bands of the era. Especially since Sirius never shut up about them. "That's a Muggle band!
How's that even possible?" she demanded, gesturing to the obviously magical stage.
"Firstly, Black Sabbath is not a Muggle band," Sirius corrected her, and the look on
his face said that he was almost offended by her accusation that his favourite band was
anything less than absolutely magical. "Just because they play for Muggles, doesn't mean
they are Muggles. How do you and Remus know the magical status of every author and
poet that ever lived, and yet you don't know that Ozzy is a wizard?"
She stared at him, waiting for him to burst into laughter at her expense. "You're
taking the piss, aren't you?"
"Not even slightly. Mia, their debut album had a song called 'The Wizard.' That's
clearly about Dumbledore." He left out the silent "duh" that came at the end of his
statement. "The entire band went to Hogwarts. The only bloody Slytherins in the world—
besides one Dorea Potter—whom I hold in the highest esteem." He shook his head
disappointedly at her before directing his attention back to the stage with a grin as he saw
the opening band step out.
"Here's your drink love," Remus said, taking a small cup from James as he and Lily
returned.
"Did you know that Ozzy Osbourne is a wizard?" Mia asked, turning on Remus
with wide eyes.
"You didn't?"
Two hours later, sure enough, Black Sabbath stepped onto the magically lit stage,
their instruments charmed instead of plugged into amps. Lacking microphones, Ozzy
Osbourne held a yew wand to his throat after casting a Sonorus Charm, allowing the sound
of his voice and music to fill the room. Despite her annoyance at Sirius and Remus both
knowing something that she did not, Mia was enjoying herself.
Already, three fights had broken out closer to the stage, two of which Sirius
narrowly escaped—something that apparently made the night all the more enjoyable for
him. Each time he came back from evading a brawl, he would grin and say, "Did you see
how close to the stage I got?"
James, Lily, and Peter attempted to get closer a few times as well, but when Peter
accidentally got elbowed in the face, Lily held him back to make sure he did not have a
concussion.
