She stared at Harry's hand on her arm, Blaise's hand on her other arm. She pulled up her arms and shook their hands off. She looked at all the worried faces around her. She had eyes like saucers and she slammed through Parvati and Ron. And sprinted down the corridor, ignoring her friend's shouts, people's stares and the bruises she was get from running into people. She turned the corner and slammed into a charm's classroom. No-one was in there. She sat in the corner, and tried to fade away.

You'll have to face them sometime. You know it.

She heard the door open, and Ron's voice called out,

"Mione?"

Don't say anything.

"She isn't in here." He said,

"Have a proper look." She heard Harry say, she shut her eyes and prayed. She tried to silently sink further into herself.

"What was that?"

Nothing. It was nothing. That's all I am.

"I don't know." She heard footsteps and saw Harry walk in. "Do you want lights?"

He walked around checked, the corner diagonally opposite her. He walked within a couple of inches of her knee.

"Nah. She isn't here. We'll just have to wait."

"Defence against the Dark Arts now anyway."

"Okay. We better go." With one last glance around the room he left.

She looked at the clock on her wall.

I'd be late if I went anyway. Ten minutes late already, and to get over there at least another twenty.

Hermione jumped as she saw the candles turn on.

"Shit Granger. What happened to you?" A boy stood there, he had black hair. A gauge in his left ear. He was wearing a pair of faded torn jeans with some black converse shoes. He had a black zip up hoodie on, and a black and white trucker cap that said skateboarding ruined my life in black on the white front,a lip ring glinted. But it had been crossed out in magic marker, and Harry Potter was written above it.

Echo Pringle. Hangs with a bunch of guys. Looks kind of cool. He doesn't know Harry, so I suppose I might as well talk to him. Not like I have any other friends after today.

"Life hit me in the face like a ton of bricks."

"Where's Potter to save the day?" He asked,

"Busy worrying about me, after all he can't have an anorexic best friend, it would be so bad for his sodding reputation." She growled slightly at the end, then blinked realizing what she'd said,

"Anorexic?"

"So what if I am?"

"Just wondering." He sat on a desk swinging his legs, "Guess they just found out then."

"Yeah. Hence me sat here on my own."

"Ahh well. I'll hang out with you. Got nothing better to do."

"Class?"

"Free. Shouldn't you be in a class anyway boffin?"

"No. Not really. We better go before someone comes." She stood up and started walking towards her and Harry's common room.

"Where we goin'?" He asked,

"My room."

"Oh yeah, head-girl eh? Bet that's useful. Oh one second." He entered a classroom, and a few guys walked out. "Right let me introduce you, this is Jimmy." It was a cute guy in some gothic clothes, he smiled and she smiled at him gently, "Then this here is Jason." Out came a guy in some cream three quarter length baggie trousers. He said hello happily and she greeted him in return, "And Sean." He smiled at her and she nodded her head to him, he had on some jeans and a white t-shirt with a black spray paint style 'tribal' on it.

"'Mia right?" Jimmy asked,

"How'd you know my nickname?" She asked,

"We pick up on things." Echo said with a shrug,

"Ok." Hermione said and she carried on walking,

"One sec." Sean said, and he entered the Hufflepuff common room, He walked out alter with a bag slung over his left shoulder,

"Right."

They hit Hermione and Harry's common room. She murmured the password and got let in. This felt like a new start. She slipped up the stairs and entered her room,

"Jesus fucking Christ!" Jason said,

"Woah." Said another guy,

"I know it's a bit grand." She sighed and sank onto her couch, "And Gryffindor like." They all giggled, and then she noticed Sean, Jason and Jimmy all had wide eyes and a grin on their face. Jason was sorting out a stereo that had appeared from his bag with speakers.

Must of charmed it or something……

Finch came on quite quietly and a CD collection was brought out. Then another one and another one. Hermione walked out and brought out her CD collection, it was in a round electric pink case.

"Drugs?" She asked,

"Mmmm" Said Echo,

"Got any?" She asked quietly,

"You want to try some?!" He said, shocked.

"Well, it might help me waste away my days in another way."

"OK." Said Echo, he grabbed Sean's bag and got out a bag of pills.

She ignored the voice in her head telling her not to.

"Kitchen?" He asked,

"Yeah downstairs."

"K, c'mon." They left Sean, Jimmy and Jason chatting furiously in her bedroom.

"What drinks you got?"

"Check the fridge; I haven't been in it for ages."

"Woah, privileges!" He said pulling out two bottles of fire whiskey, Hermione had a vague idea they were Harry's and the gang's but she let him take them anyway. He poured the both of them a shot. He handed her a small blue pill, with a playstation on it.

"They're the shit, I swear, you'll love it!" He smiled, "But if you don't want to seriously, don't push yourself. It's a big step."

"No. I want it." She said, a little glitter in her eyes, she put it in her mouth and swallowed it. Pushing the doubts far out of her mind she gulped down the rest of the firewhiskey.

"I'll leave one bottle in there" He said, he put on back in the fridge and shut the door. "You couldn't get another two glasses could you?"

She got another two glasses whilst Echo dropped two pills at the same time. They went upstairs and sat drinking and chatting until Hermione and Echo started to come up.

"I'm gonna go." Said Jase, "I'll be back alter I just need lunch."

