Erica looked up at Vicky from the chair and sang "For a second I wish the tide, would swallow every inch of this city!"

"Erica shut up" she stated plainly

"k"

"Miss Barton..."

"AH!" the magazine she was reading was now in the air and Erica fell off the chair.

"Professor Lupin. Hi. Didn't see ...or hear you come in."

"I can tell ..." he smiled. She blushed and hid behind a magazine.

Vicky was just sitting there staring at him, as he turned and walked up to the boys section going to get Harry.

"Hey Vicky, yeah, wipe that little slob of drool right there on your chin, there you go." She said and winked at her friend and returned to her magazine.

"See if you wouldn't randomly sing, people wouldn't have to comment, and your face wouldn't have to match the color of the couch."

"You're insane, I never sing, that's a first, I can't sing moron, and I'm not the singer in the band."

"And whose fault is that?"

"Yours." She smirked

"Erica...how is it my fault? I'm not even in the band. What do I have to do with It.?"

"Err...I don't know, but you do, plus I can't play guitar without a strap, since mine broke, so I'm talent-less."

"Yes you are."

"Thank you Vicky" she said sarcastically.

Vicky grunted and secretly checked to see if she really was drooling.

30 minutes later

"Vicky..." Erica whimpered.

"What" she asked angrily.

"Can we get wasted?"

Vicky looked up from her book.

"Erica, remember when you asked me that this summer, and you drank ¾'s the bottle of Brandy, and you were puking for like the next two days? Remember that? REMEMBER HOW I WASTED 30$ on YOU THAT WEEKEND!"

"Yes I remember, plus the pizza was 13$ so that means you spent 6.50 on me plus the Tylenol you bought for me was 5$ and the ticket to your muggle recidle thing was 18 so that's...29.50...oh...right...yeah..."

Vicky Glared at Erica like the idiot she was.

"Here" she said handing Vicky 3 galleons, "that's like 30 American dollars...plus, I didn't know brandy could get you that wasted."

"I don't have any booze Erica..."

"I do!" She reached in her pocket and found a piece of plastic, an old keychain, she closed her eyes and thought of it, she opened her eyes to finder herself staring at two bottles of jack Daniels, her grin so wide, you could almost hear the skin stretch.

She handed a bottle to Vicky...

"Let's drink our hopes away like little emo kids we aren't!"

Vicky smiled. "Bottoms up!"

They both chugged about half before tearing away from the bottle and laughing like maniacs.

"I give it 15 minutes before we get drunk" Erica said.

Vicky nodded.

------------

5 minutes later

"Dude, you have a boob on your chest!" Vicky yelled pointing at Erica.

Erica looked down and screamed "AH GET IT OFF DUDE!" she tried to pull it off and yelped "Dude...its attached! AHH THERES TWO" Erica fell back in panic.

Vicky fell off the couch laughing "amah you have TWO boobs, your going to look like a freak or something ha-ha"

Erica got up and went to sit in the corner. She looked up at the Christmas tree.

"Vicky, its Christmas!1 MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

Vicky got up and looked at a calendar and frowned "no Christmas is in a week, everybody's gone home except us."

Erica took off her shirt and threw it at Vicky "pissbrain" She yelled.

Erica got up to leave the common room but looked down and noticed the half empty bottle "Expellimos feelidos" and the bottle filled up to its full height.

As she exited the Fat Lady made a comment "celebrating the holidays a wee bit early Miss Barton?"

"Sod off" she said and flicked off the picture. She walked out to the lake and sat. She stood up and started singing (it wasn't good singing either)

"CRACKED MY HEAD OPEN ON YOUR KITCHEN FLOOR TO PROVE TO YOU THAT I HAVE Brains...blah blah..." she stopped swearing she heard footsteps.

"YOUR VOICE IS LIKE THE SOUND OF SIRENS, TO A HOUSE ON FIRE, YOU'RE SAVING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" she dropped her knees "Fine time to fake a seizure, too feel your mouth on mine. You're saving me." She whirled around to see the potions professor staring at her.

"SPEAKING of voice's like the sound of sirens." She took a swig and whispered "you're saving me" and she started towards the lake.

"Miss Barton, I believe you are underage." He walked followed her.

"Believe what you want, I sure as hell do." she stopped and plopped down on the grass. Ann then stood back up and stood right in front of him and poked him in the chest. "I've heard about your kind, yeah ..." She got close to his face and looked into his eyes... "I see right through you, I know. Yes I know your evil kind and all your mini-Snapes. OH YES! You can't hide forever SEVERUS can you? Oh no, you can't. It was funny because just the other day I saw a mini-Snape run across the common room floor, and I almost stomped on it thinking it was a cockroach, then I saw that it was a mini-Snape and picked him up and set him free, but your just a WEE bit bigger than him, it'll be hard to pick you up and set you free." She moved her hands on his waist and tried to pick him up, he just stared at her, her left eye started twitching she trying to hard, "Ok, Plan B, You go free yourself." She looked out to the lake, and talking to no one imparticular, she pointed to Snape and said "THIS...YES...SEES THIS? This is a Mini-Snape...on steroids." And she dropped her hands and picked up her bottle and walked over to a big rock and sat on it, and drank the rest.
