"Ouch, that hurt," a girl's voice whined. But if anyone was around them they would be confused as to why voices were heard when no one was around.
"Quiet, do you REALIZE how many rules we're breaking?! If we're caught…god, I don't even want to fathom the consequences." Another girl's voice was heard.
"Well, usually we're just fine with four people, but six?! Under one invisibility cloak, it's insane!" A male's voice came.
"Hush Potter, you're louder then the rest of us."
"Would you all just shut up?" The first girl's voice said, "We're almost there anyway."
"Where exactly is 'there' anyway." A male asked.
"You should know, I did help you find passages for the map," A girl's voice announced.
"What map?" The other girl asked.
"Rori, that was supposed to be a secret!" A male hissed.
"What map?!"
"Er-Lily," the other girl paused. "Oh, look at that, we're here!" The cloak was thrown off revealing the six people hiding under it. Their faces were red from being in close proximity to each other for a long time.
"Where exactly are we?" Lily asked, her nose turned up in disgust as she took a look around the place. It was a small room with a dingy light hanging from the ceiling, there were only a few boxes inhabiting the area and the walls were covered in spider webs.
"Patience," Roriana said. The Marauders new exactly where they were, and wicked smiles were spread on their faces. Roriana started hitting the ceiling with her hand until a hollow noise was heard. She pushed up and a door swung open. "C'mon," Roriana gestured towards the open door with her head. Everyone hurried after her and suddenly Lily realized where they were.
"Why are we at the Hogshead?" Lily asked, turning her nose up in disgust. While the bar was larger then the previous room they were just in, it wasn't much better and seemed dirtier because there was more lighting.
"Lily, there's a few things I know about in this world, and one of them is relieving anger. What better way to relieve anger then to get drunk?"
"I'm not angry," Lily said defiantly, crossing her arms over her chest.
Roriana smirked and walked up to the bar. She came back with a tray full of six shots of fire whiskey. "Drink up boys," Roriana said as she titled her head back and let the fire whiskey slide down her throat. Her eyes were closed for a minute then she opened them, smiling. "What are you waiting for? Drink up!"
Four rounds later and everyone was dancing in the middle of the room, even Lily. The few people that inhabited Hogshead that night were watching the kids dance around in amusement, and some in disgust.
"This is the best idea you've ever had!" Lily shouted in a slurred voice to Roriana. Lily was currently hanging on Roriana as she talked and giggled at everything. "Who wants some more?!"
The Marauders and Roriana looked at Lily in shock. Lily giggled and walked up to the bar holding up ten fingers while giggling as she spoke, "I need six." She looked at her hands, "whoops, that's not six fingers." Her arms were resting on the counter of the bar, and her head was lying on her arms. She looked like she was about to fall off, "I need six. Six more please. Six, six, six." The bartender gave her an amused smile as he filled up six more cups. "You know, I'm the smartest kid in the school, but here I am, drinking, drunk, and giggling." Lily looked behind her and pointed at James, "and you see that boy? He's OBSESSED with me." Lily then leaned in towards the bartender, signaling him to move forward by waving her index finger. She looked around and then whispered, "thing is I'm oddly attracted to him. But, ssshhh, he can't know." Lily said, holding a finger to her lips. "His head might EXPLODE!" Lily giggled and the bartender placed the drinks in front of her, turning around to prevent further conversation.
Two more rounds later everyone had cleared out except for the Marauders, Lily, and Roriana. Remus was currently sitting in a corner; he had lost the ability to stand by round five. Peter was sitting on the floor blowing bubbles with his mouth, seemingly unaware of the drool running down his chin. James and Lily were on the dance floor, only a foot between them. Roriana and Sirius were sitting at the bar talking as they drank butterbeer.
"You're a pretty boy, do you know that?" Roriana giggled, as she patted his face.
"And you're a pretty girl." Sirius still managed to keep up his charming smile despite the fact that the he was intoxicated.
"We could make pretty babies."
Sirius raised his eyebrows as he smiled, "do you even know how to, love?"
"You're silly," Roriana giggled.
"You didn't answer the question."
Roriana looked around and giggled, "ssshhh, don't tell Lily. She would feed me to a group of hippogriffs with fish covering my body."
Sirius glanced over to Lily and James, "I don't think you have to worry about that for too long."
Roriana whipped around to look at Lily and James but in the act of doing so she fell off the chair and landed on her butt. "Ouch," she said rubbing her butt.
Sirius got up from his chair and grabbed her by the shoulders, pulling her up. "C'mon, let's go."
