A couple nights before we were all headed back to school for 5th year, Bella and Cissy came over so we could all go on the train together. Andromeda was off with some of her other friends, so it was just The other two girls, and Reggie and myself. None of us particularly like each other. Well, I mean Cissy and I are impartial, but that's mainly just a nod of acknowledgement in the hallways as opposed to dagger eyes. Cissy was actually the only sister left at the school, But Bella wanted to see her off, so we let her stay. Cissy had been a complete nervous wreck lately. Something to do with this Lucius guy and her being arranged to marry him, or something load of crap like that. But we didn't really get into that.
We were all clustered in a spare room upstairs when Bella took out four shot glasses, a bottle of Jack Daniels, and a bottle of Tequila.
"Holy shit Trixie!" She smirked triumphantly.
"Bella, we can't do that." Cissy pleaded and Reggie sided with her. But he was only 15 after all.
"why not?" Another smirk.
"I'm in." I pitched in my opinion.
"Fine, you filthy dog, what game?" She pursed her lips
"Seven minutes in Heaven." This was purely just to see her reaction.
"Fine. You're on." She smiled. I put an arm around her laughing.
"You know, cous, you could be really awesome sometimes." She slapped me and put a Silencio charm around the room so no one would hear us making fools out of ourselves. Luckily, the room had a closet, and also luckily, Reggie had a watch with a timer. Bella had spun the bottle and the game had begun.
First to go. Cissy and I. We each took our shots and entered the closet. She broke down for the upteenth time tonight about that guy, which took up about 4 of the seven minutes. And the other three minutes we were struggling to make it sound like something was going on…Yeah, that didn't work, and Bella and Reggie merely laughed when we re-emerged and drank again. Next round. Bella and Reggie. Actually, they were the two to kickstart the real game. All Cissy could do was stare at the closet in horror. The game got heated. Need I say more? Last round. Bella and I were locked in the closet, both of us (my excuse for this is that it was the 70s) were roaring drunk.
Do you honestly expect me to remember what I said? All I know is that we just started screaming at each other, which continued for long after the 7 minutes were up. After that, Cissy found it smart to end the game. And so we did. We all went to our rooms for the night, and that was the end of that.
As I was brushing my teeth, Reggie walked in.
"Are you bloody crazy?" He hissed through clenched teeth. "What would've happen if we had gotten caught." I rinsed my mouth out with soap.
The next morning, none of us made eye contact. We were all horrifically hung over, but Bella and I were still at the other's throat. My mother couldn't help but notice, and yelled at me for being a "lousy host."
