Between Realities {Hogwarts}

After Hours

Delilah watched as the clock hit exactly 10:30pm.

She quietly slid into a pair of sneakers and tread over towards the door, closing it softly behind her.

She walked slowly down the corridor, careful not to make any noise to wake anyone.

 When she reach the common room, Fred and George were already there sprawled across the couches, giggling with one another.

Jeez did they want to get caught

"You two both need to shut up or you will wake McGonagall," Delilah whispered as she reached them.

They both stood up and Fred ruffled Delilah's hair, a sign for her to shut up.

She noticed George had brought a backpack that looked like it was bursting with items.

"What's in the bag?" Delilah hissed at George as they left the common room through the portrait hole.

"You'll see soon enough," George replied cheerfully.

The three walked through the castle together, as quick and quietly as possible, a few giggles escaping here and there.

The last thing they needed was for Filch to catch them. But Fred and George were experts at sneaking around Hogwarts.

Soon enough they reached the astrology tower where they were free to talk without being heard.

3 Gryffindor students sat awaiting them; Lee Jordan, Angeline Johnson and Alicia Spinnet.

They all cheered when Fred, George and Delilah appeared in the entrance.

Fred, George and Delilah joined them on the ground, forming a tight circle. Delilah sat between Fred and George.

The atmosphere was light and joyous.

"I come bearing gifts," George announced to the group as he swung the backpack off of his shoulders and unzipped the bag.

He proudly beamed as he presented the group with his gifts.

From the bag he pulled two large bottles of vodka and another glass bottle containing tequila.

Delilah laughed at the proud grin on George's face.

"Our saviours!" bellowed Lee Jordan as he grabbed the tequila bottle from George's hands.

Fred took a bottle of vodka from George. 

He unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a long swing of the drink. He shook his head, causing his hair to be tossed from side to side and he screamed as the liquid ignited him. Everyone laughed.

He took another swig before passing the bottle to Delilah.

Delilah laughed and thought, 'Why the hell not?' It wasn't like she had never drank before.

She followed Fred's actions and brought the bottle to her lips. She felt the liquid travel down her throat, burning her insides as it went. Immediately she felt a pit in her stomach light on fire.

Happily, she passed the bottle on.

As the bottles were passed along, Fred kept reaching out to grab the bottles again and taking long gulps of the strong liquid. He clearly had drank the most and the liquid was starting to get to his head.

Everyone had had far to much to drink by this point and everyone was laughing at the smallest of things.

Fred and George were loving the attention of course.
