Thank you everyone for the reviews. I was so happy to come home and see SEVEN new reviews. Thank you. Keep it up.
Lily and James hurried into the Great Hall and stopped suddenly because there in front of them dancing was McGonagoll and Dumbledore.
"Oh, horrible image," cried Lily
"Oh god, come on, there they are," said James
They turned and headed in the opposite direction towards their table just as the next song started up.
On a dark desert
highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitis
Rising
up through the air
Lily leaned over and whispered in James' ear, "I love this song."
Up ahead in the
distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my
sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
"You love every song though," replied James
There she stood in
the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to
myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
"Do I?"
Then she lit up a
candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the
corridor
I thought I heard them say
"Yes you do."
Welcome to the
Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
"Do you see Steph and Sirius?" asked James
Plenty of room at
the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year
You
can find it here
"No, I don't," replied Lily
Her mind is
Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot
of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
"There they are, over there," said James and he and Lily headed over to them.
How they dance in
the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some
dance to forget
"Wait," said James
So I called up the
Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said
We haven't had
that spirit here since 1969
"What," said Lily
And still those
voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the
night
Just to hear them say
"Well first they just said 1969, great year that was, I got my first broom," said James
Welcome to the
Hotel California
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely Place
Such
a lovely face
"Men," said Lily and she turned to walk over to Steph and Sirius
They're livin' it up
at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice
surprise
Bring your alibis
"Wait, we need to have a plan," said James
Mirrors on the
ceiling
Pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all
just prisoners here
Of our own device
"And let me guess, you have one," said Lily
And in the master's
chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their
steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
"Rightieo," said James
Last thing I
remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage
back to the place I was before
"Well then what is it," asked Lily
Relax said the
nightman
We are programmed to receive
You can check out any
time you like
But you can never leave
"Come here," said James
Lily walked over to him and he whispered in her ear.
"Sound good to me," said Lily
"Good," said James, "Then-," but he was cut off Leo the singer talk to the crowd.
"So is everyone having a good night?" screamed Leo
"Yeah," cried all of the Seventh Years
"Good, well the next song is called Bye Bye Miss American Bye, enjoy," said Leo and then he started to sing
A long, long
time ago... I can still remember how
that music used to make me
smile.
And I knew if I had my chance,
That I could make those
people dance,
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
"Ah, not this song, do you know how much I hate it," said Lily
But February
made me shiver,
With every paper I'd deliver,
Bad news on the
doorstep...
I couldn't take one more step.
"You hate it, it's a good song," said James
I can't remember
if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something
touched me deep inside,
The day the music died.
"Well it's a good song but it gets stuck in your head," said Lily
Soo..Bye,
bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee
was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing
this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die
"That's why I like it," said James
Did you write
the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the
Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock n roll
Can music save
your mortal soul
Then you can teach me to dance real slow
"What's the point of it going quiet and then loud?" asked Lily
Well I know that
you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You
both kicked off your shoes
Then I dig those rhythm and blues
"Well I suppose it is to liven up the song," said James
I was a lonely
teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
but
I knew that I was out of luck
The day the music died
"I guess you're right," said Lily
I started singin'...
Bye,
bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee
was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing
this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die
"Who's right about what," screamed Sirius
Now
for 10 years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling
stone
But that's not how it used to be
"Shhh, Sirius, no need to be so loud," said Steph
When
the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from
James Dean
In a voice that came from you and me
"I have to though, the song is loud," cried Sirius
And while
the King was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The
courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
"I give up," said Steph
While Lennon
read the book of Marx
The quartet kept practice in the park
And
we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
"So Steph," Lily said in her most innocent voice
We were singin'
Bye,
bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee
was dry
and good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing
this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die
"I think I hear Sirius calling me," said Steph and she turned and ran towards Sirius who was trying to climb up on the table
Helter Skelter
in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with the fallout
shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
"Why is Sirius up on the table?" asked Lily
It landed foul
on the grass
the players tried for a forward pass
With the
jester on the sidelines in a cast
"Oh, I think he spiked the pumpkin juice," said James
Now the halftime
air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We
all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
"But why isn't anyone else climbing on tables?" asked Lily
'Cause the
players tried to take the field,
The marching band refused to
yield.
