A/N: I thought I'd tell you one this ahead of time:

THIS IS THE PARTY!

Previously on Alright, Evans?:

Sirius and Lily get trapped by Death Eater wannabe's and thus have to 'snog' they're way out of the situation. Sirius say's they can't tell anyone. It also comes to light that Sirius would have probably tried to get with Lily (in a non-romantic way/ he want's her bod) when they were younger if it weren't for the fact that James had laid claimed to her. They also got booze for the party.


This party was wild. It was wilder, I think, because it was only and all Gryffindors invited.

I had strolled down the stairs about an hour ago to find the room dimmed with random streaks of light flying around the room. All the Furniture was removed from the center of the floor.

The Marauders had created a dance floor for this party. Remus must have told them about the disco floors. Each individual tile was lighting up. But even more spectacular: it lit up straight to the roof like a spot light. So in that one square of the room, one could not help but turn colors.

Everyone was dressed in street clothes. Which I had been immensely grateful for once I had strolled down. Mary had dressed me in a loose black off the shoulder sweater I owned and jeans the belled.

She had taken her wand and straitened my hair for this one. (It was always in loose curls at its ends) I felt really conscious about how it swayed every time I turned my head. It was also so long. It reached my waist, instead of my elbows.

Music was pouring out of every corner and wall in the common room as I walked up to the makeshift bar.

"Hello, Lily!"

I looked up, "Remus, hey!" It was darker in the common room, I could hardly see more than his hair, eyes, and nose. "You're working bar?" I laughed.

He shrugged; he was bouncing to the music as he poured people drinks. "Yeah, I have to, see. Peter doesn't know how to, James…just won't, and Sirius will purposefully make everyone so drunk that they all start puking. So, yeah, it's me by default." He smiled at me and grabbed a cup. "You want a mixer or strait Firewhiskey?"

I bit my lip. I wasn't one for alcohol. (Except for that little stash I keep under the floorboards) "Um, a mixer, please."

He nodded, and began pouring. "So, you helped Sirius get all this?" he asked.

I shifted, reminded of Sirius's and mine's snog, "Yeah, it wasn't easy. That is one hell of a walk to and from Hogsmeade."

Remus made a face and nodded, "Here you go, Lils." He handed me my drink.

"Thanks, Rem." I turned and walked back to where Mary was talking to Robbie.

"Hey, Mary." I took a sip of my drink.

She looked away from Robbie, "Oh, hey Lily!" She looked my up and down. She then proceeded to say something but I was unable to hear her, due to the crowed on the dance floor cheering suddenly.

"What?" I yelled over to her.

"You do look good in that sweater!" She yelled back, "Robbie and I are going on to the dance floor! Wanna come?" She started in that direction.

I shook my head. I wasn't drunk enough for that crowed. At least Mary has had one full drink already. "No, thanks! Hey! Wait a sec!" I said to her. She turned back to me and listened, "Why did you and Remus break up, again? All those years ago?"

Thinking about how nice Remus was had reminded me of how lucky a girl would be if she were with him. And in Fifth year: Mary had dated him. It was a 'mutual' break up.

Her expression turned sour, "He's just…I don't know."

I raised an eyebrow, "So it was all his fault?"

She looked at me surprised, "No, no, no…I just…none of it…is his fault." She finished.

"Don't you mean 'was'?"

She shook her head, "Don't worry about it, Lily! I'll see you later, okay?" She turned and wandered onto the dance floor.

I just nodded and took a sip of my drink. It tasted good, surprisingly. So I took another.

I decided then and there that I would (finally) hunt Sirius down and wish him a happy birthday.

I wandered around for a few minutes, constantly bumping into people. Mostly drunk girls who were wearing skimpy articles of clothing.

Everyone seemed to be yelling. I couldn't see two meters in front of me. There were lights flashing from one end to the other, the music was pounding. I pushed my way through a couple dancing really close on the dance floor. I spilt half of my drink on the girl…

"Oh! Sorry!" I cried.

"Watch it next time, bitch!" She said drunkenly.

I looked at her. She looked back a me defiantly.

I splashed the rest of my drink in her face.

"Bitch." I murmured, as she sputtered. I walked past her and went to get another drink. She didn't follow me.

I slapped my cup down and looked at the barely visible Remus. "Another, please."

He raised an eyebrow (or so I imagined) and took my cup from me. "Already finished that one?" He asked cautiously.

I snorted, "No, some fourth year girl got snotty with me. And her face flew right into my drink."

