Disclaimer: as before

A week later, and Lily was holding a small party in her dorm. Her and James hadn't fought for a couple of days, so he'd invited some people too. Sitting around the room where Lily, Dana, Cass, James, Sirius and Remus Lupin. The other marauder, Peter Pettigrew, said he couldn't come because he was going to Hogsmeade with Katie, one of Lily's old roommates.

Dana sat across the room from Sirius, glaring at him. Sirius glared back. Lily glared at James. She had told him not to invite Sirius. James glared back. Remus smiled softly at Cass. Cass smiled back.

"I have some muggle alcohol," Lily said suddenly, grinning. She pulled out a bottle of Vodka.

An hour later and Lily had introduced them all to the muggle game of Spin the Bottle. Sirius spun the bottle and got Dana. By this time, they were both too drunk to be glaring at each other, and when Sirius kissed her, she kissed back, and before long they were making out again. Lily shook her head at them as they decided not to include them anymore and she spun the bottle. James. Oh fuck. She looked at him. She leant forward and kissed him softly. And he kissed her back. She felt the warmth of his kiss and wanted to stay like this forever. When they finally pulled away to breath, James pulled her back to him, wrapping his strong arms around her and kissing her. Before long, his hands were everywhere; her arse, her thighs, her breasts. Lily pulled off his top and ran her hands on his muscular chest.

Lily woke up in the morning to find herself lying next to James on their common room floor. She sat up and saw that Sirius and Dana were lying in another corner, together. Cass was lying on the couch and Remus was lying on the floor in another corner of the room. With a splitting headache, Lily stumbled into the shower.

By 10 am they were all down in the great hall eating breakfast. To the others there it was the funniest sight.

Dana and Sirius sat across from each other, glaring, the memories of last night fresh in their minds. Lily and James sat across from each other, glaring, the memories of last night fresh in their minds. Remus sat between Lily and Dana, glaring at Sirius and James for taking advantage of the drunken state of their girls. Cass glared at Lily for unknown reasons.

"Cass, could you please ask Sirius to pass the salt," Dana said.

"Sirius, could you pass the salt?"

"Tell Dana I said I won't pass the salt."

"Dana, he says-"

"I know what he says!"

"Cass, could you please pass the milk?" Lily asked.

"Why don't you ask James?!" Cass retorted.

"Remus, could you please ask Dana to stop kicking me under the table?" Sirius said.

"Dana, could you-"

"I heard what he said!"

"Ow!" Sirius yelped as Dana kicked him harder.

"Remus, could you ask Lily to take off the curse?" James said as he poured another glass of water over his head.

"You guys are ridiculous!" Said Josh, who'd been listening to their conversation ever since they'd come down. "Get over it, whatever it is!"

"He keeps on fucking around with me!" Dana yelled.

"She thinks I want a relationship!" Sirius yelled.

"She says she wasn't even conscious when we kissed last night!" James yelled.

"He's so far up himself he thinks I wanted to kiss him!" Lily yelled.

"They both took advantage of the girls!" Remus yelled.

"She made out with the guy I love!" Cass yelled.

"Okay." Josh took a deep breath. "Dana – he'll only fuck around if you let him. Sirius – of course she thinks you want a relationship! You can't go around kissing anyone! James – well, she was drunk, but I actually think you have a good point. Lily – obviously you had some desire to kiss him, no matter how remote it was. Remus – it's their problem, stay out of it. Cass – she's a bitch. Unless she didn't know, of course. Then you're majorly overreacting!"

With that they all stood up and stalked their separate ways out of the Great Hall.

That night Dana and Lily were taking a walk in the grounds of Hogwarts, complaining about Sirius and James.

"I can't believe him!" Dana said, shaking her head in disgust. "He's the most uncaring bastard in the world!"

"He's a womanizer!" Lily said. "But forget about him, Dana! Tonight's Saturday night and we're gonna find Josh and Keenan and go out to Hogsmeade!"

"Oh, Lily, not tonight. I just wanna go up to my room and think."

"Sure you don't wanna go? It'd be fun!"

"Yeah." Dana nodded. "You can still go if you want."

"Nah. No fun without you."

"Sorry."

"Don't be."

"Well, it's getting late. I think I'll go up to bed. See you tomorrow for study." Dana said, walking back to the castle.

Lily walked around for a bit longer, and then decided it was probably time for her to go to bed too. She shivered in the cold night air as she walked back to the castle. The Great Hall was deserted, and so were most of the other parts of the school. After all, it was nearly midnight.

She entered her dorm and stopped dead in the doorway. James was sitting on the couch. With Cass. And they were making out. Lily turned around and walked out, but James didn't miss the look of anger on her face. She walked down the hall to the Gryffindor Common Room, where she sat down in front of the fire and fell asleep. When she woke up and looked at the time, it was nearly 4am. She decided it was probably time to go back to her dorm, so she quietly made her way back. James was sitting, alone, on the couch.

"Hey, Evans," He said.

Lily glared at him. Why did she feel angry? She hated him, remember? "Have fun tonight?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well, last night you make out with me, tonight Cass, who tomorrow?"

"Why do you care, Evans?" He said nastily.

"I'm going to bed." Lily stalked out of the room.
