Bachelor Party

Christmas came and went. They all received great gifts. Sirius later on in the day though left for a few hours. He had to go and wish his Aunt Andromeda a happy Christmas. Not to mention see Nymphadora, she had returned from Hogwarts for the holidays. Her hair was not a brilliant shade of red with green highlights. It was festive.

He returned around six o'clock in the evening and they all went outside and had a snowball fight. Christmas was indeed always a fun time of the year. Especially for Remus who received an abundance of chocolate. He was hyper for the rest of the day, and night, and morning... It was torture of Sirius, James and Peter who that night they all transformed and ran around outside, with a still human Remus. But the full moon was approaching, he wasn't... entirely human... If you could say that.

But Christmas couldn't last forever, they had to eventually get back to their normal lives and leave the Potter's house. Everyone was looking for a new house, James thought he may have already of found one. It was a nice one story house in an all wizard community. Lily saw it as well, she liked it.

Sirius was the only one who found a place he liked enough to buy. In fact he bought it almost right away. He was there now actually "decorating" the flat for Frank's bachelor party. He and Alice would be getting married in the upcoming month, he needed a party.

People should have been arriving for the party in several minutes, he just sat on the couch. The only preparing he did was a giant keg in the middle of the room. It was chilled in ice and ready for drinking.

There was a knock at the door and Sirius glanced up. Moaning he pushed himself up off the couch and walked over to the door. He opened it and saw James standing on the other side with a smirk. "Prongs!" Sirius cried. "Welcome to the Not-So-Noble and Not-So-Ancient House of Sirius!"

"Nice digs." James said and walked in as he got a good look at the place. "Maybe I should just move in with you, eh, mate?"

"Oh no, this is my bachelor pad, how am I supposed to bring in chicks with my in-a-relationship brother always hanging around?" Sirius asked and James shrugged.

"Joking, besides, I think me and Lils found a place. It's nice, bit far from here, but nothing floo powder or a broom ride could fix." James said happily.

"Excellent, so when are you and Lily gonna tie the knot? When can I throw a bachelor party for you?" Sirius asked and he and James plopped down on the comfy leather couch.

James sighed and snuck deeper into the couch. "Why is everyone riding me about that?" He asked closing his eyes and rubbing his head. "I don't see anyone bugging Andy or Remus about this stuff. And they've even been going out longer then me and Lily."

"Oh trust me, I'll have them married soon enough."

"I thought you didn't like marriage."

Sirius shook his head. "Never said that, I've said marriage isn't for me, but it looks good on other people."

There was another knock and both of them moaned in unison. "It's bloody open!" Sirius cried out. "Like hell I'm answering the door again."

Two boys walked in the room, one with black hair and the other with lighter hair. "Hey James, Sirius." Chris said, Benjy following closely behind. They decided it was a good idea to invite Chris, they didn't want all Order members at this party, this was after all... a bachelor party. No serious talk here, only strippers and beer.

"Oi Chris! You made it!" James said getting up from the couch, Sirius stayed where he was, far too lazy to stand.

"Bought some beer too." He said and placed the twelve pack on the table. "But it looks like you guys already have that area covered." He looked down at the keg.

"Of course, why have bottles when you can have a KEG!" Sirius cried and looked over the back of the couch at them. "You can throw some of those in the ice around the keg if ya like." He said and then turned back to the TV.

"Great." Chris said as he and Benjy began ripping open the box and placing the bottles in the ice to chill. There was another knock at the door as they began doing this.

"Oh come on, we should just leave the bloody thing wide open." Sirius murmured. "Just come in!" He yelled out to the knocker.

Remus stepped in the room and looked around for a moment at Sirius's new home. "Not bad, mate, not bad at all."

"Moony!" Sirius yelled looking up to see who it was from the spot he was still at on the couch. "Glad you could make it, any word on Wormtail yet?" It seemed that Peter was just getting more and more busy as the time went on. He continued to say it was family business. He had said his father passed it on to him, but they had their doubts.

