Chapter 8: Just drunk?

Friday night took a very long time to arrive for 3 excited girls. Ellen didn't have a clue why they were so ecstatic, or why they were smirking at her. When they finally told her that they were going to have a party in the dorm, she became excited, unbeknown exactly what she was getting excited about. Lily also seemed to not notice the smirks cast her way by Anna and Alice, which was a good thing.

The boys didn't have a clue why the girls were so excited, seeing as none of them wanted to tell them. After all, they couldn't have the boys listening in to such an important conversation, and if they knew what was going on, the most certainly would.

At dinner, Lily, Anna and Ellen sent Alice up to get everything ready. If the boys had known the something was alcohol and truth serum, they would have most likely figured out that something big was about to happen, and it would be worth listening in on. This was why the girls were very careful.

Up in the dorm, Alice was pulling bottles of fire whisky out of the large crate. She grabbed some shot glasses and put them on one of the trunks along with the bottles. She pulled out a normal muggle pen which Lily had given her, and wrote there names on each bottle. They had agreed to do this so that they wouldn't take a sip of Ellen's by mistake; or Lily's for that matter.

After doing this, Alice grabbed the bottles marked 'Lily' and 'Ellen' and unscrewed the tops. Then she grabbed the truth serum out of her robe pocket and unscrewed the lid. Alice took a swig out of each bottle of whiskey to make way for the other liquid, poured a generous amount into Ellen's and then screwed the lid back on, swirled the liquid around and put it back on the trunk. The serum blended into the fire whiskey, until you couldn't tell it was there.

Then Alice grabbed Lily's bottle. It was then she realised something.

'Lily doesn't like to get completely drunk. She won't drink as much as Ellen! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to put more in! What's the harm? It will only make her tell the truth more.' Alice said to herself.

When she went to pick up the bottle of Veritaserum, she accidently knocked it over. Some of the liquid seeped out onto Aria's pillow, which was laying on the ground. Alice grabbed the bottle immediately, relieved to find not much had been lost. She tossed Aria's pillow onto her bed, and poured the rest of the bottle into Lily's fire whiskey. Doing the same as she did to Ellen's, she put it back on the trunk. They wouldn't be the wiser.

Her job finished, Alice went to get into her pyjamas.

When the girls came up, they found the bottles set out.

'Wow a whole bottle each? That's what I like to see!' Ellen exclaimed. Lily smiled. Ellen's bottle didn't look any different to what it should. It was perfect.

Once Lily, Anna and Ellen had gotten into their pyjamas, They all sat down around the trunk. Ellen grabbed her bottle and stroked it lovingly.

'Ah alcohol, my one true friend!' She said sweetly.

'Hey!' Lily exclaimed in mock outrage. 'And what are we? Your laundry?'

'Why yes, yes you are.' Ellen said. Her friends glared at her, especially Lily. Ellen pinched her cheek lovingly. 'I'm just messing with you!'

'Oh yeah, sure you are! Were gonna get you for that!' Alice exclaimed with a grin.

'Not if I get you first! Now are we going to play, or not?' Ellen said. The others nodded.

'I'm going first!' Anna elected. 'Ok! Ellen!'

'Dare!' Ellen cried boldly.

'Alright! I dare you to chug down that bottle of fire whiskey as fast as you can!'

'Not unless someone else does it with me!'

'Fine! Lily can!' Anna said, smirking.

Lily looked cautious.

'Aw come on, Lily! You never get drunk!' Ellen exclaimed, opening her bottle.

'I dunno…' Lily said cautiously.

'We won't let you do anything we wouldn't do!' Alice coaxed.

'What's the worst that could happen?' Anna asked.

Lily could think of many things that could end up happening if she wasn't sober.

'Come on, Lils. It'll be great fun!' Ellen said.

Finally, Lily decided to give in. It was far better than arguing all night.

'Alright.' She said, grabbing her bottle.

'Ok Ellen, you go first. One, two, three!' Anna cried.

Ellen started to drink straight out of the bottle.

'Um, there was a reason why we had shot glasses, Ellen.' Alice laughed.

'Yeah-' Ellen said as she breathed for a moment. 'Party hats!'

Ellen finished off her bottle in a matter of seconds- 56 seconds to be exact. She was very tipsy by the end of it, and Lily, Anna and Alice knew that there plan would succeed.

'Do I still have to do it?' Lily asked, attempting to get out of it.

'Yes!' cried Anna and Alice. Ellen attempted to join in, but it came out more like 'yeeeeeeeessssss!'

Lily sighed ad poured some of the whiskey into a shot glass. She took the first shot of it, and stopped.

