The Reason

by LivKnightley

I think The Reason by Hoobastank is a pretty fitting song for a LilyJames fic, don't you? Focuses mainly on Lily and James from sixth year up til their deaths. My first attempt, please read and review!

CHAPTER FOUR

It was late at night, and everyone at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was sound asleep in their dormitories.

Well, almost everyone.

"Wormtail, are you sure it's steady?"

"Steady as it'll ever be, you can go ahead and let go now."

"Okay, it's done. How long does this last again, Moony?"

"It stays in effect until lunch tomorrow, Prongs, I've told you four times."

"Just making sure we didn't screw it up, that's all."

"Since when do we screw up pranks, Prongs? Can I please start the victory dance now?"

"Knock yourself out, Padfoot."

The moon had seen many a strange sight at Hogwarts, but none so strange as what it was witnessing now. Four boys stood on the edge of the lake, one doing a very enthusiastic Electric Slide, as the giant squid swam lazily away from the cluster of sleeping students on mattresses at the center of the lake.
