Yo! So, this is the Halloween chapter! If you want to remember what the dresses looked like, check out Chapter 7. You know, Hogsmeade. The chapter that had quite a few mistakes because I was tired as bloody hell when I wrote it. That one.
So. Yeah. Enjoy. I just realized that I forgot to give credit to J. K. Rowling, so I shall do that now. Every character besides my own (Hui, Lana, Chase, etc.) belong to her, only the story line is mine. Actually, I got the back in time idea from other people. So the plot is mine. What's the diff?
Previous Chapter
"Remus, get out out of the way!" Hermione exclaimed right before banishing the gunk in Sirius' direction. Remus dove out of the way just as Sirius and James held up their hands in defense.
The entire hall burst out in laughter as the two of them slid to the ground. Sirius tried to get up, but he slipped in the slime and fell on his face again. James was looking for his glasses. The entire hall was laughing so hard that it must have echoed around Hogwarts.
"Hermione! That was brilliant!" Lily exclaimed, rushing over to her. "But I'm still covered in slime."
"That's fine. Just take a shower," Hermione said as calmly as possible, standing up. "Let's go. You can take one in my dorm."
Hermione and Lily spent an hour getting ready, which Hermione thought was a bit ridiculous.
"I mean, this isn't anything important, really," Hermione reasoned, clipping her earrings onto her ears.
"Just shut up and put on your dress," Lily said. Hermione put on the dress. She still couldn't decide what color it was- Silver, gold, bronze, or a shiny white. It fit tight over her body.
The two of them were getting ready in Lily's bathroom, which was pretty much like Hermione's, except there was a bigger bathtub.
"These heels are weird," Lily muttered.
"What, you've never worn heels before?"
"I have, it's just that these are really tall."
"That doesn't make them weird."
"It does for me, okay?"
Lily was freaking out. She was paranoid that something bad was going to happen. Later that night, Hermione would realize that Lily was a little more than right, but that was later.
"I'm staying in my room most of the time. The pool is pretty deep, so I need to make sure no one drowns."
"Life guard?"
"Yes, actually. I had to make muggle money somehow, and I got lessons on how to be one."
"I can take over for a few moments."
"Don't. I already have Hui on the case, and she's had training too."
"Well," Hermione said in a hurt tone, placing a hand over her heart. "I'm sorry that I'm not professionally trained."
Lily gave her a small smile, but her eyes still looked a bit worried.
They did full turns in the mirror, Hermione's dress reflecting Lily's dark blue hue.
"You look amazing," they said at the same time. They laughed and smiled at each other.
"Let's get out there," Lily said. "I think Potter's letting people in, now."
Sure enough, when they got out into the main entrance hall, it was filled with people dancing to the music under the light of the disco ball. Rainbow lights floated among the walls, and it was a bit hard to see.
"Better get to my room, I already see people in bathing suits," Lily muttered. "You go check out the place, and tell me how it is."
"Sure thing."
They left each other, and as soon as they did, Lana found her. Her blonde friend with the large grey eyes was dressed up as an angel, with the short dress and high heels. She looked pretty.
"Hey, 'Mione!" she said, walking towards her. "Your costume is totes cute."
"Thanks, I think," Hermione said, not used to the way that Lana talked. "I love you costume, too."
"Where the hell did ya get this? What color is it? Holy shit, it's beautiful."
"Thanks- I got it at Beastly's. A bit hard to catch, it was sort of hard to notice."
"Damn! It's really cool, I wish I had seen it!"
Before waiting for Hermione to say something, she went ahead and started to talk again.
"Hey, look! Spin the Bottle! We are totes playing," she said, giggling. "It's in Potter's room. I heard some hotties are gonna be playing."
"I'm not playing spin the bottle," Hermione said under her breath.
"Come on!" Lana said, pulling her. "Just because Lily isn't here doesn't mean that you have to be a loner. Meet some new people, and all that jazz."
"It's a revolting game! I'm not playing."
"Please?"
"No!"
"Please?"
"No!"
"Pleeeeeeeeeaaaassseeee?"
"NO!"
"Fine, fine. Just go have some punch, then. I'm telling you, Black's not even playing this round. He's probably getting it on in a closet. You definitely won't have to make out with him."
