That turned out to be harder to actually put into practice, as the days following Christmas and the Yule Ball quickly sped up faster than Harry could keep up with. The New Year came and went with little fanfare barring another night of drinking with the Quidditch team and Lee Jordan, though this time Harry didn’t go all out like he had last time. For some reason, he liked Firewhiskey the more he drank it, and he wondered if he’d been an alcoholic in a past life. So wisely (and with Hermione’s nagging), Harry limited himself despite Fred and George’s teasing.