"Me two." Said Sean,

"Me three!" Said Jimmy, and they all giggled,

"Bye" 'Mione said, and hugged the three of them,

"Bye Mia." They all said one after another.

"You comin' Echo?" Jimmy asked,

"Nah, I'll stay with 'Mione."

"Ok, see you guys later." Sean said as they left, leaving the stereo and bag behind,

Hermione and Echo talked for another few hours. It was nearly the end of lessons, Hermione and Echo had both had another pill each, and were very high and drunk.

"More firewhiskey darling?" Hermione asked,

"Of course my precious." He said and they laughed,

"Oh nooooo!" Hermione cried, "We're out of whiskey!"

"We'll get the other bottle."

"We can't!" She grabbed him, "It's Harry's" She said and fell on top of him. "Oopsie doopsie." She said, and got up "AHA! An idea has just hit me," She pointed to Echo, "The kitchens!" She hissed and they got up giggling.

They left the common room,

"Want a piggy back?" Echo said,

"Yeah!" Hermione said and jumped onto his back. They headed down to the kitchens, with Hermione's instructions. They got lost at one point, but soon found their way. Soon Echo was tickling the pear and they got to the kitchens.

"Dobby!" Hermione hissed, "Dobbyyyyyy"

"What would you be wanting off Dobby Miss Hermione."

"Firewhissskey" She hissed again,

"Okay Miss."

"Three bottles please."

Soon Dobby returned with three bottles of firewhiskey, she grabbed a bag of groceries and emptied them onto the counter she put the firewhiskey in and slung the bag on her shoulder,

"Come on, beautiful. To yonder common room!" Hermione gave directions and soon the were clawing through piles of students.

"Miss Granger! Would you please get off Mr. Pringle's back!"

Hermione grabbed Echo's hat and put it on. She jumped off.

"Sorry Professor." She said, and Snape ran away. Hermione and Echo laughed so hard they had to lean on each other for support.

"Okay. He's gone now!" Echo said in-between laughs. And Hermione carried on her ride back to the common room. They walked in. Hermione jumped off.

"Yeah, Mr. Pepper's groceries my arse!" Echo said and Hermione put another firewhiskey bottle back in the fridge, then she ran up to her room. Echo followed and Hermione fell into her bedroom, Echo and her giggled from the pile they were in on the floor. They got up and sat on the sofa together chatting about Snape. Hermione got up and locked the door when she heard Harry come in. She could hear faint voices. But ignored it. She put turned up the CD player. She sat on her bed and took a swig of firewhiskey. She motioned for Echo to come near and he sat by her and she passed him the firewhiskey, he drank some and then after a few attempts managed to put the lid back on the bottle. Blink 182 blared out of the speakers. She straddled Echo's hips, and smiled.

Their heads moved towards each other, and soon they were kissing furiously. Echo rolled Hermione over so he was on top of her. They kissed, and just as the guitar kicked in Hermione rolled them both over so she was on top, she did this just as Harry, Blaise, Lexi, Ginny, Ron, Parvati, Lavender, Dean, Draco, Pansy and Seamus ran in.

Hermione carried on kissing him, then sat up and turned around.

Everyone's eyes slipped up her body, where Echo had undone her top few buttons, and the cap that said Harry Potter ruined my life. She tried to look guilty but ended up half grinning at the same time. She looked down and did a button up.

"Whoops." She said and then burst out laughing. She had to turn around and will herself to stop laughing. Tears were rolling down her face, big fat juicy tears of laughter. Then Echo started laughing at her. And she turned around.

Harry was stood there, his tongue flicking over his bottom lip.

"Whoops indeed." He said, he walked out,

"Harry!" Hermione cried and leaped off the bed, "I can explain!" She ran after him and into his bedroom, she fell over onto him. Her face was right up close to him, she realized slowly about her wide eyes and shut them quickly. Just not quickly enough.

"What have you been taking?" He said she got off him and opened her eyes, he grabbed her wrist, "WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TAKING?!"

"Nothing! I swear, nothing!" He growled, threw back Hermione's wrist as if diseased and ran out, he strode into Hermione's room to see Echo lounging on the bed, with the rest of the group stood there watching, waiting for an explanation of some sort. But it just wasn't coming.

"What did you give her?!" He asked walking over to him, "WHAT DID YOU GIVE HER YOU BASTARD! YOU STUPID FUCKING- WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO HER?! WHAT DID YOU GIVE HER!" He took a deep breath, "DON'T JUST SIT THERE AND SMIRK AT ME!"

Hermione ran in just in time to see Harry laying into Echo. Echo punched back and soon they were brawling on her bed.

"GET OFF HIM!" She shrieked at Harry, "NOW! HARRY JUST LEAVE IT!" She walked over and pulled at him, he turned around, and she slapped him, "GET OUTTTTTT!" She screamed at the top of her voice, "BEFORE I DO SOMETHING ELSE I REGRET." Harry touched his cheek where she slapped him and walked into the bathroom. Everyone else went out. Ginny poked her head around the door.

"I guess you want-" She started spitefully, then looked at Hermione and Echo who were already back at it, "Fuck you." She murmured and slammed the door with anger.

Soon Hermione's shirt was off and lay on the floor discarded.

"Wait-" She said and got up.
