GREEN EYES
CHAPTER 22-THEY WILL SURVIVE
Roy, who had introduced himself as Gilderoy, extended his hand to Lily in a very professional manner, flashing his smile and smoothing back his hair in a manner that he considered suave. James couldn't help but laugh, and Lauren seemed rather mad at her brother.
"Roy, will you stop that! You're embarrassing!" yelled Lauren.
"What are you going to do to me, woman?" he asked. Lauren slapped him across the face.
"How many times have I told you NOT to call me woman?" she replied.
"Only if you call me by my proper name," said Roy.
"Fine, Gilderoy, will you please leave so I can chat with my friends?" asked Lauren somewhat politely.
"I wanted to use the spa," he said. Lauren sighed.
"You can go into the pool. There's a personal spa underneath the third waterfall past the sculpture of the mermaid," James told him. Roy, looking very defeated, turned toward the pool and dived into the waterfall a few seconds later.
"I really don't like that boy. He got his letter from Hogwarts three days ago and hasn't talked about anything else since. I caught him the other day in our library trying to find charms to make his teeth whiter and his hair shinier. I don't know what's wrong with him, he's totally obsessed with his appearance." said Lauren, sinking into the hot water of the spa.
"Can teeth get whiter than that?" James wondered aloud.
"I guess so," replied Lily.
"Well, anyways, what's been going on with you two?" asked Lauren.
"Everyone is over at my house right now. Tomorrow we are going to get our driver's licenses. It's a muggle thing," Lily added when she saw the confused look on Lauren's face.
"Oh, that's good. Where are Sirius and Remus?" asked Lauren.
"Oh, they're at home, probably causing havoc," said James. He had no idea how right he was.
***
"At first I was afraid, I was petrified. Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side. But then I spent so many nights, just thinkin how you did me wrong and I grew strong, and I learned how to get along, and now you're back..." sang Sirius, terribly off-key as he skipped down the muggle street with Remus walking behind him.
"Um, Sirius, don't you think you should stop singing?" asked Remus. Sirius laughed.
"No, being normal is highly overrated. Now, what was I saying, oh yeah! And now you're back, from outer space, I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face, I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key, if I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me..." sang Sirius, slightly louder. Remus sighed.
"Sirius, isn't that a girl song?" asked Remus, thinking that he might be able to shut Sirius up.
"No dude, it's totally righteous!" said Sirius, trying to sound cool. "Oh, walk out the door, just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore, weren't you the one that tried to hurt me with good bye, you think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die, come on Remus, sing with me!"
"I rather like being quiet, thanks," said Remus. Sirius frowned.
"Stop being such a stick in the mud!" yelled Sirius. Remus finally gave in.
"Alright, I'll sing with you, but only because you cursed me or something!" said Remus, and then he started to sing in a sexy, perfectly on-key voice.
"Oh no not I, I will survive, oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive, I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey!" they sang together, skipping down the street like a re-enactment of the Wizard of Oz. Then they broke apart and started dancing in the street.
"It took all the strength I had, not to fall apart, just tryin hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart. I spent so many nights just feeling sorry for myself, I used to cry, but now I hold me head up high! Now you see me, somebody new, not that little person still in love with you," they sang, rather loudly, line dancing at the same time. Sirius noticed that there were people across the street at a garage sale, and he waved for them to come over and dance with them. Soon everyone had joined in.
"Oh now go, walk out the door, just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore. Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with good-bye, you think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die, oh no not I, I will survive, oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive, I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey!" they yelled. Sirius finished singing and went over to the man that was working the garage sale. Remus followed him.
"Yeah, so what is this thing you've got going here?" he asked. The man looked surprised, like he wasn't sure that Sirius was human, and then answered him.
"A garage sale. Last day, marked down 15 percent!" said the man.
"Uh-huh. Well, I'm not in need of a garage right now, but I would like that!" he said, pointing at a large, black object.
"My wife has been wanting me to get rid of that for a long time. I'll give it to you for 2,000 pounds," he replied happily. Sirius nodded and thrust money into his hands.
"How did you get that?" asked Remus as the man brought over the whatever it was.
"I was listening to muggle radio and won some contest. 10,000 pounds! I have no idea how much money that is but I think it's probably a lot. I'm gonna spend some of it here and then change the rest for normal money." said Sirius excitedly. The man handed Sirius his purchase and Sirius smiled.
