Chapter 4: Lovers and Friends

"James, Remus, what the heck Peter? I am sorry," Mimi announced as she came up into their dormitory that night. All the boys looked up from their books and said, "We forgive you." Mimi breathed a sigh of relief.

"We can't let her off that easy!" Sirius cried and Mimi glowered.

"What do you want us to do her?" Remus asked.

"Hmm, make her play twister? Tickle her to death?" Sirius suggested. Remus grabbed Mimi and began tickling her like crazy and she writhed and shrieked and laughed.

"Mercy! Stop! HAHAH! Agh no!" Mimi squealed as he tickled her sides. They both ended up out of breath on his bed. Sirius found himself looking at Mimi with her black hair fanned out around her, her cheeks flushed, eyes shining, chest heaving up and down. She was really beautiful with her sparkling eyes and luscious hair, but wait this was Mimi he was thinking about. Mimi who they had known forever, who was with them on every prank, party, and who knew about every girl they had ever had sex with. She was one of the guys, but then why was he thinking about how hott she looked right now?

"Meems get out!" He cried.

"What why?" She asked surprised.

"I need to talk to the guys."

"About what?"

"Turning a girl on. Now go!" Mimi ran from the room. Remus, James, and Peter looked at Sirius curiously.

"I might regret asking this but what was that?" Remus asked.

"Alright who did it?" Sirius accused.

"And I regret it already. Who did what?"

"Who made those aliens abduct me and make me think Mimi was hott?" Sirius asked. James, Peter, and Remus burst out laughing until they saw the look on his face.

"Oh, you weren't joking?"

"NO!"

"Sirius let's be reasonable. There are no aliens."

"I thought Mimi was hott!"

"Holy Macaroni when did that happen?"

"Ooh food!"

"Dammit, Sirius stay on topic. Mimi? hott? what?"

"I don't know, she was laying their and its like I became totally whoa to her."

"Good vocabulary."

"What's a vocabulary?"

"Never mind. Sirius don't worry I am sure it was just a moment."

"It better have been." He got up to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"To find some chick to fuck. Some chick who's not Mimi!"

Mimi returned to her dormitories somewhat thrown off by being kicked out. She found Sarah, Lilly, and Arabella on the floor painting their nails.

"Hey," Mimi said sitting down next to them.

"Hey. Want to paint your nails with us?" Sarah asked and Mimi nodded grabbing a tube of purple nail polish.

"Nice choice," Arabella laughed as she glided her own blue nail polish on. Mimi looked to her left at Lily who gave her a half smile. Mimi sighed in relief, the boys weren't mad and Lily wasn't freaked. The incident could be put behind them all. Mimi suddenly got very hyper.

"We should have a party tomorrow night!" Mimi announced suddenly. Lily looked up from the gold sparkles she was putting on her nails and shook her head.

"You've been hanging out with the boys way too much. No parties."

"Wait, no I like the party idea!" Sarah said.

"Me too!"

"We could have tomorrow night, in the common room, Lily relax it'll be kept low key Gryffindors only. It'll just be some friends, food, and a couple of games.

"And spiked punch."

"Well, come on Sirius is going to be invited."

"I don't know…"

"Lily please, please, pleaaaaaaaaseeeee," the girls begged her. Finally she cracked a smile.

"Fine! But it better remain under control or you guys are dead." The girls cheered, and Sarah grabbed some parchment.

"I'll make a list of what we need," she said.

Party Necessities

Food (ask house elves, Marauders have an in with them)

Music (Spellbinded and the Warlocks records)

Boys! Boys! Boys!

Twister and other games

Sarah blew the list dry and Mimi squealed in delight.

"Hey guys," Mimi sat down next to the Marauders at lunch that day.

"Guess what?" She told them as she helped herself to some chicken.

"Snape's moving to New Zealand?" James asked hopefully.

"We're having a party!"

"Even better!" Sirius's head popped up at the mention of the word.

"Where?" Remus asked

"Gryffindor common room."

"What did Lily say?"

"She said it was okay.''

"I am liking this party already!" James said with a grin.

"I want details Mimi."

"Just Gryffindors, in the common room, food drinks games. It's a party Remus, surely

you've heard of one."

"How could I not living with you four idiots?"

"When is it?" Sirius asked.

"Tomorrow."

"Wicked."

"Alright I am going to go ask Amos if he wants to hang out on Sunday. I'll see you guys later." As Mimi pranced off Sirius faced mixed emotions, he was excited for the party but did not want Mimi spending any more time with Amos.

"I thought that date with Amos was a one time thing," He grumbled to his chicken.

"Are you still on about Mimi?" James asked.

"No!"

"She'll be alone at the party."

"Shut up." Then Lily and the girls walked up, James hand flew to his messy hair and

ruffled the back. Lily and the girls sat across from the Marauders and James grinned.

"Lily you're looking lovely as usual."

"You're looking stupid as usual."

"Lilyflower you know you want me."

"Yea, dead."

"That hurts."

"You'll bounce back."

"Go out with me?"

"Go to hell."

"Saturday at 8?"

"Is that when you're going to hell?"

"No."

"Then that day means nothing to me, gotta go!" Lily grabbed a sandwich and fled the

Great Hall.

"She just got here though!" James exclaimed.

"Well I suppose you bothered her," Remus told him.

"Always something with that girl," James to began grumbling chicken.

"Hi Amos," Mimi cooed setting down next to him.

