"Oh come on, Lily," Sirius said, "would we - your friends - ever get you into trouble?" Sirius looked at her innocently, almost looking as if her were serious. "And anyways. In the many years I've been here, I have never, ever been checked on by any Professor." Sirius drank both to the finishing a book and to failing a test, and also to sneaking out after curfew. Sirius could feel his throat burning. Maybe he shouldn't have gotten the higher proof...especially when he knew he was bad at this game.
Sirius decided to take his turn before Lily came to her senses and left. "I've never thought of James Potter as someone I'd like to be more than a friend with."

“Haha, Sirius, since when have I been your friend? Still, even if you have a habit of never getting caught…it’s getting late and I still have to tell Anne of our plans for tomorrow and that I’m still coming with her,” Lily got up slowly, trying to look nervous about getting caught and not the never just said by Sirius.
SHIT SHIT SHIT! Why is Sirius trying to do this to me? Maybe if I leave, I won’t have to answer. CRAP, James just has to turn around and look directly at me. If I drink, I’m going to let him know I like him, and if I don’t, they’ll say I’m lying, and it will defiantly hurt James’ ego. Oh well…here goes nothing.
Staring right into his brown eyes, Lily reached out to the bottle in his hands, slowly put it to her lips, and took a sip, letting the burning sensation distract her from the look on all their faces, and the bright blush creeping into her cheeks. Slowly, deciding not to leave, she sat back down next to James and glowered at Sirius.
"I've never enjoyed flying," She added, remembering it was her turn in their little game.

OH HO, the witch has something that can make her blush, James thought, keeping his own face blank and uninterested. Oh, he was interested all right, but the girl had more faces to her than a hydra. And, he suspected, liked Sirius a helluva lot more than she liked him; it caused his chest to tighten and his throat to close, but he was a big strong he-man and he-men didn't let anyone know they were upset. That's why they were he-men.
Still, though he suspected she had a crush on him, James were certain she was doing everything in her power to crush it, especially if she was hung up over Sirius, or, worse, Snape. A lick of anger rose in James' chest at that, but he stuffed it down; never knew what could come flying off the shelves and hit the poor girl in the head if he started to get mad. And he didn't want anymore dents in her head than she already had after living around Snape.
He didn't take a pull at Lily's question and tapped the neck of his bottle thoughtfully, trying to think of something he had really never done. Transfigure a person? Yup, done that. Animate an inanimate object? That's why Sirius had the motorcycle. Cursed a teacher? Well... not a wizarding teacher, anyway. Shoot the sheriff? No and he didn't shoot the deputy either.
Finally he lifted his bottle and said, "I have never knowingly blown up a house!" There! That was something to be proud of, but he didn't think it'd last very long. He and Sirius were very busy people.

Sirius drank once to enjoying flying, because he couldn't remember a time when he hadn't liked it, unless he was hit with one too many offhand bludgers.
Blown up a house,[i/] Sirius thought, nope, hadn't done that yet. Maybe Grimmauld would be the place to remedy that... Sirius caught James' eye with a look that said it was definitely a work in progress, and then decided to take his turn to commence phase 3 of his plan.
Taking his turn, Sirius searched for the perfect question. Perfect as in, no loopholes. "I've never" he said, thinking hard, "had green eyes." Screw it. He wasn't being inconspicuous anymore.

Blow up a house huh, wonder how long that’s going to last between the two of them. Hopefully it will survive tonight. The little git is trying to get me drunk….well two can play at that game. Plus, he’s taken more swings than I did.
Lily, took a quick sip, making sure it wasn’t near enough to get her drunk too fast.
“I have never had grey eyes,” Lily said, now making it an open war.

Sirius proudly took a large mouthful (after all, it was a contributing factor to making girls swoon), almost choking on it and spitting it all over James. That wouldn't have been nice. Swallowing all of it, he looked directly at Lily, almost a little unclearly.
He surprised her. "I've never had brown eyes."
Sirius had a plan here, for what seemed like the fifth time today, and this one had nothing to do with Lily. He already accomplished his goal. Now he was just toying with her.

Lily just stopped herself reaching out to the bottle. Brown eyes? Now wondering what Sirius was up to, she began to think of another question.
“I’ve never met a Bogart outside of the classroom,” she picked.

Oh, damn her, Sirius thought. These can't just be lucky guesses. What are the chances I have a boggart in the wardrobe back at home?
Sirius took another big sip, swaying slightly and sliding a little further down the wall. His thought processes were starting to fail him.
Trying to pull himself together, he made his statement. "I've...never...kissed a guy."