"So what is it?" asked Remus.
"I don't exactly know, but I have a friend, Arthur Weasley, who might. He graduated a few years back, got married to Molly, you know that nice, kind of chubby Gryffindor? Well, he knows everything about muggle stuff, we can take it back to him!" said Sirius, and soon they were on their way to the Burrow.
***
Gilderoy sat in the private spa, admiring himself in the waterfall, which acted like a full length mirror. He ran his fingers through his wonderful and thought about how charming he was.
"Oh Gilderoy, you are an animal!" he said. He then started to model for an imaginary camera, picking up an imaginary object.
"Gilderoy, make love to the book, make love to the book. Now hate the book! Hate it Gilderoy, hate the book!" he yelled. He hoped no one could hear him. That might be a little bit embarrassing.
"Oh, I am a lean, mean, dashing future best selling writer machine!" he said happily.
"Say's who?" replied a soft voice behind him. He turned around and saw a mermaid floating by him.
"A-a mermaid! Why, how did you get here?" questioned Gilderoy, trying to ignore the fact that she had disagreed with him.
"I've been here the whole time. And I'm not a real mermaid, I'm a statue." she explained.
"Oh, well a statue of a mermaid is no judge of me. I'm sure the mermen are dying to look like me, and you're just jealous that I'm not a merman." said Gilderoy.
"Yeah, if you say so. Now, what is that on your head?" she asked.
"Oh, do I have something on my hair? NOOOOOO, I must get it off, right now, or it will poison my hair and suck all of the shininess out of it!" yelled Gilderoy shrilly, frantically trying to fix his precious hair.
"Oh, wait a minute that's your hair! My bad," said the mermaid. This got Gilderoy very upset.
"Why I oughta..." he started, raising his hands in a fist.
"Go ahead, bring it!" yelled the mermaid, and soon they were engaged in a huge fight.
***
"I'm going to go to my room and get something real quick. Wait for me in the living room, ok?" said Sirius. Remus nodded and walked over to the living room, where he found Lily's book lying on the couch.
"Wonder where they went," he mumbled, sitting down on the couch and picking up the book to read the back of it. Suddenly, a face appeared in the fire.
"Hey Remus, what's up? Bet you're wondering where everyone is," said Lauren.
"Yeah, that would be great. Why don't you tell me?" Remus asked.
"James' house. You've been there, right?" she asked.
"Uh-huh. So, does he mind if I stop by?" questioned Remus.
"Course not. Just don't tell Sirius. He'll cause a lot of trouble..." said Lauren, trailing off. Remus agreed and then used the floo powder to get to James's. He didn't realize that Sirius was behind him, listening to every word they said...
***
"They think that I would cause trouble? Me! Ickle Sirius Black would never cause any trouble. Although now that you mention it..." he exclaimed, getting a fabulous idea. He put some floo powder in the fireplace and shouted for Mr. and Mrs. Potter.
"Well Sirius, what a, um, PLEASENT surprise. No frog's brains this time I hope?" said Mrs. Potter.
"Oh, no of course not. I learned my lesson with those. I could never, ever try to cook them again, and they really don't taste that good anyway." explained Sirius. Mrs. Potter laughed.
"Well, that's great Sirius. So, did you just want to tell me that or did you have something else to say?" she asked. Sirius smiled.
"Why yes, I do actually. There's something you need to know about James..." Sirius told her. Mrs. Potter's smile went away.
"Yes, and what is that?" she wondered. Sirius smiled, this would be too easy.
"Well, I don't mean to be the one to break this to you but, see, James failed fifth year. He didn't want me to tell you, and he hid all the owls Dumbledore sent to you, but I figured that you need to know." said Sirius, in an oddly serious tone of voice. Mrs. Potter practically fainted.
"How, how could this happen? James is a prefect!" she yelled, very startled.
"Something about animal sacrifices in Care of Magical Creatures. And then there was the whole blowing up Professor Dumbledore's beard thing. Let's just say he's not a good little boy..." said Sirius. Mrs. Potter gasped.
"Animal sacrifices? Albus' beard?? Well, I need to march right down there and give that boy a piece of my mind." screamed Mrs. Potter. "Good bye Sirius dear."
Sirius grinned devilishly as Mrs. Potter disappeared. Only one more call to make...
***
"Lily, has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?" asked James.