"I dunno, might be here." Remus said and walked in the room, "never know with him anymore."

"How many more are we waiting on?" Benjy asked. "Before Frank comes of course."

"Um, well, I have no clue, just wait and see I suppose. I don't think Caradoc is coming, Slytherin prick." Sirius grumbled and looked at his watch. "Gideon and Fabian should be coming any minute now. I suppose that's all we're waiting for now."

"Good thing we're here then," Gideon said as he walked through the open door of Sirius's flat. "Nice place, Sirius, good place to bring muggle chicks too. Not too much magical activity."

"For now." Fabian said with a grin.

"That everybody?" James asked. "Aside from Peter that is, I dunno maybe he'll come later, you know he's never on time anymore."

"Name a time when he was." Remus said rolling his eyes.

Sirius barked out a laugh. "True Moony, very true, oi! Jamie! Throw me a bottle!" he cried and James took one of the chilling bottles out of the ice.

"Doubt it cold." Chris said raising an eyebrow.

"Chris," Sirius began and took his wand out. "I know you're a muggle born and I respect that, but please you should have been in the magic world long enough to know, we have a wand." He said with a laugh and chilled his drink with a tap of the wooden stick.

Chris smiled and rubbed the back of his neck. "Oh right... I guess I just forget sometimes..."

"You did go to wizarding school right?" James asked jokingly as he walked over to the keg and got himself a bottle of chilled beer.

"Shut up, you know I went." Chris mumbled as he sat down on an arm chair and looked at the TV. "What are you watching?" He asked Sirius.

"I... have no idea..." Sirius said slowly staring blankly at the TV.

"Hey, guys... Frank is coming." Remus said as he sniffed the air for a moment as he wandered over to the door.

"How do you know?" Chris asked.

"Ol' Moony has his ways." Sirius said not looking up from the TV. "Okay, now everyone hide!"

"Really?" Gideon asked.

"Hell no." Sirius scoffed and drank some beer.

There was a knock at the door.

"It's open..." Sirius moaned and rested his head on the back of the couch. "James, if you could, please?"

The stag animagus nodded and walked to the door, he threw it open making it hit hard on the rubber door stop. On the other side stood Frank, looking around expectantly at everyone but almost with amused doubt. "Welcome to your potentially lame bachelor party, Frank." James said. "Come on in."

"It will not be lame!" Sirius cried out raising his beer high. "We have tunes, we have some sort of alcoholic drink that Chris bought, we have a keg, and a stripper."

"When is said stripper coming?" Fabian asked with a raised eyebrow.

Remus bit his lower lip and looked down, not entirely comfortable with the idea of a stripper. He did after all have a girlfriend, but his brain wouldn't let him say anything against it. Thankful for him, he didn't have to, James did for him.

"I dunno, Padfoot, if Lily ever found out she'd kill me." James said.

Sirius grinned and responded to his friend. "Well then lucky for you, what goes on it the flat stays in the flat."

"But when is the stripper coming?" Gideon asked with the same urgency his brother had moments before.

Sirius paused. "I dunno, soon... I hope... oh Merlin I pray." He dragged out and took a swig.

"I'm here!" Cried Peter happily as he walked through the door and got greeted by his friends. "Skipped out early, I'm sure my boss wouldn't mind, heh, too much." He said as he walked over to the keg and got a beer.

"Yeah, mate, you've been working your ass off lately." Chris said. He had known the group and gone out with them long enough to know about Peter's busy work schedule, and how it was slowly getting busier.

"I know, I know, but it's hard, you know." Peter said hanging out by the counter with Remus.

"What exactly do you do?" Benjy asked with heavy confusion in his voice.

Peter paused before taking a sip of his drink. "It's complicated." He finally responded.

Sirius laughed and looking at them over the edge of the couch. "And here we thought it would be Moony who got the complicated job, here it is Wormtail has it. The one who got tutored day in and day out."

