slytherin's in the audience, as well as most of the Slytherin boys, Lucius the loudest, from back stage as the proud sixth year walked gracefully onto the stage, the back straight, her blond curls absolutely dazzling as well as her facial appearance in the light eliminating the stage. And a first since this had began, she wasn't caring a script.
Hermione and Lupin exchanged looks as Bellatrix finally decided she would take a seat, but continued to clap.
They both knew Lily was trying out for the role-but they also knew they would have to be fair, none the less. And Narcissa was turning out to be a very lovely Jasmine indeed-even if she did look rather-evil.
Finally, when the applause went down, she gave an awarding winning smile, at her 'judges', first at her sister Bellatrix who gave her a knowing smile in return, then a wink at Lupin who only shook his head, she even managed a polite smile to Hermione, who only studied her as if a strict teacher.
"You may begin when ready," Lupin announced and all whispered ceased, the Great Hall was silent.
Narcissa nodded, then cleared her throat lightly before she began to sing a line:
"A whole new woooooooooorld. A dazzling place I've never knew-"
They listened as she sang the complete verse, then finishing, curtsied over dramatically. The Great Hall filled with thunderous applause again as Hermione looked over at a seemingly worried Lupin.
"Five gallons says she used a potion for that," she whispered to him, making her fellow house member chuckle softly.
"Wonder, the best yet!" Bellatrix called after the blond as she walked off the stage before taking a seat and giving a smirking glance at the two Ravenclaws. "I do believe my sister has claimed her role, don't you?"
"No, not really," Hermione replied in her usually matter of fact tone as she looked at the last name on the sheet of paper. "We still have one more tryout for the role: Lily Evans?"
"Okay, there it is! Go for it girl!" Molly smiled at the other nervous read head before giving her shoulders a tight squeeze then sort of pushing her towards the stage.
Lily took in a deep breath and tried to hide her nervousness.
She didn't want to take her paper out with her after seeing Narcissa performing perfectly without it. Besides, she still had the one up on her: She ALWAYS sang a 'Whole New World' when she saw Aladdin because it was her favorite song on the entire soundtrack to the movie.
That wasn't the issue. There was a reason she was a tree in her previous school play: she became quite nervous when it came to preforming in front of people.
Sure, landing this role would defiantly catch James's eye-but she could almost picture herself just standing there, under all those stupid lights that blinded her, forgetting every word to the song, and looking like an utter fool as Narcissa rightly mocked her, knowing she won the role.
Lily took in a another deep breath and deciding this was nothing more then saying a speech for her classmates when she became (and she knew she was destined to be) Head Girl, walked out onto the stage.
She smiled as her house gave her thunderous applause, most of the boys whistling (she recognized Sirius's immediately), and her girlfriends screaming her name and best wishes.
She fought the urge to blush as she looked down at the judges. Bellatrix, as to be expected with her sister trying for the same role, stared coldly at her, as she normally did on a daily bases, while Lupin clapped for her lightly and smiled, her newest friend Hermione really working herself up and clapping loudly, yelling with the rest of them.
The noise died down and Lily looked out into the audience again...and froze up. Dumbledore, along with her house leader and a few other professor she respected and loved sat directly in the front row, smiling at her and nodding their approval.
'Oh god, I can't do this,' Lily thought quickly as she gave another nervous glance at Lupin and Hermione, then turned to see Sirius, James, and a few more of their friend peaking behind the curtain to see how well she did.
'And he's going to watch too?? Oh-my-god I can't do this, I CAN'T!'
"Alright Lily, begin," Lupin called to her gently, his smile never fading.
Lily turned around to see everyone waiting for her to open her mouth and sing the words.
'Oh no!' Lily winced in her mind. 'I've forgotten ever word to the song, including the damn title!...Lord just swallow me up now...um...a no cool hurl? No that defiantly isn't the words...'
"Hey, we SAID you can START," Bellatrix called with a cruel smile of satisfaction. "We don't have all day for you to remember the lines. If you don't know the song, you shouldn't have got on the stage!"
Most of the Slytherins snickered coldly and Lily could feel her face becoming hot. But it was no use. She couldn't remember the words-she barely even remembered where the song came from. It was too much pressure...and now she had let her house, James, everyone down.
She gave one sad look at Hermione who glanced back in concern and shook her head. This addition was over...
"I can show you the world..."
"Wha-" Lily uttered in a surprised gasp as she saw something move out on stage.
"Shining, Shimmering, Splendid...Tell me princess, now when did you last let your heart, decide..."
