Chapter 34: Ring of Fire
The men grinned widely as the girls came into the Head common room. “Let the messiness begin.” James and Sirius announced loudly. Everyone laughed as everyone reached for their drinks. The drinking was slow at first but as midnight drew closer and closer, they were slowly getting drunker and drunker. The drinking games were getting more and more hilarious. Alice taught them Ring of Fire.
“Right.” Alice slurred as she placed a pint glass in the middle of the floor and spread out a deck of muggle cards around the glass. “We go around the circle. One by one and we pick one card. Each of the cards represent a task. They could be for any of us.” She giggled for at least 3 minutes. “Right.” She pointed to a list on the wall. “There are the rules. Who's ready?” Everyone looked a little weary but the men were very excited. “Great! May, since it is your birthday tomorrow or soon, you can go first.”
“Fine.” She said nervously as she reached forwards and picked a card, turning it over and looking at it. “5 of diamonds.”
Alice looked up at the rules. “Thumb card. Right. You can use this only once but whenever you want. You just put your thumb on the floor and everyone else has to do it too, but you can't tell them. They have to notice. The last person to put their thumb on the floor has to drink two shots.” Everyone nodded slowly. This was going to be a long game but possibly well worth it. “Right, let's go around the circle.” She looked at May's right. “Peter, you pick the next card.”
Peter chose a card, turned it over and looked at it. “Ace.”
“Oh! Waterfall!” Alice squealed without looking at the rules. “This one is guaranteed to get you completely wasted!” She laughed. “Right, Pete starts drinking first and then James, followed by myself, Frank, Hannah, Lily, Sirius and finally May. But the catch is that nobody is allowed to stop drinking until the person on your left has stopped, except Pete. He can stop whenever he wants.”
“So, if Pete stops drinking, I get to stop drinking?” James asked.
“That's right. And so on and so forth.” Alice grinned wildly.
James raised his glass. “You are a little dangerous, Alice. But I like it.” He looked at Peter, who was grinning slightly. “Be careful Wormtail. You know what you're like after a few drinks.”
“I've learnt my lesson.” Peter chuckled. He looked around at the others. “Ready?” Bringing his drink to his lips. “Go.” And he began to start drinking as did the rest of the circle. He lasted about 17 seconds of drinking and stopped but James carried on. Soon stopping, as did Alice, Frank and Hannah but Lily kept drinking, watching Sirius and May as she drank. She soon gave up. Sirius and May soon after her. “That was evil.” Peter laughed.
“I know.” Alice giggled. The game got started, the drinks flowed and the speech became more slurred. “I got a King!” She poured a quarter of her triple vodka and orange juice. “Only one King left. Whoever gets this King, they have to put their drink in and then drink the dirty pint.” She was slurring quite a lot.
Frank picked up a card. There was only about 14 cards left. “Four! For the whores!” He burst out laughing as did everyone else. The girls reached forward for their shot glasses and shot them back. The boys laughed at the faces the girls made at the sourness of their drinks.
“What was that?” May coughed and choked after her shot.
“Sambuca!” Sirius laughed and kissed her cheek.
“It tastes all right but it has a bit of a bite the first time.” Lily giggled. “Come on Hannah. Your go.”
Hannah picked a card. “Six.” She looked up at the rules. “Dicks! Drink boys!” Each of the boys took their shots. They all made a face at the taste of the drink. “Ha!” Hannah exclaimed. “Serves you right for laughing at us.”
“My go!” Lily chirped up and reached forward, picking up a card. When she turned it over, her smiled dropped. “King.” She mumbled. Everybody laughed as she poured some of her drink into the pint glass and then picked up the glass. Her upper lip curled in disgust as she looked into the glass. “Oh Merlin!” She groaned as she brought the glass to her lips and began downing the mixture of firewhisky, vodka and lemonade, beer and lastly vodka and orange juice. Everyone looked at her impressed as she downed her drink without stopping or even gagging. When she finished, she put the glass back in the middle of the floor. “What?” She said with a grin. “Didn't think I could do that?”
James slowly shook his head and grinned. “Nope. But I now see you in a completely new light. Marry me?”
“James!” May threw a pillow at him but giggled when it hit Alice. “Oops! Sorry Al!” Giggling still as she threw it back at her. “Ow!” May complained with a load of giggles.
“Game over!” Alice announced. “What shall we play next?”
Sirius grinned like a cheshire cat. “I think we should either play truth or dare or strip poker. Or both!” He laughed loudly. He quickly glanced up at the clock. “No! Not yet! 10 minutes until the New Year.”
“Let's go outside.” Frank suggested. “Would be cool to meet the New Year in the snow.” James stood up and ran into his room. “Was it something I said?”
James soon returned. “My dear Frank. No it wasn't.” He chuckled. In his arms were 4 boxes of fireworks. “Pads, there are more in my room.” Sirius unwrapped his arms from around May and stood up, walking into James' room without even stumbling or tripping. He also returned with 4 boxes of fireworks. “Come on, you lot. Let's get outside before it turns 12.” The group of friends struggled to get up off the floor and they drunkenly walked out of the Heads' common room and into the cold air of the castle.
It took them a good five minutes to get out into the grounds. The group huddled together to keep them warm from the winter night as James and Sirius quickly set out the fireworks. They returned to the group. “Here we go!” Lily looked at her watch. “10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Happy New Year!”
