The New Girl From France -S.B

24.) The massive hangover

"oh, yeah, that would do it, you were so drunk"

"are you here to scold me? or....."

"yeah, sorry, I just came to see if you were ready for classes today, but seeing your condition, I am guessing you are not coming?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner" Tatum said sarcastically 

"and, I wanted to see if you remember anything from last night by any chance?"

"ummmm, i remember going to get drinks with Sirius" Remus noticed the blush that creeped onto Tatum's face at the mention of Sirius "and having a couple cups if Fire whiskey, talking to a couple people, that's about it, why? oh Merlin, what did I do?!"

"no no no, you didn't do anything stupid, well I mean you did get drunk, but besides the point, I just wanted to know"

"mhm" Tatum nodded her head, but that only increased her major head ache 

 "want help off the floor?"

"yes please"  She said and put her arms in the air or Remus to pull her up

"be a doll and walk me to the bathroom"

"ok" Remus laughed and walked his friend to the bathroom 

"mhm k, I got it"

"ok, I will go and get lily, just cause I am starving, and dnt want to be here for the puking" He smiled at Tatum and left her dorm

soon enough, Tatum heard the voice of Lily ringing in her head 

"ohhhh, please don't talk, it sounds like a really loud bell" Tatum whined

"do you need me?"

"no? yes? I don't know"

"ok.... I have history of magic in 10 minutes, after that-" Lily started, she knew that Tatum would not be going to classes to day, from what Remus had told her, being the amazing friend Lily is, she was planning on taking notes for Tatum anyway

"mhm" Tatum hummed, not enjoying the bell going off in her head 

Lily chuckled, and let out a sigh, knowing Tatum doesn't remember last nights event, even in the slightest of ways   

"I am going to head out, want me to bring you to bed?"

"yes"

Lily help Tatum to her bed, once she got settled, Tatum immediately fell asleep

Meanwhile, Sirius had also stayed in bed and deiced not to attend classes, not because he had gotten drunk the night before and ad a massive hangover, but because he was  heart broken, he was planning on asking Tatum today to the dance, but witnessing last night, he just could not brig himself out of bed

"you alright there mate" Remus asked, basically talking to Sirius's back

"mhm"

"look, She was drunk, Tatum probably doesn't even remember what happened"

"that doesn't matter,  I bet that git Andreas wasn't drunk, so he'll remind her, and plus, Athena wasn't drunk, so this whole thing is now screwed up,  and now I know Tatum will never go out with me"

"Padfoot, you just being dramatic, and I know Tatum likes you" James said from across the room

"proof?"

"I was talking with Lily, she said so"

"sure"

"its tru-" James sentence was cut off by a thud coming from Tatum's dorm

"want me to go check?" Remus said

with no response, Remus left to go check Tatum did not break something

"James, does she really like me?" Sirius said while sitting up from his bed

"yeah, she was next to me when Andreas asked Tatum, she said, and I quote 'she is head over heels for him' "

"bet she was talking about Andreas" 

"nope, how do I know you might ask? well I told her about your plan for asking Tatum to the dance, and Lily said it was a cute idea and that Tatum was head over heels for you and that she would have definitely said yes"

"huh" Sirius said and climbed out of bed, changing his mind about the day

"coming to classes now?"

"yup"

As Sirius was fixing his tie, Remus came back

"wats up?"

"well, many things actually-"

"does she remember anything?"

"I thought it didn't matter, but no, she remembers nothing" at Remus's words Sirius cracked a small smile 

"continue"

"when I walked in, she was on the floor, that is probably what caused the noise, anyway, she has a massive hang over and is not coming to classes, but Lily has it covered"

"ok, so she is alright?"

"yes, Sirius, she is just fine, subtract the hangover, and she is just fine"

the words 'just fine' kind of hurt Sirius a little, he wasn't quite sure, but all he wanted at this very moment was to be at Tatum's side, ever since the Hogsmeade trip, he felt his feelings towards Tatum grow even more.   

Remus noticed his friends change in mood, he knew Sirius was falling fast for Tatum, he also knew that if Sirius fell fast, he would be on the edge of falling in love with her.

Even in the short amount Sirius had known Tatum, he knew it to, he knew he was on thin ice, once he fell, he would be in love with the new girl from France.
