Chapter Eleven

We were all standing in a rarely used corridor on the eighth floor. Me and Remus had just gotten back from hiding our flag and so had Iggy and Bill. Although we hadn't actually been hiding anything, we just walked around for a few minutes before coming back to the meeting place.

"Okay, flags are hidden and it's time to go. We have one hour and thirty minutes to try and find the opposite teams flags. All wands are back in the common room and any other magical objects that may be an asset to either team. Everybody ready? Whichever team finds the others flag first and gets past the guards of course, is the winner. Let's go," I said. Apparently Lily had still been nervous about breaking the rules and had drank more to settle her nerves, meaning that now James would have quite the handful with a giggling, drunken Lily on his hands. We all split up, me and Remus headed for our designated route as the two other pairs headed for theirs. Who knew where Lily and James were going.

This was the newest plan, we hid no flags and we all, minus Lily and James, were going to meet in what we were told is called the Room of Requirement for the next hour and a half. Lily and James would wander around aimlessly looking for a flag that does not exist and would fall deeply in love causing me to win the bet.

Walking through the door that had just appeared in the wall I realized me and Remus were the last pair to arrive by Billie's loud exclamation of, "Holy shit this is the sickest fucking room I've ever seen!"

I turned to Remus, "This is another of those Marauder secret's that I may have one day stalked you in order to discover?"

"I was actually thinking you'd do some ninja-stalking of me next week. Luckily, since three of the four Marauders' have agreed we could show you all with no consequences."

"So," Sirius said, holding up some fire whiskey, "how's about we continue on with the partying?"

A few minutes later we all had a drink and Peter said, "Well how 'bout we play a game or something? Lily and James have still got quite a while to spend not snogging."

"Ha, you say that now, you'll see, it'll happen," Iggy responded.

"What kind of game you thinking about?" Billie asked.

"I got it!" I said.

"Uh Oh."

"Hide and Seek."

"Seriously?"

"What's that?" Peter asked.

"Well you have one person, or two sometimes, that are 'it'. The people who are not 'it' hide and the people that are 'it' have to find them and catch them," Billie explained.

"Not it!" I screamed and touched my nose, Billie and Iggy immediately did the same and Remus caught on quickest and touched his too, although he did it confusedly.

"That means you and Peter are 'it', 'cause you guys didn't touch your noses," Iggy told Sirius.

"Oookay," Peter said. "I say we all down our drinks and do some shots before we start."

"Sounds like a plan to me," Sirius said, chugging his drink. We all followed suit and then did our shots. A few minutes later we were all walking back and forth, or stumbling more like it, in front of the wall thinking we need somewhere to play hide and seek, we need somewhere to play hide and seek, we need somewhere to play hide and seek.

When we walked through the door we were all speechless. It was a ginormous room, bigger than the great hall and was filled with...well junk really. There were aisles and aisles of stuff all over the place, it was so huge that we couldn't see the far wall.

"What if we get lost?"

"What time is it?" Iggy asked.

"Uh... 1:00 am."

"Okay so we have to meet Lily and James at the meeting spot at 2:00am, at 1:45am everybody stop where you are and think. We need to meet Lily and James now. And wherever you are you should get a door that will lead you back into the hall and then we'll go back to the eighth floor and meet up will Lily and James and me, Sirius and Sonnie will win the bet," Iggy said.

"Except for the whole you winning the bet thing that seems pretty good to me," Peter said.

"Okay so if we're all ready then...let's go!" I said and took off running down a random aisle. I heard the others all running off as well. I screamed back, "Give us thirty seconds then come after us!"

I heard, "This'll be impossible," screamed back.

"That's okay! We're drunk, it'll be fun!" Of course here I stumbled into a bookcase that tumbled down and created a bit of a domino effect with some of the junk around it. I couldn't stop giggling which is, I suppose, what gave away my place to one Sirius Black, who skidded around a big statue, saw me and started running at me. I took off in the opposite direction, turning this way and that until I was so dizzy I barely knew which way was up. I was tumbling and knocking into everything and anything and I was still laughing my ass off.

I kept running and falling and laughing and running and I had no idea if Sirius was anywhere near me now. Eventually I had to walk and catch my breath but I was pretty confidant Sirius wasn't a direct danger and stumbled around, now fairly aimlessly.

I heard a noise to my right, or was that my left? Either way I swung around and squinted into the dark. I heard a squeal and two sets of footsteps. Right before Iggy rounded a corner with Peter and Sirius hot on his heels someone grabbed my arm and pulled me into a...cupboard. I was about to scream when a hand was slammed over my mouth.

I, of course, went with my instincts and bit the hand.

Remus yelped and said, "What the hell? That hurt. Last time I save you from the enemy."

"Oh I'm sorry," my apology was wrecked by my laughing at his pain. "I thought you were a monster! What was I supposed to-"

I was cut off by someone hitting the cupboard from the outside, by the laughing I think it was Billie, someone (Peter, I think) right behind her. Out of instinct I sqweeshed right up against Remus. We held our breaths until they past, he looked down at me and -

I totally kissed him! Something I definitely would not have done if I wasn't so drunk.

I was about to pull back, mortified, but then he pulled me against him roughly with one arm and with his other hand he pulled my face closer to his. I briefly wondered if this would have happened if both of us weren't totally plastered.

