"Good evening children," Sirius said walking into the common room.
"Afternoon Professor," most of the room chanted back.
"Well, you have your first assignment from Dumbledore," Sirius said putting a package onto the table by the door, "Don't do anything I wouldn't do," and left with a smirk on his face.
"Why do I get the feeling I should be worried?" Hannah said from the pile of girls reading magazines in front of the fire.
"If it's anything from Sirius, you should be." Ron said from where he and Terry were playing chess. Hermione walked over and picked up the parcel and brought it to the table in the center of the room. She began to open it before Blaise stepped into stop her.
"I think we should get everyone in here before we open that." Blaise said softly.
"Alright, Justin would you get Harry and Malfoy, please." Hermione said. Justin got up and knocked on their door. Draco opened the door and had a quick conversation with Justin before he opened the door fully. Draco and Harry left their room to sit near their friends. Hermione opened the package and pulled out of the box alcohol, dice, a pack of playing cards, shot glasses and a note.
Pulling the note from the box Hermione read it out loud, "Dear children, your first assignment as a group is to get to know each other beyond the stereotypes of your houses. You'll be locked into the dorm for the rest of the weekend, don't worry food will be sent up to you. Now have fun and don't get into too much trouble."
"This is going to be a long weekend," Harry muttered.
"How would he like for us to do this?" Susan asked.
"It doesn't say, wait there's a Post Script on it. It says 'I'd start with a shot of the fire whiskey and a round of I never.' Oh this shouldn't be good." Hermione said setting down the note.
"What is 'I never…'?" Blaise asked.
"It's a game where we go around and start a statement with 'I never…' For who ever has done that action will take a shot in this case. I've been to a party where we had to lose an article of clothing." Hermione said.
"I don't think I would ever hear your name and the word party in the same sentence." Draco said.
"Gryffindor is the reigning house from last year to have the most hangovers after a party." Terry said out of the blue.
"What was that?" Pansy asked.
"There is an unofficial record book that has been around since the seventies that have a bunch of records that are against the school rules. Well Gryffindor has the record for the most hangovers on a single day." Terry said going red.
"You mean to tell me Hermione 'Bookwork' Granger has had a hangover." Draco yelled.
"Umm…yes," Terry said shyly.
"Well shag me gently with a chainsaw," Draco said softly.
"So are we going to play or bemoan the fact I'm not a total prude," Hermione said setting up the shot glasses for everyone.
"Everyone take a glass," Blaise said taking one for himself and raising it, "To school unity and our last two years." Shooting it back with the rest of the students, Hermione quickly refilled the shots.
"Well, I'll start this mess off 'I never have had a girlfriend'." Draco said. The most shocking of the group to take a shot was Hermione.
"I don't want to know." Ron said with a roll of his eyes.
"Good because it was your sister." Hermione said.
"Ok before they get into a fight, I never have had sex." Pansy said. The group just looked at her in shock. "Rumors are just talk, so don't believe it."
"What is up with the Slytherin Slut title then?" Hannah asked.
"Mother like daughter, is what they always say. To clarify my mum had the same title when she was in school." Pansy said.
"Ok, I never have done anything with out thinking it through." Padma said. The game went on a few more rounds until most of the group was hammered.
"Well this game has gotten boring." Harry said looking the freshest of the bunch.
"What do you mean?" Ron slurred slightly.
"Lets see, I know Terry doesn't own underwear, Hannah has a Bennie Baby collection at home, Hermione has clothes that don't cover her up, Padma, Blaise, and you, Ron all have a penchant for latex." Harry said.
"Ok so what do you want to play?" Pansy said leaning heavily on Ron.
"Bet your Liver," Harry said.
"I've never heard of that game." Hermione said.
"Well, the Quidditch team used to play it in the locker room after each game, while Oliver was still in school."
"So how do you play," Justin asked.
"A deck of cards and a pitcher," Harry said taking the cards off the table and shuffling them. Susan found a pitcher and placed it next to the deck.
"This game is very simple. One person starts it off by pouring any amount of alcohol into the container, this is how you bet. Then he or she calls red or black. The dealer turns over the card. If the person guesses the correct card then he or she passes the cup to the next player who must add to the container with his or her own "bet." Obviously if you guess the wrong card you must drink the contents of he container." Harry smiled.
This part of my dads' memory gets hazy at best. From what I've gathered from Aunt Pansy's pensive is that they all passed out as the first rays of sun light sneak into the common room.
"I'm never drinking again." Draco mumbled as he tried to open his eyes but couldn't for fear of the sun that was shining into the room. Draco finally opened his eyes to see fire and shut his eyes quickly. This time around he opened them slowly and the fire that was there before wasn't as intense. Draco tried to get up as his blater was pretty close to exploding as was his stomach of what he had drunk last night, unable to. He looked to find Potter curled on top of him. Not wishing to deal with the lion's this early in the day Draco pushed Harry gently to one side. He left for the bathroom and barely made it in time to empty the contents into the porcelain goddess.
Draco came out of the bathroom feeling some what better. He let his eyes travel around the room to find most of his classmates passed out on the couches or chairs or even poor Pansy on top of the table. His eyes stopped on Harry whose shirt had ridden up as Draco was in the bathroom, to show scars on his back. From what Draco could tell some of them were very deep when first made. Shaking his head, "Bad idea, Draco," Draco thought. He turned to find a large pot of coffee and twelve bottles of headache relief on the table near the door.
"There is a God." Draco mumbled and drained one of the bottles of headache relief. He poured himself a large cup of coffee.
"Oh God," Hermione moaned from her position on the floor, getting up quickly and sprinting into the bathroom. Draco grimaced as he heard her vomit. Hermione came out of the bathroom looking green around the gills.
