The Marauders sixth year. Third semester. Astronomy towers broom closet.
"JAMES POTTER! I COULD KILL YOU!" I shouted enraged. He flinched back. "Why is this my fault!?" he demanded. "Because Black is your bloody best mate and he is the one who LOCKED US IN A BLOODY BROOM CLOSET WITHOUT OUR WANDS!" I shrieked the last part before slumping to the ground and burying my head in my arms.
He slid down the wall beside me and gave a weary sigh. "Look." he said tiredly "I didn't plan this. To tell you the truth I'm supposed to be doing something right now. Something important." he sighed again and an uncomfortable silence permeated the stuffy broom closet. We sat there like that for about an hour in silence uncomfortable close in the tiny broom closet. The only sound was the occasional sigh from either of us.
I was uncomfortably aware of him; his arm so close it was almost brushing mine, his warm breaths barley audible, the way his eyes some times strayed to me but snapped back to staring at a blank space of wall. Finally I snapped. "Ohh bugger it!" I exclaimed and James head snapped to me startled by my outburst, but I ignored him and instead crawled to a space on the wall and started running my hands over it until Potter interrupted me by blurting "What in Merlin's name are you doing woman!"
I thought about ignoring him but instead answered "This is Filches second largest supply of fire whisky. He hides it in secret compartments in strange and unlikely places all over the school. Alice and I found this one in third year while hiding from McGonagall when we sneaked out late one night. We've found six others but we manly take from the larger collections, less suspicious. Any way here we are." around the middle of my speech I had found the compartment I wanted and by the end I had pulled out two small bottles of fire whiskey and two small shot glasses. I turned to see Potter gaping at me in amazement.
Finally he stammered out "Who the bloody hell are you and what have you done with Lily Evens." I rolled my eyes in amusement and quipped "I'm not a total goody-too-shoes Potter. Believe it or not I do leave the library sometimes." he grinned and grabbed a bottle and I shot glass before poring a healthy dose and downing it in one gulp. Whipping his mouth with the back of his hand he replied "I can believe that actually. You have to go to classes." I snorted and took a swig strait from the bottle, his eyes went wide and he missed the glass as he tried to pour another shot. We continued on like that, at first uncomfortably but we soon relaxed with the help of the alcohol. Soon the play full banter turned to drinking games. We played would you rather, the word games and we were now playing truth or dare. We had both finished our first and second bottle and I was almost finished with my third while James was on his fourth. "Okay, Okayyy! My-y first kish wazz Remus." I slurred excitedly. "What!" he yelped drunkenly "My Remus! Remus Lupin! Remus Bloody Lupin was your first kiss!" "Yep!" I giggled.
Then I frowned and said "Wait, w-w-wait your Remus? Awww I Knew Remus was gay! No one could be that nice and polite and be strait!" "What!" James gasped out as he roared with laughter. "But wait" he smirked "What's my excuses for being gay?" he asked jokingly. "You? Well here's the thing Potter, you're too bloody hot to be strait! Soo is Black. You know I'm scared to know what goes on in that dorm of yours! For all I know you three and peter probably get into weird orgy crap allllll the time!" I giggled and we sat there laughing and drinking. "Okay MY TURN!" I slurred
"Umm okay. Ohh! I know I dare you to pronounce your undying love to McGonagall at breakfast tomorrow in the fantastic hall and if any one tries to interrupt you-you shout at them that Minnie is yours and if she tells you to stop or tries to punish you -you accuse her of cheating ion you with Sirius! If she says the word Merlin you must burst in to tears and say it was never to be and that you will see her in your dreams before running out of the fantastic hall and- no wait! Skipping out of the fantastic hall and then act as though nothing happened and you act as though you don't understand what any one is talking about!" I shouted out all in one breath and looked over at the laughing James.
"Lily I am never giving you alcohol again!" we both erupted in another fit of laughter before James suddenly turned serious and said "Lily Evens," in a formal voice "I dare you- no I double dare you that if neither of us are in a relationship by the time we are both twenty two that you will marry me." I stared at him for a second before deciding that it sounded like a good idea and that it probably will never happen so I shook his out stretched hand and said "deal." real former like. He suddenly switched into joking mode again and we continued until eventually we fell asleep and that's how Sirius found us the next morning. Sleeping, upset, murderous, and both of us with huge pounding hangovers. I remember my last thought before drifting off was
"Damn firewhiskeys"
