Let's get this party started!
It was 9pm and the party was about to begin. Students were meeting and waiting in groups in front of the Gryffindor Common Room, knocking on the portrait of the Fat Lady. Finally, Lily came to open the portrait for everyone to enter. Regulus was at the end of the line, somehow looking like he didn’t wanna be there, probably already regretting to have accepted to come. Barty, Evan, Pandora and Dorcas were with him, Pandora whispering something in his ear.
Lily smiled at him, exchanging some news with him as they studied together sometimes, and let them in the Common Room which was already full of people. Regulus was wearing simple black jeans and a Pink Floyd T-shirt that Barty insisted underlined his muscles, and “perfectly round and bumped ass” and made him look “rebel and charming at the same time” as well as “showed he had good tastes in music”. He was also wearing, at the surprise of everyone present, some eyeliner and kohl under his eyes, courtesy from Dorcas, looking even hotter than usual as the dark touch added a mysterious look to his usually serious and calm demeanor. A lot of people, girls and boys, were looking at him with a hungry look. Finally, they got to where Sirius and the rest of the Marauders were hanging out. “Hi Siri” Sirius turned to him and open his mouth to talk when he noticed Regulus’ appearance. James was also staring (a bit too intently if you want my opinion) at Regulus. Sirius was the first one to speak. “Hi Reg, well, you look… different. I didn’t know you could wear eyeliner.” Sirius was smirking madly. “Following your big brother’s step, are you? And you’re wearing jeans???? AND a Muggle shirt???” Regulus rolled his eyes, but he looked at his friends fondly. “Yeah well, you can thank Dorcas and Barty for that, huh?” he said as turned his hand toward them. Sirius smiled at them “Hi, I’m Sirius, Reg’s big brother!” Regulus answered for them: “They’re my friends, Pandora, Dorcas, Barty and Evan.” “Nice to meet you guys, I didn’t know Regulus had friends, and even more, girl friends!” he said as he wiggled his eyebrows to Regulus. “Wait, Dorcas, as in Dorcas Meadows? In our year?” Dorcas looked at him with a weird look in her eyes “Yes?” Sirius looked ecstatic and turned around “McKinnon, get your ass over here!” A tall blond girl came through the crowd looking already pretty wasted. “What do you want Black?” “I’ve go a surprise for you McKinnon, on a silver platter” said a smirking Sirius. When they saw the girl arrive, the Slytherins looked at each other with widening smile, while Dorcas was becoming redder. When Marlene McKinnon saw Dorcas, her face also took a delicate shade of red. She stammered “Um… hi Dorcas” “Hey McKinnon, how is it going?” “Good, good… what about you?”
Meanwhile, Regulus shrugged, leaving his friend to deal with her lifetime’s crush, then he looked at James who seemed to be still staring at him, and quite intently. “When you’re done staring Potter, you can actually tell me what the fuck you think you’re staring at.” James came back to reality, blushing furiously, taken aback by the fact the Regulus noticed him staring, and called him out for it. He mumbled something about being drunk and went to turn on the music, blasting Muggle Rock even louder in the Common Room, thanking the silencing spells that were put up by Lily and Remus earlier. Regulus and Sirius looked at him strangely, wondering what got into him, then looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Then Regulus turned to Sirius: “So, Sirius, any girlfriend? Or boyfriend even?” he was now smirking at Sirius’ blushing face. He then turned to Remus with an even bigger smile: “Aren’t you two together anyway?” He was more than smirking now, sporting a self-satisfied grin. He turned towards James “Do you know anything about this Potter? As your guys are living together 24/7 you must know something, hear some things you don’t want, no?” James grinned in return, shaking his head, and both of them were now staring at Remus and Sirius who were both blushing and were redder than the Gryffindor Common Room. “I don’t know anything in particular but I’d rather say that I strongly suspect something.” Regulus answered: “Yeah I think it’s definitely more than suspicion.” He sounded so casual about it that James was pushed to ask him: “You don’t care talking about your brother’s dating life and even more so that he would date a boy?” Regulus rose an eyebrow. “Well given the fact that I myself does date boys, and. not only, I can’t say I have anything to say about it. And as you probably know cause you live with him, Sirius talks enough about his dating life and unfortunately his sexual dating life so I have no problem talking about that.” Remus and James choked when they heard that as Regulus just glared at Sirius whom himself smiled smugly. “Well, what were you expecting, I told exactly him what I told you guys, maybe more detailed sometimes. But he didn’t tell me anything.” He looked upset now: “What did you mean by ‘not only’ Reg? I thought you didn’t even date?? You’re too young for it!” Regulus sneered “You’re not my mother Sirius! I already have a useless one, I don’t another annoying one! You don’t decide if I can date or not, I already told a hundred times! And what I do with my sex life is none of your business!!” When he realized what he said, Remus seemed shocked “Wait, you’re gay? But I never saw you with anyone?” “Well yes I am, but I don’t scream it on roofs like some other people” he said while rolling his eyes. Now it was James’ turn to look shocked “Wait, you said sex life!! You had boyfriends? Emphasize on the ‘s’!” Regulus looked annoyed at this: “Well I don’t know how this is any of your business Potter, but yes, I did. And if I was to give names, you would all be rather surprised. But