Chapter 9: Home for the Holidays Part 2
Mimi, Sirius, James, Remus, Lily, Sarah, and Arabella stood in the living room to see Mimi's parents off. The girls were thanking them profusely for their hospitality and the boys were hugging them goodbye making Mrs. McMahon promise to send cookies. She kissed each boy on the forehead before calling Mimi into the kitchen.
"Miranda I have to tell you something," Mrs. McMahon said closing the door and pressing her knuckles into the countertop.
"What is it Mum?" Mimi asked worried by the tone of her mother's voice.
"Well first, just remember your father and I love you very much, so very much," Mrs. McMahon said her voice shaking.
"Mum, what's going on?" Mimi demanded very worried.
"I know I told you we'd be off to Scotland for a vacation, but that's not true. Your father and I are going off on secret business for the Order of Phoenix, the secret organization for people who want to fight Voldemort and his followers. I couldn't tell you that in the letter in fear of the owl getting intercepted, but Miranda please do not worry. Please do not worry about your father and I, because we love you so so much and we just want you to be happy and free," Mrs. McMahon broke down tears just as Mimi did.
"Oh, Mum!" She wailed and ran into her mothers arms.
"Miranda I love you, I always have and always will. Be happy, my child, love Sirius, love your friends, love life. Do not dwell on the past and look towards the future. And remember Miranda, you will always be in my heart," Mrs. McMahon whispered stroking her hair and kissing her head.
"I love you too Mum," Mimi said into her mother's chest. Mrs. McMahon stepped back and held her daughter at arms length drinking in her every detail. At long last she looked into her eyes. Miranda felt hollow under her gaze, feeling as though this was the last time her mother would ever see her.
"I'll miss you," Mimi said and her mother smiled.
"I'll miss you too," she brushed off her cheeks and Mimi did the same as they walked out of the kitchen. Mimi embraced her father, savoring the feel of his strong arms around her lifting her up.
"I love you Mimi," he said kissing her.
"I love you Dad," She whispered and stepped back as he and her mother stepped into the fire place. They threw down the Floo powder and in a flash they were gone. Mimi looked around at all her friends.
"I'll be right back," she said softly and ran upstairs into her room. She lay down on her bed and buried her head into her pillow. She was scared, her parents were off fighting the most vicious and dangerous wizard out there with hundreds of ruthless followers. She didn't know when or if she'd ever see them again.
"Meems? You alright?" Sirius's deep voice came through her doorway and he walked over and sat down next to her.
"What is it, Meems? They'll be back it's just a vacation," He said smoothing down her hair.
"That's just it, Sirius. It's not a vacation, they're- they're going of to fight V-Voldemort," she said willing herself not to cry as her voice shook. Sirius face was rearranged into a look of fear and sympathy.
"Oh Meems," he layed down next to her and wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm scared, what if something happens to them?" Mimi asked cuddling close and burying her face in his sweater.
"I don't know Meems I don't know," Sirius said softly. He too was scared, he loved Mimi's parents as if they were his own and the thought that they were in such danger made him worry not only for their safety, but for Mimi's mental health. Sirius and Mimi stayed like that until they both drifted off to sleep.
-----
Mimi woke up the next morning Sirius beside her and decided she wasn't going to worry for now. Her mother had told her not to worry, to love Sirius, her friends, and life. For now, she was going to grant her mother's departing wish. She gently shook Sirius awake and he reluctantly opened his eyes.
"Morning Meems," he said groggily.
"Sirius, let's not worry for now. She told me not to worry, so can we please have some fun?" She asked and Sirius knew exactly what she was talking about. He looked into her eyes and saw her sheer determination and nodded.
"Of course," he said pulling her down into a kiss. They were getting pretty comfortable when they heard a whistle from the doorway and looked up to their friends standing there.
"So, have a busy night?" James asked with a wink. Mimi threw a pillow at him and stuck out her tongue before bouncing off the bed.
"Let's have fun today guys," she said.
