The Infamous Hogwarts Singing Contest Finale of 1977

The Finale:

     "Thank you very much for that lovely performance, Mr. Black!" Dumbledore said as everyone in the Great Hall applauded for Sirius' performance of "Dynamite".

     "Now let me introduce the final act of the night," he spoke, "Originally two people who, I suppose, appeared to hate each other, now with a very lovely friendship indeed, I present to you with Sweet but Psycho, James Potter and Lily Evans!"

     James and Lily walked out from either side of the stage just as the music began to start. With a flourish of their wands, red and gold sparks burst from their wands while silver sparks dropped from the ceiling. James looked at Lily, who smiled at him, and began to sing:

"Oh, she's sweet but a psycho

A little bit psycho

At night she's screamin'

I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind

Oh, she's hot but a psycho

So left but she's right though

At night she's screamin'

I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"

     James performed a small choreographed dance routine with Lily on the side during this, and smiled at her again as he started on the first verse:

"She'll make you curse, but she a blessing

She'll rip your shirt within a second

You'll be coming back, back for seconds

With your plate, you just can't help it

No, no, you'll play along

Let her lead you on, on, on

You'll be saying, "No, no"

Then saying, "Yes, yes, yes"

'Cause she messin' with your head"

     At the end of this line, they both started moving around the stage, and around each other while all the colourful sparks from earlier had started to make a circular, halo-like formation around them. The audience was already extremely into the performance and started clapping along with the beat as Lily started the second verse:

"See, someone said, "Don't drink her potions"

She'll kiss your neck with no emotion

When she's mean, you know you love it

'Cause she tastes so sweet, don't sugarcoat it

No, no, you'll play along

Let her lead you on, on, on

You'll be saying, "No (no, no, no, no), no (no, no)"

Then saying, "Yes, yes, yes"

'Cause she messin' with your head"

     Lily and James then, in complete synchronization, brandished their wands and shouted "EXPECTO PATRONUM!" into the air. Right as the second chorus started a silvery white stag and doe which looked as if they were the Milky Way erupted out and started prancing around the two of them as James and Lily burst into song together:

"Oh, she's sweet but a psycho

A little bit psycho

At night she's screamin'

"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"

Oh, she's hot but a psycho

So left but she's right though

At night she's screamin'

"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"

"Grab a cop gun kinda crazy

She's poison but tasty

Yeah, people say, "Run, don't walk away"

'Cause she's sweet but a psycho

A little bit psycho

At night she's screamin'

"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"

     The crowd in the Great Hall was going wild now as everyone cheered the two Gryffindors on. James looked over the crowd as Lily prepared to start the bridge of the song. Sirius was jumping up and down in the front row screaming "GO JAMES AND LILY!"

     James smiled while laughing the whole time. He looked over at Remus who had a muggle camera in his hands, filming the whole performance. "Oh no," James thought, "Sirius probably told him to do it for blackmail purposes for later."

     Peter seemed less outwardly enthusiastic but still extremely excited during the performance as he hopped up and down next to Remus. James glanced over at Lily as she started to sing the verse, knowing the song was almost over, and he was going to do something he'd always wished to do and never got the chance. He just hoped Lily didn't push him away.

"You're just like me, you're out your mind

I know it's strange, we're both the crazy kind

You're tellin' me that I'm insane

Boy, don't pretend that you don't love the pain"

     The fireworks exploded into red and gold, green and silver, blue and bronze, and yellow and black as the two patronuses dazzled the room prancing and leaping from all angles of the stage. James and Lily finished up the song interchangeably with the final chorus as everyone below them was yelling, laughing, clapping, and dancing along to the song. Even some of the professors were dancing too. Professors McGonagall and Dumbledore were dancing together close to Sirius, while Professors Flitwick and Sprout danced on the other side of the room.

James: "Oh, she's sweet but a psycho

A little bit psycho

At night she's screamin'

"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"

Lily: Oh, she's hot but a psycho

So left but she's right though

At night she's screamin'

"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"

Lily: Grab a cop gun kinda crazy

James: She's poison but tasty

Lily: Yeah, people say, "Run, don't walk away"

James: 'Cause she's sweet but a psycho

Lily: A little bit psycho

James: At night she's screamin'

James & Lily: "I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"

     At the final word, everything happened for once. Sirius, Remus and Peter shot a golden firework reading, "JAMES AND LILY FOREVER! - LOVE THE MARAUDERS" above the crowd, all the students in the Hall cheered, with the Slytherins less so, and Snape even less. The two patronuses exploded in a silvery-white light along with the Hogwarts House's colours sparks, and as Lily turned to smile at James he looked at her and couldn't hold it back anymore. He put his arm around her waist, spun her around and then kissed her with all the love he's ever felt for her as the crowd went absolutely wild.

     Lily was shocked for a moment as a thousand thoughts raced through her head, but only one made it to the front of her mind before she melted into James' kiss, "Oh Merlin, I love this idiot so much."

La fin.