We kissed mostly innocently for a while but when I moved my mouth down to his neck he grabbed on to my bum roughly and moaned. From then on we got rougher and rougher. I had my hands running up and down his back under his shirt, he had one hand on my bum, holding me to him and the other on my boob. I ended up kind of sitting on a shelf in the cupboard with my legs around his waist. Our hands and mouths were all over each other and I have no idea how long we spent in the cupboard.

At one point my shirt came up and my bra came down and his mouth was all over my breasts, I was running my hands across the front of his pants and was starting to work on his belt when the laughing and yelling that had stayed in the background got louder and louder.

He pulled back and said, "What time is it?"

I grabbed his wrist and looked at his watch, "1:30."

"Okay," he said. I pulled my bra up and shirt down. "Five more minutes then," and so we spent the next five minutes with our mouths attached bur our hands stayed on the outside of each other's clothing this time. We then spent five minutes cleaning ourselves up and getting untangled and out of the closet. At 1:45 we started thinking about getting back to Lily and James and a door appeared beside us. We walked through it and were surprised to find ourselves on the eighth floor where we were supposed to be meeting back after the fake game of capture the flag.

Billie, Peter, Iggy and Sirius were already there. "Did you guys come out right here too?" I asked.

"Yeah we did, that room must be smarter than we thought!" Peter said.

Billie looked at me and said, "You guys were pretty hidden during the game eh," she glanced pointedly down at my neck, at a place where I was sure Remus had been sucking at one point.

"Before we came here a little birdie told me we should go look for James and Lily a few corridors over," Sirius said.

"And how would you know where they are?" Billie asked.

"Doesn't matter," he said, "let's go!"

And so we did. Would you like to know what was revealed a few corridors over? Me totally winning the bet! A rather pink Lily and James had separated when Remus cleared his throat loudly. I was stoked that I had won the bet but I could definitely understand their embarrassment, if anyone had come across me and Remus only ten minutes ago I'm sure I would have been redder then Lily. And I don't embarrass easily.

I barely remember walking back to the common room, there was a lot of teasing and shushing, we had made a lot of noise when we found Lily and James and were all very aware that we were drunk and wandering the halls at 2:00am. Also I couldn't stop replaying what happened in the closet over and over.

Back at the common room we discovered what had transpired between Lily and James. Apparently they had spent the first while sneaking around and looking for flags that did not exist, when they got bored of that they started talking more than searching. Somewhere throughout their talking James had asked Lily to go to Hogsmead with him and she actually accepted. They hadn't been paying much attention and when they suddenly heard footsteps James had pulled Lily behind a suit of armour where Lily had spontaneously kissed him.

Write this down boys, How to get a girl to kiss you:

1) Save her from imminent danger by sqweeshing the two of you into a small area

2) Kiss her back

Apparently that'll do it. At least if the girl is either me or Lily.

As galleons were exchanged I blabbed about the plan, which had turned into a second plan, which had turned into a second game. Lily was a little outraged but was still too drunk to get that mad about it. We all stayed up a little longer, drinking some water to try and ward off possible hangovers, but we slowly went off to bed. Apparently teenagers were not to be trusted as much when there were no screaming babies around because our rooms had become two rooms, one for boys and one for girls. Crawling into bed at about 3:30 I dreaded the thought of waking up in only three hours and going to classes tomorrow. Or later this morning I guess.

At 3:45 I realized I had not had nearly enough water to dilute the alcohol in my system and that if I was going to have less then three hours of sleep then I should go drink at least two more glasses before bed. Lily and Billie were both already asleep but I still felt a little too drunk to sleep right away, although not drunk enough to just pass out.

I didn't bother with the lights but just felt my way to our little kitchen that was barely used and downed two glasses of water at the sink. On the way back to my room I nearly pissed myself with fear. I hadn't noticed Remus sitting in an armchair by the embers in the fireplace on my way to the kitchen.

He looked as if something was bothering him. He watched me walk over and sit on the arm of his chair with an odd expression on his face.

"You okay?" I asked.

"Uh...no, not really."

Uh oh, now I was worried, was this about me, did he regret what happened in the cupboard? If the bulge in his pants meant anything he had really seemed to be enjoying it at the time. I looked down at him and was about to say something but then I noticed he wasn't looking at my face. He was looking a little south of my face at a place where I was noticeably not wearing a bra.

So instead of saying anything I leaned forward and captured his bottom lip between both of mine. Now really, I swear I'm never the one to initiate stuff like this as I am always too afraid of being turned down. The alcohol had really taken effect on me though. He didn't respond to my kiss and I felt my stomach drop down about four inches, as I pulled back though he followed my lips with his and then put his hand on the back of my head and pulled me closer. I wrapped my arms around his neck and slid down from the arm of the chair so I was straddling his lap, as I grinded into him he gasped in my mouth and I responded by flicking his tongue lightly with my own. We kissed, not hard and rough like we did in the cupboard but soft and slowly until we heard the clock chime four times.

I pulled away, breathing heavily and said, "I really should get to bed now. Gotta get up in about two and a half hours."

"Ye-" he cleared his throat, "Yeah, I guess that's a good idea."

I stood up and walked over to the girl's bedroom door, I turned to tell him goodnight and gasped at finding him standing right behind me. I went on my tip-toes and he put his hand on my cheek to kiss me one more time.

"G'night."

"Night."

A/N- Yay! Finally some real Remus/Sonnie lovin' eh? You may be mad at be by what happens next though, hopefully it will inspire some reviews ;D
