"Tinker Bell," James whispered.

Faeryn groaned and shifted in her spot, James breath hitched. Stop moving, stop moving, stop moving.

"Hey, Faeryn! Wake up you dumbass." Remus yelled from his seat.

Faeryn jumped up with wide eyes, "Sorry!" she cradled her head.

"Er, someone's waiting for you," Sirius laughed.

Faeryn snapped her head up to look at Marlene and Lily grinning at her through the glass.

Faeryn popped up in her seat, pressing a kiss to Remus' cheek, "See you in a week," and she turned and slid open the door.

"Bye, boys!" she called over her shoulder, and the three girls went to join Mary on the platform laughing and smiling as Lily retold what happened during the train ride with a red face.

All four Gryffindor girls would be spending the first week of summer vacation at Marlene's house, and then Faeryn would be going to spend the rest of the break at the Potters.

The girls had planned to ask Marlene's older brother Danny to take them to a muggle concert, which Mary was incredibly excited for, being a pureblood and all.

Marlene had been to multiple concerts over the years, Danny had a weird obsession with going to them, and Marls always found a way to convince him to take her. She was incredibly excited to go with her friends.

Lily had gone to a small number of concerts with her sister Petunia, but she confirmed that they were not fun at all, and quite boring. Though it was most definitely Petunia's pick of bands.

Faeryn hadn't gone to a concert since she was nine when she had been friends with a muggle girl named Jessie who lived in her neighborhood. Jessie's mom had offered to take Remus and Fae to a concert over the weekend, only Faeryn was allowed to go. Lyall didn't want Remus going to something so 'girly'.

Lyall banned her from being friends with Jess after that.

Faeryn's only friend was Remus.

And now she was going to a concert with three of her best friends.

Fuck you, Lyall.

"We come from the land of the ice and snow—!

From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow—!

How soft your fields so green,"

Only Faeryn and Marlene knew the words. But Lily and Mary were still jumping up and down, bobbing their heads to the music.

Faeryn knew almost every song the band had played, from Sirius of course. Marlene from Danny, who would force her to spend every free moment during breaks listening to his favorite bands, though she didn't mind.

Danny had ventured off somewhere into the crowd, Faeryn and Marlene had smuggled in some firewhiskey, which was quite easy considering they were witches going against muggles.

Faeryn was thriving under the heat of alcohol, Mary was practically falling over her feet. Lily had surprisingly been drinking consistently through the night, her vision beginning to blur and her thoughts beginning to merge.

Marlene and Faeryn were grabbing onto each other's arms, pulling each other up and down into a drunken jump, stumbling around in the thick crowds of stoned and buzzed muggles.
