3 weeks later
A long drunken groan. "Gimme anothva fucking beer man!" Sirius slurred loudly.
"Are you sure you haven't had enough pal?" The bartender asked.
"What do ya fucking mean man?" Sirius replied hotly.
"Well people do tend to get violent when they have consumed too much alcohol" the bartender informed him.
"I AM NOT FUCKING VIOLENT YOU ARROGANT PRICK!" Sirius shouted, throwing his tankard at the wall.
"Right that's it! Get out my bar you fucking bum! You've been coming in here every night for the past three weeks, now get out!" the bartender exclaimed, "Billy, Joe" he shouted to the backroom, "We got a 15/22 drunken asshole out here!"
Two large men emerged from the backroom, cracking their knuckles.
Sirius looked up at them drunkenly, "Heeeeeeeeey guys, you wanna buy me a drink?" He asked, "This asshole here," he said pointing to the bartender "won't gimme another fucking beer, so you wanna be a pal here and help me out?" Sirius said giving them a big cheesy grin.
The two thugs walked towards Sirius…
"OW!"
"BLURGHHH…" Sirius retched loudly from the back alley of the pub. He was lying on the floor, vomiting profusely. His nose was bloody and he had a black eye.
When he had emptied his stomach he sighed heavily and flopped forwards into his own spew, little did he know, someone was watching … and waiting.
Later on…Sirius lifted his head and groaned, "Ow my head … wait a minute … who's there?" he asked the darkness as he heard a movement in the background.
A shadowy figure stepped out from behind a large steaming dustbin, "Hello Sirius," The mysterious figure said, "Yes, I know who you are"
"How? I mean, who the hell are you?" Sirius said confusedly.
"That is for me to know and you to never find out," the figure said.
"What d'ya mean bitch?" Sirius demanded angrily.
The figure ignored him, "Come into my office … er … we are already in my office by the way" the person said.
"This is your office?" Sirius jeered while looking around the urine stinking alleyway.
"Yes, well if you don't mind, lets get back to business please!" he said irritably.
"Uh okay" Sirius said, bemused.
"Well" the figure said rubbing his hands together, "As you probably well know, you were dumped exactly three weeks ago … um … or was it? … No it was three weeks ago, anyway, you Sirius Black were dumped by your lover Remus Lupin … and may I ask you something? Have you ever wondered whose fault that was?" the figure asked, leaning forwards a little.
"Uhhh, mine?" Sirius replied, pointing to himself.
"No, you idiot, it was Draco Malfoy's, dimwit! I thought that bit was obvious!" the figure sneered.
"Uh okay, whatever, what's your point?" Sirius asked, bored.
"Think Sirius think! If Draco Malfoy had never walked in on your intimate love affair, you would not have lost the one true love of your life, would you?" he prompted.
"Hey, wait a minute … your right! It was his fault!" Sirius realised.
"And that my friend, is where I come in" the figure said, smiling.
At school
A cluster of people were crowded around a large pink poster that read:
Senior Prom
5th November
6 till Late
Look Classy
Girls squealed in utter excitement and their boyfriends groaned.
"Oh my God I gotta figure out what I'm gonna wear!" the girls squeaked and rushed off.
Flash moved forwards and read the poster. Yes! He thought to himself, this is perfect!
"Ron, where the hell are we going?" The irritated group asked loudly from the backseat.
"You'll see" Ron told them.
The four of them were blindfolded. Ron and Flash were in the front seat, smiling broadly.
The car came to a sudden halt.
The group of people in the back lunged forward and collapsed into a heap. They all whimpered in pain.
"All right guys this is it!" Ron said happily.
"Finally! Can we take these stupid things off now? My hair is getting all messed up!" Draco declared, tugging at the blindfold over his eyes.
"No not yet!" Flash exclaimed frantically waving his hands.
"Jeez" They all huffed and folded their arms.
Flash and Ron helped all the others out of the back of the car, (Neville was lugged out of the boot) and stood them all in a line.
"All right guys you can take the blindfolds off now," Ron told them.
"No wait I wanna take Draco's blindfold off!" Flash said excitedly.
He walked up behind his lover and pressed his crotch against Draco's supple ass.
Draco shifted uncomfortably. He could feel Flash's hot breath in his ear and on his neck. Flash was obviously getting more and more excited by the second, so Draco decided to take drastic measures.
"A BEE A BEE A BEE BEE BEEE!" Draco screeched unconvincingly as his blindfold was pulled off, and he ran round in circles, flapping his arms wildly.
