"Where'd you guys even get Firewhisky?" Kate asked in awe, cradling a bottle in her hand.

Natasha plucked the bottle from her hands, "None of your business. And you don't get any."

"But you do!"

"We're older."

"Not old enough!"

"We're not giving you any." Natasha said, glancing to Loki, who had a smirk on his face, "Or you Loki, you're both too young."

"But… It's New Years!" Loki argued.

"Yeah! Clint!"

"Sorry Kate. You guys aren't getting any."

"You probably won't even notice!" Thor laughed, "You'll be asleep before the New Year begins!"

"Thor!" Loki cried, "I stayed up for New Year's last year!"

"Only because I woke you little brother."

"My Dad let me have Firewhisky last year."

"No offence," Clint said, "but your Dad isn't the best influence Katie…"

"Oh, I know, but he let me have a sip…"

Kate grabbed Loki's arm as all the older kids headed down to the Great Hall for dinner, "I'll keep you awake if you keep me awake?" she whispered.

"Deal." Loki smirked, shaking her hand "Follow my lead."

"When?"

"Thor!" Loki called, "We'll meet you down there, I promised Kate I'd show her the Slytherin dorms!"

"What?" Kate whispered. But Loki just raised an eyebrow at her.

"Okay, but hurry up!" Thor called back, and Loki grabbed Kate's arm and pulled her down towards the dungeons.

"What are we doing in here?" Kate asked, staring around at the Slytherin Common Room in awe.

"I have something that will help us get some Firewhisky."

Kate looked at him skeptically, "Like more Firewhisky?"

"Better," Loki grinned, running up the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Kate yelled.

"Just wait there!"

Kate glanced around awkwardly, before tentatively sitting on the edge of the sofa. The door to the Common Room swung open, causing her to jump up and come face to face with Erik Lehnsherr.

He scanned her tense body language, "What are you doing here?"

"Loki…" She stuttered.

"Ah." He sighed, walking past Kate and to the stairs, "Say no more, I want no part of it."

Kate watched him climb the stairs, meeting Loki at the top, she held her breath.

"Lehnsherr."

"Odinson."

But nothing happened, Loki bounded down the stairs, and Erik went to do whatever he came for. Loki started to leave, but noticed Kate was still standing perfectly still.

"Coming?"

"Oh." She shook her head, "yeah. What's that bottle?"

"Sleeping Draught." Loki smirked, tucking the bottle in his robe, before grabbing Kate's arm and running off towards the Great Hall.

"I'll distract them, you put some of this in their Butterbeer." Loki whispered, slipping Kate the sleeping draught.

"It won't hurt them, right?"

"You think I'd hurt my brother?"

Kate just looked at him.

"No, it won't hurt them."

"Okay." Kate smiled, tucking the vile under her pillow.

Loki sauntered over to the window, glancing out before yelling, "Look guys! Rocket is chasing Quill around the Quidditch Pitch!"

Thor, Natasha, and Clint ran over and crowded Loki at the window, trying to get a good look at Rocket and Peter, while Kate poured a third of the Sleeping Draught into each of their cups.

Three minutes later, Loki was pulling the blankets up over Thor as Kate poured two shots of Firewhisky.

"You'll need 4 more cups." Loki said.

"Why?"

"I may have hired the Guardians for a distraction. But they agreed to be paid in Firewhisky."

"Well," Kate chuckled, pouring four more shots as she heard the Guardians start tramping down the hallway, "I do love it when a plan comes together."
