This is an au one shot, they are all Muggles and go to Hogwarts Academy for the Children of Agents.


Lily stepped up onto the stage. Sirius had dared her to sing at the place where he works as a DJ. It just had to be the school's hang out place. It just had to be a Karaoke Bar. She twiddled with the thumbs and took deep breaths. Slowly she lifted her head, turned towards Sirius and nodded. Music began to play in the Karaoke room. It was quite loud but it was in the back of Lily's mind. She stared at him but his head was down. The music carried on until she knew she had to start singing. She started at her feet and began mumbling the words...

"Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
(take a look at yourself)
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief,
Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?"

Lily peeked up, he was still looking down. She could see that he was on his phone. She could see him swiping every so often. She stopped her eyes from watering. He was probably on Tinder. Why did Lily think she even had a chance with him! He was obviously cooler than Lily and way out of her league! Lily felt her anxiety creep over her, engulfing her in question, threats and insults. She listened and answered all while singing the lyrics to the karaoke song.

"I work (he works hard) hard every day of my life
I work 'til I ache my bones
At the end (at the end of the day) I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray (praise the Lord)
'Til the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

(He works hard)

Everyday
I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
I got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"

Lily peeked up again, he was looking at her. Not just looking, staring at her. She ignored everyone else and stared into his eyes. He put the phone on the table and stared back into her eyes. Lily poured her heart and soul into the song.

"Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm OK, I'm alright
I ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?"

The crowd clapped for Lily, cheering for a standing ovation. Lily laughed it off, acting like she didn't care. She really didn't care. She only cared about him. He didn't clap. He didn't cheer. He screamed for her. Lily was sure that he was going to break his vocal cords. She giggled and walked down the stairs and sat at her table. He winked at her and she blew him sarcastic air kisses. He walked over to her table and leaned on it.

"Nice voice Evans."

"Thanks, Potter."

"Your welcome, Evans."

"I am welcome, thank you for noticing, Potter."

"Ugh." Lily smirked. James Potter started to walk off.

"Hey, Evans," James stopped but he didn't turn around, "Do you want to go ice skating some time?"

Lily was glad he didn't turn around because though he could probably hear it she was smiling her ass off, "Sure, Potter but your going to have to teach me how."

"Sure, I'll see you next Friday at the Lake."


James tied his laces and stood up, wobbling a bit. He had bribed every student at Hogwarts Academy for the Children of Agents, "So, the trick to skating is to think of it as walking. Okay, so your now that you are on the ice, you can just hold on to the railing..." James trailed off as he saw Lily to jumps and pirouettes, skating at a pro level. Lily approached him.

"I may have bent the truth a bit about my skating abilities." she shrugged.

"A bit?" James raised his eyebrows.

Lily laughed and skated towards him. She tripped on a pebble and slid towards James. She slid towards him while he was taking a selfie. He caught her in his arms. He caught her in a pose. A pose that made it look like they were slow dancing. The picture was taken but they didn't look at it. They started to slow dance on the ice. Badly. They danced like it was their job. However, if it was their job they would have been fired. They finished their dance and James started to dip Lily. Due to their lack of Slow Dancing on Ice training he failed and they fell butt first on the ice. They laughed the pain away and sat on the ice. Joking around. Staring into each others eyes. Leaning Towards each other. Kissing.


Ever since then they had come onto the Lake every year and taken a picture. They had their wedding their. Three years after their wedding, they took their last picture together. They kept it in a digital frame. A montage of all their pictures, all in black and white, all put together to look like a movie. From 16 to 24, they looked the same and yet their eyes twinkled more and more in every photo with the glistening of hope for the future.

And so their son, Harry, kept that twinkle in his eyes. Throughout everything, he kept that twinkle. When he took down the murderer who killed his parents, he kept that twinkle. Throughout ever relationship he had, he kept the twinkle. His children kept the twinkle and so did everyone else in the Potter family. Because that twinkle gave them hope, that twinkle have them a reason.
