Alright, I don't own Harry Potter, heffulumps and woozles, The Sound of
Music, Animal Crackers in my Soup, Shirley Temple, Beethoven, Fur Elise,
the Monkees, I'm a Believer, Shake, rattle, and roll, Lonely Teardrops,
Hound Dog, Chocolat, You Can't Hurry Love, Adventures in Babysitting, or
anything else that I didn't come up with! (Duh!) This is one of my
favourite chapters, as it contains one of my favourite songs. I hope you
like it as much as I do!

That night the 10 friends had a get-together in the girl's dormitory, as it was the cleaner of the two rooms. At their once a month parties they all got in their pyjamas, played games and hung out.
Lily chose her favourite p.j.s-flannel with little blue bows and pink flowers. Unlike Cooper and Monica who both got in their newest, most expensive, and sexiest clothes, she went for comfort! But she was glad Cooper and Monica wore their p.j.s. It was always funny to see Sirius get tongue-tied like he'd seen heffulumps and woozles.
After a rousing "Or face the consequence" game (in which they found out Lily had both a pig and a dog for pets) they decided to sing some karaoke! But with a twist! Everyone else decided what song you were going to sing, and what you were going to wear.
Cooper had to sing "I am 16 going on 17" from the musical "The Sound of Music" while she ran around the circular room jumping from bed to bed.
Suzie had to sing "Animal Crackers in My Soup" like Shirley Temple while tap dancing in a very short pink, puffy dress. The boys particularly enjoyed her performance.
Venus was forced to wear a wig and pretend to be Beethoven while playing Fur Elise.
Serena and Remus sang a duet-Happy Birthday. And to everyone's dismay, in their birthday suits. Well, nearly. A few well-placed leaves made their performance PG-13 rated.
Sirius was Davy from the Monkees and sang "I'm a Believer" while tapping a tambourine on his hip.
Monica sang "Shake Rattle and Roll" in a chef's hat and apron.
Peter sang a hilarious rendition of "Lonely Teardrops" in which he danced around the room with a pillow.
And James sang the great Elvis classic "Hound Dog" (Think: priest in Chocolat) He was actually really good. Last was Lily. She sang.

I need love, love
To ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But mama said
You can't hurry love.

Lily began by grabbing her hairbrush and using it as a microphone. She shook her hips exaggeratedly to the music and sand passionately. Her singing in general was only so-so, but this was particularly good. After a bit, Lily got too passionate for the rug they declared the stage, and hopped on her bed throwing down the hairbrush, now using a post from her bed for a microphone (think Adventures in Babysitting, Chris Columbus's second-best picture)

But how many heartaches
Must I stand before I find a love
To let me live again
Right now the only thing
That keeps me hangin' on
When I feel my strength, yeah
It's almost gone
I remember mama said:
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
How long must I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart
Heart to break?
No I can't bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
These precious words keeps me hangin' on
I remember mama said:
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
No, love, love, don't come easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms
To hold me tight
I keep waiting
I keep on waiting
But it ain't easy
It ain't easy
But mama said:
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
You can't hurry love.

Everyone was shocked by Lily's soulful rendition the classic. The prominent thought was "Where did Lily learn to sing like that?" James, however, was thinking something a little different...
