it was by dеsign, 'cause baby, i'm a mastermind
"Let's throw a New Year's Eve party!" Sirius had said. "It’ll be fun! Almost everyone stayed for the Winter Formal this year, we can't pass this opportunity up, please please please, James!"
James was a schmuck. Of course he said yes.
A handful of days before the big event, he learned the truth - the evening was to serve as a backdrop for Sirius's confession to Remus. The 'plan'? Get drunk and wing it.
Unable to sway Sirius from his awful idea, James turned to an unlikely ally for help - his best mate’s brother. Working with Regulus was so easy, he had total confidence they’d keep Sirius from mucking it all up... until things start falling apart when jealousy gets the better of James.
(Fortunately for them, they're not the only ones ringing in the New Year with a scheme.)