"What would you like to do?" Arabella asked curiously.
"Well, can we go out clubbing tonight? You know get drunk, dance, get naked?" She asked and James, Sirius, and Remus laughed.
"Done babe," they said.
"What would you like to do until then?" Lily asked her.
"Uhm, I don't know. Anyone have any suggestions?" She asked and the boys looked at each other.
"TWISTER BABY," they said simultaneously and the girls exchanged looks of fear.
------
The day had flown by and much to the girls surprise Twister had been very entertaining, especially when it was Remus and Arabella in the 'Twister Grand Final', as Sirius dubbed it. It ended with a triumphant victory and free lunch for Arabella. The girls were now in Mimi's bedroom getting ready for their wild night. Sarah was in a black tight Bermuda pants with a black halter top. She had straightened her curly dark blonde hair so it fell in a sheet down her back. She wore black sling back stilettos and had smoked her eyes. Arabella had pulled on a navy tube dress that hugged her fit body and had an undeniably sexy look to it. She wore brown round toed pumps and tied half her hair up left the other half down, so it fell in thick voluptuous waves around her shoulders. Lily had on a denim mini and a vivid green spaghetti strap top that matched her eyes perfectly. She wore a patent leather belt with matching pumps had let her hair loose with smoky eyes. The girls all looked hott and striking but they were nothing compared to Mimi. She was decked out in a black lace baby doll shaped dress that fell to her upper-mid thighs. She had a metallic silver round toe pumps and had piled her long hair on top her head in a messy, but very sexy bun before sliding a metallic silver head band in front of it. After fastening on her necklace and charm bracelet, with one last glance in the mirror the girls smiled and hurried downstairs to the girls.
"Merlin's Beard I think I've died and gone to heaven," Sirius said when he saw Mimi.
"I am right there with you Padfoot," James breathed looking at Lily. The boys slipped their arms around the girl's waists and headed off for the club.
"Vodka, straight up no ice please," Mimi said walking over to the bar and flashing her fake I.D. The bartender obliged and Sirius sidled in next to her.
"Starting early Meems?" He asked placing a kiss on her neck.
"I told you I wanted to have fun," She whispered back.
"Well, in that case I'll get one too," he laughed and together they downed their drinks.
"Let's dance!" Mimi cried raising her arms above her head and pulling Sirius out onto the dance floor. Lily and James were already out there (Lily got drunk quick) along with Remus who was dancing with both Sarah and Arabella. Mimi and Sirius began dancing to the loud vibrant music, Mimi grinding up against Sirius who was breathing heavily. Mimi spun, shook, and grinded to the loud music letting herself forget about all that was going on. Letting herself forget about her parents going off to fight the most evil wizard there was. It felt good to be so free and crazy. Sirius placed his strong hands over her hip bones and pulled her towards him. Mimi danced up against him her hands high above her head. After about an hour of all out dancing Mimi needed another drink.
"Let's go get some more to drink," She whispered seductively in Sirius's ear and they walked off the dance floor. They ordered their drinks and looked around.
"I'll be damned," Sirius whistled looking off to the left. Mimi turned her head and to her surprise she saw James and Lily sharing a passionate kiss.
"I'll drink to that," Mimi said raising her glass.
"Me too," Sirius agreed and they downed their shots. After 3 more of those shots they were both completely wasted. Mimi was sitting on a stool facing Sirius who was standing in front of her.
"You are so gorgeous, Meems," Sirius whispered leaning in between her legs.
"You are so fucking sexy, Sirius," Mimi said wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Tonight is going to be great," Sirius said playfully in her ear. Mimi chuckled against his neck.
"It will," She said and he pulled her into a kiss that lasted a long time.
-----
After the group had been danced out they began to go back home to drunk to think straight. Lily and James were very close and comfortable, Remus had an arm around both Sarah and Arabella, and Mimi and Sirius would stop every few feet to make out.
