Autumn nodded her head, taking a moment to think. "If I have to wait for you to bounce it into the cup, Iâm worried I might sober up.â She teased with a laugh, âSo how about I drink if I get it in, and you drink if you do.â Autumn smirked and got herself into a more comfortable position. Although she did warn him that she was competitive, she wasnât sure he understood the extent of it. Being an only child meant she was praised on everything and never compared to anybody else, so she always felt the need to be the best at everything in order to make her father proud of her.
She studied the empty glass between them, biting down on her tongue slightly as she lined up the the coin to where she wanted to bounce it. Letting it go, she watched as it bounced over the cup and landed on the other side. âFuck.â She breathed, reaching across the table to pick the coin back up. âThat was just a practice run, yeah?â Autumn looked to Sirius, a rather blank expression on her face. âIâll get it this time.â
"Suit yourself." He agreed easily, thinking of all the nights off he'd had recently with nothing to do but make friends and drink. Plus, the addition of the years him and James had spent in the common room doing just about anything but studying. That was, until Remus finally convinced them to do at least the bare minimum. It wasn't really sandbagging if she said it, was it? He watched her as she concentrated, fighting the urge to laugh. He'd have to remember to invite her the next time they all got together - he thought James and him might be able to have some fun here.Â
"Sure." Sirius reached forward to snatch the coin before she could, the corners of his lips twitching as he twirled it between two fingers for a moment, before bouncing it effortlessly into the cup. It wasn't the first time he'd played, after all. "Sure you will." He winked, a lopsided grin taking over his features as he took a pointed drink from his cup, eyes never leaving hers. Sitting back once more, he stretched his arms out across the back of the cushions, relaxed. She could take all the practice shots she wanted, as far as he was concerned. He wasn't expected anywhere until a few days from now, they could play the game all night if they wanted.Â
