CHAPTER 1: Drunk nights and N.E.W.T exams
Al's POV
"So?" I said as I tried to hit the bullseye with my dart. I was with my mates Scorpius Malfoy, Axel Flint and Blaze Zabini Jr. As usual in our sort of private club house.
"So, we should consider studying for our N.E.W.T" Scorpius said. I ignored him as I celebrated hitting bulllseyes three times a row with a glass of butterbeer.
"Aw, Stop being such as tightass Scorpius" My other mate Axel said who was in a intense billiard game with Blaze II who said. "He's right 'sides it's no use anyway, exams are like in 1 month" Blaze slightly misjudged and missed an extremely easy shot.
"So what are we supposed to do now?" Scorpius said as he gave up as and put down the transfiguration text book. "Hey, you're supposed to be the Brains of our little club" I informed him. "I am Sirius Al, we barely passed our O. anyway, and now it's our entire career on the line."
"Oh, please you make it sound like I give a damn about career and shit like that" Axel and Blaze II laughed as they were agreeing with me. "I ain't got rich parents for nothing" Blaze II informed us. "So going to take over Zabini industries?" Axel asked as he lit a cigar. "Think I'll do the same, no way dad can refuse me." Scorpius sighed as he lit up a cigar of his own. "Too bad dad never fancied himself a businessman, looks like Al and I are screwed."
I sighed, I didn't really want to talk about stuff like career or life after Hogwarts or whatever. Not because I was emotional about leaving this castle or anything, I was more attached to this lifestyle – Wake up in morning, bunk all classes in club room playing darts, get firewhiskey or butterbeer (Depends if Scorpius is in the club room) and that basically concludes my entire life in Hogwarts. I mean back in the days when I was a 1st year kid I did study but could never find the need for it after my 3rd years.
"So tonight.." I said changing the subject. "What about tonight?" Scorpius asked as he poured himself a glass of butterbeer. "Weed? Tonight?" I asked even though I already knew their answer.
They all grunted how they were so going to quit tomorrow. How they were going to stop getting drunk here in the clubroom, how they were actually going to start studying from the next day.
Yeah Right...
I swear to god, the corridors in Hogwarts looked all the same. Maybe it was because I was seriously high right now, It may be not be that likely though.
I glanced back at my mates who were having trouble walking and kept stumbling on their foot but kept saying "sorry" each time. "Walk faster dammit!" I hissed, "If we get caught by prefect, I swear I will-"
"I will what, Potter?" Someone or more specifically Evangelina Valentine the head girl rudely interrupted me. "Ah, Evangelina" I said knowing fully well that she hated being called by her full name. "Can you point me to the Slytherin room?" I said hopefully.
She blinked several times, before she yelled, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?".Her yell was ignored when Scorpius suddenly decided that it was the perfect opportunity to voice his observation "haha... Miss Valentine your hair looks like its on fire."
What followed was the most awkward few seconds of silence. It was true though, Evangelina Valentine had blazing red hair which I had to admit I liked. And this was coming from a guy who was sick of seeing red hair throughout my life. Not that I would admit it. She also had slightly darker green eyes then my own, It appreciated my own like a bullet did with a gun. And before I could even think I muttered out, "Say Valentine, want to go on a date with me?"
And thus I broke a awkward silence with another one, she looked dumbstruck for a few seconds, "You guys...HOW MUCH DID YOU DRINK?" She yelled. "No, really Valentine, I am being Sirius here". "I SAID SHUT UP AND GET TO THE COMMON ROOM! NOW!" Her voice reaching alarmingly high level.
"Miss Valentine, I hope you have a legitimate reason for shouting" A rather stern voice came from the corridor just next to us. "Professor Lupin, I-I-" She began but Ted Lupin already guessed why. "What did you lot do now?" He asked with a sigh as he turned to face us. Axel and Blaze II were knocked out cold and looked as if they were sleep walking, Scorpius looked better but noway could he actually run at his state.
"Er... Ted-" I began
"Professor Lupin" He informed me trying to look stern
"Right, Professor Lupin, we lost our way to the Slytherin common room and then I noticed how beautiful Miss Valentine's eyes were" I said, I was so going to regret this when I would be sober again.
Valentine blushed furiously as Ted raised his eyebrows while Scorpius burst out laughing, "Aw, Al you old coot!" he said before going into another laughing fit.
"See, Professor?" Valentine said still blushing. "Right" Ted said still looking amused, "Miss Valentine would you please escort Mr Zabini, Malfoy and Flint back to the common room? I'll have a talk with Mr. Potter here." Evangelina nodded as she was about leave I shouted after her, "So do you want to go out or what?". She didn't ever bother turning back as she slammed the door behind her as she entered the dungeons, "Dream on Potter!"
