Chapter 20
"Now be good." Those were the last words that were spoken to Bolt, Zazza and Blondie by Sirius and Remus. They soon left them with Ron and his twin brothers.
"What time are we meeting Lucky and Jock?" Blondie asked as they sat in The Leaky Caldron.
"Five" Bolt answered his voice muffled as it was full of food.
Ron looked down at his watch. "That means we have two and a half hours!" He exclaimed, spitting half chewed chips on Blondie. She dusted them off grudgingly and shot Ron a dirty look.
Bolt and Zazza smiled. "Don't worry Blondie will take care of you; she'll show you all the sights of London. Won't you Blondie?" Bolt said.
She nodded. "Yep, no one knows London better than a street kid!"
"And what are you going to be doing?" Ron asked.
"Business. That's all you need to know." Zazza replied. Ron and the twins looked uneasy about this but didn't voice their opinions.
They finished their food and made their way outside. Blondie went off with the twins and Bolt and Zazza went off to do their 'business'.
"First off I need to get a dress for the party." Blondie wandered into a store where the twins and Ron had to endure half an hour of Blondie trying on dresses. She eventually chose a long red dress that cut off at the shoulder.
Ron narrowed his eyes when Blondie laid the dress across a shelf and began to walk away. "Aren't you going to get that?"
Blondie smiled and winked. "I am." As Ron followed his brothers and Blondie out he saw Bolt and Zazza (or two people who looked very alike them.) going over to where Blondie had lay the dress.
"Hey did you just see--" Ron was interrupted as Blondie yanked him out of the store.
"Ignore them; they're just buying me the dress." Blondie laughed. "Wanna go to the park? I'll introduce you to some friends of mine."
Ron took one last look at the store before following Blondie down the street.

"Bolt, Zazza. Wassup my brothers?" Lucky knocked knuckles with the two boys.
"Lucky, how's it been?" Bolt asked.
He shrugged. "Same Old, Same Old. So where's those private school kids you said you were bringing?" He looked around in case they were hiding.
"We're getting them all to meet us at Kings Cross Station. Oh that reminds me." Bolt rummaged around in his backpack and pulled out a large piece of cardboard and a marker.
"Dude what are you doing?" Lucky asked. Bolt finished writing and showed them the sign.
"Hogwarts Partygoers?" Zazza read. "Are you sure you should be holding that up in the middle of the station?"
Bolt shrugged and Lucky laughed. "Hogwarts? Does that mean something in pig Latin or something?"
"Damned if I know." Bolt laughed. "We better head to the station to meet Blondie."
"So how's old Blondie been?" Lucky asked. "She dating anyone?"
Bolt and Zazza exchanged looks. "Are you into her?"
Lucky blushed and Bolt and Zazza playfully punched him. "No she ain't and she seemed real excited when I said I saw you." Bolt explained.
"She did?" Lucky raised his eyebrows.
They entered the station and looked around for Blondie. They soon found her when she ran up to Lucky and kissed him on the cheek. "Hi Blondie." Lucky squeaked.
"Hey" She smiled and realized her arms were still rapped around him. She released him and Bolt and Zazza did a childish "Ohhhhh! Blondie and Lucky sitting in a tree. KISSING. First comes love, second comes marriage, third comes a baby in a golden carriage!"
Blondie tried to attack them and the twins edged her on. Soon Dean Thomas had appeared for the party and Bolt started holding up the sign. Pavarti and her sister Padma were the next to show up.
"Hey babes." Bolt threw his arms around their shoulders. "It's good to see you and your sister."
"Hi Bolt." Pavarti kissed him on the cheek. "I wouldn't miss this for the world."
"You look great." He complimented. She brushed her hair back out of her face and he tried not to look down her top. It was hard since their wasn't much of the top to begin with.
"I gotta get dressed too!" Blondie declared. "Did you get the dress?"
"In the backpack." Bolt nodded. Blondie grabbed the dress and rushed off to the toilets.
The next to arrive was Lee Jordan, then some sixth years Bolt didn't know and then Lavender Brown.
But the biggest surprised was yet to come. Blondie was greeting everyone, looking absolutely gorgeous when a young red headed girl appeared and Ron gasped. "Ginny what are you doing here?"
Bolt bobbed over to her and linked arms with her. She giggled and blushed the same colour as her hair. "Hello Ginny." Bolt smiled. "How are you dear?" He acted as if she was an old friend.
"I'm fine." She squeaked.
"What are you doing here?" Ron demanded.
Even her brother couldn't get the smile off her face. "I'm here for the party. I went to my friend Luna's place and we went from there."
