Late that night the 'angels' stumbled into the Gryffindor common room.
Apart from Laurie, who was holding Felicity over her shoulder, the angels
had been drinking. They stumbled in Ilana shouting everything she said and
Ebony had lost her top. The five friends turned around from the fireplace
and stared at them. It wasn't unusual for the girls to drink, they had been
doing it since their 3rd year but they were actually in quite early,
10:30pm. Sirius quickly rushed over to Laurie and grabbed Felicity's other
arm, Laurie smiled warmly. It was natural and unusual; Sirius was not
expecting it and tripped causing a loud bang on the floor. Laurie had been
caught off guard and started mumbling to herself.
"Teach me to bloody be nice" Though it didn't keep him down long. He jumped
and smiled a goofy smile, Laurie just frowned.
"Sorry" He said dropping the smile
"No worries, help me out here!" She said. The two other girls had already
made their way to the dorm.
"What has she been drinking?" Sirius said pulling his head away after
getting a whiff of her breath
"Vodka, Bracardi, Whisky. You name she's had it. Don't know when to stop
this girl!" She said making her way forward, she stopped again. Sirius was
having trouble keeping Felicity on his shoulder. Laurie laughed loudly
causing her to throw her hand over her mouth and Sirius stop dead, they
both dropped Felicity on the floor. Laurie tried to hold it in but
couldn't, she burst out laughing again, Sirius joined her but they quickly
hushed up. The four remaining friends sat looking quite disturbed but
watching like their life depended on it. Laurie doesn't smile, she doesn't
laugh and she doesn't act nice!
"So what have you been drinking"
"Nothing" Laurie replied bending down to pick a now moaning felicity up
"Unlike you" Sirius replied joining her
"Hardly!" Laurie frowned "I never drink!" They both carefully picked
Felicity back up and put her on their shoulders.
"Why?" Sirius asked
"Because you don't know who's about and how vulnerable you are when you
haven't drank let alone when you're like this!" Laurie exclaimed thrusting
her head down towards Felicity. Sirius didn't quite understand what she
meant and his eyes starred deeply into hers, searching for the answer. Her
eyes slowly moved towards James who was now sitting on the couch watching
his two peers. Sirius gave a knowing nod and they both looked down,
saddened.
"Anyway. We better get this one to bed," Sirius said pushing his thoughts
away from the horror that happened a year ago.
"Yeah, yeah sure" Laurie answered as they both dragged the fallen angel up
to her dorm.
