Chapter 3: The Revival

When Ginerva Weasley awake from her stupor, she was surprised to note all the glasses in front of her. "Did I really drink all THAT!" She wondered aloud. She laid her head on her arms again, and heard a sinkingly familiar voice.

"Ginny?" At this she lifter her head again, and said drunkenly, rudely, "It's Ginerva!"

"Sorry… Ginerva…" It was then that she realized who it was. Oh crap! Not exactly who I needed right now.

"What do you want Michael?" she sighed tiredly.

Michael Corner stood in front of her bar stool and put his hands behind his back. He looked around and then leaned forward, "Harry told you?"

"Told me what?" she sat up, annoyed at even hearing his name.

"Uh…" he fiddled with his hands, nervously, "Cho…"

For a moment Ginerva blinked stupidly, but then the horrible truth dawned on her, "YOU KNEW?" she yelled, angrily, as tears began to form.

"Uh… Yes…" he confessed guiltily, and then looking at Ginerva's face, he hurriedly changed his answer, "Maybe…" And upon further study, cowered and whispered, "No…"

Ginerva got off her chair to glare even more fiercely, "You knew that he was… was cheating on me!"

Michael suddenly became very interested with his watch, "Well… it's late. I should go…uh… home-"

"YOU KNEW?" she yelled, poking his chest and baking him up to a corner, "You didn't tell me! Me, your first girlfriend. I should," she continued pulling out her wand, "HEX you!"

"Ginerva! What are you doing?"

The once-Ginny turned around to a find a very worried Hermione. "Are you alright?" Surprised to see a caring face, the drunk red-haired ran forward to bury her head in Hermione's shoulder, and slowly began to tell what had happened, "He…" But before getting far, Ginerva pushed Hermione away, leaned forward and barfed.

Hermione looked around, and said, "Let's go to my office. Ok?" Ginerva nodded, and followed a very curious brunette through the door.

At the office…

"Please don't touch anything. Let me get the ingredients for the potion so that we can sober you up before heading to your mum's. We cant have you going to dinner looking like you do. What were you thinking?"

Ginerva hiccupped at the now closed door, and looked around. "I don't know… what…uhh… my head…" For the third time that day, she laid her head on her arms, and muttered to herself, "You're such an idiot! You should've known! The signs…" she hiccupped, "They were all there!"

"Hermione! Where are you?" the green – eyed ex-Gryffindor called out in a sing-song voice, before standing up to touch a figurine.

The door opened and she hurriedly sat down, accidentally dropping the glass object.

"Why, why, why? What did I do wrong?" the girl looked up from her position, and looked at Hermione's sweet, lying face, "This potion will make everything alright."

Ginerva's lovely eyes lit up in hopefulness, as she swallowed the potion with a gulp.

A wave passed over her, and then she noticed that there were two other people in the room.

"Hermione, what in the world are those arseholes doing in your office?" she hissed, even more upset.

Her mind now clear, but still depressed, Ginerva burst out in tears, when Hermione turned and told Blaise and Draco, "Leave!"

With a sob, Ginerva told everyone in the room what happened, "Harry cheated on me, with Cho Chang!"

Just then Draco spoke, telling Hermione to go get his potion; knowing Draco wouldn't leave without it, Hermione hurried out of the door to get the ingredients.

Out in the hall she grabbed ingredients and came back mixing the potioin just in time to hear Ginerva say, "…in love with Zabini over here."

She walked in and heard Blaise speak, "Poor, ugly, and utterly idiotic, what more could you want in a girl?"

Hermione handed the potion to Draco and pushed them out the door, just as Ginerva broke out in curses.

"Idiots! Jerks! Arseholes! Running away from a women?"

Hermione knowing how upset Ginerva really was she went over to her and gave her a hug. When she tried to push, Hermione only held on even tighter.

Finally, Ginerva collapsed against her, and cried, fillng the clean air with the musty smell of tears.
