Lady Stardust

16. Distractions

January 18

Ariene woke up that morning holding Marlene. She was completely shocked at first, but then remembered the events of last night, and instead focussed on the unbearable pain in her forehead. She tried to get up, and then realized that the others were awake.

"Shit," She whispered, under her breath. Marlene stirred. She was a beautiful sight, half naked and asleep in Ariene's bed. Ariene had other worries, though. She tried her best to focus with the awful pain in her forehead. Accio clothes. Nothing. Accio clothes! Still nothing.

"For fucks sake!" She blurted, frustrated. She covered her mouth.

"Ariene? What are you-" Sirius pulled the curtain back.

"Sirius!" Ariene shrieked, trying to get something to cover her chest.

"Shit! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, shit, shit!" Sirius said, covering his eyes and turning away. Marlene got up at this and groaned, pressing a hand to her head.

"Ariene? What?" Marlene asked, confused. Ariene gave her a look.

"Marlene?" Sirius asked, opening his eyes again.

"Sirius!" Ariene groaned.

"Shit! I'm sorry! Bloody hell, Ariene," he said. Ariene yanked the curtain closed and covered her face in embarrassment.

"What the hell happened?" She heard James ask Sirius.

"I saw Ariene's, er, bosoms,"

"Sirius Black!" Ariene yelled, her face even redder. Marlene snorted, and Ariene snapped her head to her. "Is this funny to you!?" Ariene asked.

"Hm?" James asked.

"I wasn't talking to you," Ariene said through the curtain.

"Who were you talking to then?" She heard James ask.

"Marlene," Sirius blurted out.

"I'm going to fucking kill you, Black." Ariene said. Marlene was now in a fit of giggles. This was too much for a hangover.

Ariene went to breakfast with a god-awful headache. She could tell that she wasn't the only one; almost everyone at the Gryffindor table seemed to be on edge. Half of them didn't even show up.

"Ariene," Sirius said, nodding.

"Pervert," Ariene said, with an identical nod.

"Hey, how would I have known that you were going to be-"

"Don't say it! Va te faire enculer," Ariene swore at him. Sirius looked up and smiled.

"You think I don't know when you swear? I speak French, salope," Sirius said. Ariene gave him the finger and began buttering some bread. She was secretly shocked that Sirius spoke French, but it figured. Didn't the Blacks come from French heritage?

"I just don't understand how it's the first time that happened. I go around naked in my dorm quite often," Mary said, very casually.

"We know," Lily muttered, looking at her toast.

"Wait, you told her?" Ariene asked Marlene. Marlene nodded, then smiled sheepishly. Ariene grimaced and looked down at her food. She really wasn't sure how much Mary knew.

"Hey, don't be embarrassed. We've all seen each other naked," Peter offered. Ariene glared at him.

"Yeah, why do you think we call him Moony?" Sirius said, looking at Remus with a grin. Remus went red and choked on a bite of his toast. Mary threw her head back in laughter, and Ariene pinched the bridge of her nose.
