Eyes on Fire
(Chapter 38)
AuthorQuickNotes: this one jumps forward a bit to Halloween. If I did day to day, this story would never end, lol. So here's the Halloween dance and yada. It gets a bit more than PG-13 rating due to immature drinking, crotch shots, and blood (due from falling) and the occasional marijuana reference. I know this would never happen in Hogwarts but it was all snuck in by the elder students or students with older siblings willing to send them stuff. Explanation right there, hehe. Anyways, it goes a bit fast in the end because I wanted to show you guys how drunk the main characters are. Just another fyi. Hope you enjoy. Sorry this update took a while! Salut! Please review!
Weeks flew by like it was nothing and finally, it was Halloween. October 31st and, by relation, the best day the old geologist and scientists ever created. I was up in my room, after classes and dinner, getting ready for the optional Halloween dance party. This morning, I received a letter from the headmaster stating that "due to impeccable good behavior, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, your probation has been lifted". I was so excited that I almost ran to the Slytherin table to show Malfoy. But Amy had stopped me, thankfully. I would've made a fool out of myself.
"I can't get the zipper up," Amy whined. I looked over and laughed. She only had like an inch left of the zipper and her fingers couldn't grasp. It was in that one spot on the back where fingers were too short and arms not flexible enough to reach. I waddled over in my petticoat and quickly zipped her up. I was only walking around with my red lacy bra and my petticoat. I bet I looked rather funky. "Thank you," she stated, smiling. She was going as a very cute Jester with a brightly colored jester hat with the bells on it and her outfit was blue, red, and green checkers with small frills on the sleeves and legs. She looked cute and she sat on the bed to wait for me to do her make up. I laughed at her as she cross her leg over the other, her shoe jingling. I grabbed my costume and pulled it over my head. My grandma was perfect at picking the size. It was almost unbelievable. I was going as a bumble bee. It was an awfully short costume and the petticoat just made it cover my butt. It came with black and yellow leg warmers that were real soft so I don't think tonight will be the only time I wear these eye catching leg warmers.
I pulled my black velvet gloves on and turned to Amy, to do her make up. I grabbed the make up my grandma picked up for us and began applying her make up. I made he eyes smoky and then gave her abnormal rosy cheeks and made her lips seem larger than normal. She would've looked sexy with high heels but she picked out the jingling shoes instead, which made it an Amy outfit. Amy grinned and watched me as I began applying my own makeup. Mine was a bit more complex since I wanted my face to look like a cute bumble bee as a human. I blackened the top of my nose and made my eyes pop with some bright yellow eye shadow and thick black eyeliner along the bottom of my eyes. I stuck my two antennas to my forehead and skin glued them on there before dabbing black eye shadow along the bottoms of the antennas to make it look like they were apart of my forehead. I giggled and looked over at Amy, whose eyes widened a bit.
"I swear, Jenn you should be a make up artist," she stated. I scoffed and shrugged it off. I wouldn't like doing it as much if it was my job. I liked doing it for free and if it weren't for my mom, I wouldn't know anything about make up. It wouldn't be hard to guess how to do make up. Just blend everything with your skin so it looks natural. That's all.
"I'm pretty stoked for this dance," I stated, smiling. "Where was it being held again?"
"Uh, in the dungeon halls," Amy answered. "Since we're the only one's who know about the party who are Gryffindor, I think we're going to be the most suspicious." I giggled, not caring. I was going to have fun. "Blaise said he's giving us an exclusive pass and if any Slytherin give us problem, just pretend we're going to puke on them and they'll leave us alone." I started laughing as Amy grinned at me, putting on her fake nails. "I'm super stoked your probation has lifted and your detentions are done with so we can start partying together. We need to have a Gryffindor party or a girl's night out or something." I nodded. I could use a girl's night.
