Sirius walked around outside unaware of the occurrences in the hospital wing. James was most likely flying around somewhere. This was insane. ~Voldemort must not have been hugged as a kid. Wait, neither was I and I'm fine. ~ He thought. Smiling to himself he thought about what Moony and Prongs would say to that. Prongs would say, "You? Fine? When?" Moony's reaction would be something along the lines of, "I believe that's open to some debate." Wormtail would sit there laughing like a moron. Sirius sighed. What had happened to Riley? Was it Voldemort? He know she could take on Bellabitch. (Sorry Yavanna had too! It seemed so.Sirius-y) She'd proven that at the first and only Black Family Reunion.
~~~~~~~~~*********************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**************~~~~~~~~~~~~*****~ ~~~
As Sirius predicted Prongs was indeed flying around. Flight always helped James to sort things out. Actually, so did pranking. Must get Snivelly later. Muaha! So Voldemort wanted Riley on is side. It was no wonder really; she was as powerful as she was intelligent. Voldemort just had to go and fuck up other people's lives didn't he? He killed all of James' family minus him and his parents. He always thought Dumbledore was related to him somehow though. Just a hunch.....it was weird. James knew he was the heir to Gryffindor even though he wasn't supposed to. Was eavesdropping such a crime? And that was why his family was killed off. But Dumbledore even looked like Godric Gryffindor at an old age.
~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~~~~*************~~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~~** ***
Rebecca and Lily had just gotten done talking to Catalina. So Riley was indeed the heir to the throne, and destined to be with a wolf. Interesting. But! Best of all, her wings might be growing back!! That's what -could- have caused the scars to open up. Catalina just said she hoped Riley accepted her heritage and destiny, because if she didn't things would get bad and worse. Lily went up to the astronomy tower while Rebecca went outside in cat form. Rebecca was lost in pondering and ran into Sirius Black's leg. ~Bloody fantastic.~ she thought, ~He's probably gonna set me on fire or flush me down a toilet.~ But to her surprise he did neither.
Sirius looked down at the outrageously large cat. "Whoa. Hey, Kitty." He said stroking her soft fur. If cats could laugh Rebecca would have been rolling. He just said kitty! Why that was so funny she'd never know......."Well you can't be from the forest. Do you belong to anyone?" he asked. ~Why am I concerned about a cat?!~
~~~~~~***************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**************~~~~~~~~~*******~~~~~~*~ *~*
Lily meanwhile, was sitting in a daydream on the Astronomy tower window. Why did it seem things get worse as you get older? Sure, being a witch rocked, but these were dark times. She felt safe at Hogwarts but they'd be gone the year after next. Lily sighed. (there seems to be a lot of that going on) Something was streaking toward the window. Lily tired and confused as she was leaned out to see what it was, then...found herself being held onto a broom by James Potter. "POTTER!!!!" she screeched.
"Yes?" replied James in a sly tone.
"Put me on the ground!" Lily howled. She always hated flying. Sighing, James complied with her demand. Lily hardly noticed she was still ranting so much. "You -know- I hate flying!"
"Fine!" James finally bellowed. "Next time I'll just let you fall!" That said he stalked off. Lily sputtered indigently. ~Would not have fallen.~ Yet, her brain kept trying to tell her she would have.
~~~~~~*************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~**************~ ~~~~
Rebecca was so wrapped up in thinking she did note that, in cat form mind you, she was laying on Sirius' lap. "You know your eyes remind me of someone." He stated randomly.
~oh crap.~
Sirius let out a sigh. "Rebecca Donaldson. She's bloody awesome you know? Smart funny..." At this point Rebecca let out a mew. "She's beautiful inside and out. The problem is she hates me. Sure, I've gone out with a lot of people, but none of them meant anything. They only went out with me because of how I look. Can we say, shallow?"
Rebecca peered up at him.
