In all her years Hermione had never contemplated using an unforgivable on someone but dear old Mr Malfoy was testing her patience.
"But seriously Granger - you've never been on a night out in diagon Alley?!" Malfoy said incredulously.
"No Malfoy, and it's staying that way for a long while" Hermione said with clear defiance.
"Now we can't have that can we? Get garbed up Granger - I'm getting you thoroughly sloshed"
"But I-"
"No buts, if you decide it's boring you are more than welcome to leave. Even Weaslette is going out, it's the alliance celebration - had you forgotten" Malfoy said Stunned.
"Intentionally" Hermione Grumbled
With a dejected sigh Hermione stood up and grabbed a dress turning to Malfoy...
"Well are you going to give me some privacy to get changed?"
"Why of course Granger, I will see you at the Party Bar"
———————
Walking into the party bar Hermione could feel a fair amount of eyes on her.
Oh yes she had planned to thoroughly wipe that smirk off malfoys Face she had gone all out on a tight fitting black cat suit with thin straps over her shoulders with her curls smoothed out.
As she passed security she could vaguely hear Dark Nights by Dorothy playing in the back ground.
"Hermione! I can't believe you came!" Ginny Screamed over the booming music.
"Yes Weaslette I half assumed she'd crawl under her duvet with hogwarts a history and avoid it all together, pleasant suprise though - may I add" Draco flashed a wolffish grin and lapped his eyes over Hermiones body in a Hungry way.
Shoving past Draco Hermione made quick work of getting drunk and by 1am she had acquainted herself with nearly every drink the bar had to offer.
Feeling her magic starting to lapse control over her body in an unwelcoming way Hermione made haste to the outside area to control herself.
Once outside Hermione held her beloved necklace muttering curses
"Why mother, when I need you, you won't answer? Why does my magic do this to me? I just want a bloody answer!" Hermione growled with enough venom her magic pulsed and caused a nearby plant pot to smash.
"Now what did that plant pot ever do to you?"
"Piss off malfoy, I'm in no mood for your vulgar comments" Hermione Spat.
"Now either you've developed a serious psychiatric condition which means you talk to voices in your head or somethings going on that no one knows about, what's going on Granger?"
For A brief moment Hermione Thought he may care but with a quick glance at his eyes all thoughts went out the window, he in no way was showing a caring demeanour.
Shoving past malfoy and heading off the balcony Hermione made haste of leaving this awkward encounter but was cut short when a hand grabbed her wrist and shoved her roughly against a wall.
"Now granger do you lie to all your friends about who you are or are they just special" Draco said darkly.
In this Moment Hermione considered how close his body was to hers and with a shaky breath replied
"I don't know what your talking about Malfoy, now get off before I do something we both don't like" Hermione spat.
"I hear the Gaunts are good at that, aren't they Granger or should I say Gaunt?"