He looks like he’s about to pass out, Lily noticed. She took the bottle and took a drink from it. She had kissed Sev today didn’t she, even if it was just a friendly one and on the cheek. Plus, she had kissed a few other boys before.
“I have never met a house elf,” she kept coming with the questions.

Remus wondered if anyone would notice if he grabbed a book. To be honest, he had stopped playing long ago, but drinking whenever he felt he needed a sip and to make the rest think he like he was still playing. But bloody hell, this was no game, it almost seemed a like a war between a cat and a dog. Well, at least the dog was present, or should he say semi present, because Sirius was becoming drunker by the minute. You could tell, as the questions were becoming more and more ridiculous, and none of them meant for more than one person really.
Still it amused him to watch them all flounder around. Remus yawned, and took another sip of from the bottle. The marauders were pretty much on first term bases with the Hogwarts house elves.

James had stopped drinking once Sirius and Lily had began focusing on each other and spouting questions that really had no reason being in a game about things you've never done. His eyes flicked back and forth between the pair, and he eased back, looping wide behind Lily to drop down beside Remus, leaning in to whisper out of the corner of his mouth.
"Is it just me or are they goin' off the deep end?" he asked. "I've never seen Sirius this blasted before."
Or this interested in Lily, he added silently, working hard to keep a disgruntled look off his face.

Sirius drank again to meeting a house elf. He owned one, and he was also on friendly terms with the kitchen elves. By this point, Sirius was quite oblivious to what was going on around him. A house elf could probably come and dance on his head then light it on fire for all he'd notice.
"I've never..." and he straightened up suddenly, looking a little better, but then took a turn for the worse, slumped further down the wall, and fell sideways into Remus' lap. "Someone elses can t-take there spin," he said, mumbling into Remus' leg, and drooling a little for good measure.

James just watched as Sirius descended into a mumbling heap in Remus' lap, slightly disturbed at the thought that maybe Sirius had planned where to land all along. But that seemed highly unlikely... he had been far too interested in Lily all night and just thinking that Sirius played that side of the fence... Well that was just way too creepy even for James.
He looked back at Lily, looking slightly sloshed herself, then down at his bottle. This whole situation as getting out of control, but who was he to stop what Sirius started?
"All right, how about... I have never had a gay in the homosexual way thought," he said, giving Sirius a sidelong glance. Dear god, he really hoped he drank to that.

Sirius was so out of his mind now that it took him several seconds longer than it should have to register James' statement.
When he had, though, he was slightly panicked. It hadn't always been this way. It was only recently that he was growing more and more confused. It wasn't that he found guys as a whole attractive, far from it. He really hadn't found many girls attractive either to be honest. He could see the good qualities in both sexes, but even though he played up his sex-god act, he really didn't hold looks to be much on the 'how-good-of-a-person-are-you' scale. And unfortunately, many of the girls (most of the girls in Hogwarts) that fancied him simply weren't quality people behind the pretty faces.
Taking an abnormally long time to complete his thoughts with quite the vacant look on his face, he still hadn't come to a conclusion. He hadn't ever actually sat down and thought that this was what it really was that he was feeling before this moment. Maybe I should just end the game? Sirius thought, except that would look guiltier than just drinking, which he could possibly just pass off as simply being too out of it to concentrate on the game.
Screw it, I don't want to think anymore, and Sirius, not having to reach out for the bottle seeing as he had drunken from it so many times during this game that he found it foolish to bother putting it down, drunkenly pressed it to his lips and tipped it so he got a rather large mouthful, while at the same time managing to spill some down his shirt.

Oh god. ohhh god.
"Well, I think thats enough of that for tonight," Remus said as he grabbed the bottle out of Sirius' hands. Not that it would matter, the bottle was nearly drained anyway. Bloody hell he was just drunk. Please, please let that last sip have been cause he was just drunk.
Remus grabbed Sirius' shoulders and hoisted him back up so he was leaning back against the wall, and then stood up. He threw a questioning look at James before saying, "Well mates, I've had enough, err... merriment for the night. If you don't mind, I'll be heading to bed now!"
Damn, they were in the dorm. Oh well, he'd just grab an armchair or something downstairs tonight. Hell, maybe even the tub. Anything to get outta there then. He began gathering up his things and snatched a blanket off his own four poster before descending the stair case, only swaying a bit from the influence of alcohol.