"I'm spilling my guts to a cat. For all I know you may be an illegal animagus." (A/N; man, did he nail that on the nose)
The cat's eyes grew wide and she bounded off into the night. Sirius checked his watch. 2:15 am? 'Tempus Fugit' as Moony would say. Time flees.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~*************************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************** *****
Fuming, James mad his way to the Gryffindor tower. " I wasn't trying to be an arse! She was about to fall out the bloody window! What was I -supposed- to do? Let her fall?!" Muttering to himself he fell down on a crimson sofa. ~I wonder where the others are.~
~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wormtail had been at the Quidditch pitch. Lord Voldemort himself had just approached him! The Dark One said that he had potential! Needless to say, Peter was surprised and shocked. Now he'd show his friends what he could really do. He just had to keep it a secret for now.
~~~~~~~~~~*************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~********~~~~~~~~~~~****~~~~~~
Rebecca jumped into their dorm room trough the window and "went human". Ok, so Black wasn't such a player/jerk. Damn, she'd never hear the end of it from Emerald and Sapphire.
~~~~~~~*************~~~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
Moony glanced up from his flashback and saw that Riley was awake. Their gazes met. ~WolfSoul? Nah.......couldn't be.~ Moony pondered.
~But I am.~ Riley answered telepathically. Moony went into a panic. No one was able to hear each other unless they were all in animal form! And even so, that thought was only sent to himself! What was goin on here??
"All in animal form?" questioned Riley aloud. "Guess you're as lost about this as I am. But considering what you just said you must be human."
~I'm sorry.~ Moony said and fled the room. As soon as he was gone he changed human, panting. What was that connection they had just had? To see each other's thoughts and emotions? He'd seen why she had that haunted look when she thought no one was looking. But! He needed to be there for her as Remus, not Moony. His mind was made up.
~~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~ ~
"James." Sirius said. James grunted.
"What's wrong?"
Another grunt.
"Don't make me get BooBoo Stag down here!" he threatened.
Sneering, James replied, "You wouldn't."
"ACCIO BOOBOO STAG!" A very care-worn, stuffed stag flew into the common room to Sirius. James' eyes popped out of his head. "Put it back!" he hissed. Sirius shook his head.
"Oh yeah? I'll get Your Mom!"
Sirius shrugged. "Your Mom is very rugged and manly."
"ACCIO YOUR MOM!" cried James. Sure enough, a black stuffed animal zoomed in to James. It was a blue-eyed puppy with its tongue hanging out. Neither of them noticed Remus and Peter walk in. Peter was excited and Remus looked.......confused?
"Oh no!" Peter exclaimed.
"Not Your Mom and BooBoo Stag!" Remus said shaking his head. Sirius and James both turned.
"How's Riley?" they both asked.
"Fine."
"Good."
"GIVE ME YOUR MOM!" bellowed Sirius.
"Do you have any remote idea how wrong that sounded?" pondered Remus.
"NOT UNTIL YOU GIVE ME BOOBOO STAG!"
"FINE! COUNT OF THREE!"
"FINE!"
On three the two exchanged the animals. "Why do you still have those things at 16?" asked Remus.
"They are rugged and manly companions!"
"Child playthings."
"Sophisticated companions."
"Security pals."
At this point Sirius started running in circles like a chicken with it's head cut off yelling, "RUGGED AND MANLY!" knocking chairs and tables over.
"Can you believe them BooBoo Stag?" James said. "Yes, I agree, we -do- need new friends."
~~~~~~~~~~~*******************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~************************~~~ ~~
Lily and Rebecca awoke early the next morning to go see Riley. They went to hospital wing to find Catalina there talking to Riley. "Finally! People who aren't crazy!" Riley exclaimed jumping up.
Rebecca smiled. Lily was the same way when in the hospital wing. Both always insisted they were fine and fully healed though they weren't. The three hugged; Lily suddenly hit Riley's shoulder.
"Don't ever scare us like that again!"
At that precise moment, Poppy came in. "All of you out! Rest and recuperation!"
"But, Poppy!" protested Riley, "I'm fine!"
"And! If we're here, your patient will be happier!" Rebecca added.
