The Little Things
Hey!
I'm really only updating right now because I wanted to write about Lily getting drunk.
Thanks again to all those who reviewed, and especially to Sam and Talking-Rock!
I don't know how good this will end up being, because I really don't know how to write a drunk Lily....
Oh, well, here goes nothing!

Drunk
Sixth Year
Alice and Mary wanted Lily to go to Hogsmeade with them.
Lily wanted to study for exams.
Alice and Mary threatened to destroy Lily's study guide.
Lily gave in.
The three girls went to Hogsmeade.
They went to the shops they normally went to, but Lily wasn't having as much fun as normal. She still wanted to be studying.
Finally, the three girls went to the Three Broomsticks.
It seemed like everyone was there, including James and the Marauders.
Mary went to go order the drinks.
Mary returned with three butterbeers and set them down in front of the girls.
"Cheers," she said, and the three of them raised their glasses and drank deeply.
Lily coughed. Her drink tasted strange. It didn't taste like normal butterbeer.
Lily told the others about this.
Mary quickly explained that this was a new flavor of butterbeer that the Three Broomsticks was testing.
Lily shrugged and accepted this explanation. She liked this new flavor.
Lily drained her glass quickly, and said she'd go up for more.
Mary quickly stepped in, saying she'd do it, and Lily wouldn't even have to pay, it was on her.
Lily drank six more butterbeers.
Then she began acting weird.
Lily struck up conversations with random people she had never met before.
Lily sang mainstream Muggle songs. Badly.
Lily danced around and tripped a lot, acting very clumsy.
Lily got really loud. But loud in a friendly way, not loud like when she used to yell at and curse James.
Lily began doing random magic, changing people's hair colors, burning off their eyebrows, levitating chairs, and other such weird things.
Alice and Mary took Lily's wand away.
"But I waaaaant it!" Lily whined.
"No, Lily, you we'll let you have your wand back when the Sobriety Fairy visits you, okay?" Mary cooed.
"Sobriety Fairy? What?" Alice asked.
Mary took Alice out of Lily's earshot (not that it mattered, Lily had begun attempting to touch her nose with her tongue, ignoring everything else).
"I kinda, sorta had them spike Lily's drinks."
"You WHAT?"
"She was being so uptight about the tests, I just thought she should loosen up a bit!"
"No wonder her drinks tasted weird! And no wonder you kept buying them, not letting her do it!"
Mary stared at her feet sheepishly.
"Look what you've done to her!"
Lily had given up trying to touch her tongue to her nose, and was instead running around the place, feeling people's hair.
Her friends tried to stop her before she got to James, but it was too late.
"Hiiiiii Paames Jotter!"
"Um, hello, Lily," James said, confused.
"Can I feel your hair?"
"What?"
Lily ran her fingers through James' hair anyway.
"Oooh, you have niiice hair, no wonder you put your hand in it so often."
"What's wrong with her?" James asked Alice and Mary, who had just arrived.
"Mary got her drunk."
"You WHAT?!?"
"Just spiked her butterbeer a little bit."
Lily was now trying to lick her elbow. When she realized that this could not be done, she settled with licking James' elbow instead.
"A little bit? Really?"
"Well, yeah, it's not my fault she liked it enough to have seven drinks."
"SEVEN?!? You should have stopped her!"
Lily grew bored of licking James' elbow, and looked at his face. She liked his face.
"Heeeeey, you're really cute," Lily said to James, flirtatiously.
James looked at her in obvious delight, then remembered her inebriated state, and took control of the situation.
"Look, Lily, we need to get you back to the school."
"School?"
"Yes, Lils, school. It's this way, come on, now." James led Lily out of the Three Broomsticks and back towards Hogwarts.
"Schoool.... Are you a professor? You look like one."
"I look like a professor to you?"
"Yeah, with the glasses. Oooh, you have pretty eyes behind those glasses."
"Thank you. I mean, c'mon, let's go, we have to get up to the school."
"So are you a professor?"
"Umm...yeah. Yes, Miss Evans, I am."
"Really? What do you teach?"
"Er...Transfiguration."
"Oh. I'm not that good at Transfiguration, Professor Jotter. Sorry."
"Well, that's okay, I might just have to fail you."
"Aww...but professor, I'd do anything for an O," Lily said seductively, and winked.
James blinked and stopped walking. Lily, who had been using James as a support, kept walking, and, thus, fell over. He hastened to help her up.
James thought about what she had just said. He thought about his options here...then he realized that he had to do the right thing, because taking advantage of Lily in her drunken state was oh so very wrong.
"Now, now, Miss Evans, we can discuss your grade later. Now let's get back to the school, shall we?"
Lily nodded and smiled enthusiastically.
James, after much time and struggling, finally got Lily back to school. Since he couldn't go to the girls dorms to take care of Lily, he tucked her into his own bed, and conjured up a sleeping bag for himself, so he could lie next to Lily and help her if she needed anything.
-----
The next morning, Lily woke up with a terrible hangover.
And in James Potter's bed.
She groaned and clutched her forehead.
James took care of her until she was well enough to leave and yell at her "friends."
Lily thanked James for everything he had done for her in her drunken and hung-over state.
Of course, "thanked James" is a euphemism for "gave James a kiss."
James had never been happier.
Well, there's drunken Lily. I sure hope I did her justice there.
That chapter was actually really fun to write, but the ending seemed a little weird to me. Oh well.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter, thanks for reading, don't forget to review, and I'll see you all the next time I update, hopefully tomorrow.
