"i hope its okay that i asked brandon to come" astoria says and i turn to her "why would you invite brandon" i laugh. "he's funny. i know that he likes you and you're with draco but i just wanted him as company" she says and i sihg, i can't tell her no. "its fine. is he going to be here soon, draco should be" i say and she nods. its as if they heard us talking when there is a knock on the door. "come on" i say as i start to pur everyone drinks. i told astoria i wasnt getting dressed up so i just put on my pants and draco's shirt that i still haven't returned.

"hey, astoria" pansy says as she walks in and astoria smiles "thanks for coming. i told liz she didnt have to do this" she shrugs and i laugh. "i think its a good idea" pansy says as she sits down on the floor. "drink" i ask and she nods. i pass her a cup and the door opens. draco walks in, seems like he had the same idea i had. he's wearing his usual green pajama pants without a shirt. "hey" he says as he sits on my bed "drink" i ask and he nods, sticking his hand out.

"brandon, you're here" i hear astoria's voice excitedly say and draco looks at me. "sorry" i mouth and he rolls his eyes as brandon shuts the door. "hope im not too late to the party. took me forever to remember which room astoria said. but im glad i know where your room is at now, liz" he says looking at me and i nod. "glad you're here. want a drink" i ask and he nods. i hand him his cup and he thanks me before sitting down in the floor.

"so astoria, when do you want to beat cam's ass? i was thinking breakfast tomorrow" pansy says, making us all laugh. i sit down in the floor, in the middle of pansy and brandon, after pouring my cup. i hear draco groan and he stands up. he walks over to the circle and brandon looks up at him "what the fuck are you looking at? scoot" he spits and i hear pansy laugh. i look at her and she shakes her head, causing usto both start laughing. "no. i don't want him getting hurt" she shakes her head and everyone looks at her. "are you fucking kidding me" i laugh and she sighs "no." pansy shakes her head and looks at me "how about a game of truth or dare? every one always loves those" she says and everyone agrees.

"i'll go first" pansy says and i get up to pour everyone drinks again. "astoria, truth or dare" "dare" "i dare you to kiss the most attractive person in the room" pansy says. i expect astoria to kiss brandon, out of pure respect for me and draco. but no, i turn around and see astoria's lips on pansy. "oh my fucking god" i look at them, draco looks at me, brandon looks at them. astoria pulls away and smiles, pansy looks at her with the same smile. "what the fuck just happened" i say as i sit back down and astoria laughs. "that was the dare" she shrugs and draco still just stares at them with shock. "i seriously thought i was about to be able to kiss astoria" he says and i look at. "kidding, of course" he says and i flip him off as i hand everyone their cup back.

"okay, brandon, truth or dare" astoria says and i smile as i lean my head on draco's shoulder. "dare" he answeres bravely and she smirks, "take a body shot off of, liz" she says and i look at her. is she out to get me or something? what the fuck? draco looks at brandon, pratically daring him to do it. "okay" he shrugs and looks at me. i sigh as i lay down and lift my shirt just above my stomach. astoria pours some of her drink on my stomach and i feel brandon's tongue move up my side and he takes the shot.

i wipe my stomach off and sit up, draco glares at me angrily. he puts the rest of his drink in his mouth and looks at me. he wraps his hand around my throat and leans my head back. i watch as he stares at brandon whilst spitting the drink into my mouth. he lets go of me and i sit up. the two boys glare at one another, fighting each other without ever moving. "okay, brandon you're turn" pansy says and i look at astoria. "what the fuck" i mouth and she shrugs before turning back to the game.

the game continues, draco and brandon throw small remarks at each other every once in a while the more drinks they have. "okay. im leaving" pansy says standing up and laughing. "see you tomorrow" i say as she walks out. "i should get going too. i won't take up your bed tonight" astoria says and i nod "ill meet you at breakfast" i nod and she smiles before walking out. "cutting the party so short" brandon says and draco just looks at him "read the room" he says and brandon rolls his eyes as he stands up. "i enjoyed tonight, liz. you taste nice" he says and draco stands up, his fists clenched. i quickly grab him and help myself up "yeah" i say and brandon walks out.

"why'd you stop me" draco says as the door shuts "because you don't need to get into anymore trouble" i say and he shakes his head. "lay down with me" i say and he shakes his head "its cold as fuck in here" he says and i laugh. "fine then, ill see you tomorrow" i say and he groans drunkinly. "you can stay in my room. come on" he says and i smile as i grab my wand and we walk out.

its obvious that he drank more than me as he stumbles around the common room. we get into his room and i shut the door. "lay with me, elizabeth" he says as he plops onto his bed. i laugh as i turn the light off and lay down beside him. he wraps his arms around me, pulling my body closer to him. "i think i love you, elizabeth" he says and my breath hitches as i smile. "i think i love you too, draco" i say, even though i dont kow if he even knows what he is saying.