"Not today," said Lily sweetly. James smiled.
"You're beautiful," he said. Lily smiled.
"Hey James, do you think that Lauren and Sirius will ever hook up?"
questioned Lily.
"Yeah, maybe. They're cute together," said James, smiling and pulling Lily in closer to him.
"Yeah, but they're constantly in that whole love-hate, denying that they like each other mode," muttered Lily sadly.
"I'm just glad that I don't have to go through that with you," James told her.
"You never know mister. There is still Nancy to put up with..." started Lily.
"Well who cares about her? I don't." James exclaimed.
"Good, I used to be such good friends with her, I don't know what happened."
"I happened."
"It's not your fault. She's evil, that's all."
"I feel responsible. I'm so sorry too. It's all my fault."
"No it's not. Let's go on to a less depressing subject. Why don't you tell me how beautiful I am."
"You're beautiful."
***
"Hey Jamie, I have to talk to you!" said Sirius, yelling into the fire. Jamie's head suddenly appeared.
"What do you want now?" she asked.
"Sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news, but guess what is happening." said Sirius.
"What's going on and why do you look so happy about it?" Jamie questioned Sirius suspiciously.
"Well, you see, Lauren is over at James' house." started Sirius.
"Yeah, so?" asked Jamie, who seemed really annoyed.
"Well, guess who she is making out with," Sirius continued.
"Obviously not you!" exclaimed Jamie.
"Alas, no," said Sirius in a dejected tone of voice.
"Well, who is it then?" asked Lauren.
"Your boyfriend!" explained Sirius happily. Jamie's smiled instantly went away.
"WHAT???? Why are you happy about this?" yelled Jamie harshly.
"Well, since this happened you're probably available again." Sirius said, making loud kissy noises.
"You're disgusting!" yelled Jamie, trying to hit Sirius and then remembering that he was still at Lily's house. "I am so mad at Remus. I want to go over to James' house right now and give him a piece of my mind!"
"Well, you can. I bet you have some floo powder." said Sirius.
"When I get done with him, he will be so sorry he did this. I'm going to beat him up!" yelled Jamie.
"You go girl!" exclaimed Sirius.
***
At James' house, several things happened at once. James kissed Lily. Jamie ran out of a fire place and slapped Remus and Lauren across their faces. Mrs. Potter hit James over the head with a frying pan, and Gilderoy ran out of the waterfall, chased by what he called a 'demon mermaid.' James didn't know what he had done wrong, Lauren and Remus definitely didn't know what they had done wrong, Lily was quite confused and Gilderoy had two black eyes from the mermaid. It was about that point when Sirius burst through the door.
"Oh now go, walk out the door, just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore! Weren't you the one that tried to hurt me with good-bye, you think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die, oh no not I, I will survive, oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive, I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey!!" he sang loudly. No one seemed to notice him, which made him a little angry.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me that you failed the fifth year!"
"You FAILED???"
"How could you cheat on me? And with her? I can't believe this, I thought you loved me!"
"Nice mermaid, nice mermaid..."
"At first I was afraid, I was petrified. Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side..."
"What do you mean failed? I never failed."
"I didn't cheat on you, I swear!"
"Remus, why didn't you tell me that you had something going on with me?"
"Um, I'm pretty sure that James didn't fail."
"NICE MERMAID!"
"But then I spent so many nights, just thinkin how you did me wrong, and I grew strong, and I learned how to get along..."
"SIRIUS BLACK!" yelled Mrs. Potter and Lily at the same time.
"That's my name, don't wear it out!" said Sirius.
"What did you do this time?" interrogated Mrs. Potter. "It better not have anything to do with exploding pizza this time, that took quite awhile to clean up..."
"Um, no. It's all based on my powers to get people to believe what you want them to believe." explained Sirius.
"You mean it was all a lie?" asked Jamie.
"Well, I wouldn't consider it a lie per-se. How about, um, creative mischief?" said Sirius, obviously hoping to get away with it.
"Oh Sirius, I am going to kill you!" screamed Mrs. Potter.
"Oh no. Come on people, let's sing!" exclaimed Sirius. "Oh now go, walk out the door, just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore-" started Sirius, but everyone in the house was chasing him around, trying to hurt him.
