Drinking in Misery
I could feel the rage growing up inside of me and quickly I slid over to where Selene was dancing with her father.
"Selene!" I hissed.
She turned to look at me with sparkling eyes. "Oh Hermione isn't this fun?!"
I gave her a glare as I pulled her away from Severus. "Look who decided to come with your dear lovely brother."
Surprised Selene followed my gaze and narrowed her eyes upon inspection.
"Please tell me that my darling brother did not just bring that two timing slut."
As you can see, my own hatred for Ginny was closely matched by Selene's. Growling Selene watched as the couple made their way over here.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, I should probably mention that Selene and Draco are siblings. I know, confusing. You see, Narcissa was always on the side of the Order, even from the beginning, and similarly to Severus, she was a double agent. She married Lucius to help our side, not because she loved him.
Severus and Narcissa however were in a relationship before her marriage, and their love for one another wasn't restricted in anyway by her new marriage. Despite her relationship with Severus, Narcissa put on a lovely charade with Lucius, that was until he pressured her to give him an heir. The only problem was Lucius was incapable of producing a child. He for one was not very accepting of the fact, and so when Narcissa became pregnant with Severus' child, she declared it as Lucius's.
Things went smoothly until the day of the child's birth. Lucius would only take in a first born boy as an heir to the Malfoy name, otherwise he would kill it. Narcissa had a beautiful baby girl that she fell madly in love with. She found herself unable to let Lucius kill her and gave her child to Severus to take care of. She told Lucius she had suffered a miscarriage. Six months later Narcissa had Draco, a perfect Malfoy heir, and actually the son of Severus as well. So while she watched over Draco, Severus took care of Selene. Shortly after the war the family had been united, and Severus had married Narcissa. Still really confusing.
Anyways, back to the present time so I can watch Selene kick Draco's arse. The couple made their way over to our small group, with Draco giving helpless looks to Selene when they came before us.
Selene rose a delicate eyebrow.
"And who is this trash?!"
Plenty of woman around us shot her disapproving looks, while the men chuckled merrily. I gently nudged her.
"Try to keep your voice down."
She turned her glare at me. I swallowed hard before holding up my hands in defense. I heard a sickly sweet giggle and both Selene and I turned to glare at the red headed slut molesting Draco.
"Oh Draco, you're such a charmer."
I bit my bottom lip to hold my laughter. Selene continued to glare. Draco cringed as he shrugged his arm away from Ginny and turned to his sister.
Sighing deeply he began, "So how's the party?"
"It was better before you came along with her."
"Look I did not bring her as my date. I decided to go solo for tonight." Draco explained.
His sister was probably the only woman who Draco was fearful of. She was quite the dangerous woman when threatened or angered. Really not a pretty picture.
Ginny hiccuped and drawled, "Oh no, I didn't come with Draco dear, I came with Blake Fern. My isn't he handsome."
She hiccuped again.
I narrowed my eyes and held back my angry tears. Blake was my ex boyfriend.
"Weasley are you drunk?"
She turned to look at me.
"Of course not."
With that she passed out.
"Uh-huh." I chided.
Selene looked at Draco who gave her a matching glare.
"She jumped me as soon as I entered. It's not like I had a choice!"
Selene looked like she wanted to say more, but Harry came to the rescue and crept up behind his fiancé and wrapped his arms around Selene's waist.
"Hey love." I heard him whisper sweetly before kissing her soundlessly on the cheek. Selene giggled and her cheeks turned a light pink.
"Ahem!" I muttered.
"Get a room." Draco added.
I turned to glare at him as he quirked an eyebrow at me with amusement.
"Sorry Draco, 'Mione." Harry added in acknowledgment.
I rolled my eyes, but said nothing on the statement. I heard a groan and turned down to see Ginny still on the floor.
"Ginerva?" Harry questioned with confusion.
He pulled away from Selene to stare at the red head.
"What is she doing at the party, and why is she on the floor?!"
"She passed out." Draco supplied. "She was drunk."
I saw Harry's look of surprise but he said nothing about it.
