Ways of life

"Oh common don't leave yet!" he says laughing drunkenly. He then starts to walk towards me yet fails as he falls flat on his face unconscience. I stare at him and roll my eyes then continue to walk towards home. It was such an odd night, yet it didn't turn out as bad as I thought. I didn't get as drunk as everyone else, and I finally saw how Victor Krum acted out of school. He had a few drinks too many..

As I continue to walk I look up at the dark sky.. Its so odd not being at Hogwarts, but I guess its time to move on. I am now 18, I graduated last year. I did change a lot more than I thought I would.. I like to go out and have a good time now. But tonight didn't turn out as I thought it would. I had an idea that something disturbing would happen but wasn't sure Krum would be involved in it.

I feel very uncomfortable as I approach home, mum is going to be worried sick and ask me where I've been all night, so I take my time.

I've been at Krum's for the past 4 hours and his older friends were there as well, they drank a hell of a lot. Two of his friends tried to feel me up and Krum himself tried to bring me to his room and do more than I bargained for. That's when I decided to tell him off and leave. I can't believe he had the nerve to do that after I told him we we're just friends.. As for his two mates, they're balls might be numb for a few days but it'll be worth it.. for me of course.

I smell like pot, cigarettes and beer. I can't believe I went to a party filled with assholes and alcoholics. I'm starting to get really angry.. I wish Harry or Ron we're here. Harry would've gave Krum such a beating if he would have seen how he was treating me.. I really should have slapped him across the face.

I'm sighing as I ring the doorbell to my house. Mum opens the door and gives me the look of death.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL NIGHT HERMIONE? YOU COULD'VE CALLED!! YOU GOT ME WORRIED SICK!"

blah blah blah, its always the same. Too bad I can't smile and nod as I normally would..

"I've been out with friends mum." She smells my hair and her eyes widen.

"CIGARETTES?! OR IS THAT WEED I SMELL? IS MY DAUGHTER BECOMING A POTHEAD!??"

Oh lord.

"No mum, it was Krum. I don't smoke, you know better."

She gives me yet another deranged look.

"I TOLD YOU I DIDN'T LIKE THAT BOY, DIDN'T I TELL YOU?!"

I roll my eyes.

"Yes, mum. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to bed I have a headache. 'Night"

I walk up to my room and hear her curse uncontrollably.

I'm lying on my bed and missing Harry and Ron by the second. I haven't spoken to them in exactly 4 months. I don't know what made us lose contact, but something tells me they're at the Burrow. I call my owl Finny over and gently stroke his feathers. I don't know why I decided to start writing a letter but I just did. As I finish the letter I roll it up and tie it to Finny's leg. It says "Harry & Ron" on it, and I quietly tell Finny to deliver it a.s.a.p. I hope they write back, I really do. But until then I'll be waiting here at home, no more parties for me.