"I know the perfect place!" I stated, grinning over at her as I put on my golden hoop earrings. Amy grinned over at me. "I'll tell you about it later. We've got to get going. We want to be the first ones to arrive so people don't stare at us even more for being fashionably late." I grinned at her as I hopped into my ridiculously tall heels that were bright yellow with stripes (thank heavens my grandma had a fancy for bees or she wouldn't have found the perfect bee like shoes). I began rushing out with Amy, who was making shocking sentences about my high heels, and I shrugged it off as I skipped down the stairs. No one in the common room was dressed up, besides Dean and Seamus who grinned over at us. They were going with us as well. Amy and I couldn't hang out with Malfoy and Blaise so we have to bring a posse with us.
"Oh, nice," I stated, staring over Dean. Dean had on a very realistic pirate costume with his hair teased and a fake five o'clock shadow along his jaw that made him look rather sexy, if I can say that. His jacket was blue and he had an undershirt that was an off white, appearing like it was already dirt. He had the coolest boots on that had holes along the soles and his pants fit perfectly into the boots. "A pirate suits you, my man," I said, patting his chest. Dean grinned, shrugging.
"My mom has amazing taste in costumes!" he stated. "She found Seamus' costume as well!" Seamus was going as a very sophisticated vampire with attachable fangs and a silk red vest over a nice white button that I recognized as his school one from the hidden Gryffindor badge and he had on his nice black slacks. His shoes were real shiny; I noticed them right off the bat. "But if I knew you two were going as two sexy ladies, I would've played my costume up a bit," Dean teased. Amy and I both rolled our eyes before laughing. I glanced over at the couches to see Harry practically staring at me. I narrowed my eyes and decided to play a bit sluttier so I reached behind me and pretended to pick a wedgy, which showed a fine view of my ass probably because Harry blushed, his eyes widening but Hermione's quick slap on the head made him turn back around. I chuckled rather darkly before grinning over at Dean, who had his eyes narrowed at me; hell, all three of them had their eyes narrowed at me.
"What? I have to be a bitch to my ex, right?" I stated. "Let him see what he's missing out on. Just come on!" Dean laughed, shaking his head as my thinking as I grabbed his hand and headed out. Amy grabbed Seamus' hand and headed out after us.
"Can we not run?" Dean stated, his voice shaking from laughter. "Jennifer, you're sexy and all but I'm getting a full view of your goods and frankly, we're way to close of friends for me to be checking you out!" I began laughing as I slowed my pace down. I was just real excited. "That's better."
"Aw, Dean is such a gentleman," Amy slurred, winking at him as she linked arms with me as we walked, very fast, toward the dungeons. We saw a lot of other people heading down there, wearing exhilarating costumes and I smiled at them. I bet Amy and I didn't look like ourselves because for one, my hair was in major curls and Amy's hair was tucked under her very intricate mask that she magically glue to her face. And I had a lot of make up on so the only one's who looked the same were Seamus and Dean, but no seemed to notice since Seamus had pale make up on and Dean's hair made him look a bit dirtier than usual. It was pretty sweet!
"I love Halloween," I stated, grinning as the chilly air of the dungeons met my revealed skin and I shivered slightly as Amy grinned at me. The two of us hurried up; the boys seemed more on edge so I smiled back at them. "Tonight's going to be a good night, I know it! Just think the room's full of Gryffindor instead of more Slytherin!" Dean grinned at me, nodding his head as Seamus chuckled, grinning as well. There were a few guards standing place; just students dressed up as guards and I noticed them as Malfoy's two bodyguards. What were their names again? Crabs and Boils? Eh, it doesn't matter.
"State the password!" the taller one stated. I think that was Boils.
"Gangly roots," Amy stated. Thank you Blaise, I prayed as the two nodded their heads and let us in. It was an exclusive party that no Gryffindor were allowed: just Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and a few lucky Hufflepuff. Malfoy told me to act intelligent for once so I had to act pompous and smart. It shouldn't be that hard but as I looked around at all the people dancing and the thick smell of booze in the air, I seriously doubted my acting skills; Amy and I looked at each other with worried looks. I looked around at all the people dancing. Most of them looked either high or drunk and stumbling already with their skanky or rather intricate costumes. I smiled and walked forward. I loved parties.
