Bubblegum ➳ Remus Lupin

[06.] Quidditch & Firewhisky

THE GIRLS IN the dorm room quickly paced around, throwing coats and other winter essentials everywhere. The only blonde in the room was looking for her boots while the two redheads shuffled through their trunks, trying to find a perfect coat to wear. At the end of the room, stood a brunette watching on in amusement as her friends panicked around. Today Gryffindor was playing against Slytherin, and no one wanted to miss it. Especially if they knew that the lions were going to smash the snakes.

"Don't just stand there Ali, help me figure out which coat to wear." Violet was becoming frustrated as she looked between the two coats. "The black one or the turquoise one?" she asked, holding both up. 

"The turquoise one. It'll give a pop of color to your ear muffs, and we all know its Remus' favorite coat on you." Alice teased as the other two friends stopped searching and listened on to the conversation between the two best friends. 

"Remus? Did something happen? Oh, do tell!" Marlene shouted excitedly as she forgot about her boots and turned her full attention towards her friend. "No, nothing happen Mar." Violet murmured, turning her attention towards her trunk so that they could not see her blush. 

Lily raised an eyebrow as she stared attentively at her sister. "So nothing happened? Then why are you the color of a tomato?" "Something did happen then. Come on Vi, tell us!" Marlene grinned. 

"Yes, why don't you tell us Lettie?" Alice smirked, already knowing what happened. "We kissed, that's all." Violet blurted out. Lily and Marlene let out a squeal. "That's all? Merlin, Vi you kissed Remus Lupin! You've been crushing on him since fourth year, and you finally get to snog the life out of him." 

"Actually, he snogged the life out of me. Not the other way around." 

"So? You still snogged. What's next? A shag?" 

"Marlene!"

"And Potter scores yet again!" shouted the Quidditch commentator, Nick Rogers. The crowd of Gryffindors cheered loudly, as they noticed the score board. It was 100 to 70, and Gryffindor was in the lead. 

"Come on James!" shouted Violet, cheering loudly for her new friend. "You know he can't hear you, right?" asked Remus from her left as Alice agreed with him. Violet turned her body to the side and looked at Remus. "And? I'll still cheer until I can no longer speak Rem." 

"The snakes seem to be playing dirty! Bloody hell, just wait until we're done with you. You'll beg for mercy an- "McGonagall began to scold him as the Slytherin team only smirked and continued to play dirty. Violet noticed a bludger coming James way and she screamed at him. "James, watch out!" 

Sirius seemed to hear her because he hit the bludger in order to prevent it from hitting his best mate.  James smiled gratefully at the two of them before turning his attention back to the game, ready to end the Slytherins. 

"It seems that Davis has seen the snitch!" cried out Nick as the Gryffindor seeker zoomed towards the flying gold ball. Davis wrapped his hand around the snitch and the game came to an end with the Gryffindors cheering louder than ever. 

James and Sirius flew over to their friends as Violet cried out happily. "Gryffindor won! Oh, you guys destroyed those snakes!" "What can we say? We're just that awesome." James grinned as Violet continued to cheer for the Gryffindor team. 

"How about we go out for a butterbeer or some fire whisky?" Sirius suggested as he looked at his friends. 

The marauders looked at each other mischievously as Violet stood there confused. "How are we going to do that? It's not even a Hogsmeade trip." 

"Oh dear Evans, you have lots to learn my wise child." 

"Don't call me that Sirius."

"I can't believe you guys have a bloody map that tells you where everyone is." whispered Violet in amazement as they closed the secret passage that led to Hogsmeade, carrying bottles of fire whisky.

"You're amazed by the map, but not by my invisibility cloak?" asked James as they reached the Gryffindor common room. "It's not the first time I've seen your cloak James. You use it to sneak out all the time." Violet replied as Peter spoke the password, the portrait allowing them in. 

James gasped dramatically.  "Have you been spying on me Evans?" Violet scoffed. "As if. I have better things to do then spy on you Potter." James smirked cockily at her. "Oh really? And does that better thing include you snogging Moony?" he asked as they all headed up towards the boys dorm room. 

Violet came to a halt as she glared at James. "My better things include coming up with hexes on how to torture annoying gits." Sirius snickered as they all walked into the boys dorm.  James shook his head and grinned. "You still have time to snog Moony though. Do you guys snog in broom closets or in empty corridors?" He wiggled his eyebrows, enjoying that he was making his two friends blush furiously. 

"James, knock it off." Remus complained, a red tint covering his cheeks and ears. "No Moony, we want to know. Where do you and Vi go snog your faces off?" Sirius spoke, interest clear in his tone. 

"We don't go snog anywhere Sirius. Nor do we either snog each others faces off." Violet firmly stated, grabbing a bottle of fire whisky and popping its cap off. "Not yet anyways."