Everyone stared at him with their eyebrows raised.
Draco stopped screaming and stood on the spot, fiddling with his thumbs, "there was a bee" he mumbled sheepishly.
The group exchanged looks, then, suddenly, realising where they were, stared around in awe.
They were standing on a low grassy cliff top. It was spread out very widely and surrounded by tall green trees. Butterflies danced around them.
"Wow, it's beautiful!" Hermione said wetly.
Ron and Flash grinned proudly.
"It was all Flash's idea," Ron informed them, "But I just thought we could have a nice little picnic, you know, all together"
Pansy stared at him incredulously, "Since when did you go all soppy romantic like?" she asked, "You know I think you've been spending a bit too much time with gay people" she said, smiling.
Everyone but Ron laughed. Instead he turned a bright red and quickly changed the subject.
"Okay everyone, we need to get everything set up" he called to the group, "come on guys! … motor!"
Hermione, Pansy, Luna, Neville and Draco all began to unload the car while Flash pulled Ron into a corner.
"Listen," Flash said quickly, lowering his voice, "has Draco asked you about the whole Seamus thing lately?"
Ron frowned confusedly, "No, why? … I thought you told him?"
Flash looked uncomfortably at the ground, "Well … I kinda did … but … I may have left a few things out"
"What! You lied to him? Oh my God that is so not you" Ron smiled.
"It's not funny!" Flash exclaimed, irritated, "It's a really big problem!"
"Why?"
"Because I don't think he believes me anymore, because Seamus keeps following him around everywhere and dropping hints"
"Well … I spose that's not too bad" Ron tried to reason.
"Yes it is!" Flash insisted, "If he finds out that I lied to him he might … break up with me. And I don't want that. And anyway, it's not just that … I don't want him to know the truth, its just too horrible … I don't wanna hurt him" Flash added in a small voice.
"Well, yeh, I get that," Ron said, "But, I don't see how Seamus following Draco around is gonna do too much, you know?"
"But it will!" Flash continued, "Seamus knows we can't go to the police because you would get arrested for GBH. And even if we did make a statement they wouldn't believe us, I mean, have you any idea how much alcohol we drank that night? And on top off that, Draco would get seriously done if his parents' found out that he had held a party. Seamus is just trying to fuck everything up for everyone because he's a nasty little shit!" Flash finished, red in the face and breathing heavily.
"Whoa, take it easy man," Ron said, looking very taken aback, "I mean, I know you love this guy but please, take it easy"
"Your right, I'm sorry I brought it up, it's just … its really getting to me, you know?"
Flash glanced sideways and noticed Draco bounding towards them with a wide grin on his face, "Listen, we can talk about this later" he said quickly as Draco reached them.
"Hey Flash" Draco said happily, "look what I brought!" and from behind his back he pulled out his teddy, "It's Harry bear!"
The group settled down onto the checked blanket and handed out the food. They were all immersed in loud conversations.
"Don't you just love that movie Draco?" Pansy asked. She stopped and looked around, "Draco? … Draco? Hey, where'd he go?"
Flash stared around and spotted Draco in a corner, Harry bear on his lap.
"Would you care for more tea Mr Harry bear?" Draco asked politely, pouring a cup of imaginary tea into an invisible cup.
"Oh my God" Flash said embarrassingly.
"Draco, what are you five?" Ron shouted across the clearing, "Get over here!"
Draco looked startled.
"And put that stupid bear in the car!" Ron added angrily.
Draco gasped in shock and the covered the bear's tiny ears with his hands.
"Oh dear God" the group muttered together, rolling their eyes.
Draco stood up and gathered together his imaginary tea party things, taking them, with Harry bear, to the car.
"Goodnight Mr Harry bear," Draco whispered softly, stroking his teddy on the head and wrapping him tightly with a blanket, "would you like mama to sing your favourite song before sleepy time?"
Draco waited for a moment and then said, "Okay then," he took a deep breath then sang in a soft low voice:
Hush little teddy, don't be afraid,
Mama's gonna buy you a great big spade,
And if that spade don't dig too deep,
It means that spade was rather cheap,
Hush little teddy, don't get upset,
Mama's gonna buy you a giraffe pet,
And if that giraffe gets too big,
Mama's gonna do you a little jig,
Hush little teddy, don't you cry,
Mama's gonna buy you a chicken pie,
And if that pie is out of date,
The chances are, it will inflate,
Hush little teddy, don't make a fuss,
Mama's gonna buy you a mini bus,
And if that mini bus don't drive,
You're still the cutest bear ever to be alive.