"Severus sent up a potion and I'm guessing the house elves sent up coffee," Draco said softly. Hermione moved slowly over to the table that held the potions and coffee.
"There is a God by the name of Severus Snape," Hermione said after taking the potion. Draco snorted at the comment.
"Was that a snort I heard Mr. Malfoy?" Hermione asked with a smile and prepared a cup for herself.
"You tell anyone and your dead," Draco said with a smirk.
"I think we are having a conversation Draco," Hermione said.
"So do I, Miss Granger," Draco raised his cup to Hermione. Hermione raised her cup as well and took a sip.
"Change that, the God's name is Sirius Black." Hermione said.
"Why do you say that?" Draco asked.
"This is Sirius' blend he gets from Jamaica that has higher caffeine content then most coffees." Hermione said softly. Susan moved to the smell of the coffee and poured herself some.
"Morning, Hermione, Draco." Susan said after taking a sip.
"Morning, don't you feel sick at all?" Hermione asked.
"Umm, no, family thing off my mothers side of the family we can't get hangovers." Susan shrugged.
"You suck," Draco said with a smile.
"I'm now scared, Draco Malfoy smiling at a Hufflepuff, what has the world come too?" Susan said laughing at the indignant look on Draco's face.
"I'll have you know that after a night of drinking with someone who can hold their own against a Slytherin, you earn their respect. Besides Justin, Hannah, and you aren't as brain less as the rest of your house no offence." Draco said.
"None taken trust me the rest of the house can be pretty stupid at times, but we're all we have at times. The other houses have each other to fight with, work with, and to be challenged by. Hufflepuff doesn't have the interaction that Slytherin and Gryffindor has." Susan said.
"I never knew," Hermione said.
"How would you? You've always had to watch out for the Slytherin's." Susan said. The three students finished their coffee and got the rest of the house up. After the group had a late brunch they were sitting around just talking to each other as there was a lull in the conversations.
Draco yelled, "Harry, Truth or dare?"
"Can we gat any more childish, truth," Harry said with a smile.
"Is it true that when you kissed Cho she started to cry?"
"Yes, Susan truth or dare?" Harry said.
"Truth," Susan said.
"Is there any truth behind you and Hannah?"
"Ok the thing is we got a little tipsy at the house Christmas party and had to kiss each other under the mistletoe, last year," Susan said. The game went on until a note appeared on the table.
"What does Dumbledore want now?" Pansy asked.
"Well it says he would like for us to organize eight dances including themes, food, music, and decoration." Padma said.
"Oh this should be fun." Hannah said.
"How should we go about doing this?" Ron asked.
"I think we should split into groups of four one person from each house." Justin said.
"Good idea, how about Ron, Hannah, Mandy, and Pansy work on food." Hermione said.
"Ewww, couldn't I help with decorations?" Pansy asked.
"Ok, Blaise you'll be with food and Pansy will be decorating." Terry said.
"Pansy will be with Padma, Justin and I." Hermione said.
"The rest of you will work on music, is this ok to everyone?" Terry asked.
"One question, what are the themes going to be?" Pansy asked.
"Well at my old school we use to have a back to school dance," Hannah said.
"Ok, we'll call it the Aloha dance; we'll have the decorations be tropical and the food. I bet we could get Professor Flitwick to charm the room to feel as if we're at the beach." Hermione said.
"What would we wear to the dance?" Pansy asked.
"Swimsuits?" Padma asked.
"We'd have to ask Professor Dumbledore about that." Terry said. The group sat down and hammered out most of the details of the first dance together and picked the dates of the rest of the dances. By the time Remus and Sirius came by in the late afternoon to see how the kids were progressing, they had all fallen asleep from their rough night before.
"How much alcohol did you give them?" Remus asked Sirius.
"Enough," Sirius said looking any where but at Remus.
"Enough in your book is enough to make extinct all the rats in New York City."
"Double that." Sirius mumbled.
"What was that?"
"Double that amount."
"No sex for you tonight."
"Remmy!"
"I mean it Sirius."
"You're no fun; oh look at Harry and Draco." Sirius said pointing at the couch. Harry and Draco were curled around each other. Harry was onto with Draco's arms wrapped around his waist and their legs entwined.
"I wish I had a camera for this." Remus said.
"Just transfigure one of the empty bottles into a camera and another into film." Sirius said.
"Ok sex on tonight because you're so smart." Remus said and did what Sirius recommended. He took a couple pictures of Harry, Draco and of the other students. Hermione was sleeping in a winged back chair with her feet on the table, where Pansy was using her feet at pillows. Ron was asleep under the table with Terry and Justin who had a bottle of alcohol each clutched in a hand.
"I miss being in school," Sirius said as he and Remus were leaving.
"Me to," Remus said.
"Do you remember the time James feel asleep on top of the mantel after we had won the Quidditch cup in our fifth year?"
"Yes, you were asleep with a lampshade on your hear a bottle of butter beer in one hand and the cup in the other."
"Good times, good times. I miss him so much Remus." Sirius said.
"I do too Sirius." Remus said hugging Sirius and resting his head on Sirius' shoulder.
"He would have been thirty-eight on Tuesday." Sirius said letting the tears he hadn't shed for his friend fall.
"Let's get you up to our room, ok." Remus said. Sirius nodded and was lead slowly back up to his and Remus' room. Before they walked in Sirius stopped, looked straight into Remus' eyes and whispered, "I love you so very much."
"I love you even more." Remus said and pulled Sirius into the room. Remus and Sirius sat up all night reminiscing about their school years and the years they lost.