'This tastes strange!' She exclaimed.

'I think you just haven't drunk for so long, that you've forgotten the taste!' Anna said, an eyebrow raised.

'The girl can't hold her drink! Girl, I always knew that you couldn't drink like I can.' Ellen said in a very slurred tone.

Lily got angry at this.

'I can so drink like you! Just watch me!'

One minute and 49 seconds later, Lily was in a fit of giggles, with an empty bottle of fire whiskey next to her.

'I've always hated monkies!' Lily exclaimed quite randomly. 'You know you remind me of a monkey when your all fuzzy like that!' She said, attempting to point at Alice, but instead pointing at the window.

'Oh oh.' Alice said. Anna looked at her.

'What's the 'oh oh' for?' She asked.

'I just remembered, I put more truth serum in Lily's because I thought she wouldn't drink the whole bottle!' ALice exclaimed, whacking her head in annoyance.

'Oh well. It will just mean that she'll be extra un-sober. Lets just hope she doesn't do anything stupid!' Anna said, watching Lily and Ellen attempt to sing Baa Baa Black Sheep. So far it wasn't going so well.

Alice nodded.

'Well we should probably try and get it out of them now.' Alice said.

'Ok Lily, truth!' Anna said.

'Hey!' Ellen cried in a slurred voice. 'It's my go!'

'And besides, I gets to choose the choosing of the thingy.' Lily managed to say.

'Alright then, what do you pick, Lily?' Anna asked, ignoring Ellen who was counting her fingers.

'Umm, truth!' Lily cried.

Alice rolled her eyes.

'Honestly.' She said.

'Alright then, Do you like James Potter?' Anna asked cautiously.

Lily was silent for a moment.

'Yes,' She said simply. 'Boy if he was here right now, I would shag him good.'

Anna and Alice burst out laughing. They knew half of it was the alcohol, but to hear something like that coming from her mouth was the funniest thing they had heard in a long while.

'Why don't you tell him then?' Alice asked, after catching her breath.

'Because, well something about some kind of friendship…I can't really remember! You know how it is, forget all the important things like that, and then you don't even know if there important. What were we talking about?'

'James Potter.' Anna stated.

'Ah yes. He's so hot! I've always thought he was hot, really I have. But you know, you can't go out with someone who only likes themselves. Cause then who's going to like you?' Lily asked herself, as if it was a deep and meaningful question.

'So why do you like him now?' Alice pressed.

'Because he's not a cocky bastard anymore, that's why. Stop asking me questions, monkey!'

'You guys realise that you just asked her…8 questions?' Ellen said, holding up all her fingers.

'We didn't…we asked her three.' Anna said, about to burst out again.

'Yeah I know, I was counting my fingers.' Ellen said, grinning lopsidedly.

'But you have 10 fingers.' Alice said.

'Do I?' Ellen asked, as if it was a rhetorical question.

'Alright Ellen, your turn! Do you like Sirius Black?' Anna asked.

'Yessiemundo! I sure do! He's a hot piece of specimen. Boy If only he was here, I would have some fun with him.'

'Not If I had fun with him first!' Lily said. Ellen glared at her.

'But you like James, Lily.' Anna said, laughing.

'Aww but there both so hot! Why can't I have them both?' Lily whined.

'Because Sirius is mine!' Ellen cried, outraged.

'Don't worry, good buddie. I would shag James better, cause he's hotterer!' Lily said in a reassuring tone. Ellen poked her tongue out in a childish way.

'No he's not! Sirius is sooo much hotterer!' Ellen argued.

'Is not!'

'Is so!'

'Is not!'

'Is so!'

'Is not!'

'I bet your just jealous cause I have had the hottest guy in school after me forever, and you've had to settle for second best! I've always been suspicious of you!' Lily said.

'Heeeelo! Your guy isn't the one with a fan club! And face it! Your guy is just a less hotterer version of my guy!' Ellen said.

'Guys settle down!' Alice cried, trying to break up the argument. It was confusing for Anna and Alice, because they weren't sure whether it was the truth serum or the alcohol talking.

'No! I wont settle down for you! Miss. Sneak-out-and-snog-Frank-Longbottom!' Lily cried.

Alice went bright red.

'How long have you known?' She asked.

'Since you came back late one night, which means foreverer!" Lily remarked. Alice looked pale and Anna looked at her with one eyebrow raised.

'Longbottom, hey?' She enquired. 'The truth comes out!'

Alice looked mad.

'She's gonna get it for that.' She mumbled to herself.

Anna was grinning.

'This is fun!' She exclaimed.

Alice mumbled and then smirked.

