A/N: I am really sick so this chapter is really short, hoping to feel better tomorrow and get something longer out to make up for it.

Chapter 21:

Harry was sitting on his couch watching the Nutcracker on the telly when Hermione came over. He turned his head just slightly to look at her, the bottle of rum falling from his hands and onto the floor. He saw her shake her head is disapproval and couldn't care less.

"Oh Harry what are you doing?" She asked as she picked the bottle up and vanished it.

"Hey give that back. I am doing just fine." Harry stated as he tried to sit up.

Hermione sighed and quickly left Harry's house making him breath in a sigh of relief that she listened. Moments later he heard her return and closed his eyes, hoping she would think he fell asleep; of course he would have no such luck.

"Harry I know you're awake. Take this." He opened his eyes and saw a vile in her hands and knew exactly what it was.

"No. I don't need to sober up. I am fine as I am" He pushed the vile away from his face.

"Take this now and then you are going to go after Draco and grovel for what you did to him." Harry sat straight up and downed the vial then scowled at her.

"What did he tell you? How dare he tell you anything." Harry was not very upset.

"He only told us the truth Harry. I know you and I know you would do something as stupid as going into his mind." Harry flinched telling her exactly what she needed to know. "Now get your arse up and go find him, talk to him. I know how you feel about him Harry."

"I will go try, but if he doesn't want to talk then there is nothing I can do." He stood up and righted his clothes, preparing to go to Severus'.

He didn't know how far he would get with talking to Draco, but he could only hope that the other man would forgive him.
