"Kumbaya my Lord..Kumbaya!" Sirius sang swaying back and forth on the couch.
"Sirius shut UP!" Jen cried, frustrated.
"But I want to SING!" Sirius cried in dispair.
"Fine!" Ara shot up from her sitting place on the chouch. "We'll have a Kareeokee!"
"REALLY?" Sirius looked at her with wide puppy-dog eyes.
"Yes, really. Now who wants to come ask with me?" She put her hands on her hips.
"I will!" Lily hopped up and joined her best friend as they started to walk out the Gryfindor Common Room.
"Do you think Dumbledor will let us?" Lily asked eagerly.
"Remember when we asked if we could have a paintball fight in first year?" Ara grinned.
"Of coarse!"
"Remember how he said as long as we did it outside, it was fine?" Ara laughed.
"Ha! You're right!" Lily said happily.
"Er...do you know the password?" Ara asked Lily.
"No. Um..Recess Pieces. Kit Kat! Hershey Bars! Hershey's Kisses!"
The stone gargoyels sprang into life and hopped to the side, making Ara and Lily jump slightly. The two took a step forward and the Gargoyles sprung back into their original position behind them.
Wondering if they should be here, they rose on the spiral staircase. They knocked on the fancy wood door.
"Come in!" Dumbledore's voice echoed from inside.
Lily pushed the door open and they stepped in. Dumbeldore smiled. "Ah, yes, Arabella and Lily, long time no see." He chuckled and missed Ara's flinch at her name.
"Hello Headmaster. Ara and I had an idea, and we wanted to suggest it. We were wondering if we could do a Kareokee sometime." Lily explained.
"During dinner or just in the Gryfindor Common Room." Ara shrugged.
Dumbledore stroked his long beard. "Yes, yes, that is a good idea! When was the last time we did something like this? I'll announce it and it will begin at dinner." He smiled.
"Thank you sir." They both said in unison as they whent out the door. As soon as they closed it, Ara let out a long sigh, and they did their little handshake.
"Score!" Lily cheered.
"We rock! We rock! We rock!" Ara danced all the way down the steps.
"So what song are you going to sing?"
"Dunno. How bout you?"
"Something from Avril I guess." Lily shrugged.
They were back in the common room in no time.
"What did they say?" Jen aksed, pouncing on her friends.
"Dumbledore said yes!" Lily said happily, while Ara was doing her 'Go Me' dance again.
"I see that." Remus laughed.
"SO! What ya people gonna sing?" Ara plopped down onto the sofa.
"WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE, A YELLOW SUBMARINE, A YELLOW SUBMARINE.. ."

********At the Kareeokee**********
The whole school was setteld in the Great Hall. The only difference was that there was a stage with lights and a magical Kareeokee. Everone was talking excitedly, deciding what they were going to sing, or wondering who was going to sing what.
Dumbledore rose and the chatter quickly died.
"Ladies and Gentleman, today we are going to have a special activity! As some of you," try everybody, "have heard, its a Kareeokee. Now, whoever would like to sing simply needs to walk up to the line. There is no limit to the times you sing, it just cannot be all at once. Now dig in and sing!" Dumbledore sat down as the students cheered, and quite a few got up in line.
"I'm nervouse." Sirius rubbed his stomache.
"You're not singing though...are you?" Lily's eyes widened.
"Of COARSE I am!"
"YOU'RE GOING TO SING KUMBAYA?" Ara's mouth hung open.
"No!"
"Then what?" Jen put her hands on her hips.
"Oh would you look at the time?" Sirius said, perpously annoying the girls. "I have to go on!" He skipped off onto the stage. Of coarse, there were only girls in line at this moment, and they all giggled and let Sirius go to the front of the line as he said his thank yous and winked at a few selected girls, who inturn fainted and were rushed to the Hostpital Wing.
Sirius proudly walked on stage in his tux and took the microphone.
"Hello ladies." He winked as he brushed his hair back. The crowd- I mean girls- went wild.
"Today I'm going to sing a song that is dedicated to.." Sirius took out a paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and read, "None of you!" He smiled and put the paper away.
