The room shifted again.
"If this is going the way I think it's going then…." Sirius said
The room had changed into a cabin upon a ship.
"It's not one of my more glorious moments you know." He said.
Maya said nothing.

"Okay, draw from the hat." James spoke. After many suggestions they had resorted to the basic muggle method of choosing tasks they must do for the night.
Remus, Sirius, and Peter looked at the bowler hat skeptically.
"You're sure it's fair?" Sirius asked.
"Yes, yes. Now draw." James said.
The plan was to get the Death Eaters on board, all eight of them. A dream potion would be given that would make them sleep, but at the same time make them think that they haven't missed a thing, while one of the members would go and pick up the stone ahead of time. However, they had overlooked something while in the process of planning. All of the Death Eaters on board were male. So the initial plan that was thought up, which involved Sirius and Remus cooing them as males into drinking the potions will not work. That mishap was the result of some not so accurate information they received that stated that all the members were to be females.
Sirius sighed as he drew his name, then Remus', then Peter's.
"YES!" Peter shouted. "I get to do pick-up!"
"Do you want to trade?" Remus offered.
"Peter trade with me!" Sirius demanded.
Peter however did not concur with either of them and disappeared with a small pop.
"Now you have to drink these." James handed them each a glass of polyjuice potion. Both of them were pink. Remus' was glowing dangerously, while Sirius's had sparkly swirls, it was SPARKLING!
"Remind us why you can't do this?" They both asked.
"Ah well, it's my wedding tonight. And it would not be best if Lily found out that I had to flirt with men in the morning." James smiled. The two didn't seem satisfied with James' answer. "And all the others have their jobs to do so its up to the two of you."
Remus and Sirius looked at each of their glasses like they contained poison, but took a brave gulp and drank their contents. When Sirius opened his eyes he realized that there was a pretty blond who had curly, shoulder-length hair standing in front of him. He stopped himself from thinking of a pick up line when he realized that it was Remus. Looking at the mirror he realized that he was pretty attractive with long raven hair down to his knees, heck he would go out with himself.
James handed the two their uniforms while suppressing a snicker. Sirius realized why he was snickering when he read his nametag… "WHAT KIND OF NAME IS THAT?!" At this James burst out laughing.
Remus looked over and read. "Peaches." He then collapsed into laughter as well; his own name wasn't as bad - Rebecca.
"Your… Name… Is…" James was able to get those words out before doubling-over for the third time in laughter.
"If either of you call me by that name I swear." His eyes shot them a cold glare but the two didn't pay him any mind as they kept on laughing.
"Who got these uniforms anyway?" Sirius asked scowling when his friends were able to gain a hold of themselves.
"Corra and Emmeline got them." James smiled. It was no surprise to Sirius that Corra and Emiline would do such a thing. It was unavoidable since they were Lily's maids of honor and members of the Order. They both had begun torturing him like such ever since they said they supposedly forgiven him for not writing them owls after dating them.
Remus and Sirius changed into their uniforms and made their way to the bar on the main deck. Sirius realized that his maroon costume showed more cleavage than he would've liked. Remus had a short pink dress as his uniform that made him look extremely attractive... No, it's Remus for gods sakes. Sirius said to himself when they reached the bar.
The first three Death Eaters they spotted were easy prey since it was Sirius who was the bartender and Remus who was the waitress. After the Death Eaters had drunk the potion either Remus or Sirius was able to send them back to their rooms with a tap of their wand. The fourth Death Eater was extremely annoying to Sirius, who had a great urge to curse him to death since he was hitting on him with no shame.
Remus was having a harder time with the people that were hitting on him though, since every time he walked around the guys near him start whistling and shouting their name and room number. Remus kept a smiling face however, and Sirius actually believed that Remus was enjoying himself until Remus came up to the bar. "Keep a mental note of their names for me. I would like to be near their house the next full moon." He growled. It was of some comfort to know at least that Remus wasn't having any more fun than he was.
After Sirius had sent the fifth Death Eater to his room he heard someone call his new alias.
"Hi PEACHES!"
Sirius, extremely agitated by this point, turned and gave the caller a death glare. Then realized that it was Corra and Emmeline.
"You two are pure evil." Sirius said to them as he served them both iced slushies with umbrellas.
"Awww. Not enjoying yourself?" Corra joked.
"I've been hit on more than I would have liked to be today, thanks to you, and by guys nonetheless." Sirius said, agitated. "I might have appreciated it more if they were women, though...." He added as an afterthought.
"We heard from a group of guys that there was a hot new bartender, but it couldn't be you, then." Emmeline said sarcastically. Sirius shot her a cold glare.
"Temper, temper now." They said laughing. "Scowling is not very becoming of a lady."
Just then a group of guys decided to whistle as Remus passed them by. Some of the were shouting their room numbers again.
"That's just rude!" Corra spoke turning around and eyeing the group of men.
"Have you been letting them do that all day?" Emmline said shocked. "Poor Rem- Rebecca." Emmline caught herself.
The two ladies departed to give the whistling group to give them a piece of their mind. Remus noticing that the whistling and jeering died down. "I think they like you better." Sirius said to Remus commenting of Corra and Emmline.
"Remind me to give them thank yous later." He said to Sirius when he picked up the sixth Dream Potion. It was about noon when Sirius served the eighth Dream Potion and sent the guy back to his room. Remus and Sirius then changed back into themselves. Never wanting to see those uniforms again, both Sirius and Remus burnt them into crisps with a wave of their wand. Sirius blew his nametag into oblivion with extreme gusto. They still had six hours left before the wedding. Thankful to be male again, Remus went help Corra and Emmline place sleeping charms on all the muggles on board. Sirius went about fulfilling his Best Man duties. Then decided that he needed to get some of his male dignity back.
