I couldn't tell you how it happened. I don't know myself.

I know it was Hermione's and my first anniversary and that we were suddenly everyone's favourite married couple. There might have been more people at the party that Hermione decided to have than at our actual wedding.

I know that, because we're Harry's best friends and all, we managed to book a really fancy party room at some place that I've never heard of but is apparently very high class.

I definitely remember the open bar. These big parties and events always make me nervous, and, after about a thousand people asked us about when we were going to start having kids, I needed something (or a few somethings) to take the edge off.

I remember wandering (or perhaps running) away from a gaggle of pink aunts by ducking into the place's many courtyards. It was nice and quiet and completely free of any pestering relatives.

However, it did have one Draco Malfoy.

Hermione had invited Malfoy to our anniversary party. I knew that he had donated to her many charity organizations and that he sometimes acted as a consultant for Harry's trickier Auror assignments, but alcohol has this uncanny ability to make me forget all that.

I don't even know if either of us spoke before grappling, and somehow, between both of our furious punches, I managed to wrestle him to the ground.

I don't know where my brain signals got confused, but, instead of the intended head butt, I ended up trying to suck his tongue clean out of his mouth while simultaneously choking him with mine. He scratched angry red lines down my arms through my sleeves, and I left my fingerprints as bruises as I clung to his wriggling body.

I don't know how we got back to fighting either, but a crowd started to form. Harry and Charlie pulled me off of Malfoy. I was glad my nose was broken. Everyone was too preoccupied with the blood to notice my erection.

Even later, after everyone had been sent home and Hermione started scolding me for "such childish behaviour," I couldn't figure how what had really happened.

I wondered if Malfoy was just as confused.
