I'm so sorry its been a while since I last updated. I haven't left the story I swear I've just been really busy. Thanks for all the reviews. On with the story...


Hermione had been to parties before. Of course she had what kind of 17 year old hadn't? But this party was different there were no parents, no teachers, and no control. People were tossing things, things that looked expensive mind you, around the room and nobody cared. Girls were sitting on furniture that was definitely not meant to be sat on, like desks and, in Lilac's case, bookcases (how she got up there, not even Hermione could figure out). The music was loud and the lights were dim. The room had the distinct impression of trying to squeeze too many people in to too little a space.

"Hey, Hermione?"

Hermione moved her attention from the chaos to Lilac. "Yeah?"

"Could you get me something to drink? It was kinda hard getting up here and I don't wanna get down and then try to get back up with a drink. I would ask Violet but she and the others seem to have disappeared." That was true, when the group had walked into the party Remy and Violet had been beckoned by some boys. Chris and Oliver had been right behind them and suddenly they weren't.

"Sure. I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere," Lilac laughed and promised not to. Hermione made her way over to a table with some drinks on it. She looked at them and tried to choose one for Lilac.

"You should try the punch." Hermione turned around quickly to find a strange boy holding a glass out to her. The boy was smiling wildly, slightly scaring Hermione. "Go on its not poisoned." Laughing he shoved the class in her face. Reluctantly she took a sip, it wasn't half bad, and she told him so. The boy laughed once more and left. Strange, she thought. She kept drinking the punch not knowing what was in it. The drink was some how addicting after one class, she had to have another and another. Before awhile she was starting to feel lightheaded. Suddenly the party seemed much better.


Draco was having a great time with Heather. She was showing him exactly how a muggle party was supposed to be. Warning him about how you never drink anything that isn't sealed. Someone might have slipped something into it. She was also a very good dancer and looked quite attractive in her tight dark jeans and corset top. But his attention wasn't on her and hers wasn't on him. A large crowd had formed around someone or something Draco could not see which.

"Follow me." Heather whispered. He watched her work her way through the crowd, peopling moving out of her way as if she were the queen. Draco's eyes widened in amazement. This is just too much. Before him was a sight he never thought he would see: Hermione Granger….on top of a table doing a very suggestive dance. Guys hooted and hollered. She smiled and kept going. Someone called out "Take it off honey!" Hermione started to remove her shirt but Draco ran up and grabbed her arms while pulling her off the table. This action was met to many boos and hisses.

"What do you think you're doing?" He hissed

Her face lit up, "Draco! Hey, I didn't know you were here. Isn't this a great party, I think it's a great party." She swayed slightly. Her breath smelled bitter and of alcohol.

"Bloody hell! You're drunk."

"No I'm not! I'm just in a really good mood." The words slurred making it difficult for Draco to understand her.

"Come on, we're leaving." He started to drag her out.

"No! I wanna stay."

"No, we need to get you home."

"No! No! No!" She slammed her foot down and pouted like a four year old.

"Hermione please let's just go."

"No." She screamed again.

"Have it your way." And with that Draco picked her up and draped her over his shoulder. She protested and banged her fists on his back. Her legs flailed but he held on tight. He didn't know why he did it; all he knew was that he had to get her home before she did something she would regret. Slowly her protests became farther apart and her fists banged half-heartedly. By the time they reached the hotel she was so quite and still that Draco figured she was asleep. He laid her on the couch and jumped. Her eyes were wide open and she was staring at him.

"Merlin, Granger you almost gave me a heart attack."

"Sorry," She looked queasy and was holding her stomach.

"Is something wrong?" She nodded before running to the bathroom. Draco followed disgusted. Hermione crouched over the toilet and poured her stomach out. "Here let me help you." He sat down next to her and held her hair up. This is going to be a long night.


Ok kinda a short chapter but if I didn't stop there the chapter would have been like 2 chapters in one also it would have taken quite a bit more time to update. Not much romance but there will be next chapter I SWEAR.