"Oh, didn't I tell you," said James
Do you recall
what was revealed,
The day the music died?
We started singing
"Tell me what?"
Bye,
bye miss American Pie
drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee
was dry
and good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing
this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die
"Oh, whenever Sirius spikes something he always has a flask of whatever it is, usually vodka and he always takes a large swig before and after," said James
There
we were all in one place
A generation lost in space With no time
left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack
Flash sat on a candle stick
'Cause fire is the devil's only
friend.
"Ah, that explains it," said Lily
As I watched him
on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel
born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell
"Do you remember that dance we had last year?" asked James
And as flames
climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I
saw Satan laughing with delight
the day the music died.
"No, why?" asked Lily
Bye, bye miss
American Pie
drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
and
good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing this will be
the day that I die
this will be the day that I die
"You don't remember anything?"
I met a girl who
sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she
just smiled and turned away
"No, why?" asked Lily
I went down to
the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the
man there said the music wouldn't play
"Well let's just say Sirius used a tad to much last year and-."
And in the
streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets
dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were
broken
"Oh, no, I didn't," said Lily
And the three
men I admire most
The Father Son and Holy Ghost
They caught the
last train for the coast
The day the music died
"Yup, you did," said James
They were singin'
Bye,
bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee
was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing
this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die
"I can't believe I did," said Lily
"Well you should, because you did," said James
"I'm going to kill Sirius," cried Lily and she reached into her pocket for her wand, but James with his Quidditch reflexes grabbed her arm before she could grab her wand.
"Not now," said James
"And why not?" cried Lily
"If you are going to at least wait until he is sober so he remembers it and it actually does something. If you do it now he won't remember it tomorrow," said James
"Fine, fine, but you promise me one thing," said Lily
"Anything, what?" said James
"Anything, hmmm," said Lily
"Well not anything," said James
"Not anything then, fine you won't stop me tomorrow?" said Lily
"Stop you, I might even help you," said James
"Good, I might need some backup," said Lily
James just laughed
"Get him in the morning when he is asleep," whispered someone
Lily spun around and said, "Oh, Remus you scared me."
"Sorry Lily, so why are you going to kill Sirius?" asked Remus
"Oh, just because he got me so drunk last year that I can't even remember it," said Lily
"Was that the dance last year that we had on Valentines Day?" asked Remus
"That would be it," said James
"You should have seen yourself," said Remus
"I would prefer to not," said Lily
"I think you would have liked to," said Sandra
"What did I do?" said Lily
"Maybe we shouldn't tell her," said Sandra
"No I don't think we should," said Remus
"Please, I need to know," cried Lily
"Weeeellllll," said Remus
"Fine, I'll tell you," said James
"Okay so what happened?" asked Lily
"Well you kinda climbed up on the table and started to-," said James
"Well you-," started Remus
"You-," said Sandra
"She went and started to dance like a hooker and started to pull her shirt off until McGonagoll came over and sent her to bed," screamed Sirius from up on top of the table which Stephanie was still trying to coax him down from
"Thank you Sirius," muttered James
"Oh, god, I didn't," cried Lily
"Sorry to say, but you did," said Sandra
"Did anybody else?" asked Lily
"No," said Remus
"But if Sirius spiked the pumpkin juice than why wasn't everyone drunk then?" asked Lily
"Well," said James
"Sirius only spiked your drink Lily," said Remus
"Why?" cried Lily
"He thought if you were drunk you would admit to liking James and you would go out with him, but his plan backfired because you thought James spiked it to try to get you to go out with him and you wouldn't talk to him for a month," said Remus
"I remember that now. I am going to kill that little Son of a B-," said Lily but she was cut off by McGonagoll coming over and saying
"Mr. Potter, Lupin do you think you could help me get Mr. Black down from the table and get him to bed?"
"Ah, sure Professor," said Remus
"Thanks Mr. Lupin," said McGonagoll and they headed over towards Sirius
"Looks familiar," muttered Remus to James
"Sure does," said James
James walked up to Sirius and said, "Sirius, it's time to come down from there," but Sirius didn't move he was still dancing around with his top on though.