"And get better faster!"
"Oh, please let them stay, Madame. They won't go with out making a scene." Catalina said.
Poppy sighed. "Fine! But don't get her riled up!"
"I'll let you girls talk." Catalina walked out of the hospital wing.
The three friends talked for some time and it eventually got around to the previous night. "We heard you say you wanted to end it all.." Lily trailed off. Riley looked uncomfortable.
"Riley. You can't honestly think that any of us would be better off without you!" cried Rebecca almost in tears at the mere thought of losing one of her best friends.
"We're always here for you.you know that. Besides.....when I tried to... you wouldn't let me. You knew things would get better and they did, because of you and Rebecca." Lily said, remembering the extremely painful time she had been through after third year, when everything just got to be too much.
"I know, I know..but I..it's so complicated. But I won't kill myself. You two need me to much."
"We aren't the only ones." Rebecca whispered. They sat in total silence for a while. But all of them felt like it was the best conversation they'd ever had. The group understood each other that well.
"Listen if things ever get that bad again, come to us..or your mom...or hell, even Dumbledore-"
"What about me?" Albus asked mildly as he stepped inside, cutting Lily off.
"Erm..nothing..Professor.."
"Right. Now if you'll excuse me I need to talk to Mrs. Lup- I mean Miss GoldenStar." He said. "It won't take long." Dumbledore added seeing their faces. Reluctantly Rebecca and Lily left.
"Lily, did you hear him say 'Mrs. Lup' then it cut off?"
"Yes. Glad I wasn't imagining things."
"He's up to something."
"I know. But what?" ~~~~~~~~~~******************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********************~~~~~~~~ ~~**
Remus jolted up in his bed; he'd been having a weird dream. It had been about Riley, she had wings. Then it hit him. He was in love with Riley. She was like an angel. He grabbed a quill and some parchment.
^I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'cos I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead ^
This was a really weird new feeling for Remus. He'd never felt like this. Was it always so unexpected? Riley was..wow..and just...he couldn't even begin to describe it. But he couldn't tell her. Riley needed a friend right now, not a boyfriend who happened to be a werewolf, to cause more problems for her.
^ And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead ^
"I can never tell her though." He whispered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*******************~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
Sirius decided to go down to the kitchens and grab some coffee, then bring Riley some, as she was so addicted and would die without it, after he had some time to collect his thoughts. For one, what the hell was with that cat last night? He felt a strange connection to it...and Rebecca....GAH! He needed a prank to clear his mind. Muahahahaaa... "Sonelia Septum Diem!" Padfoot shouted the first thing that came to mind, and set it on the entire school. This was a spell that forced people to say what was on their mind with a song when emotion became almost too much. It lasted for two weeks. The other Marauders were gonna shoot him. It would definitely be worth it. Sirius grinned impishly.
~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~ ~~~
The Great Hall. Breakfast. Emotions were running high. Dumbledore had been thinking about unity, why couldn't they all just get along and live in yellow submarines?! Suddenly he felt himself rise from his chair and open his mouth,
***In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
And our friends are all on board
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
[Full speed ahead, Mr. Parker, full speed ahead!
Full speed over here, sir!
Action station! Action station!
Aye, aye, sir, fire!
Heaven! Heaven!]
As we live a life of ease (A life of ease)
Everyone of us (Everyone of us) has all we need (Has all we need)
Sky of blue (Sky of blue) and sea of green (Sea of green)
In our yellow (In our yellow) submarine (Submarine, ha, ha)
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine***
Albus finished his song and sat down. Everyone was utterly confused. Eyes were darting around suspiciously. What was that? Had Dumbledore cracked, finally? Then it started. A chain reaction of people singing! AH!!! Sirius, however, was cracking up.
"Padfoot, what did you do?"
"Well, Moony, that book you gave me for Christmas last year, I read it and thought a certain spell would make today a bit more interesting."
"We're all gonna die!" exclaimed James and Peter at the same time.