"I'm not playing that game, Lana," Hermione said with a sigh. "None of the Marauders are playing," Hermione noted.
"Well, James loves Lily, Remus is mature, and Peter knows that he shouldn't play at all. Sirius usually always plays, unless-"
"Yes, unless he's, ah, 'getting it on'. I heard."
"I'll be in the circle," she said, whipping out of sight into the crowd. Hermione sighed and made her way to the punch table. There were two bowls, one with more liquid than the other. She took to one with less, because that must have meant it was the good one. She took a sip of it. A sharp, unfamiliar taste filled her head.
"That's some strong punch," Hermione said, but she loved it. She finished the whole cup and got another- And that's when the world started to spin.
.../oOo\...
Sirius got out of the broom closet, motorcycle helmet rolling out, panting slightly.
"Wow, Sirius!" Lyn breathed, fixing her microphone. She was this muggle pop star with way to much make-up. As usual. "That... was amazing."
"I know. Catch you later," he said, scooping his helmet up and ducking out of there. He didn't even hear her complain.
"I just got with the hot brunette," Sirius announced as soon as he found James, Remus, and Peter. James was a boxer, shirt off. Remus persuaded James to keep away from the oil, but Sirius thought it would have been a nice touch. Peter was a muggle magician, with the hat and black and white stick. Remus was dressed as a muggle baseball player. Sirius himself was a biker, leather jacket and jeans. He personally thought that his costume was the best.
"Nice," James said, taking a sip of the punch. "Sheesh, Padfoot. You seriously put loads of alcohol in that punch."
"A whole bottle and a half of firewhiskey. More whiskey than punch."
"You put the lables down, though, right?" Remus said.
"Yes, Moony," he muttered, rolling his eyes. "Not really. But any moron would be able to tell the difference."
Suddenly, someone crashed into Sirius, knocking him into Peter.
"Hey!" he snapped. "Watch it!"
"Sorry!" a girl's voice came, and laughter followed it.
"No, it's totally fine. What's your name?" he said in a deeper tone, offering her a hand.
"I... don't know!" she squealed, standing up. Her curls swept away from her, revealing her face. Sirius sneered, disappointed.
"What are you doing here, Alden?" he said, backing away in disgust.
"I don't know!" she laughed. There was something off about her. She wasn't... right.
"Hermione, are you alright?" Remus asked, brow furrowed.
"Who's Hermione?" she slurred. Remus cursed out loud, which was very unlike him.
"Moony!" James said, pretending to be offended, placing a hand over his heart.
"She's drunk!" he exclaimed. "Sirius, I told you to put labels beside the bowls!"
"It's not my fault she's an idiot!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Are... Are you Sirius?" Hermione said, nearly tripping over her own costume. She looked like some goddess, or something. Her dress made Sirius' head spin; he couldn't decide what color it was. She looked... Terrible, Sirius thought in his head. And nothing but that.
"Yeah," he sneered.
"You're not Sirius!" she yelled for no reason. "Sirius is... what's a Sirius again?"
"You are so dumb," Sirius muttered.
"She's drunk!" Remus exclaimed.
"Chill down. So is half of the party."
"Oh! I remember! Sirius is really mean, but he's really good looking!"
Sirius snorted. "That, coming from you, is-"
"But," Hermione interrupted, holding up a finer, "He's really mean. So that means that, that, his looks dropped by, like, seventy percent."
"Hey! Shut up!" Sirius exclaimed as James laughed. Hermione looked Sirius straight in the eye and made a face of disgust.
"Oh, god. At least he's better looking than you," she sneered. Sirius glared at her as James, Remus, and Peter burst into laughter.
"La, la, la, la, la, llama," Hermione sang, spinning in circles. "Spinning is fun."
Sirius almost snorted, but then he remembered that he wasn't supposed to.
"How'd you get this drunk?" Remus asked.
"I'm drunk?" Hermione asked. "Are you sure?"
"Quite sure," James said, laughing. Over the past couple of weeks, James had stopped bullying Hermione so much, just as they usually did with the usual nerd. They would get bored and find a new one. He was actually rather pleasant to Hermione, especially after finding out that she and Lily were best friends. Not Sirius, though.