"I'll take care of this." An angelic voice declared.
We turned to see Narcissa make her way to our group. She smiled at us and bent down to Ginny's level. It's really quite funny how she doesn't seem to hate Ginny at all compared to Selene.
Smiling she lifted Ginny's head and placed her wand to her temple.
"Selene, while I'm wrapping this up, could you please go stop your father from stripping in front of everyone? I believe Sirius has spiked his drink."
Sure enough Severus was on the dinner table having already shed his coat, and his hand making its way to his pants. Funny how things happen so quickly.
A few woman swooned at the sight of him. Severus was quite the looker now that Narcissa had stepped back into his life. Even I had to admit he was handsome. He had lean muscles and his hair was now smartly cut and the greasy sheen was gone.
I saw Sirius snickering evilly next to a horrified Remus Lupin. Bloody terrific.
"Dad!" Selene yelled horrified.
She made her way to her father, Harry hot on her heels.
Another groan came from Ginny, and I watch Narcissa do her magic commenting in a calm voice, "It's utterly pleasant Sirius and Severus are friends, I just dearly hope that Sirius values his life, for Severus will not take too kindly this." She giggled at the thought.
Hermione couldn't agree more. A few more spells later Narcissa stood up and called over an house elf.
"Tippy, could you please take Mrs. Wealsey to a spare room?"
"Of course Mistress." Tippy bowed and grabbed a hold of Ginny's arm before Apparating.
Sharply an alarmed Draco explained, "Mom, Dad's singing and trying to get a few dates."
Amused Narcissa followed her son's gaze to her husband and narrowed her eyes.
Her husband was holding a pretty little brunette and dancing with her sloppily. The brunette took the time to run her hands over his person and Hermione swore she heard Severus say, "Can I take you home tonight pretty little thing?"
"If he values his own life he will do no such thing." Narcissa said outraged.
With that she walked off to her husband.
"Well that went wonderfully." I grumbled sighing.
I turned to Draco who was staring at me.
"What?!" I growled.
I was still angry about the whole Ginny and Blake thing.
"Nothing." he responded calmly.
"Draco? Is that you?!"
I blinked and looked behind him to see a blonde bimbo making her way towards us.
Draco turned around and nervously said, "Oh hey...you!"
Turning back around he shot me a helpless look.
Glaring at him I made my way to a house elf serving champagne. I grabbed a glass and drunk it in one swig. I staggered slightly. In case you don't know, Hermione Granger can't hold her drink after her third glass, so be very alarmed when I grabbed a bottle.
I made my to the balcony, lingering to make small talk with some of my co workers. My the time I got there I had drunk about half the champagne bottle.
I sighed at the first mouthful of sweet air.
"Stupid Ginny, stupid Hermione." I quipped.
I felt tears run down my cheeks as I thought of Ginny. I couldn't believe she was dating my ex! I took another swig. Merlin I was on a roll tonight.
"Merlin Granger, ease up on the drinks." a smooth voice commented.
I turned around to Malfoy with the first few buttons of his shirt undone, no coat, and his tie hanging loosely from his neck. My did he look yummy. Wait, what am I thinking?!
"Shut up Malfoy, don't you have some busty whore to get back to?" I slurred.
I walked over to him attempting to intimidate him, instead I fell into his arms. Classic, I know. Malfoy chuckled and helped me to the bench. How sweet of him. Do hear my sarcasm.
I groaned when a wave of pain hammered at my head.
Growling I took another swig.
"Granger, give me the bottle." Malfoy said sternly.
"No!" I whined holding it away from him.
"Granger! Now!"
"Malfoy, no!"
"Granger!"
"Malfoy!"
By now we were both wrestling for the bottle. At one point our hands found the neck of the bottle, and with Malfoy in lead he pushed me into the railing, and I gasped. I couldn't breathe. I dropped the bottle, which fell into Malfoy's hands.
"See, that wasn't too hard Granger."
I made weird noises as I tried to inhale another breath of air.
Malfoy stared at me confused.
"Granger?"
Bent over at the waist, I let out an airy, "Can't.....breathe!"
