Shakespeare ❆ Sirius Black [1]

Chapter Nineteen

Nadia moved around her room in search of her Gryffindor scarf which she had merely discarded somewhere the last time she had taken it off and now couldn't find it. Of course, that resulted in a lot of shuffling and scuffling sounds spreading through the dorm room.

"Nadia! For Merlin's sake! Enough!" Marlene yelled out as she covered her head with a pillow, letting out moans of pain at the killer headache she was suffering through because of last night's party.

"Pain killers are on your bedside tables along with a glass of water each." Nadia said with a smile of amusement on her face. Nadia herself was no stranger to hangovers, and with that came the vast knowledge of which cures worked best. And in this case it were the tasteless Muggle tablets in her opinion.

"What are pain killers?" Marlene moaned out, her voice muffled by the pillow still covering her head. Unlike her, Lily moved from her bed as quickly as she could without causing herself any more pain as she greedily reached for the tablet and the water, chugging it all down in one go.

"They'll make you feel better." Nadia said as she approached the moaning girl and sat down on the bed next to her, her hands reaching for the water and the white tablet as Marlene remove the pillow and looked over at her.

"How are you so...? So alive?" Marlene questioned as she sat up in her bed and looked at Nadia who was already dressed for the day's trip to Hogsmeade and ready to go.

"Because I took one." Nadia said as she handed her the small thing Marlene looked at curiously. She trusted Nadia, and each of the girls knew about her passion for mixing Muggle and Magical medicine so Marlene accepted the pill and swallowed it with the aid of the water.

"Make sure Mary takes hers when she wakes up, they take about half an hour to work." Nadia said as she set Marlene's glass back on the nightstand and moved towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Lily asked groggily as she looked at Nadia's retreating form.

"To take care of the other four alcoholics." Nadia said with a smile shaking the bottle of pain killers in the air which made Marlene and Lily let out loud groans, while Mary who had actually been awake but hadn't let out a sound because of how exhausted she was, got up and threw her pillow in Nadia's direction which only made the Russian girl laugh as she dodged out of its way and escaped through the door.

She made her way down the stairs and to the common room, to see a couple of seventh year students sitting around with their heads in their hands. As she walked down, her loud steps made their eyes turn in her direction.

"Nadia?" One of them questioned, unsure of whether he was seeing the girl herself move around as if she were light as a feather, while last night she was equally as drunk as him if not even more.

"Good morning Nicholas, Adam, Henry." Nadia said with a smile as she walked over to them deciding that the Marauders could wait a few minutes, especially since she suspected they were still asleep. While she had met Nicholas before, last night she had been introduced to Henry and Adam who were also in their seventh year.