"No, I'm not," Hermione pouted, putting her hands on her hips.
"Hermione, how old are you?" asked Remus.
"Eight. Teen," Hermione added.
"So she's of age," Remus said, but he didn't seem any less worried.
"She's eighteen?" Peter asked.
"That's what she just said."
"Isn't that... Like, old?"
"Seventh years are seventeen to eighteen."
"Oh."
"Wait- I think I'm nineteen," Hermione slurred.
"No, you're not," Remus said. "That's impossible, unless you're a year behind."
"She probably is, dumb bitch."
Remus smacked Sirius' arm. "Hermione, when were you born?"
"September."
"No, what year?"
"19."
"19 what?"
"19."
"'Mione, you're going to have to give me more information than that."
"What do you expect? She's drunk," James said.
"1980!" Hermione exclaimed. "I was born in, on, in, 1980."
"No you weren't," Remus said tiredly. "It's not even 1980 now."
"You're... you're right," she said, eyes wide and darting from place to place. The way her dress reflected the lights made her face glow.
"I was born in 1979. Silly me."
"This is..." Remus groaned, rubbing his eyes.
"She can handle herself," James reasoned.
"Exactly. Go away, Alden."
"My name isn't Alden."
"Not your first name."
"My last name isn't Alden!" Hermione yelled in his ear. Sirius winced and pushed her away.
"Shut up," Sirius groaned. "Your voice is so annoying."
"My name isn't Alden!" Hermione repeated.
"Okay, Hermione. Your name is not Alden," Remus said calmly. "Just relax."
"How can I relax? There's a war going on!"
"What the hell is she talking about?"
"Gee, I don't know. She can't possibly be drunk," Remus said sarcastically.
"The war! With Volde-"
Remus put a hand over her mouth, looking around frantically.
"Sheesh, Hermione! You just can't shout his name!"
"Fear of the name only increases fear for the thing itself," Hermione said smartly, placing her hands on her hips.
"That's pretty wise, considering she's drunk," James noted. Hermione shrieked in delight and started to jump up and down, clapping her hands.
"I love this song!" Hermione squealed. All four of them paused to listen to the song that was playing.
"It is pretty good," Remus said.
"Who picked The Beatles?" James asked. Sirius raised a hand in pride.
"Nice," James said, extending his fist for a fist bump.
"I think the White Album's up next," Sirius added.
"Even after twenty years they broke up, they're still really good," Hermione smiled. Remus, James, and Remus all looked at her in confusion. Peter being the only one who didn't know who The Beatles were, stood there awkwardly.
"It hasn't even been ten years, dumbass," Sirius said.
"They broke up in 1970," James said quickly before Remus could say anything.
"Oh," Hermione said, but she had this look of confusion on her face. "But right now it's, like, 1998. Or 1999. I dunno."
"It's 1977 now," James said.
"Didn't John Lennon die?"
"He's still alive!" Sirius exclaimed, rolling his eyes. "Right? Someone tell me I'm right."
"You're right," Remus said, patting Sirius on the shoulder. Remus then turned to Hermione.
"He's still alive."
"No! He died! On December... seventh, was it? 1980!"
"No he didn't," Remus said, but Sirius could see him losing patience.
"It's like she's living in the future," James grumbled.
"No!" Hermione insisted. "He's dead! I know he is! And you're supposed to be dead too! And you!" Hermione said, first poking James on the forehead, then Sirius.
"Now she's talking crazy talk," James muttered, but Sirius had this feeling in his gut that Hermione wasn't ranting.
"How did James die?" Sirius asked as politely as possible. The other three stared at him like he was insane.
"Voldemort!" Hermione said, rolling her eyes, like it was obvious. "Oh, and you're dead, too. And you," Hermione said, pointing at Remus and Peter. She gave the four boys a big smile before turning around, spinning in circles again.
"Voldemort, Voldemort, ooo Voldy Voldy Voldy Voldemort!" Hermione sang to the tune of that 'Lollipop' song.
"Hermione, be quiet! People can hear you!" Remus exclaimed. "She's acting like he's a joke!"
