Yep, here's Chapter 13. I didn't like this chapter very much so please let me know what you think.

R&R please!

To get back at me for the whole pretending to crush Briggs thing Sirius organized a little get together that night after dinner.

"No."

"Please Twinkle!"

"No."

"You can bring all your little friends and I'll bring some mates okay?"

"No."

"You'll enjoy it."

"No."

"Look-"

I was getting to him now. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha

"I am taller than you, larger than you, stronger than you, play more quidditch than you, and I am quite capable of picking you up and carrying you to the Room of Requirements so unless you want everyone in Gryffindor tower to see you being dragged along by your hair I suggest you move NOW!"

"No."

"AAAHHHHH. Please Twinkle. For me."

I started saying something really witty and sarcastic like 'And what difference do you make' when he did his puppy dog face.

And the next thing I knew I was sitting with Jazz, Alice, Max, Lizzie, Lily, Sirius, James, Remus, Peter and Frank in a room I had never seen before. It was really warm, despite the snow outside, and had a brightly crackling fire. The walls were draped in scarlet and gold and there were several comfortable couches arranged in a square around a table with a bottle in a holder on it.

Oh no.

I seriously need to learn to stand up to Sirius when he does that face but something in my just goes to mush. Like ice cream in summer. Sweet and gooey but slightly off putting.

"Welcome." Announced Sirius, to some polite applause from everyone except Lily and me (we were sulking)

"To Marauder Strip Truth or Dare."

Jazz let out a whoop but Lily looked outraged. I was trying to hide in my hands, again.

"There's only one rule, " he continued, sliding an arm around my waist, (I didn't have the energy to hake him off) "Don't do the Dare, take off the clothes. Got it?"

We all nodded.

"Okay, here goes," he gestured to me with his free arm towards the bottle, "Do the honours Twink."

I reached forward and pushed my fingertips against the cool glass. It span, dizzyingly fast, for a few seconds before landing on Peter.

I smirked, maybe this evening would have some bonuses after all.

"Truth or Dare?"

He scrunched up his nose and said, after much boring deliberation, "Truth, no Dare. Truth. Or Dare, erm, Truth, yeah truth"

I put one finger to my chin and pretended to think. "Have you ever peed in a swimming pool?"

He turned red and muttered a quick no. The opening neck of the bottle turned to him like a canon and shot green sparks at him which set his trousers on fire while screaming

"Liar, liar, pants on fire!"

"Oh yeah, one thing I forgot to mention, " Black yelled over the screams of Peter, and the howls of laughter from everyone (Peter was tearing round the room, half sobbing, half screaming, and desperately hitting his arse with his hands to stop the fire.) "If you lie, the bottle know and the fire won't go out until you tell the truth."

"YES YES YES!" screamed Peter, who was clutching at his butt like he was worried it might fall off. I could hardly breath, it was so funny.

The fire vanished and Peter perched back on the sofa next to Jazz and Max who were clutching each other and snorting.

Peter scowled and gave the bottle a shove. It whirled and landed on Sirius next to me.

"Truth or D-"

"Dare!" Sirius cut in before he could finish.

"I dare you to…. I dare you to come up with as many sexual innuendos as you can to Arty before she hits you and gives you another black eye."

Black kissed my nose," I'm going to apologise about this in advance because I don't want you to hit me too hard.

I winked at him. "I might not hit you in the balls again if you really beg." Sometimes I don't know how I dare to say half the stuff I say.

"Here goes nothing. How do you like your eggs in the morning? Fertilized?"

"That is sick!"

"Why don't you come over here, sit in my lap and we'll talk about the first thing that pops up?"

"Shall I hit you now, just to save us both the embarrassment?"

"I've been a bad boy. Spank me!"

This was funny, in a terribly painful kind of way.

"I have the urge to make you the happiest lady on earth tonight.

"You'd make me the happiest lady on earth tonight by shutting up."

"Excuse me. I'm from the FBI, the Fine Body Investigators, and I'm going to have to ask you to assume that position."

Everyone else was laughing their heads off.

"Do you even know what the FBI is?"

"I've got ship, you've got the harbour, how about we tie up for the night?"

Jazz let out a wolf whistle.

"Do you actually come up with these in your spare time?"

"The outfit would look great crumpled in a heap next to my bed."

Does he seriously go around making these up?

"Hey baby…Mind if I take my pants off?"

"YES!"

"The word of the day is 'Legs'. What do you say to going back to our dorm ad spreading the word?"

"!"

"I'm trying to determine after many years of therapy and lots of testing, whether or not I'm allergic to sex."

"You? No chance!"

"Hi, will you help me find my lost puppy? I think he went into the dorm upstairs."

"Would it save everyone the trouble if I just gave up and went mad now?"

"I'M GONNA HAVESEX TONIGHT!"

