The worst hangover

When Lily reached her apartment she dropped the quilt and headed straight for the shower. She spent 30 minutes of scrubbing and cleaning her self thoroughly, all the while cursing herself, trying amongst hope to remember what had happened the night before.

She had remembered that there was a storm, a dark storm looming over forewarning her of what was to happen. As she got out the shower, dried herself and put on the first set of clothes she could find, she decided that she needed something for this killer headache. How much had she actually drunk last night?

Why did she get so drunk in the first place? And with Professor Potter? Images slowly made there way back to her as she made up a potion for her head.

The burning of her ring...

Professor Dumbledore's fear stricken face...

The Prewetts James covering the Prewetts, they were... dead.

That's why she had been with James and that's why she had gotten so drunk, she just wanted to forget. But now she was in a worse situation then ever.

Looking at her watch she knew that she would be late to class this morning, but she didn't really care. She highly doubted the professor would be at her throat today.

Something suddenly dawned on her however. Looking around her room Lily saw the duvet she had brought with her as to cover herself, she hadn't however brought her clothes back. She didn't really want to have to go back for it. So she decided to cut her loses and let him keep them. Now she fully regretted wearing her favourite underwear that day.

Shaking her head softly (as her headache still hadn't gone completely) she apperated to class. She walked through the door to find the entire class already sitting, and a very rough looking Professor Potter at the head.

"Miss Evans I do hope you are not going to make a habit of being late to class. It gets rather boring having the same person in detention so often." Potter spoke dryly.

"I would have thought you'd like my company by now, considering the amount of detentions you give me!" She shot back. He'd have to be careful today. As she was not in a good mood and therefore her comments would be harsher then usual. "Oh shit!" She suddenly exclaimed. She didn't know where her book bag was. She had either left it at the Aurour HQ or Potters house. The class was looking at her questionably, but Potter was smirking at her.

"Heavy night last night I take it." He smiled spitefully. "I suppose you are wondering at this point where you have left your book bag?" Oh no, he wouldn't. He couldn't tell the whole class where she had left it. Oh shit. "You rushed out of class so quickly yesterday you must have left it here. I found it later on when I was tidying the room." He covered for her. She had left the room with him yesterday so she knew it couldn't be true. "Here you go." He said handing it to her. "It's not like you use it anyway."

She opened it, and for once took her books out straight away. She really didn't feel like arguing. She noticed a large puffy envelope in there. She took it out slightly and read the label on the front.

OPEN WHEN YOU ARE AT HOME! ALONE!!

She placed it back curiosity arisen inside her.

"As I explained yesterday we will be discussing and looking into common night time injuries as well as nocturnal bites, breeds and maladies..."

Lily let James' voice drown on. She couldn't keep her mind on topic. There were things which happened the previous day that she still couldn't remember, in fact there was something important which she was struggling to grasp hold of. She had put it to the side previously, not letting it over ride her professionalism.

As Lily was thinking she failed to notice James' glares at her every now and again for not paying attention- or that's what he was telling himself.

"Miss Evans would you care to repeat what I was just explaining about werewolf bites and how to treat them." Lily looked up and stared at him. She hadn't been listening, but she could take a good guess at what he was saying.

"If one stumbles across a werewolf and is unfortunate enough to be bitten, the said person will also become a werewolf. There is little a healer can do to help the person in question, other then clean and seal the wound preventing them from getting any other infection which could cause the patient to die. To this day there is no cure for a werewolf but potions which can help are being developed." James smiled at her.

"Well done Miss Evans, completely correct." Lily smirked at him for picking on her because she wasn't listening. She had come out better. "However, had you been listening you would have known that I was talking about and you would have known that I had not yet said a word about werewolves but instead I was talking about Hinkypunks. Do pay attention." Lily rolled her eyes at him, as there was a soft knock at the door.

Remus Lupin stepped in, he was pale from the night before, having just been released from Madame Pomfrey's care. Lily felt something coming back to her, something she remembered from the night before. Had Remus been there? How did she know he was pale from the night before. Ow that was right she had treated him....

Oh Merlin...

Laying on the third bed lifeless was none other then Remus Lupin. James gasped as he looked down at one of his oldest and most trusted friends.

Lily was about to go for an open wound when James stopped her.

