"You actually think you can win?" Remus said.

"You've your werewolf metabolism. I've my own secret weapon," she replied airily.

"Don't blame me when you're regretting this tomorrow."

"I won't."

Money changed hands among the rest of the staff. Flitwick set glasses on the table, poured two shots of whisky.

Three hours later, just before he passed out, Remus saw Minerva McGonagall smirk as she collected her winnings.

"Never try to out-drink a Scot, Remus. I thought you were brighter than that."

He woke the next morning with a screaming headache, the fifteen Galleons he'd won now in Minerva's pocket.
