Disclaimer: I don't own the characters (except Ebony), Harry Potter or the song 'If I was a boy'
I know that this song wasn't in this time, but just bear with me guys!
"You bastard!" Ebony Jones yelled at James Potter, as her best friend, Lilly Evans, ran crying out of the Great Hall.
"It's not what it looks like!" He yelled, even as he was untangling his limbs from the blonde on his lap.
She scoffed.
"Oh yeah, so you really aren't snogging a girl on your lap!"
She glanced out the door anxiously.
Ebony was torn between going after Lilly and castrating Potter.
Eventually, her loyalty towards her friend won out and she ran after her best friend.
She found her by a tree near the lake, sobbing her eyes out.
"Oh, sweetie," Ebony murmured sadly. 'It's okay! Just let it all out…"
Lilly looked up at Ebony with red eyes.
"Why did he do that, Ebony? Wasn't I good enough for him?"
"Because he's an idiot. He doesn't know what he gave up,"
She rubbed Lilly's back soothingly. Lilly rested her head on Ebony's shoulder and sobbed.
"Maybe, if I slept with him like he asked, this wouldn't have happened," she murmured sadly.
Ebony widened her eyes and shook Lilly by her shoulders.
"No! This isn't your fault, Lilly! No matter what you would have done, he would have cheated on you anyway! At least by refusing him, you got away with your virginity."
Lilly sighed, "I guess so."
Ebony hesitated. "You know, Lilly, when I'm sad, I like to sing a song. It makes me feel better."
Lilly stared at her.
"What?"
Ebony smiled at her. "A song, Lilly, a song."
Lilly thought about it then nodded.
"Okay…but I don't know any songs. What was that song you were singing in the shower last night?"
Ebony stared at her.
"If I was a Boy?"
Lilly nodded.
"I'll sing that!"
She took a deep breath and began to sing.
It started out as a broken, little whisper.
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in
the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it
with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
Because
they'd stick up for me
Her voice started to get stronger.
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels
to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
Her broken heart began to show in the song.
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose
the one you wanted
Cause he's taken you for granted
And
everything you had got destroyed
People had begun to watch. Ebony glared at all of them, and they hurriedly pretended they weren't watching.
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone
its broken
So they think
that I was sleeping alone
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I
know that she'd be faithful
Waiting for me to come home (to come
home)
Most of the girls watching had tears running softly down their faces.
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels
to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose
the one you wanted
Cause he's taken you for granted
And
everything you had got destroyed
Lilly's voice got angrier and people started glaring at James, who was standing alone. His friends had abandoned him, as they had come to think of Lilly as a little sister.
But you're just a boy
It's a little too late for you to come back
Say its just
a mistake
Think I forgive you like that
If you thought I would
wait for you
You thought wrong
You
don't understand
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you'll wish you were a better man
By now Lilly was standing up and screaming the words so they echoed across the lake and around the grounds.
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until
you lose the one you wanted
Cause you've taken her for granted
And
everything you had got destroyed
Suddenly, Lilly's voice turned broken and sad again, and she sank to the ground.
But you're just a boy…
She suddenly burst into tears and ran off again.
Ebony cursed and ran off after her.
Everyone started glaring at James again and he smiled nervously as they all backed him into a corner…
So? What'd you think of it?
I just got this into my mind, and I couldn't get it out -_-"