"Oh please get away from me evil mermaid. I'll write you into my book. I'll give you a make over so that you look gorgeous. Please, please!" said Gilderoy, but no one seemed to care. They were all away, chasing around Sirius. Mr. Potter went inside, heard all the screaming and saw Gilderoy with the mermaid. 'Yep,' he thought. 'Just another regular day at the Potter house.'
A/N-So how did you guys like that? I hope you laughed at least a little bit. This chapter is pretty long, to make up for about three relatively short ones. I want the summer to be over pretty soon so everyone can go back to Hogwarts. That's gonna be great...
Just letting you know, I like this story so much that I am writing two sequels and a prequel to it. Those are called "The Scarlet Dawn," "Fallen Angel," and "To the Ends of Time." The last one will have a tiny bit of Harry/Hermione in it, but as I don't want to make anyone mad, it will have some Ron/Hermione in it too. And Ginny will probably fall for Harry. Don't worry though, it can't be very romancy as it is only in
their first and second years.
Ok, so I am terribly sorry about the length of this authors note. It won't happen again. I would like to thank Pepsiangel aka Crystal for beta reading this chapter and the rest of them. Please read and review! You know you want to.
Disclaimer-I don't own Harry Potter or the song I Will Survive. They belong to big, important people. Alas, I'm also not making any money writing this. Please, please, please don't sue me!
CHAPTER 22-THEY WILL SURVIVE
Roy, who had introduced himself as Gilderoy, extended his hand to Lily in a very professional manner, flashing his smile and smoothing back his hair in a manner that he considered suave. James couldn't help but laugh, and Lauren seemed rather mad at her brother.

"Fine, Gilderoy, will you please leave so I can chat with my friends?" asked Lauren somewhat politely.
"I wanted to use the spa," he said. Lauren sighed.
"You can go into the pool. There's a personal spa underneath the third waterfall past the sculpture of the mermaid," James told him. Roy, looking very defeated, turned toward the pool and dived into the waterfall a few seconds later.
"I really don't like that boy. He got his letter from Hogwarts three days ago and hasn't talked about anything else since. I caught him the other day in our library trying to find charms to make his teeth whiter and his hair shinier.

Remus sighed.
"Sirius, isn't that a girl song?" asked Remus, thinking that he might be able to shut Sirius up.

"SIRIUS BLACK!" yelled Mrs. Potter and Lily at the same time.
"That's my name, don't wear it out!" said Sirius.
"What did you do this time?" interrogated Mrs. Potter. "It better not have anything to do with exploding pizza this time, that took quite awhile to clean up..."
"Um, no. It's all based on my powers to get people to believe what you want them to believe." explained Sirius.
"You mean it was all a lie?" asked Jamie.
"Well, I wouldn't consider it a lie per-se. How about, um, creative mischief?" said Sirius, obviously hoping to get away with it.
"Oh Sirius, I am going to kill you!" screamed Mrs. Potter.
"Oh no. Come on people, let's sing!" exclaimed Sirius. "Oh now go, walk out the door, just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore-" started Sirius, but everyone in the house was chasing him around, trying to hurt him.
"Oh please get away from me evil mermaid. I'll write you into my book. I'll give you a make over so that you look gorgeous. Please, please!" said Gilderoy, but no one seemed to care. They were all away, chasing around Sirius. Mr. Potter went inside, heard all the screaming and saw Gilderoy with the mermaid. 'Yep,' he thought. 'Just another regular day at the Potter house.'
A/N-So how did you guys like that? I hope you laughed at least a little bit. This chapter is pretty long, to make up for about three relatively short ones. I want the summer to be over pretty soon so everyone can go back to Hogwarts. That's gonna be great...
Just letting you know, I like this story so much that I am writing two sequels and a prequel to it. Those are called "The Scarlet Dawn," "Fallen Angel," and "To the Ends of Time." The last one will have a tiny bit of Harry/Hermione in it, but as I don't want to make anyone mad, it will have some Ron/Hermione in it too. And Ginny will probably fall for Harry. Don't worry though, it can't be very romancy as it is only in
their first and second years.
Ok, so I am terribly sorry about the length of this authors note. It won't happen again. I would like to thank Pepsiangel aka Crystal for beta reading this chapter and the rest of them. Please read and review! You know you want to.
Disclaimer-I don't own Harry Potter or the song I Will Survive. They belong to big, important people. Alas, I'm also not making any money writing this. Please, please, please don't sue me!
