Chapter One
A Night to remember
The summer she had waited for never came. Instead she had found herself facing a full two months of waiting. The days were endless and consisted of reading, letter writing, TV and other activities that made her sick to the guts. After the last months of battle the members of the order was forced into hiding, at least until the end of summer, when those who pleased could return to Hogwarts for their final year.. Although she had her final year at Hogwarts to look forward to, Hermione could not help but feel a bit frustrated that her first summer being off age was to be spent like every other, coped up at her house with absolutely no thing to do.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! An ancient alarm clock made its usual racket on the night stand while the girl lying in the bed next to it fought her usual battle trying to ignore it.
"Bloody prehistoric alarm clock, can't a person get a decent night of sleep here" Hermione mumbled, but staying true to their morning ritual the alarm clock didn't answer.
Dragging her feet she made her way to the bathroom while her arms hung limp at her sides and her huge sweats hung loosely on her frame. Catching a glimpse of herself in the mirror she sighed and steadied her body on the sink and looked back in the mirror to see a dragged a tired face looking back at her. The war had taken its toll on her once soft features and it was safe to say t he any puppy fat that she had once had, was now long gone. Every morning was the same; she would wake up, and try, then fail to avoid the mirror. And never could she decide if she liked this new person staring back at her.
She sighed at the girl in the mirror and moved to get on with her shower before Ginny showed up.
"MIONEE! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE GIRL!" Ginny shrieked from downstairs.
"Ginny! It's so great to see you again" Hermione said with a grin while walking down the stairs.
"Yeah, I know I missed you so much" Ginny said with watering eyes.
"Hey, what wrong, don't get all sentimental, we are going to fun tonight remember?" Hermione said the twinkle in her eyes unmistakeable.
"Oh my! I almost forgot about that", Ginny said mood swing fast forgotten, "This is going to be so great, a girls night out, just you me, and a dance floor full of hot guys!" she rambled on while Hermione stared at her, mouth ajar.
"Ginny! Come on, you said we were going to have fun, you didn't say anything about going clubing! I just want to hang out here and watch a movie or something" She said looking both annoyed and hopeful at the same time, hoping Ginny would forget about the whole clubing thing.
"No way, I've been stuck at home with my six overprotecting brothers for weeks now; we're going clubing, so get up stairs and tame that bushy head of yours!" She said with such a Mrs. Weasley like glare that Hermione couldn't contain herself and broke into a fit of giggles.
"Whoa, calm down, I'll go all right, just don't kill me" Hermione said giggling madly as Ginny chased her up the stairs.
Minutes later found the girls digging their way thru Hermione's closet. "God, its like a granny hurricane blew thru your closet, I mean look at this shit!" Ginny uttered in total despair as she held up a faded greyish knit jumper.
"I'll have you know that I have several clothing's that are not so granish!" Hermione stated while snatching back her favourite jumper from her incredibly rude friend.
"Oh really lets see then", Ginny said with a smirk and lowered herself to sit on the bed looking at Hermione with anticipation.
Hermione gave her, her best scowl, turned on her heel and walked into the adjoined bathroom. She sat down on the closed toilet and let out a "Humph" while crossing her arm over her chest. "Stupid! She can be so annoying sometimes, now I'm really not in the mood to go out!"
Before she could continue her self pitying however, the redhead made her presence know by poking her in the ribs.
"What?" Hermione barked all the while sending her best friend a famous death glare.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry all right?" Ginny said, and when Hermione continued to look offended she said "Listen, I actually found some pretty great clothes that we can wear tonight, so let's try them one okay?" she gave a weak smile and was relived to see that Hermione was fighting to hold one back as well.
Hermione took the clothes that Ginny had picked out without even looking at them and threw them on. She stopped in the process of putting on a halter neck top when Ginny gasped.
"Really, what is it now; do these clothes loose their charm after being put on my extremely dull body?" Hermione snapped looking ready to crack again.
"Loosen up will you; I thought you looked great, have you lost weight?" Ginny asked looking bewildered.
Hermione felt like a weight had been lifted of her shoulders, "Really, you don't hate it; I don't look awful, or strange or anything? She said fast with a hopeful tone.
"Of course not" she said, a bit overactive bouncing up and down while rambling on " Not that you didn't look good before, but now you look even better, the things we could do with that hair.."
"Hey! I happen to like my hair just as it is, we don't have to blast our hair and faces with so many beauty spells that we look like mannequins either!" Hermione said feeling a bit offended that Ginny found it necessary to change so much about her appearance, she was fine with it just was it was!
" Oh relax, and get finished dressing, and I'll worry about hair and makeup" Ginny said while digging thru Hermione's drawers, searching for at least some Muggle hair care products, spells only lasted for so long.
Half an hour, many bottles of anti frizz, some hard spell work and some serious bickering later. Both girls were standing in the hallway of Hermione's house, gawking at their reflections for what seemed like the hundred time.