"Goodnight Mr Harry bear," Draco said again, and he kissed his teddy on the head before leaving the car to join his friends.
Draco sat down on the blanket and snuggled up to his boyfriend's chest, listening to his heartbeat.
Flash smiled and stroked Draco's hair affectionately.
On the opposite side of the blanket Neville and Luna were tickling each other's noses with their own.
"Wanna go some place more private?" Luna said softly.
Neville's eyes widened, "No Japanese tourists this time though?"
Luna smiled, "No"
"Promise?" Neville asked.
"Promise" Luna breathed, moving in for a passionate kiss.
They stood up slowly, not breaking contact with their lips and moved behind a tall oak tree, out of view.
"Ahem, yes well" Ron said, "Anyone want some more cakes? Sandwiches?"
Draco reached for a watercress sandwich and began to feed it to Flash.
"Aw how sweet" Hermione smiled, tilting her head to one side as she watched the loving couple feed each other, "I wish Seamus was here" she sighed.
Ron looked suddenly uneasy.
Flash however, was too busy nibbling at his watercress sandwich with Draco to notice.
"Why didn't you bring him?" Pansy asked.
Hermione sighed again, "Oh, he said he was too busy with his schoolwork. But I mean, I haven't even seen him for about four days now"
"Aw honey," Pansy said sympathetically.
Hermione smiled.
Meanwhile, Draco had his arms wrapped around Flash's neck and was moving in towards him, their faces were very close. But Draco suddenly looked around to see Hermione and Pansy staring at the two of them with wide smiles.
"Um … would you like to go somewhere … um … else?" Draco asked Flash quietly.
"Yeh" Flash replied, "That'd be good"
Draco smiled, took Flash's hand and pulled him behind another tree.
"Aw, this is all so romantic!" Pansy said happily.
Ron grinned and pulled Pansy towards him for a soft kiss but just as their lips were almost touching a large black bird came flying out of a tall tree and did its business on Ron's shoulder.
Pansy screamed and Ron retched.
"Yeh, real romantic" Ron muttered sarcastically.
Draco pushed Flash gently against the tree and brushed his lips with his own.
"Listen," Draco said quietly, breaking contact with Flash's lips and staring down at the ground, "I'm sorry about earlier, you know with the whole 'bee' thing. It's just that, you know, I don't think I'm ready for that kind of thing yet"
Flash looked slightly embarrassed, "yeh, um, about that, I'm sorry too, I guess I just kinda … lost control, you know?"
Draco nodded, "so, do you forgive me?"
"Yeh! Of course! It was my fault anyway … I'm sorry"
Draco smiled and kissed Flash again. Much more passionately this time.
Once Ron had finally managed to cleanse himself from 'bird deposit' he sighed heavily and said,
"I need to pee, I'll be back in a minute"
But little did he know, the blanket was caught slightly in his trousers.
The moment he stood up, the entire picnic, including the jug of orange juice, was thrown over Pansy and Hermione.
They both shrieked in revulsion as the picnic dripped from their clothes and hair and they ran round the clearing their hands flailing, squealing hysterically.
"Oh come on!" Ron said in disbelief.
Flash and Draco were now sitting on the ground, wrapped in each other's arms.
"Flash?" Draco said, looking up into Flash's intense emerald eyes.
"Mmm?" Flash replied.
"I love you" Draco whispered.
Flash beamed "I love you too," he whispered back
Draco snuggled his head back to Flash's chest. He moved his hand round Flash's back and slid his hand very slightly under his shirt. Draco could feel his boyfriend's heartbeat quicken slightly.
They both sat on the ground, holding each other; silently watching the small squirrels crawl over the leaf-strewn earth.
They both sighed happily.
"OH MY GOD RON! GET THIS FUCKING CRAP OFF OF ME!" Pansy screamed, so loudly that Ron and Hermione had to cover their ears.
She was about to scream again but she stopped very suddenly.
"What … what's that noise?" She asked nervously
The three of them stopped and listened anxiously. There was a faint buzzing sound nearby. They all turned around slowly to see a cluster of bees flying towards them.
"AAARRRGGGHHH!" Pansy and Hermione screamed again as the bees chased their still food dripping clothes.
"BEE BEE BEE BEE BEEEE!" They both yelled together … Genuinely this time.