"Everything's a joke to a drunk person."
"Byeeeeeeeee," she trailed off, skipping away. "I have places to see and people to be... Or something like that."
They all stared at her in shock as she skipped away, Sirius being the first to speak.
Sirius smirked. "Dumb cunt."
Remus followed her, pushing through James and Sirius.
"Hey! Moony!" Sirius said.
"Just making sure she doesn't do anything stupid!" Remus shouted. Sirius rolled his eyes as he followed him.
"She's heading to Lily's room," Sirius noted.
"Good. Then, at least Lily will be able to keep an eye on- her," Remus said, stopping short and ending in a soft voice. How Hermione had stripped herself down to her bathing suit and jumped in the pool in the five seconds that they weren't there, Sirius had no idea. But there she was, in her black bikini, screaming at the top of her lungs. Everyone was looking at her like she was a crazy lunatic. Which she sort of was, Sirius reminded himself. He had to force himself not to look in certain places.
Remus scoped the room. "There," he said. Lily was indeed face-palming herself so hard it looked like she was going to break her nose.
"Remus!" Lily said, spotting him. She walked over them, hopping over someone who was unconscious on the bridge.
"What on earth is wrong with Hermione?" she asked, pointing to her. Sirius glanced over- she was currently laughing at something one of the Hufflepuff guys had said, and she was twirling her hair and cocking her head, looking at them the way that blondes looked at Sirius.
"Padfoot didn't put labels next to the punch bowls and she took the one with alcohol," Remus explained, twitching a bit at the sight of her flirting with the Hufflepuffs. Sirius thought that he didn't have a chance- both Hufflepuffs, one black haired and the other blonde, were rocking six packs.
Lily made a face of disgust at Sirius.
"Black, I am going to-"
She was interrupted by the sound of Hermione laughing hysterically, a laugh that certainly wasn't Hermione's. They looked over, and one of the Hufflepuffs had wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer towards him.
"Okay, that's enough," Remus said, totally red in the face. He took a step towards the two of them, but Sirius stopped him.
"Let go!" Remus said frantically.
"What are you going to do, just pull them apart?"
"Yeah, maybe!"
"You don't own her!" Sirius said a bit angrily.
"Neither do you! Do you think she'd really be doing this if she wasn't drunk?"
"Calm down, you two. Black, shut up."
"Hey! What about Moony?"
"He's not a complete moron!"
"Look what's he's doing!" Remus yelled. The Hufflepuff, who Sirius suddenly remembered as Justin, had his fingers enclosed on the strings of her top.
"Okay, okay, people! No nudity in the pool!" Lily called over. Hermione spun around at the sound of her voice.
"Lily!" Hermione laughed, breaking free of Justin. He yelled after her, and then glared at Lily before going to chase after some other drunk girl.
"Hi!" Hermione giggled, swimming towards them. "I like your bathing suit, Hui."
"Hui- Hui isn't here."
"Okay, Lana."
"Ugh," Lily said, closing her eyes. "Who's idea was it to put alcohol in the drinks?"
"Guilty," Sirius said. Lily smacked his arm.
"Does anyone have a sobering potion around?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, I do. It's right next to the cactus I keep on me at all times. What do you think?" Sirius said sarcastically, shrugging off his leather jacket.
"What are you doing?" Lily asked, making a face as he took off his shirt.
"Why, is it illegal for me to swim?" Sirius said.
"In my pool, it might be."
"Moony, go get the other two," Sirius said. Remus looked a bit reluctant to leave Hermione.
"I got her!" Lily said, looking at his concerned expression. Sirius rolled his eyes as he backed up, Remus finally leaving.
"What- No. No, no, no, Black-"
Sirius ran forward, tucking in his knees. He didn't see or hear anything as he hit the water, but he was sure that it made a giant splash.
Sure enough, as he broke the surface, anyone within a ten feet radius was soaked. A girl was screaming how her hair was ruined.
"If you're in a pool, expect to get wet," Sirius said with a smirk to everyone who was complaining. He swam over to Lily and Hermione.
"What are you doing here?" Lily snapped, holding onto Hermione's wrist. She was struggling to get free.
"What's Alden so hyper about?" Sirius asked, ignoring her question.
