The Party

Description: Remus goes to a frat party (Modern No-Magic AU)
CW: Swearing, Drinking, Weed (Wolfstar)

Remus stood outside of the Delta Psi frat house. He was contemplating whether he should go in or go back to his dorm. He hadn't been out in a while, ever since his breakup with John Mcglaggen. They had dated for six months before he cheated on him with Evan Rosier. I mean, Evan Rosier?! Really? Evan Rosier was a pretentious asshole that lived in the dorm right across from John. He was a business major and he wore navy blazers everyday. I mean Jesus Christ. He knew he should get out more, that was kinda the point of college, but going to a party at a frat house did not seem like fun to him. He was going to go home and text Lily some excuse about how he couldn't make the party when he heard a voice from the porch of the house.

"Remus!" Lily called. She ran down the stairs to the porch and down to the sidewalk where Remus was. Her red hair was in a high ponytail, she was wearing a pair of denim shorts and a floral top, and she was carrying a red solo cup in her right hand.

"I'm glad you made it!" Lily said excitedly.

"Ya, thanks for inviting me. Are you sure it's ok with James?" Remus asked.

"Oh ya, he was actually happy that you were coming. He thinks you're cool." Lily replied.

"He's only met me a couple times."

"Ya but he thinks you're cool."

"Right, then." Remus paused for a second.

"You have to actually go in, Remus." Lily said.

"Are you sure?" Remus asked. Lily rolled her eyes.

"Come onnnnn" Lily said. She grabbed Remus's arm and started to drag him into the house. Remus laughed.

"Alright alright, no need to drag me." Remus said. They made their way up the stairs and into the house. The two were instantly met with loud EDM music. There were tons of other students roaming around the house either drinking, talking, dancing, or making out. The house was at least ten degrees hotter than the outside.

"This was a bad idea." Remus said.

"No it wasn't, come on. Let's get you a drink." Lily replied. The two maneuvered their way through the house and into the kitchen. In the kitchen there were multiple packs of light beer, bottles of cheap vodka, and a huge bowl of a suspicious looking punch with a plastic ladle inside it.

"Can you hold this for me?" Lily asked.

"Ya, sure." Remus replied. Lily handed Remus her drink and Remus took it and put his hand over the top. Lily walked over to the bowl of punch and poured some of it into another red solo cup from a stack next to the bowl. She walked back over to where Remus was standing with her drink. He handed her drink back to her and she handed his drink to him.

"What is this, may I ask?" Remus asked.

"I don't really know. But it's good, and James made it." Lily replied. Remus tried the mysterious liquid and it tasted like it was at least 75% vodka. Remus flinched.

"At least it's alcohol." Remus said.

"Exactly! You're gonna need it." Lily replied.

"Remus!" yelled a voice from across the room. Remus and Lily turned around to see James with a beer in his hand making his way towards them.

"Glad you made it!" James said. Remus thought James was a nice guy, if a little loud.

"Ya, thanks for letting me come." Remus replied.
