TW: Swearing

Bellatrix POV

I woke up the next day hardly remembering last night. I heard Tom groaning and that sent a ringing through my head. "Shut up," I whispered.

"Sorry," He groaned.

Every noise sent a pain through my head. It felt as though I was getting stabbed by tiny needles on the inside of my head and nothing could stop it. "What the fuck happened last night?" I asked. I looked at him with blurred vision, taking in my surroundings as everything slowly got clearer.

"I can't remember a thing," He said. I tried to stretch, wincing and going back to my original position as an ache shot through my body.

"Neither," I whispered, "Did we get obliviated or some shit?"

"Nope, house elves spiked your drinks with something," I heard someone come into our room. The silhouette started walking closer, before being illuminated by the light pouring through the curtains.

"Hey Severus," Tom said. The both of us sat up at the presence of another person, the need to not look like utter shite filling our heads.

"Hello," He said.

"How long have you been here for?" I asked.

"Like, 5 minutes," He said. Honestly, weird he was just sat in our house, probably waiting, for the few minutes he was here, for us to wake up.

"How did we get here?" Tom asked before I got the chance too.

"Yeah, we can't remember a thing," I said

"Narcissa was looking for you, so I helped her look, and we found you in the dining room, asleep on the table, and we just took you here," He said.

Panic flooded my brain as I remembered a slight detail from the previous night. "Were we clothed?" I asked.

"Yes, why?" Sev questioned, squinting his eyes slightly, making his massive ass nose look bigger somehow.

"Oh, no reason," Tom said, looking at me quickly before turning back to Severus.

"Oh for fuck sake, the table?"

"How about we forget about this whole conversation and go down to the living room?" Tom suggested, leaving the three of us looking at each other instead of awkwardly at the floor.

"Yeah, we're going to the living room."

—————

We all went down to the living room and sat on the couch. "Do you want tea Severus?" Tom asked.

"Please,"Sev replied.

Tom went through to the kitchen and came back with three cups of tea a minute later. "Thanks Tom," I said taking a cup.

"Thank you," Sev said, taking his. Tom had just sat down and I finished all my tea.

"Honestly, at this point I wonder why you don't just bring the teapot and stuff with you," I said, getting up to refill my teacup.
