It was Sirius' birthday, and said guy was walking around Hogwart's halls at five in the morning, hands shoved in his pockets, thinking that his best friends had forgotten it. Last year he hadn't even told them and they'd scolded him when they found out six months later after they asked him when exactly was his birthday.
He ran into Kristen, returning from the last touching ups of the surprise, whose guilty expression made him suspect something.
"So, what are you doing up so early?" he asked casually.
"Painting my nails yellow," she blinked innocently as soon as she rid herself of the guilty look.
"Oh?" he asked again. "Then why're you running to paint your nails?"
"Because the color is amazing!" She grinned one of those grins that make you suspect that something's up.
"And what are the others doing?"
The sudden change of topic threw her off slightly. "Uh…"
"Tell me what's going on!" Sirius started tickling her madly.
"AHH!! STOP STOP!!" she managed to get out between giggles.
"Tell me what you all are doing!" he grinned. Was this a prank or surprise?
"OKOK! Stop first!"
He stopped. "Weeeell?"
"You'll find out at breakfast!" she broke into a run and ran for the common room, Sirius chasing her.
"BOMBS AWAY!" James led the attack on Sirius with a bunch of pillows as soon as Kristen hit the door and frantically opened it.
"Bloody hell what's with the ambush?!" Sirius' voice was muffled.
Sirius disappeared in a mountain of pillows. Turning to see where all the said items were coming from, Kristen came upon Remus frantically duplicating a pillow in front of him as fast as Peter and James could throw. Rolling off the bed, she grabbed a few and chucked them at Sirius.
"AHHH!!" shaking his head like a dog, Sirius tackled Peter and James in one go.
The four of them were laughing hard as they stopped.
"So, what were you all busy about Kristen?" Sirius grinned slyly.
"Gonna go paint my nails, see you later!" she shut the door as a pillow thwacked against it.
Sirius looked at the other three, who shrugged and the pillow fight started again.
When they finally went down for breakfast, Kristen and the girls were already there.
"Nice nails," Sirius muttered in her ear after he saw her sunny tips. She looked up and grinned.
"Yeah, they better be nice," Riley said dryly, "She freaked out after her right thumb wasn't 'smooth' and redid it, four layers and all."
"Yeah, 'base', two coats of color and top," Lily shook her head teasingly. "Spazzy perfectionist."
Kristen just smiled, and glanced at the clock, and then back at the other three.
Sirius turned to see who she was looking at, as she mouthed 'Three, two, one.'
Fireworks exploded from all corners of the room, causing seventy five percent of the people inside to scream. After the smoke cleared, 'Happy Birthday Sirius!' was formed using the neon colored fiery font.
"Happy birthday mate," James patted him on the back.
"Is that what you were rushing for?" Sirius asked Kristen, grinning amid all the cheers.
"Yeah, don't you feel proud?"
The five of them were had earsplitting grins on their faces.
Whispers (mostly coming from the female half of the room) were all along the lines of, 'so sweet!', 'whose Sirius? That guy? Oh he's hot!', 'James is SO CUTE!', and 'I like that one'.
"JAMES POTTER! You, you, you, you and you, come up here at once!" McGonagall was shaking her head.
Remus moaned. "I told you we'd get a detention."
"Please Remus, if I'm not complaining you shouldn't be," Kristen had a half-grin on her face, standing up with the others.
Surprisingly, McGonagall was sort-of, not-really, maybe, kind of smiling??
"Whoa," Peter muttered. "Check out McGonagall's face."
"Nah, she isn't hot enough," James coughed and shut up once she was in earshot.
"You five, while I think it's very nice of you to celebrate your friend's birthday, kindly keep it private and out of the public's eye."
"But Professor, this is private. We're best buds with the school," James said innocently.
"Right,' McGonagall answered dryly.
"What about me? I didn't ask them to do it," Sirius butted in.
"Alright, you don't have to do the detention." Here, Sirius grinned and left for his seat. "But you four, Friday night, Hagrid's hut."
"OK! Can we go now? We have certain matters to attend to," James said cheekily.
Remus slapped him lightly round the head.
McGonagall turned to him, saying, 'Good one. You're all dismissed."
When the other four walked back, grinning (James with his arms up in a victory stance) as the bell rang to loud cheers all around and the gang left for the Lake. The girls slipped off their shoes and sat down next to the shore, guys following.
Kristen jerked her head at Remus, in James' and Lily's direction. Jerk, jerk.
Remus sent a confused look back at her.
"Fix their problem," she mouthed.
"Why me?" he mouthed back.
'Because you're closer," she answered.
He made a face, and then swiftly enlisted Sirius' help. Remus pushed Lily in; Sirius pushing James on top of her.
Kristen slapped her head. "You're too blunt!"
The wet duo spluttered, but otherwise seemed to already be over their little spat.
"Oi! What was that for?!" James pulled the two of them in as well.