"Like I'd ever get any sort of complicated job." Remus laughed at the very thought of it.

"Don't sell yourself short, Rem." Chris said.

The rest of the group nodded. "Yeah, you're brilliant, and I didn't even go to school with you freaks, you'll get a good job soon enough, just be patient." Fabian added.

Remus laughed but didn't say anything further, he knew just as well as any of them. A good job in his future was slim to none, he knew it, and he accepted it.

"So, what's Alice doing tonight?" Remus asked.

"She's hanging out with all the girls," Frank said, holding back the urge to say from the Order. "Bachelorett party apparently."

"Wonder if their getting a stripper." Fabian asked and his brother nodded next to him in agreement.

"I wonder." Gideon said.

"Is that all you think about?" Remus asked.

"Yes." The brothers answered in unison.

"If Molly ever found out you were so into wanting the stripper to come she would have a fit on the both of you." James said laughing, they all knew Molly well, they went to school with her even if she was an upperclassman when they were in their first year. But after school and when they got involved with the Order and with Gideon and Fabian, they got reacquainted with her when they were out on non-Order of the Phoenix business.

Gideon laughed and raised his glass in a mock toast. "Well then three cheers for what goes on in the flat –"

"Stay's in the flat." Fabian finished and they both drank.

"What the hell," Benjy said. "I'll drink to that." he raised his bottle and took a swig of his beer.

There was a long pause following the small toast the brothers just initiated. It seemed this bachelor party was going to be quite lame, that is until Sirius bolted up from his place on the couch for once and ran over to the kitchen.

"What are you doing...?" Remus asked as he quickly moved out of the way so he wouldn't get run over by a very urgent Sirius.

"This party," he began. "Has got to get started."

A few seconds later he came back up with a bunch of cups and some small, round, plastic balls. He walked over to the pool table in the den, he couldn't even play pool, it came with the flat. "Come on everyone." He called. "Could one of you bring the keg as well?"

"Sure." Peter said and raised his wand to the keg. He levitated it down the two steps and into the den. "Padfoot, I'm sort of lost here...?"

James looked around and then it dawned upon him and he grinned. "What a wonderful way to pass the time, old mate, beer pong." He said as he began setting the cups up on the other end of the table, while filling them with the bottles of beer while Sirius filled his end with the keg.

"Beer pong?" Frank asked not familiar with the muggle game.

"Simple drinking game." Sirius started explaining. "Try and throw one of the balls into your opponents cup, if you make it in, they drink the cup. Objective is the make them drink all their cups."

"And get them hammered." James added.

"Exactly." Sirius said with a grin as he finished setting up the last cup. "So, who's up first?"

"I say Frank," Remus said. "It is after all his party."

"Brilliant Moony!" Sirius said and grabbed a hold of Frank's arm and set him on one end of the table. "Up against, Benjy, you'll do, get over here."

"Sure thing, be warned Frankie boy, I'm good." Benjy said as he grabbed a ball. "You're the one getting married next week, you go first."

Frank took the small white ball and aimed for a moment before bouncing it across the table, it hit the edge of one of Benjy's cups but it didn't go in. There was a chorus of disappointed and happy groans.

"Now you, Ben, go on." Fabian said.

Benjy went and sure enough it landed straight in Franks first cup. A cheer rang out and Frank downed the cup of beer in one large gulp.

"Don't worry mate," Sirius said patting Frank on the back. "The game gets easier and funnier the more wasted you get."

Lisa: Okay, I was going to show some of the bachelorett party, but I figured ya know with Andy there beer pong is probably getting played as well. I'll leave it to you to decide if the girls had a stripper or not. Hehe...

Heather: Next chapter is the long awaited wedding of Alice and Frank Longbottom.

Lisa: I hope you guys didn't forget about cuz I kinda did.

Heather: Bad Lisa.
