(ps. this is probably the most confusing chapter I have written.. my head hurts.. ow)
Chapter 13
Everyone
Lily Evans
I look at Marlene, she looks tense, but then again so does the whole Gryffindor table.
"We are going to win this," Potter says and stabs his fork into his eggs, causing the red to flow all over his plate. "I know it!"
"Don't be too sure…" Marlene mutters "Gid and Fabian still haven't made up after they're "Beth Davies fight" " she takes a rather rough bite from her toast, probably imagining that its some Ravenclaw student (probably Betty Davies) "We're screwed if they don't listen to each other."
"They'll just have to lay their differences aside," I say and nod.
"More like what they have in common," Mary mutters.
"Or we could just kill Davies, and all problems would be solved." Black says grumpily.
"Yeah, but they'd probably go through some seriously "morning and we would be expelled…" Marlene says and takes a sip from her juice. "Why couldn't she just pick a damn twin?"
"Is in love with them both, is what I heard." Says Mary.
"Hear where? And shouldn't you stop gossiping?" Marlene gives Mary a scowl.
"Gossiping is good, it keeps you posted."
"Yeah, but what about the people you gossip about, do you think they like being gossiped about?"
Mary ignores Marlene with a scowl on her face. "You'll be great," She tells James "You'll all be great," she adds giving the rest of the Gryffindor team a smile, they all sit here expect for the both Prewett twins, trying to eat something before the game.
The Gryffindors try to smile back, but its obvious to everyone that this is going to be one tense game.

"Common Lily," Mary says and tugs on my arms after giving Marlene a short hug. "You'll do fantastic Lene," she says and I can hear her chewing gum click in her mouth and for some reason it annoys me.
"Thanks." Marlene says and she is really pale in the face as she walks away from us.
Mary and I find our seat in the audience stand ready to cheer for our team.
Mary looks around, sighing.
"Who are you looking fro?" Alice asks.
"Oh, just Ver… she's probably sitting somewhere with the Ravens," she sighs.
"You are not going to think about joining them," I tell her with a frown.
"Why not?"
"Marlene, will never forgive you if you sit cheering for the Ravenclaw's"
"I won't be cheering for them." Mary rolls her eyes.
"She still wont like it." I tell her.
"Lily, what's up with the judgy tone?" Mary says and again that horrible chewing gum sounds fills my ears.
"What's with the attitude change Mare?" I throw back at her.
Mary stands up "Do not start this again, I can't stand being with you two anymore!" She looks at Alice and me with a scowl "Tell me when you've stopped judging your friends." She says dramatically "I'm gone to find Ver." She says muttering to herself "Go Gryffindor"
"Are we being to judgy?" Alice sighs and lays her head on my shoulder as we watch her leave.
"I wasn't judging her… just trying to… It was just a question." I answer honestly but when I start to explain more, Matthew McKinnon's voice, Marlene's brother and the Quidditch commentator cuts me off.
"Alright! The second Quidditch game of this season has started. Ravenclaw – Gryffindor. Ravenclaw lost to Slytherin in their last game and are ready for revenge and shall use all they're rage against the Gryffs." Matthew says into the megaphone. "The captains shake hands and the Quaffle is up – the game has started."
- Hunting For Happiness -
"My sister seems to have caught the Quaffle… she was of course taught by the best - LOOK OUT! Sirius Black just nearly saves her from a bloody beater, he is a good baeter that boy - Of course, you have all heard the rumors about them haven't you ? - MCKINNON SCORES - Rumors I would like not to hear ... but… judging by how often that boy snuck into our house last summer ... - LOGAN HARRIS SCORES FOR RAVENCLAW- Well lets just say he wasn't coming to visit me at four a.m."
Even from the audience stand I see Marlene pale, there is laughing all around the pitch and I try my best to send Matt an evil glare.
"Mr. McKinnon!" Professor McGongall says rather darkly
"Yeah sorry professor… on we go about the game, the score is 20 to 10 for Ravenclaw! Peskey seems not to be worrying about the snitch too much, neither is Murrey, but who knows… maybe it is their new strategy. Gid Prewett seems to have built his team just like it was last year - The only new player is Patrick Peskey, seeker – Annette Kath has the Quaffle and she - MISSES! Brilliantly done by Gideon - Gideon to McKinnon... McKinnon to Clearwater... Clearwater to Potter - GRYFFINDOR SCORES! Twenty - Twenty! EVERYTHING CAN HAPPEN NOW!"
I stand up and cheer, not as loudly as I did for Marlene, but loud enough, even though it's Potter I'm cheering for.
"-Wait… Peskey seems to have seen something - Can it really be? HE DIVES! Murrey dives after him! ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN... I CAN?T SEE WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK IS - SORRY PROFESSOR -GOING ON! I CANT SEE - PESKEY HAS GOT THE SNITCH! GRYFFINDOR WINS! 170 - 20! GRYFFINDOR WINS!"
