Chapter Two - Remus

Friday 9th May 1976

The Marauders stepped into the Entrance Hall, James was still looking a trifle confused, whilst the other three refused to believe what they saw.

"You mean to say, I just sang a song from the future?" James asked his three friends, totally perplexed.

"Yes, you did mate." Sirius laughed, his dark eyes scrunching up in glee. "Oh god, I wish we had those… Oh what are they called? Muggles have them…"

"Video cameras?" James sighed. "Lily mentioned them in Charms, she said that she should film me…"

"So you can see what a git you are when you're around her?" Remus asked fairly.

"Erm, yeah…" James shook his head. "Any ideas as to why I just sang?" He looked around his friends who just shrugged and frowned.

Next Day….

James, Sirius, Remus and Peter, made their way down to breakfast, James tried desperately to forget the fiasco at dinner yesterday, but he couldn't, as Snape was glaring at him with a strange smirk on his face…

"I bet he did it." James hissed, glowering at Snape from across the hall. "Put a charm on me…" James sighed, then noticed an howl drop a red letter centimetres from his bowl of Weetabix.

"You've got a Howler." Remus whispered. James didn't need telling, he stared at it, utterly gob smacked. "Go on, open it." Sirius and Peter nodded in agreement. Gingerly, James ripped it open, and before the entire school, he heard it.

"JAMES POTTER! YOU ARE SUCH A BIG HEADED, NASTY LITTLE BOY! HOW DARE YOU THINK YOU CAN SING TO ME AT DINNER? THAT WAS THE MOST HORRIFYING MOMENT OF MY ENTIRE LIFE! YOU SELFISH PIG! I HOPE YOU HAVE A HORRID DETENTION! CLEANING OUT BEDPANS IN THE HOSPITAL WING WITH OUT MAGIC! OH GOD I HATE YOU POTTER!" Lily Evans's voice echoed around the Great Hall, James watched the letter curl up into flames. Snape was now grinning broadly. Sirius and Peter were trying their best not to laugh at the furious expression on James's face. Whereas Remus…

"Another red letter day." Remus said quietly, James, Sirius and Peter frowned at him.

"It was a Howler!" James shouted defensively. He crossed his arms, and went to dig into his Weetabix.

"So the Knut has dropped and the children are creating, the other half ran away taking, all the cash and leaving you with the lumber, got a pain in the chest, doctor's on strike what you need is a rest." It was now Remus that was singing, quietly, in barely a whisper, but he was still singing. James nearly fell on the seat, whereas Sirius and Peter started to laugh again.

"Moony?" James asked warily.

"It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust. Friends will be friends! When you're in need of love they give you care and attention! Friends will be friends! When you're through with life and all hope is lost! Hold out your hands cos friends will be friends right till the end!" Remus had now gained enough confidence to sing slightly louder for the chorus. He beamed around at his friends, who were now in thoroughly shocked. Remus turned to James

"Now it's a beautiful day! The postman delivered a letter from your lover-"

"It was a Howler, and she's not my lover, not yet…" James groaned, interrupting Remus's singing.

"Only a Floo call away, You tried to track her down but somebody stole her fireplace as a matter of fact you're getting used to life without her in your way!"

"What? No Moony, I'm not getting used to life without Lily-"

"It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust. Friends will be friends! When you're in need of love they give you care and attention! Friends will be friends! When you're through with life and all hope is lost! Hold out your hands cos friends will be friends right till the end!" The entire Great Hall was now listening, and watching. McGonagall was fuming, her lips had gone white, and she was shaking, however, she wasn't moving. Dumbledore was smiling to himself, humming along.

"Please don't say I did this!" James looked pleadingly at Sirius and Peter, who were so doubled up in laughter they couldn't laugh. Remus opened his mouth to sing again, but James screamed, "NO DON'T DO IT MOONY!"

"It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust. Friends will be friends! When you're in need of love they give you care and attention! Friends will be friends! When you're through with life and all hope is lost! Hold out your hands cos friends will be friends right till the end!" He had now turned to Sirius, Sirius stopped laughing, he was beyond laughter, Peter however was still laughing. Remus had now taking to standing on the stool to the Gryffindor table, his fist banging his chest in pure love for his friends. McGonagall came to her senses.

"YOU ARE A PREFECT! GET DOWN MISTER LUPIN! STOP THIS SINGING THIS INSTANT!" Remus didn't get to his senses, he had to sing the chorus to Peter.

"It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust. Friends will be friends! When you're in need of love they give you care and attention! Friends will be friends! When you're through with life and all hope is lost! Hold out your hands cos friends will be friends right till the end!" Remus held on to the note like James had done the other day. McGonagall had now strode over, she threw water over his head, but he still looked proudly down upon his friends, although his light brown hair was sopping wet. Luckily Remus had finally finished the song, having sung a bit for each Marauder. He stepped down, and frowned.

"Moony? You alright?" Sirius asked, chuckling, tears streaming from his eyes.

"Er, why am I wet?" Remus, absolutely confounded, he turned around and saw Professor McGonagall looking like a mad-woman, her wand out.

"You were singing Mr Lupin!" Remus swore under his breath.

"Are you quite sure?" Remus frowned, he refused to believe he had sung like James.

"Yes, quite sure. Ask any one in his Hall!"

"Oh…"

"Detention! See me after Transfiguration! You too Mr Potter!" McGonagall turned on her hell. "Singing in Hogwarts - what ever next?…"

"I sang?" Remus asked his friends turning around to them. They nodded. "Was I good? What did I sing?"

"Queen, Friends Will Be Friends." Peter muttered matter-of-factly.

"How'd you know what it was called?" Sirius asked, his eyebrows narrowed.

"Muggle music is alright… ok?"

"Was I good?"

"Yeah actually… Was I good yesterday?" James asked. The three boys nodded. James looked upwards thoughtfully, he glanced over to the Slytherin table and saw Snape looking quite satisfied.

"What is it Prongs?" Remus asked, sitting down, not noticing that everyone was whispering.

"Snivellus… He did it!" James threw Snape a deadly look. The four of them stood up and looked over to Snape.

"Are you sure?" Remus asked. "Doesn't it take advanced magic to make us sing?"

"Well we manage to turn into animals at will…"

"Sssh! I can't help mine…" Remus grumbled, putting his finger to his lips. The boys left the hall, unaware the entire school was now whispering about them.

Author's Note - Wow! Thanks for the reviews! Biscuits for everyone!!

Red Head From Hell… My Bio… the comment about Harry is sarcastic, I live in Britain, we're all sarcastic. If you read further on, I said it was all Voldemort's fault. I don't actually blame Harry at all, I was just being, well sarcastic… and I'm sarcastic a lot… I'm actually shocked someone read by bio! But maybe I should change it, not everyone gets my sarcasm…

But anyway! Wow! Thanks for all the reviews! I said that already didn't I? I hope you enjoyed it, and don't forget to review again!
