A/N: Sorry for the long break in updates but I'm back! There is drug use in this chap. Just warning you.
It was New Year's eve and Ron, Mimi and Neville were gathered outside there apartment Seamus had been kind enough to last night padlock there door also putting a couple of spells that made it impossible to get in. "Well here we are at the breaking back into the building party! Thank you Seamus!" Neville narrated into his camera. Then pointing the camera and Ron and Mimi who were trying so hard to get the door open.
"It won't budge! Not with a single spell!" Mimi complained prying at the door. "Careful" Ron warned she then fell backwards into his arms and started laughing. "You know who gives a crap I got you!" She smiled and kissed him.
"Now ain't that just the cutest thing!" Neville continued. Mimi flipped him off after she broke the kiss. "Oh that hurts so much Meems" Neville pouted. She just rolled her eyes. "You know where is everyone?" He wondered out loud.
"Well maybe their dressing, I mean what does one wear to a party that's also a crime?" Of course then Ginny showed up sans Harry. Apparently they had a little tiff that wasn't so little and separated possibly.
"Chips anyone?" She asked holding out a bag of chips to anyone who would take and was wearing..... A black, pleather, catsuit? "Well you can take the girl out of Hicksville, But you can't take the Hicksville out of the girl." Neville stated filming the her. "Hey my riot got you on the news, I deserve a royalty"
Mimi quickly jumped in "Be nice you two or no awful firewhisky." This changed Ginny's mind "Don't mind if I do!" She took a bottle from the case Mimi had been holding. Of course it was a choice moment for Dean and Luna to appear. Mimi went back to Ron and Neville started filming Luna and Dean "So who are you supposed to be?" He asked.
"Bond, James Bond" Dean answered in a suave tone before Luna jumped in front of the camera "And Pussy Galore! In person."
"Nice very, nice" Neville said.
Ginny approached Ron and Mimi "So any luck with the door?" "Nope bolted Plywood, padlock and lots of charms" Ron ticked off on his fingers to his sister. "Total dead end" He finished.
She sighed "Like my ex boyfriend, hang on a moment" She pulled out a cell phone Harry had bought for her to keep in touch she dialed the number.
Ginny:
Honey
I know your there...
Please pick up the phone
Are you okay?
It's not funny
It's not fair
How can I atone?
Are you okay?
I lose control
But I can learn to behave
Give me one more chance
Let me be your slave.
Of course Ginny didn't know Harry had appareted right behind her.
Ginny:
I'll kiss your Doc Martens
Let me kiss your Doc Martens
Your every wish I will obey!
Harry spoke into her ear "That might be okay, Down girl." He pushed Ginny so that she was sitting on the pavement "Heel.... Stay" Before walking over to Neville who couldn't suppress his laughter. "I did a bit of research down at the ministry technically your squatters there is hope." Then pulling something out of his jacket they exclaimed in unison "Rope!"
Neville had a plan of getting back into the building "We can hoist a line"
"To the fire escape and tie off at" Harry interjected but couldn't figure out to tie the rope till "That bench!" They both practically shouted. "I can't take them as chums..." Ginny muttered "Start hoisting... Wench" Harry laughed. Ginny just rolled her eyes.
Ron was holding onto Mimi's shoulders laughing loudly while Mimi giggled. They both were having a great time. There was only a few minutes left till midnight Harry and Neville had there plan of action set and it would be a few minutes be back in the building.
Time had passed plan was in action they all started counting "5,4,3,2,1 open sesame!" They all called as the door came crashing down. They all cheered and headed up to the loft where they all settled on to the threadbare furniture but a patronus appeared in the shape of a Fox. "Neville Longbottom Rita Skeeter from Buzzline!" "That show is so sleazy!" He complained but the patronus continued. "Your footage of the riot A-1, Ker-ching, Ker-ching! I'm sending you a contract! You can return a patronus to Buzzline!" The patronus disappeared with a pop.
"You know I think we need an agent." Ginny commented "We?" Neville questioned Neville. "Thats selling out" Harry piped up. "But it's nice to dream" Neville said turning out his empty pockets. "Yeah it's Wiz- TV and it's all thanks to me!" Ginny exclaimed. "Somehow I think I smell the wiff of a scheme." Neville said nervously." "Me To" Harry finished.