Sirius and James quickly ignited the fireworks with their wands. Frank and Alice were already sharing their New Year's Kiss. Sirius pulled May into him and kissed her passionately. The other four were watching the fireworks in delight. James wanted to kiss Lily but he didn't want to push his luck with her. They had an argument a few days before, so he didn't want to be an idiot and try and kiss her. Hannah was cheering every explosion in the sky.
Lily slowly stepped beside James. “The fireworks are a good idea.” She spoke quietly.
“Thanks Lily. Look, I'm sorry about the other day.” He didn't look away from the fireworks, which were flying through the sky in all different colours. “I was being an idiot.”
“As usual.” She chuckled. “I'm sorry too. We've been getting along much better.” She slowly slipped her hand into his. “I want to try and get along better.”
James turned away from the fireworks and looked at her. “Me too. Happy New Year, Evans.” He smirked a little.
Lily turned to look at him, she was laughing a little. “Happy New Year, Potter.” She stood on her toes slightly and kissed him softly. He tried to deepen the kiss but she pulled away. “Don't push your luck Potter.”
“Sorry, Evans.” He chuckled lightly.
“Hey guys! Now that you two have made up, can we go back inside? I can't feel anything below my knees.” Alice complained. Frank already had his arms tight around her to try and keep them both warm. Everyone agreed to go back into the castle and back to more drinking. They found the fire was bigger and the Heads' Common Room was warm and cosy.
“Happy Birthday.” Sirius whispered in May's ear as they sat on a sofa together.
“Thank you.” She turned to look at him. He gently kissed her but with the amount of alcohol in both their systems, they deepened the kiss.
“Oh bloody hell!” James groaned. “And they're off. Again.” He picked up a pillow and threw it at the pair of them, causing them both to break apart. “I'm not going to tell you to get a room because she's my sister.” They laughed as Sirius, untangled himself from May and dived at James. The two of them began wrestling in the middle of the Common Room.
“Men!” Lily rolled her eyes and sat next to May. “Happy Birthday.” She hugged her friend. “I will give you your present tomorrow.”
“Thanks, Lil.” May chuckled as she watched her boyfriend and brother fight on the floor. “Oh no! All the alcohol is gone.”
“What?!” The pair of them stopped and looked up.
“That stopped you from wrestling.” May laughed. “Come on! Let's keep drinking!” Reaching for a bottle of muggle beer, pulling the top off and throwing the lid at them.
“Attack!” James cried and jumped on his sister. “Happy Birthday!” He hugged her tightly. “Now.” Climbing off May. “Since the alcohol has not gone missing or ran out, let's continue with the partying.” Grabbing a bottle of muggle beer and taking a big swig of its contents. The celebrations continued late into the night. Alice was the first to pass out. “She can stay in my bed.” James offered gentlemanly. “I will sleep on the sofa.”
Nearly every single one of them were dropping. “My bed?” Sirius whispered in May's ear.
“I can't tonight.” She chuckled softly and nestled into his arms.
“Oh right.” He chuckled softly. “Do you want to go back to the Gryffindor Tower?” May nodded softly. “Come on then.” He kissed her cheek softly. The two of them stood up. “Right, we're off.”
“Awwww!” James pouted. “Why?”
“It's 3 in the morning James and we're tired.” May groaned as she rested her head on Sirius' shoulder.
“Uhhh! You're not going anywhere!” James warned them both. “I know what you're going to be doing.”
May burst out laughing. “Bloody hell, James! We're going to have sex! I really want to go to bed to sleep.” She sighed heavily. “Good night James.” She chuckled and the two of them walked away.
“Night everyone!” Sirius shouted loudly and led a sleepy May out of the Heads' Common Room. “Happy Birthday baby.”
“Thank you.” She whispered softly. They walked slowly to the seventh floor to the portrait of the Fat Lady, who was fast asleep. “You can wake her up.” May was still whispering.
“Fine.” He chuckled and kissed the side of her head. “Snowball fights!” Sirius shouted loudly. The portrait didn't even flinch. “Bloody hell.” He groaned. “OI!” He shouted again. The portrait flinched awake and glared at the two of them. “Snowball fights!”
“You two shouldn't be out this late.” She grumbled and the portrait swung open.
“She's been on the sherry with Violet.” Sirius chuckled as he led a very sleepy May inside. “Come on, beautiful.” He lifted her into his arms and carried her up to his dormitory. Gently, he lay her on his bed, climbed in next to her and pulled the warm covers over them both. “Happy Birthday, love.” Kissing her softly and drifting off to sleep quickly.

For the next one month and a half, James and Lily were taking their growing relationship slowly. They barely had time to spend alone together. With Valentine's Day approaching, James thought this would be the best time to spend more time with Lily. He had already started organising it. He just needed to ask her. Even though their exams were months away, she was already reading and revising. “Um.... Lily? Do you have a minute?” He asked nervously.
Lily put her her quill down and looked up from the table, that was in their common room. “Sure.” Giving him a small smile.
“I was wondering if you wanted to spend Valentine's Day with me?” He spoke quietly and nervously.
She gave him a slightly bigger smile. “I'd like that.” She kept her gaze on his. “Can I get back to my work now?”
James laughed lightly. “Of course. I will leave you to it.” He turned away and moved to the portrait entrance. Before he left, he looked behind her and she was immersed in her work. He gave a soft chuckle and left their common room.
