Bad decisions

Harry woke up in the hospital wing with an aching jaw. It was his seventh year and strangely Harry's first visit to the hospital wing. This was because he'd finally killed Voldermort at the end of his sixth year when he had tried to kidnap Ginny, Harry's girlfriend. Harry had gone completely crazy and killed good old' Voldie with a simple wingardium leviosa, the one spell that Voldermort was unable to do.

This all meant that Harry was very confused as to why he was in the hospital wing. He reached onto the night stand next to his bed and put on his glasses very gently. Looking around he saw Hermione sitting next to his bed asleep.

Harry grabbed his wand and, as he couldn't reach Hermione, he poked her with his wand to wake her up.

"Herm what happened?" Harry asked the girl once she was awake.

"What don't you remember?" she asked shocked.

"I wouldn't be asking if I did." He replied.

"Well Harry it was completely inappropriate and rude but you decided to serenade Ginny. I can't believe you sang that song. It just shows that you have awful taste in music." She ranted.

"What did I sing Herm?" Harry asked her.

"Ok well it all started last night when we where in the common room and Dean

mentioned that he can play guitar."

"Hey Dean I have a request" Harry said to the boy sitting across from him.

"Yeah alright" Dean replied. This lead to Harry crawling across the floor, he'd had a lot to drink, and whispering in the other boy's ear.

It was at this point that Ginny walked into the common room as she had been in a detention.

Harry stood up and started dancing towards her in what he thought was a sexy manner, but which actually looked retarded, accompanied by Dean's guitar playing.

Once Hermione heard the tune she groaned in agony and just a bit of fear.

"Baby, take off your coat, real slow" Harry started while grabbing Ginny.

"Baby, take off your shoes. I'll help you take off your shoes.
Baby, take off your dress. Yes, yes, yes.

You can leave your hat on.
You can leave your hat on.
You can leave your hat on.

Go over there, turn on the light. No, all the lights.
Come back here, stand on the chair. Ooh, baby, that's right!
Raise your arms in the air, now shake 'em.

You give me reason to live.
You give me reason to live.
You give me reason to live.
You can leave your hat on!

Suspicious minds are talking. That's right, they'll tear us apart.
They don't believe in this love of ours.
They don't know what love is.
They don't know what love is.
I know what love is.
You can leave your hat on.
You can"

Harry sang all the while grinding up against Ginny and skillfully avoiding her punches.

Hermione paused and took a drink.

"I remember that now but how did I get hurt?" Harry asked.

"Well you see." Hermione started, "we where all drinking a lot of firewhisky to try and block you out and so when Ron went to punch you we where all too slow to stop him."

"So I'm in here because Ron punched me?" Harry asked.

"Well yes and no." Hermione said.

"Well then why am I here?" Harry asked

"Well you see, well Harry we where all really really drunk ok. Well when Ron started wailing on you we thought that it was a good idea and well we all beat you up. Then when the teachers came in to see what the problem was we told them, in between punching you, and they brought you up here but madam Promfery thought that your actions where really bad so she refused to give you any pain killers."

Harry looked at Hermione and shook his head in disgust.

"I'm never drinking again." He said firmly.