Lily turned around and almost died of shock. James smiled back at her kindly then frowned as he tried to think of the next lines...
"Uh...something something something-, something something, some- thing! Yeah...over sideways, and under on a on a magic carpet ride!
A Whole New World-" he sang out strongly, ignoring the giggles at his sung forgotten words.
"A new fantastic point of view-no one to tell us no. Or where to go, or say we're only dreaming...
"A whole new world-" Lily sang, picking up the lines on her part.
"A dazzling place I never knew. But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear, that now I'm in a whole new world, with you-"
"Now I'm in, a whole new world-with you-"
"Unbelievable sights! Indiscernible feelings! Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling through an endless diamond sky."
"Okay, no need to sing the WHOLE new song!" Bellatrix called out annoyed. But James ignored her and grabbing Lily's hands, he continued the song.
"...don't you dare close your eyes."
"100,000 things to see..."
"...hold your breath if that's better..."
"I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far...I can't go back to where I use to be! (A Whole New World.) Every turn a Surprise.
(with new horizon's to pursue...)...every moment, red letter..."
"I"ll chase them anywhere, there's time to spare," they sang together. "Let me share this whole new world, with you..."
They faces became closer as they continued to sing, in softer voices.
"A Whole New World..."
"A Whole New World..."
"...that's where we'll be..."
"...that's where we'll be..."
"A thrilling chase," James sang lightly, nearly brushes his lips against Lily's.
"A wondrous place..." Lily sang softly, feeling her heart pounding in her chest. 'Kiss you me you damn fool! KISS ME!'
Everyone continued to watch in awe, Sirius with his mouth wide open a in delight, while Hermione mumbled a joke to Lupin about this not happening in the movie.
Harry smiled at his parents. They were a the perfect match for this play-the perfect match for each other.
"...for you and...me..." They held their note in beautiful harmony until finally, they both felt out of breath. The audience rose to their feet to give a standing ovation, Hermione and Lupin included with the Slytherins only seemed to sneer at the soon to be Lily and James Potter.
James smiled kindly at her, his chocolate eyes staring deep into her beautiful shining emerald ones. Her heart skipped a beat as he leaned in and she could see some of her fellow students holding their breaths....waiting for the kiss...
But instead, he leaned over to her ear.
"See?" he whispered lightly. "I knew you'd make the perfect Jasmine..."
Lily had to fight the groan of disappointment in her throat. And here she and probably the rest of the world thought she was getting a kiss! Well...maybe that was too much to ask for...
"Thanks," she whispered back, looking away as she blushed crimson.
"Damn it, just kiss her already!" Sirius screamed on the stage, smirking wickedly as he saw James blush as well.
"That will be all," Lupin replied firmly, smiling at the pair but confirming it was time to leave the stage. James smiled gratefully at his friend then escorted Lily off the stage.
Hermione looked over at Bellatrix and smiled. "Looks like Lily will be the perfect Jasmine, don't you agree?"
The only reply she received was a deep sneer of hatred.
A/N: And as I always do, I answer certain questions left on reviews if I didn't get a email address. To Maira: Yes, Harry is important in this story but he's actually not the only main focus. ::looks at title of story:: He does and will play a major, and I do mean major roll later on, but right now I'm focusing on the Marauders and things because this is suppose to be a comedy.
That and I wanted to make this story different from all the other 'Harry goes back in the past-he sees his parents and doesn't move from their sight becoming a serious pain in the @$$.
Going to the past was the main reason of the story, but actually he's there to-OH! I CAN'T give away the storyline!!! ::winks::
Thanks for your review and thanks to everyone else for theirs as well!

"That will be all," Lupin replied firmly, smiling at the pair but confirming it was time to leave the stage. James smiled gratefully at his friend then escorted Lily off the stage.
Hermione looked over at Bellatrix and smiled. "Looks like Lily will be the perfect Jasmine, don't you agree?"
The only reply she received was a deep sneer of hatred.
A/N: And as I always do, I answer certain questions left on reviews if I didn't get a email address. To Maira: Yes, Harry is important in this story but he's actually not the only main focus. ::looks at title of story:: He does and will play a major, and I do mean major roll later on, but right now I'm focusing on the Marauders and things because this is suppose to be a comedy.
That and I wanted to make this story different from all the other 'Harry goes back in the past-he sees his parents and doesn't move from their sight becoming a serious pain in the @$$.
Going to the past was the main reason of the story, but actually he's there to-OH! I CAN'T give away the storyline!!! ::winks::
Thanks for your review and thanks to everyone else for theirs as well!