Snape, Malfoy, Avery and Nott (I think JKR said he was in their group thing..) stood up, and they started to sing....
Malfoy: **I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want what we got**
Snape:
**Sometimes you drive me mad
With the things you say and do
You act like we're so bad
Well, i got a message for you
You don't fool anyone
With your jealousy
You want it all and give us none
That ain't the way it's gonna be**
Avery:
**I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want what we got**
Nott:
**Checkmate we named your tune
Don't give me no alibies
We burst your red balloon
Maybe now you realize
When you laugh and put us down
You're tryin' to cover up your fears
Just like a circus clown
It's just a mask, just a mask to hide your tears**
ALL: **I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want what we got
You want it
We got it
We got it
You don't
You want it
We got it
We got it
You won't
You want it
We got it
We got it
You don't
You want it
We got it
We got it
You won't
I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want it
You want what we got
We got it
I know what you want
You want it
You want what we got
You know what i got
I got what they got
You want what i got
They want what we got**
"Take that Gryffindorks!" Malfoy shouted.
"Especially Marauders!" Snape added.
This set their blood a-boiling. Little did Sirius know, he'd cast the spell on himself too. (a/n: heh heh.) The three, yes even mild-tempered Remus stood up. Peter didn't really care, as he was still wallowing in Voldemort's offer. (DIE RAT DIE!.. **looks around** I'm ok. Really...**coughcough**)
James: **OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE**
Remus: **WE'VE GOT THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE AND
THERE AIN'T NO WAY WE'LL LOSE IT
THIS IS OUR LIFE, THIS IS OUR SONG
WE'LL FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE JUST
DON'T PICK OUR DESTINY 'CAUSE
YOU DON'T KNOW US, YOU DON'T BELONG**
All; **OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE**
Sirius: **OH YOU'RE SO CONDESCENDING
YOUR GALL IS NEVER ENDING
WE DON'T WANT NOTHIN', NOT A THING FROM YOU
YOUR LIFE IS TRITE AND JADED
BORING AND CONFISCATED
IF THAT'S YOUR BEST, YOUR BEST WON'T DO**
All; **OH.....................
OH.....................
WE'RE RIGHT/YEAH
WE'RE FREE/YEAH
WE'LL FIGHT/YEAH
YOU'LL SEE/YEAH
OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE
OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE
NO WAY!
OH.....................
OH.....................

WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT, NO!
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE**
Sirius: **JUST YOU TRY AND MAKE US
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
COME ON
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
YOU'RE ALL WORTHLESS AND WEAK
James: **WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE
NOW DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
A PLEDGE PIN**
Remus; **NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
OH YOU ON YOUR UNIFORM
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE**
James, Remus, and Sirius sat down and looked at each other. This was going to be one hell of a long day.

Remus jolted up in his bed; he'd been having a weird dream. It had been about Riley, she had wings. Then it hit him. He was in love with Riley. She was like an angel. He grabbed a quill and some parchment.
^I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'cos I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead ^
This was a really weird new feeling for Remus. He'd never felt like this. Was it always so unexpected? Riley was..wow..and just...he couldn't even begin to describe it. But he couldn't tell her. Riley needed a friend right now, not a boyfriend who happened to be a werewolf, to cause more problems for her.
^ And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead ^
"I can never tell her though." He whispered.

Sirius decided to go down to the kitchens and grab some coffee, then bring Riley some, as she was so addicted and would die without it, after he had some time to collect his thoughts. For one, what the hell was with that cat last night? He felt a strange connection to it...and Rebecca....GAH! He needed a prank to clear his mind. Muahahahaaa... "Sonelia Septum Diem!" Padfoot shouted the first thing that came to mind, and set it on the entire school. This was a spell that forced people to say what was on their mind with a song when emotion became almost too much. It lasted for two weeks. The other Marauders were gonna shoot him. It would definitely be worth it. Sirius grinned impishly.
