Sorry, this is a day late, we were at a New Years Eve party last night! And can someone PLEASE REVIEW! Even if you don't like it, we accept constructive criticism! We're feeling lonely over here!
Small boy runs across stage holding sign, reading "Two Years Later" (ie, Lily and James 7th year).
Lily is standing stage left, watching James helping a first year learn to ride a broom. Unbeknownst to her, The Marauders are watching her watching him.
Lily starts to sing, to the tune of "There's Something There" from "Beauty and The Beast."
Lily: There's something sweet
And almost kind
But he was mean and he was coarse and a bully
But now he's dear, and so unsure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before
James: She glanced this way
I thought I saw
And when we touched she didn't shudder at my hand
No it can't be, I'll just ignore
But then she's never looked at me that way before
Lily: New and a bit alarming
Who'd have ever thought that this could be?
True that he's no Prince Charming
But there's something in him that I simply didn't see
(First year moves off beaming. Lily approaches James.)
Remus: Well, who'd have thought?
Sirius: Well, oh my god!
Peter: Well, who'd have known?
Sirius: Well, oh my god!
Remus: And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?
Sirius: It's so peculiar. Wait and see
Remus and Peter, at same time as Sirius: We'll wait and see
All three: A few days more,
There may be something there that wasn't there before.
Peter (spoken): Perhaps there's something there
(sung) That wasn't there before
First Year: What?
Sirius, looking reproachfully at him: There may be something there that wasn't there before.
James says something unheard, and Lily smiles. He moves towards her, and lights fade to blackout.
Awww, bless 'em. Next chapter, that fateful Halloween. It's time for Sirius to get a solo!