He laughed, "Imagine that."

"I know, weirdest thing."

He finished pouring me my drink and handed it over, "Let's hope no more faces end up in this one, yeah?"

"I shall pray on it." I turned and resumed my hunt for Sirius.

I ran into a very drunk Marlene.

"Hey, Marls…" I said steadying her.

"Hey Lily!" She yelled. "What're…guess who's here? Guess, Guess. Sirius is!" She laughed

"Yes, I assumed he would be…you know, since this is his party and everything…"

She laughed harder. "Oh, Lily! Do you know who else is here?"

I shook my head. She grabbed my arm to steady herself. She spilt some of her drink.

"James Potter's here, LILY!" She yelled my name.

I laughed, "Yeah, I'm sure he's here, too." I wasn't good around drunken people apparently. I decided to leave while I still could. "You know what? I'm going to check to see if he's actually here! Okay? Okay." I said like I was talking to a three year old.

I removed my arm from her prying hands and scampered away as quickly as I could.

I should have been watching where I was going.

Of course I would run into James and Estella.

"Lily!" Estella cried. She wrapped her arms around me in a hug. She didn't seem too pissed. But I could tell she'd had some. "You know, you are like…one of the only people here I know." She was a happy drunk apparently.

"You know lots of people Estella." I chided her. Of course with all the yelling we were having to do, it's a wonder it sounded compassionate at all.

I tried not to pay attention to James. He was watching us converse with an odd expression on his face.

She shook her head, "No, no, no, I really like you! You're honest and kind!" She giggled a bit. "And you didn't give me detention for when James and I…well…" She winked at me. James rolled his eyes with a smile on his face. "You know."

My stomach dropped and the mention of that night. I tried not to vomit on her. "It was no problem at all, Estella. Just don't let me catch you at it again." I reprimanded her with joking seriousness. I really hoped she took it seriously, though.

"Oh no worries!" she said waving her hand at me. She turned to James and ran a hand up his chest into his hair. He smiled down at her with adoration, "James and I have found other places since." She giggled into his chest and buried her head there. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head.

I turned away sharply, not looking at them I bid them farewell. I glanced once back at them as I walked away and regretted it instantly: James had lifted her off her feet and she had her legs wrapped around his middle, snogging profusely.

I turned back around and stopped dead. The pain of seeing that. The pain of knowing what it was like to kiss him. The pain of knowing I could have had that, that I it was my fault I stood here, by myself. The pain was eating me alive. I felt my stomach roll.

I was so jealous I couldn't feel any part of my limbs. I was so tortured at what I did to myself that I was going to vomit. I reached up and grabbed a chunk of my hair and tugged. It hurt. I was able to think clearly again.

I looked morosely at my full cup of mixer. I smiled grimly. 'At least I know what to do with my sorrow tonight...'

I brought the cup to my lips and chugged it all down, tilting my head back slowly to keep the flow going. When it was gone, I brought my head back down.

I crushed the cup in my hand. 'Drown them.'


I laughed along with the crowd. Sirius was dancing atop a table and was swinging his shirt around.

The floor rose to meet me. I pounded my hands on the edge of the sofa that appeared. "Sirius!" I yelled. He didn't seem to hear me. He rolled along a tabletop. "Sirius!" I called again. I thought I was being pretty clear.

He turned to look at me. His hair swung around. "Yeah, loooove?" He laughed "Why're you…on the floor?"

I looked up. The floor was above my head. I was lying on my back. "I don't know!" I called laughing.

Both Sirius's came above me and hauled me up.

"Thanks, guys!" I cheered. I fell onto the magically appearing sofa.

"Who wants to play a game?" James called.

I rolled my head around to look at him. "James." I said softly. He didn't hear me.

He's so beautiful. And funny. And beautiful. Wait, aren't men handsome? I nodded. "Handsome, yes." I said.

Estella turned to me. My head was somehow in her lap. "I know!" She said, giggling, "Sirius is handsome isn't he?"

"What's handsome?" I turned and looked at Sirius who had now joined James atop the table.

"Games sound great, mate!"

"That rhymed!" Someone called.

"Okay, We were going to play Truth or Dare, tonight. BUT because some of you are too pissed to keep quiet out in the halls. We can't play that."

There was a general uproar from the crowdalong with some cursing. I was among them. I sat upright, my vision swam.

James held up his hands. "But we're going to play a different game. Kind-of a mix between '10 Fingers' and 'Strip Poker'."

There was general approval from the crowd.