A blonde haired girl with turnips hanging from her ears came up behind Ginny. "Hello." She said.
"Hi. I don't believe we've met." Bolt held out his hand. "Bolt Potter and you are?"
"Luna Lovegood." She replied. Bolt nodded and ringed her hand thoroughly.
"Since when are you going by Bolt Potter?" Blondie asked.
Bolt shrugged. "I think it sounds good. Like Bond. James Bond."
Zazza laughed. "I always thought of you like Cher. You know, having no last name."
"Gee, and I thought you meant he looked like Cher." Blondie joked.
Most of the people there missed the joke completely but Lavender was giggling as she was a muggleborn.
"Is that it?" Zazza looked around.
"Seems so." Bolt answered.
"Let's go then. Everyone wants to see you guys, I mean Bolt you were the only person to ever last thirteen years on the streets." Lucky explained as they walked out of the station looking quite conspicuous.
"I feel proud." Bolt laughed. People were eying him with a mix of disgust and pride. He had on one arm Ginny and on the other arm Pavarti.
"All you need now is a pimp hat." Zazza remarked as they continued down the street.
"You're just jealous since I have two and you have none." Bolt smirked dirtily.
"Excuse me I have" He pulled Padma against him and hissed in her ear. "What's your name?" "Padma" She whispered back.
"I have Padma here who is quite the young woman and makes up for two." Zazza finished.
Blondie rolled her eyes and continued with Lucky. Ron was looking murderous as Bolt walked along with Ginny and Pavarti. Whether it was jealously or brotherly protection it was funny to watch his face going maroon.
"We're on the home stretch now!" Lucky called over his shoulder as they turned down the dark alley that lead to the place. Bolt couldn't count the times he had sprinted along this alley trying to escape police, gangsters, his godfather, etc.
"And welcome" Lucky drawled. "To the place" He gestured with his arms wide open.
You could hear the bass of the music beating from the street. Lucky pulled back the piece of wire that was cut in the fence and waved his hand. "Ladies first."
Blondie ducked under the wire first, then Pavarti, Ginny, Padma, the twins, Ron, Dean, Lee and finally Zazza all ducked through. "Come on Bolt, get yer ass through."
Bolt smacked him in the head and crawled under the wire and Lucky followed him. "Zazza just head them through the kitchen window, yeah that one." Lucky called to them.
"So Bolt, wanna a joint?"
Bolt stopped dead. "What?"
"Do you want a joint?" He asked.
Bolt turned to him. "You're a dealer now?"
He nodded. "Of course tonight is all freebies. We're all family right?"
"You know Blondie will drop you in a sec if she finds out." Bolt remarked as he climbed in the window.
"I won't tell her, I'm hoping to make enough money so by the time I am eighteen I can get a place of my own and maybe get a legit job."
Bolt smiled. "Good for you, just don't go giving any drugs to the Hogwarts kids okay?"
Lucky nodded. "So do you want some or what?"
"I'm right for the moment." Bolt answered.
Lucky nodded and soon they felt the music get louder and were surged in by the crowd. Bolt had lost the others but knew most of the people and just danced with anyone. After an hour of dancing in the sweaty crowd he stumbled over to the table and grabbed a drink since he felt he was dying of thirst. He felt exhausted already. What was happening to him?
"Hey Bolt." Lucky came over with Blondie in tow. "How's it going?"
"Great" Bolt gulped down a beer. "I feel kinda tired though."
Lucky pressed something into his hand and whispered "It'll help." And went back to dancing with Blondie.
Bolt looked down in his hand and saw a small white pill. He shrugged and swallowed it down with the beer and went back to dancing.
He later found Ginny and the rest of the Hogwarts crew in the corner of the room looking almost petrified of the party around them.
Bolt swaggered over and grabbed Pavarti for a dance. She looked scared about leaving the safety of the corner but ventured out with Bolt.
He danced against Pavarti who was beginning to relax when he felt his stomach jolt. He bent over and threw up the content of his stomach on the floor. Pavarti jumped back in disgust as Bolt ran for the bathroom. He ran through and stuck his head in the filthy rusty toilet and continued to throw up.
"Bolt, dude" Zazza came in shortly after. "What happened? You usually can hold you liquor."
Bolt couldn't answer since he was still retching up his stomach in the toilet bowl.
"What's wrong with him?" Blondie asked, pushing past Zazza and looking down at Bolt.
"I dunno."
Bolt stopped vomiting and just sat for a few moments before standing up. "I'm good. Just a bad beer that's all." He reassured them.
