"SURPRISE!" Everyone yelled as they walked in.
Alicia gasped and George jumped. The room had been completely transformed. Every inch of the floor was colored in neon confetti and golden drapes and streamers were hung throughout the room sparkling like stars. The beds had all been pushed against the walls and heart shaped balloons floated at the ceiling.
A table was set up against the wall filled with Every Flavour Beans, Licorice wands, Cockroach Clusters, Chocoballs and more.
"What is all this for?" Alicia asked getting over her shock.
"It's for you guys of course!" Lee said shooting of a firecracker that exploded into the shape of a heart with Alicia and George's initials inside.
Katie brought over a big platter of cookies. "Take your pick!"
Alicia looked at George and the two of them started laughing. "Is this really happening, or am I dreaming?" she mumbled through her teeth as Angelina led them over to a table filled with drinks.
"I'm going to have to say it's a dream," George replied.
With a flick of his wand, Fred filled the room with booming music,
"FRED!" Alicia said over the music as Fred dimmed the lights.
"WHAT?" He said at he began dancing around pulling Angelina to him.
Alicia laughed at the look on Angelina's face. "SOMEONE'S GOING TO HEAR US!"
"WHAT?"
"SOMEONE WILL HEAR US!"
"SOMEONE BRING BEER TO US?!"
"NO! SOMEBODY. IS GOING. TO HEAR. US," she said slowly.
"WHAT? I CANT HEAR YOU."
Alicia sighed throwing her hands up in the air. George laughed and pulled her to her feet. "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, I'M SURE HE USED A SILENCING CHARM."
He twirled her around and bent her backwards over his arm. Alicia raised her eyebrows.
"Wait," Fred said, turning the music down abruptly, his arm still wrapped around Angelina. "Before we get too carried away, there's something that we need to do," he said glancing at Alicia mischievously.
"What? What is it?" Alicia asked apprehensively.
Fred smirked. "Truth or dare."
Everyone exchanged looks and stared at Alicia with smug looks on their faces.
Alicia swore under her breath remembering what happened the last time she played that game. To say the least, she wasn't too eager to play it again.
"Oh come on! Let's play something else…will you all stop looking at me like that?"
"Well there's always Spin the Bottle…" Lee said elbowing her.
"Or even better, strip Chess…"
"And I'm sure there are many others we can think of."
"So take your pick, Alicia, what'll it be?" Fred asked.
Alicia sighed, giving in. "Fine. Truth or dare it is," she said huffily.
Angelina interrupted Fred before he could speak. "Can I go first?"
"Uh, sure."
Everyone scooted in closer so they were all sitting in a circle.
"Okay Alicia, truth or dare," Angelina asked.
Alicia need not think twice this time. "Truth."
"Under what circumstances did you see George naked?"
"What?!" said George
"WHAT!" cried Alicia,
George looked to Alicia. "You told her?!"
"I did not!"
"Well I sure as hell didn't tell anybody!"
"And I hardly saw you naked."
George paused. "But that day…you said you saw my—you said it was—"
"I only said that because you said that I was clumsy," Alicia said indignantly.
George snorted, "That's hardly a fair comeback."
"Why?"
"Well for one it isn't true."
Alicia crossed her arms. "And my being clumsy is?"
"Unless you were purposely falling over me in that stairwell, yes I'd say it is."
"You arrogant, self-absorbed little—!"
Angelina quickly interrupted, "Alicia just answer that question and move on to the next person!"
"What question?" Alicia snapped.
"I'm self-absorbed? I am?!" George said.
"Yes, I'm glad you've finally admitted it."
George glared daggers at Alicia who stared right back. In moments the two erupted into a fit of name calling and finger pointing in a fight of who could talk more loudly over the other one.
Fred grabbed a bag of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans and scooted away from Alicia and George, beckoning the others to follow him. "New game," he said, handing Lee, Angelina, Katie, and Oliver a handful each. Fred took a bean and chucked it towards to fighting couple.
"Fifty points for below the shoulders," he said as his jelly bean when soaring over their heads. "One-hundred points for a hit to the head. Two-hundred points for getting one in the mouth. . .and a seventy-five point bonus if you get them to look over here," Fred explained, matter-of-factly. "First one to a thousand wins! Or the first person to get them to stop fighting…whichever comes first."
"Right bundles of joy, aren't they?" Lee said as his jelly bean hit George in the neck. George itched his neck but did not show any other sign of acknowledgement.
Katie hesitantly picked up one of her jelly beans. Shrugging, she tossed it towards Alicia where it hit her in the head and lodged itself somewhere in her hair.
"And Katie Bell scores one-hundred points! Alicia Spinnet shows no sign of caring…folks, it looks like we may be here for a while!" Lee piped, morphing into commentating mode.
Oliver tossed a jelly bean which bounced of George's head and onto Alicia's.
"Amazing! Oliver Wood, Quidditch Captain fanatic, scores two-hundred points with a single jelly bean! Hitting two birds with one bean I'd say…"
"Good one Olly!" Fred said as one of his jelly beans narrowly missed Alicia's mouth.
