A/N Going to try to make this one as much speech as possible because I'm not very good with the descriptive but I will throw it in there every so often.

BEEP, BEEP

I threw my arm out of my duvet cave and hit the snooze button on the alarm clock. Remind me why I set my alarm again? Oh yeah, because I'm being forced to go last minute costume shopping.

I already have my costume. I decided this year I would go stereotypical and play my my name. Yes, I am going as The Little Mermaid.

"Arielle! Arielle wake up you lazy slut! Come on, if we don't hurry all of the good costumes will be gone! Come on, bitch!" My friend Grace. Ever the charmer.

"Remind me why I gave you a key?" I asked still hiding in my fuzzy warm cave.

"Because you know one day you'll get too drunk to remember how to open the cupboard to get out another bottle of muggle vodka! Now, HURRY UP!"

"Ah yes, the delicious taste of vodka washed down with more vodka" I sighed contently "You make me sound like an alcoholic" I abruptly emerged from my cozy sanctuary and narrowed my eyes at my best friend.

"Now that would be awfully hipocritical of me now wouldn't it deary" She said with a chuckle.

I smiled and started to vacate my bed (much to my dismay) and walked over to my closet.

"Oh, guess what! Apparently Harry Potter is going to be at the party tonight!" Grace shouted out of the blue.

"How come?" I asked with genuine confusion.

"Well you know his wife is about to have a baby? Well apparently his friends are taking him to the Leaky Cauldron to say goodbye before he goes into the vast unknown of dirty diapers and pukey babies" She replied. Very pleasant indeed.

"And just how do you know all of this?" I asked off-handedly looking through my closet.

"Well Pavarti use to be friends with them didn't she and Lavender Brown, you know the bimbo that works with her, practically stalks the Ron Weasley guy because they use to date in like 6th year at Hogwarts"

"Oh right, Were they in 6th while we we're in 7th or 8th?" I asked after I had chosen my outfit for the morning.

"Um... OH! We were in 7th because He got together with lavender while we were still there. Do you remember that Quidditch match I was to ill to go to and we walked down stairs after it ended and the was a full swing party in the common room?"

"Ah yes, the good old Gryffindor common room parties. Not as good as the ones we threw in the room of requirement though"

"God no, thode were insane. I think the Potter Possee came to a few but we were probably to drunk to remember" She said laughing.

I started to change into my new clothes smiling at my barmey friend. when suddenly realisation seem to strike her once more.

"Oh My Merlin!"

"What it it this time?" I said in and exasperated tone rolling my eyes.

"Didn't you sleep with one or two of Potter's friends? The hot one and the other one!"

"Yes because that really narrows it down" I said rolling my eyes again but smiling this time.

"Yeah, the hot black one that use to date Potter's wife. What is his name?"

"Um, Dean I think" I said really starting to regret not being able to remmber the names of two people iv'e had sex with. Great, first an alcoholic, now a slut.

"Yes, thats him! and The other cute one that always blew things up and he was like best mates with Dean! They were always the ones that stuck around at the parties"

"Oh yeah, Seamus. I remember he hit on me for years and always said cheesey Irish lines like 'I'll let to stroke me lucky charms'" I did my best to impersenate him, or rather any sort of Irishman.

"So, do you think they'll be at the party?" she asked eyes widening with excitement.

"Probably, they always were the party animals of the group"

With that I finished changing and we left my room, heading toward the fireplace to flew to the Leaky Couldron before heading into Muggle London.

When we arrived in the Leaky Couldron we were greeted by a very excited Tom.

"Hey Tom, excited for tonight then?" I asked sweetly.

"Oh yes, I expect i'll see you girls her?" He replied with a smile

"Absolutely" I replied before I looked around the pub. It was covered in fake cobwebs, skeletons and some of the ghosts I recognised from Hogwarts.

"Sir Nicholas!" Grace exclaimed beside me.

"Ah, if it isn't Little Grace Knight and Ariellie O'shaunessay" He said softly as he floated towards us.

"Sir Nicholas, It's so nice to see you!" I said smiling brightly.

"Haven't you two grown! Will I be seeing you at the party tonight? Tom here with the help of Headmistress Mcgonagall,managed to get some of us to move away from the castle tonight" He said with a wide grin. Obviously being stuck in a castle for iternity could be quite boring so he must by over the moon to be able to get away for a bit.

"Yes, we'll be here" I said happily "Well we should get going, last minute costume changes and all that" I said rolling my eyes and tilting my head towards Grace.

"OK, Well see you tonight girls" Tom said

We waved good bye and headed out the frontdoor and headed down the down towards the Muggle shopping centre. The wizarding world doesn't have as many choices when it comes to costumes so we always come here. Hopefully when we meet the rest of the gang we wont take long before heading back to mine to get ready.

After walking for about 10 minutes we saw our friends Charity, Preston and Rainer.

Preston and Rainer we staring at passing girls while Charity was leaning against a shop wall rolling her eyes.

"Preston! Rainer! Stood gawking it's humiliating!" I shouted from down the street. And straight away the both started looking around for something, trying to hide their shame.

"Yeah, thanks for that A." Preston said walking towards me with his hands in his pockets smirking.

"Your welcome sweet cheeks" I said with a wink before he welcomed me with a hug.

"So do none of you have a costume?" I asked quite surprised.

"Well I do but I'm just looking for some finishing touches" Rainer replied.

"OK, well what are you being?" I asked again.

"Ah, now that my dear is a surprise" He asked with a cheeky grin which caused me to roll my eyes.

"Come on guys, lets go" Charity said with a sigh. Then we began to walk towards a muggle fancy dress shop, when we got inside I noticed that the shop was relatively empty when it came to stock because people obviously got their costumes in advance unlike my lazy friends.

After about two hours of walking around in fancy dress shops, everyone came out with a costume and we headed back to the Leaky Couldron to floo back to my flat.

When we arrived in my living room it was around 4pm so we had about 4 hours to get ready. (Because that much time really is needed to put on a costume) Even the boys want to look good tonight to impress the ladies and make an impression on the great Harry Potter.

As Grace and Charity started setting out their make-up boxes on the floor of my livng room, I head to the kitchen with the boys to open up some pre-party booze (really not helping the defense of being an alcoholic) and created a medium size fish bowl cocktail.

3 hours passed of me and the boys eating pizza and laughing at the way Charity and Grace are obsessing over their faces, so we decided we should get ready to.

Me and the girls went into my bedroom to change into out costumes while the boys staying in the living room. I was wearing my mermaid costume which consissted of a shell bra, a short pleated skater skirt, peep-toe heels and a shell tiara. Grace was dressed as a slutty nurse and Charity was a slutty devil. We walked into the living room to see the boys all dressed up. Preston was dressed as James Bond (a character from a muggle film series) and Rainer was a pirate.

We recieved a few wolf-whistles from the boys and made our way over to the fie place ready to floo back to the Leaky Couldron. Party time!
