Chapter 3

A Night to Remember

"WOOOOO! PARTAYY!" yelled Ellie, jumping up and running to the TARDIS. She disappeared inside, and after a few seconds, a loud Her Bright Skies song began pumping through the room. James smiled to himself and reached into the esky for a drink for Lily. She took it hesitantly, unscrewed the lid, sniffed it cautiously, and then timidly took a sip. Immediately she started coughing and spluttering. James rushed to her side and began patting her on the back. "I'm fine" she choked out. "It was just a bit stronger than I expected." Not wanting to seem weak, she took another sip. This time she was able to swallow it without almost choking to death. James smiled, and took another drink from his own bottle.

"You sure you don't want any?" Sirius asked, offering Meg his bottle. Meg shook her head and smiled up at him.

"Nahhh, I'm right. I think I'll have just as much fun without alcohol, and unlike the rest of you idiots, I'll be able to remember it tomorrow."

"True" he answered thoughtfully, then looked around. With a lazy flick of his wand, he dimmed the lights considerably, and then nodded over to where James was sitting with Lily. "Mood setter" he grinned cheekily.

Suddenly, Ellie squealed. "I love this song!" She jumped up and grabbed Remus's hand. "Come dance with me!" Remus looked unsure, then shrugged and stood up. He was so drunk he could hardly stand straight, but he put his arms around Ellie, and they began a sort of awkward, bouncy dance to the music. James smiled at them, and then extended his hand to Lily. Laughingly she took it, and they joined in the dancing. Sirius shook his head. "Idiots." He said.

Meg just laughed. "Looks fun, shall we join them?" she asked. Sirius shook his head.

"Naaaahhh, I don't like dancing. Don't make those puppy-dog eyes at me! I mean it. Aw, come on, that's not fair! No, seriously, I can't dance. Really! I'm a terrible dancer! *Sigh*. Okay, fine, but if I stand on your feet, it's your loss." Sirius allowed Meg to take his hand and pull him to his feet. They started spinning around, and then Meg stopped and looked around.

"What about Peter?" She asked. She had somehow managed to forget about the quiet boy in all the excitement, but now she realised he must be feeling rather left out. "Where is he?"

"I don't know" frowned Sirius. "He was here a moment ago." They both looked around, and became slightly worried when they couldn't see him. The door opened then, and Peter crept in, as though trying not to be seen. He jumped guiltily when he saw Meg and Sirius watching him, and almost dropped the camera he was holding.

"Um, h-hi" he stuttered, and Meg laughed.

"What are you sneaking around for?" She asked. "Are you hiding something?"

Peter smiled sheepishly and held up his camera. "I was hoping to get some pictures without anybody noticing. For my scrapbook. I like to get pictures of everything I do, but I thought you guys might not want photos."

Meg shrugged. "I don't mind. Do you, Sirius?" Sirius shook his head. He was used to Wormtail taking photos all the time. Meg put her arm around Sirius and they both stuck their tongues out. Peter snapped their picture and wandered away to take photos of the others.

Sirius took Meg's hands and put them on his shoulders then put his own hands on her waist and they began swaying to the music. "This is the wrong kind of music for this kind of dancing!" shouted Meg laughingly. The music seemed to have gotten considerably louder and she had to shout to be heard above it.

Sirius shrugged and laughed. "Oh well, this is the only kind of dancing I know how to do!" He pulled her in close. The song ended and a new one came on. This song was even louder and faster than the one before. Everyone ran into the middle of the room and started jumping up and down waving their arms and singing as loudly as they could and just generally being silly.

James spun Lily around and she laughed and took another sip of her drink. Lily had been apprehensive at first, but now she was starting to have fun. This was the first time she had ever done anything reckless, and even though sneaking out and drinking wasn't the worst she could do, she was feeling rather rebellious. But at the same time there was the worry she would get caught. She couldn't help it. She was a worrier and a good girl and this was going against everything her parents and the school had taught her.

James brushed some hair out of Lily's face and smiled down at her. She really was beautiful, but she seemed slightly troubled about something. "What's wrong?" he asked gently, brushing a finger across her cheek. She sighed and turned her face slightly, so she didn't have to look at him.

"Sorry for being a bit of a party-pooper, but I'm just worried we'll get caught. I don't want to get into trouble"

James laughed. She was such a goody-goody, but it was understandable. After all, she was a prefect. Being stuck up came with the territory. He took her hands and looked into her eyes. "If we get caught, which I'm sure we won't, but if we do, I'll take the blame."

Lily smiled. It was sweet of him, but there was one major flaw in his plan. "But I'm here" she pointed out. "Even if you take all the blame for organising this and getting the alcohol and everything, the fact still remains that I'm here of my own free will."

"No, you were kidnapped" James reminded her. "We can just tell them that. Tell them you're brainwashed, or under the Imperious Curse, or whatever. They wouldn't put anything past Sirius and I. Don't worry Lilz; I won't let you get in trouble."

Even though she knew nothing like that would work, she let herself believe him against her better judgement. He wanted to protect her, and he was being really sweet. She had never seen this side of him before. He had always been arrogant, selfish, attention-seeking and loud. Lily didn't want to spoil the party or James's good mood, so she swallowed her anxiety and took another drink. James smiled and followed suit. He could see that Lily was choosing to trust him, and he was determined to not let her down. After four years of ignoring and avoiding him, Lily was finally giving him the time of day. He wasn't going to blow it.

Where's Ellie? Thought Meg, looking around. She's disappeared. She was worried for a second, until she realised Remus was gone as well. The two had probably snuck out without anyone noticing while everyone was dancing. Meg considered going to look for the missing two, and then almost immediately dismissed the thought. She wouldn't want to walk in on anything. Rolling her eyes, she returned to dancing with Sirius, laughing as he spun her around. In the corner, Peter was taking as many photos as he could manage.

As I said before, I haven't gotten any reviews on this story yet, so pretty pretty please review it for me? I really want to know what people think of Meg and Ellie