I sighed as I turned to face Ted, "Whip that smile off your face." I said roughly even though I was talking to a Professor. Ted was one of the 'cool' Professor who made classes practical and fun. He was by far the best Transfiguration Professor.
He laughed at my comment, "You realize, your final year ends in a month?". I nodded, as I followed him to his office. It wasn't unusual for me to crash at Ted's office after a night of drinking. "You just asked her out now? So your planning to actually make her go out with you in one week?" Ted replied as he opened the door of his office I have so often been in.
"I couldn't get the courage to ask her out earlier" I admitted, as I crashed down on his crouch. He laughed as he poured himself a glass of firewhiskey. "Obliviously, you should have talked to her earlier, while you were drunk" He said. Although I hardly believe he meant it.
"Whatever, I need some sleep my head hurts" I whined. I heard him sigh before I fell asleep.
He obliviously was thinking about the damage I caused last time when I was in a hangover. I smiled in my sleep, "Maybe, I could get some breakfast here as well."
It seemed I couldn't, Ted had to rush home to Victoria who was very much pregnant and needed support or something. I somehow managed to drag myself to the Great hall still felling pretty hungover. I was joined by Scorpius and the others in a few minutes. "Hey, Al" Scorpius said with a grin obliviously he wasn't that hungover to forget about what happened last night. I sighed.
"Later, mails are here" I said as I lazily looked at up at my owl, 'Sentinel' and then I gulped. I wasn't the only one who noticed, Scorpius suddenly looked more awake than ever, "mother of god, a howler!" He shouted, Axel and Blaze II reacted even worse and ran back.
The howler turned dangerously red and looked as though it would burst any second. "Do it now" Scorpius said as he managed to get as far away from me as possible. Sometimes I wonder why I was mates with them anyway.
I gulped again as I slowly opened the envelope. The voice was undeniably that of of my mum. "ALBUS SEVEROUS POTTER! YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW ANGRY I AM WITH YOU RIGHT NOW!"The voice was so loud that I literally fell off my chair, "GETTING DRUNK NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE BUT FOR THE 18th TIME THIS YEAR! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS, ALWAYS HAVE TO CAUSE SO MUCH TROUBLE NOT ONLY TO US BUT EVEN TO TED!" Ah, so Ted is the little traitor no wonder he ran off to Victoria. "EVEN JAMES HASN'T DONE SO MUCH AS TO MAKE ME SEND A HOWLER! YOU WILL STOP RIGHT NOW, YOUNG MAN! OR I AM GOING TO DO MUCH MORE THAN JUST SEND A HOWLER! AND APOLOGIZE TO EVA AFTER THIS!" The howler shouted before finally bursting into flames.
The entire hall which was silent for a while before burst into laughter. Even Headmistress was smiling and that means something. "Yeah, laugh it up" I muttered angrily as I got back on my chair.
Scorpius and other came back to my side all of them still laughing and grinning like a pack of hyenas.
Behind them was Evangelina, she was grinning as well, I sighed better get this over it. "Hey Valentine sorry about what I did last night" Scorpius kept grinning while Axel and Blaze II looked a but confused. "I'll let you get off the hock this time, especially after that." She said still smiling. "Err.. What did you do last night?" Axel asked looking confused. "I don't really remember" I admitted.
Scorpius looked at me like he had just seen a ghost (A muggle term don't judge me) even Eva was looking at me like she could see through my soul or something. "You really can't remember?" Scorpius asked weakly. "Um.. No but I guessed I caused some trouble during your patrols, right?" Before Scorpius could say anything, She interrupted him with a sort of strained smile, "Right" She said before making her way back to her friends on the Gryffindor common room.
"BLOODY HELL, YOU REALY HELL DON'T REMEMBER?" Scorpius shouted as he suddenly got up banging his fist on the poor innocent table as soon Eva as left. "Er.. Yeah" I said.
EVA's POV
"He doesn't remember" I said as I reached my best mate Rose, as I gasped for air since I practically ran all the way. "Calm down, who doesn't remember and what?" Rose as she tried to dug her face up from the mountain of books she was trying to scale.
"Potter he doesn't remember about last night." I said as she finally dug her way out. "Isn't that a good thing?" She asked looking slightly confused. "Oh, right yes, didn't think about that" I said as she grinned, "Honestly Eva, last night you went on and on about about how much of a idiot and inappropriate he was." "That's because he is" I said with a "humph".
That's right I told myself he was a idiot and a jerk. I will resent him and will always hate him. Since I first met him in the burrow back when I was a 3rd year. Back then I felt sorry for him, after all he was like the black sheep of the family being the one in Slytherin and all. I though he was just lonely so he spend all day in that clubhouse all day. My entire image of him shattered during my first visit to the burrow.
