So... truth or dare fanfic, I know it's overdone soooo much but it's so funny! I don't own the characters, settings, situations, blah, blah, you know what I mean lol. Set in marauder's 7th year (just before the start of it, at Sirius' 18th birthday party, some time in September 1972 XD) For some reason I felt like putting random song lyrics at the end and naming the chapter after the song.
The party was well under way at Sirius' small flat in a high-rise building in London. The assorted guests were all drunk and very rowdy. Luckily some student friends lived next door, and they had given him permission to use their flat too... as long as they were invited. Sirius had agreed reluctantly, as he really did need the extra space... he was glad of it too, as the noises coming through the not-very-thick walls gave him the impression that he wouldn't want to walk in there right now! He saw James and Lily sneak off onto the magically enlarged balcony together and smiled. He had been wondering when they would get together. Suddenly he was aware of a female presence beside him, very drunk and pressing her body hard against his.
"Siius... I wan' you, siius, sleep wiv' me... come on, you know you wan' to..."
"What? Who are you?" asked Sirius, although he had consumed quite a lot of alcohol he wasn't quite as sloshed as her... he would never let himself get into that sort of state at his own party.
"It's me, siius... don' you rerember? Ka-katy" she burped in a very unladylike way. Sirius was revolted, he had no idea who this girl was, couldn't even remember inviting her, when suddenly-
"Katy? Are you OK?" asked quite a pretty girl with blonde hair descending almost to her waist. She had soft grey eyes and a husky voice which Sirius couldn't get enough of; she was his girlfriend, Laura.
"Laura, who the fuck is she and what is she doing here?" he asked her, shifting Katy's dead weight from his own arm to his girlfriend's
"She's my friend, I didn't think you'd mind. You said to bring some mates."
"Yeah, but I didn't expect you to bring her!"
"So who did you want me to bring? I didn't know she had a crush on you! I thought she was a bit keen."
"Sorry. Come here." He kissed her, as the kiss grew more passionate Katy slapped at her friend and said
"Stop it! It's not fair, why you go out wiv' him an' not me? boys alway' like you be'er tha' me... it's not fair!"
"Can you get her out of here? Pass her onto Wormtail or something, he's desperate."
"That's not very nice... OK, I'll try. Katy?" but Katy was now sobbing on the floor. "Oh leave her. She's always like this when she gets drunk, she's really... normal, normally."
"But I feel bad now... I'll go tell Peter anyway."
"OK" Laura shrugged. "It won't make any difference, she'll fall asleep in a minute and be out until morning. the only way you can tell she's not dead are her gigantic snores." Sirius broke from the embrace and went off in search of his friend.
"Moony!" He called to Remus Lupin, a boy with scruffy, brown hair, who was vaguely nodding his head in time to some rock music which was playing from somewhere. "Moony, you seen Wormtail? I found a bird for him!"
"That way, mate" said Remus, pointing in the direction of the bathroom, which was surrounded by a small crowd.
"Cheers!" said Sirius, and pushed his way through about 3 people to see what was going on. "What's up?" he asked a tarty-looking girl wearing loads of make up.
"Someone's locked themselves in the loo. They better hurry up, I need to put some more lippy on." Sirius stared at the girl in bewilderment for a second, who looked as if she'd need a chisel to get off the lipstick she was already wearing.
"Oh. Right. Um, thanks" He knocked on the door, sincerely hoping there wasn't a couple in there. He presumed that was the reason why people weren't using the toilet next door. "Peter, is that you in there?"
"Yes" said a small but defiant voice from inside the tiny bathroom. "Go away."
"Um, are you OK? Make sure you're decent, I'm coming in." he stood back slightly from the door. "Alohomora" he muttered. The door swung open. He closed it gently behind him and locked it again, leaning against it to be sure no-one could get in. ignoring the shouts of 'Gay!' etc. from the few people waiting outside (A/N: there wasn't a very big crowd, Sirius is still at school, he can't afford a mansion! How would all these people fit?) and looked at his friend Peter. "what's the problem? Cheer up, it can't be that bad! Go on, tell me."
