30th April 1976

"I'm telling you that it's a stupid idea..." Beth mumbled to her brother. She wasn't sure how she found herself in this situation. She was sitting drinking beer on the astronomy tower, hearing about his great idea about some prank. "Probably the worst idea you ever had..."

"I have to agree with your sister, Potter." Sirius nodded. "And I'm doing it with a great despite..."

"Shut up, Black." She smiled but then quickly realized that she hated him. "Jamie, come on, you know it's stupid. Remus? Say something."

"Ow, so you want him to agree with you, but when I agree you want me to shut up?" Padfoot looked at the girl with surprise. "Women."

"I always want you to shut up." She talked back. "This way we can avoid hearing your stupid ideas."

"Fuck you, Potter."

"You wish." She raised her eyebrows and smiled teasingly.

"Oh, be careful or..." He moved closer.

"Get a room." Peter laughed before kissing Rachel's cheek. The blonde wasn't even angry at spending time with them. She liked Peter he made

"No!" James stood up. "No room for you two."

"Come on, man." Black rolled his eyes and put his arm around the girl. "We're just fooling around."

"No fooling around with my sister." Potter sat again.

"Get your arm off me..." Beth groaned. "Jamie, I'm telling you it's a terrible idea."

"Yes, it is." Remus nodded.

"It's not!" James snapped. "It's the best plan I had in years!"

"You're an idiot." The tiny brunette opened up another can of beer. "Don't do it."

"Yeah, James. As your best..."

"Ehem!" Remus caught. "I thought we don't play favourites in this friendship."

"Came down, Moony." Potter chuckled. "You're both my best friends."

"What about me?" Peter snapped.

"Have you ever noticed how short Beth is?" Sirius said talking a sip of beer. "You are so short, Beth."

"I think you had enough of this..."  Beth took his can away. "One more and you gonna make out with Remus and then pass out."

"Hey!" He looked at the brunette. "Since when do you care about me making and passing out?"

"You're right." She handed him a beer back. "I don't care about you."

"What are you doing here anyway?" He looked at her. "Shouldn't you be somewhere, doing something?"

"We're all here for the same reason." She explained. "We're here to don't let Jamie make an idiot of himself."

"He can't make an idiot of himself," Remus said. "He's already an idiot, he can just let more people know that he's an idiot."

"I'm not an idiot!"

"Yes, you are." Everybody laughed.

"Okay, but see..." James stood up again almost spilling beer on himself, he looked at everyone. Sirius. Beth. Remus. Peter. Rachel. "Where is Lily?"

"Where the hell is Dorcas?" Sirius finally noticed that the girl was no longer sitting next to him. "Wait. Are we and Dorcas date now?"

"No, moron." Remus groaned. "She dumped you again after she found out you made out Mary Jane last week."

"Oh... Right."

"You're disgusting..." Beth rolled her eyes.

"Yes, he is." Lupin agreed and stood next to older Potter. "Come on, mate. Let's get you to bed..."

"Ow, Moony!" Jamie put his arm around his friend and kissed his cheek. "I really love you..."

"Idiots..." Rachel laughed and pulled Peter's sleeve. "Do you want to get me to bed?"

"You're daddy wouldn't approve it." Beth teased her.

"Fuck you, Potter." Cole snapped back and pulled the boy towards the exit.

"Just use protection!" Sirius screamed after them making Elizabeth giggle like a little girl. "So, Potter?"

"What do you want, Black?" She raised her eyebrow in astonishment.

"You look lovely tonight." He smiled.

"Thank you." She rested her head on his shoulder and looked at the sky.

"How are you?" He asked not having an idea for a better question.

"I'm great." She laughed. "How are you? Dorcas is really pissed at you this time..."

"Yeah... I should apologise, shouldn't I?" He asked her.

"I'm not exactly the relationship expert." She giggled and lit the cigarette. "I just... Hang around with guys. It's easier."

"It was easier before Dorcas decided that our relationship is serious." He put back of her head lightly as laughed at the last word. "I like her, but when James talks about Lily and love and all that crap. I don't feel that. I don't love her."

"But she wants you to love her, doesn't she?" The girl gave her cigarette to him before adding.   ironically. "Everybody wants to fall in love and live happily ever after.

"I don't want that. Why would I?" He agreed. "Okay, maybe having a family and shit is great, but not for me. Look at me, Beth. Am I look like a husband-dad type?"

"Absolutely not." She chuckled.

"I really like Dorcas, she's a perfect girl, trust me. I'm supposed to love her. Everyone thinks that... That we'll eventually work things out and end up together." He singed. "She wants to get married one day. And getting married is the last thing I want. I just... I just want something easy, something fun."

"Than find a girl that doesn't mean want to get married either." She looked into his grey eyes intensively. He knew that Potter was hot, but he couldn't help but how good she looked with red lipstick on. He shouldn't be thinking that. She was his best friend's little sister and he had a girlfriend... Kind of. She bit her lip having the same thought in the mind. Oh, Merlin. He stood up way to quickly and he put his arm around her to avoid falling over his own feet.

"Merlin, I'm so drunk." He laughed to her.

"Put your shit together, Black." She laughed. "We end up drunk together way too often."

"I don't mind that..." He looked at her perfectly shaped red lips. He really tried not to think about her lips, but he just couldn't help but wonder how her lips would feel under his own. "I..."

"Shut up, Black." Beth stopped him. "Do you wanna go to sleep already?"

"Nah, I want to stay here just a bit longer." The boy smiled and sat down again. Elizabeth almost turned around and left, but for some reason, she crouched next to him. "You're staying?"

"I have nothing else to do..." She grinned and once again rested her head on his shoulder.

"Since when do we sit around at night and not argue?" He raised his eyebrow.

"We can argue if you want." She laughed.

"Nah, it's fine..."