~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~ ~~~
The Great Hall. Breakfast. Emotions were running high. Dumbledore had been thinking about unity, why couldn't they all just get along and live in yellow submarines?! Suddenly he felt himself rise from his chair and open his mouth,
***In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
And our friends are all on board
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
[Full speed ahead, Mr. Parker, full speed ahead!
Full speed over here, sir!
Action station! Action station!
Aye, aye, sir, fire!
Heaven! Heaven!]
As we live a life of ease (A life of ease)
Everyone of us (Everyone of us) has all we need (Has all we need)
Sky of blue (Sky of blue) and sea of green (Sea of green)
In our yellow (In our yellow) submarine (Submarine, ha, ha)
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine***
Albus finished his song and sat down. Everyone was utterly confused. Eyes were darting around suspiciously. What was that? Had Dumbledore cracked, finally? Then it started. A chain reaction of people singing! AH!!! Sirius, however, was cracking up.
"Padfoot, what did you do?"
"Well, Moony, that book you gave me for Christmas last year, I read it and thought a certain spell would make today a bit more interesting."
"We're all gonna die!" exclaimed James and Peter at the same time.
Snape, Malfoy, Avery and Nott (I think JKR said he was in their group thing..) stood up, and they started to sing....
Malfoy: **I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want what we got**
Snape:
**Sometimes you drive me mad
With the things you say and do
You act like we're so bad
Well, i got a message for you
You don't fool anyone
With your jealousy
You want it all and give us none
That ain't the way it's gonna be**
Avery:
**I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want what we got**
Nott:
**Checkmate we named your tune
Don't give me no alibies
We burst your red balloon
Maybe now you realize
When you laugh and put us down
You're tryin' to cover up your fears
Just like a circus clown
It's just a mask, just a mask to hide your tears**
ALL: **I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want what we got
You want it
We got it
We got it
You don't
You want it
We got it
We got it
You won't
You want it
We got it
We got it
You don't
You want it
We got it
We got it
You won't
I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want it
You want what we got
We got it
I know what you want
You want it
You want what we got
You know what i got
I got what they got
You want what i got
They want what we got**
"Take that Gryffindorks!" Malfoy shouted.
"Especially Marauders!" Snape added.
This set their blood a-boiling. Little did Sirius know, he'd cast the spell on himself too. (a/n: heh heh.) The three, yes even mild-tempered Remus stood up. Peter didn't really care, as he was still wallowing in Voldemort's offer. (DIE RAT DIE!.. **looks around** I'm ok. Really...**coughcough**)
James: **OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE**
Remus: **WE'VE GOT THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE AND
THERE AIN'T NO WAY WE'LL LOSE IT
THIS IS OUR LIFE, THIS IS OUR SONG
WE'LL FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE JUST
DON'T PICK OUR DESTINY 'CAUSE
YOU DON'T KNOW US, YOU DON'T BELONG**
All; **OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE**
Sirius: **OH YOU'RE SO CONDESCENDING
YOUR GALL IS NEVER ENDING
WE DON'T WANT NOTHIN', NOT A THING FROM YOU
YOUR LIFE IS TRITE AND JADED
BORING AND CONFISCATED
IF THAT'S YOUR BEST, YOUR BEST WON'T DO**
All; **OH.....................
OH.....................
WE'RE RIGHT/YEAH
WE'RE FREE/YEAH
WE'LL FIGHT/YEAH
YOU'LL SEE/YEAH
OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE
OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE
NO WAY!
OH.....................
OH.....................
WE'RE RIGHT/YEAH
WE'RE FREE/YEAH
WE'LL FIGHT/YEAH
YOU'LL SEE/YEAH
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT, NO!
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE**
Sirius: **JUST YOU TRY AND MAKE US
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
COME ON
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
YOU'RE ALL WORTHLESS AND WEAK
James: **WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE
NOW DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
A PLEDGE PIN**
Remus; **NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
OH YOU ON YOUR UNIFORM
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE**
James, Remus, and Sirius sat down and looked at each other. This was going to be one hell of a long day.
