Chapter 1

Boys

In the boys dormitory; late one night after a Quidditch win; of their 6th year at Hogwarts; Seamus Finnigan was Irish boy with light brown hair , Dean Thomas, a black boy with chocolate brown eyes, Neville Longbottom a round-faced forgetful boy with a fear of potions and a lack of gracefulness, Ronald Weasley was red headed boy that is tall and is best friend to Harry Potter, the boy-who-lived, with jet black hair that is always untidy, emerald green eyes that are kind of hidden behind glasses, with a lightning shaped scar on his forehead, are all talking about the game.

At about 9:30, there was some tapping at the window. Ron got up from the floor of the middle of the room and opened the window. An owl that looked like it was from Fred and George Weasley, Ron's twin brothers that looked exactly alike also with red hair, that left school just the year before, Ron's whole family had red hair in fact, Ron being the second youngest in the family. Ron took the parcel that was tied to the owl's leg, the owl took flight out the window, to the Owlery.

"Ron, what's in the package?" asked Seamus.

"I don't know, what do you think is in it?" said Ron.

"Open it and find out," said Harry.

When Ron unwrapped the package, all the boys were staring at the bottle that was where the package was. "Is that what I think it is?" asked Neville.

"Oh my god, it is," said Dean, "It's Butter Rum."

"Butter Rum?" asked Harry.

"Butter Rum is alcohol, a hard to get and expensive alcohol," said Ron. Ron sat there looking at the bottle then asked, "Do you think they tampered with it?"

Harry took the bottle from Ron and looked at the seal and said, "It's still closed, I don't think they tampered with it."

Ron looked at Harry and was about to say something about it, but Neville started talking first, "You never know with Fred and George."

"Yeah, but . . . ," started Harry but was interrupted by Dean.

"You going to open it or what?"

Harry looked at Dean, then at Seamus, Neville and then Ron. "Do you want me to open it or do you want to Ron," answered Harry.

Ron smiled and said, "I'll open it since they sent it to me." Ron started to open it, then stopped and said, "Are we drinking it out of the bottle or are we drinking it out of our own cups?"

"Uh, cups," said Neville.

"OK, someone transfigure something for the cups," said Ron.

There was complete silence for a minute or two where no one volunteered. Finally Seamus said he would do it. While Seamus was transfiguring things for 5 cups, Ron opened the bottle and put a warming charm on it. When the cups were filled and handed out to each boy in the group they took a swig of their drink and let the burning sensation go down their throats.