I won’t.” Everyone was staring at him. “What?” asked Regulus. Remus seemed to be speaking cautiously “Well, you are not what we thought you -a Slytherin- would be.” “I’m not really sure what this is supposed to mean.” “Well apparently, your parents are really horrible and not… tolerant at all. So I’m surprised that you’re wearing this outfit, this make-up and well, that you’re gay and kind of open about it? Around your very Pureblood and traditional friends.” Regulus smiled “Yeah, well they don’t know anything about it. I prefer not to imagine their reaction if they were seeing me right now, and knowing that I’m gay. They’d probably prefer seeing me dead. Or would Crucio the gay out of me.” He seemed to wince at the thought of what his parents would do, which Sirius noticed guiltily and James worriedly. Then Regulus seemed to realize what he just said. “Well, let’s enjoy the party guys, we are here for it, no?” Sirius seemed really surprised that Regulus wanted to enjoy a party. He went toward the drink’s table, getting each of his fiend a different, as if he knew their preference. He got a Gin tonic for Pandora, straight vodka for Barty while Evan preferred Tequila, and Dorcas, well she seemed to have disappeared somewhere with Marlene. He made a mix of several different alcohols for himself. He joined his friends giving them their drinks, and they chatted around, laughing, staying among themselves. Soon enough, Barty went to make them his “special cocktail”, which was in fact a mix of the strongest alcohol he could find. As they drank it, everyone made the most disgusted face, asking him how he could drink this with a straight face. He was getting kinda touchy with Regulus who didn’t seem to mind. Evan was laying with his head on his legs.
The Marauders were also enjoying their night, in a more wild and noisy way, and soon they were very drunk. Sirius looked at Regulus from far away. He hadn’t notice that his brother had already had some dinks. He then looked at James: “Prongs, what do you think about a bet?” he was grinning wildly. “What do you have in mind?” “Well, we should make Regulus and Moony drink and we will see which one of them is the more ‘resistant’.” James joined him in grinning foolishly. “I’m betting on Regulus staying sober.” “What! I’m betting on Remus!! I’m sure poor little Reggie never touched a drop of alcohol in his life.” Sirius looked offended that James could think his brother got drunk regularly and would be used to drinking alcohol. “Well, the bet is one Pads. 5 Galleons Reg will be the last one up.” “10 Galleons Remus will.” They clapped their hands, got a Firewhiskey bottle and walked towards Regulus and Remus who seemed to have meet up next to the record player and were apparently in a heated discussion about what record to play.
“Well hello, guys,” Sirius said, “what would think about a little drink?” Both boys glared at them and get back to their argument. “No Remus, you should always play Bowie when people are drunk! It’s how we feel the lyrics!” “No Reg, it’s Pink Floyd that you play when you’re drunk!!” “Of course not, you should play it when you’re getting high, obviously, everyone knows that, even Barty!” “Oi!” came the muted voice of Barty from somewhere on the ground.
Sirius and James were too drunk to understand what they were saying, so instead, they whined “Come on! We made a bet, let’s see who can drink the most without getting wasted!” They both rolled their eyes and Regulus spoke. “Well, let’s see which one of us can drink the most, no? The first one who finishes a glass of it.” James and Sirius grinned, and Remus shook his eyes desperately. “Hey wait up” came from Barty’s voice, “we wanna participate too!” Sirius looked annoyed “You’re kind trash Crouch so of course you’re gonna win.” Regulus turned his head sharply to him: “Don’t insult my friends Sirius or I’m leaving.” Sirius became quiet, grumbling while James summoned glasses and filled them, giving everyone a shot. “Everyone’s ready? Go!” Remus managed to drink a half of his glass, Sirius and James a third of it and Regulus was the most surprising as he downed his glass rather rapidly and looked as if it had no effect on him. Bart had one the same, as Evan who had just a small leftover. Sirius and James were staring at him, their mouth opened in shock. Regulus asked innocently “Well, who won the bet?” James raised his hand, too shocked to talk. “Well Reg, I didn’t know you could hold your alcohol like that” said Sirius. Regulus just shrugged “Well you know, we have some pretty damn wicked parties in our Common Room.” Then, he retrieved his cigarette pack from his pocket as well as his lighter and nonchalantly light a cigarette, blowing the smoke towards the ceiling. He handed the pack to Barty who also got one. “So, what about a game, guys?” James asked “What kind of game?” asked someone. “I don’t know, truth or dare, something like that. Now, it’s late enough in the party so that only the best people are left.” It was 2am. James got up and yelled to the room “Who’s up for a game of truth or dare?” Almost everyone that was left in the room looked interested; and soon, a circle was made in the room. As the first person was choosing Truth, Regulus yelled “V-Shot!” and he summoned shot glasses and a small vial with something looking like water inside. “What’s that?” asked the girl who chose truth. “That,” Regulus said, “is Veritaserum. And we will all take shots. It will spice things up. And don’t worry guys, this will only last like 1 or 2 hours.” While everyone downed the shot, Sirius turned towards Regulus, puzzled, almost dejected “I thought you hated parties!” “Yes, I do. I hate bad parties which are most of them. But when they’re good, like in our house, I always go.” Barty and Evan seemed to be silently approving. “I see.”