"Fine your going to make me do something I really don't want to do," said James, "Sirius if you don't come down I am going to send you back to your mother and you will not be able to come over and escape from her. You will have to stay with her forever in that house, so you better come down NOW."
At the mention of having to go back to stay with his mother Sirius leapt down from the table and promptly passed out just as the next song was starting after the little break. (A/N Bold is guy italic is girl Bold italic is both normal is backup)
Don't go breaking my
heart
I couldn't if I tried
Ah, Honey, if I get
restless
Baby, you're not that kind
"Now this is a good song," said Lily
Don't go breaking my
heart
You take the weight off of me
Ah, Honey,
when you knock on my door
Ooh, I gave you my key
"You like this song also?" said James sounding suprised
Ooh-hoo, and
nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your
clown
Ooh-hoo, and nobody knows it
Right from the
start
I gave you my heart
Ooh-hoo.. I gave you
my heart
"It's my favorite song. I love it," said Lily
So don't go
breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't
go breaking my heart
"Me to," said James
And nobody told
us
Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us,
Babe
Ooh I think we can make it
"Well that's one thing we have in common. Both liking Elton John and Kiki Dee," said Lily
So don't
misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
Oh,
you put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my
sights
"We have other things in common," said James
Ooh-hoo, and
nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your
clown
Ooh-hoo, and nobody knows it
Right from the
start
I gave you my heart
Ooh-hoo.. I gave you
my heart
"Like what?" asked Lily
Don't go
breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't
go breaking my heart
"Well first off we are both part of the magical world," said James
Ooh-hoo, and
nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your
clown
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
Ooh-hoo..
I gave you my heart
"Oh, bravo. 5 points to Gryffindor for Mr. Potters quick answer," said Lily
Don't go
breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't
go breakin' my, don't go breakin' my
Don't go breaking my
heart
"Don't go all teacher on me," said James
(Don't go
breakin' my, don't go breakin' my)
I won't go breaking your
heart
Don't go breaking my heart
Don't go breakin'
my
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go
breaking my heart
Don't go breakin' my
"Me?" said Lily

Don't go breaking my heart
Don't go
breakin' my
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't
go breaking my heart
Don't go breakin' my
I won't go
breaking your heart
"Yes you, well we better get Sirius back up to his dorm," said James
"Good idea, I think that was the second to last song so we better hurry if we don't want to get trampled," said Lily
"Wincardium Leviosa," said James and Sirius started to float into the air, "Coming?"
"Sure," replied Lily
They headed out of the Great Hall with Stephanie behind them. They walked up to the Gryffindor Common Room and Steph took Sirius up and put him to bed.
"So are you moving back into the Head's Dorm then?" asked James
"Only if you are," said Lily
They lifted their wands and said, "Accio Lily/James' stuff."
Seconds later their trunks came whizzing down the stairs, just at the portrait hole was opening and people started to climb through.
James and Lily turned and headed back to the Head's Tower hand in hand with their trunks flying behind them.
They arrived at the entrance to their Common Room and Lily said they password and the portrait opened.
Lily walked in and James followed. They trunks followed and zoomed into their dorms while James and Lily flopped down onto the couch.
"Don't Go Breakin my Heart," sang James
"I couldn't if I tried," sang Lily
"Ah, Honey, if I
get restless," sang James
"Baby you're not the kind," sang Lily
"What a great song," said Lily
"The best," said James
"And it's so true," said Lily
"So true," replied James. He leaned over and kissed Lily for the first time
Lily kissed him back.
Lily's POV
Oh my God, Oh, my God he's kissing me, this is amazing. I love him. I'm glad I'm not standing. I would most likely collapse. But then he would have to pick me up. Maybe I will collapse and he will carry me to bed. This is amazing.
End of Lily's POV
James' POV
Wow this is way better than I thought it would be. She is an amazing kisser. And she looks so beautiful. This is amazing.
End of James' POV
They fell asleep snuggled together still in their dress and dress robes on the couch.
