James hadn't been at any class the whole morning and Lily wondered where he was. It was already lunch time and she sat down next to Remus.
"Where's James? I haven't seen him all day" she asked, trying to sound that she really didn't care.
"What, you miss him?" Sirius asked.
Lily snorted. "Yeah right, unlikely. I was just wondering"
"By the way, Evans, I think you should know that James doesn't deserve his weekend detentions" said Sirius. "I did something and the teachers naturally assumed that he was in on it too for some odd reason. There, now I've said it"
"Oh my god, he actually asked you to say that…"
"It's true. Believe it or not"
"So what was it that you did?"
"I, uh, poisoned Snape's owl" Sirius lied. Lily gasped.
"How awful!"
"Yeah. See, the poisoned water was meant for Snape but somehow his owl got it. And Snape, he's used to always having two people behind horrible things that happen to him and teachers are used to him being the one who speaks the truth."
"Hm, I wonder why James didn't say that he hadn't done anything."
"Hello? Anybody home?" Sirius knocked on Lily's head. "Would you have believed him?"
Lily felt bad for having misjudged James. And she admitted that she could be a bit uptight sometimes. Well, always. The doors to the Great Hall opened and in stepped a boy no one had ever seen before. Every body fell silent. This new guy headed for the Gryffindor table. He had glasses, his hair was black and neat. His shirt was ironed and tucked in and his tie was tied.
"Prongs, is that you?" Sirius asked, not believing his eyes.
"What happened to you?" Remus asked.
Music begins.
"Hello, Evans" James said casually. Lily stood up and looked at James, from head to toe, and both of them started singing a duet:
(Tune: You're The One That I Want)
Lily: Look at you, I am dumbfounded
Where's the Potter I know?
You look as you never been grounded
I am so astounded
James: I thought I'd shape up
'Cause you need a guy
Now I'm swotty just like you
I thought I'd shape up
'Cause I wanna try
So what's your make-over review?
Lily: Nothing left nothing left for you to do
James: I'm the dork that you want
(The only dork you want) Ooh ooh ooh honey
The dork that you want
(The only dork you want) Ooh ooh ooh honey
The dork that you want
(The only dork you want) Ooh ooh ooh honey
The dork you need (The dork you need)
Yes indeed (Yes indeed)
Now I've reached that perfection
That you dreamed of before
So I will not accept rejection
I want more
Lily: You better shape up
Yes, I want a guy
I want who you used to be
You better shape up
I don't want a nerd
James: You want no nerd?
Lily: Come back and I'll guarantee
James: Guarantee
Lily: That you can have all of me
Not a dork that I want
James: It's not a dork you want
Both: Ooh ooh ooh honey
Lily: A dork I don't want
James: It's not a dork you want
Both: Ooh ooh ooh honey
Lily: Dork you I want
James: It's not a dork you want
Both: Ooh ooh ooh honey
It's you need (The dork you need)
Yes indeed (Yes indeed)
