Chapter 12: Girls' Night Out

"How'd you get us in?" Selena asked.

"Disillusionment Charm."

"Really? It's that easy?"

"It's nto a wizard club, Selena. It's muggle."Alina had had to change the location for their girls' night out since she couldn't get Draco to help.

"Oh right." Selena smiled. "Ooh- one o'clock."

"Too short. But perfect for you." Selenda nudged her sister playfully.

"You sure about this Alina? I mean, what about Draco?"

"We're nothing, Sleena. Plus I'm finally in the mood to flirt right now so back off."

"Jeez- PMSing much?" Alina ignored her- she wasn't menstruating, just sick of being upset and tired. She felt someone staring at her and looked to see who it was. Selena gave up and desertd her sister. It was a light brown-haired guy with brown eyes- very cute. She flashed him a smile and looked away. A few moments later she felt a hand on her waist and was about to hit the person who belonged to that hand until she saw the guy who had been staring at her earlier.

"Hello."

"Hi," her voice wavered slightly.

"Name's Oliver Wood. Yours?"

"Um..." she forgot her name. "Alina Thomas."

"Pleasure to meet you, Alina."

"The pleasure's all mine, Oliver." she could feel her face turning red.Thank god the lighting was horrible.

"MInd if I have a dance with you?"

"Not at all." she took a sip of her water, and smiling a bit too brightly held out her hand for him to take and he guided her to the dance floor. Quickly they found a unified rhythm and danced that way, like one. Something was nagging her, but she simply forgot about it. For one second she thought about her night out with Draco but the thought immediately was put away. After a few songs they took a break to get more drinks. She ordered water .

"Still underage, I'm guessing." She blushed and nodded.

"You don't look it, that's for sure." he said, looking her over. Normally she might've slapped anyone checking her out but at the present moment she wasn't her normal self.

"And how old are you?" she asked, curious.

"Twenty-two, to be exact. Today- well, yesterday now, was my birthday."

"Really? Wow- happy belated birthday then." She smiled widely. "Great. I think someone's spiked my drink." she giggled.

"Merlin-" Oliver said, seeing her wobble a bit. "Hold on." Discreetly he purified the water with his wand.

"You're a wizard?" she asked, half drunk.

"Yes. You are too, I saw you and your sister coming in. Nicely done disillusionment charm."

"Thanks- hiccup- it's nothing."

"They really did spike your drink- how much did you- " he saw two empty glasses of what should've been water on the table. Enough to knock out someone who had trouble holding their liquor. "Brilliant." he said sarcastically. "All right- where's your sister?"

"Selena? She's dancing-" she closed her eyes and rested her head on his chest as he helped her up. He scanned the room looking for the girl she had seen with Alina earlier. Upon finding her, he went up and introduced himself.

"Oliver Wood." he held out his hand and she took it.

"Selena Thomas."

"Your sister Alina's quite drunk."

"You're kidding. My Alina?"

"Not kidding. See for yourself-" he took Alina's arm and guided her to them.

"Oh. My. God. How-"

"Someone spiked the water."

"But she normallly checks it." Selena watched sister slouch on the nearest counter.

"Not this time."

"Leave it to Alina to get drunk for the first time on our girls' night out."

"This is her first time drunk?"

"Basically."

"That sucks. She's going to feel like bloody hell in the morning."

"She's taken care of me before during hangovers, it's about time that I return the favor. Anyways, how did you meet or find my sister?"

"Oh well- we danced and talked a bit, I started to realize she was starting to act strange. I'm kind of slow on the uptake, you could say." He smiled. 'Wow- that was kind of cute.' Selena thought.

"I'm just glad you were with her- do you mind helping me and her get back to Hogwarts?"

"Hogwarts? You're both that young?" Selena blushed, feeling immature and naive.

"Uh.. yeah.."

"I thought you might've been the older one, since Alina told me you were underage... I really couldn't tell with either of you." he smiled once more and Selena swooned inside. "I'll help you as far as Hogsmeade. You're going to have problems gettign her to cooperate though." he looked Alina over in her disheveled state.

"I'll find a way, don't worry." They left, both apparating back with Alina.

"Thanks again- for taking care of her." Selena said to Oliver.

"Wish I could do more, really."

"Well.." Selena thought momentarily. "Perhaps a broom? Or something to get back ith her while she's unconscious? My broom's locked up in the dressing room for the team."

"You play Quidditch?"

"Yes, I'm a chaser."

"I used to be keeper and captain for the Gryffindor team there."

"Again, Wow." she smiled, dazzled by him.

"Right- well- I think I could conjure it up in a moment." Selena snapped back into reality.

"Thanks. Maybe we'll see each other soon?"

"Sure- just send me a letter of when your next Hogsmeade outing is.. or of when your next 'girls' night out' is."

"Don't think we'll be having much of those for a while." He laughed, and there was an awkward moemnt.

"Well I better get going- don't worry about the broom, I have others." She nodded, and waved to him as she and Alina took off, Alina too passed out to notice that they weren't on solid ground anymore.

He knocked on the door. It was late, he knew, but he felt he needed to talk to her. He knocked again. No response. Shoudn't her sister be there at least? Wait, no, they were going out. "Damn". He rested his back against the door connecting the Head Dorms with the sisters' room. Looking out the window he watched the full moon and the clouds constantly moving about it. He suddenly saw a blob appear out of nowhere. It grew bigger and bigger until he could see that it was someone riding a broom, holding someone else. They came to the balcony of Alina's room. He could hear bustling again, and knocked again.

"Alina?"

"Um- she can't really talk right now."

"Is she alright?"

"Well... she will be. Just-" before she could finish he heard a loud moan and then a thud.

"Alohomora!" he came in slowly and opened the door to see Selena struggling to get a very drunk Alina off the floor.

"What the hell happened?"

"What do you think "

"Damnit I knew I should've gone with her."

"So why didn't you?" he ignored her and picked Alina slowly off the floor and set her gently on her bed. Selena conjured a bucket and water. He sat down beside her and watched, slightly disgusted, as she puked into the pail, and lightly rubbed her back, pulling her hair out of her face. Selena wiped her mouth for her and he fed her water. Soon she was unconscious again, drifting away into lala land. He remained seated okn he bed, just staring at her. She really was pitiful, as much as he hated saying it. He brushed his fingers lightly across her cheek, not quite realizing Selena was still there. Slowly getting up he covered her with her blankets and hesitantly kissed her forehead. He was leaving the room when Selena let out a "thanks". He merely nodded his head and left. She looked at her sister again. It seemed like no one was acting like how they were supposed to.