"This song is called 'Perfect', by Simple Plan." A life-less voice echoed out of nowhere, and Sirius looked around franticly, until he remembered he was on stage.
"Oh yeah!" He grinned stupidly and the music began. He suddenly became more seriouse. "Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapprove all along
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing 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 spend 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 want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing 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
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
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing 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
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing 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." Almost everybody was clapping wildly, just because he had a good voice and was Sirius. But his friends also clapped for him because they knew it wasn't a song he picked out of the blue. Only a few of his friends knew that Sirius had lots of family trouble at home, and his "family" was all Slytherins except for him. His brother, Regulus, whent to the school as well, but as a first year.
When Sirius finally came back, his friends all congratudlated him for doing well and told him he was very brave to sing something like that. Sirius just smiled and shrugged. "Are any of us going to sing?" Lily asked after about three girls whent up there and sang horribly to horrible songs. "I'll go if one of you go." Jen said, finsihing her food. "Well, I'll come with ya. I'm going to sing as well." James joined her and whent to the back of the three-person line. After waiting a few minutes, it was there turn. "I'm going first!" Jen teased and ran on stage. She was still wearing the sweatshirt. "This song is called-" "I'm going to sing 'All You Wanted' By Michelle Branch." Jen interupted the voice. "I wanted to be like you
I wanted everything
So I tried to be like you
And I got swept away
I didn't know that it was so cold
And you needed someone
to show you the way
So I took your hand and we figured out
That when the tide comes
I'd take you away
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares
I'm sinking slowly
So hurry hold me
Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares
All you wanted was somebody who cares
If you need me you know I'll be there
Oh, yeah
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone." Jen smiled as the crowd clapped. She had a very good voice, not perfect, but very amazing. James patted her on the back as he did to all his friends (A/N: For this who are getting any ideas..). Jen was greated and slapped on the back by her kind friends. (awwwwwwwwww.) James then walked on the stage. The girls when wild as they saw his face. "Right. Well I'll be singing-" "This song is 'I'd Do Anything' by Simple Plan!" The voice interupted, taking his revenge on Jen out on James. "GOOOOOOOO JAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!" Some girl in the audience screamed. "Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting
And I wrote this letter in my head
Cuz so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you
Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
And never come back
So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting
This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you
I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Nanana (....)
And I'd do anything for you
Nanana (....)
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
Cuz I know
I won't forget you."
The crowd whent wild, and Lily was the only one out of her friends that did not know the song was for her. "That song was so totally for me!" Lots of girls where claiming. "Go James!" Remus said with a knowing glance on his face. "Whoo!" Remus slapped his butt. "Nice one!" Ara gave him a high five, while Sirius just grinned. "Hey Lily.."Jen stuck her tounge out at James, "did you get the song?" James gasped. "Uh..what?" Lily arched her eyebrows. "She means its our turn Lily." Ara rolled her eyes and grabbed her friends arm and dragged her on stage. "You go first." They both said at once. "But I dont know what song I'm going to sing!" Lily complained. "Fine fine, I'll go!" Ara ran up on stage and took the microphone. "Hello everyone." She said in a very Elvis-ish voice. "I am going to sing 'You Set Me Free' by Michelle Branch!" She said quickly. "Haha! I beat you, you selfless voice!" Ara laughed. "Did not!" Said the voice. "Did TOO!" "Did not!" "Did TOO!" "Uhem!" McGonagald coughed loudly. (A/N: BTW ppl, i know, too much michelle branch, but its really hard to find a good song that matches whats happening, sort of, and Michelle Branch just happens to have a lot of them!) "Oh, right, sorry Mikey G!" Ara took the microphone in her hand again as the music started.
"Can't you see?
There's a feeling that's come over me
Close my eyes
You're the only one that leaves me completely breathless
No need to wonder why
Sometimes a gift like this you can't deny
'Cause I wanted to fly,
so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free
There's a will
There's a way
Sometimes words just can't explain
This is real
I'm afraid
I guess this time there's just no hiding, fighting
You make me restless
You're in my heart
The only light that shines
there in the dark
'Cause I wanted to fly,
so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free
When I was alone
You came around
When I was down
You pulled me through
And there's nothing that
I wouldn't do for you
'Cause I wanted to fly,
so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free."
