Disclaimer: Grrr... fine. Here it is: It's JK Rowling's. NOT MINE. And an oops from Chapter 4: The Lillix and Kimberly Locke songs are in this chapter, not that one. Sorry if there was any confusion!
Secrets Revealed!
Lily decided to go downstairs to the fridge in their mini-common room. Singing part of Lillix's "It's About Time", she grabbed 5 bottles of butterbeer, and turned to go back to her room.
"I hate you, I love youI just can't remember to
Forget you
Who are you, who needs you
You make me feel alive--- Aaahh!"
Lily had turned around to find herself face-to-face with James; Remus and Sirius following behind him.
"Sorry- I didn't mean to-"started James.
"Sorry- I didn't see you, you just startled me!" said Lily, interrupting him.
"It's okay. What're you doing up so late?" he asked.
"Umm... getting some butterbeers for my friends," said Lily.
"Oh, okay. Can we join you? We've got nothing better to do," said James quickly.
"Uh... sure!" said Lily. They trooped up the stairs to Lily's room, where Lexie was doing a rater crazy rendition of Lillix's "Dirty Sunshine."
"You hit meIt all turns to sunshine, dirty sun...shine... Lil, what are they doing here?" asked Lexie, shooting the boys a glare.
"They're here to be the audience for your performance, Lex," said Lily.
"Oh, okay! Well in that case, take a seat!" said Ana.
"C'mon Lils, let's do Wrong!" said Leah.
"Umm...that's alright," said Lily.
"C'mon!" said Leah, pulling Lily up with her. Amelia found the song, and Leah and Lily launched into the song by Kimberly Locke.
"...I don't run and I don't hide
Behind a comforting disguise
What you see is what you get
I was so naïve to let you have control of me
But now that I believe in me I know
That you're wrong cause I'm strong
Unafraid
I'm moving on
Cause I'm free to be me
Nobody tells me who to be!"Now Lily wasn't normally shy, nor was she outgoing. But maybe it was the 6 butterbeers she'd had at Purple Stars that made her decide not to care who she was performing in front of. Had she been sober, she never would have gotten on stage earlier in Hogsmeade, let alone in front of the Marauders.
All three Marauders were in awe, but none more so that James. His mouth was hanging wide open, and you could see it all over his face how much he liked Lily. However, only Remus and Amelia noticed his state of shock. They looked from James to Lily, then at one another. Amelia sent Remus a look that clearly said, "He likes her, doesn't he?" Remus nodded, and they shared a smile together. When they were finished with their next song, Amelia said,
"Well, Remus, c'mon- lets go get some more to drink." They left the room, and when they got downstairs, Amelia pulled Remus down on the couch next to her and said,
"He likes her!"
"Yeah...so?"
"Well, they'd be perfect together!"
"Oh no- I'm not getting involved!"
"Oh...but I forgot... Lily's anti-boys now..."
"Why?"
"Well... last year, she dated Chris MacNair..."
"What happened?"
"Well... don't tell her I told you, but... she really liked him. And we all thought that he liked her too. So, last winter, he pressured to sneak up to his dorm one night... and she went... and they, well, erm, you know..." Remus nodded solemly.
"And then, right the next morning, he dumped her. It was awful." Remus looked horrified.
"Wow. I always thought he was rather shallow... so now she's against guys?"
"Yup. She vowed, right there and then, and I quote, 'All members of the male race are f-ing assholes, and they can burn in Hell! I'd rather be single for the rest of my life, anyways!'"
"But we're not all that shallow! Even Sirius would never have done that, and you know how he is." Sirius had a different girlfriend every week, and bragged about his snogging experience every chance he got.
"Yeah... so we need to change her mind!" exclaimed Amelia.
"How?"
"By showing her that James'd never do something like that to her... but how?" she said slowly.
"I dunno... but I'm too tired to think straight right now," said Remus.
"Yeah, me too."
"We's better get back upstairs."
"Yeah. Let's go."
:Back Upstairs:
"What took you so long?" asked Ana, who was sitting next to Sirius, and not noticing that he was scooting closer to her every few seconds. Lily yawned and said,
"Kay. Now can I go to sleep?"
"Sure. Nut can we stay?" asked Sirius.
"Mmm... yeah, I guess," said Lily, as she did a quick charm so that her bed was big enough for two. There were also three- two person sleeping bags lying on the floor.
"I get the bed!" said Lily. "Who wants to share?" Amelia and Remus grabbed a bag so they could talk, Leah and Lexie grabbed one too.
"I'm not sleeping with James- he snores!"
"I do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Enough!" said Lily, climbing into her bed. Ana was already in the last sleeping bag.
"Argh... come on one of you," said Lily, spotting Ana fast asleep. Sirius promptly climbed in with Ana, and James looked hesitantly at Lily.
"Come on," said Lily angrily. James crawled into her bed, and soon after, fell asleep.
