and all the girls wanna get with theā (remus and james) june 3
They've been at the after party at Alice and Frank's for maybe half an hour and Remus is maybe a little tipsy. She's sort of sprawled across James on the sofa, sipping at a pumpkin ale she brought from her apartment (she stocks up every fall and then hordes them until they come around again) and people watching. She's trying her hardest not to study Sirius too hard, which is more difficult than she's willing to admit (and possibly a reason for why she's already feeling so light-headed). It's not until she notices the new girl -- the cute redhead Ted brought to the game and then the party -- that Remus has someone interesting enough to take her mind off of her ex.
She nudges James in the ribcage and leans in to whisper in her ear. "Do you think she likes girls?" Remus asks, nodding toward the redhead. The girl looks to be about their age, a tattoo wrapping up her arm and under the sleeve of her v-neck. She's leaning against a wall and texting, her face lit up by the screen of her iPhone. A drink umbrella is tucked behind her ear, left over from the drink Remus saw Alice shove into her hand when she walked into the party half an hour ago. Remus didn't see the girl drink any of it, nor did she see her get rid of the cup, but it's nowhere to be found now.
Remus takes another drink of her beer, frowning when it's the last of the bottle. It's her second, and she only brought three, and she really doesn't want to dive into the vodka punch Frank threw together for tonight. Remus sighs. "Why don't I everĀ plan ahead on nights I decide I want to get shitfaced?"
