"There it was the sounds of Queen songs blasting through the halls of hogwarts. Again.

I was confused why would anyone play rock songs at night ?? Something sirius would do but after 10 swats to the head, he stopped

It was midnight which was still my patrol time. I heard where the songs where coming from. Then Cant help falling in love with you started playing and i followed it. Tip toeing through the deserted corridors.

It came from a... wall ? I muttered what in the merlin... i looked for a door in to what ever room was in side this strange wall but turns out there was no door. But the music stopped so i let it slide.

Next night everything is in natural order. No weird shadows or death eaters anywhere so i just casually strolled through my patrol

Then music blared again on the 7th floor. I was pissed. This dude needs a watch. I walked up to the source and found the wall i saw yesterday. This time the song was Y.M.C.A. this person might be annoying but his or her taste in music is not bad.

Then around midnight the songs stopped. It was like that for the next few weeks.

The next morning james was sitting next to me and eating his bacon. Sirius and peter were sitting across us and were sleepily eating. I could even see dark circles under sirius' eyes. I stood up to go to the library to pick up some books when james walked with me for a bit.

" remus have you seen sirius wandering the corridors at night ?" He asked quietly
"No never i might hear muggle music at night but it never bothered anyone so i let it slide. Besides sirius is a deep sleeper." I said confused
"He keep wandering at night to some where. He says he goes to the kitchens and he'll be back when i caught him but he never did until dawn" james continued
"Ill keep an eye out" i said reassuringly

That night i was strolling along the 7th floor expecting some muggle songs to ripple but there was none.

Instead i saw a shadow move towards the wall i heard the songs came from. There was a hooded figure wearing gryffindor robes but his head was covered with the hood

He walked infront of the wall 3 times while muttering something. I peeked behind a pillar under a window and watched as this weird guy continued his muttering.

Then magically there was a big wooden door. Apeared on the wall out of thin air. The boy went inside and before the door could vanish i slipped inside as well

The boy opened his hood. And knelt infront on a music player with mountains of CDs. Muggles albums from ABBA to Led Zeppelin. Trending songs in the muggle world.

I hid behind a chair when the boy opened his robes to reveal a blue pajama. Sirius. The boy was sirius. He sat down and put a Disc in the player and starter listening to Highway to hell by ACDC. I knew sirius got an obsession with punk rock and leather.

I came out of the chair and said "sirius what are you doing here ?". He looked surprised and confused but he stammered an answer "i had to i cant keep all this in grimmauld place. I need the room of requirement"

I sat down next to him and looked through his CDs. I gave him reviews of the songs. The night was spent with him listening to his favourite albums.

Soon the marauders would sneak to the room of requirement to listen to sirius' music. Soon peter brought in his own albums,so did james.

But i told them to put silencing charms. In case a teacher passed by
And it became a tradition. Music nights on friday 12 AM with the marauders

Soom lily and the girls started joining in and they brought songs of their own. And we had private parties and just singing along to the songs.

Then on the night of me and sirius' wedding. He played the first song he played on his music nights. Which was i cant help falling in love with you.

The marauders and lily and her gang laughed at the memories as we danced and drank lots of butterbeer.

And that was how i started dating your dad teddy" i said to my son who was laying down on his bed listening to my story.

"I want to do that too daddy" he said and he starting dozing off.

I went to our bedroom surprised to find it filled with sweet scented candles. And sirius in the middle of the room putting a CD in a player.

He stretched his arms to me and said "shut up and dance with me". We danced to the same song on our wedding. Relieving old times
