[James Sirius Potter]

James smiled and said "I will try and get up." He then listened to what Zane was saying about the 6th years and blushed slightly "what... Bu...But" was all he could say "thanks for the heads up." He turned away trying not to show his embarrassment to the others.

[Zane Lestrange]

"You just wait until the next Quidditch match, just try and concentrate on your flying," he laughed as he said this. The sixth years had been making a giant poster with a picture of James on it, when Zane had walked into the common room. Instead of trying to hide their artwork, they took pride in showing Zane what they had created. But of course they had sworn him to secrecy, after all it was going to be a big surprise. James might even fall off his broomstick when he sees it. Zane smiled a smile that portrayed him being in on a great secret, one that of course, would annoy James.

[Teddy Lupin]

Ted boomed with laughter as he looked at James bewildered expression. "I think one of the sixth years picked up a History of Magic for once, and got to the part where they explained you Dad being the Chosen One. So, your the Chosen One's son, that's pretty up there." Ted said, barely managing his laugh. "Thank god for this hair." He said, waving a hand over it, shaking his head. Half the girls found it creepy, others found it attractive, and then there were the ones who completely ignored it and treated him as a normal person. But those people were a dying breed. At the mention of the Firewhiskey, a small grin formed on Ted's face. He did ienjoy his spot of Firewhiskey. "Don't tell Rose though, she'll have a fit. Especially at me, I'm not sure why, but she get's extremely mad when I get pissed." he whispered, looking over at her with a soft smile.

[James Sirius Potter]

James` blush was now the colour of strawberry. He looked at zane confused "Just tell me now so that I don`t fall off." he said to Zane. He heard Teddy boom with laughter and scowled slightly "Why would 6th years read that book? I didn`t even know that my dad was in there. And don`t worry Ted I won`t tell Rosie as long as you don`t tell my parents."

[Zane Lestrange]

"No sorry they swore me to secrecy and I wouldn't want to spoil their big plan. Besides, you're a good enough flier not to fall off your broom when you get surprised..." Zane listened carefully as they talked about a History of Magic. "Your Dad is in nearly all of the books for the last two decades at least, Hogwarts a History second edition, The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts and books like that. The Malfoys how got at least three copies of that last one. Lucius tried to pursuade me to read it once before I turned into the family traitor... anyway, I won't tell them so the secret's safe, right?"

[James Sirius Potter]

James scowled feeling slightly apprehensive about their next Quidditch match. He smiled at the mention of his father. "Well maybe they have made the connection, took them long enough." he laughed and smiled at Teddy and Zane and said "Ok the firewhiskey is by my bed. I got it a few days ago from a friend. How about we head there with a quick detour to the kitchens for some cake."

[Zane Lestrange]

"Sounds like a plan," Zane said with the mention of a detour to collect the firewiskey. He headed off towards the castle, assuming that Ted and James were following. He paused as he reached the main doors, checking over his should, to make sure his friends were not standing gormlessly by the tree. Of course not, they were only a few footsteps behind. "Watch out for prefects!" he whispered before stepping quietly into the entrance hall.

[James Sirius Potter]

James followed Zane and said "We don't have to worry." and produced the marauders map "Though I wish dad gave me the cloak as well instead of giving it to Al." He muttered the words "I sollumly swear that I am up to no good" and the map materialised. He looked round and said "route to the kitchens is clear."

[Teddy Lupin]

Ted followed his friends down the corridor, looking at the Marauders Map as it materialize. It was weird, seeing his dad's handy work all the time. He wondered how he created it, and wished he were alive so that Ted could make his own, not always having to steal from James. As James told him the close was clear, Ted took the lead towards the Kitchen, tickling the pear quickly as the portrait opened, ushering his friends into it. Now this would be a fun night, getting pissed with his two best friends. It was nights like this Ted always enjoyed.

[James Sirius Potter]

James smiled and followed Teddy into the kitchen getting some party food and then led them both back to the dorm and got the firewhiskey out from under his bed. He opened it and poured some into the glasses and handed them to Zane and Teddy and took the third one for himself "Well I think a toast is in order," he said smiling "To our acceptances and may we be the best in our chosen fields." he raised his glass and said "To the future."

[Zane Lestrange]

Zane grinned as he accepted the glass from James. Hmm firewiskey. We really should do this more often, especially because there is no chance of us getting caught. Shame we don't have the cloak though, maybe I could convince Albus to let us borrow it every once in a while? He glanced out of the window staring at the sky and the bright stars before turning his attention back to James. "To the future," he said raising his glass with James.

[Teddy Lupin]

Ted smacked his lips together in anticipation. One thing Ted loved more then chocolate was firewhiskey. Yeah, he was going to have a problem with it when he was of age, but for now, he would just enjoy a bit of fun. "To the future!" Ted beamed and downed his glass in less the a few seconds. He placed it on the floor and grinned at his friends.

[James Sirius Potter]

James smiled at Teddy and drank deeply finishing the glass. He felt the fire sear down his throat and smiled "Good stuff." he said re-filling his and Teddy's glasses.

[Teddy Lupin]

Ted nodded eagerly as he watched James refill his cup. He took another swing and finished it, taking the bottle from James and pouring himself another four cups while James and Zane finished of theirs. it was at that point he began to feel quite tipsy. "Man.. I loves this.. dis Firewhiskey. We gots to get more of dis stuff. But you know.. but you know what I love moooooooore then dis stuff? I loves Rosie. You know disssssss much!" he said throwing his arms, emphasizing his point. He hiccuped and laughed. "Guys, you needs girls. Likes me. James, I tinks dat girl, that girl uhh, whats her name.. from Hufflepuff.. or maybe it was Ravenclaws, I don't know, but she likes you. Yah. Yah. And and and Zane! Zane, you gots to go out with Lily. 'Cause she likes you lots." Ted hiccuped again and then covered his mouth. He already had had too much, completely forgetting that he swore to secrecy.

[James Sirius Potter]

James had drunk another glassfull of firewhisky but he was still in control of himself unlike Teddy. It was always really funny to see Teddy pissed. He smiled at him when he was talking about a girl and said "Do you mean Zoey?" he scowled slightly when Teddy talked about Lily and muttered "Teddy you idiot," but it was too late to take it back now.
