The Cocktail Challenge

A/N: My editor and I came up with this idea while walking around in circles (We do that a lot). So the rules are:

#1: No bashing the other author or their work

#2: Name of the drink and the instructions on how to make it must be included

#3: The story must have something to do with the drink (the way it tastes, the name, etc.)

#4: 1000 words or less in each of the ten chapters

And I think that's it so here's the first installment of my version of The Cocktail Challenge!

Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling owns Harry Potter. I'm not really that good of a writer... all recipes for the drinks are taken from Cocktails : Barmans' A-Z guide to over 300 contemporary cocktail mixers.

Chapter 1 A Kick in the Balls

A/N: This takes place in the Marauder's Era before Harry was born (Duh!).

Sirius looked at James. James looked at Sirius and smiled weakly. Tonight would've been a fun night if Lily Evans wasn't here. And Remus was such a downer!

Moony sat at the end of the table, head in his hand and a tired yet pained look on his face. The last night was a full moon and he was still healing from last nights ... "activities."

Unfortunately for the old friends, Lily Evans was present, in the Potter's kitchen, drinking her herbal tea while Sirius and James had their favourite cocktails. Remus hadn't eaten or drank anything in days, but that was normal for him.

"James," Sirius whispered. "Have you and Lily... you know..." He quirked an eyebrow to make sure he was understood.

"Sirius!" James took a sip of his drink as a pink blush coloured his cheeks.

"Just asking." Sirius lifted his drink to his lips. "I mean you and Lily are engaged..."

"So? That doesn't mean we would do that..." James looked at his fiancée and turned a darker shade of pink.

Sirius downed his drink and stood up. "Well, I'd best be on my way. Remus, Lily," He nodded at each. "Jaaaaames..." He smirked at his friend and motioned his head towards Lily. "See you soon. "He turned to go.

Lilly placed her hand on his chest. "Leaving so soon Sirius?" She said seductively, her hand pulling at his robes.

"I'm so sorry to disappoint you Lily, but yes, I must go." He ruffled Remus' hair. "Don't drink too much Moony, see ya James." Sirius winked and put his hand on the door knob.

"Sirius?" Lily said suggestively. "I have something to give you." Sirius shrugged but nodded anyway. "Close your eyes." He did. "Brace yourself." Sirius looked confused for a moment but did as he was told.

He stood there, thinking that he must look pretty stupid to his friends. Well, he was thinking that, until he felt something collide with his lower region.

Pain erupted from his crotch as he fell to his knees on the kitchen floor.

"There you go Sirius! Don't you ever try to talk James into telling you about our love life again!"

That's right people, Lily gave Sirius A Kick in the Balls.