"I can't wait to see Blaise's costume," Amy whispered. I grinned over at her. "Hey look, there's Malfoy. He took your advice on costume shopping." I looked over to see a very clean cut man wearing a very white pinstripe suit with a white button up shirt and a black tie around his neck. He wore a black fedora with a white band around it and a small chain wrapped around his leg. Amy smiled at me as I smirked. That was my sexy man. "Go sneak with him. I'll keep Dean and Seamus busy." I smiled over at him as she grinned. "Come back in an hour or so and relieve me for my Blaise." I nodded, winking at her as I weaved through the crowd. Most people stared because, like most of the girls in here, I wasn't skinny. I was proud of that fact. I had a little more curvature than the skinny Slytherin walking around, looking perfect in their slutty costumes. I brushed up against Malfoy, sneakily, and he looked at me from under his fedora, smirked, and winked slyly.
I kept walking and headed to the back of the room where the drinks and food were at. I leaned against the table with my hands firmly pressed against table and my legs straightening up. I grabbed a cup and poured myself some of the punch that I knew was spiked. What kind of party would this be if the Slytherin didn't spike the bunch?
"I told you that you'd wear a slutty costume, you slut," a heard a husky voice slur in my ear. That tone enticed me and I smiled, keeping my back to him as his warm, minty breath tickled the back of my neck. "My mom loved the costume idea, you know. She bought me this tux and said to thank the girl who came up with it." I chuckled and looked over at him finally. God he was so fine.
"You're welcome," I whispered, smirking at him as he poured himself a drink. "Sometimes I wish the hat sorted me into Slytherin so I can show you some real slutty moves." Malfoy chuckled, rolling his eyes as I made a cocky face. "Have you seen Blaise?" Malfoy shook his head.
"He's been waiting for that Taylor chick," he whispered. I nodded, glancing back at the crowd that was too drunk or high to notice Malfoy talking to me, thank god. That would end horribly.
"Where's that pug faced obsession of yours?" Malfoy shot me a look and I chuckled.
"She's coming later. She's going to be dressed up as the goddess Aphrodite." I nodded, taking a sip of my punch and almost coughing it back up. I made a sour face as Malfoy chuckled. "Can't handle your alcohol, huh?" I glared over at him.
"I can. I wasn't ready for the kick," I answered. Malfoy chuckled, obviously not believing me. "Well my dates are probably waiting for me. I was given an hour to hang with you but you're obviously a little drunk so I think I should catch up to you before I chat with you, Malfoy." Malfoy smirked at me as I finally noticed just how drunk he was. He wouldn't stop leaning on the table and his cheeks were a bit rosy. His eyes looked drifty as well but I didn't care. He looked sexy drunk. "Oh, by the way, where's the smoke coming from?"
"The right corner," he answered, narrowing his eyes at me. I smiled. "Jenn, don't tell me you smoke." I shrugged and walked away from him. Malfoy watched after me, like I figured he would as I weaved through the crowds before finally popping my lower back. I heard Malfoy's chuckle from where I was and I glanced back at him to see him shaking his head at me before downing another drink and instantly dancing with some chick. I shook my head at him and weaved through the crowd trying to find my gang.
…::::…
"This party rocks!" Amy screamed, waving her arms in the air as she wobbled around. I laughed as Dean wrapped his arms around me. It was more than a couple hours later and I had a lot of drinks, and inhales, by this time. Dean was smashed and Seamus was sloshed. I couldn't even understand Seamus when he spoke but it was funny. Amy was rosy in the face from drinking and partying all night. She managed to fall and skid across the concrete so her nylons had a big hole in the knees. I made fun of her because it looked like she was giving head. She was too drunk to care about my insult so she just laughed. I knew she'd have a major hang over tomorrow.
But then there was me. I was incoherent and laughing about everything. I even laughed at a Hufflepuff who couldn't handle her alcohol and was stumbling around, mumbling something about her parents before puking into a suit of armor. I had laughed so hard I literally peed myself so I was now wearing Dean's brown pants. He had wore a pair of pants on underneath so he was good. I couldn't believe I peed myself but it was so funny!
