Lily wiped sleep out of her eyes and sat up. Alyson, Tara and Phoebe were already up and sitting in a small circle, gossiping, more than likely about the party the night before. Tara was the picture of health in baggy denim jeans, a red top with ¾ length sleeves and her hair neatly brushed and tucked behind her ears. Alyson was paler than usual but noting too noticeable. Phoebe, however, looked as if she had been rolled over by a truck several times and Lily could only guess she looked the same, if not worse. The party had been brilliant! Although the last hour or two were a little hazy in Lily's mind, partly due to the 8 blue cocktails she'd had and partly due to her tiredness.
"Morning Lils," sang out Tara, sounding much too happy for…(Lily grabbed her clock)…10:30 on a Saturday morning. Lily groaned and dumped the clock on the floor next to her bed. She grunted a "good morning" to her friends before trudging over to the mirror to check the damage. She groaned on looking at her reflection. Mascara was smeared all the way from under her eyes to almost her mid-cheek, making her look a bit like a panda. She had purplish bags under her eyes and her lips were cracked and swollen.
"Ughhhhhhhh," she grumbled. A soft knock at the door made her jump slightly and Shannon's head popped around. She too looked perfectly healthy and happy. Lily remembered her parents roaring drunkenness and extreme inability to drive/fly or apparate home. That must have been the reason they were still at Shannon's house.
"Morning," said Shannon, softly. "The boys stayed over as well. We're going to Diagon Alley in a little while and we just wondered if you wanted to come?"
"We'll follow you," Lily told her, glancing at her reflection again. Shannon nodded and retreated, shutting the door behind her.
"That was a brilliant party last night, Lil," proclaimed Tara.
"Naomi's parties always are," Lily said for at least the second time in two days.
Two hours later Lily and the gang felt refreshed enough to follow Shannon and the boys to Diagon Alley.
"The wonders of make-up will never cease," interposed Phoebe, staring at her newly made up face in the window of Honeydukes. She looked as healthy as ever, with the help of Alyson's wonderful make-up skills. "I love you Ally!" she exclaimed, hugging her friend. Alyson screamed.
"Get off me, Phoebs." And so she ran down the street, Phoebe following her arms outstretched.
"Lunatics," muttered Lily. "Pure and utter lunatics." Tara was too busy waving fiercely to someone (who turned out to be Remus) down the street. She skipped happily down towards him and he hugged her tightly and kissed her lightly on the lips when she reached him. It was sweet contemplated Lily. They really were the most loved up couple she knew. Well besides James and Shannon she thought darkly, glancing over to where they sat on a bench, arms wrapped around each other.
"Hi guys," Lily said, as she approached them.
"Hey Lils," Sirius and Remus said, simultaneously. "How are you?" Their grins were a bit too wide for Lily's liking.
"I'm good," she answered, warily. "Why?"
"Have a good time last night?" Sirius queried, innocently.
"Yea." Lily nodded. "The party was good."
"How about the company?" Sirius said, waggling his eyebrows. Phoebe hit him on the arm and Lily rolled her eyes.
"Oh," she said, understanding. "That. Yes the company WAS good, thanks very much for asking." Lily and Stephan had pretty much been wrapped around each other all night, like hamsters on a cold morning. "How about you?" she asked, wickedly. Likewise Phoebe and Sirius had been with each other on and off all night, kissing like there was no tomorrow. Phoebe blushed slightly at this comment.
"Excellent," Sirius said, adopting a posh air. "Simply excellent." He turned and waggled his eyebrows at Phoebe who immediately hit him over the head, followed by Lily about two seconds later.
"Come on," Alyson demanded. "I'm cold and I want something to warm me up." And so the group trooped into Honeydukes and drank butterbeer after butterbeer to warm themselves up. Tara was perched on Remus' lap and the pair were whispering what the others could only imagine to be sweet nothings into each others ears. James' arm was draped around Shannon who was leaning against him. Both were half asleep. Sirius and Phoebe were having arguments and making up with kisses every three seconds or so and Peter had disappeared with the girl he had been dancing with the night before. So that left Alyson and Lily.
"Come on let's go shopping," Alyson said to Lily. "There's a cute boutique just down the road and you can get the most amazing clothes there, muggle or wizard. It's where I got my black skirt, you know the one I was wearing last night?" Lily nodded and downed the last of her butterbeer before standing up and slipping on her coat.
"I've got to get some last minute Christmas presents as well," she commented. "Christmas completely slipped my mind this year!" Alyson nodded.
"I've got to get something for Phoebe," she added. "She's the HARDEST person to shop for!"
"I got her the coolest earrings," Lily said as they walked out. "Their seriously funky." And they walked down the street, Lily describing what sounded like the ideal present for Phoebe.
