A/N: After a long filking blackout, my muses happened to pay a visit to me, so I composed this lovely (in my opinion) filk. LILY is writing in her diary in the Gryffindor Common Room. JAMES is standing outside, eavesdropping.
Miss Evans and I ("The Wizard and I" from "Wicked"):
LILY: Dear Diary,
I have been apathetic
I've been letting my schoolwork slide
I know that I should be studying now,
But I can't deny
My heart's desire
When James Potter's being stupid,
I glare at him angrily
But the truth is, I think he's quite cute
And very funny
But I don't think that he
Even thinks of me
LILY goes upstairs to the girls' dormitory and JAMES enters the Common Room.
JAMES: Did that really just happen?
Did Miss Evans actually see
What a perfect couple we'd make and that
We are so meant to be?
But to win her over
I must use charm
So I'll use charm
When I see Miss Evans
I'll take my Snitch out
And once she makes eye contact,
I will throw the Snitch and- and wow!
When flies away from me
I will catch it every time
And Miss Evans will be impressed
By those Quidditch skills of mine-yes
She'll say to me, "You'd look so great on a broom
Looking for the Snitch in the sky."
And that's how we'll begin
Miss Evans and I
Once I'm with Miss Evans
My life will be great
'Cause once you're with Miss Evans
There's no room for hate
No Snivellus will anger you
No teacher makes you bored
And all of Hogwarts will envy you
That such a girlfriend you have scored
And that wonderful glow I'll have inside
Won't go away if I try
When we are hand in hand
Miss Evans and I
And one day I'll say to her, "Lily,
A girl who is such a treasure,
There should at least be a man in the world
Who deserves such a pleasure
And the chance is little, I do agree,
That I have won such a lottery
But still, will you make the stride
To be my lovely bride?"
And though my speech will be phrased to awkwardly,
"Of course, my love!" she'll reply
Oh, what a pair we'll be
Miss Evans and I
Yes, what a pair we'll be
Miss Evans and…
Our wedding day
I clearly see our wedding day
It'll be the best wedding anyone has ever seen
I know
We're not even dating
It might be hopeless waiting
But I clearly see the scene
Of my friends beaming happily
And Snivellus turning green!
And I'll stand there with Miss Evans
Feeling happy without bounds
And though I'd never do it,
I would want to jump around
And that day will be the best day of my life
If from happiness I will not die
With soaring self-esteem
When people see us they will scream
For half of this school's favorite team:
Miss Evans and I!