"We can plan another protest!" Ginny said the ideas already forming in her head. "We?!" Harry looked at her incredulously. Ginny ingnored him and looked straight at Neville. "This time you can shoot from the start" She then turned to Harry "You'll direct starring me!!!" She exclaimed. Neville groaned but Ginny was to happy. Moments later the conversation went to New Years resolutions. "So Mimi what are your New Years resolutions?" Neville asked as he rewound his camera to film her.
"I'm giving up my vices, I'm gonna get a real job." She said pushing hair out of her face. Before they could move on the door slid open they obviously had forgotten to lock it.
All the wizards turned to see the friend turned enemy "Seamus?" They all said in unison. "So I see you've beaten me to the punch." He said dusting off his cloak and approaching the group. "How did you know we would be here?" Ron asked angrily and Mimi's face flushed. "I had a hunch" He said simply then sat on the edge of the couch Ron and Mimi were settled in. "Your not mad?" Neville asked. "I'm here to end this war, it's a shame you went and destroyed the door." Seamus looked the group over. Mimi looked at him "Why the sudden about face?" She asked her face burning. Seamus grinned "The credit is yours you made a good case." "What case?" Ron snapped. "Mimi came to see me and she had much to say." He smiled.
Mimi was getting really angry at Seamus "That's not how you put it all yesterday!" she snapped. "I couldn't stop thinking about the whole mess, Neville you want to get this on film" He pointed to Neville who just rolled his eyes "I guess"
"I regret the circumstances these past twenty four hours" Seamus got up and started pacing the loft. But Ron stood in front of him stopping him in his tracks "Circumstance? You padlocked our door!"
"And it's with great pleasure on behalf of Cyberarts that I hand you this key." Seamus continued and walked around Ron.
"Golf claps!" Luna said sarcastically. Just then Neville spoke up "I have no juice in my battery. Seamus then snapped at him "Reshoot!" "Oh I see this is a photo opportunity" he joked. Ginny stood at her brother's side before speaking. "The benevolent God ushers the poor artists back to their flat were you planning on taking down the barbed wire from the lot too?" Ron looked at her "Anything but that!" Seamus ignored the siblings act and continued. "Clearing the lot was a safety concern we break ground this month but you can return."
"So that's why your here with people you hate instead of with Muffy, at Muffy's estate"
"I'd honestly rather be with you tonight then in Westport" Seamus rambled on before Ron stopped him "Spare us old sport the soundbite"
This was the last straw for Seamus he didn't want it to come to this but they left him no choice. "Mimi... Since your ways are so seductive.." He didn't finish because Mimi got up from her chair and she stood right in front of him "You came onto me!" She shouted. "Persuade him not to be so counterproductive" Seamus responded to her outburst coolly. Ron on the other hand "Liar!" he shouted
"Why not tell him what you wore to my place" Seamus said raising a single eyebrow. Mimi put up a defense "I was on my way to work!"
"Black leather and lace! My desk was a mess I think I'm still sore" Seamus was on the verge of shouting. Mimi's eyes were getting a little teary but she still was standing strong "I kicked him and told him I wasn't his whore!" She yelled. Ron was backing away he looked heartbroken. Seamus looked at Mimi and Ron "Does your boyfriend know who your last boyfriend was?" This caused Ron to snap 'I'm not her boyfriend I don't care what she does."
Mimi started crying lightly Luna went and embraced her friend "People is this any way to start the New Year? Have compassion Seamus just lost his cat"
"My dog but I appreciate that" Seamus said. "My cat had a fall and I went thru Hell!" Luna said trying to comfort him "It's like losing a... How did you know she fell." A silence fell over the loft and Luna's pale face blushed before Dean spoke up "Firewhisky?" he offered a bottle to Seamus. "Don't mind if I do.. To dogs!" He raised his bottle but the bohemians said annoyed "No Seamus to you!" Seamus then left the loft.
Luna:
Lets make a resolution
Mimi:
I'll drink to that

Ron:

All:

Ron:

Luna:
It's gonna be a Happy New Year!
Ron looked at Mimi then she returned the gaze she stilled had tears on her cheeks. "I'm Sorry" They said at the same time. He kissed the top of her forehead. "Well goodnight" She said and walked out the door of the loft to her own flat below. She took out her stash and prepared a needle hoping to make the pain of this night disappear. "It's gonna be a Happy New Year" She muttered as the needle injected her causing a brief spasm of pain that soon dissolved into her high.
