Hello! Just letting you know about this chapter, I AM NOT PROMOTING TEEN DRINKING.

New years Eve.

Christmas had come and gone, Lily and her friends were all with their respective family's celebrating the holidays, at the moment Lily was in her room curling her untameable hair and putting her favourite muggle red lipstick on, it was by Maybelline and Miranda Kerr, Lily's muggle idol wore it.

She was getting ready for the New Year's Eve party at Vincent's place, his parents were away for the new year on a trip around Spain, as Lily applied her foundation magically she thought about tonight, she'd had a hard week with a Pixie and Bella being nasty to her before the holidays and she just wanted to let go, Vincent suggested alcohol, which she had agreed too quite easily, maybe Vincent would notice her tonight she hoped.

"Lily! Vincent's here!" her mother called, her mother was incredibly beautiful with her long and bright red hair. Ginny Potter was a Quidditch player for the famous women's team, the Holyhead Harpies.

As Lily went downstairs her mother smiled and said "you look beautiful", and she really did. Lily looked like a cross between her Grandma Lily, and her mother Ginny. She had Lily Evan's token red hair and her pale skin, and Ginny's eyes and nose.

"Come on Lil, it's time to go" Vincent urged, as they both stepped into the Potter's large fireplace Lily caught her mother's glance looking happy that lily was getting out. Lily was usually quite happy to just stay at home and read books in her room, or play with their family dog

Lily hated the churning feeling of travelling by Floo powder, but soon Vincent's house came into view and they both stepped out, the living room which was where the fireplace was, was massive. There were paintings covering the walls, with large portraits of Vincent's family dating back to the 1700s. his family back in those days, and just before his father was born, was into inbreeding as they did not want the pureblood race to die out and be diluted with muggle-borns and half-bloods.

"The party isn't at my house tonight, it's been moved to Lars Zabini's house" Vincent informed Lily, which was a shame considering the size of Vincent's house compared to Lars's house.

"Oh, ok" Lily replied quietly, she had a bit of a thing with Lars last year, for three days. He had tried to pressure her into dating him, but the most she would do was hook up with him at lunch and after school, all they ever really did was make out, and making out with him was disgusting. It was a jellyfish moving around her mouth, a day later she sent him a letter saying that she'd never like him in that way and that he should leave her alone, that's what Vincent told her to do, so she did it.

"Lily! You're here!" Bella smiled, it was obvious that she'd changed her attitude in the last week towards her friend.

"Hey Bella" Lily said timidly, and with that they were leaving the house, Vincent's house was massive. It was a typical pureblood mansion with the large grounds surrounding it, and ivy covering the walls.

"Pixie's not coming; she said her mum wasn't letting her go out tonight" Bella told Lily and Vincent, Pixie's mum, Lavender, was usually fairly easy going with letting her children to stuff.

"Oh, that sucks" Lily replied, her mind somewhere else,

"Don't worry Lil, Meg's there with him, I think they're dating." Vincent told her quietly as they made their way through the streets to Lars's house, they could have gone through the fireplace but none of them wanted to be covered in soot.

When they got to Lars's house there was only three other people there, Meg Parkinson, Lars Zabini and Liam Montague, Liam was Vincent's friend that had dropped out of Hogwarts, it was rumoured that he was moving to somewhere in Russia in a few months.

"Hey guys" Vincent greeted everyone, Liam and Lars nodded. They had already started drinking, whilst Meg smiled and got up, she was always the friendly girl in school, but she'd dropped out and started working in childcare for the young wizards and witches.

"So, I've gotten this muggle drink, it's called Vodka. Have you heard of it?" Meg asked as she went to the bar fridge, Vodka was the famous Russian muggle drink.

"Yeah, I've heard of it" Lily replied nicely, she'd seen it a lot but never drunk it. Tonight was her first time drinking alcohol.

"No, I don't think so" Bella added, Bella wasn't very aware of some things in the muggle world.

As Meg passed them the Vodka, Lily looked at the title; it said "summer fun". The colouring on the outside of the bottle was interesting; it was very bright and appealing with lots of colours.

"Weird," she thought, "seen as its winter", Lily looked at the colour of it, it was red, and then sculled the whole bottle,

"Shit! Lil, you're supposed to drink it slowly" Vincent snorted; he'd been drunk a lot before and had much more experience with alcohol than Lily.

Lily already felt her mind going fuzzy and her eyes out of focus, and she stumbled back to her chair, she giggled and looked at Vincent and said "Baaa! Hahahahahaha sheep's go baa!". The vodka was affecting her brain quite quickly.

Liam and Meg nodded at each other and said, "She's gone".

As the hours went on, with Lily, Vincent and Bella getting drunker, Lily felt her mobile mirror vibrate,

"Hahahaha it's vibrating" Lily giggled and saw Pixie's name come up,

"Hahahahahahahaha hello pixie" Lily slurred,

"Hey Lil," she greeted with a background of "Hiiiii Lily!" coming from Cedric Chang,

"Ooooh Pix! Are you and Ced dating?" Lily giggled again, Cedric was Bella's cousin. Whilst Bella's mum was Cho Chang, Cedric's mother was Marian Chang. In their culture, the men took the women's names.

"Give me the phone Lily" Vincent demanded, as he began to talk to Pixie and Cedric.

A few more hours went on and she realised that she was upstairs with Vincent; Bella had just fallen in the bathtub, and Meg was attempting to pull her up and out of it. It was lucky that Bella hadn't hurt herself.

"Okay guys! TIME TO GO" Lars roared, Lars was never the fun type of guy. He always got annoyed when others were having fun and he wasn't.

"What a prick" Lily mumbled, and suddenly they were on the streets again, Bella was on Liam's back, too sick to walk, whilst Lily and Meg had their arms around Vincent as he was falling over,

Suddenly a loud retching noise came from behind; as they turned around they saw Bella vomiting in a bush, with Liam holding her hair back. The owners in that yard where Bella had vomited in a bush wouldn't be happy when they found it.

"Gross" Lily mumbled.