Immediatly, there was lots of clapping. Ara had a perfect voice. It was a little-known fact that Ara was a great singer but hardly ever sung. She smiled and hopped off the stage. Lily then climbed up the stage, too, and grabbed the microphone.
"Yo, I'm gonna sing the song 'Too Bad About Your Girl' by The Donnas." (Dont ask)
"Meanie." The voice answered.
"Waitin' all night not a call in sight I got the bait but I got no bite Wanna have some fun, wanna have someone Who can make me feel alright I'm lookin' at you, you're lookin' at me to Yeah you know what I wanna do But your girlfriend wants the night to end Baby tell me somethin' new
It's too bad about your girl She doesn't look like she's much fun It's too bad you got a date tonight Cause you're lookin' like you're the one
She left but now she's back Stickin' out her rack She got you runnin' down the wrong track Can't wait to see her face when I'm in her place And I'm tryin' to get you in the sack
It's too bad about your girl She doesn't look like she's much fun It's too bad you got a date tonight Cause you're lookin' like you're the one
Tell her to leave soon it'll be too late It's like New Year's Eve cause I just can't wait Too bad, (you've got a date tonight) too bad about your girl Yeah it's too bad, (you've got a date tonight) too bad about your girl
If you were smart you'd sent her home on B.A.R.T. Before the real trouble starts Cause who's she gonna slap when she sees me in your lap And you say you had a change of heart I gotta make you mine But we're runnin' outta time She's got you guarded like the Guggenheim It's all that I can take Let's make a jailbreak Or we'll be doin' time in Anaheim."
"Should I?" James whispered to Remus while Lily was singing on stage.
"No!" Remus whispered warningly.
"Ok!" James muttered a spell and suddenly all the guys were ooing and aaaing.
"I said NO!" Remus sighed in dispair.
"Woops."
Lily hear the oooing and aaaaaing but ignored it. "It's too bad about your girl She doesn't look like she's much fun It's too bad you got a date tonight Cause you're lookin' like you're the one
It's too bad about your girl She doesn't look like she's much fun It's too bad you got a date tonight Cause you're lookin' like you're the one."
As she bowed, she looked down, and quickly jumped back up. Her eyes were wide and in shock and anger.
"JAMES POTTER I AM SO GOING TO KILL YOU!" Lily threw the microphone onto the floor and jumped off the stage and hurried to James.
"Why the hell did you do that?" Lily asked furiously.
"I was bored?" James grinned sheepishly.
"BORED? WHAT A LAME EXCUSE!" Lily stomped her foot.
"Are you angry?" James looked down. The whole room was watching.
"Nah! Ya THINK?" Lily asked sarcasticly.
"I'll buy you a chocolate ice-cream in Hogsmade!" James pouted.
"make it five." Lily said quickly.
"Deal." They shook hands and sat down as if nothing has happened.
"But you have to wear that shirt for the rest of the day." James smirked.
"Twelve ice creams."
"Fine!"
"Changing the subject.." Remus started
"Remus, its your turn!" Ara reminded her friend.
"Do I have to go Ara?"
"Yes, you do." Ara ordered and shooed him onto the stage, and the girls of coarse let him cut because he was after all a Marauder.
"And before that voice can interupt me, I'm singing 'Unwell' by-"
"MATCHBOX TWENTY!" The voice yelled.
"Hey!" Remus stuck his tounge out at the nothing.
"All day Staring at the ceiling Makin' friends with shadows on my wall All night Hearing voices telling me that I should get some sleep Because tomorrow might be good for something Hold on Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown and I don't know why
Well I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be
Me, talking to myself in public And dodging glances on the train And I know I know they've all been talkin' bout me I can hear them whisper And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me Out of all the hours thinkin Somehow I've lost my mind
Well I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be
I've been talkin in my sleep Pretty soon they'll come to get me Yeah, they're takin' me away
Well I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be Yeah, How I used to be How I used to be, yeah Well I'm just a little unwell How I used to be (A little unwell) How I used to be I'm just a little unwell."
