Loralei woke up the next morning with no hangover whatsoever. She was always good at not getting hangovers though. It must have been the veela in her. She was in one of the hotel's robes, her head on Sirius' chest. They must have fallen asleep after stumbling in from the pool. At least she was out of her soaking wet dress, Sirius seemed the same, except he was only in sweatpants.
Loralei looked around the room. No one else was in it. The other three must have fallen asleep in the other room. Over her quick glance around the room, she saw a glance of herself in the mirror. Black eyeliner smudged, hair looking like a wild mane, and her red lipstick faded, and smudged around her mouth, and some of it on Sirius' face. Loralei laid back down on him, too tired to move just yet. Maybe in an hour.
Loralei didn't wake up for another three hours when Lily was cleaning her face, taking off the faded and smudged makeup with her wand.
"I love you so much." Loralei whispered to her. "How hungover were you this morning?"
Lily sighed, sitting next to Loralei on the bed. Sirius still asleep under Loralei, and next to Lily. "I never want to drink again. What about you?"
Loralei shrugged, sitting up carefully so she didn't wake up her boyfriend. "I feel fine." She had a minor headache, but nothing else to complain about. "Have you ordered room service?"
"What do you think Remus is doing right now?" She replied, grinning. "What do you want to eat?"
"Chicken." Loralei decided. "Something chicken."
"Well good, because I'm sure they're all getting one of everything." Lily told her. "It's the brunch/lunch time, so they're getting some of everything."
"Did you put your order in?" Loralei asked, yawning.
"Yeah, I got waffles." Lily told her. "What do you think he wants?" She jabbed her thumb towards the sleeping Sirius.
"Everything." Loralei told her, smilling. "Now, if you don't mind, I'm going ot brush my teeth, and charm my hair so it doesn't get this bad tonight."
"Wait." Lily stopped her as Loralei started to get up.
Loralei looked at her expectantly, wondering what possibly be bothering Lily so much she had to know right away?
"Why were your clothes wet when you got in? I found them in the shower."
"Oh, we went for a swim after you James, and Remmy left." Loralei told her.
"In your dress?" Lily raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, we didn't really feel like getting changed." Loralei shrugged. "It's no big deal, we were just being lazy."
"Well at least it explains where most of your makeup went, as well as what your hair looks like." Lily told her, touching Loralei's tangled locks.
Loralei pouted. "Fix it for me?"
Lily sighed. "You're better with these sort of spells."
"You've read every issue of Witch Weekly I've ever gotten, you can do it too." Loralei closed her eyes. "I trust you."
Lily sighed as she pulled her wand out of her boot. "Fine." She raised her wand over Loralei's head as she muttered the spell, Loralei's hair looked instantly untangled, though it was wavy from her sleeping on it.
"Thank you!" Loralei sang, jumping up and going to grab some clothes before getting to the bathroom.
When she emerged, Loralei was wearing leggings and layered tank tops. One black spaghetti strap, and one white ribbed tank top. Her leggings were just plain black. Lily stood as Loralei jumped onto the bed next to Sirius.
"Wake up, my love." Loralei sang, shaking him lightly.
A hand reached up to her neck, and scratched it lightly. She tilted her head slightly to give him more access to the side of her neck.
"Even half asleep, I know what you like." He laughed.
"Careful now, love. Lily's in the room. The boys are ordering room service." Loralei whispered.
"Damn it, Lily. I was trying to have a moment with my wonderful Loralei." Sirius sat up. "What time is it?"
"Eleven." Lily told him. "I'll just go into the other room..." She started backing away, and opened the door.
"Have fun!" He called back with a wave as she dove through the doorway.
Loralei laughed. "Well, go get dressed, I'll be right here when you get back."
"Oh, fine." He replied, moving around her so he could get off the bed to stand up. "Be back in a minute."
"You better be." She grinned. "They should also have a hangover potion in there for you, love."
He kissed her forehead, before following Lily though the door to get clothes of his own.
Lily sighed and laid down on the bed. Best birthday ever.
"We can't drink too much tonight," Loralei decided when they were getting ready to go out again. She didn't dress up too much tonight, just leggings and a long top, still cute, but much more comfortable.
"Yeah, since we have to leave by noon." Remus agreed. "Maybe we should pack up tonight before we go out."
"Sounds perfect." Lily agreed. "Then we can just brush our hair and teeth and go. We still have to finish packing for Hogwarts and everything."
"Yeah, and we only have a day to do that." Sirius replied. "Just throw everything in, it's fine."
"Lazy," Loralei teased. "No. I know at least Remmy, Lily, and Loralei are going to organize and fold our clothes."
"'Loralei?' You're talking in third person now?" James asked.
Loralei didn't even pause at that. "Yes, Loralei enjoys talking in third person." Loralei told him. "She suggests that you get used to it. Loralei thinks it's fun."
"Loralei is ridiculous." James replied.
"Lily doesn't know. Lily think's its fun as well." Lily disagreed. "Lily likes this."
"Oh Merlin. You should have never become friends." James placed his palm against his face.
"Lily doesn't know. She wouldn't have learn how much she liked you without being at your house often." Lily smiled.
James paused. "James is happy that Lily is best friends with Loralei."
"Girl best friend. Remmy's my boy best friend." Loralei told him, slipping out of third person.
"Damn, been friend-zoned once again." Remus snapped his fingers and shook his head in disappointment as he said it.
"You always have a special place in my heart." Loralei against him as she pressed a hand against her chest.
"Well, how could I ever be mad at a person with a face like yours?" He asked, giving her a hug.
"I'll tell you what, if it doesn't work out with Sirius, I'll give you a shot." She looked up at him with big eyes.
"Hey!" Sirius pouted. "What was that about it not working out with me?"
"Just planning for the future." Loralei teased with a wink.
"You'll pay for that." He made a move towards her.
Loralei tried to get away from him, but he caught her around the waist, and tackled her to the bed, trying to tickle her.
"Stop it, you two. I swear, I know you've had sex, but please don't make me an uncle while I'm still a teenager!" James cried.
"Good sex is protected sex!" Loralei replied, grinning as Sirius bit her neck playfully.
"That doesn't mean I want to see the foreplay!" James rolled his eyes.
"Are you kidding, our whole relationship has been foreplay." Sirius told him, before Loralei pulled him down by his hair to kiss her.
"Get out." Remus told them, rolling his eyes.
Loralei wrapped her legs around Sirius' hips, and he carried her to the other room.
"Five minutes of snogging, and then we're leaving. We're going to the bar tonight, they have live music." Lily cried after them. "Please don't be your sickening couple selves!"
All Lily saw was Loralei's thumbs up in the doorway.
Loralei was the first to wake up the next morning. No hangover whatsoever. She remembered the fun they had the night before, and the fact that she was cuddled against Sirius' side. It was seven in the morning, they had time to sleep, so she just closed her eyes to fall asleep again.
Life was good. She may have had a low moment the night before last, but Sirius brought her back up. He made her happy and reminded her of who she was. He made her feel special. He made her want to be with him forever.
It scared her that she had never felt that before. Or at least never this strongly.
A/N: I hope everyone had a good Fourth of July (if you're in the US) if not, I hope you had a good week! This would've been up a lot earlier today, but I saved all the writing to do today since I've had a busy week, like I'm sure most of us. It's terrible when I can't even rest during the summer when I don't have any school work!
Hope you enjoyed this chapter! They're back at Hogwarts next chapter for their final year! If you PM or review me something you want to happen, if I can fit it in I will :)
Please review!