I can't even describe how happy I feel as Alice and I both shoot up from our seats hugging each other and chanting with the rest of our house mates "WE WON WE WON!"
"LILY!" I hear Marlene's excited scream as she flies into my arms for a short second.
"Well done Marlene!" I tell her but she's already gone.
"EVANS!" now its Potter the hugs me, lifting me to the ground and spinning us around.
"Let go Potter" I tell him but with a laugh. "You did well."
"Thank you." He smirks.
"Where did Marlene go?" I wonder and we both look around, but the second I find her I wish I hadn't.
In the middle of the Qudditch pitch my best friend stands, in the arms of the Ravenclaw boy Adam Smethley, her lips on his.
"What the hell?" James asks behind me and I nod, and turn to look at him but realize he isn't looking at Marlene, he's looking at someone else. Siriu and Veronica Smethley. In a heavy snogging season.
Oh. Fuck.
Remus Lupin
When I walk down from the Boys wing few hours after Qudditch game Sirius and James's party at already started.
Sirius walks towards me grinning. "I told you it would be a hit, and drama. There is no drama."
I roll my eyes and open my mouth to say something but he's already disappeared into the crowd of people.
I wander around the room wondering what to do.
And then I see her.
"Remus!" she squeals as she sees me and waves me over.
"Hey Blaire," I tell her as I walk over to her, she smiles at me and whispers something to her friend – Elettika Snow, if I remember right, but also if I remember right Elettika Snow is a Slytherin, but right now I'm too busy to wonder why a Slytherin is in The Gryffndor Tower.
"How you been Remus?" Blaire asks and takes a sip from her butterbeer.
"Just fine" I answer her and smile "And you?"
"Oh, just fine." She nods. "I haven't seen you in a while."
I laugh "Yeah… that's probably because you don't need me anymore, you are probably one of the most talented students in charms, in our year, Blaire."
She laughs and shakes her head. "No, I am not…Herbology is more my thing." She winks "And if I am good in charms, its just because you are such a good tutor." she winks at me, causing me to blush a bit.
"Promise to let me know if I can ever help you with Herbo," she says and winks at me again.
I can't stop myself from blushing and it doesn't help when Sirius appears once again beside me, this time smelling like fire whiskey and obviously a bit drunk.
"Ooh! Remmie and Miss Vandever." He smirks. "Are you guys in love?" he then adds in a fake serious tone.
Blaire rolls her eyes at me over Sirius. "Bite me Black." She tells him and sticks her tongue out.
"Oooh, hardcore Vandever." Sirius laughs taking a swing from his drink. "I sure hope Remus likes them feisty –"
"Sirius leave them alone." Ariadne Ellingham laughs behind us and grabs Sirius's hand as to drag him away from us.
"Ellingham!" he greets her "Fancy a dance?"
Ariadne looks from Sirius to Blaire that looks at her pleadingly.
"Oh sure…" Ariadne laughs and Sirius pulls her into middle of the room to dance.
Blaire looks at me and I sigh. "Sorry Sirius is a bit…"
"He's an ass." Blaire agrees with a laugh. "Do… Do you want to?" she gestured towards the floor.
"Uhm… If you do…" I tell her and once again blush, which is stupid, boys aren't supposed to blush like this.
"I do." She smiles and takes my hand and pulls me to the floor. "I love this song."

James Potter
"IT IS TIME FOR SOME FUN!" I yell over the group and am happy when I hear excited "hell yeah's" all around the room.
Padfoot smirks next to me before he speaks "BUT FIRST. Everyone that is not a 5th year or older has got to go now"
We ignore the groans from the four year's and cheer with the fifth-and-older-years.
When every young kid has found their way up to their dorms Padfoot and I speak again.
"What do you say about a little game Padfoot and I like to call Truth-clothes-and—kiss."
Once again the whole room cheers. We aren't that many I've noticed. Most of the people got tired (or so drunk they passed out) before midnight
But the rest of us sit down in a circle on the floor.
"Rules." Padfoot says and puts a fire whiskey bottle in the middle of the circle. "You pick a person ask them a question. You have to answer completely truthfully." He says, "We've put some of Veritaserum in all the drinks so you wont have a choice." He laughs, everyone is to drunk to care, even Evans is a bit tipsy and doesn't wine over us "Drugging them". "If you don't want to answer the question you'll either remove a piece of clothing or spin the bottle and kiss the person it lands on." Padfoot continues "You cannot remove two clothes in a row, you'll either have to answer or kiss." He looks at every one of us and we all nod. "Got it?"
"Got it!" we all repeat.
