Chapter 1

A throughly smashed Harry Potter stumbled out of the dingy muggle pub that he had been inhabiting for the past several hours. Ever since Ron and Hermione had abandoned him the previous week, getting smashed had become a nightly ritual. Then if he was lucky, he would end up meeting an equally drunk girl (if he was lucky, that is. Just that morning he had woken up with a guy) and have a little fun.

As he waltzeddrunkenlydown the street ( which was in a very dodgy part of London), a young woman went whizzing by, knocking in to him, and runningaround the corner, her long brown locks flying behind her.She didn't botherto lookback to see whatever damage she might have caused, althoughhe had indeedstumbled a bit from the impact. Regaining his balance after a moment of hard work and concentration, he was suddenly run into again. He fell to the ground this time, due to the added weight of the man who was apparently chasing after the aforementioned woman. The man however, did give a second glance back. And in doing so stop abruptly in his tracks and turned around so that he was fully facing Harry. If the silver blonde hair, pale skin, and icy expression didn't give the figures identityaway, Harry realized, that he must indeed be extremely drunk. However, a voice brought him out of his thoughts.

"Potter, What the bloody hell are you doing here?" sneered the all too firmiliar voice of a certain Draco Malfoy.

"What dose it look like I'm doing you stupid ferret, I'm trying to get drunk...in peace if you don't mind. So if you could get the hell out of my sight, it would be verymuch appreciated, unless of course you'd fancy a duel or something of the sort." As soon as Harry had finished his sentence, he knew he was done for. He may have been the best dueler in their years at Hogwarts, but Malfoy had always been a close second, and also there was the small problem of him being smashed. But Malfoy didn't look quite so sure, in fact he wasn't even looking at Harry, he was looking the other way, obviously contemplating weather he should take his chances with Harry, or run after the woman. Harry, figuring that he was distracted, started to slip away from him, and in to an alley, to apperate.

"Going to run are you, Potty. Run back to weasel and the Mudblood." Harry froze. Darn, guess Malfoy had decided that the girl could wait, because he had turned back to Harry "No running you coward, you wanted a duel, well now you've got one. Crucio!" he hissed pulling out his wand. Harry, who was much to drunk to dodge the curse, collapsed on the street in pain, doing his best not to scream, lest there be any muggles around.

The minuets ticed by, Harry had long ago started yelling, and now he was just wishing for the sweet solace of death to take him. Then suddenly the pain stopped. Harry heard an angry shout of pain, and then a thud, and soon after, hurried footsteps coming in his direction. He figured that it was probably Malfoy that had fallen to the ground, other wise he probably would have been dead at this point.

Sure enough, only moments later there was a figure standing over him. And not just any figure, but the girl that Malfoy had been chasing just minuets before.

As Harry fell in to unconsciousness, he stared up in to her hazel-green eyes and listened to her tell him it was going to be all right. And he knew, that at least for awhile, it would be.

tada! the first chapter, yay!Now hopefully the chapters will, get longer and better. I'll try harder next time, but this time I just wanted it out. OK, i'm happy now. Please Review and tell me what you think. No flames though, atleast not yet. Maybe later though.
