AFTER 8 PM
It had been hard to leave James' side the whole evening, but Lily finally had to excuse herself to use the loo. For a strange moment she thought that he might even ask to accompany her there, but she was able to slip out of the Great Hall alone.
She was making her way back when movement caught her eye away from the dance. Curious, she peeked just in time to see...wait, was that Sirius being lead away by Lucius Malfoy? She frowned and stepped around and she saw Remus standing there, looking more than a little confused.
"Remus?" she called out, walking towards him. "I don't think James spiked my punch, but did I just see Sirius and Lucius walk away together?" She frowned until she saw him slide against the wall. She hurried over, worried that something was wrong.
"Remus! Remus, are you alright?" She crouched down next to him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
