1.6 | more parties and more sleep

Rosie's POV:

Ky, Em, and surprisingly, Lucius, joined us in Potter Manor. James reaction was absolutely priceless. He stared at Lucius for a full minute before jumping into his arms. It was adorable.

Anyway, we were relaxing in the living room. I was laying awkwardly, half of the couch, watching James and Lucius cuddle. "Guys." I said suddenly, rolling off the couch and onto the carpet. "Yeah?" Sirius asked from Remus' lap. "We should go clubbing!" I exclaimed grinning. "Yes!" Em agreed enthusiastically. "I'll invite Sev, and Reg, and we can go clubbing! It'll be fun." I insisted. "But how are we supposed to get in? Only you have your I.D." Sirius asked with a raised brow. "I have a friend, who has a cousin, who has a gardener, who has a niece, and she's all about the party life. Anyway, everyday, there's a party." "Or we could host a party." James suggested. "That works too." I agreed shrugging. "Great! Pip! Kip!" Two little house elves appeared. "Yes Master James?" Kip squeaked. "Get the manor in party mode." "Party mode?" Lucius asked, staring amusedly at his boyfriend. "Duh!" "Great! I'll do the invites!"

I scrambled up to my room and grabbed several pieces of parchment. "Ky, help me on these will ya." I threw her some parchment and she quickly started scribbling down names. "Diddy!" Another little elf appeared. "Yes Master James?" "Can you get my quills please." "Yes Master James!" He came back a second later with a box of quills. "We should write one copy, without the persons name, and then duplicate them and write the names on." Ky said as she picked up one of the quills. "Okay." "Hey, this can be a birthday party for you Rosie, since it's only two days after!" James suggested. Did I mention that? Yeah, well, I got lots of stuff, yada yada ya, and I spent the day with my friends.

"Dear (blank space),

You are invited to attend a last minute party at Potter Manor. This also serves as a birthday party for Rosie Evans, seventh year Gryffindor. Party starts at six o'clock. You can bring friends if you chose!

Hope to see you there,

James Potter, Rosie Evans, Kylie Plait, Emma Evergreen, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Lucius Malfoy."

After that, we duplicated the parchment, and had, many copies. "Okay, Rosie, you do Gryffindors, Luc, you do Slytherins, Sirius, you do Hufflepuffs, Remus you do Ravenclaw. Ky, Em, come with me. Let's go decorate a ball room." James commanded.

"Let's see." I said roughly forty five minutes later. "I have Gid, Fab, Brown, Finnigan, Longbottom, Pretwett, Molly, King, Pettigrew, not that I wanted him, Hart, Terrence, Boot, Bones, Abbot, Nightingale, cause we can do body shots with her, Haile, and Diggory." "I have most of the pure bloods, Sev, and Reg, but I didn't add Narcissa and her friends." "Good." "I have all the girls I fucked." Sirius said. He yelped when Remus pulled him onto his lap and bit down on his neck. "I got some people from Ravenclaw. It will probably spread though, like always."

We sent the invitations using lots of owls, then we went to the ball room. It looked beautiful. Streamers hanging from the balcony's, and a big banner saying, "happy 17th birthday Rosie <3". Food was lined down tables, chairs were sat around circular tables. "Hey babe!" James said as he saw us. "Hi Jamie." He replied as he kissed his head. "Jeez you've been away from each other for what, an hour?" Em teased, smiling fondly at the couple. James stuck his tongue out. "Jealous cause your man ain't here?" He asked innocently. "Prat." "Okay people, we have three hours 'till the party and we have to get ready!"

-Line Break-

Three hours later, we were down in the ball room welcoming in guests. I was in a some bell bottoms, a red patterned shirt, and these cute as heck platforms that I just adored!

At about nine, the party was in full swing. I was dancing with Gideon and Fabian, Em was with her boyfriend, as was Ky. James had disappeared with Lucius, and Sirius and Remus were snogging.

"Guys!" I slurred drunkenly. "Look! Rebecca Nightingale is doing body shots! Let's go!" I dragged the boys over to Rebecca, a brown haired, blue eyed girl, who was laying on a table, barely dressed, as people licked her body then poured salt over it and took a shot. "Hey Rosie!" She greeted as she saw us coming over. "Hey Rebecca. Are you doing body shots?" "Yeah. Amos Diggory talked me into doing it." "Cool!" Fab said drunkenly. Before I could actually play, I saw Sev and Reg. "I'll be back!" I yelled over the blasting music. "Okay!"

"Hey Sev! Hey Reg!" I exclaimed as I hugged them tightly. "Hey Rosie. How are you?" Reg asked, swishing the liquid in his plastic red cup around. "Good. How's your guys summers been so far?" "Fi-," "oh yeah! Rosie, I forgot to tell you. So, you know how my mother was like, crazy as hell?" I nodded as I leaned against Reg. "Yeah, I remember Sev." "Well, apparently, her maiden name is Prince." Reg sucked in a breath. "The Prince's are an old pure blood family. They're really rich and stuff." "Yeah, anyway, I went to Gringotts to get an Inheritance test, and now, I'm Lord Prince." "Yes Sev!" I pulled him into a hug. "I'm happy for you." "So, anyway, continuing on, I brought an apartment in London, right by the Leaky Cauldron. I turned the basement into my lab." "Nice." I replied nodding. "I'll swing by some time." "Thanks." "I'll be doing body shots if you need me!" "Okay. Bye!"

I stumbled back over to my friends, and the night commenced. It was filled with dancing, alcohol and music. At about one, I walked tipsily back over to Sev and Reg. "Hey boo!" I slurred as I leaned on Reg. "Little drunk, Rosie?" He asked amusedly. "What?! Me?! Psh, nevvverrr!" He laughed and swept me off my feet, bridal style. "Where's your bedroom?" "Huh?" "Your bedroom. Where is it?" "Upstairs." I relied groggily. "Okay. Come on." "Wait! Sev! Comeeee!" I grabbed his hand. "Oh fine."

I directed Reg to my room, Sev following. "This one!" He put me down, and I opened my room. "Sev." "Yeah?" "Can you undo the zip?" I turned around and he undid the zipper on my dress. It fell to the floor, and I simply opened the wardrobe to find a big t-shirt I may have stolen from Sirius. "Sleep with me." I muttered as I fell onto the bed. "Okay." Sev said as he took goff his hoodie. Reg nodded awkwardly and laid down next to me. I snuggled into him (keeping in mind that I was drunk), and Sev snuggled into my other side. "Goodnight." "Night." "Nighty Night!."