It was a well known fact, James Sirius Potter hosted the most awesome parties on Christmas in which only the Potters, Weasley and some other family friends like Longbottom and some other were invited too along with their closest friends of course. And I finally got invited by Rose on my 3rd year. I remember being so excited that I could hardly sleep that night before.
Now don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the party but then someone decided to ruin it. And I quote Albus Severus Potter "Your hairs looks like its on fire" Exactly the very same thing he never forgets to tell me each time he is drunk! I mean really every time, every fucking time! You have an entire family of redheads and you pick me? Are you fucking kidding me?
And then when I finally get used to it it's someone else who says it and confusing as it is he proceeds to ask me out! And very, very and may I say very conveniently forgets all about it the next day!
I sighed there really was no use in ranting about this, I mean sure he was good looking and all but he was drunk. So drunk that he will probably curse himself right now for even saying that when Scorpius tells him about it.
AL's POV
"So, you do remember everything?" Axel asked, "yep" I said as I manged to it the bullseye with my dart. "Then why did you deny it to Eva?" Blaze II asked next, "Because if I didn't it would be awkward." I said as I hit the bullseye again. Damn I was on a roll. "So since when did you have crush on her?", I hit the bullseye for the third eye in a row. "Since I first saw her on the Christmas Party during my 3rd year." I said as I reached for my glass of butterbeer as usual to celebrate my three in a row epic dart throws. Scorpius immediately grabbed the glass and threw it out of the window before I could reach it.
"That was uncalled for" I said slowly but with a cold and dark voice. "When are you going to ask her out?, for real" Scorpius said not all intimidated. I sighed as I crashed down the couch. "Never, she has a future ahead of her while I.." I stopped. Why the hell was I insulting myself? But it was true though I really didn't have a future there was no way I was getting a job anyway after I get out of Hogwarts.
"So what are you going to do?" Blaze II asked in a more comforting way than Scorpius. "Nothing really, live down a bridge somewhere and get drunk maybe?" I said that as a joke but no one laughed they only looked more scared.
"We are going to have that carrier talk aren't we?" I said weakly, "Well, we were going to stop weed today-" Axel said with same enthusiasm as me, "might as well find a new hobby" Blaze II interrupted him to finish his line. "Well we could study for the N.E.W.T" Scorpius added slowly.
"Might as well" ,"Not that we have nothing as else to do", "It's not like I am going to this because I am scared or anything about the future" , "I can't believe I am quieting weed for this"
And that very instant we started hitting the books, There was lots to cover but we could make it. We spend the last month doing absolutely nothing but studying. We were basically multitasking gods! (Hey that actually has a good rhyme to it) We were studying DADA while eating, Charms while we were in the shower, Potions while we were half asleep (Sleep was a luxury we could never afford) and not to mention Transfiguration while we were playing quidditch. (Scorpius and and I had tough time since we played beater and having two beater inactive most of time wasn't good at all).
The Professors all though we were possessed or something, Ted had tried to play 'exorcist' saying that some Ravenclaw ghost had possessed us. Rose, Lucy and rest of my cousin legion had pretty much thought we had gone insane. I still remember Eva's face was when we actually aced the Practicals. Professor Darkwood our DADA teacher had actually told us that if we actually had the amplitude to be an auror. Mum on the other hand who heard about this was dying with happiness, not literally of course.
And then the day arrived, the results were out. There were exited whispers, happy faces, sad faces and even shocked faces but mine probably was the most shocked face you could ever imagine.
EVA's POV
"So how did you do, Rose?" I asked, her smile told me everything. I got Outstanding in everything besides bloody transfiguration. "Now, Now, Rose don't blame my subject like that." Professor Lupin said as he tried to look as though he was hurt. "Oh shut up Ted" Rose said with a giggle. "Professor Lupin" Ted reminded her not for the first time in fact probably for the 1000th time at least. "Not anymore" I said with a smile. "Oh right" Ted said, "How did you do Miss V- I mean Evangelina, can I call you Evangelina or should I say Eva, I mean I you prefer-". I giggled "It's fine anyway Ted, I did same as Rose. Just got an Outstanding everywhere but Charms"
"Hey Ted" All of us turned around to face the now new Albus Potter, he actually looked much better now, he's hair was messy as always but he looked as though he actually tried to comb it. "Can you confirm if my name is Albus S Potter, with S as in snake?". "Er, yes" Ted said. "How did you do, Al? Rose said as he tried to snatch the result paper from him. When she managed to she gasped, as she saw the result. "Well?" Ted asked, "Tell us" I requested getting more and more curious.
"Well, given result this is correct and my name was never changed, I seemed to got Outstanding everywhere."
So do you like it?
