Faeryn groaned in pain and cradled her head, shielding her eyes from the light shining through the window of the common room.

"Urghh, shut up," she grumbled, turning over the press her head into the red couch cushion. Her head was pounding, and she was sure if she stood up she would double over and puke out all of her internal organs.

"Rise and shine, you mother fuckers!" Roared Marlene, way too cheerful for this time of day. She smacked the back of Faryns head, eliciting yelps from both her and Remus, who was splayed on the ground across the room.

Faeryn had very little recollection of the last night and wanted nothing more than to fall back asleep and never wake up again. Too tired.

She felt someone shifting under her legs, just a second ago she was too dazed to notice her legs were even on someone. She hesitantly pried open her eyes, smiling when she realized it was the girl she had kissed the previous night.

She slowly lifted her head, turning to face the girl. "Morning," she said groggily, wincing when she realized how unattractive her voice sounded. The girl smiled back.

"Hi," she said with a small smile, swiping her bangs out from her eyes. Holding her hand over her mouth as she yawned.

Faeryn was unsure how she ended up back in the common room, she last remembered playing a very exposing game of 'veritaserum or dare' but had no memory of anything after that.

The girl awkwardly scratched her neck and cleared her throat, "So uh, I feel bad asking this but, what's your name?" her face warmed up in embarrassment.

Faeryn inwardly sighed in relief, for she had no idea what the Ravenclaws name was, either. She flashed her a reassuring smile, "Faeryn Lupin. You?" she asked, sitting up further and taking her legs off of the other girl's thighs.

The girl visibly relaxed, chuckling a little to herself, "Kris Welch, nice to 'meet' you."

Kris glanced at the clock, jumping up when she saw the time. She looked back at Faeryn with wide eyes, cheeks flushing pink. "So, I know Hogsmeade isn't for another few weeks, but would you maybe want to go with me?" she asked.

Faeryn beamed at her, "Of course!" she said with a big girn on her face.

Kris grinned back, "Great! I should probably get back to Ravenclaw Tower, so... see you later I guess." she smiled, and wobbled out of the portrait hole.

She rolled her eyes when Sirius wolf-whistled, flashing her middle finger and turning her face back into the cushion of the couch.

James watched the whole encounter with an unexplainable knot in his stomach. Must be the hangover, he thought.

Remus was freaking out.

He kissed Sirius Black last night. Full-on snogged him.

And that caused a large group of butterflies to find their home in his stomach.

And then the butterflies were viciously ripped apart and killed by one sentence that flowed out of the same mouth he had kissed only hours prior.

"I don't even remember anything that happened after that drinking game I played." Sirius groaned.

Sirius was lying, of course. In fact, he painfully remembered everything that happened last night, in a scary amount of detail.