'Okay Lily, I have a dare for you!'

'I'll take it, monkey! I don't care how much it costs!' Lily cried out.

Alice raised an eyebrow at her very drunk friend.

'Ok, well you dare is: that you must go downstairs, and give James a lap dance, since you like him so much!'

Lily got shakily to her feet, almost falling over several times. She gave a salute.

'It shall be done.' Lily said walking over to the window instead of the door, and trying to find the handle.

'Where's the fucking handle on this thing?' The drunk Lily asked in a frustrated voice.

'Well that's the window; you'll be looking for the door, if you don't want to drop a couple of thousand feet.' Anna said between laughs.

Lily grinned and turned, walking clumsily over to the actual door, opening the handle and walking out.

Anna looked at Alice.

'I think we should take a photo!' She said, grinning.

Downstairs, the boys had been sitting for the past couple of hours, wondering what the girls were up to. They were the only ones left in the common room, but liked it that way, for the peace and quiet.

James was about to fall asleep, and had his eyes closed, when he felt someone sit down on him. He opened his eyes to find Lily staring down at him, wearing very short white shorts and a low cut pyjama top. Her auburn hair was out and in wild curls. She was looking down at him with lust in her eyes. He gulped.

His friends were looking at her, speechless. Sirius had his mouth open wide enough to fit a sizable piece of cake in. Remus was looking mildly amused, and Peter was looking disgusted.

Lily then went to straddle him with her legs around his waist, so she was facing him. She put her arms around his neck. James looked up at her again, confused. Lily was licking her lips suggestively. He gulped again.

From up near the top of the staircase came a flash, but James didn't look up. Then Lily started to grind up against him, very slowly, tossing her head as she did so. She started to moan, and James was completely and utterly shocked.

'You know what James? I really like you.' She whispered in his ear seductively.

This seemed a lot like a dream he once had… but it wasn't a dream! He could feel her weight on him, he could hear her moans, he could sense her body heat and he could…smell the whiskey in her breath? James stopped.

'Lily, have you been drinking?' He asked. Lily grinned at him.

'Just a little, well a whole bottle, sexy! What's it to you?' She asked, stopping the grinding motion, but still straddling him. James sighed.

'What have you and your friends been up to tonight?' He asked.

'Well we wanted to get Ellen to admit that she liked Siri-poo, so we decided to play truth or dare, except we put Truth Serum in her bottle so that she would tell the truth, and now me and Ellen are the only ones having fun, and Monkey and Anna are all…not fun!' Lily said in a bubbly voice.

'What did she say?' Sirius asked eagerly.

'She said yessiemundooo! But you're not supposed to know, hot stuff!' Lily said, putting a finger to her lips.

Sirius looked absolutely shocked.

'It must have been the alcohol.' He said.

'No, mate. She had to tell the truth.' Remus pointed out.

Sirius almost fainted, but sat there motionless, speechless and with eyes as big as saucers.

Lily lifted her hand and cupped James' cheek.

'Don't worry, I'll always give you a better shag then him, alright?' She said, just before passing out on his chest.

James looked down at her and sighed, whereas Sirius still sat much as before, and Remus still looked amused. Peter looked beyond disgusted.

'Well, I better take her back up to her dorm.' James said, picking up Lily's sleeping form and carrying her to the stairs.

'Mooney, could you freeze the stairs for me?' James asked, since he couldn't reach his wand. Remus nodded and raised his wand, and though you couldn't tell, the stairs froze.

James walked up them without them turning into a slide and opened the dorm door, only to find Ellen passed out on the floor, Anna and Alice looking sheepish, and a trunk with shot glasses and bottles of fire whiskey on its top. He raised an eyebrow and tried not to ask questions.

He took Lily over to her bed, and placed her under the sheets, pulling them up over her sleeping form.

James turned to the girls who were still sober and smiled.

'Sounds like you had a fun night.' He stated.

The two girls nodded.

'Find out anything else interesting besides the fact that Ellen likes Sirius?'

The two girls looked shocked.

'Does he know?' Alice asked, worried.

'Oh yeah. I don't think he will ever recover from shock either.' James said, amused.

'Oh shit, Ellen is gonna kill us.' Anna said, going white.

'You guys should be more careful with that truth serum, it can be very dangerous.' James remarked as he left the room.

As James walked down the stairs, he stopped, remembering something. Lily had just answered every question they had asked, truthfully. And she had also said that…she liked him!

James was shocked by this news, but then remembered that Lily would never like him, and shook his head.

'No, Lily can't have been telling the truth, she was just drunk.' He said to himself sadly.

He didn't know how wrong he was.
