Reggie and I walk over to the drink table and get some punch when I am grabbed by my arm. I spin so quickly and almost punch the person in the face,

"Woah chill darling," Marls says and I lower my hand back to my side. In the corner of my eye, I see Sirius tilt his head to the side and Regulus walks over to him.

"Care to fill us in on why you know the Slytherin Prince?" Mary sasses from beside her new Alice and Lily joins them, "Or are you keeping that a secret too?" I wince at the comment but sigh and nod. Dodging people and making our way through the crowd to the back patio before I sigh and turn to face the girls, My girls, I think.

"I didn't mean to keep it a secret," I whisper looking at the ground,

"Which part?" Alice says in a voice full of hurt and doesn't have her normal gentle undertone,

"The part about my parents never came up so why bother with it," I shrug before continuing, "I didn't tell you on purpose because that's what Reg wanted," All sorrow is gone when I talk about Reg because he made me promise not to tell anyone.

"We could have helped," Marlene argues crossing her arms over her chest and everyone agrees including Lily,

"Help me what? Mourn the death of someone who I mourned years ago?" I say sarcastically rolling my eyes,

"Does Black know?" Marls continues to press further,

"No! No one knew! That is how I like it, I don't like the pity looks I'm getting in fact I hate them! People treat you differently when they know," I yell most of it which shocked them and whisper the last bit, "Just promise you won't treat me differently I'm still the same person that was singing Dancing Queen earlier," I joke,

"Are you sure?" Alice asks her tone back to her gentle side I love,

"Yes, I'm sure. None of you change ok? You are just how I need you," I admit and suddenly I'm engulfed in a group hug, "No crying ladies we still have Purebloods to piss off," I say and everyone snaps up with smiles on their faces,

"Yes finally!" Marls yells and runs inside to get in her spot. The other runs after her just as quickly and I run inside and try to spot my favourite werewolf. When I finally spot him in the corner with the other Marauders and Regulus, I run over.

"REMMMMYYYYY!" I yell making all five boys look at me but I'm just looking at Remus who is looking at me with confusion written all over his face, "I have an important question Remus John Lupin," I say seriously looking him dead in the eyes. I see his eyes flick worriedly to the others and then back at me,

"Yes, Lia my favourite friend?" He says worriedly,

"Hey!?" The other 3 call sounding jokingly offended, slowly a smirk overcomes my face,

"Do you Remus John Lupin know the Nutbush?" I ask smiling and Remus lets out a breath he was obviously holding,

"Yeah my dad taught me last year when he came back from Austral-" He starts to answer but I got my answer right at the start. I grab him by his tie, hold it over my shoulder and march towards the girls with a smile on my face when I see Lily whisper the song to the music box.

"What's a nutbush?!" Sirius and James call out after us. I got in the line next to Lily and Remus was beside me,

"What are we doing Lia?" Remit whispers and I just laugh,

"Go along with it pleaseee?" I beg and face him with my puppy eyes that none of my friends could say no to. He lets out a silent laugh and nods just as the Nutbush starts playing. We all dance along after the fourth round Sirius and James join in laughing at each other's mistakes. Soon enough the whole dance floor is covered in Purebloods copying what we are doing. Once the song comes to an end the girls and I walk to the front and bow dramatically before I speak,