Right now, I was dancing with Dean as a very familiar Black Eyed Peas song was on. "Black light!" someone yelled and paint was thrown everywhere. It seemed to come out of nowhere and I screamed as Dean hollered out. Amy was waving her arms around still, keeping her mouth closed as the bizarre paint flew over everyone, coating everyone. Suddenly, the lights flashed off and the paint glowed. It was now an official black light party. I yelled out in excitement as I took another sip of my bubble juice. Dean's arms wrapped around me and I grinned, grinding along with him. I knew I'd be regretting this tomorrow but Dean knew it was harmless fun, I hope.
Insane laughter echoed and I looked over, wobbly, to see that Parkinson bitch stumbling around wearing a very sexy Aphrodite costume that was practically falling off of her. I have never seen a teenage girl so sloshed that she didn't know her boob and her crotch were hanging out but I found myself laughing. Humiliation would come tomorrow, most definitely. Dean's hard laughter shook behind me as his large arm pointed over at Parkinson. I looked over at him and his eyes were bloodshot. I made him inhale and he was taking it hard. I laughed about it. Dean was a champ. I knew he'd be sleeping bomb tonight but wake up tomorrow and eat all the good in the great hall in the morning.
This was definitely a night to remember as I spun around and waved my arms around as Dean's large arms waved up as well as I screamed the lyrics to the song. I loved this band. They were my favorite muggle singers. I loved techno music and they almost always had techno sounding backgrounds. I loved it. I screamed the lyrics louder as the crowd seemed to move in slow motion. I was so glad I came to this party. I was having a blast. I looked over to see Malfoy standing over by the wall, studying the crowd as he held a small red cup in his hand. I smiled over at him and he caught my gaze, smirking over at me. I wished I wasn't a Gryffindor for just this night. I'd make Malfoy dance with me. I spun around in a circle as the music switched to an even cooler techno song. The black light around us increased as it was added with a strobe light. Amy hollered with excitement as she wave her body to the music and swung her hips insanely. I laughed and kept dancing.
After a while, I announced I needed some more liquid so Dean started dancing by himself as I drifted away. I was stumbling mainly because it was hard to walk in high heels while drunk. It was like walking on pins. It hurt and was hard. I stumbled to the table and grabbed another drink, smiling as I sipped it. "Oh, badass!" some random guy yelled beside me. I grinned and hollered out. "This girl thinks she's a champ! Let's prove that! Shot time!" he yelled and his little group laughed. I shrugged as he pulled out two shot glasses. I noticed them as doubles. I wasn't good with doubles. I couldn't hold my breath worth shit. "It's going to be pure tequila! Where are the limes?" I could tell this was a boy that had to have a muggle parent. The magical world just drank bubble juice that was pretty much like drinking pure whiskey or vodka but never tequila.
"Limes?" I joked. "Pussy! No limes. No salt. Just pure tequila!" I shouted and the boy laughed, nodding in agreement. That was my biggest mistake. Lime took away the sourness to tequila but I didn't care. I took the shot and held it up. He held it up and we twisted our arms around the others and took our shots. The potent taste raced down my throat and almost made it gag but I held it back as I slammed my shot down, hollering out as the throat burned. The boy made a noise of defeat as his friends laughed, congratulating me.
Next thing I knew, the boy had begun puking. I was swift enough to dodge out of the way but that resulted me into falling into someone. We fell to the ground and one of the smaller food tables and the food come crashing down on me and the other person. I began laughing as I fell off the person, looking over to see a very red in the face Malfoy. I giggled and poked the tip of nose, wanting badly to kiss him but I wasn't blacking out drunk. I looked over at the guy to see that his friends were leading him to the "puke corner". I laughed and Malfoy began standing so I stood, rather sloppily. Malfoy chuckled and steadied.
"No more alcohol for you," he whispered. I giggled and somehow, my drunkenness made me grab the side of his face and pull his head to me. Our lips crashed together in a strong taste and smell of booze and our tongue locked together. Malfoy was just as sloshed as me. I wrapped my arms fully around his neck and circled my tongue around us as his teeth grabbed my tongue before sucking. I giggled and pulled back before smashing my lips onto his. I didn't care. Tonight was perfect and now that I was making out with Malfoy, it was even more perfect.
I just was not looking forward to tomorrow morning. Munchies and a hangover? Sounds crappy to me!
