A/N: sorry this chapter's so short, it's the party scene and I didn't want to combine this chapter with the next.
THX and cookies to penguinpink for the review. I sorry if this fic turns into a Mary Sue, I'm trying not to fall off the edge of MS and OC. And yes, Anna has been going to Hogwarts since she was ten :blush: I thought I was being straight-forward enough, but I read back over it and realized I wasn't, sorry )
THX also to cookiedoughicream for her review

Butterbeer! (hic)
"Come in (hic) Sirius!" He looked suspiciously at the empty cup in Anna's hand.
"What are you drinking?"
"It's supposed to be (hic) butterbeer. But I wouldn't bet on it," she giggled.
"I want some." She sort of flowed through the crowd until they came to the refreshment table.
"Two butterbeers (hic) please." Two fifth year, who apparently had imbibed the alleged butterbeer too, poured the drinks. Sirius took a swig.
"This is not butterbeer." He took another. "But it is good." The hosts of honor ran up to them.
"Anna, it's time!" She made a vague waving motion with her hand.
"Go to the fireplace (hic) then.' She started to follow them.
"My father (hic) is going to talk to them through the Floo (hic) Network. Oh, Hi Dad!" Mr. Roberts' head was surrounded in flame, but he was talking like it was a sunny spring day.
"Hello, Anna." A second head appeared, then a third.
"Hi, Anna! Love your hair!" Mr. Roberts' head disappeared.
"Hi, Delilah, Lucy. How (hic) are you?"
"Are you drunk!"
"Quite possibly," she giggled.
"You'd better sober up quick, mom's coming!" Anna looked horrified and schooled her features into something approaching normalcy.
"Hello, Anna! Did you dye your hair?" Anna struggled not to hiccup.
"Hi mom. I have to go. Here's Cory and Cora." She walked away in what was a drunk trying to be sober girl's attempt at a straight line.
"Would you like to dance?" Sirius, who had downed three more glasses of the tainted soda, asked over the din.
"Sure."