Remus bowed and winked, and the girls started to yell. He wasn't a player..he was a Marauder.
"Go Remi!" His friends cheered for him once he was off stage.
"Aww..shucks." He said teasingly.
"My Maruader friends, would we like to sing a..quartet?" James asked, counting on his fingers.
"Can we sing THE SONG?" Remus grinned.
"You mean that song that NOBODY can hear us sing?" Sirius gasped.
"No stupid, the OTHER song!" Peter scolded.
"You mean THE SECRET SONG?" Sirius gasped even more.
"Yes, the SECRET SONG!" They were perpously annoying the Devils. (A/N: That sounds cool)
"What song?" Lily begged.
"I'm so sorry Lils, we cant tell!" Remus shrugged, not sounding sorry at all.
"Oh come on! We trust you, you trust us! TELL US!" Jen asked fiercly.
"Nanny nanny boo boo! Stick your head in doo doo!" Sirius cackled and ran onto the stage, again excused by the fanclub. The rest of the Marauders followed him as well.
"We are going-" Sirius began.
"to sing 'Boys-"James continued.
"and Girls' by-" Remus.
"GOOD CHARLOTTE!" Peter announced joyfully, and the Devils began to clap furisouly, also laughing, knowing what was comming next.
The Marauders turned around so that their backs were facing the audience.
"Educated
With money"
The Marauders slapped their butts.
"He's well dressed
Not funny
And not much to say in
Most conversations
But he'll put the bill in
Most situations
Cause he pays for everything!"
They started to whirl an invisble rope above their heads
"Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
Paper
Or plastic
Don't matter
She'll have it
Vacations
And shopping sprees
These are a few
Of her favorite things
She'll get what she wants
If she's willing to please
His type of girl
Always comes with a fee
Hey, now, there's nothing for free
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
And these girls like these boys like these boys like these girls." Sirius began to shake his booty at the crowd, I mean really, shake his booty. (A/N: Sirius is a perverted freak if you havent noticed)
"The girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Let's go!
Hey, hey!
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
And these girls like these boys like these boys like these girls
The girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world "
The girls whent so wild they almost fainted. The Devils were laughing ther asses off. The Marauders where swarmed with girls as they got off stage. After somehow they made their way through the stampede, the Devils where still laughing.
"It was not THAT funny!" Sirius crossed his arms.
"Yes it was!" The Devils said in unison.
"That was so awsome!" Lily patted them on the back.
"Aww, thank you!" James pulled Lily into a spontanouse bear hug.
"James, I can't breath. And I will be murdered by your fan club if you dont let go NOW!" Lily cried franticly.
"Since when have you ever been afraid of that?" Sirius asked accusingly.
"You're right! I feel like pissing them off!" Lily announced happily and returned James hug.
"Awww!" Everyone surrounding them awwed in unisonm including the teachers.
James and Lily quickly let go.
"That was freaky." Lily said quickly and quietly.
"Yes it was." James replied in the same manner.
"How did that happen?" Lily asked Remus, the keeper of all knowledge.
"Lily, Lily, we're fictional charecters!" Remus grinned like a drunken Marauder.
"We're just a figment of the IMAGINATION!" Remus turned his stare to the author, who screamed and ran away.

"Kumbaya my Lord..Kumbaya!" Sirius sang swaying back and forth on the couch.
"Sirius shut UP!" Jen cried, frustrated.
"But I want to SING!" Sirius cried in dispair.
"Fine!" Ara shot up from her sitting place on the chouch. "We'll have a Kareeokee!"
"REALLY?" Sirius looked at her with wide puppy-dog eyes.
"Yes, really. Now who wants to come ask with me?" She put her hands on her hips.
"I will!" Lily hopped up and joined her best friend as they started to walk out the Gryfindor Common Room.
"Do you think Dumbledor will let us?" Lily asked eagerly.
"Remember when we asked if we could have a paintball fight in first year?" Ara grinned.
"Of coarse!"
"Remember how he said as long as we did it outside, it was fine?" Ara laughed.
"Ha! You're right!" Lily said happily.
"Er...do you know the password?" Ara asked Lily.
