Pay Attention Jauregui! (Harry Potter!AU)

Chapter 6

There were voices...that much she could make out at least, male and female and if pushed Lauren could also confess she vaguely recognized them, but it was like trying to hear when you emerge from underwater, everything was sort of muffled. It would help if she opened her eyes she supposed, that way at least faces could be put to the voices but...she was aching all over, although the pain seemed worse around the back of her head and between the legs...what the hell had happened?

Frowning she thought back and gradually flashes of memory returned. Walking with Camila, sitting under the tree, holding hands...finally getting the courage to ask the girl on a date and the surge of joy when the Gryffindor agreed.

Walking back to pick up her forgotten robes, but then what...oh wait! That was it, voices down by the boathouse, Shawn, a nervous Shawn, she'd been concerned and headed towards him. She frowned for a long moment the ache in the base of her skull seeming to intensify as she approached the conclusion of what had happened.

A spell...about to hit Shawn, so she'd stepped in and then what?

She sat bolt upright suddenly her eyes flashing open and she searched the room until she found the hazel eyes of the very nervous looking Austin.

"You...Idiot!"

If it weren't for the pounding headache keeping her on the sofa she was lying on, she would have leapt up and wrapped her hands around his throat. A pair of hands however stopped her and looking to the side she saw the concerned eyes of her best friend...well mostly concerned, there was also a hint of humor because it was Normani Kordei after all. "Easy there slugger!"

Lauren glared at Austin one more time and allowed Normani to push her back into a sitting position, massaging her temples lightly with a thumb and forefinger she blew out a breath before managing to speak between gritted teeth.

"Why the hell am I in the Slytherin common room instead of the infirmary, I need to get rid of...of the... the mistake Austin made!"

At which point the male Slytherin frowned and looked affronted, as far as he was concerned if Jauregui hadn't stepped in the path of the spell it would have worked and he could have made a fortune. Sadly he probably should have kept his thought in his head.

"Hey, it's not my fault you blundered in with your size eights Jauregui, besides which most guys would be pleased to have a cock that big. I did a damn good job!"

Two seconds after the sentence left his mouth, he realized his mistake and leapt for the door as Lauren whipped her wand up and yelled after his fleeing form.

"Densaugeo"

The bolt of the spell hit Austin as he pelted up from the dungeon common room, they could hear his yelps of pain as his teeth started to grow uncontrollably. Normani smirked then turned back to the Ravenclaw.

"Okay we got a situation here, a real big one, if you'll pardon the pun...chances are if we got to McGonagall we can get it reversed but then we have to tell her how it happened, and as mad as you are at those buffoons I know you wouldn't want them to have their wands taken away."

Lauren's sculpted eyebrow rose threateningly and she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Correction, maybe right now you do want that but you know you would end up regretting it...and it was an accident Lo."

Finally the rage and embarrassment faded from the green eyes and she sighed.

"Well what are we meant to do then Mani! I can't go around with this in my pants for the rest of my life, I mean I don't even like them on other people, the last place I want one is on me!"
