My Path in Life

Chapter 2

~!~

I looked around with Ginny, Lavender and Mel on my side. There is loud music everywhere and I just wanted to go home. The girls dancing

on the platform were doing some stripping but the manager got into a fight with them and he ended up starring at them too.

"Welcome to Karma!" Ginny said happily as a smile came over her already made face. She had done something to my hair. She put it in

layers and it's now sort of straight. Its now all wavy and in all sorts of blonde colours. Now at three in the morning, were still going into this club.

I think I've gone crazy.

Lavender passes me a beer. I try to push back, but she puts it right in my mouth. The liquid tastes bitter yet I want more. I think of my

life and how everyone has treated me as if I was only Hermione Granger. I take more and start to get so drunk I don't know what I'm doing. I can't

see where Ginny, Lav and Mel are, they are all gone.

I start to grab this guy into a room and start to kiss him.

" Have to…I need you inside. Of…me" I whisper. He gasps but yet at the same time, he starts to put me down on the bed.

"NO! I need it now!" I scream. I've gotten so dizzy that I can't seem to think of what I'm saying or doing.

He leans over and kisses my cheek and suddenly says, " Hermione…"

~!~

Ginny has been so wrapped up into this conversation with this guy who's face has piercing grey blue eyes, it seems like she's seen him

before. Before she gets too caught in his gaze, she looks at his cap on his hair and looks closely as his features. She's definitely seen him

somewhere. Yet she doesn't remember.

The youngest Weasley peeled away from the conversation and started to look around for Hermione. Yet I had gone into the bedroom.

~!~

I stare at him. I know him. I've heard his voice and I've seen him before. Yet he speaks out again. " You're drunk, I know you're mad, let it

all out,and scream at me…"

I stare at him again. My mind clears up a bit and I start to cry. I can't believe I'm crying, me…the perfect Hermione Granger. Ginny opens

the door. She sees him and he sees her. They both sit down beside me.

He whispers something in Ginny's ear and she nods. I wonder what they're talking about. Ginny closes the door and starts to talk.

"Hun, Are you ok?" She said in a worried voice and adds, "I guess there's no more beer for you tonight!"

"Ginny! I'm sorry; I don't know what has gotten over me. I just don't know. I just wanted to you know… do it I guess" I start to cry again

and Ginny comes over to hug me.

" It alright, I'm here and he doesn't have to bother you anymore. Shhh…its ok"

I don't know if its me or not, but Ginny just seemed to make everything go away. Every bit of anger, frustration, silliness. It's now just

Hermione Granger.

"Ginny?"

"Yeah?"

"This party sucks, let's go home."

" Sure, let's apparate."

~!~

I sit up on my bed thinking of what has happened last night. Its already 11 in the morning and I have nothing to do. I pick up the phone

and dial Ron's number. It rings but no one answers and I'm all alone again.
