The Party
The week at Hogwarts went by really quickly after the trip to Hogsmeade and all the seventh years (and a few sixth years) were really excited about the party which made them lose focus on lessons. The only people concentrating on school work was Hermione and Remus, but obviously each other played at the backs of their minds. At lunch the marauders snuck into Hogsmeade to get more firewhiskey whilst the girls were in the courtyard talking about what might happen at the party. "I really hope Frank goes, I've liked him for so long what do, I do I'm so nervous I just want to be together" Alice panicked but the girls reassured her. "Alice calm down!" Lily laughed. "Frank won't stop going on about you in herbology I think you're safe Alice" Marlene declared. "Who else reckons Hermione and Remus will end up together by the end of the night?" Emmeline squealed. "By the looks of what I saw the other morning you would have thought they already were!" Hermione blushed, conversation like this always made her go red. Lily gasped "What about the other morning Mary?!" Everyone turned to look at Mary apart from Hermione who was fiddling with her skirt. "Cuddled up asleep on the sofa in the common room weren't you Hermione" Mary winked and everyone turned to Hermione. "Aw mione that's adorable! Please go out already it's like you were made for each other!" All the girls were convincing Hermione to go out with Remus when the four boys came up for the group of girls. "Talking about how handsome I am ladies?" Sirius said strutting towards them sitting next to Emmeline who shuffled closer to him. "Don't be silly Sirius" Lily rolled her eyes and whispered something about how stupid boys were sometimes. "We got the extra firewhiskey!" James rattled his bag and the bottles clinked together inside. Everyone did a quiet cheer apart from Hermione, "come one Hermione we are getting pissed cheer up!" Sirius spoke. "I don't want to get drunk, I will look after the girls" Hermione didn't really like getting drunk, the firewhiskey burnt her throat and doesn't go back to normal until a few days after. "Hermione we are not letting you look after us I'm sorry but you need to have some fun! Live a little" Hermione was shocked with Lily's answer, she was always the responsible one and was totally against the party. After around ten minutes of everyone convincing Hermione to drink she agreed to only having one drink and no more.
After lunch Hermione and Lily had a free period so decided to get ready for the party earlier as when the rest of the girls came back from lessons the dorm will be crowded and they won't have enough time else. The girls sat on their beds with face masks on they made out of some fruit the house elves gave them in the kitchen and both were nervous about the party. "Hermione" Lily asked. "You alright Lily?" Hermione turned to her friend. "I don't think James is how he used to be to be honest, he seems to have grown up a bit since last year" Hermione smiled at this changed. "Lily do you like James?" She had a big grin at her friend whilst Lily looked away a little bit and if you took the facemask off she would definitely blushing. "I don't know, maybe. Let's take these masks of now anyway" The girls "purgo'd" the mask of and started to do their makeup and hair. Lily had a beauty spell book and the pair searched for makeup and hairstyles Lily used "Fumus nigri" For her eyes which presented a smokey eye effect on her lids. For her hair she used "directa" the made her hair shiny and add voluminous curls. Hermine used "Linea naturilis" Which gave her eyes eyeliner and her makeup was very natural. For her hair simple "cincinnis" spell which made her hair shiny and add voluminous curls.
When the rest of the girls came back Hermione and Lily helped the others with their hair and makeup. "Can someone go check where the boys are?" Someone asked, no one wanted to go down so Emmeline went down because an argument was about to break out. "The boys have just left they said they will meet us there" she uttered. After 10 more minutes of sorting each other out the group were all finally ready, Hermione was feeling very nervous as was Lily. The rest of the girls were eager to get drunk and have fun.
The girls walked quietly to the room of requirement successfully without seeing any teachers. As soon as the girls walked in there was a series of cheers and wolf whistles and a few glares from the other girls from different houses. As soon as Remus saw Hermione his jaw dropped, she was beautiful. The curls bounced lightly next to her face and her face had slight make up on but looked truly beautiful to Remus. He didn't want to start drinking until he saw Hermione, he wanted to remember her that night. James and Remus came over to Lily and the other girls parted to see other friends and try and get a few boys attention, apart from Alice who went to find Frank. Everyone looked like they were having a good time, people had already started on drinks the music was blasted quite loudly, in the corner were the slytherins including Severus who kept to themselves and in another corner people were playing spin the bottle which Sirius was playing and currently had to snog Emma Vanity a slytherin.
The four decided to start on the drinks, the firewhiskey didn't take long to get them drunk but Hermione was a lightweight so she got drunk the quickest. H
Hermione was dazed she felt happy and carefree and just wanted to dance around, so that's what she did. She got up into the middle of the room where everyone was dancing dragging Remus along and dancing, Remus wasn't much of a dancer but he could feel the alcohol settling in and he didn't really care what he was doing as long as he was with Hermione. She grabbed his hands making them dance, she twirled and was having a good time. After dancing the pair got more firewhiskey downing it all in one go.
Alice found Frank and to Hermione's attention were holding hands which made Hermione happier knowing Neville will still be in the future. Severus was talking to Narcissa Black and Bartemius was laughing and joking around and was the only slytherin who was slightly drunk which annoyed the rest of his house.
In the corner James and Lily had found eachother and were up close and personal snogging with Sirius trying to congratulate him but being ignored. The slytherins were not drunk but acted as if it was a dinner party. On one of the sofas Remus and Hermione sat down and Sirius joined them. "Remus Hermione are you going out yet! Cause you should already I'm just saying!" Hermione looked confused but before she could reply James and Lily came back holding hands, everyone around had their jaws open and the both of them had huge smiles on their faces. The only one who was incredibly drunk was Hermione and decided sitting down was boring, Hermione got up and drank more bottles of firewhiskey and everyone just laughed at her, no one has ever seen Hermione drunk and it was something to be remembered. Hermione danced a little bit on her own as the other sobered up a little. "Do you think we should check on her?" Remus asked worriedly, he didn't want her to get hurt. "Let's all go" The 4 went to the middle of the room where Hermione was dancing with Mary, "Hermione you alright?" James asked, Hermione turned around and gave him a big smile. "Harry I've missed you!" Hermione ran to James and gave him a big hug, everyone was very confused. "Hermione its James, who's harry?" Hermione rolled her eyes "Stop being silly Harry, it's you Harry Potter!" Hermione carried on dancing until she saw Remus and Sirius giving her worried looks, she screamed at walked slowly backwards. "Hermione what's wrong?" Remus stepped forward to comfort her but she flinched away. "You're meant to be dead professor! I saw you get killed where's tonks and teddy?!" Hermione started to cry, when Sirius tried to help she screamed again and fell to her knees. "all of you, you're dead how are you back, Voldemort, Voldemort killed you where's Harry and Ron. My ron I need him" She began to cry harder. Snape heard Hermiones cries and shouts and walked over to the gryffindors. "Hermione it's Severus" Hermione looked up to see her teacher. "Professor help me" The marauders were not happy with this arrangement. "No way is Snivellus taking Hermione!" James shouted. Instead Snape picked her up over his shoulder. "Remus you can come with me if you want" Remus nodded. "Severus what are you doing she's my best friend!" Lily stormed over to her old best friend. "Lily I need to help her okay you don't understand, I'm sorry" Lily stood there not saying a word while Snape and Remus helped the crying Hermione to the potions room.