He went back out on the dance floor and spotted Pavarti who was dancing awkwardly with Ron and Ginny. "Hey babes didn't forget me did you?" He slid his hand into Pavarti's.
She smiled and swayed with the music. "You feeling better?"
Bolt nodded and twirled her around. She laughed heartedly and flicked her hair again. Soon Bolt's lips were pressed hard against hers and she was pulling him closer. For Bolt that was the last thing he could remember. Unfortunately for everyone else it wasn't.
Bolt suddenly fell limp against Pavarti and she pushed him off of her. He plummeted to the floor and began to convulse.
Pavarti screamed and every eye turned to see him shaking on the floor madly. Blondie rushed forward and tipped him on his side as he began to make gagging noises. She thumped him on the back and he freely vomited on the floor.
"Somebody call an ambulance!" She commanded. "NOW!"
No one would face up to Blondie's fury. Most people decided to clear out before any sort of cavalry came. Lucky came and suggested they took him away from the place 'just in case'.
Blondie understood and soon Zazza was carrying him out through the fence and up the alley onto the street, where they rung for an ambulance.
Pavarti and Lavender were crying, most of the boys looked lost and afraid and Lucky was pale as a ghost.
"It's going to be okay Bolt." Blondie whispered. "It's gonna be okay."
LINE
As only one of them could get in the ambulance, the rest of the group ran to the hospital where they found out he'd taken something.
"We need to know what he took." The doctor asked, surveying them all.
"I didn't know he took anything." Zazza said faintly and the rest nodded. All except Lucky.
"He took an E."
"I beg your pardon?" The doctor and everyone in the group looked at him.
"Bolt took ecstasy." Lucky repeated.
The doctor nodded and moved off to speak with a nurse. Blondie turned to him. "You gave him drugs?" She asked angrily.
Lucky couldn't meet her eyes. He just nodded mutely.
"You stupid fuck!" Blondie shoved him. "Bolt could have died!"
"I'm sorry!" Lucky burst out. "I didn't think it would hurt him!"
"It was drugs!" Blondie screamed. "Of course it would hurt him!"
"Guys." Zazza interrupted. "What do we do about them?"
Blondie and Lucky turned to the seats of the waiting room where the Hogwarts partygoers had collapsed and looked stony-faced.
Blondie stepped forward and took charge. "I think you should all go home. What ever lies you told to get here just make some more up or something."
They all understood and began to leave when Pavarti pipped up. "Shouldn't we tell Professor Black about him?"
Zazza and Blondie faced each other, hoping someone would give the answer. Eventually Zazza said :
"No don't say anything to him. This never happened."
The group left and as it was so late at night (or early in the morning depending on which way you looked at it.) there were no others in the waiting room. They sat down and waited. Zazza had fallen asleep and was snoring (and drooling) lightly whilst Blondie and Lucky waited.
"I didn't know it would happen." Lucky repeated quietly.
Blondie turned to him and stroked his hair in an affectionate way. "I know Lucky, I know."
Lucky's hands were shaking uncontrollably as he held Blondie. "I love you." He whispered into her ear.
"What?" She pulled away. He smiled and squeezed her hand. "I've always felt something for you and when you left I realized how bad it was."
She bit her lip in thought and thrust herself forward on him. His lips connected with hers and his hand slid up her top.
"Lucky" She breathed. "I don't want to do this, not while Bolt mightn't live through the night."
He move his hand and nodded. In the end he held her in a comforting fashion.
The seconds turned to minutes and the minutes turned to hours and soon it all melted together.
LINE
"Excuse me" A voice said. Blondie wondered who it was and then the previous nights events flashed through her mind and she sat up immediately.
A doctor (a different one to the night before) stood there with a clipboard in hand. "We need some information about the patient."
"Oh" Blondie said dejected.
The doctor ignored this and looked down at his clipboard. "The patients name is?"
"Bolt" Blondie automatically answered.
The doctor raised his eyebrows and Blondie added "Harry Potter."
He nodded and continued. "And he is how old?"
"Thirteen." She answered and looked over at the clock. It was 7.30, she'd been asleep a few hours. "Shouldn't have you asked these questions when he first came in?"
"Well your friend was in bad trouble and you all looked exhausted so I didn't push it."
She smiled and he asked her the next question. "Does he have a next of kin?"
"Yes." She answered. "His Godfather…….um…..Sirius Black."
"Is there anyway to contact him?"
Blondie shook her head. "I'm not sure how you could. They just moved you see and I don't think they have a phone." She made up elaborately.
"I see." She had a feeling he didn't believe her but didn't push the matter. He asked a number of other questions before leaving her alone. It was only then she noticed Lucky's arm laying protectively across her.
