Late Night Studies.

[Andi Lupin]

Melanie was sitting near the fire, attempting to actually do some of her homework. This year, most of her homework was incomplete, and she couldn't use another set of detentions. The potions teacher had warned her that if this essay wasn't at least Acceptable, she'd have a week of detenions. She'd been up all night looking at potions books, but nothing was on her paper. Potions just didn't make sense in her mind. Damn.. what's the point?

[Ophelia Rose]

Ryan and Rob walked into the common room. "'Lo, Melanie." They said simutaneously. They did that a lot. Ryan ruffled his hair and looked at Melanie's empty page of homework. "Need any help?" He asked. He was extraordinary at potions, and other things. Rob was too busy staring at Melanie, she was beautiful.

Melanie looked up at the two, trying to determine which was which. Okay, Ryan is more talkative. So, this one's Ryan. Rob's over in the back. "Sure Ry. Anything would help. Potions is hell. I've been at it all night, and nothing is coming... Hey Rob! You come sit too." Melanie could definately deal with sitting between the twins.

[Ophelia Rose]

Rob immediatley stood up and sat next to Melanie, putting his arm around her. Ryan looked at Rob and scoffed. "So, what do you have to do?" Ryan asked, trying to ignore the fact that he thought she was absolutely gorgeous. Rob couldn't help at all, his school work was terrible and he was almost constantly in detention.

Melanie shuffled through papers looking for the essay topic. "Uhm, something about the benefits of newt's eyes over regular lizards. Isn't a newt the same thing as a regular lizard?" Melanie sighed defeatedly. "As if this stuff actually matters.." She leaned back on Rob, using his shoulder as a pillow.

[Ophelia Rose]

Rob smiled and put his head on top of hers. Ryan's heart sunk a little and he pouted." A newt's a little smaller but I have no idea. Sorry, Mel." He wanted to tell her that he loved her, it was true but he didn't think he should say it. All Rob wanted was to get in bed with her, then never speak with her again.

[Andi Lupin]

"Aw hell. He probably just gave me this bullshit so I could get detention again." Melanie complained. She hated getting detention, it took away from her party time. "What do you say we just blow this off and grab some firewhisky? I have a stash down in the Room of Requirement." Melanie looked up at Ryan with a gleam in her eye.

[Ophelia Rose]

Ryan had never had a drink in his life. He didn't really want to either but he'd still go with them. "Of course." Rob said, he'd been dying for a drink all day. Ryan just nodded. What d'you know, maybe he'd have his first drink today. For Melanie. He smiled and glared at Rob, helping her up.

[Andi Lupin]

Melanie grinned and hopped up. She took each of the boys by the hand and set of to the Room of Requirement. "What will you guys be drinking? There's firewhisky, butterbeer, and some new stuff Caleb brought to the stash. Tequila I think he called it. It's damn nasty, but it's powerful." Melanie was all smiles as the got to the Room of Requirement. Who doesn't love being in the middle of gorgeous twins?

[Ophelia Rose]

"Firewhiskey." Rob said, looking at his brother, he knew Ryan had never drank before. Ryan pretended that he didn't hear her. It was easy enough. He didn't want Melanie to know that he's never had a drop of alcohol. Both of the twins were looking at eachother mouthing the words "She's mine."

[Andi Lupin]

Melanie grinned, assuming that it had been both of them answering. "Firewhisky it is boys." She went over to her secret stash and pulled out three firewhiskys, handing one to each of the boys. "To.. twins and music." She said holding her bottle up in a toast. Twins and music, possibly Melanie's two favorite things in the world.

[Ophelia Rose]

Rob grabbed the firewhisky and drank the whole thing."Thanks" Rob said,"Can I have another?" He asked. He was hoping to get drunk tonight. He was hoping she would too. Ryan grabbed his firewhisky. He didn't want to drink any. He sniffed it and cringed. He decided he was going to drink it. Not yet though.

[Andi Lupin]

Melanie had downed hers just as fast as Rob, drinking was second nature for her. She grabbed two more, tossing one lightly towards Rob. "Good stuff. Drink up Ryan. We don't want to triple you before you start! Right Rob?" Melanie giggled. With her first drink, Melanie got giggly. With her second, tipsy. By the third, dirty dancing was bound to occur. And with four she was flat out crazy.

[Ophelia Rose]

"Right." Rob said. Ryan gulped and drank the firewhisky. He drank all of it and Rob tossed him another. Ryan thought it tasted terrible but gulped down all of that one as well. Ryan was dizzy. He tripped over an empty bottle and was leaning on Melanie. "Hey, sexy." He said. The firsttime you drank was the worst. It did crazy things to you.

[Andi Lupin]

Melanie's eyes lit up even more when she realized that it was his first time drinking. She had downed her second bottle, and was having a hard time keeping herself up. She had a third bottle in her hand when Ryan started to lean on her. "First time?" She asked Rob, giggling at Ryan. "Well, Ryan. I didn't know you thought that about me. What else have you not told me?"
