"Next, in the group category, third place goes to Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew for Virginia Company." Dumbledore announced.


"Go us!" Sirius cried, grinning.


"In second place, we have Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew again, for Larger Than Life."


"Two in a row." Remus grinned. "Think we can go three for three?"


"And in first place in the group category, we have Sirius Black, James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, and Lily Evans, for Can't Fight The Moonlight." Dumbledore finished.


"Awesome!" Peter grinned.


Seconds later, the four of them were on stage. Remus couldn't help grinning from his seat as they started singing.


Lily-

Under a lover's sky

Gonna be with you

And no one's gonna be around

If you think that you won't fall

Well just wait until

'Til the sun goes down

Underneath the starlight, starlight

There's a magical feeling so right

It will steal your heart tonight

All-

You can try to resist

Lily-

Try to hide from my kiss

But you know,

All-

but you know

That you can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark

You'll surrender your heart

But you know, but you know

That you can't fight the moonlight

No...

You can't fight it...

It's gonna get to your heart

Lily-

There's no escaping love

Once a gentle breeze

Weaves its spell upon you heart

No matter what you think

It won't be too long

'Til you're in my arms

Underneath the starlight, starlight

We'll be lost in the rhythm so right

Feel it steal your heart tonight

All-

You can try to resist

Lily-

Try to hide from my kiss

But you know,

All-

but you know

That you can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark

You'll surrender your heart

But you know, but you know

That you can't fight the moonlight

No...

You can't fight it...

No matter what you do

The night is gonna get to you

Sirius-

Don't try your never gonna win

James-

Underneath the starlight, starlight

Lily-

There's a magical feeling so right

Peter-

It will steal your heart tonight

All-

You can try to resist

Lily-

Try to hide from my kiss

But you know,

All-

but you know

That you can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark

You'll surrender your heart

James, Sirius, and Peter-

But you know, but you know

That you can't fight the moonlight

No...

You can't fight it...

All-

You can try to resist

Lily-

Try to hide from my kiss

But you know,

All-

don't you know

That you can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark

You'll surrender your heart

But you know, but you know

That you can't fight the moonlight

No...

You can't fight it...

Lily-

It's gonna get to your heart


"And now, onto the Duet category." Dumbledore continued after they had sat down. "In third place is I Feel Like A Woman, by Lucius Lamfoy and Sverus Snape."


"Damn, I would have loved to see them have to do that again." Sirius grinned.


"In second place, is Sirius Black and Lily Evans for Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."


"And I would have loved to see that again." Remus laughed.


"Over my dead body." Sirius muttered.


"Aww, you're no fun Sirius." Lily laughed.


"And in first place, James Potter and Sirius Black singing Best Of Friends."


"Let's go, Jamesie Boy." Sirius grinned, heading for the stage.


"Jamesie boy!" James cried, jumping up and chasing after him. "Come back here you."


"You can kill me after the song." Sirius laughed.


"Try and make me wait." James grinned as the music began.


James-

When you're the best of friends

Having so much fun together

You're not even aware, you're such a funny pair

You're the best of friends

Sirius-

Life's a happy game

You could clown around forever

Neither one of you sees, your natural boundaries

Life's one happy game

Both-

If only the world wouldn't get in the way

If only people would just let you play

They say you're both being fools

You're breaking all the rules

They can't understand your magic wonderland

Hu-hu-hu

James-

When you're the best of friends

Sharing all that you discover

When that moment has passed, will that friendship last?

Sirius-

Who can say if there's a way?

Oh I hope . . . I hope it never ends

Both-

'Cause you're the best of friends


"That song is still adorable." Lily said as they sat back down.


"Just like me." Sirius grinned. Lily simply rolled her eyes and kissed James' cheek.


And finally, for the Solo category." Dumbledore announced. "In third place, we have Severus Snape with Thunder Rolls."


The only applause for that one came from Slytherin house.


"Ugly, slimly, nasty, smug little git." Sirius muttered.


"In second place, we have Mr. Argus Filch with Every Breath You Take."


Okay, right here, there was one of those cricket chirping silences. The student body was too stunned to react immediately. Luckily, one of the teachers started applauding and snapped everyone back to reality. The applause quickly spread until Dumbledore began to speak again.


"And in first place, is Sirius Black with The World Has Gone Insane."


"YES!" Sirius cheered. Lily and the other Marauders started congratulating him as Dumbledore motioned for him to come up on stage and sing an encore. He went up, grinning like a maniac.


Sirius-

The world has gone insane

And parasites are eating at my brain

And nothing is the way it was before

A pack of wolves is howling at my door

I'm living in a nonstop nightmare

Dead men's dreams

Filled with screaming pain

Hurling me to mad extremes

In a world that's gone insane

The world has lost its head

And every evil hour is filled with dread

I'm floating on a lake

But upside down

And when I try to breath I start to drown

I cannot speak as nameless ghosts

And faceless ghouls

Bid me join the dead

No one tell these gruesome fools

That the world has lost its head

Fiendish creatures leave their graves to taunt me

Old friends risen from the dead to haunt me

God forsaken images that daunt me

Drowning in an endless flood of blood

The world has lost its mind

And everywhere I turn I fear I'll find

Some nightmare even worse than those I see

Satanic demons closing in on me

How can it be that even though they see my plight

Everyone is blind

Night is day

And day is night

In a world that's lost its mind

The world has gone berserk

And hiding in the murk

New monsters lurk

I see a sea of snakes upon the floor

I see the Reaper grinning at my door

Bad is good and good is bad

Sacred is profane

And its wiser to be mad

In a world that's gone insane!


"That song is so perfectly Sirius." Lily laughed. He caught up to them as the students filed out of the Great Hall.


"And again." he grinned. "I was in the winning entry for all three categories."


"There goes his ego again." Remus said, rolling his eyes.


"Hey, I'm allowed to have an ego." Sirius protested. "I am God after all."


"Sirius, the next time you say that, I swear I'm going to kill you." Lily threatened.


"Sirius, quick, come with me." James said suddenly, dragging him off. Lily, Peter, and Remus wacthed as they walked up to Snape and Malfoy, for once without Crabbe and Goyle right behind. Without a single word, James punched Lucius in the stomach. Sirius was quick to follow and hit Snape.


"You ever insult Lily like that again." James snarled at them. "And no amount of magic will be able to put your bodies back together. Come on, Sirius."


"Aww, can't I hit him again?" Sirius begged.


"McGonagall's coming." Peter called to them.


"Never mind. Run!" Sirius cried. The five of them ran off laughing.