"Good, first thing's first: KIDDIES!" James hollered into the crowd of people. "If you are not Fifth years and above: this party if over for you!"

Much yelling came from the Fourth and Third Years. Most of the younger ones weren't even allowed to come down to start with.

"Sorry," Sirius shrugged, and then swayed. "You can go next year." He said as a mass of people trudged up the stairs.

"Wait, Padfoot," James said, mockingly, "We won't be here next year."

They paused and looked at each other.

Then they burst out laughing. "Sucks for you!" Sirius cried. "Bye, bye, now!"

I closed my eyes for a moment, resting them. They felt like they were working doubly hard tonight.

"Okay," James clapped his hands together once all the Underclassmen had gone. "Everyone gather 'round!"

There was a great amount of shuffling around as over thirty people sat in a giant circle in the Common Room.

Some one had grabbed my arms and hauled me to a random spot in the circle. I saw that it was Estella.

"Thanks!" I said. She's soooo nice.

"This'll be fun!" She clapped.

I just love her.

"Okay, rules." James said at the head of the circle to my right. I was sitting a ways down from him. I could still hear him clearly, though. Estella was to my right.

I glanced around to locate all my friends.

Marlene was at the end opposite James.

Mary was with Robbie across from me.

Sirius and Remus were on either side of James.

And Peter…was asleep on the counter of the bar.

"The rules: You have to answer the question. If you choose not to you have to remove an article of clothing. If you choose not to do that: you're out of the game."

Everyone nodded. Even me, with my sluggish mind, was able to understand it.

"One more thing!" Sirius cried. "Just so that we teenagers get some sex going on in here."

There were catcalls at that statement.

"Every time you answer a question truthfully…" He pulled out a bottle. "You spin the bottle and see who you snog."

Cheers happened at this. Everyone was drunk enough for snogging random people.

"Are we ready, then?" James called.

Everyone cheered and clapped.

"Oh, one more thing…" Remus levitated tiny shot glasses to everyone in the circle. "Don't spill it. It took us forever to knick it. It's veritaserum."

I felt a shock of surprise go around my brain before I grabbed and drained the tiny glass.

"Now everyone must tell the truth." Sirius and James bumped fists.

Let the games begin!


I laughed along with everyone else, as Marlene had to snog some fifth year boy.

She grabbed his shirt and pulled him towards her. I clapped my hands when he tried to slip his tongue in. She pushed him away and whipped her lips flirtatiously.

"Okay, okay!" James said, "Marlene pick your victim."

She put a finger to her lips and looked around. "James." She smiled at him.

He grinned, "Bring it."

She bit her lip and pondered for a moment. "Oh! Okay…" She giggled. "Are you a virgin? And if not…how many girls have you slept with?"

"You're just assuming they're girls?" Sirius interjected. Everyone laughed. James punched him in the shoulder.

"Ah, ah, Marls." He chastised, "Only one question. So, which is it?"

She rolled her eyes.

I hated to admit that I so desperately wanted to know the answer, too.

"Well, How many girls have you slept with? That way: it'll tell me if you're a virgin anyway."

People praised her intelligence. Even I couldn't help at that. What with my sluggish brain…I can barely form coherent sentences.

"Fine, fine." James held up his hands in surrender. He looked at the floor for a moment, counting. "Six. I've slept with six birds."

Jeers from the boys.

"Gettit, Potter!"

"Damn, and I bet they were all fit!"

I cringed. Six? That was more boys then I've snogged! I tried not to focus on how jealous it made me that six lucky girls got James Potter.

I looked over at Estella. She was looking at James, so I couldn't really see her face. 'I wonder if she's one of the six…'

I pushed that thought away. My head was starting to clear. It must have had something to do with the veritaserum…

"Okay, my turn to spin the bottle." He leaned forward and grabbed one end and gave it a spin.

It spun…

It spun…

It spun…

It landed on…himself.

"Bollocks!" He laughed. "How'd I manage that?"

I felt Estella relax beside me. I looked over at her but her face was smiling.

"Guess I have to snog myself, yeah?"

We all laughed.

He brought up his hand, laughed, and gave it a lick.

"Eww! Hahahaha!" the room was full of laughter.

Sirius next to him and chugged down his third drink. While everyone was getting more sober…he was getting drunker. "That's it Jamesie…" He coughed, "Love a liddle on you self."

"Alright, alright…" James looked around the group. "Caleb!" He called at a sixth year boy.

"Me?"

"Yeah… ready?"

"Bring it, Potter."

