Lily's POV

(New year's party, sixth year)

The party was getting wilder by the minute, and I was having fun. Most people assumed that it was because I was drunk, but I had only had one shot of firewhisky. My alcohol tolerance was higher than that.

"HEY" hollered Sirius over the noise. "If anyone wants to play Truth or Dare, get over here!"

Many people turned away, going back to dancing or chatting. I strode over, a little unsteadily in the heels Marlene forced me to wear. I was pleasantly surprised to see most of my girlfriends there. Dorcas, Marlene, Alice and Emmaline. Hestia hadn't been able to make it because her parents were going to Italy and she wanted to see them off. I grinned and sat between Dorcas and Marlene.

"So," Sirius said, loudly, obviously very tipsy. "This is how the game is going to work." He held up an empty beer bottle. "It's like Spin the Bottle, but you Truth or Dare the person the bottle lands on."

Em giggled for no random reason. I looked round and saw Remus glaring at a seventh year, head of the Ravenclaw quidditch team, I thought. Remus had a thing for Emmaline and she felt the same way, but they were both too shy. I vowed to myself that I would set them up sometime after the party.

"I'll spin first" announced James.

He grabbed the bottle and spun it on the floor. It stopped at Peter. James grinned.

"Truth or dare, Wormy?"

"Um..." Pettigrew's face contorted in concentration. "Truth."

"Who is the person you keep writing to? A secret girlfriend?" James nudged the small boy, who had gone very white.

"I-I changed my mind. Dare!" he squeaked.

"Forfeit!" yelled Dorcas.

Sirius nodded with a serious expression on his face (pun intended).

"Go up to the oldest looking person in this room and tell them they have wrinkles" he grinned.

Peter scurried up to the Ravenclaw Captain, Benjy Fenwick, and mumbled something to him. Fenwick went red in the face and pulled his wand. The entire group stood up as Pettigrew shrank back from the furious quidditch player.

"Oi! Fenwitch, isn't it?" shouted James.

"Fenwick, actually" replied the boy, a little snootily. "What do you want?"

"Lay off Wormtail. It was only a dare."

"A stupid one. He should have forfeited." Benjy said coolly, still pointing his wand at Peter.

I glanced at the terrified look on the chubby boy's face and stepped between him and the wand. Pretty much everyone was watching by then.

"Move away, Evans" growled Fenwick. "I don't want to hurt you."

I narrowed my eyes and flicked my waist-length hair over my shoulder.

"I will not move. It was the forfeit and if you want Peter, you'll have to go through me." I said quietly.

My voice carried through the room and echoed, so it sounded like a deadly threat. The tall Ravenclaw huffed and lowered his wand.

"This isn't over" he snarled.

"Yes, it is." I said firmly and dragged Pettigrew back over to our group.

"Thanks, Evans" he mumbled.
