Chapter Nine: New Years Eve...PARTY!
Sirius, Jen, Remus, Terry, and Lily wanted to help James get his mind off of things. The only things that Sirius could come up with was either getting him laid or getting him drunk. Lily opted for getting him drunk for what I hope are obvious reasons.
"Well, considering that it is December thirty-first, we should throw a New Years Eve party," Terry suggested.
"Hmm...we can change the password so that McGonagall can't get into the common room," said Lily.
"Lily, dear, I think we have officially corrupted you," said Sirius. Remus laughed and nodded.
"We're going to need a bit more than butterbeer," said Jen. "Where can we get a shitload of Firewhiskey?"
"Me and Sirius can do that, no problems," Remus said.
"So us three will plan this out while you three boys get the Firewhiskey," Terry said, clapping her hands together.
"Get food too," said Lily. "What would a party be without food? Oh, and some butterbeer for the younger students would be good."
"One of us *will* need to stay sober tonight," Jen pointed out.
"I will," said Lily. "I'm not a fan the Firewhiskey anyway."
Lily used her status as Head Girl to change the password to get into Gryffindor Tower. Remus, Sirius, and Peter 'borrowed' James' invisibility cloak and made a few trips to Hogsmeade...eleven actually... The girls decorated the common room a bit with 'Happy New Year!' banners and stuff.
James spent the day in his dorm.
"James, come down to the common room, please," Lily said. She had invited herself into the room and sat down on James' bed.
"No thanks, Lils, I don't feel like it right now," James said flatly.
"Come on, James," said Lily. "It's New Years Eve. Me, Jen, Terry, Re, Si, and Peter have a party starting up downstairs.""McGonagall's going to stop it anyways."
"No she won't."
"What d'you mean? She always-""I have taken the liberty of changing the password to the Tower without telling her...she can't get in."
"You've been hanging around with us for too long."
"Why does everyone keep saying that? I came to that conclusion on my own!"
James sighed. "I'll go down for a little while. Happy?"
"Very much so," said Lily happily.
"I'm a little teapot-hic-short and-hic-stout-hic..."
Remus gave Lily a high five.
"Mission accomplished, my dear Lillian," said Remus. "He's piss drunk."
Jen joined James on the table that he was standing on and they sang together. "Here is my-hic-handle-hic-here is my-hic-spout!""And that is just a tad disturbing," said Lily.
"Just a tad?" Remus repeated. "More like *VERY* disturbing.""So, we got him drunk, what about tomorrow morning's hangover?""I'm one and a half steps ahead of you, Lils," Remus said with a smile. In my trunk at this very moment is six, count 'em, six bottles of Antitox potion...the other non-sober people in here are kind of out of luck.
"It's almost-hic-midnight!" a very drunk Jen yelled.
"Everyone QUIET!" an equally drunk Sirius shouted.
James started the count down. "Hic-ten, nine-hic-eight, seven, six, five-hic-four, three-hic-two, ONE!"
Everyone in the common room shouted, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
"Griffin?""no.""Brave heart?""Nope, sorry."
"Lemon drops?"
"No, dear."Yep, you guessed it, McGonagall was trying to get into the Gryffindor common room to stop the party, but the Fat Lady wouldn't let her in.
"I am the Head of House! Open up immediately!""I'm sorry, professor, but if you do not have the new password I can not let you in."
At about one thirty a.m., McGonagall gave up on it. She went back to her quarters, muttering obscene things the whole way...
It was close to four a.m. before most people passed out. Terry, who decided not to drink too much Firewhiskey, Remus, and Lily managed to drag their drunk friends minus Peter up to the boys' dormitory. Peter had passed out earlier and they had put him to bed already.
Remus put Sirius on his bed with a bowl next to him, just in case.
Terry put Jen on the sofa before Transfiguring the desk in the corner into a couch.
James was actually still awake. Lily sat him down on his bed.
"Lily?"
"Yeah, James?""You're bea-hic-utiful."
Lily smiled. "Thank you, James. You aren't that bad looking yourself."
"I love you, Li-" Yeah, he kind of puked...all over Lily. "Whoops...sorry." Then, he passed out.
"That's okay, James," Lily whispered. She took a pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt out of James' trunk and went into the bathroom to take a quick shower.
When she reentered the dorm, Terry was fast asleep and Remus was pulling down his covers. He went into the bathroom. James had reawaken and was leaning over his bowl...need I say more?
When he was all done, Lily offered him some Ice Mice, which took care of his breath.
"Lay down, James, I'll tuck you in," she said, patting his pillow.
"Lily, will you lay with me?" James asked in slurred speech as he put his head on the pillow.
Lily smiled. He was quite cute when he was, well, drunk. "Of course I will."
Remus walked back into the dorm and saw Lily sleeping in his drunk friend's arms. They seemed to fit together perfectly. He smiled. He walked over to James' bed and put the comforter over the two before going to sleep himself.
James slowly opened his eyes, he felt a nasty migraine and a huge wave of nausea wash over him.
He sat up and looked around for something to vomit into, disturbing the slumbering red-head in his arms as he did so.
"Wha-?" Lily's eyes were half open and she couldn't comprehend what had caused her abrupt return to consciousness...then she saw James and smiled. "Too much Firewhiskey?"
She got up and went over to Remus' trunk to get James some Antitox Potion. Right on top were the six bottles of potion. Lily took one out and threw it to James.
"What is this?""It's an Antitox Potion," said Lily. "Drink it all."James downed the entire bottle and, almost instantly, he felt as good as new, top notch, one hundred percent...yada yada yada...
(A/N: Don't mean to interrupt, but President Bush is speaking right now about going to war with Iraq. I am scared shitless of war! SHITLESS! I don't want to go to war...so many things could go wrong...I really hope that Saddam just leaves within the forty-eight hours that are given to him...I'm sorry to interrupt the story...I just had to get that out...thanks...)
"Why did you give me so much Firewhiskey?" James asked.
"Because you were so depressed...you needed a little fun."
"I think I have a *reason* to be a little depressed, Lily," James said. "My mother..." he trailed off.
Lily hugged them. "I know, James. We just don't like to see you so down...plus, Sirius *really* wanted Firewhiskey. We were trying to think of something else to do, but all these idiots could come up with was laid and drunk..."
Understood," said James.
"James, I understand that you're never going to be the way you were before, we just want you to be as happy as you can be."
"I get it, Lils. And, if I wasn't just drinking Antitox Potion, I'd kiss you right now."
"Go and brush your teeth, and don't forget mouthwash either!"
"Yes, ma'am," James said, marching to the bathroom.