Lee picked up two jelly beans, holding one in each hand. "What's this? Lee Jordan prepares for an impossible stunt unlike anything we've ever seen before! He shoots…he scores! Oh, what impeccable form he had! The crowds are hopping like hippogriffs! A day to surely be remembered in the history of—er—Bean Tossing. Oh ladies and gentleman please, round of applause for Lee Jordan for that fantastic one-hundred and fifty point score!" He cried jubilantly pumping his fist and in air.
Fred, Oliver, Katie and Angelina all turned to stare at him.
"Oh come on, that was pretty cool—fine, anyways…Fred Weasley picks out a disturbingly green shaded bean and aims at Alicia. Is he going to make it?! Ah, so close, he hits her chin, one-hundred—oh wait! She definitely, probably, could have possibly glanced over here…maybe! One-hundred and seventy-five points to Fred Weasley, it looks like our opponents are weakening."
Angelina sighed and finally picked up a jelly bean.
"Ladies and gentleman, Angelina Johnson finally gets the courage to face her fears take part in the fun—ouch!—sorry did I say fears? Silly me. Ms. Johnson has no fears…she has but smooth chocolaty skin and a physic that just makes you want to—OW! Alright, alright…. Lets just see what the new comer has to offer, shall we?" Lee scowled, rubbing his head.
Angelina looked at George and Alicia deciding who she should aim for. She threw her bean…
"Galloping gargoyles she's got George in the mouth! Two-hundred AND seventy—oh wait Alicia's spotted us also! Three-hundred and—ARRRGH!"
Alicia, realizing what had been hitting her and in the head picked up one of the beans that was piling up between her and George and chucked it a Lee. George followed closely in suit after figuring out who had tossed the jelly bean into his mouth.
"You!" Alicia cried when Fred hit her in the head with another jelly bean. She pounced on him just as he was about to throw another.
Oliver hurriedly got out of the way as Fred, Alicia, Angelina, Katie, Lee, and George went into a full out wrestling match.
Fred was struggling as Alicia was trying to hit him and tickle him wherever she could. "Alicia, ALICIA you've got the wrong—ahhh!—stop it…you've got the wrong…wrong twin!" He tried, attempting to push her away.
Alicia paused from where she was perched on his stomach, still holding tightly onto his wrists. "Nice try Fred, but seeing as you can hardly handle a little poke, I must conclude that you are not my tickling nemesis."
Meanwhile, George was cornering Lee and Katie despite Angelina's attempts to pull him back. Thinking fast, he dived towards his four-poster and pulled something out from under his pillow.
"Hey…HEY, EVERYONE, LOOK OVER HERE," he said catching everyone's attention. Alicia was clutching Fred's stomach in mid-tickle, who was breathing heavily. George had his wand in one hand and was pointing it at Lee and Katie while Angelina was trying to strangle him. Oliver was watching the odd scene apprehensively. They all looked at Lee who was holding up a large bottle of Firewhisky.
Fred, using this distraction to get out from under Alicia, turned the music down with a flick of his wand. "Where did you get that?!"
"Lee! Are you out of your mind!" Katie said, snatching the bottle out of his hands.
"Come on Katie, it's a special occasion," Fred said, looking excited.
"Fred!" Angelina scolded.
"I've had that before," Oliver said with a little glint in his eye.
"And…?" Lee asked.
"Well…it's really not a good idea, but as long as you don't have too much, it shouldn't do much harm. And you just have to do that one spell afterwards and…I mean as long as this is the only time."
"I don't want to get in trouble," Katie said, looking at the bottle apprehensively.
Lee put him arm around her, Fred doing the same. "Come on Katio, it's for George and Alicia. Nobody's getting in trouble, we promise!"
Angelina rolled her eyes. "What do you two think?" she asked looking at George and Alicia.
Alicia and George looked at each other, still a little upset over their argument. Alicia sighed and turned away. Well it would help them forget about the argument wouldn't it? "Well…it's only for tonight and it's only all of us…that's not many people. What's the worst that could happen?"
"Alright then," Fred said taking the bottle from Katie and skipping over to George and Alicia. "You two go first!"
Alicia, seeing George reach out for the bottle, quickly snatched it from George. She had the nagging feeling that this was definitely a bad idea. But there's a first time for everything isn't there?
"What's the matter…are you scared?" George teased.
Alicia smirked and unscrewed the bottle taking a long swig staring at George straight in the eyes.
Oliver winced. "Alicia, if this is your first time you shouldn't—"
"Wow," Alicia said as her eyes started to water. She sputtered a little and grabbed George's arm.
George looked at her wide-eyed. "I think I love you," he said before grabbing her and kissing her suddenly.
"Uhh…okay," Lee said awkwardly pulled the bottle out of Alicia's hand which was wrapped around George. "Who's wants next?"
