"One more here!'" Hermione screamed as she downed yet another shot of firewhiskey. She slammed the glass against the bar counter and slumped her head down onto the bar.

"And then- that jerk doesn't even bother calling!," Hermione continued ranting.

"I don't even care about him anymore but he could at least act civil right? We were best friends for years for God's sake!," Hermione continued blabbering while wildly flailing her arms around.

Draco eyed the drunk witch infront of him with a smirk. She was clearly a lot more entertaining when she was drunk. Unfortunately, she had been ranting all about her idiotic excuse for a boyfriend for the past hour.

"Here you go, Miss," the bartender said before passing a shot of firewhiskey to Hermione.

Before she could reach for the glass however, Draco held her hands and stilled her movements. "Alright, I think that's enough for you Granger," Draco said, while moving the glass away from her.

Hermione gave him a pained expression before it morphed into anger.

"You keep playing with me Malfoy. What is it really that you want,huh?," Hermione hiccupped.

Draco flashed her a grin before slowly muttering to himself. "Trust me, Granger. I'm figuring that as well,"

"What?," Hermione slurred, her mind now all fuzzy from the alcohol. She never had been good with alcohol.

Before Draco could reply, Ginny marched to the bar and eyed her drunk brunette friend.

"Come on, Hermione. Time to go home," Ginny grunted as she tried to get Hermione to stand.

Hermione swayed on her feet before losing her balance and stumbled . Draco immediately caught her with his arms and righted her on her feet.

"Please, let me help you get her home," Draco offered while his arm wrapped around Hermione's waist, steading her.

"Um, I don't think that's such a good idea," Ginny said, worriedly as she eyed her friend again.

"No, really it's fine. It's late anyways, and she can barely stand," Draco said again, now abit worried as he eyed the witch.

"Err I guess, thanks Malfoy," Ginny said with a smile, relieved.

They both apparated to Hermione's home and was immediately greeted by Crookshanks.

Hermione who was now half awake and was leaning into Draco immediately stood up and stumbled up the stairs to her bedroom.

"Oh my god, Hermione, seriously how much did you drink?," Ginny said worried.

She almost lost her footing at the stairs and luckily Draco and Ginny both managed to catch her in time.

"I'm fineeee, Gin!," Hermione slurred as she leaned against the wall for support.

"Maybe you could get her a glass of water, Potter while I help her up," Draco said as he lifted her into his arms and carried her into her room.

Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck and sighed dreamily as she breathed in his scent.

Draco slowly lowered her down on her bed and as he moved to adjust the pillow under her head, Hermione slowly opened her eyes and scrunched her eyes in confusion as saw the pale handsome face infront of her.

She lifted her palm and traced down the contours of his face as he fixed his eyes on her, transfixed.

She felt her fingers trace down from his arched eyebrows to his long pale eyelashes to his sharp nose and finally down to his lips.

"What are you doing to me, Granger?," Draco asked, huskily as he watched her golden eyes trace down his face.

He slowly took the hand from his face kissed the inside of her palm before he stood up and tucked her into the sheets.

By the time he was done, Hermione had dozed off. Draco gave one last fleeting glance and felt himself shake his head in amusement at the witch.

It had been an entertaining night watching her let loose and finally come out of the shell he she always was in when he was around her.

Ginny silently watched Draco as he looked at the Hermione. She slowly entered the room and pretended she had just came in.

Draco immediately looked up at her and said "I'd better make a move now,"

"Thanks Malfoy for your help," Ginny smiled in thanks.

As Ginny heard the rumble of floo signalling his exit, she slowly glanced at her friend in bed.

'She deserves to be happy' Ginny said to herself as she recalled the night.

She had watched from afar the whole time as Hermione sat by the bar with Malfoy. She was flailing her arms wildly one second and the next she would be laughing her arse off as he watched, completely transfixed by her.

One thing Ginny knew for sure, Ron was going to regret leaving her behind, especially in the arms of a charming Malfoy who was completely smitten by Hermione.

A/N: Thank you SB- Potterhead Budgie Lover, Little Miss Perfect7and Danikae for your feedbacks! Ps: Danikae, as you can see from this chapter, Ginny was actually watching Hermione from afar. She knew Hermione was some-what attracted to him and she wanted her to finally let loose from Ron. Thank you for your feedback! :D
