Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, or any of the songs in this fanfiction.
AN: I've always wanted to do a musical! The songs are in italics. The song in this chapter is Elton John's The Circle of Life.
The Circle of Life
It was the first day back at Hogwarts.
Dumbledore had watched all of the new and old students come through the doors, and knew there was excitement in store for this year.
And that excitement had to do with a certain James Potter and Lily Evans.
Dumbledore only had to wonder when they would finally get together.
The teachers had set up bets on it, but Dumbledore hadn't been one of them, but he thought it would happen by the end of this year.
James seemed t have fallen for Lily, but Lily seemed a bit more hesitant.
Hesitant may not be the right word.
More like hostile towards James.
"Well, Fawkes," he sighed. "That's the circle of life, for you."
From the day we arrived on the planet.
Dumbledore started singing.
And blinking stepped into the sun.
There was more to see, then can ever be seen,
More to do, than can ever be done.
In the circle of life!
It's the wheel of fortune!
It's the leap of faith,
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life.
Dumbledore walked over to his window, where he saw a group of students laughing in the sunshine, together.
Some of us fall by the wayside in life,
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars!
There's far too much to take in here,
More to find, than can ever be found,
But the sun rolling high
In the sapphire sky,
Keeps great and small on the endless round!
In the circle of life!
It's the wheel of fortune!
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope,
Till we find our place,
On the path unwinding,
In the circle, the circle of life!!
Dumbledore turned around, to see, out on the Quidditch, the legendary group of friends, the marauders, joking around.
"Ah. The beginning of the story," he told Fawkes.
AN: I know, my readers from other stories might be disappointed that it's so different, BUT I DON'T CARE! I have it all planned out, so I'll be moving onto the final sequel to Sirius Black's Notebook. When I get around to it. Which might take a while.