They all flopped into the house, Remus, Sarah, and Arabella just collapsed onto the couch where Remus took turns kissing the two girls. Meanwhile, James, Sirius, Lily, and Mimi went upstairs to the bedrooms. Mimi began kissing Sirius and he picked her up so her legs circled his wastes. Barely, breaking the kiss Sirius pulled off her dress and Mimi unbuttoned his shirt. They continued wildly kissing, hitting things in their drunken plight. Sirius unfastened Mimi's bra, and before long they were both naked. Sirius layed Mimi down on her bed and they finished the wild night Mimi had planned.
"Ugh, what idiot came up with the mother fucking idea to get drunk last night?" Arabella groaned the next morning. Everyone was splayed across the living room floor in various stages of undress.
"Mimi," James said barely lifting his head.
"Let's get her," Remus and Sirius suggested but couldn't move.
"Later," James added.
"Alright who did it?" Sarah said suddenly.
"Who did what?" Remus asked, somewhat nervous as he fuzzily remembered making out with Sarah and Arabella the night before.
"Who let the hippogriff stomp on my head last night?" She said and everyone (especially Remus) let out a light laugh.
"Can everyone just please stop screaming?" Lily asked rolling over and burying her head under James's arm.
"Nobody's screaming Lil," James said.
"Oh," Lily replied but still clamped her hands over her ears.
"I'd just like to apologize everyone," Mimi now spoke up.
"Alright good let's hear it," Arabella said.
"Apologize for the fact that the bathroom is going to smell like puke," Mimi blurted and ran towards the bathroom.
"Are little Mimi all grown up and puking from hangovers," James said wiping his eyes.
"I blame Padfoot," Remus said.
"It's to early in the morning to be blaming things on me, let's just blame it on Moony for once," Sirius decided.
"Padfoot, its 1:00 in the afternoon," Remus exclaimed.
"Alright, then blame me," He answered and James and Remus laughed. They heard Mimi throwing up in the bathroom and reluctantly got their feet.
"Let's go help our little girl," they said and walked toward the bathroom.
"You okay Meems?" Sirius asked coming up behind her. Mimi wasn't able to reply because she began vomiting again.
"That's a no," Sirius said wryly and grabbed her hair so it was out of her face. Remus wet a towel and wiped off her face and neck while James began rubbing circles in her back.
"That's a girl, its okay," James soothed while Mimi continued getting sick. Mimi was a very lightweight and did not weather hangovers well.
"My head hurts," Mimi said shakily in a short throw up break.
"I know it does Meems," Sirius said kissing her throbbing temple. Tears were welling up in Mimi's eyes from the pain of her headache and throwing up.
"Just let it out Meems," Sirius said kissing her head again and Mimi puked again. Remus wiped off her forehead with the cool cloth and she smiled up at them.
"You guys don't have to watch me get sick," she said.
"We know," was all James said as a reply and the guys waited helping their best friend through her hangover. Mimi smiled inwardly, the boys where always their when she needed them and vice versa. It was nice to be able to joke and kid around, but at the same time know they always had your back.
------
It was a few days after their wild night and everyone was packing up to go back to Hogwarts. Mimi threw a few last minute items in her trunk and looked around. She loved being home and she always grew sad when it was time to leave. Walking out of her bedroom she padded down the hall to her parents room and sat cross-legged in the middle of their big bed. She looked around and drank in the pictures of her parents and inhaled the smell of her mother's perfume and father's shaving cream.
"I thought I'd find you here," Mimi looked up and Sirius was standing in the doorway. She motioned for him to come over next to her and he did.
"I am going to miss it," She said as he sat down beside her.
"Me too," Sirius answered looking around. Mimi paused.
"Sirius? Do you think their alright?" she asked him. He looked down at her hopeful, yet scared face and brushed some hair out of her eyes.
"I hope they are Meems, I really do." Mimi sighed, he had given her the best answer he could and still it wasn't enough. After sitting in silence for ten more minutes, the couple got up and went back to join their friends. It was their last night at Mimi's house and the least they could do was enjoy that fact.