"I don't know, but she just wants to- OW!" Lily cried, letting go of Hermione's wrist and grabbing her shin. Hermione was off, swimming towards the end of the pool. Sirius had no idea how she did it, but she could swim really fast.
"She kicked me!" Lily exclaimed, looking at Hermione, who was at the end of the pool, waving at her. Lily groaned, swimming after her. Lily couldn't swim as fast, as far as Sirius could tell. He knew that Lily would never catch her. Sure enough, as soon as Hermione saw Lily coming her way, she dove underwater and headed towards the hot tub part of the pool.
"Evans! Just get out of the pool and walk over to her!" Sirius called, but he didn't hear her. He just rolled his eyes and leaned against the pool wall. Sure enough, as soon as he did, a little group of Hufflepuffs and a Ravenclaw came to greet him. They were all blonde and giggly, except for the Ravenclaw. She had black hair and blue eyes.
"Heeeeeyyy, Sirius," one of them said, batting her eyes.
"Yo," a voice said from behind him, slipping into the pool next to him. It was James- the only thing he really had to do was take off his boxing gloves. His shorts doubled as swim trunks. Remus was next to him, looking for Hermione.
"Evans' chasing her around the pool," Sirius explained quickly, turning away from the girls.
"Lily's here? In a bathing suit? Be right back," James said, going off to look for her. Sirius laughed.
"What do we do?" Remus asked.
"We wait for the show."
"What show?"
Sirius didn't need to answer him. Out of nowhere, Hermione jumped into the pool, splashing both Sirius and Remus. When she broke the surface, she was laughing. Lily followed her, lowering herself into the pool.
"How much alcohol did you put in that punch?" Lily yelled at Sirius before heading towards Hermione, who was swimming in circles and laughing at the same time.
"Get away, Ginny!" Hermione laughed, backing away.
"I'm- Not- Ginny, whoever that is!"
Hermione just laughed as she paddled over to Remus, hiding behind him. He looked a bit stunned at the girl behind him, peeking out from behind his shoulder.
"Is she gone?" she said, looking suspiciously side to side. Hermione caught hold of Lily advancing on them, and she shrieked. She jumped on Remus' back and looped her arms around his neck.
"Piggy back ride! Go, piggy!" Hermione yelled. Remus, red in the face, wasn't sure what to do. Sirius had no choice but to laugh.
"Hi Evans!" James yelled, bursting out from the water right behind her, wearing ridiculous multi-colored goggles. Lily screeched and spun around.
"It's disappointing that you didn't wear a bikini," James said, taking his goggles off and flinging them to the side, "But I still like it."
"Get away, you creep!" Lily exclaimed. "I'm trying to get Hermione!"
Sirius directed his attention back to Hermione and Remus. Hermione was still on his back, laughing as Remus spun in circles, trying to get her off.
Hermione slid off his back, diving under water. Suddenly, Remus' feet were swept out from underneath him, and his head went underwater. Hermione burst up, and it was clear that she had tripped Remus by the mischievous look on her face. Remus broke the surface soon after her, brushing his hair out of his face.
Lily backed away from James and hurried towards Hermione. Hermione swam to the side and towards James. Lily groaned.
"Hermione, would you please get over here?" Lily yelled tiredly. Hermione must have lost her balance as she was swim-walking, and she elbowed James in the face quite hard. Sirius laughed. He laughed even harder when he saw James slip under the water, seeming to be unconscious. It took Sirius a few moments to realize that he was unconscious.
"What's with Potter?" Lily asked, a concerned look on her face.
Sirius headed over to James, plunging under the water. Where James was, it was very deep- at least twelve feet.
"I can't swim that deep!" Sirius said, beginning to panic.
Lily didn't wait for anything else- She just rolled her eyes and dove underwater. Sirius could see a blurry form pick up another blurry form and drag him to the surface. Lily broke the surface, James' arm around her shoulder, his glasses somehow still on his face.
"Help me! He's too heavy!" Lily cried, head bobbing in and out of the water. Sirius swam over and helped Lily carry to the tiled ground, Remus being in control of Hermione. She was trying to escape again, but Remus kept a firm grip on her wrist.
