"Lemo! Do you mind? I have the feeling someone has a metal band around my head and is slowly tightening it, I currently don't want to help you with your damn crossword, ok?" groaned a hung-over Lotte as she sipped her coffee in the kitchen the next morning.
Andy bounced in to the kitchen.
"Goodmorning sunshine's! Wasn't that party last night just great? Although I didn't see too much of it, but hey, what I saw was great" she exclaimed happily.
"Great? The bits I can remember were great except when I gave Sirius a lap dance….." said Lotte with a shudder.
Lemo gave a snort of laughter,
"Yea! I remember that! Damn that was so funny! You were totally off your face, ha-ha you should be glad that guy you were sitting on pulled you away, god knows what would have happened next" Lemo said slightly reproachfully,
"Shuddup, you know that guy left his name and phone number on a napkin which he had shoved down my top" Lotte said quietly, placing her hand on her temple.
"Oh I see someone else here suffering from the effects of alcohol!" Called a jubilant Barry as he sailed down the stairs in to the kitchen,
"Anyone seen Sirius?" asked Barry, Lemo and Andy shook their heads, Lotte groaned and muttered something that sounded a lot like "don't remind me".
There was a pop and Sirius apperated right next to Barry.
"You called young sir?" he said majestically, sweeping into a great bow.
"yea, I was just wondering if you had anymore of that tonic stuff for hang-over's for Andrew, Jub and Lotte here?" he asked, gesturing to Lotte who was sitting at the kitchen table looking like hell warmed up. Sirius Looked over to Lotte, who was staring at him, and winked, with a look of shame Lotte retreated back to staring mournfully at her coffee.
"Yea, here" he said handing Barry a small bottle from his jeans pocket "one drop each under the tongue should do it" with one more look over to Lotte her desperated. Andy and Lemo fell in to spasms of laughter and didn't seem to be able to control themselves for quite some time, Lotte looked absolutely disgusted.
"Barry, be a kind soul and give me some that tonic stuff?" she begged Barry,
Barry grinned
"What's in it for me?" he asked slyly
"I'll tell everyone what I saw you doing when you thought everyone in your dormitory was asleep, one night when I was stalking Andrew" she said smirking, Barry handed her the tonic muttering sulkily.

"Andrew! Andy! Desist from wrestling for one moment and help Barry and I put up this damn tent!" Sirius yelled at Andrew and Andy who had been fighting over a rubber tent mallet.
"Ok, that looks about it" said Barry stepping back to look over their handy work,
"Yep, hey? Where's Lemo?" said Andy looking around the large grounds that were reserved for the Quidditch World Cup.
"Drew! Andy! Saucy! Look who I found wandering round!" said Lemo returning from her mosey through the crowds dragging with her Cheesy, Banana, Jub Sheep, Don Wheezy and Lotte Tegan.
"BUDDIES!" she exclaimed throwing her arms around Cheesy and Banana and patting Don, Jub and Lotte on the head.
"The more the merrier" said Sirius poking his head out side the tent flaps and grinning when he spotted Lotte among the group of friends, before he popped back inside the tent.
"He's never gonna let me forget what happened at that party is he?" Lotte asked Barry sorrowfully,
"Well, knowing Sirius, nope, sorry" Barry said with mock concern.
"So people, what are we planning on doing whist here together on this fine day of days?" asked Cheesy,
"Well, we could go for a walk and see who else is her or we could—"
"Help Sirius clean the tent!" interrupted Sirius smiling hopefully. Everyone looked at Sirius doubtfully.
"Aw, come on! Ok, I'm going to pick volunteers, Barry, Lemo and Lotte. The rest of you guys are free from Serious Keller, Ok?" ordered Sirius stepping outside the tent and holding the flap open for Barry, Lemo and Lotte who grudgingly went inside.
"What the f?" said Lemo, looking around her in awe.
From the outside the tent looked as if it would barely hold three people but from the inside it was the size of a 3 bedroom apartment.
"Ok, Lemo you can go and dust, Barry you can clean down the kitchen, and Lotte you can help me put sheets on beds" Sirius instructed, Lemo sniggered and Barry grinned at Lotte's look of utter frustration.

"Hurry up! My hair's getting wet! What are you? Snails?" shouted Andrew over the noise of the Quidditch World Cup crowd.
"You and your precious hair! Yelled Andy in frustration
"Just move it guys! We have one more set of stairs to climb yet" called Sirius from the back of the line.
"Whoa, freaky! Hey saucy, seen how high up we are?" Lemo exclaimed gingerly shuffling towards the railings. Barry sneaked behind her and grabbed her waist and shrieked "Saved you life!" Lemo screamed, and hit Barry on the arm.
"That's not funny Barry Saucepan!" pouted Lemo
"LADIES ANNNNND GENTLEMEN! WELCOME TO THE 456 QUIDDITCH WORLD CUP!"
Shouted the voice of the Commentator, Loody Bagman,
"LET THE MATCH BEGIN!"