"No. Um..Recess Pieces. Kit Kat! Hershey Bars! Hershey's Kisses!"
The stone gargoyels sprang into life and hopped to the side, making Ara and Lily jump slightly. The two took a step forward and the Gargoyles sprung back into their original position behind them.
Wondering if they should be here, they rose on the spiral staircase. They knocked on the fancy wood door.
"Come in!" Dumbledore's voice echoed from inside.
Lily pushed the door open and they stepped in. Dumbeldore smiled. "Ah, yes, Arabella and Lily, long time no see." He chuckled and missed Ara's flinch at her name.

"Score!" Lily cheered.
"We rock! We rock! We rock!" Ara danced all the way down the steps.
"So what song are you going to sing?"
"Dunno. How bout you?"
"Something from Avril I guess." Lily shrugged.
They were back in the common room in no time.
"What did they say?" Jen aksed, pouncing on her friends.
"Dumbledore said yes!" Lily said happily, while Ara was doing her 'Go Me' dance again.
"I see that." Remus laughed.
"SO! What ya people gonna sing?" Ara plopped down onto the sofa.
"WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE, A YELLOW SUBMARINE, A YELLOW SUBMARINE.. ."

I can't be perfect
Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
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
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing 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
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing 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." Almost everybody was clapping wildly, just because he had a good voice and was Sirius. But his friends also clapped for him because they knew it wasn't a song he picked out of the blue. Only a few of his friends knew that Sirius had lots of family trouble at home, and his "family" was all Slytherins except for him. His brother, Regulus, whent to the school as well, but as a first year.
When Sirius finally came back, his friends all congratudlated him for doing well and told him he was very brave to sing something like that. Sirius just smiled and shrugged. "Are any of us going to sing?" Lily asked after about three girls whent up there and sang horribly to horrible songs. "I'll go if one of you go." Jen said, finsihing her food. "Well, I'll come with ya. I'm going to sing as well." James joined her and whent to the back of the three-person line. After waiting a few minutes, it was there turn. "I'm going first!" Jen teased and ran on stage. She was still wearing the sweatshirt. "This song is called-" "I'm going to sing 'All You Wanted' By Michelle Branch." Jen interupted the voice. "I wanted to be like you
I wanted everything
So I tried to be like you
And I got swept away
I didn't know that it was so cold
And you needed someone
to show you the way
So I took your hand and we figured out
That when the tide comes
I'd take you away
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares
I'm sinking slowly
So hurry hold me
Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares
All you wanted was somebody who cares
If you need me you know I'll be there
Oh, yeah
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone." Jen smiled as the crowd clapped. She had a very good voice, not perfect, but very amazing. James patted her on the back as he did to all his friends (A/N: For this who are getting any ideas..). Jen was greated and slapped on the back by her kind friends. (awwwwwwwwww.) James then walked on the stage. The girls when wild as they saw his face. "Right. Well I'll be singing-" "This song is 'I'd Do Anything' by Simple Plan!" The voice interupted, taking his revenge on Jen out on James. "GOOOOOOOO JAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!" Some girl in the audience screamed. "Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting
And I wrote this letter in my head
Cuz so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you
Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
And never come back
So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting
This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you
I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Nanana (....)
And I'd do anything for you
Nanana (....)
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
Cuz I know
I won't forget you."
The crowd whent wild, and Lily was the only one out of her friends that did not know the song was for her. "That song was so totally for me!" Lots of girls where claiming. "Go James!" Remus said with a knowing glance on his face. "Whoo!" Remus slapped his butt. "Nice one!" Ara gave him a high five, while Sirius just grinned. "Hey Lily.."Jen stuck her tounge out at James, "did you get the song?" James gasped. "Uh..what?" Lily arched her eyebrows. "She means its our turn Lily." Ara rolled her eyes and grabbed her friends arm and dragged her on stage. "You go first." They both said at once. "But I dont know what song I'm going to sing!" Lily complained. "Fine fine, I'll go!" Ara ran up on stage and took the microphone. "Hello everyone." She said in a very Elvis-ish voice. "I am going to sing 'You Set Me Free' by Michelle Branch!" She said quickly. "Haha! I beat you, you selfless voice!" Ara laughed. "Did not!" Said the voice. "Did TOO!" "Did not!" "Did TOO!" "Uhem!" McGonagald coughed loudly. (A/N: BTW ppl, i know, too much michelle branch, but its really hard to find a good song that matches whats happening, sort of, and Michelle Branch just happens to have a lot of them!) "Oh, right, sorry Mikey G!" Ara took the microphone in her hand again as the music started.