"Me," Fred replied snatching the bottle from Lee. He took two small swigs and shivered as it slid down his throat. "HOHO! That was—ahh, ahh, ouch," he said shoving the bottle at Lee.
Lee took a deep breath and took a little sip.
"Oh come on, don't be a baby," George said who had since resurfaced.
Lee scowled. "Don't rush me!" He took a gulp and practically dropped the bottle. "AHH!"
"Lee!" Katie said, grabbing the bottle.
Lee coughed. "I'm fine…you go next."
"Me?" Katie asked apprehensively.
Alicia moved and sat next to her. "Yeah, it's not that bad, really," she said smiling happily.
Katie took her swig, and Angelina shortly after not wanting to be left out.
"Hey whoa, I didn't one yet," George said pulling the bottle from Alicia.
"Yeah neither have I," Oliver said taking the bottle from George and taking a long swig as if it was water.
"Ooo, you're a veteran at this aren't you Ollie?" Alicia said patting his knee.
"Oh gimme that!" George said snatching the bottle and glaring at Oliver. George took a long drink, slightly longer than Oliver's and slammed the bottle on the ground. Oliver raised his eyebrows.
Don't cough, don't cough. George was biting his lip as the Firewhisky slid down his throat burning his mouth. Alicia ran her hand up and down his thigh, relaxing him. George finally exhaled, a ring of smoke coming from his mouth.
Alicia grabbed the bottle and attempted to do the same thing and ended up coughing all over the place.
After the bottle had been around a full second time, they were all at various states of loopyness.
"You know what we should do?!" Katie squealed standing up. "Let's go streaking!"
"Omigod Katie! You are so drunk!" Alicia said who had had the most alcohol out of anyone by far. She was against the wall slumped against George who was playing with her hair.
"Whoa there," Oliver said pulling Katie down so that she was sitting next to him on Fred's bed.
"Oh Oliver, what would I do without you?"
Lee scowled at the two of them.
Alicia stood up and shakily walked over to George's bed and laying down next the where Fred was sitting. George followed her.
"This is so weird…the walls…are like, moving," Alicia said to Fred and Angelina who were laughing too hard to notice.
George sat down and leaned across her torso. "Are you okay," he asked, running his hand absently across her cheek.
Alicia giggled and pulled him forward so he was all the way on top of her. "Yeah, I'm totally fine, it's just everything's moving. But my brain is totally fine. Not like everyone else," she said referring to the rest of the room which seemed to be steadily dissolving into giggles.
George's mind was foggy but he knew Alicia was a lightweight and that was probably really bad. Or something. Why were there jelly beans in her hair?
"Hey wait a minute!" Oliver said standing up suddenly causing Katie to tip over. "What ever happened to talking about Quidditch?!"
Fred stood up and pull his hand on Oliver's shoulder. "Oh Oliver, Oliver Oliver Oliver…um, heh…wait…what were you saying?" Fred said starting to laugh hysterically again.
Alicia stood up suddenly, pushing Oliver back down and falling on top of him in the process. "Oh…" Alicia said looking at Oliver who was pinned beneath her. "Shouldn't you be George?"
Fred grabbed Alicia by the back of her pants and pulled her back up. "Now Alicia, how to you expect to become my girlfriend-in-law with behavior like that?!"
The room went silent and everyone looked at him.
"What?"
Angelina squinted her eyes. "Girlfriend-in-law?"
"Shez George's girlfriend…so when they marry, she be my girlfriend-in-law, right?" Fred replied, scratching his head.
Angelina squealing and jumped up from the floor throwing herself at Fred. "Oh, you are SO cute!"
The two of them staggered around for a moment before collapsing onto Oliver who was the most sober out of the lot of them. He quickly rolled them over to the side and scooted over, trying to fix his hair.
"You know what we should all do? Let's have a handstand contest!" Alicia said over Lee's burst of laughter.
"Alisa, you should not…do that." George said shaking his head.
"I'll beat you Alicia!" Katie slurred, running to stand next to her, almost knocking them both to the floor.
Alicia giggled. "Ready? One, three…go!"
Alicia and Katie stumbled over to the wall. Katie actually slammed right into it, but Alicia managed to put her hands on the floor and kick her legs up before George could stop her.
"HAH, I win!" Alicia boasted as her shirt fell up over her head exposing her lacy pink bra.
"Alicia!" George yelped, sobering up all of a sudden. He kneeled in front of her and tried to cover her back up but couldn't pull her shirt back down without choking her.
Alicia huffed. "George…are you groping me!" Alicia asked seriously, causing the room to fill with laughter.
George snorted. "No, I'm trying to save your life…you'll thank me tomorrow—Alicia, what…OWW!" He yelled as she kicked away from the wall falling so that her knees missed George's face by an inch.
Alicia groaned and turned around so she was face George and laid down on top of him, her shirt still up to her shoulders.
The room was spinning and she couldn't concentrate on what anyone was saying and her head was heavy on George's chest. The last thing she remembered was Angelina and Fred moving closer, and after that she drifted off.
