Bugger

[HappyReader]

A short piece based on events that happened to my Dad on his last birthday. What would Albus be like drunk?

Bugger!

Albus Dumbledore was incredibly drunk. With a party hat set jauntily on his head as he caroused about the room, he was singing a rendition of ‘Delilah’ by the muggle crooner Tom Jones, except instead of ‘Delilah’ he substituted the name ‘Minerva’.
“‘Why, why, why, Minerva?’” sang the completely blotto Headmaster. The woman herself had spent the last twenty minutes trying to get his attention.
“Albus! Enough already! Everyone else has retired to bed except you!”
He stopped what he was doing and blinked at her in surprise.
“Wha’?” Looking around the empty staff room, he was indeed the only remaining person apart from Minerva. The only other beings were the half-dozen house elves cleaning up after a party the staff held for Professor Sinistra’s birthday. “You mean--? Well how about tha’! I am th’ las’ one standing! I believe a congrat’latory drink is in order…” Albus unsteadily reached for a unopened champagne bottle from a passing house elf but was stopped by Minerva.
“STOP!”
He stopped immediately and swayed where he stood.
“Come here.”
Obediently he staggered towards Minerva, more out of conditioning than of his own volition. Minerva placed one of his arms around her shoulders and Albus leaned upon her. They started tottering for the exit.
“You must get to sleep if you are to go to work tomorrow Albus.”
He scowled and removed his arm from her. “Bugger th’ work.”
“Albus! You are the Headmaster of Hogwarts, the most prestigious school in wizarding Europe! At least think of your young charges!”
He folded his arms and pouted. “Bugger th’ kids.”
“And what about Fawkes, hmmn? Who will feed him?”
There was silence from Albus. With a teary smile he said, “I love my Fawkes.”
Minerva sighed and tugged him along to his quarters.

[BlazeFourPaws]

Oh I read this on FanFiction.net I still think its adorable. It is exactly what I needed on a day from hell.

[tayryn]

ROTFLMAO!!!

i can so relate to Albus in the 'been there done that'... gotten so happily drunk... and saying, 'bugger it all...' then having that 'i love my Fawkes' moment!

hee!!

tis great!!

[Jaya]

I've never been this drunk... (I've never actually been drunk at all) but I've seen my husband completely snockered... and he acted just like this... right down to the 'bugger!' (He was British)...

This is TOO CUTE!!!!!!

[doctormadwoman]

Albus:"C-c-co-ffee....neeeeed....COFFEE...."

[Drake]

Ha ha! Albus drunk! Yipee for him!

[StormAngel]

loL!! Will there be more?

[twinkle]

I just had to consult my "Oxford" about bugger. Of course I could figure out the meaning ^^ but I was curious about the description of this word.
I think I now have a new favourite... next to "dust bunnies" ;o))

Very cute story... it reminded me of my uncle who became all childish once and insisted that all sweets left were his. I'll never forget his chant of "Meine Snickers" ^^
I'd like to see if there is more of the story to be revealed *looking expectant*

[McGonagallsGirl]

Yeah , I agree. You're pretty much not gunna be allowed to leave it off there.

Continue. Now.

Stop reading this and start writing.

Thanks.

Bye.

[laundry basket]

Lol, that's me when I'm drunk... *enters dream*

"Bugger water. Bugger sleep. OMG! I CAN'T BUGGER MY CHOCOLATE!"

Tee-hee... sorry 'bout that. But this was funny, and I agree, you can't leave off there.

[ιady ταвz]

hehe...nice one

[mmadlyinlove]

LOL! "I love my Fawkes"... LOL! ~mmadlyinlove~

[Aeronnen]

“I love my Fawkes.” weird - ina good way, lol. We generally try not to let Dad get that drunk, because he has drive home P:) What a ficlet!

[tartanmin]

Minerva is so sweet and kind to him..
And Albus, well bugger

[beMMADfabulous]

Minerva's so sweet. This was hilarious. Great job.

[The Anglophile]

Oh, god, I love it. It's hysterical. Is it going to continue? *pokes encouragingly*

[MinervaMcGonagall]

LOL. It's kind of hard for me to imagine Albus that drunk though.

[MinnieQuill]

Oh dear, that's me drunk...
Except I believe (my memory is a bit hazy) the conversation was more like:

"C'mon, let's get you to bed."

"Don't wanna."

"No, arguing, c'mon, into bed."

"No!" *tries to turn, walks into wall and falls down stairs - yes, I'm serious*

"Get back here!"

"Head. Pain. Comfy floor..."

"You are NOT sleeping there!"

"Goway."

"But, no, get up...there's chocolate in your bed."

"Wha?"

"Nice, chocolate..."

"Mars Bar?"

"And Picnic, and Snickers..."

"Mmmm, chocolate..."

And the rest, as they say, is history. lol. I woke up, and there was a handwritten drawing of three chocolate bars.

So the fact this fic is kinda accurate is really scary...but funny
