You know the drill: I'm a pauper! I don't own anything! J.K. Rowling deserves all of the credit for characters, places, and stuff like that.
Severus and Poppy went quickly to Rolanda's rooms; the only word spoken the entire time was "silverarrow", the password.
Poppy knelt by the unconscious teacher and performed a Diagnostic Spell, then turned to Severus. "What are you standing way over there for? I've got a potion in my office that will sort her out quite quickly. I'll be right back."
As Poppy began towards the fire, Severus stopped her. "What am I supposed to do?" He asked.
"She could do with some fresh robes, for one. This vomit smells quite bad, so you might want to clean that up, as well." Poppy replied as if it was the obvious thing to do. With that said she sprinkled some Floo Powder over the flames and disappeared to the Hospital Wing.
'What? Why do I have to change her clothes? I- she- oh, Madame Pomfrey!' Severus gulped. "Evanesco!" Severus chanted, thenwent over to Rolanda's dresser and tried to find her a nightshirt.
When he did, he flipped Rolanda over, turned his head, and started to unbutton her shirt. After a few buttons, he stopped, mentally berated himself, and performed a Switching Spell. 'What was I thinking? What if she woke up? What if I had seen something?'
By this time, Poppy had returned with the potion and had administered it accordingly. Severus glared at her. She replied with a questioning look.
"You wanted to get the potion instead?" Poppy asked as she removed Rolanda's boots.
"Well, you are a woman, it would have been better if you had changed her clothes."
"Come help me with getting her on the bed, Locomotor spells don't mix very well with this potion." Poppy said, and then added as an afterthought "It's not like you're interested in women, anyway, why should it matter?"
Severus nearly dropped Rolanda. "What?"
Poppy's eyebrows rose. "You're not gay?"
"No!"
"Ah, well; I can see where you're coming from, then. Did you see anything?"
"I almost did, because the shock of you leaving me to remove the clothes of an attractive woman very nearly caused me to forget about Switching Spells!" Severus gulped and mentally berated himself again for that statement.
"Well, I apologize for putting you in this situation, but I must be heading back to the Hospital Wing to check my Anti-Hangover Potion. Good night."
"Good night." 'She thought I was gay? Fantastic, everything is going great. I hope Rolanda's okay…' Severus decided to go for a walk.
Poppy poured the Anti-Hangover Potion into separate containers, one for each staff member. Her husband came up behind her and gave her a very large hug and kiss before she had time to react.
"Alastor! You scared me!" Poppy returned the hug and kiss tenfold. "Is everything alright?"
"I had some time off, so I came to see you." Alastor smiled as he growled into his wife's shoulder. "I don't have to get back for a while yet. I could do with a shower and some rest, will you join me?"
"For the shower or the rest?" Poppy playfully replied, and Alastor's smile grew wider. "I need to finish some things up before bed."
Alastor kissed her again and set off to get a shower and a change of clothes.