James smiled. "Who's that bird you were talking about in the changing rooms that one day after Quidditch practice?"

Caleb smiled and flicked him off.

"Yeah," James continued, pretending to try and remember, "The one you supposedly shagged?"

"Ahhh!" The crowed 'Oooo'd' at this new piece of information.

Caleb shook his head and tugged at his belt: he wasn't going to answer.

"Woooo!" I cheered along with everyone. He had already lost his shirt from his denial to answer a previous question. Now his pants had to come off.

He shrugged his shoulders and sat down again. It was his turn to ask someone a question.

He looked directly at me.

"Lily Evans."

I smiled. "Move it or lose it."

"Ooooo…" James muttered. My head shot towards him. It was the first time he had acknowledged me all night. "Evans's is getting feisty."

I flipped my hair at him and grinned.

"Okay, Lily." Caleb scratched his neck. "Who's the last person you snogged?"

I froze.

So did Sirius.

Sirius was the last boy I snogged. We both didn't want to tell anyone. Sirius for some unknown reason… and me? I glanced at Marlene: she was smiling at me. Well, I didn't want to seem like I was betraying my friends…

I pursed my lips. I decided to take a look at James. He was observing the floor.

'He thinks he was the last person to snog me! He doesn't want me to tell, either!' I looked over at Estella, she was grinning at me. 'James doesn't want Estella to know.'

The fact that James was…ashamed…that he had snogged me hurt. But what felt good was that he was wrong. What felt good was that he had no idea that while he's been with Estella…I've been snogging someone, too. Whether it was only one time or not.

I decided on a half-truth.

"It was in a hallway after midnight a few days ago." I smiled and stood up. I began lifting up my shirt to remove it.

"Ow, ow!" People hollered.

I had to remove an article of clothing because I didn't directly answer the question. I didn't necessarily have to say anything. But a part of me just wanted James to know that he wasn't the last boy to have my lips.

After I removed my black sweater, I swung it around over my head, and laughed. I was wearing a black bra with it. At least I looked good.

After sitting down, I glanced at Sirius. He was smiling into his drink. After that, I got up the courage to look at James. He was glaring at me. I mean: glaring at me. As if he was trying to figure out what was up.

I smiled at him.

He didn't smile back.

"My turn!" I called. Well, if he's going to be in a crappy mood then the hell with him.

Everyone got re-situated.

"Sirius?" I said sweetly.

He looked up at me. "Ready."

"Have you ever…" I thought hard about what I was going to ask. "…Cheated…on someone you were dating."

He locked eyes with me. He didn't look angry. He only looked…thankful? Why would he be thankful about that?

"No." He said. "I have never, no will I ever, cheat on a girl of mine." I couldn't help but noticed that his eyes glanced towards Marlene.

I looked back at her too. She was staring open mouthed at her hands. I knew this was a good question to ask. At least she now knows the truth. Sirius couldn't lie. He had taken veritaserum just like the rest of us. He was bound my truth telling.

"Spin the bottle time!" He laughed and reached forward. He twisted the end and it spun.

And it spun…

And it spun…

And it spun…

And it landed on me.

Sirius sat back, shocked. Everyone cheered.

'Merlin!' I couldn't help but wonder, 'What are the odds?'

"Alright then, Lils." He rolled up his sleeves and crawled over to me, unsteadily. He was still quite drunk.

All of the sudden I was very aware of all the eyes on us…and the fact that I wasn't wearing a shirt.

"Sirius…maybe we shouldn't…"

He rolled his eyes at me. And grabbed my face and brought it close to his. "Lily, really? … We've …snogged before."

"WHAT?"

I didn't get a chance to see who spoke, before Sirius planted his lips on mine. Even though he was drunk, he was still an excellent kisser. His lips moved on mine slowly. I moved mine along his. He slipped his tongue into my mouth and I reached up and grabbed his hair.

Then suddenly he was gone.

SMACK!

I heard the tale tell sound of a fist colliding with flesh. I opened my eyes to see James standing over Sirius who was clutching his face, on the floor.

James looked angrily at me and held my gaze. "Game over." He said.

No one dared argue.


A/N: OH. I am so cruel, aren't I?

Yeah, James found out. It is very clear that he's not happy.

How will Estella feel about this outburst?

How will Marlene feel about the snogging of one Sirius Black?

What's going to happen between James and Sirius?

I didn't even want to stop writing this here! lol I'm sorry reviewers! Bring on the love/hate!

Yours forever,

Mrs. Darcy
