Chapter Thirteen: The Potter Kids make a Plan, well Sirius Actually
Lily and James hadn't talked at all on Sunday. Lily was given private quarters where no one could find her, well at least she thought so. James slept on a couch in the Gryffindor Common Room. Monday had come and there was still no communications between the couple. Ginny and Harry sat on the couch with Nick and Elektra across from them. It had seemed Nick and Lek had gotten close cause his arm was around her shoulders. Ginny had her head on Harry's shoulder and the two Potter kids were staring at each other.
"I hate this." Elektra mumbled.
"I have never seen them do this before." Ginny said and Ginny was over the Potter Manor quite often. Harry kept quiet.
"Harry, why are you so quiet?" Elektra asked.
"I'm just thinking. Is that a crime now a days?" Harry snapped. Elektra looked shocked. Her brother never used a tone like that with her. Ginny sat straight up.
"Harry what is the matter with you?" she asked.
"Nothing. Like I said I am just thinking." Harry replied. Suddenly Elektra's face lit up.
"I thought you were upset about this. Why are you smiling?" Nick asked.
"Cause I just got an idea. Remember how Dumbledore said the entertainment at the ball is a surprise?" Elektra asked. Harry nodded.
"What does this have to do with Mum and Dad?" he asked. Elektra glared at her brother for not letting her explain.
"Shut up. Well I know who the entertainment is." She said. Ginny raised an eyebrow.
"Which is?"
"Hogwarts." Elektra replied, with a grin.
"Pardon?" Nick asked.
"Hogwarts. The students, faculty, and anyone that is in the school during the ball gets to sing." Elektra explained. Harry's jaw dropped.
"He can't be serious." Ginny said. Elektra nodded.
"Oh he is alright. Dad can sing a song to Mum and then everyone is all giddy again!" she exclaimed. Harry finally got his brain back in order and stared at his sister.
"Lek how do we know Dad can sing, and how do we know he'll even do it, and if he does do it and is good how do we know Mum will take him back?" He asked. Elektra didn't get to reply cause James walked in.
"What are we talking about?" he asked dully.
"You miss her don't you?" Nick asked.
"This happened all the time when we were here. They had some ball and the kids sang. That's how we got together. Then all the other times I would make something shoot out of my wand. I know she'll come crawling back to me in a few days. So I don't miss her." James replied. He felt awkward telling the story about how he and his wife started to like each other to an eleven year old, that wasn't even his kid.
"Dad what do you mean that's how you got together?" Harry asked.
"I sang some song to her about love. I walked off the stage and told her she meant more to me than anything in the world. 'Oh James I really do love you!' came out of her mouth. After that it was Happily Ever After." James said. Elektra kept silent through this whole thing.
"What song?" Ginny asked. James raised an eyebrow at his son's girlfriend.
"I don't remember. All I know is that I sang it somewhere else too." He said, and left the tower again.
"Liar." Elektra mumbled.
"Excuse me?" Harry asked.
"He knows what the song is. I mean for pity's sake it is their wedding song!" Elektra yelled.
"How would you know you weren't even born!" Harry exclaimed.
"Remember when we went into the Pen- oh wait you weren't there." Elektra said.
"Wait you went into Dad's Pensive?" Harry asked eyebrows raised.
"No. Our beloved Padfoot's." Elektra said quietly. Harry slapped his forehead. (which by the way doesn't not have the scar since Sirius had killed Voldemort. Look back in Chapter One or Prologue.)
"You went into Sirius' study!" he yelled.
"Heavens no! The dolt left it out on the table. Jen and Mum went shopping so Sirius decided to take a trip down memory lane. I was taking a nap. I had to be around three. He walked out of the room to use the bathroom and I kind of stepped in cause I had a bad dream. I saw the Pensive and looked in and saw Dad. I yelled Daddy and somehow I was in the thing. Next thing I knew I woke up in the living room!" Elektra explained.
"Where was I in all of this?" Harry asked.
"Ginny's. Dad, Mr. Weasley, and the boys watched you while Mum, Jen, Ginny and Mrs. Weasley went shopping. I wanted to go over Sirius' house." Elektra replied.
"Well what is the song?" Ginny asked.
"Can't tell. Or it won't be a surprise!" Lek said.
"Elektra tell me right now or I'm telling Mum you set off a dung bomb in the hallway." Harry said, narrowing his eyes at her.
"I forget. Please don't tell Mum! She'll never let me come back and then she'll blame Sirius and tell him he should've been keeping an eye on me!" Elektra whispered. Harry rolled his eyes.
"So what else do you have in mind Miss Potter?" a new voice said. Sirius stepped out from under an invisibility cloak.
"What do you mean?" Elektra asked innocently.
"Well you broke into my Pensive and planned to get your parents back together by forcing your father to sing in front of the whole entirety of the castle. I think that is a tad harsh young lady, but I like it. Oh and never call me a dolt again. Remember I could take points off from Gryffindor for insulting a teacher." Sirius said.
"Ok number one. I never broke into your Pensive. I was three and you left it out on a table, dolt. And I don't know what I am going to do about Mum and Dad." Elektra said.
"Ok number one. I thought I just said not to call me a dolt. And second of all go with a surprise attack idiot." Sirius said.
"Ok don't call me an idiot my brain is probably more developed than yours is since your fighting with a child. And what do you mean surprise attack?" Elektra asked.
"I won't call you an idiot if you don't call me a dolt and I'm not fighting. As for James and Lily and the singing well sign them up without them noticing." Sirius explained, pacing around the room.
"That's crazy, so crazy it just might work." Elektra said, in a low eerie voice.
"Whoa creepy little sister in room. Note to self: chain her to bed after lessons and dinner. Oh and on weekends." Harry said to himself out loud. (That was pointless but it is late and I get goofy at night.) Sirius stared at him for a few seconds.
"Ok. Lek, sign your father up and I'll sign Lil up." Sirius said stepping out of the room. They went down to lunch where Dumbledore made an announcement.
"We have decided to tell the students what the entertainment for the ball is. For those who forgot the ball is in two days. Classes will not be held due to getting ready. The entertainment for the ball is Hogwarts. Anyone at the ball is allowed to sing. On your way out please sign the sheet at the door putting down the song you will sing and your name or names. Thank- you." He said. Amazingly, all the students rushed to put their names on. Elektra was the first one and this is what she put:
NAME: JAMES POTTER
SONG: NOT AVAILABLE, WILL BE A SURPRISE AT THE BALL.
Sirius did his dirty work next. A lot of the girls got excited thinking that he'll be singing and ask one of them to sing with him. He put:
NAME: LILY POTTER
SONG: SURPRISE! I'M NOT LISTING THE SONG! PROFESSOR DUMBLEDORE, WILL KNOW THOUGH!
Elektra looked at Sirius and they nodded. They would go to Dumbledore and tell him their plan. They raced to Dumbledore and told him the plan. Dumbledore nodded and said he would make note of the songs that James and Lily would be singing. Two days past and it was time for the ball!
A/N: I know the songs I'm am putting for James and Lily but I need help with other people. Give me people to sing and some songs they should sing! I really like the things you guys come up with!
