01: Drink Until We Drop
It was very well known throughout Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that there was normally trouble around every corner of the castle. This is, when the Marauders are around.
James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew were all famously known for the constant pranks, flirting (notably Sirius Black), all around mess and being purely disruptive in any given serious situation.
Another name that was commonly known around Hogwarts was the name of a girl who went by Zoey Peterson.
Zoey Peterson was in no other words, a complete badass.
With glossy black hair, dark eyes and a smart ass attitude, no one wanted to get on the wrong side of Zoey. The Marauders may be the troublemakers, but she was the Queen.
There was also the fact that Zoey Peterson and the Marauders were practically inseparable. Apart from the times where Zoey would spend time with her oldest friend, Nat Johnson, students would just consider her a part of the Marauders group itself.
But being in sixth year with exams, stress and the constant worry about the world outside of the school, there was one thing that the older students liked to do to get their minds off everything.
Party.

"Hand me the bottle, Pads" a slow spoken James Potter tried to show over the loud music that was echoing off the walls of the room of requirement
"What?" Slurred an even drunker Sirius Black who mockingly put his hand to his ear showing he couldn't hear his friend
"Bottle. Me. Now" James tried to shout louder but after the blank look he got from his friend, he just resulted to taking the bottle of firewhiskey off Sirius and glugging down a few mouthfuls
Lights flashed and music blared numbing the drunken teens senses as they continued to dance along with everyone else that was packed inside the large room. Couples littered the dance floor, snogging and crashing into others yet no one really minded as they were too drunk to think about being annoyed or angry
James took another swig from the bottle. Sirius was rambling on about some girl he was going to try make out with but James was too drunk to comprehend what he was saying, so drunkenly nodded along looking like he was listening to whatever his best friend was saying.
"Yeah Pads, go get her" James enthusiastically nodded and swayed as Sirius grinned and turned to stumble away but James latched onto his arm before he could leave "You seen Arty anywhere?"
"Who?"
"Zoey you idiot"
"Oh right, yeah she's over there" Sirius pointed over to a couple who were fiercely locking lips and pressed up against the wall "She's getting some tonight, so I want to" he concluded before stumbling off into the crowd, finding a girl before kissing her, not even caring who she was
