Chapter 2: So It Begins.
After finishing the rest of the bottle in a matter of minutes, Hermione turned to Fred who sat in a chair next to the couch, ready to have one himself. Hermione looked at him and smiled.
"May I have another?" she asked sweetly.
"All right, I can never say no to a lady! But this is your last one from me ok? You'll have to wait for the others to come." Fred said as he got up and handed Hermione another bottle.
"Oy Fred! Can I have one?" Neville piped up, putting his book down.
"Are you a lady?" Fred asked, twisting the cap off of one.
"Nnnoo."
"Then the answer is.NO!" Fred said laughing.
"Please may I have one?" Neville said, trying to imitate a woman's voice
Fred just stared at Neville shook his head 'no' and drank his bottle slowly.
"Fine! Well, I hope you know you're making me miserable right now!" Neville shouted as he went over to a wizarding chess board and started to try a game by himself, or plotting how to move when Ron plays with him.
Hermione just giggled as she heard them argue, while drinking her own lemonade.
"You just might want to slow down there Hermione. This is your fist time you know, take it easy." Fred said smiling to her.
"Yeah, I know, but it's so good tasting! Besides, I'm tough enough." She said waving her arm lazily.
She finished off the bottle and began to feel slightly light headed. 'Maybe I should have eaten something.' she thought to herself. 'Harry and Ron always say it's no good to drink on an empty stomach. Oh well, they'll bring food back too.' She placed the empty bottles on the couch, in the empty corner.
A few moments later, George, Harry and Ron came back, each carrying a good- sized case of liquor. Upon coming down the stairs and setting the cases down, Ron took a look at Hermione, who waved to him in return. He then squinted his eyes towards the couch and saw the empty bottles sitting near her.
"Hey! You started without us!" he said putting two and two together
"Oops!" she said sweetly smiling while wobbily getting up to grab a Hard Cranberry Lemonade.
"Man Hermione," George said, "You're a light one aren't you?"
"Well, think about it!" Harry said taking a Skyy, "She's had 2 drinks within a half hour of each other! Plus it's her first time! I'm sure you were no better!" he finished laughing.
"Still, I don't want her getting sick." Ron said opening a bottle of vodka and pouring it into some Muggle soda. "I'm keeping an eye on you!" he said pointing to Hermione who smirked at him.
"You're just jealous because I started drinking without you!" she said laughing.
"So now we have to play a game of 'Catch Up' eh?" he said after chugging his cup, pouring another.
"If thass what you want!" Hermione said smiling and thinking 'This is great fun!'
"Cheers!" Ron said to her, lifting his glass.
Hermione winked at him as she raised her own bottle and nodded.
