Lily sighed leaning against plush chair. Her mother had just owled her some new records completely ignoring the face Lily's record player didn't work at Hogwarts. She should have just kept them at home until Lily came home for the holiday.

"What's this?" James asked picking one of them up.

"They're records, you play them on a record player. It used batteries or electricity, two things you don't understand," she grumbled.

"Wow, muggle music is weird! Is this from the States?" Lily looked at the one he was holding.

"Yes, they're a band called The Eagles. This is their newest release, Hotel California. Mum said it was really weird, but I can't listen to it here."

"I have an idea!" James announced darting off, taking Lily's record with him.

"James! Come back here with that, don't break it!" she yelled following him. She lost track of him somewhere around the second set of moving stairs and was about the head back to the common room and give up when she heard Sirius talking loudly to Remus.

"James thinks this will work, all he needs is for us to get Lily there."

"She won't go anywhere with us, Sirius, remember last time? Personally I agree with her, I wouldn't go anywhere you wanted me to either."

"Last time was a fluke, how was I supposed to know what Peeves was planning?" Sirius asked in mock annoyance.

"Because you probably told him to do it?" Lily suggested stepping out from the shadows. Remus laughed .

"I think she's right."

"What is this, gang up on Sirius day?"

"No, that's next week, Tuesday I think," Lily retorted. "Now, where does James want you two to take me?"

"If I tell you, it won't be a surprise, his words, not mine," Remus explained quickly. Lily rolled her eyes.

"Fine, let's go, but if I see a single water balloon..." Sirius laughed leaving Remus to escort Lily.

"He means well," Remus said trying to defend Sirius.

"He's a git."

"Sometimes, here we are."

"The Come and Go Room?"

"Just go inside, I promise, nothing bad or pranky will happen this time."

"I'm trusting you, Remus."

"I know, I know, if I'm lying you'll have my head on a stake and parade it around for all to see." Lily smiled that Sirius had passed on that particular threat. She slowly opened the door and stood there in shock. In the center of the room was something that kind of looked like a record player, and on it, her new record. James waved his wand and it started playing.

"I wanted you to be able to hear the new song, since you seemed really sad it wouldn't work here. I just asked the room for a way to play muggle records and voila!"

"Thank you, James, it's sweet." James stated walking towards the door. Lily looked at him, "Stay, we can listen to it together." He smiled and flopped into one of overly large chairs the room had provided as Hotel California played on repeat.