They dragged him onto the ground, James knocked out cold. Lily shook James' shoulder.
"Potter. Are you there?" she said in a loud, clear voice. No answer.
"What, did you expect him to suddenly wake up?"
"It's apart of the sequence for CPR, moron," Lily snapped, looking uneasy. "I've never done it... on a... guy..."
Sirius almost laughed, but then decided not to, considering the situation.
"Mouth to mouth?" Sirius asked. Lily nodded stiffly. Lily leaned her head in towards James' mouth.
"He's not breathing," Lily muttered. She checked the pulse on his wrist to make sure, and she cursed.
"Not breathing," Lily repeated. She the her hand on his chest, and used the other to press down on her hand. She sat up, and got on her knees, straightening her arm out to press on his chest repeatedly. She looked very concentrated and stern, and Sirius thought it was best to just watch awkwardly. He vaguely wondered where Peter was.
She kept on pressing on his chest, maybe thirty times or so. She stopped, removed her hands and used to fingers to point his head up. Looking like she might just kill herself, she leaned forward and pressed her mouth to his, wet hair still plastered on her back. She took a deep breath and gave him one rescue breath, or whatever the hell it was called. Suddenly, James wrapped his arms around Lily, clearly enjoying the moment. Lily shrieked and backed away as Sirius and James laughed at the same time. James sat up, looking a bit fazed. Otherwise he seemed fine.
"You!" Lily hissed. "I thought you were unconscious, you foul little creep!"
"I was. When you were pressing my chest- Which, by the way, made the things up front jiggle-" Lily turned red and crossed her arms "- I woke up. I was about to stop you, but you didn't see me squinting. I saw you leaning in- How could I resist?"
Sirius held a fist up- fist bump for respect. James tapped it with his own fist.
"You son of a bitch!" Lily screeched, slapping him straight across the face. James fell back, clutching his face. Lily turned on her heel, still red as she slipped into the pool.
"Thanks, Remus," Hermione grumbled. He had missed the show, for Hermione was still trying desperately to get away. Lily grabbed her wrist, replacing Remus, but as soon as she did, Hermione slipped out of her grasp and was off again. Lily groaned. She turned towards James, still red.
"I will kill you," Lily snarled before turning back around to chase Hermione.
"Guess that means we're through here," Sirius said, climbing out of the pool. He walked over to his jacket and pulled his wand out, drying himself. He slipped on his t shirt, leather jacket, and jeans and grabbed his helmet. When he turned around, James and Remus were already suited up. They exited Lily's room together, ignoring Hermione's screams.
"What happened to Wormtail?" Sirius asked out of curiosity.
"Eating about half of the school's supply of snacks," James responded, looking extremely proud.
"So. Where to?" Remus asked.
"Spin the Bottle," Sirius responded, heading towards James' room. Remus rolled his eyes as he followed him, James right behind him.
"I'm not playing," Remus said.
"I know. I heard that Maria Anderson is playing. Definite ten, I'd say. There she is!" Sirius exclaimed, the blonde-haired blue-eyes beauty had her hands on the bottle, eyeing everyone in the circle.
"Hold on, Padfoot," James said, grabbing his shoulder.
"What?" Sirius said, a bit annoyed. James glanced towards the corner- There, was Snape. He seemed to have lazily dressed up as a vampire, talking to Malfoy and some other Slytherins.
"Snivellus!" Sirius exclaimed. Few heads turned to look at Sirius; Snape just glared at him.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be off in a cave, somewhere?"
Snape smirked, fake fangs hiding under his lips.
"I had the impression that every seventh year was allowed," he said snidely.
"Yes, but you don't qualify. Body of a child and just as stupid as one."
Snape looked like he was about to respond angrily until someone burst in, laughing.
"HERMIONE, GET OVER HERE!" Lily yelled. Sure enough, Hermione had pranced in, shrieking with laughter. The place quieted down at her entrance, everyone staring at her. Hermione had a pair of shoes in her hands. She ran to the other side of the room, pretty quickly for someone in heels.
"Hermione, give me back my shoes!" Lily screeched, bursting in after her. She saw that everyone was staring at the two of them, and Lily turned a slight shade of pink.
