Hundreds of strangers dancing in a small place, strobe lights, lasers, glow sticks, rainbow moving lights, music so loud that you cant hear yourself think, Danielle Wilkes and Karleigh Hamilton are all Olivia needed to make herself feel better about her current situation. It could have been days, and it could be hours, The brunette had forgotten how long she had been dancing with her friends so far. That was, until, Danielle pulled Olivia over to the bar for a drink. Though you still had to scream over the music to talk to one another, the bar was the only place that you could talk.
"So, Whats going on with you and Antonin?!" Danielle screamed towards her best friend as she ordered a drink. Olivia shrugged and winked at the bar tender as he handed her the drink, turning to her best friend.
"I'm not sure! I mean, he's getting a lot better! The other night he told me i was cute when i was mad! Oh! And that he loved me! Why do you ask?!" She took a sip of her drink, keeping her striking green eyes on her best friend over the cup. Danielle smirked and ordered herself a drink.
"Well- he's my other best friend! I just want to see you guys happy!" Olivia rolled her eyes. They were at the biggest rave of the year in underground London, this was not the time, nor the place to be having a heart to heart with her best friend about her ex-fiance.
"Where Leigh?!" Olivia's eyes scanned the crowd. They were dancing with her in the crowd but lost her on the way to the bar. Danielle's head turned and looked out too, but it was Olivia who spotted her. She smirked and pointed to the middle of the dance floor. She was hoisted up on the shoulders of a hunky man, laughing and fist pumping to the music, high fiving random people. Karleigh Hamilton was a Hufflepuff and she was young, but she knew how to party like a Slytherin, and Danielle and Olivia respected the hell out of her for it. Tilting her head back Olivia finished her drink easily, sliding the cup back onto the bar and turned towards Danielle, nodding her head back onto the floor. She didn't walk far until she felt a hand on her arm pulling her back. Furrowing her brows she looked back at Danielle who had a completely unrecognizable expression on her face. Of course she would want to talk to her about it now.
"Look, Dani!" Olivia turned full to her best friend. "I'm in love with him, okay?! i am! But i need for him to prove to me that he needs me just as much as i need him! If we're meant to be then we'll end up together! But we are at the biggest rave of the year in London, and we're letting a Hufflepuff take all the fun! Come on! I need this!" She nodded to Danielle, and even though it took a few moments, Danielle smiled and nodded back. The classic smile grew on Olivia's face and she grabbed Danielle's hand, weaving through the crowd of people and back to Karleigh.
"BYE KARLEIGH!"
"SHUT UP, DANI! i mean! i mean shhh! Shh Danielle!" Olivia's hand met her mouth to cover a laugh, as did Danielle's. Karleigh was down the hallway but they could hear her trying to muffle her laughter. That was, until, she decided to yell down the hallway back at them as they started walking away.
"SEE YA BITCHES! LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! SHI-" she stopped her cuss word half way through and bent down, not being able to help her drunk self being so loud, even when shes whispering. Olivia furrowed her brows and looked back at her.
"Its Filch!" she whispered hoarsely, and not really so much a whisper as a quiet yell.
"Who's down there?! CHILDREN OUT OF BED! CHILDREN OUT OF BED!" came the booming voice of filch. All three of their eyes widened, hearing the clicking of his shoes starting to pick up pace down the hallway. As if it were instinct they all took off. Karleigh towards Hufflepuff tower, Danielle and Olivia down towards the dungeons. Well, running as best as they could. The two were clearly drunk and staggering all over the place as they tried to escape, and even though they knew the had lost Filch long ago, their adrenaline didn't let them stop until they got to the common room door, practically screeching the password down the hallway. (this they had to do a few times. Every time they tried to yell out the password they started laughing, making it wrong.) Olivia got inside first, looking around the empty Slytherin common room before she stepped inside fully. Danielle, however, was as clumsy as an ox when she was drunk, and tripped while stepping in, falling to the ground and taking Olivia with her. The two instantly burst out laughing, back to the floor, not caring if they wake anyone up in the process.
The common room was dark, meaning it was early enough in the morning where the fire was out, and the school house elves haven't been down to relight it yet. Olivia calmed down and her eyes zoomed around the dark room, adjusting to the darkness the best they could in her state of mind.
"Liv?" Olivia turned her head towards Danielle, who was sitting up now, sitting Indian style next to her.
"How do you know when someones the right one for you?" Olivia rolled her eyes and was instantly thankful for the dark. Danielle always wanted to have heart to hearts when she was drunk, and Olivia wanted nothing more but to forget about her own heart. She shrugged, though she knew she couldn't see it.
"You just know, i guess." She mumbled, turning her head away slightly.
"Thanks for the help, champ." Danielle joked, laughing a bit. Olivia laughed halfheartedly and looked towards her.
"Well, i don't know. You just do. Antonin is the one. I just... you just know when they're it. you know when there's no one else out there for you. Are you having doubts about Avery?" Danielle shrugged, then tilted her head at her.
"If hes the one, then whats stopping you from being with him?" Her voice came low, meaningful. Olivia lay there in thought for a moment, her mind searching for the answer; what really was stopping her? Then it hit her, and she nodded once before speaking.
"He doesn't show that he loves me... he doesn't.... What if i were to die tomorrow? I would die not knowing how he felt about me... and i cant live with that. I don't know how he can." There was a silence, and Olivia instantly regretted saying what she did.
"ANTONIN!" Danielle yelled happily, laughing as she did so.
"ANTONIN?!" Olivia shot up, looking around the room. There, at the top of the staircase, stood Antonin. Her heart dropped for a moment but suddenly picked up and she smiled, laying back on the floor, her giggly drunk self coming back into play.
"Ant! Guess what i did tonight!? DANCED! and i drank. a Looooooot. i think some kid gave me some pills. Whatever. but i DANCED! With Dani! And KARLEIGH! oh i miss her. i miss Karleigh. Hey! Hey Antonin can we go get Leigh!? Antoninnnnnnnn!!!" she said his name happily, giggling with Danielle the whole while. Danielle seemed to get a kick out of what she just said, because she flung her head back to laugh and hit her head off the wall, which was the funniest thing either of them had experienced all night. Olivia fell back on her back laughing, her hands over her stomach and her knees curled up towards her body, slightly rolling as she laughed. Danielle fell to her side and laughed just as hard, trying to muffle it with her hand but failing.