"Can't you see?
There's a feeling that's come over me
Close my eyes
You're the only one that leaves me completely breathless
No need to wonder why
Sometimes a gift like this you can't deny
'Cause I wanted to fly,
so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free
There's a will
There's a way
Sometimes words just can't explain
This is real
I'm afraid
I guess this time there's just no hiding, fighting
You make me restless
You're in my heart
The only light that shines
there in the dark
'Cause I wanted to fly,
so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free
When I was alone
You came around
When I was down
You pulled me through
And there's nothing that
I wouldn't do for you
'Cause I wanted to fly,
so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free."
Immediatly, there was lots of clapping. Ara had a perfect voice. It was a little-known fact that Ara was a great singer but hardly ever sung. She smiled and hopped off the stage. Lily then climbed up the stage, too, and grabbed the microphone.
"Yo, I'm gonna sing the song 'Too Bad About Your Girl' by The Donnas." (Dont ask)
"Meanie." The voice answered.
"Waitin' all night not a call in sight I got the bait but I got no bite Wanna have some fun, wanna have someone Who can make me feel alright I'm lookin' at you, you're lookin' at me to Yeah you know what I wanna do But your girlfriend wants the night to end Baby tell me somethin' new
It's too bad about your girl She doesn't look like she's much fun It's too bad you got a date tonight Cause you're lookin' like you're the one
She left but now she's back Stickin' out her rack She got you runnin' down the wrong track Can't wait to see her face when I'm in her place And I'm tryin' to get you in the sack
It's too bad about your girl She doesn't look like she's much fun It's too bad you got a date tonight Cause you're lookin' like you're the one
Tell her to leave soon it'll be too late It's like New Year's Eve cause I just can't wait Too bad, (you've got a date tonight) too bad about your girl Yeah it's too bad, (you've got a date tonight) too bad about your girl
If you were smart you'd sent her home on B.A.R.T. Before the real trouble starts Cause who's she gonna slap when she sees me in your lap And you say you had a change of heart I gotta make you mine But we're runnin' outta time She's got you guarded like the Guggenheim It's all that I can take Let's make a jailbreak Or we'll be doin' time in Anaheim."
"Should I?" James whispered to Remus while Lily was singing on stage.
"No!" Remus whispered warningly.
"Ok!" James muttered a spell and suddenly all the guys were ooing and aaaing.
"I said NO!" Remus sighed in dispair.
"Woops."
Lily hear the oooing and aaaaaing but ignored it. "It's too bad about your girl She doesn't look like she's much fun It's too bad you got a date tonight Cause you're lookin' like you're the one
It's too bad about your girl She doesn't look like she's much fun It's too bad you got a date tonight Cause you're lookin' like you're the one."
As she bowed, she looked down, and quickly jumped back up. Her eyes were wide and in shock and anger.
"JAMES POTTER I AM SO GOING TO KILL YOU!" Lily threw the microphone onto the floor and jumped off the stage and hurried to James.
"Why the hell did you do that?" Lily asked furiously.
"I was bored?" James grinned sheepishly.
"BORED? WHAT A LAME EXCUSE!" Lily stomped her foot.
"Are you angry?" James looked down. The whole room was watching.
"Nah! Ya THINK?" Lily asked sarcasticly.
"I'll buy you a chocolate ice-cream in Hogsmade!" James pouted.
"make it five." Lily said quickly.
"Deal." They shook hands and sat down as if nothing has happened.
"But you have to wear that shirt for the rest of the day." James smirked.
"Twelve ice creams."
"Fine!"
"Changing the subject.." Remus started
"Remus, its your turn!" Ara reminded her friend.
"Do I have to go Ara?"
