IT'S TRADITION that with every win (and sometimes even a loss), they celebrate with a huge party in the Gryffindor common room. The tradition had been going on for almost 25 years, ever since Roxy's dad and his brother (Fred and George Weasley) had started it.

Firewhisky was provided by Gregory Atkins, and James, Alex, and Asher always snuck into the kitchens and brought plenty of food. Every Gryffindor was welcome, and even sometimes people from other houses snuck in. However, it was an unwritten rule that only 4th years and above would stay past curfew (unless you were on the quidditch team).

The parties were some of Annalise's favorite memories of Hogwarts. Back in first year, her brother Theodore Wood had gotten so drunk he went around confessing his love to every Gryffindor girl in the room. And then in her third year, Fred Weasley II set off several packs of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, the entire common room packed with colorful exploding Fireworks. That was also the year a furious Mcgonagall had marched into the common room at 3 AM, demanding they shut the party down immediately.

The party in the gryffindor common room yesterday, after their big win from Slytherin, left her completely exhausted. It was more lively than usual, since it was the first win of the year. Luckily, it was a Sunday and she had finished all her homework, so she could take the day to rest. There's no way she could do anything today with the horrible hangover she had.

You really shouldn't have drank so much firewhisky she scolded herself. By the time she had woken up that morning, Roxy and Talia had already left. Annalise assumed they let her sleep, especially since she hated being woken up. She quickly got dressed and made her way to the Great Hall for breakfast. She passed William who was snogging Eloise Cox in the hallway and she resisted the urge to hex them both. Her heartbreak had significantly reduced, as she was no longer that sad. She was furious now. She wanted revenge, she wanted to make him jealous and mad.

Looking around for her friends at the table, and not spotting any of them, she decided to sit next to Cal at breakfast for a change, joining him and his friends. Roxy, Talia, and the other had probably finished eating a long time ago. She waved hello to his friends Amalia and Timothy, taking a seat next to her brother.

"You look pissed." Cal noticed.

"What?" Annalise asked snapping out of her thoughts.

"You look pissed!" Cal said loudly, screaming in her ear.

"I'm not deaf Cal" She snapped, smacking her brother in the head.

"Ow!" Cal muttered, rubbing his head. "Someone's in a crabby mood."

"I just have a horrible hangover." She groaned, rubbing her forehead. "And William's pissing me off as always."

"What did he do now?" Cal questioned, raising an eyebrow.