Lily seemed to have the same thought as James and Riley ended up in with her.
Kristen and Peter had scrambled away from the waters edge.
"Looks like we're the only ones left Pete," Kristen laughed.
The five in the water glanced at each other and simultaneously pulled out their wands, shouting, "Aguementi!'
Water shot at the both of them from the five's wands, soaking them anyways.
Kristen shook her head hard, spraying water droplets everywhere. "Fun. Remind me to never let you all team up again," she wrung out her robes wryly.
They hauled themselves up, not noticing the crowd that stared at them, whispering.
Their clothes dried with a flick of their wands while they headed back to the common room.
"Yeah, alright, I did what you told me to and got pulled in. I'm innocent!" Remus mock glared at Kristen.
"Right, that's such a punishment," Kristen rolled her eyes. "Anyways, if you're a man act like one."
"Ooh harsh," James butted in. "What'd you tell him to do anyways?"
Kristen shot a discreet look at Remus. "Nothing," she addressed to James.
He shrugged. "OK."
The group disappeared into the Great Hall, not noticing the throng of followers shadowing them.
As soon as they walked into the common room, the seven noticed a—well, to put it politely, round—fifth year sprawled across a couch, slurping butterbeer. Evidently he'd already had several judging by the bottles surrounding him. He dumped the rest in a straight line down—and completely missed, soaking the couch.
"FATTY FAIL!" Kristen announced loudly, obnoxiously.
He tottered up, eyes bloodshot and was heading her way (the guys glaring hard and cracking their knuckles) before another fifth year knocked him over the head. Fatty woozily swung around in a circle before collapsing.
"Did you really have to provoke him Kristen?" Lily asked patronizingly.
Kristen shrugged. "Yeah." She turned to the fifth year who knocked Fatty out and said, "Thanks."
"Yeah anytime," his eyes raked across her body before he turned back to his friends.
"He was checking you out," James grinned.
Sirius rolled his eyes. "Yah...right."
"Mm, thanks for the vote of confidence," Kristen muttered, eyes fixed on the window.
"Hey do you guys want to play Truth or Dare again? Using a bottle to see who goes?" Riley asked.
James eyed Fatty's many empty butterbeer bottles. "Yeah, I'm game," he casually passed by and snaked out his arm to grab one.
Due to curious eyes peeping at them, Lily suggested that they head up to the boy's dorm.
After they all were settled around James and Sirius' beds (Kristen situated on Sirius' and Riley and Lily on James'), Peter grabbed the bottle and plopped it in the middle.
"Right then, whose first?"
Sirius spun it; landing on Riley. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth," Riley said apprehensively.
The boys scooched together, whispering. Kristen inched towards them to listen in.
"Right then," James announced, "Did you like anyone this or last year, and who?"
Riley thought for a minute. "Frank Longbottom…but not anymore."
"Longbottom? You don't even talk to him!" Kristen raised an eyebrow.
"Why don't you like him anymore?" Peter asked.
"Hey, one question only! Next!" Riley spun it.
It landed on Peter.
"Truth or Dare Pete?" Remus asked.
Peter wavered. "D—truth."
"Alright…"
James whispered to Sirius, who barked out a laugh. "Yeah do that," he grinned.
"Alright Pete, do you jack off?"
Peter was totally caught off guard. "Huh—wha—no!!"
"So you do," Sirius said matter of factly.
Kristen was laughing so hard she was silent, Riley, Lily and Remus were stunned.
James grinned. "It's fine if you do Pete, don't have to be all embarrassed."
Peter was stuttering and a brilliant shade of red now. "N-no, I don't-!"
"Never mind that who's next?" Kristen asked, saving Peter from further embarrassment.
Remus leaned forward and gave the bottle a twirl. It landed on Sirius.
"Either, I don't care."S
"Oh I got this one," Riley grinned.
"What?" Kristen wanted to know. Lily face palmed.
Riley whispered, "If he had sex with Selina."
A half-smile appeared on Kristen's face. "Go ahead."
"SOO….Sirius….did you ever have sex with Selina?" Riley asked casually.
Remus sprayed out his water, coughing.
Sirius grinned. "And if I did?"
Riley shrugged. "Just wanted to know. Anyways, loads of girls have crushes on you."
A dirty grin spread across his face. "Like who?"
Riley shrugged. Kristen had her face buried in a pillow and was shaking from laughing so hard.
"Lily, d'you know? Kristen?" none of them answered him.
James scoffed jokingly. "Psh, mate they're not going to answer you. Who's next?" he spun the bottle quickly, not before he wacked Sirius over the head with it.
"Annd…Kristen."
"Hm? Truth."
"Huh, you're no fun."
Sirius had a mischievous smile on his face. "What about this?" he whispered it to everyone else.
Kristen yawned, but then froze as he voiced the question.
"Would you ever bang one of us?"
