Enjoy!, I don't have anything to say. Song called Busa from the album Rhythm of the Pride lands.
Chapter 6: The Beach, Hogwarts, and a Dark Scary Place
Last Time:
"Alright Lily- hiccup- I dare you to have sex with Jamesies-poo." Everyone was silent. Lily chugged the last of her bottle, got up and pulled James to her room. Everyone whistled as they left.
Onto the story:
The campfire burned brightly on the beach. The sand glowed as the fire reflected off of it's surface. James and Lily left to complete Lily's dare and by the looks (and sound) of it, they were enjoying themselves too much to want to return. The remaining five decided to continue on without the other two.
Taking James' firewhiskey that had a quarter of the bottle left, Sirius started up again. "Al- hiccup- right, hiccup, I daaarrre you, Tara, tooooo, uhhhh, Moony, why don't yooouuuuuu come up with a dare, ha-ha Moony is a funny name."
Remus rolled his eyes. It was not surprise to him that Sirius was this pissed. He had drunken all of his, the remainder of James and his bottles (Remus had the same amount that James had left over). Over all, Sirius had had one and a half bottles in three hours, which counted for at least seven different people. Thinking for a moment, Remus said (in a much more composed voice), "Tara, your dare is to, to, to, uhhh, I think we ran out of dares."
"WHAT!?! We can't run out of dares, that is –hiccup- unTTTTThinKKKabbbLLLLLLLEEEE!!!!!" slurred Sirius.
"I think youu have- he he- had eeenough- ha ha- to drink foooor tonighh-hah-t" half giggled half slurred Claudia. Alice had a very placid, contemplating look on her face.
"HeeeeeLLLLLLOOO!!! Earth to Buttercup!! Ha-ha that'ssaaa fuuunny name, BUTTercup! He-he!" giggled Tara, "BUTTS!!!!"
"Ha-ha, very funny LV (A/N: short for Lemon Verbena, I couldn't be bothered to write the whole name out, too long). Now, OH! I got a dare- he-he, it's a funny one."
"Wellllll, teellll it already," whined Sirius.
"Ok, Tara, yooooouuuuuu must join Claudia and Remus while they have seeeeexx, now GO!!!"
The three left for the boys' cottage, seeing as the girls' one was … occupied. Now it was just a very drunk Sirius and a slightly tipsy Alice. Alice still had half her bottle left and decided to go for a walk by herself, to be with her thoughts about the up coming was and her dreams.
"Where are youuuu ggoooiiinnngg?" slurred Sirius.
"For a walk," Alice replied shortly, however, before she left, she conjured another bottle of firewhiskey for Sirius (a smaller bottle- one serving bottle). "Now, don't finish your whiskey too quickly."
"Yes, ma'am!" Saluted Sirius before attacking his whiskey like a starved man who hadn't had water in days. Alice rolled her eyes.
As Alice left, Sirius started to sing, very off key.

Alice turned around and yelled back, "I'm not even going to ask how you know that song or how you know how to sing it."
Sirius laughed drunkenly as Alice walked off. The dreams plagued her nightly. It was all she could do to get back to sleep no less forget them. They always ended the same, with death and insanity. But what did they mean? Alice was driving herself mad with trying to figure out what they could possibly stand for but all she got was a headache. They had been happening since the end of fifth year and she still didn't know what they symbolized. Did it mean their side would lose? Did it mean they would win but lose their friends or would they all die? Did it mean that they would win but some of them would die? She didn't like to think that way but she somehow always got there. The only person who knew about the dreams was Tara because she had similar dreams.
Sometimes, she didn't know what to do. The dreams were so vivid and so life like that she would wake up crying and screaming. However, during the day she pushed herself not to think about the dreams. She pushed herself in her classes and, last year, being a devoted girlfriend. However, this year Frank wouldn't be here so she would only have her friends to help her through. Even so, her friends could only do so much, this year, it would really only be Tara helping her and she would help Tara cope with her dreams.
When Alice and Tara talked, they would give every detail about their dreams, after an incident last year that left a boy half destroyed. They said every thing and everyone and every detail, no matter how gruesome or tragic or disturbing the dream happened to be.
Last night, Alice and Tara (who shared a room in the three bedroom cottage that had a living room, den, kitchen, huge fireplace, and three bathrooms) had woken up again screaming. However, their dreams were as different as day and night. Usually they both wake up to similar dreams. Alice's dream consisted of a room full of students (probably the Great Hall) being attacked by Dragons before she woke up. Tara's dream was of a girl with bleach blonde hair and sparkling, sad blue eyes being tortured for information, which she would not give. The torturer happened to be Rodulphus Lestrange and they were in an abandoned castle in located in the middle of nowhere. The girls hated the dreams but it was their destiny to carry them and pass on the information that they deemed necessary for others to have and use. How else would they have to upper hand on Voldemort without the prophetic dreams, present dreams, and dreams of the past?
Alice decided that she had had enough thinking for one night. She got up and went to sleep in the living room, but not before casting a silencing charm on Lily's room, she shivered in disgust at the noises she heard. But then again, there was true love, blind to everything else. Alice smiled lightly at her friends' success in love, much like her love with Frank. Frank, Alice thought with a sigh as she went to sleep.