"How come I can never get a girl? You, James and Remus are fine, all you seem to do is say 'hi', and they're eating out of your hand! I'm the only one out of us four who hasn't got laid yet!"
"Hm... how desperate are you?" asked Sirius, tactfully. He'd known Peter felt like this for some time, even if he hadn't said anything. It was kind of obvious, nevertheless he didn't want to force Katy on his friend, though he thought they'd make a good couple.
"I'd take anyone!" said Peter.
"How about someone who's pissed out of hell?"
"Yeah, whatever!" said Peter in a worryingly eager way.
"Well follow me, my friend. I think you should meet..." he unlocked the door and led Peter to the girl who looked almost unconscious, but was at least trying to support herself by using the sofa as a leaning-post "...Katy" he proclaimed, indicating the girl. "I'll talk for you if you want" he whispered to Peter. "If you don't want to embarrass yourself" he added, rather unkindly. "Katy!" he shook Katy by the shoulder. "Katy!" he shouted. "Wake up, I want you to meet someone."
"Wha?" asked Katy, staring straight past Peter and Sirius with unfocussed eyes. Sirius looked at her worriedly.
"Are you sure she's just on booze?" he turned to ask Laura, but she had disappeared. "Hey, where'd she go? You seen Laura?" he asked Peter, who was eyeing Katy doubtfully. His desperation seemed to get the better of his doubt, though, as he said "Hi... I'm Peter" nervously
"Ah well." He turned watched Peter's pitiful efforts at chatting her up for a while.
"So, um, do you like... quidditch?" he asked her nervously. "What team do you support?"
"Quitch? Wha?" asked Katy. "I support you, baby..." was her response. Sirius raised his eyebrows.
"Bloody hell! That was the worst chat-up line I've ever heard... and she's so going for it!" he watched interestedly for a moment Katy's stumbling conversation and Wormtail's nervous one, then, as they headed off for next door, Sirius looked around for Laura again. She was laughing with some of her friends at the table. Sirius felt a bit let down, but went to talk to Remus. Suddenly he spotted a girl staring at him. She met his gaze and looked away as if she was embarrassed. She was really pretty, with glossy black hair which looked great even in the really bad lighting. She laughed at something somebody said and Sirius watched the laughter ripple through her body, making her dress shimmer. She had lightly tanned skin and a perfect figure. And that dress... it looked amazing. So simple, yet so... perfect. Sirius imagined it would be easy to slip off... No! he shook his head, trying to clear those thoughts from inside it. He had a girlfriend, he was happy, he didn't need her... but did he? Sirius had never seen a girl so beautiful, so perfect. He was head over heels in love at first sight. He'd be mad not to go and speak to her. She glanced at him again, saw him staring at her and gave a little wave, smiled. When she smiled her eyes glittered like stars. He was lost. Glancing over to make sure Laura wouldn't see, he spoke to her.
Testify
I've been cheating myself for too long
Living as if I was going nowhere
And I know its wrong
I've been fighting
Myself for too long
I tried, really tried
To keep my head up high
And I know it's wrong
And I should really know better
But it's been so long
I know how I feel
But I'm afraid to show it
Inside it's so real
No-one else would know it
The whole truth
And no lies
Cutting deeper I can hear my soul cry
Come on testify
Come on testify
I've been lying to myself for too long
Silence (pause) is my only comfort
And I know its wrong
But I can't change the weather
It's been too long
I know how I feel
But I'm afraid to show it
Inside it's so real
That no-one else would know it
The whole truth
And no lies
Cutting deeper I can hear my soul cry
Come on testify
Come on testify
To the friends I have lost on the way
To the friends I've been pushing away
You can say that I made it
But I'm jaded
And inside I've fallen
Down, down, down
I know how I feel
But I'm afraid to show it
Inside so real
That no-one else would know it
The whole truth
And no lies
Cutting deeper I can hear my soul cry
Come on testify
Come on testify
Come on testify
I've been fighting myself for too long
And I've been hating myself for too long
