When the real drama comes into play, chapters WILL be longer.

Hermione glared at Ron, "Why are you here?"
Ron sighed, "I came to invite you to the Burrow in person."
Hermione scoffed, "I am NOT interested."
Ron sniffed the air, "Are you drunk?"
Hermione stumbled, "NO, I'm always like this."
Ron helped Hermione to the bathroom and held her hair up while she threw up in the toilet.
Ron sighed, "Mione, this has got to stop. Harry and I miss you."
Hermione stood up and sneered, "The Mione you know and love is gone. Now, get OUT of my apartment."
Ron let out a deep breath, "Mione..."
Hermione shook her head frantically, "NO! I will not step foot in the Burrow again! I have distanced myself from the wizarding world for good!"
Ron stared, "Why? You never gave us a reason."
"Why do I need one?"
"GET OUT!"
Just then, she fell to the floor in a full body bind as Harry stepped beside Ron.
She scowled, "LET ME GO!"
Harry sighed, "You need help, Mione."
Hermione glared, "You'll both need help when I get loose. I'm going to hex you both."
Harry shrugged, "We'll take our chances with that."
They picked her up and took her outside. They apparated out of Muggle view.
Hermione wailed, "Where are you taking me?"
Ron replied casually, "St. Mungos..."
"WHAT?"
Sure enough, they applied her into St. Mungos to be treated. They were surprised to hear that nothing was wrong with her. She was in perfect health except for being a moderate drunk.
A healer whispered to them, "Keep her in care. She needs to stop drinking."
Ron just nodded, "She'll stay with my mum at the burrow."
Hermione's voice bellowed, "The hell I will!"