Hermione was wearing comfortable black city shorts and deep green halter neck top in a light material that emphasized her curved petite body, with a perfect neckline that would catch many eyes. Ginny had of course claimed that accessories were essential. And had shown his by adding killer black pumps and a broad leather waist belt that made Hermione's waist, if possible, look even smaller. When it came to make up, she just had to trust that when Ginny said it was okay to wear black and green eye shadow when you're going out, it was okay.
"Wow, you look hot!" Ginny said while running her finger thru Hermione's hair that was now soft brown curls spilling down her back.
Hermione beamed and said "you don't look so bad yourself Miss Weasley" while studying her short denim skirt and red silk top with flowing short arms and a generous neckline.
"Why thank you sir!" Ginny said chuckling and giving a pretty obvious wink. Hermione rolled her eyes at her friend and asked "So where are we going anyway, it's not like you're of age yet, so there's not many places we can go" Hermione said, only realising this now and felt a bit stupid not having thought about this before.
"Oh you leave that to me" Ginny said winking with that mischievous look and her eyes and grabbed Hermione's age.
Before Hermione could protest she felt the air spill out of her lungs and the darkness pressing on her.
Hermione coughed and spluttered before drew a sharp breath of fresh night air and striated up to look at Ginny. She opened her mouth to gives her hasty friend something to think about, but at that moment something moved in the corner of her eye and she whipped around to see a endless line of night clubs, with endless lines of people waiting outside, scary looking bouncers and hot Scandinavian door touts on the street before her.
"It's great isn't it?" Ginny smirked, seeing Hermione ogling one particular door tout with broad muscular shoulder and gleaming blue eyes.
Hermione merely nodded feeling her mouth go dry as she saw the handsome Scandinavian coming towards them.
"Good evening ladies!" The Scandinavian said in a smooth elegant tone before he bowed and kissed both their hands. "Would you care to join me at Seven for some champagne" He said sending Hermione a quick look that make her knees go wobbly.
"S…seven?" Hermione croaked feeling more stupid by the minute not being able to take her eyes of this man chest the was poorly hidden beneath a tight white t shirt that made his tanned arms look irresistible.
The Scandinavian door tout merely gave a mysterious nod and handed her a card with a flashy logo that said "Seven" and several pictures from what seemed like steamy summer nights from inside the club.
Ginny was already tapping her foot impatiently and was glad when he Scandinavian seemed to take Hermione's silence as a yes. And was now leading them toward what seemed like the hottest club on the street judging by the line of people outside. Ginny smirked when she realised that he was leading them right past the line of people.
The Scandinavian man gave the bouncer at the door a meaningful look and he stepped aside while giving him a wink and said: Jeg ser at du nok engang har greid å funne de deiligste jentene, de er akkurat hans smak. Han og gjegen venter oppe, men gi jentene champangen sin først, ellers er det juksing! While he looked greedily at the two girls on his colleagues arms.
Hermione gave the doorman a confused stare, but decided to ignore him; it was so annoying when people talked in languages she couldn't understand! She tried to read the Scandinavians face, but he gave nothing away, he simply led them thru the big glass doors.
The DJ was playing some kind of Spanish hip hop that was surprisingly enjoyable in Hermione's opinion. So when the Champagne was lead to her she didn't register a word the Scandinavian man (named Bjarne by the way) said, but downed her glass fast concentrating on the music. After few minutes the Scandinavian man disappeared outside again and only then was she able to gain Ginny's attention.
"So... What about that Bjarne character, huh? Hermione said looking amuses at Ginny as she seemed totally lost in searching for the Scandinavian thru the massive glass door.
"Huh, Yeah I guess" Ginny said not really catching what Hermione had said. "So wanna go upstairs and meet the guys that paid for this 20 galleon bottle of champagne?"
"20 galleons! What kind of sick b... Hey, I thought this was on the house!" Hermione rambled feeling confused.
"Weren't you listening to Bjarne at all" Ginny said looking annoyed
"Not really no, what gave out of his mouth didn't interest me as much as the rest of him" Hermione giggled at the same time trying to down her fifth glass of champagne.
"Come on! Focus woman! Some extremely rich and hopefully handsome wizards are interested in us, and if they're smart enough to lure us with champagne, I bet you they can dance too." Ginny said smiling with her mischievous glint in her eyes that never meant any good.
"Well come on then" Hermione said her voice already a bit slurred.
Ginny watched with disbelief as her best friend walked on slightly wobbly legs toward the stairs and hopped of her bar stool to join her.
They laughed and snorted on their way up the stairs and made a plan that felt smart at the time to use their charm on rich wizards for more free drinks, seeing as free drinks are much more fun.
Jeg ser at du nok engang har greid å funne de deiligste jentene, de er akkurat hans smak. Han og gjegen venter oppe, men gi jentene champangen sin først, ellers er det juksing! - I can see that you managed to find the hottest girls, again, they're just his type. He's waiting upstairs with his usual crew. But don't you forget to give the ladys the champagne I know you promised them, if not, thats cheating!