"Yes, you do." Ara ordered and shooed him onto the stage, and the girls of coarse let him cut because he was after all a Marauder.
"And before that voice can interupt me, I'm singing 'Unwell' by-"
"MATCHBOX TWENTY!" The voice yelled.
"Hey!" Remus stuck his tounge out at the nothing.
"All day Staring at the ceiling Makin' friends with shadows on my wall All night Hearing voices telling me that I should get some sleep Because tomorrow might be good for something Hold on Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown and I don't know why
Well I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be
Me, talking to myself in public And dodging glances on the train And I know I know they've all been talkin' bout me I can hear them whisper And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me Out of all the hours thinkin Somehow I've lost my mind
Well I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be
I've been talkin in my sleep Pretty soon they'll come to get me Yeah, they're takin' me away
Well I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be Yeah, How I used to be How I used to be, yeah Well I'm just a little unwell How I used to be (A little unwell) How I used to be I'm just a little unwell."
Remus bowed and winked, and the girls started to yell. He wasn't a player..he was a Marauder.
"Go Remi!" His friends cheered for him once he was off stage.
"Aww..shucks." He said teasingly.
"My Maruader friends, would we like to sing a..quartet?" James asked, counting on his fingers.
"Can we sing THE SONG?" Remus grinned.
"You mean that song that NOBODY can hear us sing?" Sirius gasped.
"No stupid, the OTHER song!" Peter scolded.
"You mean THE SECRET SONG?" Sirius gasped even more.
"Yes, the SECRET SONG!" They were perpously annoying the Devils. (A/N: That sounds cool)
"What song?" Lily begged.
"I'm so sorry Lils, we cant tell!" Remus shrugged, not sounding sorry at all.
"Oh come on! We trust you, you trust us! TELL US!" Jen asked fiercly.
"Nanny nanny boo boo! Stick your head in doo doo!" Sirius cackled and ran onto the stage, again excused by the fanclub. The rest of the Marauders followed him as well.
"We are going-" Sirius began.
"to sing 'Boys-"James continued.
"and Girls' by-" Remus.
"GOOD CHARLOTTE!" Peter announced joyfully, and the Devils began to clap furisouly, also laughing, knowing what was comming next.
The Marauders turned around so that their backs were facing the audience.
"Educated
With money"
The Marauders slapped their butts.
"He's well dressed
Not funny
And not much to say in
Most conversations
But he'll put the bill in
Most situations
Cause he pays for everything!"
They started to whirl an invisble rope above their heads
"Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
Paper
Or plastic
Don't matter
She'll have it
Vacations
And shopping sprees
These are a few
Of her favorite things
She'll get what she wants
If she's willing to please
His type of girl
Always comes with a fee
Hey, now, there's nothing for free
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
And these girls like these boys like these boys like these girls." Sirius began to shake his booty at the crowd, I mean really, shake his booty. (A/N: Sirius is a perverted freak if you havent noticed)
"The girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Let's go!
Hey, hey!
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
And these girls like these boys like these boys like these girls
The girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world "
The girls whent so wild they almost fainted. The Devils were laughing ther asses off. The Marauders where swarmed with girls as they got off stage. After somehow they made their way through the stampede, the Devils where still laughing.
"It was not THAT funny!" Sirius crossed his arms.
"Yes it was!" The Devils said in unison.
"That was so awsome!" Lily patted them on the back.
"Aww, thank you!" James pulled Lily into a spontanouse bear hug.
"James, I can't breath. And I will be murdered by your fan club if you dont let go NOW!" Lily cried franticly.
"Since when have you ever been afraid of that?" Sirius asked accusingly.
"You're right! I feel like pissing them off!" Lily announced happily and returned James hug.
"Awww!" Everyone surrounding them awwed in unisonm including the teachers.
James and Lily quickly let go.
"That was freaky." Lily said quickly and quietly.
"Yes it was." James replied in the same manner.
"How did that happen?" Lily asked Remus, the keeper of all knowledge.
"Lily, Lily, we're fictional charecters!" Remus grinned like a drunken Marauder.
"We're just a figment of the IMAGINATION!" Remus turned his stare to the author, who screamed and ran away.
