Disclaimer: If I were to show my picture to you, you would notice that I don't look anything remotely like J.K. Rowling, so I definitely don't own Harry Potter.
I'm totally bored out of my mind at my house. I probably should be working on my Lit project, which is due...Monday, but I can always do that tomorrow! Lol. I'm a procrastinator I know. Soooooooo instead of working on my lit project I will write part of the next chapter!! Have I mentioned that I absolutely adore my reviewers!! You guys are the greatest!!!
Chelles: Ya know? I read your bio and it says you're a Spanish teacher! You are probably the coolest Spanish teacher ever! When I think of my Spanish teacher I'm like okay...she would never be into Harry Potter and Chelles is the greatest!! Lol. I have to make sure that the boys meet Hagrid too. I'll put that in somewhere along the line. Ya know, Melissa is my favorite character!! I wonder why ;). Lol. The boys...what can I say about them! I love that "their first detentions, but definitely not their last!" That's so funny! I need as much computer time as I can get! Thanks for reviewing!
peachfreack: Welcome!! Thank you! Ginny/Harry are cute too. Thanks!
Sena: I love new reviewers! Welcome to my humble abode. Lol. Don't worry about spelling, my best friend can't spell for her life. Lol. If you love my story I love you!! Lol. I try to update whenever I can get computer time which, with my little sister always kicking me off, is hard. And no one can talk as much as me so you can talk about whatever you want in your reviews. Thanks for reviewing!!
Miss Lady Padfoot: Hiya! Gosh I love compliments! Thanks soooo much. Omg my story is definitely not that best story!! If you want awesome writing take a look at my Favorite Stories. Now those people know how to write!! Anyway...I would love to ask Lily Evans except for the fact that she's...well dead! Lol. And then of course I would love to ask JK Rowling, along with asking her why the heck she killed off my favorite character! Also I would ask Santa Claus but well he's up at the North Pole and I'm broke and don't have enough money to go visit him. And I'm not that smart! Lol. Thanks a bunch for reviewing!!
Queen of Zan: Thanks!!
JKR: Lol. Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Note: This next chapter is going to be a little weird. Whatever you think about it it's not going to be a religious statement. I was just thinking that most muggles would have a religion and what would happen if they went to Hogwarts. I know that my parents would be like 'you still have to go to church' and whatnot. Anyway that's just a small part of the next chapter but I thought I'd give you a heads up. Enjoy and remember to review!!
Chapter 9: Church and the Beatles
"Wait, so where are you going again?" James asked confused. It was Sunday morning and he and the boys had woken up late, due to the detention they'd served the night before. Professor McGonagall had made the four of them write lines from 9 to 11 and then to make sure that they didn't get into anymore trouble, she walked them back to the Common Room. Seeing as no one else was in the Common Room the boys had headed up to bed. Unfortunately, the boys had woken up late and missed almost all of breakfast. None of the girls were found in the Great Hall and so it was a surprise to find them in the Common Room, Lily and Melissa all dressed up. When the boys asked why they were dressed up they started to explain but James wasn't really listening.
"We just told you. We're going to church," Lily said slowly as if talking to a little child.
"What's church?" Sirius asked.
"It's a muggle thing," Melissa answered, not bothering to explain. "Would one of you guys go and get my brother. We're going to be late."
Remus offered to go. James was still confused. "Where's this church you're going to?"
"It's in Hogsmeade," Lily replied. She started pacing and checking her watch.
"How is it in Hogsmeade?" Peter inquired. "Hogsmeade is a magical town and you just said it's a muggle thing."
"Okay, so I was lying. It's a Christian thing," Melissa snapped, glancing at the boys' staircase anxiously. Adam came hurrying down the staircase also dressed in nice clothes. Melissa and Lily rushed over to him. "Honestly Adam, Professor Dumbledore said the carriage would leave at ten to nine and it's now," Melissa paused to glace at her watch, "8:48."
"I know, I know. I slept late. Sorry," Adam apologized. "Let's just get out of here. We have to catch that carriage or Mum'll have our heads."
Lily, Melissa, and Adam said a quick good-bye to all of them before rushing out of the portrait hole. James and the others sat down on a couple couches in a daze. "Can anyone tell me why they're going to church?"
"Apparently their mothers are making them," Shannon responded. "They don't want school to get in the way of their religion."
"What's a church?" Sirius asked again, absentmindedly scratching his forehead.
Remus answered this time. "It's a building where people go to pray and where mass is held." Seeing James about to ask another question Remus said, "And mass is a sort of ceremony that's held every Sunday."