"Lucky." She shoved him and he snorted and blinked himself awake.
"Wazzit? Hey Blondie, how's Bolt?"
"I don't know, they would tell us yet." She answered.
"Bogus." Lucky sat up and kicked Zazza's heads off his legs. He fell to the ground with a thump and woke up.
"Whoa. Okay, I'm good." He jumped up. "How's Bolt?"
"Don't know." She said.
"Did you have to do that mate?" Zazza cranked his neck around and sat back down.
"Yep." Lucky answered and Zazza took a swipe at him.
"I'm going to find out what's going on." Blondie jumped up and marched over to the doctor.
"Think she'll find anything out?" Zazza asked and Lucky nodded. Blondie rushed back over and said quickly:
"They had to pump his stomach, he's still feeling a bit queasy but we can go see him!"
Before they had a chance to get to his room they met someone.
"Oh shit!" Zazza cursed when he saw them. Standing just outside Bolt's room was Sirius and Remus.
"Oh crap that ain't good." Lucky remarked.
Sirius spotted them and marched over to them. "Who gave it to him?" He growled.
Lucky gulped. "I did."
Sirius got so close that Lucky could feel the heat of his breath. "Why?"
"I---I---I" Lucky stammered and Blondie cut in. "We were all doing it."
Sirius turned in disbelief at her. "You were all doing it?"
Blondie nodded and continued, "We were all having a go at it at and Bolt joined in."
Sirius began to speak in a low growl." I don't want you going anywhere near Harry again. Is that clear? Go home." He looked around them and barked "NOW!"
Zazza and Lucky cringed but Blondie stood her ground. "That's not going to help! Bolt will run off you know, that was apart of the agreement!"
"He needs real friends, friends that won't do things like this!" Sirius shouted back.
Remus stepped forward as peace keeper. "Sirius look after Harry. Blondie, Zazza I'll take you home." He only just noticed Lucky was there.
"And who are you?" He asked.
"I'm Lucky., I'll get back to the place by myself." He backed away. "Bye guys."
"Bye Lucky" Blondie and Zazza murmured.
Sirius retreated back to Bolt's room where he was beginning to wake up.
"Sirius?" He wheezed and Sirius was by his side.
"Hey, how you feeling?"
Bolt blinked and seemed to realize where he was. "Oh shit."
Sirius smiled and brushed his hair out of his eyes. "Yes Harry you are very busted."
Bolt laughed and looked around. "Where's Remus and what happened to everyone else?"
"Remus took Blondie and Zazza home."
Bolt's face lit up. "Hang on a minute, how'd you find out I was here?"
"Harry James Potter do you honestly think I am that dumb to buy the whole story of 'Ron's invited me and Blondie and Zazza whom he's never met to his house' I knew you were up to something but I let it slide in good faith hoping that you would be doing something with the other Hogwarts students."
"Well I did." Bolt joked.
"Why'd you do it? Blondie was feeding me some cock and bull story about how everyone was taking it but she doesn't seemed to be the type who would bow to peer pressure like that so what did happen?"
"I felt tired and Lucky gave me something and said it would make me feel better. I didn't think to much of it and took it."
Sirius groaned. "Are you that stupid?"
Bolt shrugged. "Is that a trick question?"
"You better get some rest, you had a big night."
"What happened to everyone else?"
"I believe every one of them are in big trouble for going to a party unsupervised." Sirius answered.
"Bummer. Well at least I'm not in trouble."
Sirius laughed. "Oh you are but I'm letting you rest first."
"Alright I'll take advantage of this whilst I can." Bolt closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
LINE
"Do you think he meant it? He seemed pretty angry." Blondie asked.
They were sitting in Blondie's room as they had been grounded.
"He was upset besides Bolt would never ditched us, no matter what anyone says." Zazza supplied as Blondie paced across the room.
"And then there's Lucky I like him and everything but he's a bloody dealer!" Blondie ranted.
Zazza raised his eyebrows. "You like Lucky?"
Blondie blushed crimson. "He said he ---- loved me."
Zazza gasped. "No way! He did not!"
Blondie nodded and smiled guiltily. "We had a make out session at the hospital last night."
"Was that it?" Zazza knew Lucky and knew that he was the kind of guy to go all the way with a girl quickly.
She nodded. "We were going to go further but I was worried about Bolt to much."
"Be careful okay Blondie."
She smiled and hugged Zazza. "Thanks Zazza, you are the best friend ever!"
He laughed. "I know."

Well there you go! Blondie and Lucky are an item. But what about Bolt? Say tuned and you'll find out!