"If she's this drunk, shouldn't she be puking, not running?" Sirius muttered as everyone started to talk again.
"That's what I've been thinking. Are you sure you've only put fire whiskey in the punch?" Remus responded.
"I'm sure."
"She's acting quite strange, I was just thinking maybe- Oh, god," Remus muttered.
"What?" Sirius asked, but he didn't need an answer. Hermione had joined the Spin the Bottle group.
"My turn," a voice Sirius knew too well said, grabbing the bottle. Chase Madison, his arch enemy. He eyed Hermione while every chick was looking at him hopefully. He spun it once, very quickly. Hermione tried to follow it with her eyes, and she just ended up giggling.
"Well, go get her!" Sirius muttered. "If you like her so much."
"I- I don't like her!" Remus said, almost in a snap.
"Just keep telling yourself that," Sirius muttered.
"You have got to be kidding me," Remus groaned as the bottle came to a stop on Hermione. They all exploded, laughing and wolf-whistling.
Chase stood up and walked over to Hermione, extending a hand. She took it, still giggling. As soon as she stood up, Chase grabbed her by the waist and kissed her. Sirius almost puked- He could see the tongue. Hermione responded with so much enthusiasm and wrapped her arms around his neck. Remus started to shift uncomfortably as Hermione hopped up and wrapped her legs around his.
Sirius side-ways glanced at Remus and did a double take. He had never seen Remus so angry- He was literally shaking with anger. Luckily, he didn't have a bat with his baseball costume, otherwise Sirius was sure that Remus would have been over there beating him to death.
Sirius had this particular feeling in his stomach, seeing another guy snog Hermione and one of his best mates fall for her. He didn't know what the fuck it was, but he hated it. He just assumed that it was the deepest kind of hate that anyone could ever feel, and he just hit it. Or so he assumed.
Finally, Hermione got down from him, giggling and swaying on her spot. Chase had this smug expression on his face, and he looked directly at Sirius and smirked.
Sirius didn't know what made him do it, but he just went over there, fists clenched. He pulled back his fist and punched Chase as hard as he could in the jaw. Everyone screamed as he fell to the ground.
"Fuck!" Chase moaned, holding his jaw in his hand, using the other to get up. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Your fucking face, that's what's wrong," Sirius snarled, throwing another punch. Chase blocked it and got Sirius in the nose. He staggered back, but he shook it off.
"Hey! Stop!" Hermione exclaimed, pushing Chase.
"I know, baby, just-"
Sirius lost it at "baby". He let out all of his anger on this one punch- He was sure to draw blood, and maybe even break a few bones.
Sirius heard a scream. A feminine scream. He looked at Chase, who was standing- Standing? He looked at the mass that was on the ground.
Apparently, Hermione had pushed Chase out of the way and gotten in the way. He looked at her on the ground, not quite sure how to react. Everyone screeched and gasped. Hermione sat up, hand on her forehead. There was blood trickling down her head- a piece of green glass fell out of her head and with a tinkle onto the ground. Sure enough, the bottle was shattered on the ground. Hermione must have fallen on it, and there was a piece sticking out of her hair.
"Hurts," she whimpered, and then she fell over, passed out. Everyone was screaming at the blood, and the passed out chick on the ground. Sirius wasn't sure what to think or how to react- He just sort of stood there, not knowing what the fuck to do.
"Move!" Remus said from behind them, shoving both him and Chase. He knelt besides Hermione, eyes full of worry. He looked up at Sirius, anger flashing.
"Sirius, what the hell?!" he exclaimed.
"She was in the way!"
"She- Was- DRUNK!" he yelled. Everyone silenced down- Never had they ever seen Remus freak out like this. Remus was always calm and such- But he was just the opposite, now.
"AND IT WAS BECAUSE OF YOU!" Remus added. He picked up Hermione bridal style, getting up from his knees.
"What are you doing?" Sirius asked, still not sure what to do.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Remus said through gritted teeth, pushing through the crowd. "I'm getting her to the hospital wing."
Damn. That's all I have to say.

I think I made some mistakes, but I'm too lazy and tired to check.
Hope you peeps enjoyed the chapter.
