Heh, thankies to my reviewers. I almost forgot to mention you.
"There" Less smirked, on the final day of the preparation. The girls sat in Lily and Kim's dorm room, which was currently empty of it's other two inhabitants. "It's nearly done. All we have to do is speak the words of the incantation then it is done. We'll have gotten out revenge"
With much excitement the words were spoken, the three witches speaking as one, their voices no more than purposeful whispers that were almost lost into the night. When the last word was spoken, they laughed. It was done. Now the fun was about to begin!
(The next day…)
Lily awoke to the sound of Kim's snoring, as she did every other morning. As per usual, the fiery redhead picked up her pillow and launched it with some force at the sleeping blonde. This did not have the desired effect, but at least the pillow muffled the loud snores that Lily had endured for many years.
Getting out of bed, Lily quickly dressed in her school robes and trailed down the dormitory steps until she reached the Common Room. She glanced around at the various people. Everything seemed normal, but it was only 7am after all.
"Oi, Evans" came the annoying sound of James 'arrogant' Potter. Lily, instead of being annoyed, turned to him with a secretive smile.
"Yes, Potter?" she replied, knowing what was going to happen very soon. Something that was going to annoy James no end.
"Not off defending Snivelous yet?" he smirked. Usually, Lily would have wanted to crucify him for this comment, but not that day. No.
"Why should I, the arrogant git that bullies him is right here" she smirked, turning her back on him "I'd be careful for the next week Potter, if I were you. Everyone in this school that has an opinion is going to get their voices heard, whether you like it or not"
"You need to be careful who you call arrogant, Evans"
"And why is that?" she responded slyly.
"Because people might see you as a bitch" came the sound of another voice. She turned her gaze to see Sirius trailing down the stairs with a face that showed he was in an argumentative mood
"Who do you think you're calling?" Kim's voice came from the bottom of the dormitory stairs. She looked at Lily and smirked.
"Can you feel that?" Lily asked. Inside she was bursting to sing. The spell had started!
"Yes. Boys, let us introduce you to the True Voice Spell" Kim chuckled as she heard music begin to play from nowhere. With no plan in mind, Lily opened her mouth and began to sing in tune, while the two boys listened in awe.
"So, what am I not supposed to have an opinion?
Should I keep quiet just because I'm a woman?
Call me a bitch cause I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled"
Lily smirked as she allowed her voice to soar. She had been waiting a long time to get this off her mind. Her voice was clear, strong and powerful.
Then it was Kim's turn. She face Sirius with a sarcastic little smile as she too sang.
"When a female fires back
Suddenly the target don't know how to act
So he does what any little boy would do
Makin' up a few false rumors or two
That for sure is not a man to me, slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say"
James and Sirius were lost for words, and yet their faces said everything. They were shocked, in awe and livid at what the girls were singing.
Lily and Kim, of course, were loving it.
"This is for my girls all around the world" Lily and Kim sang together, their voices mixing to become a powerful sound.
"Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout louder
Lettin 'em know we're gonna stand our ground
So lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will
Can't hold us down"
James opened his mouth to speak but Lily shook her head and sang to silence him.
"So What am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended with the message I'm bringin'
Call me whatever 'cause your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing"
The two girls laughed as they sang alternate lines.
"If you look back in history it's a common double standard of society" Kim sang in a disgusted tone.
Rolling her eyes once, Lily sang "The guy gets all the glory the more he can score"
"While the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore" Kim's response came quick and harsh.
Lily frowned and turned to the boys "I don't understand why it's OK,"
"The guy can get away with it the girl gets named" Kim sighed after she had sung her line.
"All my ladies come together and make it change
And start a new beginning for us, everybody sing" They sang this part together.
As was the magic of their spell, most girls in that common room, if not all of them, sang their chorus together. United.
"This is for my girls all around the world
Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth
Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard
So what do we do girls, shout louder
Lettin 'em know we're gonna stand our ground
So lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will
Can't hold us down!"
The music ended and so did the singing, leaving everyone who did not understand what had just happened in complete shock.
