I'm a Believer
It had been three months since Lily sang 'Girlfriend' and started going out with James. They were the new 'it' couple, and very happy. They were completely in love. The only couple that could rival them was Frank and Alice.
Remus was gloating to Sirius about this newfound glory. But, alas, Sirius had found a way to get them back. When the four marauders were visiting Sirius' cousin, Andromeda, there was a slight incident involving Remus. He was holding Andromeda's two-year old daughter, Nymphadora, and whenever he tried to give her back to Andromeda, Nymphy, as Sirius liked to call her, would start crying. Sirius loved that.
Peter had been getting a bit distant, and whenever Lily was mentioned, he seemed to get a envious glint in his eyes.
Marlene and Sirius both stayed ever the players, with record numbers of boyfriends/girlfriends.
Camilla had easily gotten over James, what with her evil soul. Her posse ditched her; they were finally standing up for themselves. So, Camilla finished the year, with no friends, no popularity, looking utterly uncool, and getting all Ts on her NEWTS.
It was the end of the year, and the seventh years had just graduated. They were now enjoying their last feast at Hogwarts.
James stepped up onto the Gryffindor table.
I thought love was
Only true in fairy tales
He started singing.
Meant for someone else
Bt not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seems
Disappointment haunted
All my dreams
He sang all this out to the whole school, eyes only staying on Lily.
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
Lily stepped up onto the table next. Her eyes also stayed on James.
I thought love was
More or less a given thing
The more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah
What's the use in trying?
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
And then I saw his face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave him
If I tried
Alice and Frank climbed up, too. Frank sang first.
What's the use in trying?
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
Alice took over the singing from Frank.
And then I saw his face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
The four on top of the table all sang together.
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
The rest of the students joined in too. Except for Snape. But no one expected him too. They all knew he loved Lily, and disapproved of anyone dating her, other than himself.
Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Now I'm a believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a believer
Then I saw her face
I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm a believer
By the end of the song, James was kissing Lily on top of he table.
The students were all cheering again, because even thought they had seen it before, this was the last time they were going to.
Frank laughed.
Alice beamed.
Remus gloated.
Marlene giggled.
And Sirius smirked the oh-so-famous, marauder smirk. At which all the girls sighed.
Dumbledore grinned, as did the many other teachers who bet on the fact that James and Lily would start dating before the end of the year. A.K.A. every teacher other than the gullible Filch, who isn't even really a professor. But, he took to hating all of James and Lily's premature kids anyway.
Even McGonagall allowed her mouth to form a small smile.
James and Lily didn't know any of this. In fact, they weren't even aware that a world outside of their snogging existed.
Especially for Lily.
Did I mention that James is an extremely good snogger?
