"What, in bloody hell, did I just do?" Draco thought to himself as he stumbled back to his dormitory room. Was he completely mad? Draco shook his head and flumped onto his bed, utterly exhausted and intoxicated. He would have a headache when he woke up, and he knew it.

"Did I just-... no. No, I couldn't have." Luna muttered as she tip-toed to the Ravenclaw tower. "Am I drunk?" Luna held her head for a moment. Of course she wasn't drunk... but she passed the entrance way to the common room three times before she remember where she was and what she was doing.

"Oh Merlin! What have I done?" Ginny thought to herself as she climbed a set of stairs leading to the Gryffindor common room entrance. She thought she had been liberating herself, breaking away from the bonds that her parents and her brother held so tightly. So why did she feel so dirty? Ginny undressed slowly and crawled into bed, feeling miserable and guilty that Draco Malfoy was still in her head.

The next morning Draco woke up with a slitting headache.
"Good morning Draco!" Pansy chirped happily when she saw him. His headache increased dramatically.
"I'm going to go to the Hospital Wing to get an anti-head ache draught... I'll be back in a bit." Draco left the Slytherin common room as quickly as possible and swiftly made his way to the Hospital Wing.

"Urgg- I don't want to go to class!" Ginny moaned from under her pillow.
"Oh get over it Ginny, when do you ever want to go to class? When does anyone ever want to go to class?" Billow, Ginny's friend, asked.
"No... I have a really bad head ache."
"Go see Madam Pomfrey, she'll give you something for it no problem."
Ginny nodded and slowly, very slowly, got out of bed and put on her school clothes.

Luna woke up and looked around. Everything was still dark. She went to the loo and then prepared for class, but her head was absolutely throbbing. Luna decided to see Madam Pomfrey, hopefully, she'd give her a potion with out becoming overly- motherly as usual.

Draco walked into the Wing and spotted Madam Pomfrey near her medicine cabinet at the far end of the room.
"Let me guess Mr. Malfoy, head ache?"
"Yeah... I need more... I ran out.'' Draco handed her his empty vial that she had given him and she gave him a potion to drink while she re-filled his vial in the her office.
"You know you're the third person whose come to me this morning about a headache."
"Am I?"
"Yep, a Ravenclaw and a Gryffindor girl came in."
"Oh..." Draco had no idea what to say to that so he kept quiet until he received his vial back, full.
"I have to go to class now, thanks."
"Stay out of trouble!"

Breakfst in the Great Hall was interesting... all three students decided to pointedly ignore each other and, although they were acroos the hall, things were very awkward for Luna, Ginny, and Draco.