"No Lily Wait!" Lily looked at him questionably. "Put some gloves on and make sure you don't come into direct contact with his blood. He's a werewolf."

A werewolf?

Remus Lupin was a werewolf?

Suddenly Lily felt unbearably heavy headed, her headache potion was wearing off and all the information was coming back at her at once.

The storm.

Waking up next to James.

The Prewetts dead.

Remus a werewolf.

Storm

James

Prewetts

Werewolf

James

Prewetts

Werewolf

She was feeling dizzy and her mind was over loading.

She hadn't had breakfast and the potion she had taken was intended to be taken with food.

Spinning, the room was spinning.

She stood and began to walk for the door- she needed fresh air.

"Miss Evans?" She heard her teacher question in the distance. She reached for the door, but her legs gave way before she touched it.

"LILY!" Someone shouted. It was the last thing she remembered before all went black.

"LILY!" James had shouted. For some reason she had gotten out of her seat heading for the door. He would have had a go at her for disrupting the class had she not looked so deathly pale.

She was pale and was walking unsteadily, She was going to faint. James had witnessed those symptoms countless times before. He jumped forewords and not a second too soon as she fell back into his embrace.

"Moony, transfigure that desk into a bed for us." He ordered and Remus did so. James lifted the lifeless girl up onto the bed.

"Now class." James began with a smirk. "This is a prime example of basic healing. First can anyone tell me how I knew she was going to faint?" A few hands went up and James pointed to a small girl.

"She was pale, going for air, she was unsteady on her feet, he head was most probably in a cold sweat and she was less responsive then she normally would have been."

"Well done Miss Myres." The girl beamed up at him. "Now what we have to do is make sure she hasn't hit her head, which in this case she didn't as she was caught, and then we say the simple spell 'Eneverate'" The class repeated the spell. "Good, she should wake up, it really depends on how serious the cause of her fainting is. Eneverate." He pointed his wand at the pale body of the girl in front of him.

Slowly her eyes fluttered open, the glimmer they usually held was not showing. Her hand went to her head. "What happened?" She asked sftly as she tried to sit up. James pushed her back down.

"Don't move, you fainted. I'm taking it you have a headache and if you sit up to fast you will become dizzy and faint on us again."

"Us...?" She questioned looking round and seeing the rest of the class. "Oh gosh how embarrassing." She gasped laying back down.

"Now class notice that her breathing is becoming more even and steady, and check her heart beat to make sure it is at a steady rhythm." He went to check her heart beat, but she swatted his hand away.

"Get off me Potter." She snapped sitting up quickly only to fall back down again.

"Miss Evans if you would just be patient. I may be your teacher but I am also a healer I know what I'm doing. Your body has just gone through a shock and I need to figure out why it happened."

"Well let me tell you then, I stupidly took a headache potion this morning because I felt rather rough due to circumstances I do not wish to discuss. I was also in quite a rush due to the same problem and I didn't get anything to eat. The potion I made was supposed to be taken with food so your stomach is lined correctly. That would be why I fainted. Now did you have to heal me in front of the class?"

"It was a great learning opportunity." James smirked.

"Glad to help." She said back sarcastically.

"Remus would you mind taking Miss Evans to get some fresh air. Then she can either come back to class or go home which ever she feels more able to do."

"I'll see you again in a minute then." She replied stubbornly. Remus took her hand and helped her up slowly.

"Wait." James said. He went into his stock cupboard and pulled out a potion. "Take this, and for Merlin's sake make sure you eat something." Snatching the potion and grabbing her bag off the floor she left.

James continued with his lecture to the class.

When they got outside, Remus made Lily sit down, then went to the cafeteria to get he a sandwich. When he came back he forced her to eat it. She felt sick but let him, as she knew it would help.

"Thanks for last night by the way." Remus smiled delicately. Suddenly Lily realised who was with her. Remus Lupin- The werewolf.

"You're a werewolf!" She gasped. Remus smiled softly and nodded.

"I'm a werewolf, and you still helped me." He replied. "James and Dumbledore trust me."Slowly she began to understand and she began to digest the information. "The only difference between me and you is that I transform into a hideous beast once a month..." Lily began laughing.

"And that you have a Willie and I don't, and I have other parts and you don't." He began laughing with her childish nature.