Soon, it was Sirius’ turn. “Reg! Truth or Dare?” Regulus sighed. “Dare.” Sirius laughed and he summoned something from his room. “Put this on.” ‘This’ was in fact Sirius’ oldest Metallica t-shirt. It was covered in holes, and moreover, it was a shirt Regulus always refused to wear no matter how much Sirius could beg. Regulus glared at Sirius and then, a mischievous glint light his eyes. Instead of changing in the bathroom, he got up and took his shirt off slowly, as if doing some kind of strip tease show. He revealed his flat tummy and muscled abs as. If dancing on a slow beat. It also revealed a pierced belly button and even some tattoos such as the Leo constellation and the Canis Major one on either side of his belly button. Everyone was gaping at the hypnotizing vision. Barty and Evan were drooling. The Girls were drooling. The guys were drooling. He put the new shirt then he sat back as if nothing happened. Sirius looked almost proud but also incredibly annoyed by the “sexy” display from his brother. And James was staring again, also drooling, even if he would never admit it. “See anything you like?” Regulus asked around. James turned crimson and looked away. Then Regulus continued to play as if nothing happened. “Sirius.” The latter looked at Regulus confidently. “Dare.” Regulus neutral expression turned into an evil grin and Sirius realized he would not get off this easily. “Sirius, I dare you to kiss Remus.” Everyone gasped. Sirius and Remus both turned red. Then, everyone was clapping and encouraging them, especially James and finally, Sirius kissed Remus. His lips were soft, he smelled like chocolate and old books, enticing. His hand was in Remus hair, touching the soft sandy curls, feeling Remus’ stubble again his face. Remus had his hand against his neck, almost possessively. They quickly pulled apart, quite flustered, looking anywhere but at each other.
The game continued, people did stupid things, kissed random people, drank and answered personal questions. Then it was Lily’s turn. “James.” The mischievous gleam in her eyes worried him very much. “Dare?” Lily grinned madly. “I dare you to take off your clothes.” James blushed: “What do you mean my clothes? My shirt??” “All of them except your boxers” she said in a sing song voice. There were murmurs in the room, all the girls looking excited, and finally James started to take off his clothes, to stand in only his boxer, acting as if nothing happened. “McKinnon.” “Truth” “With who in this room have you already made out?” Marlene blushed slightly and answered smugly “Mary, Dorcas and Lily.” Again, it raised murmurs in the room which were broken by Marlene’s voice. “Regulus.” Everyone felt silent, wondering what she would be asking him. Regulus seemed to be thinking and finally he said “Dare” in an uncertain tone. Marlen smiled evilly. “I dare you to kiss the person you find most attractive.” Regulus smiled slightly shakinig his head. Then he turned toward Barty and proceeded to make out wildly with him, straddling him. Barty’s hands were everywhere, mussing Regulus’ hair up. Then he turned to Evan and also made out quite violently with him. Pandora and Dorcas, who had mysteriously came back, were shaking their head fondly. Sirius looked on the verge of murder. James didn’t really know what to do.
Regulus sat back and looked at Marlene with a smug smirk, arranging himself, while Barty and Evan sat very close (Sirius would say too close) to him, on each of his side. She was looking him with wide eyes, and she wasn’t the only one; everyone was shocked. Sirius wasn’t far behind as he just witnessed his brother snog his 2 best friends senseless. He didn’t even know he was gay until tonight!! “Can someone tell me what just happened?” Regulus looked at him and rolled his eyes “Aren’t you listening? It was my dare you twat!” There was another silence and then Marlene asked the 2 boys “so, how was it?? Is he a good kisser as the rumors say??!” At that question, all the girls turned towards them, listening intently, as interested as her in the answer. Regulus turned red and Sirius looked proud. Bart and Evan were smiling and Barty answered “Of course, we don’t lose our time with bad kissers, or bad lovers for that matter.” HE was smirking, looking Sirius in the eyes when he said this. Regulus was sporting an amused smirk, rolling his eyes, while all the girls were in awe and eyeing Regulus with interest. Sirius was, well… it’s hard to describe. He just heard his brother’s best friends say that his brother was a good kisser and imply that he was good in bed. He quite literally wanted to slowly murder Barty and Evan and feed their rest to lions. Seeing the expression of all his friends, Remus burst out laughing and when he crossed eyes with Regulus, he began to laugh even more. “Well Regulus, your turn!” Regulus then had a the most vindicative smirk on his face. “Lupin. Truth or dare?” Remus immediately sobered up and his smile disappeared. He seemed to be hesitating and finally he said “Truth?” Regulus’ smirk grew even wider. “What do you think of my dear brother?” Remus opened his eyes wide and he blushed. Sirius looked at him hopefully. “Um, well, I… What do you mean by that?” Remus was trying to buy time as he really didn’t want to say what he really felt towards Sirius. He couldn’t risk it. Regulus sighed exasperated. “Well, do you find attractive, do you like him, stuff like that.”
