A/N: So thanks to everybody who reviewed. You guys rock my socks! And if you guys (and girls, I guess) are reading this, after every chapter review. And tell me what you thought, especially if you hate it, and tell me what would make it better.
Disclaimer: don't own Harry Potter or Queen songs (though I so wish I did) or Daniel Powter songs. But if anyone would like me to give me the rights to any of the above things I'd be forever thankful.
Chapter 3
As the Maurders walked back to the common room, James filled them in on how he'd come to be reduced to a soggy ball of emo. "And so," he concluded ", I give up."
"Oh come on James," Sirius said ", How many times have you asked her out. You never gave up before."
"But you didn't see her. The passion in her eyes was… brilliant."
"You still like her," Peter pointed out.
"If her hatred for me creates such passion in side of her," James said ", I don't think I could suppress that."
"Prongs, she said no because you let your ego ask her out for you," Moony, always the smart, reasonable, AND sexy one, pointed out. (A/N: Okay only I think he's sexy. No one in the story does. Except for Victoria. But then again, Victoria is me. Ouch, my head hurts.)
Before James could respond Vanessa, the local, to be politically correct, frequently horizontal girl (or in understandable terms easy girl) and her two airhead cronies, Danni and Jen came by in their stilettos and ho skirts. Vanessa flipped her hair with a "Hey James". James considered this his moment to prove his friends wrong.
"Hey Vanessa," he said. She turned around to face him. "Want to be my girlfriend?" The Maurders were shocked but Vanessa didn't notice. She shrugged her shoulders with a "Why Not?" and she blew a kiss and walked away in a cloud of cheap perfume.
"James," Remus said.
"Oh come on guys!" James said with a stern voice. "Was it not you three who have constantly told me to get over lily? To not stay committed to someone who hates me? To live it up? I have had girls throwing themselves at me. And now I'm going to live right. Don't Stop Me now."

"So Moony," James said, rapidly changing the subject ", I know something you don't know about Victoria!"
!#$&()
Lily and her gal pals (A/N: I know it's cheesy but cheese is awesome!) were gathered in her dorm room. They were disappointed with her.
"From now on," Amelia said ", I'm so not running away when you get into a jam with James. It's way too interesting!"
"Yea," Lily said sarcastically ", I was going for interesting."
"Well Lily," Brianna said ", It's your wildest dreams come true! James isn't going to be all over you now! You have officially blown it!'
"Well it's what you wanted," Amelia said ", Right Lily?"
"Yea," she replied in an unconvincing tone ", I'm totally happy."
"Um, has anyone noticed Victoria has been completely quiet? She ALWAYS has something to say," Brianna said ", Umm Victoria?" She tapped her on the shoulder.
"Huh," Victoria said, being pulled from her revelry.
"What's up with you?" Amelia asked.
"I realized James must have heard your comments about Remus and me."
"Oh shit," Lily and Brianna exclaimed at the same time, but Amelia was unmoved.
"Oh please," she said ", He likes you too. Go downstairs and flirt with him. You'll be attached at the lip in less then 5 minutes." Victoria immediately perked up. She checked herself in the mirror and ran to the common room.
"Umm," Lily mumbled ", I'm… gonna… go downstairs to talk to James." She said the last part really fast and she bolted out of the room.
"Should be interesting to see how this one turns out," Brianna said pulling out her books to actually do homework.
"Well we're lucky we have three free periods in a row otherwise our social live would be SPLAT!" Amelia said sarcastically, causing Amelia to erupt in laughter.
!#$&()
Lily approached James who was by the window talking to a very exasperated Remus. "Come on James! Please tell me what you know about her!" Remus was saying.
"Look," James said ", She's right there. Go talk to her." Remus left to go talk to Victoria and Lily approached James.
"Umm… Hey James," Lily said nervously.
"Oh, hi. Hey look, I'm not wet any more."
"Oh yeah," Lily said embarrassed ", I wanted to talk to you about that. I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have been so rude. I admit it. I was wrong and out of line. And I…" Lily never got to finish that thought because at that moment Miss frequently horizontal herself. She hey babe'd James and started exploring James throat. With her tongue. Lily had to look away between her shock and the vulgarity of the scene.
"Wowza!" James exclaimed when they finally pulled apart. "So, you were saying Lily?"
"Umm…Never mind. I have to go umm… mail a letter to my parents. So snog, I mean long." And she ran upstairs, horrified. The last thing she saw before she went in her dorm was that Amelia was wrong; Remus and Victoria were snogging in less then 3 minutes.
Good, James thought, she's jealous. No wait, I'm not doing this to make her jealous, right? I'm over her. But that annoying little voice that some would call a conscience (weird name, right) told him he was flat out lying to himself.
!#$&()
When Victoria (finally) got upstairs she found Amelia painting her toenails, Lily doing homework, and Brianna writing a letter to her parents. She went to the mirror and fixed her smeared lip gloss and started brushing her hair.
"How was your snogging session with your boyfriend?" Brianna asked.
Victoria showed her a rather dirty hand gesture (A/N: That doesn't mean happy birthday! Inside joke) and said "Technically he's not my boyfriend because he hasn't asked me out. Yet."
"Oh my God!" Amelia said, feinting shock ", You snogged someone who's not your boyfriend! How could you!" Victoria proceeded to throw a bottle of hair spray at her.
"What's wrong with Lily?" Victoria asked, since she had remained completely staid the entire time. Then comprehension dawned on her. "Oh she saw James and the bimbo!"
"Bimbo wouldn't be politically correct," Brianna said.
"To hell with being political correct!" Victoria responded laughing. "I thought this is what you wanted Lily!"
"Fuck you," Lily replied.
"You wish James would f you!" Victoria said.
"Well at least I'm not a slut who'll make out with some one she's not even dating!"
Victoria slapped her in the face.
"Hey!" Amelia said, stepping between them ", Break it up! Lily don't take out the fact you screwed up on Victoria! And Victoria do NOT antagonize her."
"Sorry," the two girls said to each other.
"Lily, we can fix this," Victoria said.
"Yea Lils, you just had a bad day!" Brianna said.
Brianna, Amelia, and Victoria sing Bad Day by Daniel Powter.
Amelia: Where is the moment we need at the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
Brianna: You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Victoria: Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
All: Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oh.. Holiday..)
Amelia: Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
(yeah...)
Brianna: So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Victoria: Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
All: You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Song ends and the girls sit next to Lily on the bed.
"Thanks guys," Lily said.
"No problem," Amelia said proudly ", You'll get him back!"
"You really think so Mia?"
"I know so because I've got a fool proof plan."
"Of course SHE has a plan!" Victoria groaned. Amelia threw a pillow at her but spilled her plan anyway.
"That's never going to work!" Brianna said. Victoria nodded in agreement.
"Do you have a better plan?" Lily asked. When they said nothing "Didn't think so! So this is our new plan." Victoria and Brianna knew they'd have to come up with a back up plan for this plan.
"Look at the time," Victoria said ", We have 5 minutes to get to Charms." The girls grabbed their things and ran out of the room.
A/N: well? Review please! I promise next chapter will focus more on James. And I want to stick some Remus and Victoria in there to shake things up. Next chapter might take a little while, but I'll get it up eventually!
