Chapter Seven- A certain Green-Eyed Girl

Tuesday 20th May 1976

The common room was quite full after dinner on Tuesday night, and everyone was feeling quite merry, well, what the Gryffindors didn't know was that Sirius had spiked everyone's drinks with Ogden's Firewhiskey and Vladimir's Vodka whilst James played with the Snitch and everyone watched in awe.

Remus was slouched on the settee by the fire, his eyes drooping and a sheepish grin on his face. Every so often he would giggle lightly and scratch his nose absent-mindedly. Peter was sitting upside down on an armchair next to Remus, his head lolling off the seat, and his legs crossed up the back. Peter kept on pointing at flies that had come in through the window with his wand and was setting them alight. James was utterly pissed. He had Quidditch practice before dinner so was extremely thirsty, and drank several goblets of pumpkin juice in mere seconds. He was standing on the table in the centre of the common room singing God Rest Ye Merry Hippogriffs without any form of bewitchment, and utterly out of tune. Even Lily Evans and her friend Ciara Taylor were drunk. Ciara was doing an Irish jig on the steps of the girl's staircase, and Lily was sitting on the window ledge, her head resting on her arm as it stretched out on the perimeter of the window, and she was singing a lullaby to herself, staring at James vaguely.

The only person not drunk was Sirius. He was leaning on the wall by the fireplace, laughing at the drunk Gryffindors. He wanted to take advantage of Remus being drunk, but Remus was starting to fall asleep… So he turned his head to James singing Christmas songs on the big table. James had now donned a peach neck scarf and was dancing with it looking very odd indeed. "Look at me! I'm just fabulous! I'm fabulous aren't I Padfoot?" Giggled James weakly, doing a twirl on the table.

"Oh yes. Fabulous!" Sirius shouted sarcastically in a mock upper English accent, far different from his London brogue.

"Lily! Aren't I just fabulous? Padfoot thinks so!" James laughed, he twirled again to face Lily. Lily came out of her reverie and raised her eyebrows at James.

"No, you're a conceited, arrogant little brat! You're so vain…" She grunted, rolling her eyes at him, folding her arms, even when drunk, she still loathed James Potter. James now raised his eyebrows and adjusted his hat imperiously.

"But Sirius said I was fabulous! He agreed with me, surely that counts as something!" James pleaded and stopped swirling around on the table.

"You walked into the party, like you were walking onto a yacht, your hat strategically dipped below one eye." She was singing. Lily Evans was singing. Lily Evans was singing. People stopped what they were doing, even Remus was prodded awake. "Your scarf it was apricot! You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte!" She jumped down from the window and over to James, who was still standing on the table, but now with a vacant expression. "And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner!" She sang it, as if the mere thought of dating James Potter would possibly be the most disgusting thing a girl could do. "They'd be your partner, and... You're so vain! you probably think this song is about you! You're so vain!" Lily rounded on James, circling the circular table, her eyes reduced to narrow slits.

"Remus… Remus wake up!" Sirius whispered, poking Remus in the face.

"I'll bet you think this song is about you! Don't you? don't you?"

"But it is…" James retorted, looking horrified at Lily.

"You had me several years ago, when I was still quite naïve. Well you said that we made such a pretty pair, and that you would never leave!" James stepped back, true, in their first year he attempted to kiss Lily after telling her for the first time that she was, indeed, wonderful. "But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me…"

"I can explain that!"

"I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee, and... You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you? You're so vain! I'll bet you think this song is about you, don't you? Don't you?" She wailed, her red hair crackling with madness. She did a dramatic whirl and then jumped onto the table with James, eyeing James with utter hate. There was a musical intermission, giving Lily a chance to do this to the wholly traumatized James.

"Why is Lily singing? I thought it was only us who sang?" Peter asked Remus and Sirius, he was still upside down, and watching Lily with his tongue lolling out. Remus and Sirius both shrugged, and dazed at Lily vacantly.

"I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee! Clouds in my coffee, and... You're so vain! You probably think this song is about you! You're so vain! I'll bet you think this song is about you, don't you? Don't you?" There was no denying she had a great voice, in fact, her great voice probably didn't help James, he appeared to be melting into the wooden table, her milky vocals sending him into a strange trance. "Well I hear you went up to the Shetlands and your horse, naturally won! Then you flew your broomstick down to Gloucester! To see the total eclipse of the sun!"