James nodded and the questions ceased for a bit. James looked around the common room at his fellow Gryffindors. Most people were doing homework, or just hanging around playing games like chess of Gobstones. He looked towards his friends. Kelly and Shannon were looking at a magazine, giggling. Remus had taken a book out titled Curses, Hexes, and Charms, Oh My! and had started reading. Peter was munching on something he'd brought back from breakfast and next to him, Sirius was sprawled on the couch looking thoroughly uninterested. Sirius caught his eye and voiced how James was feeling.
"I'm bored," he declared.
"Me too," James decided.
Shannon looked up. "Did either of you finish your homework?" she queried.
Sirius and James exchanged a look. "We had homework?" Sirius asked innocently.
Shannon rolled her eyes at them and returned to her magazine. Sirius looked insulted. "What'd I say?"
"Come on. Let's go do our homework," James said, dragging a complaining Sirius up the stairs to get his supplies.
"So we did have homework?"
James ignored him.
*****************************
The rest of the day went by pretty quickly. James and Sirius finished their homework while their friends lazed around. Lily and Melissa came back about an hour later and decided to write letters to their parents. Remus and Peter started to play a game of wizard's chess, which seemed to make Lily and Melissa uneasy. James watched them amusedly.
"Why does it have to be so violent?" Melissa questioned, watching wide eyed as the queen plunged her sword into one of the rooks.
"That's the great part," Peter answered. He looked at her inquisitively. "Why? It doesn't do this in the muggle world."
"It most certainly does not," she retorted. "Chess pieces don't move in the muggle world."
"And they don't shout insults at you," Lily added, listening to Remus's knight call him a "scurvy knave".
"Well there's no fun in that," Remus said grinning at her.
Melissa wrinkled her nose and Lily sighed. A cry went up from Shannon and Kelly who were still poring over magazines. "What is it?" Lily asked. Speechless they motioned her and Lily over. Wordlessly Shannon held up a picture of some guy. From where James was sitting he couldn't tell who it was. Whoever it was the girls sure must have liked him for they started shrieking excitedly, causing people around the common room to stare at them.
"What are you girls blubbering over," Sirius called to them.
Bubbling with enthusiasm, the girls rushed over to their table. Lily held out a picture off four men dressed in black suits and holding instruments. James was stumped. "Who are these guys?"
The girls' faces registered ultimate shock. Sirius caught James' eye and they both shrugged. Kelly looked stupefied. "Pardon me? I think we all heard wrong. Did you just say you don't know who they are?"
They both nodded somewhat annoyed. The girls all gaped at them in disbelief. "They are just the cutest most desirable blokes belonging to the most smashing band in the muggle and magic world alike," Melissa explained breathlessly.
"Well do the 'cutest and most desirable men' have name?" Sirius scowled, not liking the attention the girls were showering on the four men.
"John, Paul, George, and Ringo!" The girls all recited together. (A/N: Okay people I know that this story is supposed to take place in the 70's, and the Beatles broke up in 1970 but lets pretend that this story take place in the 60's. Like say...1966)
"Right. And what's the name of 'the most smashing band in the muggle and magic world alike'?" James drawled.
"The Beatles," they chorused, sighing with dreamy expressions of their faces.
"And what's so special about these Beatles?" Sirius squinted at them.
They gawked at him like he'd grown another head. "What's so special about them?" Kelly echoed. "Have you looked at the picture? They're all bloody gorgeous!"
"Kelly, language!" Lily hissed. She turned back to the boys. "But be serious--,"
"Ah, on the contrary, I am Sirius," Sirius said smugly.
James hit him on the back of the head. "I told you to stop using that joke ages ago. It's not even funny anymore."
"Really? 'Cause I thought it was quite funny," Sirius laughed at his own joke, not caring that no one else was laughing.
His friends gave him a strange look. "Anyway," Shannon began. "The Beatles are the best band in the world and they're the hottest blokes in the world. End of story. Of course George is the cutest."
A cry of outrage went up from the girls. "Yeah right. Everyone knows John cuter that George," Lily told her matter-a-factually.
"And anyone who's anyone knows that Paul is way cuter than both of them," Melissa informed.
"Well what about the other bloke? Ringo?" Remus asked joining the conversation.
"Ringo!?" the girls chorused in disbelief.
"With that nose? I think not," Kelly said scrunching up her own nose.
The boys exchanged looks that the girls seemed not to notice, as they were arguing about which Beatle was cuter. James sighed in exasperation and started to continue his homework. Sirius looked at them incredulously one last time before turning back to his homework. James heard him mutter, "Girls," under his breath and agreed with him at once. Girls were crazy in James' opinion.
