Chapter Five: Oh, Get A Grip

"I dedicate this song to- well, if they don't guess, I will have been very surprised!" and began to sing…

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Ginny and Hermione stared at Lily for a minute before joining in whole heartedly.

You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

"Well," the elder Remus stated, "I certainly know who she's singing about." Tonks nodded agreement as another light bulb went on above Ron's head, "Hey, this was so obvious, even I know she's singing about-" "MEEEE!" James burst out happily, "And did you here that before; she said she liked me!" The younger, much more smart-alecky Remus grinned wickedly, "You do realize that she said several years ago, Prongs?" James' face fell as Sirius began to laugh maniacally…

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Lily and the other girls finished with a bang- literally. Just as they sang the last note, Draco fell down the stairs, screaming like a girl as he added to his collection of bruises. Harry had still not come back from where ever he had chosen to throw his extremely noble hissy fit and Ginny slyly glanced around the room. Lily noticed first and murmured to Hermione, "I think somebody is about to proclaim her devotion to a certain someone. Where is someone!" Hermione grinned, understanding Lily perfectly and too of to go find Harry, leaving a wide arc around Ron who looked slightly dubious as his younger sister began to sing about the man she dreamed of…

A simple choice, nothing more
This or that, either or
Marry well, social whirl, business man, clever girl
Or pin my future on a green glass love
What kind of life am I dreaming of?

I say gimme, gimme that thing called love
I want it
Gimme, gimme that thing called love
I need it
Highs and lows, tears and laughter
Gimme happy ever after
Gimme, gimme that thing called love

Ginny's delicate voice filled the hall as she closed her eyes with feeling. Ron was starting to look slightly queasy- the Marauders pointed and laughed at him.

Gimme, gimme that thing called love
I crave it
Gimme, gimme that thing called love
I'll brave it
Thick 'n thin, rich or poor time
Gimme years and I'll want more time
Gimme, gimme that thing called love

Gimme, gimme that thing called love
I'm free now
Gimme, gimme that thing called love
I see now
Fly, dove! Sing, sparrow!
Gimme Cupid's famous arrow
Gimme, gimme that thing called love

I don't care if he's a nobody
In my heart he'll be a somebody
Somebody to love me!

"You GO girl!" random female characters cheered as Ginny twirled through the hall, her long red hair flying out behind her in a glorious cascade. It seemed that Ginny had about the same effect as Fleur on many of the male students. Some were muttering angrily to themselves about stupid, noble people that had escaped dark wizards while James whacked the slightly drooling Sirius on the back of the head, "Oh, get a grip!"

Sirius glared at him, rubbing his head, "I'm surprised you're not in a puddle on the floor- she's just like Lily!" James blushed and muttered quietly to his friend, "No- she isn't… no one is." He never noticed that Lily, standing directly behind him had begun to blush furiously as he continued his conversation with Sirius, a dreamy cast on his face, "Lily, my flower- but she's not a lily. Lilies are calm and cool and elegant. No, my Lily is a rose- roses have thorns and wild beauty. They're statuesque and graceful, with the bearing of royalty! That's my Lily: fierce and passionate and untouchable…"

I need it
Gimme, gimme that thing called love
I want it
Here I am, St. Valentine
My bags are packed, I'm first in line
Aphrodite, don't forget me
Romeo and Juliet me
Fly, dove! Sing, sparrow!
Gimme fat boy's famous arrow
Gimme, gimme that thing called love

As Ginny belted out her last note, she whirled a little too much and tripped… right into Harry's arms. Forgetting everything he had told her and all the people surrounding them, she just grabbed him and kissed him rather passionately. A little too passionately for Ron who was rocking back and forth, eyes tightly shut as he murmured, "Find a happy place, find a happy place!" Hermione just giggled as the Marauders watched enviously- well, most of the Marauders.

"OH MY GAWD!" Sirius and Remus the younger shrieked slack jawed, "He's not…? Is she…?" They promptly fainted as everybody- except Ginny and Harry who were rather busy- turned to see: Lily Evans, proclaimed "Potter loather" and James Potter, proclaimed "Evans Obsessee," making out! Tonks answered the unspoken thought, "Well, that was lucky."

James and Lily parted slowly, both of them rather dazed. By now, Remus and Sirius had woken up and were high fiving each other, "YES! Finally, we won't have to listen to prongs whine about why she won't go out with him anymore!" James grinned broadly and even Lily smiled as the entire clapped. Suddenly, the young man began to sing again, quickly joined by most of the other boys in the room as they spoke of their own loves/crushes/obsessions/sisters- just kidding!

She's cold and she's cruel
But she knows what she's doin'
She pushed me in the pool
At our last school reunion
She laughs at my dreams
But I dream about her laughter
Strange as it seems
She's the one I'm after

Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm looking for

Even Harry was now singing, Ginny laughing in the circle of his arms. The hall rebounded with the somewhat off key tune as even the Weasley twins joined in, waving their wands and causing thousands of conveniently hidden fireworks to burst into giant hearts!

She can't keep a secret
For more than an hour
She runs on one hundred proof attitude power
And the more she ignores me
The more I adore her
What can I do
I'd do anything for her

The way she sees it's me
On her caller I.D.
She won't pick up the phone
She'd rather be alone
But I can't give up just yet
Cause every word she's ever said
Still ringing in my head
Still ringing in my head

"What's caller I.D.? And what's a phone? And why would anyone ever actually not pick up on me?" Sirius asked the elder Remus over the noise as he held Tonks' hands, "Shut up Sirius…"

She's cold and she's cruel
But she knows what she's doin'
Knows just what to say
So my whole day is ruined

Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
Oh, I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm looking for

Just the girl I'm looking for
I'm looking for
I'm looking for
I'm looking for
Just the girl I'm looking for

Ron looked pointedly at Hermione but she never noticed, being to busy glaring at Lavender Brown. As the song ended and the various students/teachers/random characters all began to make out with each other, Ron jumped on a table, knocking a bowl of flaming chili onto Draco's head. As the Slytherin stumbled around the hall, his screams muffled by the extremely thick chili, Ron started his song.

A/N: This was fun to write and I hope you all like it! I tried to make it longer and maybe even more AU, but oh well. The next chapter should be fun too! By the way, the only reason I updated so fast was I got some many beautiful reviews in such a short time- remember: reviews for stories/chapters. Well, see ya'll later!
