Order Only: Hangover

[alt_sirius]

Ugh. You know that feeling when your tongue doesn't seem like it should fit in your mouth? Or your eyes in their sockets?

Wow. That bloke was not lying; sold me a dead incredible spliff.

Think I had a great time last night, too.

At least I hope I did. Madeleine says I did, anyway. (Madeleine? Margot? Madeleine.)


Things to do today:
Find trousers
drink water
prepare lesson (back to it tomorrow)
not Apparate


In case you're wondering, I'd told them I needed a few days. I came up to Calais. For one thing if I'm to be down in Longvic much of the summer (and it looks that way) I should let go the flat here. Though I don't know... it helps to maintain an address for Henrich, and those landladies are good cooks. Anyway, I wanted to pick up the bike, at least, as it's about a six-hour's ride back to Dijon.

There was something else... besides the apothecary for Darius Dewovar's Day-After Dram.

Oh, right. I have it.

Gone on a bit of a bender, I see.

Hope it helped you get a bit of the shock out of the system.

Yes, I definitely think not apparating is a good idea, at least until you've downed that Day-After Dram.

[alt_sirius]

Well, I know it's odd, but I don't Apparate under normal circumstances, anyway, unless I have no choice.

And yes, it definitely served to help put things back into perspective.

Don't be ridiculous, Sirius.

You are not to ride (drive?) that bike until you have allowed all of the toxins to exit your system. Splinching's bad enough, but splattering yourself along the tarmac when you fail to negotiate a curve... there is not medimagic enough to patch up that damage.


Tsk.

[alt_sirius]

No worries, Poppy.

First off, she flies - at least once I'm out of the cities, she does. And second, I'll be right as rain within an hour or two. I've already gone down the shop for the Dewavar's, so it shan't be long before I'm perfectly well.

Wouldn't be the first time

[alt_poppy]

The fact that it would not be the first time does not make it any sounder, Sirius Black. And the fact that the contraption flies makes it all the worse.

If you fall from that thing or crash it into something, you'd best make sure I never hear of it.

[alt_sirius]

You sound like my mother.

Actually, you sound like James's mother. MY mother would probably be pleased if I crashed.

Someday I'll just take you up on that 'contraption' and then you'll see it's no more dangerous than an Aethenon.

[alt_molly]

Poppy on your bike? I'd pay Galleons to see that!

[alt_molly]

And 'Find trousers' ???

Sirius, really.

[alt_sirius]

Oh, I did find them eventually. Just I found the journal first and, well.

[alt_sirius]

I was hungover!

[alt_molly]

That doesn't surprise me in the least!
