SURPRISE HISTORY PARTY THREAD!
How had he let Derek convince him that this was a good idea?

Vinny stared aimlessly across the literal sea of people and crowds covering the vast land of his backyard. Sure, sure, he had a ton of land because he lived on a farm, but that didn't mean throwing an End of School Year bash was a brilliant idea! Just because his parents were going to be out of town for the next week, did not mean he should take advantage of it! Oh, hell, at least they weren't getting in the house (where he'd all but locked Davy inside of).

It was a pretty good party so far, though. There was a barbecue, girls in bikinis, torch lights lining the pool area, a volleyball net, girls in bikinis, lots of loud music, girls in bikinis...

"HEY there is no need to be littering!" Vinny said with a loud huff, using his wand to send the paper cup shooting back into the perpertrator's face. Merlin, oh Merlin. Derek better stay over tonight to help him clean up, tomorrow. There was no way he'd be able to clean this mess up all by himself. As much fun as he was planning to have, he still needed to be somewhat in control of this bash!

"Who the hell invited the sixth years!" he shouted, eying a couple of students who were definitely not part of the Hogwarts class of 1977.

For fuck's sake, if he was named Head Boy this year it was going to be hell.

[OOC:] :) Random 2:30 in the morning idea! My last weekend as a free woman!! This thread is open to 77ers and 78ers (or at least, those cool enough to hear about the party and crash it ;D) This means ALL characters alive at that point can post and have fun! Try to keep with whatever canon we've decided in-game, of course XD

and to clear it up: it's like the first weekend after school ends, June of 1976. 77ers just finished their sixth year, 78ers just finished their fifth (ooh OWLs!) This thread is set BEFORE the start of Valesco wtf XDD

Lily knew who the messy black-haired boy was that had slid into her view before he had even gotten there. Of course it was Potter, and of course he'd come up on her the second she was no longer warily eying him across the pool, thinking maybe he'd be distracted enough with the dimwitted blonde 7th year to leave her alone for one full night.

She didn't know why she'd come, knowing he'd be there. Somewhere between Ben and her friends all promising that they'd keep him back she had decided this was a good idea when clearly it was not because the second they all walked off to do other things, who else had decided to make his greetings but the one and only (thank Merlin) James Randall Potter. Lily glanced out of the corner of her eye over to the volleyball court where her boyfriend was proving rather embarrassingly that being good at one sport did not mean being good at all, and realized with dismay that he was not coming to save her from this any time soon.

He was so getting dumped.

Crossing her arms over her chest in that signature move of impatience--one that James, of all people, knew very well by now--she regarded the boy in front of her with distaste. "Do you require something, Potter?"

"Do you require something, Potter?" James mimicked, his face contorting in disgust at her proper tone. Who really talked like that? All the time? At first he thought it was just the prefect badge talking, but nope! Lily Evans was just as snobby outside of school as she was in it. And being this way made it so much fun to tease and terrorize her whenever possible.

James ran a hand through his hair, enjoying how its dampness made it stick on end even more than usual. That just meant that he wouldn't look like a complete disaster like most of these guys around here. Not that he cared if Evans thought he looked like a disaster, because if she didn't like him for him, then what did he want her for?

It was a question he'd been trying to answer for years.

He stretched, making sure to accentuate his very bare, water-droplet glistening chest, "Nothing at all, I just wanted to see how your first week of holiday's been! As any good friend would like to inquire."

Lily stuck her nose up further at his mockery of her tone, which... really just went to prove a point, but what did it matter? He was so frustrating! Why he got to her as effectively as he did was a question she had been attempting to answer for just as long as he'd been trying to figure out why she didn't like him, but all either of them really knew was that Potter and Evans were two names that did not mix.

She watched him show off and scoffed a bit under her breath, managing somehow to look away despite that---well, she was a girl, wasn't she? Lily had no issue admitting that he was good-looking, just as long as it wasn't to him. Anyway, it wasn't too terribly difficult to distract herself by casting her gaze for a moment back over to Ben, who was---yes, he was much more attractive than Potter, and to boot wasn't a complete tosser.

See, if Potter really liked her as much as he said he did, one would think he'd observe the kind of boys she went for and try to act like less of a jackass every once in a while, but no. And that's was really just a slice of what got her about this whole thing. Clearly he DIDN'T actually like her, he just INSISTED upon saying he did and meanwhile causing her torment day in and day out because it was AMUSING to him.

"We're not friends," Lily bit at him, anger having just risen several levels by her thoughts alone. "Gather up your delusions and take them to someone else."

James' mouth dropped in exaggerated horror, his hand going to his chest because he was offended. "Lily! I cherish our friendship, and you throw around such hurtful words!"

His expression quickly dropped from pained to completely unamused and unfazed. Wah, wah, wah. James let out an exasperated breath, and looking around the crowd. He was getting a bit bored of this, as she was not reacting to him as he wished. Sure, he enjoyed her insults and how her face grew red when she slung them at him, but when there was so much going on around him, it was hard to concentrate when Lily wasn't giving him the light of day.

"Who'd you come with? Liz and Marlie were here ages ago." And Alice was skittering around, and Sirius was probably shagging something in the bushes, and Remus had probably gone home already, and Peter...was of course at the buffet.

Lily had thought she'd been good, lasting this long into a conversation without rolling her eyes at something James said. See, normally it happened before he even got within a meter of her, but this had been---what, thirty seconds? It had to be a new record.

If she wasn't half sure that he'd pull her in with him, Lily would have just pushed him into the pool and walked off at this point.

... Actually, she was still strongly considering the option.

"No, I came with Ben," she replied impatiently, glancing over his shoulder surreptitiously, hoping to eye an escape route somewhere around here. So distracted was she with trying to make a getaway that she didn't realize that she had just divulged some information that her boyfriend would be... not so pleased about. "That's what you do with your significant other, you accompany each other to parties, Potter."
