Ohmygosh, so for starters let me say that I'm so sorry for not keeping up with my story. I just realized today that I actually had reviews and I was on peoples favorite and alerts so I apologies. But anyway so another year has passed so I figured why not start up again. I have extra time with me being a senior and all so I think I will. I hope you all continue to read. Thanks! Here you go!

Chapter 7

So the game started off with good intentions. It was supposed to be just a way to get everybody to know each other again since Hermione hasn't been here in so long. You had the usual questions of" so what have you been doing", "where do you live now?" and of course "who you dating". All those answers seems pretty innocent till the dating one, thanks to Ginny, "well", Hermione started "nobody at the moment, I mean I just broke up with this guy so I haven't really had time…..I guess….you know..". We could all see that Hermione was getting flustered so we quickly switched topics.

"Okay, now the dares!" Ginny said happily.

"Gin, come on we all old now. Is this really necessary?"

"Nervous?" I asked

"No" she said a little too quickly to believe.

Ginny took this as a right to start to start game and said the rules. So basically there were no rule, the only one was that if you didn't do the dare you had to drink. Seemed simple enough, right?

About a half hour into the game I could see this wasn't going well. It was getting late. We were all become hyper and nobody was able to hold there liquor well. Except me, one of my many talents, I know I know I'm very talented. So trying to be the responsible adult for once I had to take away the liquor. After much arguing and dodging of Ron's fists, he's not a good drunk; I was able to put the bottle away. I don't know how long I was out of the room for but when I came back everybody was upstairs. Or that's what I though till I noticed the back door open.

"Hello?" I said to nobody. Nobody answered. 'Well duh Fred who would be outside', I thought. Then I noticed her, sitting just on the outside of the pond, knees up to her chest and head down.

"Hermione?" I whispered as I slowly walk up to her. Memories of me doing this on the night of the Yule ball came flooding back to me.

She slowly picked up her head to reveal that she had been crying. "Oh, hi Fred." She said in a dazed out voice. "You know what? I think that he's stupid" she said out of nowhere.

I didn't have the clue what she was talking but figured I should stay. I mean she was drunk outside by a pond, that could led to something bad. "Eh?" was my smart answer.

"Jon, he's stupid to leave me for that slut" she said as I know what she's talking about. I thought about what was happening and how just before she didn't want to talk about this. I figured I should try to steer of topic, I mean nobody wants to give out informant like this when their drunk.

"Why don't we go inside? It's cold?" I said. She looked at me and tilted her head. "Why?" she said totally seriously. I looked at her confused and just let her keep talking. "Why don't guys find me hot? I mean look" she said spreading her arms out, "is there something wrong with me? Do I have a repulsive body that I just push guys away?"

Now by this point I was completely lost at what to do. I mean I answer do I not…I figured I just do a little of both. "Um…." I guess she took that as a no I know b/c the next thing I know she right in front of me just looking at me. "Thank you, I always knew you nice" and that's when it happened. Her lips hit me. Only when I started to taste the alcohol on her breathe did I realize what was happening.

"Hermione" I said breathlessly and I pulled my away.

She looked at me and then stumbled backwards. I caught her in my arms and then looked down. She had suddenly got really pale. And small "thank you" escaped from her pale lips and then fainted.

Ok so there you go. Sorry to leave it like that but I really have to go but I promise that some interesting stuff is going to happen this is just like a passing by chapter for information. I hope all enjoyed it. Tell me if you have any ideas! There always welcome. Hope to see some reviews from you soon!