"Hey Mimi," he said pulling her onto his lap. He gave her a lingering kiss on the lips that

she returned before speaking.

"Would you like to hang out on Sunday?"

"Of course, I have Quidditch from 11 to 1 but after that we can spend the whole day together." He kissed her again a little more passionately this time.

"Perfect," was all she said before he grabbed her up in another kiss.

"Get a room," a greasy haired Slytherin hissed as he walked by. Mimi broke apart from

Amos and looked up.

"Oh hello there Snivellus, I must say that your orange skin really compliments your

greasy hair."

"I do not have orange-" He spoke to soon, as his whole body became a nice shade of

pumpkin orange. Mimi and Amos burst out laughing.

"You filthy little bitch," Snape cursed her but he ran off. Mimi still laughing gave Amos a kiss goodbye and headed back towards the Marauders.

"Bloody brilliant!" James cried referring to her hex on Snape.

"Smashing!" Sirius said in hysterics.

"Wicked!" Remus laughed. Mimi grinned her thanks.

"Alright girls let's get down to business," Sarah said closing the door to the girls dormitory and smiling. It was the night of the party and everything was sent and ready except for the girls outfits.

"How come boys just have to put on jeans to look hott and we have to spend hours on our hair to look halfway decent?" Mimi groaned. Sarah, Arabella, and Lily rolled their eyes and laughed.

"We'll start with you, Arabella," Sarah said obviously taking control of the situation. Arabella sat nervously on the bed as the three girls surveyed her. Arabella was 5"4 with long brown hair highlighted with gold and navy blue eyes. Her straight nose and full lips were great attributes and she was really very pretty. Lily tapped her finger against her nose three times and then went into the closet. She returned with a hot pink knitted short sleeved top, and a hot pink flowered belt. Sarah hurried in after her and pulled out a pair of navy jeans that matched her eyes.

"Put these on," they directed and Arabella quickly pulled on the ensemble. The clothes fit her perfectly and looked great on her.

"Perfect!" Lily cried before she, Mimi, and Sarah began attacking her hair and applying make up. In the end Arabella looked beautiful, the girls had made her long hair fall in thick waves, outlined and mascared her navy eyes so they popped, and added a hint of sheer gloss to her lips.

"Lily you next!" Arabella said after squealing over her appearance. The girls walked circles around her before walking into the closet. They grabbed crimson corduroy pants, a black leather belt, and a white long sleeved shirt. Lily quickly put it on and the effect was amazing. The outfit was simple and somewhat conservative, like Lily, but beautiful all the same. They braided the top of her red hair and let the rest hang loose and added the teensiest bit of mascara to her eyes. Lily was so naturally beautiful she didn't need a lot of work to be stunning. Sarah was the next to be made over. As the girls contemplated what would go best with her curly dark blonde hair and brown eyes, and finally selected a dark blue skinny jeans and a simple turquoise t-shirt. They looped a turquoise and lime green belt through her jeans and gave her red lips and bronzey-pink cheeks. She too looked lovely.

"Mimi your turn!" The girls cried at last. After much debate a final out fit was decided. They gave her dark blue jeans, a black ribbon belt, and a red t-shirt that displayed an inch of flat stomach. They straightened her black hair and slipped a black satin headband into it. They blackened her lashes and surrounded them with black liner, they gave her a bit of red lipstick and when the girls looked at her they caught their breath. Mimi was always small and didn't care much for looks (probably from hanging out with guys so much). Sure, she was naturally pretty and cute but to see her done up made her look breathtaking and sexy.

"I think we did good girls," they all grinned at themselves while looking in the mirror.

"Well let's go party!" Mimi squealed and the girls cheered running downstairs.

"Having fun?" Mimi asked coming up beside Remus who was standing next to the (spiked) punch bowl. She had been dancing for an hour and needed a drink.

"I am half way to totally wasted," he said with a sloppy grin. Mimi took that as a yes.

"And that girl is looking smokin'!" He exclaimed pointing to a girl in the corner. Mimi looked closer.

"Remus that's Sarah!" Mimi said with a giggle.

"Who cares? She's hott! Later, Mimi." He quickly walked over to Sarah who was just as smashed and before long they started grinding on the dance floor. Mimi surveyed the party with a smile. It was going great, even Lily had been able to relax and was having a great time. As Mimi looked around she noticed Lily and James were dancing and Mimi began to wonder just how much Sirius had spiked the punch.

"Wow, a little firewhiskey and Lily forgets everything!" Sirius said coming up from behind her. Mimi turned around and grinned up at him.

"I was just thinking that!"

"Meems, you look really great tonight," Sirius said suddenly, drinking her in.

"Thanks, you don't look so bad yourself," she said with a flirty smile.

"Do I ever look bad?"

"Haha." Sirius was coming closer to Mimi and she wasn't backing away. She could smell the firewhiskey on his breath, and he could smell it on hers. He slowly lowered his lips to hers and Mimi leaned into the kiss. Sirius licked her lips asking for entrance and Mimi let him in. He explored her mouth with his tongue and they began fighting for dominance. Mimi let out a moan and pulled herself tighter against Sirius. He broke off and looked down at her.

"Want to go upstairs?" He asked. Mimi nodded, it didn't cross her mind that they were both drunk and this was how messes were made. Sirius took her hand and led her up to his dormitory. Mimi settled herself on his bed and Sirius came next to her. They resumed their ma-ck session, as Sirius pulled off her shirt and she took off his two. Before long all their clothes ended in a heap on the floor…
