James, Remus and Peter followed Sirius out of the dorm and the commonroom. On the third floor they entered the room with the trapdoor so they'd get to the dungeonlevel quicker. They stopped in the room they landed in, the Chamber of the Keys as it's called today but they just called it the 'smelly room'.
"Wow look a motorbike!" said James just noticing a shiny black Harley Davidsson in the middle of the room. "I wonder who's it is"
Sirius revealed a key that he started the motors with. "Mine and mine alone. Isn't she a beauty?"
"Are you saying it's yours? When and where did you get it?" Remus asked.
"Like a couple of weeks ago. I saw it when we visited the ministry at the beginning of this term, remember? I sneaked off to the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office and some guy there showed me lots of bewitched mugglestuff that they don't know how to unjinx. And you know they are just glad to be rid of those stuff so I got this baby for only a couple of galleons" Sirius explained.
"So what's wrong with it?" Peter asked.
"Nothing. It just flies, that's all. You can't ride it on the ground. But not only is this a brilliant mean of transportation, but also an incredibly efficient witchmagnet!"
Sirius patted his bike proudly while his friends had no idea of what he was talking about.
"What are you talking about, Pad's?" James asked.
"I'm saying that all witches love motorbikes! They are very manly and radiates masculinity and confidence!"
Remus snorted. "Somebody who is confident in his manliness doesn't need something like that to uphold it" he said.
"So Prongs will you take advice from me or the fruitcake over there?" Sirius asked and pointed at Remus.
"Fruitcake, where?" Peter looked for fruitcake.
"Ok, what do you have to say Padfoot?" James asked, mildly interested.
"I can assure you that this guarantes you popularity. The girls will flock around you leaving Lily jealous. Because you see, this bike is automatic, flightomatic, witchmagnetic…why it could be Slee Lightnin'!"
Music begins as Sirius starts dancing around and singing. James sings the backup.
(Tune: Grease Lightnin')
In the world of witches you just don't know what to do, oh yeah
(Keep talking woah keep talking)
When you come riding this they'll all be swarming over you, oh yeah
(I'll get her Lily I need to get her Lily)
As soon as the engines roar you're not single anymore
With the help of it you will be getting someone fit
Slee Lightnin'
Go Slee Lightnin' if you are a lonely guy
(Go Slee Lightnin' go Slee Lightnin')
Go Slee Lightnin' if you also like to fly
(Go Slee Lightnin' go Slee Lightnin')
You are the dream with selfesteem
And Slee Lightnin'
Go go go go go go go go
When the girls start swooning that's when it really begins, oh yeah
Evans will be jealous and then everybody wins, oh yeah
By the ending of the day you are sure to get your way
Like any love potions only this is real emotions
Slee Lightnin'
(Chorus x 2)
The music ends. Sirius and James must sit down and rest.
"And that didn't sound rehersed at all" said Remus sarcastically.
"Wow you're rhyming is fantastic, Sirius!" said Peter sincerely.
"Well, I really owe it to Rhyme Zone…"
James stood up. "Either way, now I think I understand what I must do. Thank's, Padfoot"
"Don't mention it"
It was warm and sunny outside although September was coming to an end. Lily and her friends at under a large oak tree near the lake.
"Oh what a wonderful day it is" said Lily, stretching herself.
"I couldn't agree more" said Marlene.
Suddenly the sound of a running motor interrupted their peaceful life and they looked up to see where it came from.
"Look out!" Hestia yelled to her friends and all of them got out of the way and James landed. His hair was back-slicked, he wore a leather jacket and his glasses had been replaced with shades.
"Hello, ladies" he winked.
The girls were dumbstrucked and did not believe what they were seeing.
"What happened to you? What…why…when…" Lily asked, not her usual eloquent self.
"You could say I had a little makeover. So what do you think? I want your honest judgement"
"Where did you get that Harley?" Emmeline asked.
Girls from other houses came closer to see what all the fuss was all about, even from Slytherin.
"Wow…" said Narcissa.
"MeOw!" Alecto exclaimed.
Lily refused to let James' new appearance change her opinion about him.
"What are you really up too? Is this some new attempt from your side to get a date with me? This isn't you at all and it takes more than a silly bike to get me!"
"I'm sorry to hear that. I guess it means I'm going alone to Hogsmead this Sunday"
"No, take me!"
"Take me!"
"Me please!"
"No please take me!"
And so on, but James ignored them.
Marlene slapped Lily.
"Ow, what the-"
"All you do is whine, day in and day out, how irritating it is when Potter asks you out! How you wish someone else but Potter would ask you out! How there is no way you could ever go out with that Potter! If you're so uninterested, why do you yap about this so annoying person 24/7! Do you know that the rest of the female population of Hogwarts would do anything to have one guy so devoted to you so don't waste this chance because of your stupid pride! If you say no now, then I'm really gonna help you to do anything to get his mind off you!"
"Me too!"
"Yeah and me too!"
And so on. Lily sighed. "I suppose one date couldn't hurt. On one condition."
"What is that?" James asked,
"Don't wear that jacket. And Sleekeazy really doesn't suit you. I prefer it messy"
(A/N: Ok that was that. Better than last chapter, though not great but hopefull good enough for wanting to see what's gonna happen next! Please review!)