"What are planning to do with me, Mr. Black?" Roriana giggled as her steps swayed as he led her back downstairs to go back to Hogwarts.
"Well, I plan to get you back to your room."
Roriana giggled as she hung on Sirius, "and then what are you going to do with me?" Roriana tried to make her voice sexy but considering her intoxicated state she failed in doing so.
"I don't see Roriana and Sirius anymore," Lily said as she looked around the bar.
"Who cares," James said as he slowly moved closer to Lily.
Lily giggled, "you're SO in love with me."
James quirked an eyebrow at Lily, "so what if I am?"
Lily giggled once more and threw her hands up in the air, her dance becoming more feverish as the musics tempo picked up. "It's a pity your ego is so huge, your not bad looking." Lily stopped her dancing and moved towards James. Her hair was thrown widly about her head and her eyes looked a little lost as she moved, "and you want me so much." Her voice had turned husky and her eyes were going from his lips to his eyes.
James shrugged, trying to act nonchalant. "I want many girls."
Lily's giggle had turned low and seductive, "but I'm the one you want most."
"How are you so sure about that?"
Lily threw back her head and laughed in a condescending way. "Well, when you constantly ask a girl to marry you and go out with you I think that's a clear sign. You get a little pathetic when you don't get your way, James."
Ouch, that one stung James. Even through his intoxicated state her words cut through him, he prayed he wouldn't remember tonight.
Lily realized her words had hurt him and she put a hand to his face. "Sorry," she noticed his touch made him stiffen and his eyes didn't move. Lily smiled, "do I make you nervous?"
James came to his senses and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her in close. "I don't know, you tell me."
Lily looked at James' lips and started closing the gap, right before their lips met Lily fell unconscious into James' arms. "Can't I ever catch a break?!" James yelled as he held a –now- unconscious Lily.
Roriana awoke the next morning and wished she hand't because it felt like someone was beating her head repeatedly with a bat. The curtains were drawn open and the sunlight hit her eyes causing them to burn, and more pain to sear through her head. Roriana rolled over to her side and almost yelled as she saw a black dog laying by the foot of her bed. The dog seemed to have sensed her movements and lifted it's ears. The dog stood up and looked at Roriana before running out of the girls dormitory.
"What the hell?" Roriana whispered. She groaned and regreated her words, for they strained and constricted her throat.
Roriana closed her eyes, trying to fall back asleep. She felt as though she had only slept two minutes when she was awakened. Roriana strained to open her eyes and saw Lily standing above her with one hand on her hip and the other was holding a goblet.
"Drink this," Lily demanded, shoving the drink into Roriana's face.
Roriana's nose curled once the stench had reached her nose. She shook her head and tried to push it away but found she didn't have the strength to move her arm. It felt like every movement she made would send a searing pain throughout her entire body, resting on her head.
"Don't make me shove this down your throat."
Roriana groaned and very painfully she lifted up her hand to grasp the goblet. She tried to not breath in as she raised it to her mouth. The dirnk was chunky, and didn't slid down her throat easily. She almost gaged as she forced down the vile substance. After she had drunk the substance almost immediately the pain in her head subsided and she could sit up to look at Lily.
"Good, it's almost two and you have a essay to write."
Roriana groaned and sunk back into her bed, "can't make me."
"Don't be such a baby, I know you feel fine by now." Lily yanked the blanket off of Roriana, exposing her body. Liyl eyed Roriana, "how did you get into your pajamas?"
Roriana looked at herself and jumped out of her bed once she realized she was indeed wearing her pajamas. It was as if the act of getting out of the bed would somehow hide the fact that she was wearing her pajamas and considering the state she was in last night there was no way she would be able to tell the difference between pajamas and a Cornish Pixie.
"What happened?" Roriana asked.
"I don't know," Lily said corssing her amrs over her chest and quirking an amused eyebrow at her. "You tell me."
When Sirius had made it back to the boys dormitory he changed from his dog form back into his human form. An unsettling silence passed once Sirius had reached the room. He looked up at his fellow Marauders who all looked angered. "Hey lads," Sirius said feebly, rubbing the back of his head with his right hand, giving them a forced smile.
"Where the hell have you been?!" James was the first to speak up.
"Whoa, chill out, mum."
"Shut up Sirius! Do you know what it's like waking up and not seeing your best mate here? You were drunk last night, anything could've happened. You could've been caught, lost, whatever."
"Slow down Prongs, I'm fine, no big deal." Sirius said a little too calmy for James' liking.