"Huh? Who with?"

"That depends, what are you doing about 1pm?"

I walked straight into that one didn't I?

"I know it's not Christmas, but Santa's lap is always ready."

"You're missing the beard."

"Wrap it in foil before checking her oil."

I can't take anymore. I punched him in the face.

Jazz let out a cheer and everyone fell about. Even Lily was grinning, though that might have been the large amounts of fire-whiskey that was being passed round.

We stood and took a bow and I fixed Sirius's nose before he span the bottle again.

"Okay Alice, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth"

"What turns you on?"

"Frank." She said without batting an eyelid, and settled into her boyfriends lap and reaching forward to spin the bottle.

"Lily, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to...Give a piece of underwear to...James!"

She frowned at him for a bit then pulled her top up at the back and undid her bra. My jaw fell open, as did everyone else. James looked like he'd died and gone to heaven.

I think lily must have seen everyone's faces because she shrugged. "It was a dare wasn't it?"

She span the bottle and it landed on Jazz.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Dare, can't let Lily have all the fun!"

"I dare you to snog Peter!"

Peter sat forward hopefully but Jazz was already taking off her shoes. "Soz babes, but I have standards." Peter sat in the corner and sulked for the rest of the evening.

"Truth or Dare James?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to use as many pick up lines as you can on Lily until she begs you to stop by doing whatever you ask her too."

James went pale but Lily just started giggling, and it occurred to me for the first time that they hadn't argued in over 2 months.

"That's a blatant rip off of mine and Twinks one!" Sirius scowled.

"Just do the dare!"

"Okay, Lils. You like lessons, this is a muggle one. Do you want to do maths? Let's add a bed, subtract your clothes, divide your legs and multiply!"

Lily flushed scarlet, the same colour as her hair, a swatted half heartedly at James. He slipped his hand into hers and she went even redder.

"You may fall from the sky, you may fall from a tree, but the best way to fall...is in love with me."

"Aaaah Jamsie Poos gone all romantic." No guesses for whole that was.

"My magic watch says that you don't have any knickers on."

Lily looked confused. "Yes I do."

"Damn, it must be fifteen minutes fast."

"Okay, whatever you got with the last one you just lost with that." Lily tried to tug her hand out of James and sent me a pleading look. I shrugged and took another gulp from the bottle of fire-whiskey.

"Do you believe in love at first sight or do you want me to walk past again?"

"I've turned you down for 6 years, it's hardly first sight!"

"If I told you that you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"

Lily took another gulp of her drink and pouted. "What do I have to do to get you to SHUT UP?"

"Sit in my lap for the rest of the evening."

"Even I'm not that desperate!"

"Did it hurt when you fell out of heaven?"

"Nope, that's what the wings are for."

"AAAAH, aren't they just the cutest couple ever!"

"SHUT UP JAZZ!"

"There are 20 angels in the world- 11 are sleeping, 8 are busy and 1 is sitting next to me."

"What can I say, I've got the halo." I definitely think Lily's drunk.

"I've noticed you noticing me and I'm just giving you notice that I've noticed you!"

Lily hiccupped and started giggling along with everyone else.

"Roses are red, candle light flickers, after the meal, it's off with the knickers."

I snorted and almost fell off the couch. I felt Sirius's hands grab my waist before I hit the floor and hoist me back up into his lap. I blamed the alcohol but it was really nice just sitting there with his arms around my waist. I'm a drunk 17 year old, even I can't control the feelings sometimes

"Did the sun come up or did you just smile at me?"

"Don't get use to it. Okay, I surrender, you win, no more pick up lines PLEASE!" And with that she clambered into his lap. I felt my jaw drop again.

Definitely drunk.

"Max, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare."

"Make out with Peter."

Peter sat back hopefully and uncrossed his arms but his hope was short lived as Max shook her head and pulled off her hoodie.

She winked at him and said, "Sorry darling but I have standards."

Max then span the bottle completely oblivious to the filthy look Peter was shooting her.

"Lizzie, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Erm, if you had to snog anyone here, who would it be?"

"Pass!" She was flushing as she pulled of her own shoes and span the bottle.

"Frank, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Make out with a girl of your choice that isn't Alice."

"Nope, it's Alice or no-one." He kissed her neck, then pulled off his shirt.

"Lils, tr-"

"Dare!"

"Snog Peter. " Lily didn't even bother apologising as she yanked off her shoes.

I tried to smother my laughter as I watched Peter scowl and muttered, "Yeah I know 'standards'."

Unfortunately I didn't smother it enough and was on the receiving end of another filthy look. If looks could kill I'd be 6 feet under.

"Arty?"

I didn't trust Lily not to say something about Sirius that I might regret later when I was sober so I picked dare.

"Snog Pete."

I rolled my eyes and pulled off my tie. Peter looked ready to storm out of the room.

