There was a big party going in the Gryffindor common room tonight. Harley wasn't exactly sure what they were celebrating but did they really need a reason?

There were drinks and tons of snacks and everyone was having a good time before Lavian shouted out, "Everyone, let's play a game!"

The Gryffindors crowded around Lavian who held up an empty butterbeer bottle in his hand. "How about a game of spin the bottle?"

"What's that?" Rhonda asked.

"I heard about it over the summer. Everyone sits in a circle and someone spins the bottle. Whoever it lands on has to kiss the person who spun the bottle."

Harley blushed and cast a sideways glance at a grinning Gene. She had had a crush on Gene for two years now, but Gene never saw her as anything more than his sister's friend and a fellow Quidditch team mate.

Lavian saw the hesitation on everyone's faces and said, "Come on. It'll be fun."

They all sat on the common room rug in a circle like the brown-haired boy had said. He placed the bottle in the middle and said, "I'll go first." He spun the bottle and everyone waited with baited breath before it landed on Rhonda.

Rhonda's eyes widened as Lavian walked up to her. Out of the corner of her eyes, Harley noticed Herman stiffen and then look away from the upcoming contact. It was a good thing too. The pair were practically eating each others faces and no one felt comfortable watching them. Parker threw a pillow at Lavian's head, forcing the two to separate. Lavian was grinning widely but Rhonda was blushing.

"That was... entertaining," Gene said before grabbing the bottle. Harley heard Herman mutter, "That's not the word I would have used."

"My turn!" the redhead shouted. He spun the bottle forcefully and Harley had mixed feelings. If it landed on her, then she and Gene would share their first kiss. But then if it did, she'd probably embarrass herself miserably.

"And... Harley!" Lavian shouted.

Harley's eyes widened as she came back to reality. She saw Gene lean over and whisper, "Don't worry, Harley. It'll be quick and painless." Harley smiled shyly. Yea, painless.

They leaned into each other, Harley's heart beating out of her chest and she wondered if Gene could hear it. There were only a few centimetres apart but then Harley leaned too far over and smashed her head into Gene's.

Gene jumped back in pain, holding his forehead, as she was doing the same. Harry said frantically, "I'm so sorry, Gene. Please forgive me."

Gene smiled weakly, "Don't worry, Harley. It's just a little bump. We've been hit with bludgers harder than this, right?"

Harley nodded, but she was still slightly embarrassed. Just as she thought, she would make a fool of herself.

The game continued for a few more turns. Deana had ended up having to kiss Shea, and Noelle had to kiss Lavian who seemed a bit put out that it hadn't been Rhonda.

Everyone was heading off to bed when Gene called Harley back. Harley came up to his and said, "I'm so sorry again, Gene. It was a complete accident."

Gene laughed and said, "I know, Harley. But I called you over because I just remembered something." Gene leaned down and gave her a chaste kiss on the lips before pulling away. He smiled at her before saying, "Goodnight, Harley."

Harley blushed and replied, "Goodnight, Gene."