"No… I didn't… Wasn't the eclipse in Yorkshire? Since when do they race horses in the Shetland Isles?" Lily ignored James's comments.

"Well you're where you should be all the time! And when you're not you're with, some underworld spy, or the wife of a close friend wife of a close friend, and…"

"Wait a second, you're really wrong there, none of my mates are married!" She again, ignored him, and continued to belt out her song.

"You're so vain! You probably think this song is about you! You're so vain! I'll bet you think this song is about you don't you? Don't you?" She threw James one last look, and jumped off the table, but she tripped over her own robes in her drunk state. Everyone apart from James laughed at her, James in fact, jumped down to help her up, to try and prove he was not vain in any form or manner.

"You alright Lily?" He asked, grabbing her hand and dragging her on to her feet.

"What?" She spat, jumping backwards and away from James. "Of course I am!" She looked around and saw Gryffindors suppressing giggles. "I don't need you to help me up!"

"But you fell over! I was being considerate!" James shook his head violently at Lily, he really didn't understand women… Lily snorted and went to walk off. "But you just sang!" She stopped dead in her tracks and turned around to look at James.

"What?" She hissed impatiently, glaring at James.

"You sang; a song!"

"No I didn't, you're just trying to stir me up! It's common knowledge you four do that kind of entertainment here at Hogwarts!"

"Ask anyone here! Go on, they will tell you that you sang!" She looked nervously at James, and then around to the milling drunk crowd. Some nodded, giggling profusely, some shouted "YES!" and others were so drunk they just howled.

"I don't believe it… I feel a bit tipsy… But that's it, you're all seeing things… Why am I feeling tipsy?…"

"Oh, that was me." Sirius laughed, coming over to the argument, leaving Remus on the settee falling asleep.

"What?" Lily looked simply furious, she was sobering up after her singing outburst.

"I should go…" He looked nervously around the common room.

"No, you're staying right here! You're not drunk! Was I singing or not?"

"You were singing." Lily whipped out her wand, and Sirius eyed it nervously.

"TELL ME THE TRUTH!"

"HE IS EVANS! Feed us Vertiserum, I'm sure you can get some from your darling Snivellus!" James screamed, coming to his senses a bit more.

"Darling Snivellus…? Don't be disgusting Potter - We all know we'd catch something off him if we went anywhere near him!" James laughed at this remark, Lily's mouth twitched slightly as if to laugh, but thought better of it. Sirius stood between Lily and James, and smiled to himself. Peter was turning green upside down, and Remus had woken up and was crawling over to the arguing trio.

"You're right." James laughed. "But not about the vain thing! I don't even own a mirror!"

"Er, yes you do…" Sirius laughed remembering his and James's two way mirror.

"Not counting that one… Oh you know what I mean!" James shouted impatiently, flapping his arms at his sides. Lily rolled her eyes at both of the boys and turned on her heel to leave the common room for her dormitory.

"Hey! Hey!" Sirius ran up to her, stopping her as she reached the bottom of the staircase. Lily gave him a dirty look, and folded her arms.

"What now? If I'm going to have a hangover tomorrow, I want enough sleep." Lily groaned, rolling here eyes once again.

"Did you feel a strong, er surge of emotion, like hate for James, before you sang?"

"Um, I did actually… Why?"

Author's Note - *Looks at reviews in glee* It's not Queen! It's some woman called Carly Simon… I think she's from the Eighties, not sure, all I know is that I heard this song, at Ciara's house when her sister was doing some strange moves… And thus, wrote! Sorry for the lack of update, I did worse then predicted at GCSE and sank into a wallow of dire self-pity… But I picked myself up through glasses of wine and your reviews!

Hint hint! REVIEW AGAIN!

Coming soon…. Remus sings again after he is bewitched in another strange manner, this time by Sirius accidentally!

We go into their final seventh year, to 1977 when John Travolta was the best thing since sliced bread and disco dancing was the thing!

All this week, and all inspired whilst being stuck on a damn bus in a bloody traffic jam whilst the electrical power in London ceased to exist…

REVIEW! PLEASE!