And so it went on.

I got Jazz to cat walk across the room 'seductively'. Jazz got Lily to admit the worst thing she'd done outside of Hogwarts was to punch her sister in the face. Lily got Remus to graffiti on the walls outside the room of requirement (which I was liking better and better as it kept producing more bottles of fire-whiskey) 'Snape is a sexy beast. Rawr!' and Remus dared Lizzie to make out with Peter, but she refused and took off her socks.

"Sorry Peter," she did look a little bit upset about being the 5th girl to turn him down but then Remus put his arm around her and she cheered up considerably considering she had sworn blind a few weeks ago that she wasn't into him.

"But I've got-"

"Standards!" We all bellowed and Peter stalked out of the room to everyone's amusement.

My head was beginning to feel nicely muffled as Jazz suddenly let out a strangled gasp and started grabbing her stuff.

"SORRY GUYS!" she yelled as she sped out the door, "GOT AN APPOINTMENT TO KEEP WITH JOSH SOMEBODY IN THE BROOM CUPBOARD ON THE FORTH FLOOR AND I'M GONNA BE LATE!"

"She doesn't even know the guys last name and she's making out with them?" Sirius pretended to look disgusted. I elbowed him in the ribs and raised an eyebrow.

"She's better than you. You didn't even know the name of the girl you were making out with in the cupboard on the 6th floor a few weeks back!"

He started to reply but Lizzie cut in

"Truth or Dare Arty?"

"Dare!"

"Give Sirius your bra."

"No chance!"

I untied my converses and chucked them into the middle.

Frank imitated Hagrid after too much wine, then dared Alice to make out with him which she did so with so much undesirable information that Sirius yelled out 'Get a room!' and the room produced a thankfully soundproofed room that they both disappeared into.

Almost an hour later, (ten to 9) Max left too saying she had to do that 'ruddy transfiguration that the ruddy quidditch captain made her miss because of practise!' James had ducked to empty bottle that had been lobbed at his head and spun the bottle again.

Lizzie admitted that she was scared of spiders and I stood on my head for 5 minutes. James was dared to eat a worm sandwich which he transfigured into a ice cream and Lily lost her socks by refusing to kiss James and Sirius took one look at my face and took off his shirt when James dared him to kiss me. I lost my socks too by refusing to say what my deepest secret was. (To be honest I'm not really sure if my deepest secret in the Aquainfantia thing or the fact that I don't have a clue who my dad is. Either way I don't want that sort of information out in the open)

"Lizzie, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth." She was pinky red and was giggling.

Note to self- do that de hangover charm on Lizzie tomorrow morning, she gets drunk way easier than most people.

"Do you fancy Remus?" That was probably a bit mean of me but what can I say? I'm tipsy.

She went from rose to tomato and started stuttering. "Pass,"

"Fine, " Sirius is so evil sometimes! "Take off your shirt."

She gaped at him, by-passing red and going white. "W-what?" She looked down and seemed to realise for the first time that she'd got to the stage where flesh was going to start showing.

She stood up and grabbed her clothes and shoes, "You know what, I just remembered I haven't done that conclusion for Slughorn's essay of Polyjuice Potion. I'd better go." And with that she ran for it.

"Go on!" James gave Remus a light punch on the arm. "Go after her! In fact, that's my dare, go after her or strip!"

"It's not your go!" Lily cut in but James sent her a look and she fell silent. I wondered vaguely why Remus looked like a raspberry but he left without another word and I let it drop.

Thinking is overrated.

"That was evil Sirius. EVIL!" I let out the bubble of laughter and collapsed back against his chest. I felt him stiffen and my laughter died.

"What?" He hadn't minded before.

"You called me Sirius!"

Did I? I guess I've been calling him Sirius in my head for so long now it must have slipped out.

"Yeah? Got a problem with that?"

"...No. It sounds cute when you say it. That's my dare to you. Call me Sirius forever and ever and ever!"

"Forever?" I did my wide eyed look at him and grinned. "Okay Sirius whatever you say."

By half eleven the colours were beginning to blur together and my head was begging to ache. In case your wandering who was winning on the clothes front I shall write a list.

Lily- Shirt and knickers

James- trousers and, I hope, boxers

Sirius- boxers (blue with a broomstick pattern by the hem, not that I was looking or anything)

and Me- bra, knickers and skirt

In normal circumstances I would have been mortified but at the moment everything just felt like a massive joke.

A clock appeared on the wall above the fire place when I wondered what time it was and I jumped when it began to chime midnight.

My head was a mixture of pounding headache and just wanting Sirius to shut up that stupid game and snog me. I remember falling sideways and Sirius catching me. I remember yawning and giggling at the same time, giving me hiccups. I remember Lily and Sirius's worried faces.

And then...And then I couldn't remember anymore.