"Does that mean that you're not scared of me?" He smiled.

"No but I'm mad at you for making me laugh- it does nothing for my headache!" She said holding her head and slapping him lightly.

"Hey!" He grinned "You made yourself laugh!"

"What are you doing here anyway?" Lily asked curiously.

"Oh I'm here to assess James. You know how well he teaches, how he interacts with the students."

"So that's how he's kept this job so long!" Lily laughed. "I'm just joking, he actually isn't really a bad teacher."

"Well I've never seen anyone talk to him like you do, not even the professors at Hogwarts were so bold. You handle him well." Lily blushed, and grinned to herself- she had sure handled him well last night, or so she remembered. Thinking about James another thought came to her mind- The envelope.

She quickly went into her bag and pulled it out. Remus looked at her curiously.

She opened the paper flap and peeped inside.

"Ahh!" She squeaked mentally hitting herself for not guessing the obvious.

"Whats that?" Remus asked trying to peek. Lily quickly pulled the envelope away from him and sealed it again, shoving it back into her bag.

She didn't want Remus of all people knowing that James had given her an envelope containing her own underwear, he assessed James.

"It's personal!" She replied quickly. "I think I am able to go back to class now, thank you for helping me."

"No problem. No more then you did for me last night." Remus took lily back to her class and left for the head's office. He had told James what he needed to tell him.

Lily walked into the classroom. She was suprised for the first time no sarcastic comment was made. James just let her walk in and re take her seat.

In fact the rest of the class ran smoothly. And there was not one argument between the professor and the petite red head.

When James finally dismissed the class after the extended day (which he now regretted setting immensely) He looked around and hesitantly said;

"Miss Evans, a word please." She looked at him questionably and when everyone left, asked;

"What's wrong?"

"Are you feeling better now?" He said worry filling his eyes.

Lily was startled and slowly nodded her head. "Yes, I think I'm ok now. Just a tiny headache. Guess I'm not used to drinking the amount I drunk last night." This statement caused a different look to come across James' face.

"Yeah, about last night. Lily I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to go that far. Hell I didn't mean for it to go at all."

"I know what you mean. We were both drunk, both in consent. It was both our faults. This morning, I guess it just took me by surprise."

"Me too. Don't worry it's not as if we're actually attracted to one another, it just... happened. It will never happen again and we're the only ones who even know- so I won't tell anyone and I don't think you'll tell anyone... you won't tell anyone will yo..." James stopped talking not out of choice, but by the fact that Lily had leant up and forcefully taken his lips with her own. Pushing him back up on to the desk behind him. He put his arms around the back of her, his hand on her rear holding her between his legs and deepening the kiss.

As they pulled apart looking into each other's eyes and breathing heavily, James realised what had just happened- and this time they were sober.

"What was that for?" He asked confused.

"You were babbling." Lily started, then with a look, which clearly stated she didn't know if she wanted to tell him said; "And you looked cute and sounded so sweet- that you were trying to make me feel better and I just couldn't resist."

James just looked at her not knowing what to say and what to do.

"So now what?" He asked.

"Could we forget about it? And maybe go on as if it didn't happen... or something?" Lily replied in all of one breath.

"Sure..." James started as he got off the desk brushing past her to get some distance. Lily held her breath as he did so. "I mean you do have a boyfriend and It's not as if we could take it any further anyway because I'm your professor and..." He was shoved back against the desk Lily climbing upon him.

James smiled at her turning their position and freeing himself from her kisses.

"I thought you didn't want to?" He asked breathlessly. Concern filling his gaze. "What about the rules?"

"Stick the rules I've stuck by them for far too long! I want you, I need you. I've spent the entire day trying to convince myself otherwise."

"Oh thank merlin I thought it was just me. Since you left this morning I haven't been able to think of anything else." He paused. "Are you sure? This could cause us so many problems, I could be fired, and you could be expelled. Your boyfriend is the minister for magic's son? Are you sure?" Lily nodded her head her smile widening. "Then I believe." James said standing up and reaching for his wand. "I need to give you another detention Miss Evans." He pointed his wand at the door and locked it. Then he extinguished all of the candles save one set.

Lily laid back on the desk as James proceeded to discipline her. Apparently Lines were not a worthy punishment in this case.