"Ok, whatever Pads. But I sware to you, one day your recklessness is going to get you into trouble." James stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him firmly.
"Don't worry about him," Remus said once James' footsteps were no longer heard. "He had a rough night, and he's still a bit surly about it. give him a while, he'll calm down." Remus' eyes followed Sirius as Sirius flung himself on his bed, putting his arms behind his head. "Where were you last night, by the way?"
Sirius smirked, "brought Rori to her dormitory."
"Please don't tell me you took advantage of an intoxicated girl."
"Of course not, what kind of moron do you think I am Moony?" a sneaky smirk crossed Sirius's face once again, "but I did get to see her knickers."
"You what?!" Lily screeched.
Roriana turned red, "Lily, don't make me feel worse. I was shit faced. Besides, I saw you and James on the floor before I left, and there wasn't much space between you two."
Lily balled her fists to her sides and her face turned red as her body stiffened. "That's different."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, I don't lust!"
"Oh, so you're saying you love him?"
"No,
stop twisting my words or I'll give you a detention."
Roriana
rolled her eyes and started changing, "whatever. I have a paper to
write. I'll be in the library if you need me."
Roriana had spent the last two hours in the library reaserching for her essay. Her head was currently on the palm of her hand which was propped up on the table. She scanned the room looking for some form of amusement, anything to distract her.
Sitting to the table left of her was a girl, her name started with a P, H? Something like that. The girl was sitting crossed legged on a chair –that looked painful- and…picking her nose?! Roriana rolled her nose in disgust and scanned the room once more. Her gaze landed on a two girls; one was doing a little dance in her seat as she did her homework. And it appeared as if the other one was trying to stick her legs behind her head. This held Roriana's amusement for a bit. Eventually the girl got her legs behind her head, and then she fell off her chair. Roriana laughed but soon grew bored and sighed in frustration as she turned back to the essay.
"Right," Roriana said in an attempt to focus herself. "The part of the body that transforms first when a human is transforming." Roriana then procedded to bang her head against the table while saying. "Why-do-I-have-to-do-this-sodding-essay-I-would-rather-be-eaten-by-a-group-of-eels...oofffhhh!"
Suddenly Roriana was thrown from her chair as someone ran right into her, knocking her to the ground. Her head was the first thing to make contact with the ground and little estars were dancing before her eyes. Out of hysteria she started counting the stars and naming them. She'd only named two when she finally came to her senses.
"What the bloody hell? Whoever knocked me down, I'm going to castrate you!" Roriana shook her head and her vision was less blurred. She saw that hovering above her was none other then Sirius Black. "What was that for?"
Sirius shrugged and gave her one of his lopsided grins. "I don't know, you looked bored. And you've got a red bump on your head from hitting it repeatedly on the table. That's not good you know, you could loose functions in your brain."
Roriana stood up and shook her head. "Oh, and knocking a girl to the floor so her head hits the marble tiling wont cuase any damage?"
"Didn't exactly think that one through, I'm impulsive at times."
"Is there something in particular that you want?" Roriana claimed her seat once more and picked up her quill, signaling to him that she wanted to be left alone so she could work.
He didn't get the hint.
"Actually there is." Sirius's tone was a lot more serious –no pun intended- and he pulled up a cahir next to Roriana. "About last night…"
Roriana –who was currently looking at her paper- slowly raised her head to meet Sirius's gaze. "What about it?" she asked nonchalantly.
"You don't remember?"
"Remember what?" Roriana fully remembered what had happened that night, except for the part were she changed into her pajamas. She didn't care to relive the experience with Sirius again, as it was embarrassing enough the first time.
"Right," Sirius slapped his hands against the table and stood up. "Well, I'll see you around." Siriius started walking out of the library but then turned around. "By the way, I liked you're knickers, the ones with the polar bears running around."
The next day Lily and Roriana were sitting in Binn's class, taking this time to talk.
"Lily, don't forget that tomorrow we have the guild meeting."
Lily rolled her eyes, "your actually going through witht hat? I thought it was a joke."
"Are you kidding me?! How could you pass up an opportunity as momentous as this one?"
"I think I'll manage."
Roriana raised her arms up and her voice went up a decimal, "why cant the world know about our love for the Black Stallion?"
Lily turned bright red and grabbed Roriana's hands, pulling them down. "Why do you always have to cause such a scene?"
"You get embarrassed far too easily."
"And you need to learn about personal space."
"You said you liked the way I grabbed your boobs."
