"What are you guy's talking about, are you guy's planing my surprise birthday party,which is in two days?" Bronte asked, leaning over Sam and Remus' shoulder as they tried to hide their charm's notes from Bronte's spying eyes. Sirius spat out the butterbeer that he had been drinking. "Your birthday's in two days? I mean..of course I knew that...what kind of boyfriend would I be if I forgot." Sirius lied...he was only a good lier if it was to a professor. "Get rid of her now Sirius." Sam whispered in Sirius' ear
"Bronte darling, can you go and get me some more butterbeer from the kitchens." Sirius said, batting his eyelashes and giving her his best puppy dog eyes. "Why do you have to be so irresistible?" Bronte asked, giving him a kiss on the cheek as she got up to go get him his butterbeer, not noticing the full beaker of butterbeer in front of him.
It was one day after they had found out that it was Bronte's birthday. (For those who can't do maths, that means her birthday was the next day.) "Thank god for Hogsmede weekends." Sirius exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air for effect. "Even if there wasn't a hogsmede weekend you would still sneak out. Lily darling, how are you today." James mused, looking at Lily and her friends and bowing.
"Potter, I am not your darling, nor will I ever be!" Lily screamed.
"So...Aleisha...any advise?" James said, turning to Lily's friend.
"Stop acting so cocky, she hates it." Aleisha answered, ignoring Sirius cracking up at the word 'cocky.' "You need to stop asking her out as if you expect her to say yes and in front of everyone, you are just embarrassing her." Aleisha finished, turning around to follow Lily, who had walked into the bookstore. "And, you're an absolute idiot." she added from the door.
"Wow, mate, no wonder she hates you." Sirius said, patting him on the back. "Cause those thing she hates, are everything you are." He added, walking in to Honeydukes to get Bronte's present.
'Butterbeer' Sirius shouted from the boy's dormitory to Remus and Sam, who had just arrived with all the food and drinks from Honeydukes and the Three Broomsticks, Jordan and Lee were still in Hogsmede with Bronte, trying to distract her for as long as possible. James was off with Lily, trying to ask her out, for the fifth time that day and Georgia and Chad were in the Room Of Requirement doing god knows what.
'Check' Sam shouted from the chair by the fire, where she and Remus had dumped their load.
'Chocolate Frogs' Sirius said, ticking Butterbeers off his list.
'Check' Remus said, grabbing two for him and Sam when he thought no one was looking.
'Lemon Drops and I saw that Remus Lupin' Sirius shouted as he made another tick on the parchment.
'Check'
'Firewhisky'
'Che...firewhisky..we are fourth years and we are drinking firewhisky?'
"See, this is why I asked Sam to get it for me, Moony, cause you would just object, and any way, I had to give her six galleons worth of chocolate frogs just so she wouldn't tell you, and another two so she would get it. Man you have one stubborn chick." Sirius said from the stairs as he chucked the sixty three chocolate frogs he owed Sam from the top of the staircase.
"There's my part of the deal..do you have the firewhisky?"
"Check! And by golly it was hard to get, tough crowd in the Hogs Head to. Did you know that I saw Lucious in there, still as much of a git as he was last week."
"Wait, Sirius sent you to the Hog's Head?" Remus exclaimed.
"Yeah, why?" Sam asked, through a mouthfull of chocolate frog. Her question was forgotten though as Lee came running into the common room clutching his side and panting. "Bronte alert, Jordan and her are leaving Hogsmede now." He managed to get out before collapsing on to the couch. As Sirius ran around the room franticly, grabbing all the stuff and putting it in the compartment by the fire. (A/N they discovered it when they were looking for secret passage ways.)
It was Potions and Professor Slughorn was in happier mood than usual. He was literally bouncing off the dungeon walls as he gave them their next assignment. "Now today you will get into pairs and brew the Essence of Joy. Follow the instructions on the board and give it to me by the end of the class. Go!!" He shouted, jumping up and throwing his hands up in the air. Ten minutes into the class, Sirius and Bronte had already given up and had stared throwing fireworks into Snape and Malfoy's potions, causing the people near them to start singing happy songs and prance around the room. By the end of the class, Lily, Aleisha, Remus and Sam were the only four who had managed to make the potion successfully.
"Places people, places!" Sirius shouted through the mega phone that he had counjered up. It was the day of the surprise party and everyone was hyper from the activity. The balloons were up and, as usual, James was trying to get Lily to go out with him, again. Aleisha was shaking her head at James as he got another slap from Lily. In just three minutes Sam and Jordan would return from Hogsmede with Bronte and the party would begin. "You never were a good hider," Sirius shouted to Peter, who's legs were visible from under the table.
Just at that moment, a wolf call was heard from outside the portrait, the signal that Bronte, Sam and Jordan were coming back. As the Fat Lady swung open, Bronte jumped as everyone jumped up and shouted 'Surprise!!!.' The party was a big hit and at around 4 am, McGoniagall came in and sent everyone to bed.
"Oww...my head." Bronte groaned, clutching her forehead as she faced her first ever hangover. Sam ignored Bronte's pleads for a hangover potion, doing her charm's homework. At breakfast, the maruaderettes found out that more than half of Gryfindoor had hangovers, the only sober ones were Sam, Jordan, Remus and Lily.
"Quidditch practice, now, god I will die if I have to go out there." James moaned as he, Sirius and the rest of the Gryfindoor house team made their way towards the quidditch pitch.
(A/N I know that I said that they weren't on the quidditch team yet but it fits into the story later. TTFN and READ AND REVIEW!...please.)
