They’d all been sitting on some beach, in the middle of no where, around a dying fire. They’d even managed to set up the fire the muggle way, which Sirius and James took great pride in, even if it was burning out.

This was their last bit of freedom all together before they started work for the order. Dumbledore hadn’t wanted to let in at first, but it wasn’t like he had much of a choice with the way the war was progressing.

So they’d taken the weekend to enjoy the summer air, escaping to some small town where they’d yet to see another person. Which was probably a good thing, considering how loud they were. They’d started playing a game of truth of dare. Assisted by their lowered inhibitions after an hour of drinking, the game dissolved into chaos.

“Okay,” James said, gathering the attention of everyone back from their laughter, “Who here do you think would have been most likely to have an affair with one of the professors.”

They giggled at the absurdity of the question, until Mary loudly proclaimed, “Lily, of course. All they’d have to do is tell her she’d gotten an O on an assignment and she’d be ready to go down.”

“That’s rich coming from the girl who once sucked off Anderson to get out of a detention.”

“You bitch,” Mary laughed, “I told you that in confidence.”

“No you didn’t,” Marlene said, gasping for breath, “You bragged about that for weeks. Said you rocked his world.”

“Of course I did. I am still me.”

“Okay, Okay,” Sirius said, excitedly, “I’ve got a good one.”

He paused dramatically, allowing for all of the attention to settle onto him before he continued, “Who was, if you are, or who would be, if you aren’t, your gay awakening?”

“Go on then, Sirius. You start,” Dorcas said.

“Mine was Will Middleton.”

“Wasn’t he on Ravenclaw’s Quidditch team?” Peter asked.

“Yeah, he was,” Sirius said, “He was proper fit until I accidentally hit him with a bludger. Broke his nose and everything.”

“I remember that,” James said, “You were going mental afterwards.”

“Can’t really blame me,” Sirius shrugged, before saying to James, “You next then.”

“Oh I shouldn’t,” James scrambled, his face blushing.

“Come on mate, we all know your straight,” Remus said, gesturing to Lily who was curled up next to James.

He shook his head. He tried looking at Lily for help, but she was shaking with the effort of containing her laughter.

“See, Lily wants to know too,” Sirius pushed.

“Don’t bring me into this,” Lily said, “I already know the answer.”

“What? You told her but you won’t tell me?”

“She’s my girlfriend, mate.”

“Yeah and I had to suffer through you whining about her for years. I deserve to know who you’d want to fuck if you were into blokes.”

“Fine, but just know you asked for this,” James sighed, “Regulus.”

“My brother?” Sirius said, “What about him?”

Everyone else in the group figured out what Sirius hadn’t. They were all waiting patiently for Sirius to get it, managing only to stay silent because of their curiosity.

“He’s who I’d be into,” James said, before adding, “Regulus, that is.”

“My brother?” Sirius repeated, yelling this time out the outrageous thought. “My fucking brother?”

None of them could control their laughter anymore, as Sirius fake gagged.

“I told you that you didn’t what to know.”

“Why would you be into my brother?” Sirius asked, before immediately thinking better of it and yelling, “NO! Never answer that question. I don’t want to know.”

“That’s probably for that best,” Lily laughed, loving how embarrassed James was getting. His face had turned a shade of bright red, which she found quite adorable. She decided to save him from his misery by answering the question herself.

“I think it would be Mary.”

“Thanks, babes,” Mary smiled.

“Yeah, I mean your tits are fucking fantastic. Especially, since you got your nipples done. They are fucking sexy.”

“Oh yeah,” Alice said, nodding along, “I’d go with Mary too. Those piercings were sexy.”

“Wait, hold on a second,” Sirius said, “Both of you have seen Mary’s tits?”

“Of course,” Alice said, “We’ve all seen each others naked plenty of time.”

“Naked?” Peter squeaked.

“Yeah,” Lily said, “like sometimes you’ve got to pick an outfit, it’s just easier.”

“Or you need to pick out lingerie that makes you look good and you need an opinion on it,” Marlene explained.

“So you all are just fine with being naked in front of each other?” James asked, his face even more flush that before.

“Well yeah.” Dorcas shrugged.

“I know that all of them will make me feel confident and sexy, unlike some men,” Alice explained.

“Honestly, you’d think that some men just hate women,” Mary said.

“I don’t,” Sirius protested, “Show me your tits.”

Mary rolled her eyes, choosing to flip him off instead of responding.

“My boyfriend, ladies and gentlemen,” Remus said.

“I don’t discriminate,” Sirius winked, “You feel free to whip it out whenever.”

It took them a few minutes to recover. Peter and James had the worst of it, trying to get the image of the of the girls waltzing around their dorm naked all the time, despite that not being an accurate representation.

“Frank next then,” James pushed.

“I dunno,” Frank said, “Mark Hamill? He was good in that muggle film you took me to see.” He was look at Alice, as if waiting for her to confirm if his choice was correct.

“You are so straight,” Remus laughed.

“Mine was Charlotte Miller,” Dorcas said.

“What?” Marlene said, “Mine too!”

“Yeah, her ass was amazing.”

They high-fived over their shared taste. Before kissing while everyone else booed them. The majority of the group were in happy relationships, but the public display of affection was too far for the drunken group not to protest at.

“Mary?” Marlene asked, “How about you?”

“Caitlyn Reeds, snogged her at a party in third year. I snogged Sirius the next day and still liked it, so it took me a while to realize that I was down for anything, but she was still it.”

“Peter?”

“I’ve got no fucking clue,” Peter said, “I guess if I had to pick it’d be Lucas Harrison. He’s nice.”

“Okay, last one,” Dorcas cheered, “Who was it Remus?”

“I hate to disappoint you all, but it was a bloke from my home town that none of you know. Snogged him once and that was that, but a part of me always knew.”

They continued their endless questioning until the fire had burnt out. They walked back to the house they were renting still giddy from the night they’d had, which succeeded in distracting them from the rest of the world.

“I still can’t believe you’d want to sleep with my fucking brother,” Sirius said. Remus rolled his eyes, walking into their room before he could be dragged back into that conversation.

“Goodnight Sirius,” Lily giggled, pulling James along up to their room.

Sirius and Effie drinking tea at night.

James didn't even know that Sirius came to visit until he wakes up to them STILL AWAKE at 4am when he goes for a run, gossiping about everything.