"I'll start then…" he looks at Blaire Vandever and I raise by eyebrows. "Vandever," he says and she scowls.
"Yes Black?"
"Who do you fancy?"
It's such a … un-Sirius-ish question and it makes my eyebrows raise again.
Blaire pales and shakes her head. "I am not going to tell you that Black." she tells him and shrugs off her pericardium. "My turn." She says scowling a bit at Sirius again.
She turns to me. "James, you say you are in love with Lily. Why her?" She asks smiling at me shortly and raising her drink and taking a sip.
"Good question Vandever," I tell her and see Lily blush. "I am in love with Lily, because she is beautiful, she is talented, no matter how many times she turns me down I am still always coming back and I love her because I know secretly she loves me back."
I watch as Lily rolls her eyes. "He's drunk," she tells Marlene and then laughs.
"My turn…" I say and take a sip from my drink. "Eva-" I start but change my mind. "Marlene, are you dating Adam Smethley?" I ask mostly for Sirius who sends me a half glare and a half thankful smile.
Marlene narrows her eyes and drags her top over her head, reveling her bra. "I should've put on more clothes."
- Hunting For Happiness -
Mary Macdonald.
Few hours pass and with every question, kiss or cloth-removal we get more and more drunk.
"MY TIME!" I yell as I finish answering April Daniels question (''who was your first kiss'' … "Reg") "Patrick!" I tell and point my finger at the fifth year seeker. "Who do ya fancy?" its such a silly easy question but me in my drunken state cannot think of anything else.
"I'm not spilling that," he says and is just about to remove his pants when Sirius barks out;
"NO! You removed your shirt last time... you have to use the b-bottle!" he slurs and pushes the fires whiskey bottle into his arms.
"Fine." Peskey groans out and spins the bottle
It spins… and spins… and spins… and lands on … Marlene.
Marlene laughs and Peskey reddens.
"You have to kiss" I tell them and grin, my eyes meet Sirius's a moment, he doesn't look really happy.
Marlene rolls her eyes before she leans forward and grabs Peskey's face in her hands and crashes her lips to hiss, ten seconds pass before she stops.
She winks at him "I know I'm good."
Peskey doesn't say a thing just mumbles out. "Evans…"
Lily looks up, surprised he's addressing her.
"Are you a virgin? Or did you loose your virginity to Snape?"
Lily redens again "That… that are two questions."
"Did you loose it to Snape then?" he asks obviously trying to make Lily feel uncomfortable so he won't look as embarrassed after his kiss with Marlene.
"No." Lily answers. "I've not … done … it." She stutters out and grabs my glass from me and downs my drink.
"Uhm… Lupin," she stutters out. "Do… Do you fancy someone?"
Remus blushes. "I do," he answers honestly "Uhm… Mary… Are you and Gilderoy together?"
I laugh. "Oh, no. We're not." I then turn to my best friend "Lene, who'll be your next kiss?"
Marlene laughs. "If I don't end up having to kiss someone here… Probably Adam."
Sirius's eyes narrow and I laugh. "Your turn Lene."
"Who to ask… hmm… Emmeline," Marlene's voice changes as she says Emmeline's name, her voice turning a little… vicious. "Where have you been hiding from everyone?"
Emmeline's eyes widen as she grabs the bottle. "None of your business" she tells Marlene the tone in her voice matching Marlene's before she spins the bottle and it lands … on Sirius.
Sirius raises his eyebrows cockily and smirks, leaning forward.
Emmeline pales as she gives Sirius the quickest peck ever.
"Lame," I mutter and Marlene nudges me, she doesn't look amused.
"Sirius…" Emmeline says taking a sip from her drink, she looks at Marlene and she looks almost like she… hates her. "Who's the last girl you slept with?"
Sirius laughs, his trademark laugh. "Kara Pathle," he answers and I can feel Marlene tense next to me as she mutters out;
"Man whore."
Sirius clearly hears her and narrows his eyes. "Marlene," he addresses her. "Why are you sleeping with someone like Adam Smethley?"
Marlene narrows his eyes before grabbing the bottle and spinning it angrily… it spins… and spins… and lands… on Sirius again.
We all stare at Sirius and then at Marlene as the bottle stops. No one dares to speak.
Marlene grabs the bottle and moves it so it points at the person sitting next to Sirius; James.
"You can't do that –" Patrick Peskey says and moves it back.
"You need to kiss." Someone which name I don't know says.
I look at Marlene, her face shows nothing else but… pain. She looks almost terrified. "I'll answer the question." Marlene says and stands up. "Because he is not you." She tells Sirius with a spat before turning to run away from us and up the girls wing, leaving us all speechless.
"I guess party's over…" James says and stands up. "You were right," he mutters to Remus. "It always ends up with drama."
A/N: THE ENDING WAS LAME. I know. Sorry.
