CHAPTER TWO- The Repercussions of a Night Out
Friday 22/6; Saturday 23/6
To: Herm; Sharmayne;Aneen Gnish
From: Gin Weasley
Re: Tonight
Tonight is Friday, as I'm sure you all know. We are a bunch of unattached women-Sharmayne, of course is an exception. She has a partner, but denies it- and as single women, we are free and solitary, enabling us to go out without any hassle –expect Hermione, who likes to make useless excuses.- So I have arranged for us a reservation at Ferae, then to Barney's Bar.
I will not accept a No answer from any of you.
Meeting place: Ginny's- we all know where that is.
Time: 6:30pm.
Restaurant: Ferae
Dessert: Barney's
Home: 2:00am.
Thankyou Ladies,
Ginny.
P.S. We are here to pick up, so jazz up.
P.P.S. Sharmayne, DO NOT blab to anyone, you have a tendency to do so.
P.P.P.S. Aneen, you may tell anyone, except Vanessa.
To: Gin Weasley
Fr: Sharmayne
Re: Dinner
Oh you are special aren't you? Of course I will come tonight, I'm just surprised you invited me. But thrilled none the less.
I think I might wear my Tony Bianco stilettos tonight. What do you think darling?
I think it was absolutely precious that you knew what we were going to say/do. I'll try not to blab.
Loves and kisses,
Sharmayne
To: Gin Weasley
Fr: Aneen
Re: Dinner
Thankyou for inviting me Ginny. It was really nice of you. I think I will go, I just have to get away from my Ex, you know Jeremy? He's so controlling, he seems to always know where I am.
Thanks again,
Aneen
P.S. How sweet! I'll actually keep quiet, though it seems Sharmayne isn't abiding your rules. : )
To: Gin Weasley
Fr: Herm
Re: I do not make up useless excuses!
…And for that, I'm not going.
You might want to tape Sharms mouth, actually don't bother. It wouldn't be sticky enough.
Herm
To: Herm
Fr: Gin Weasley
Re:Yes you are…
...going tonight! That was also a stupid excuse, using me against me, I mean.
PLEASE Hermione, my friend is head Chef there. It's a 5 Star restaurant for god's sake! He says, the A-list go there of a Friday night. Think about all the juicy stories you could get? And if they're good enough, Carl might promote you. Think about it Herms.
I'd try the tape, but they don't make it strong enough for Sociable Fashion Editor whose oral grip resembles a snake.

To: Gin Weasley
Fr: Herm
Re: STOP…
…giving me dirty looks over the cubicle.
Fine, I'll go tonight.
Herms
To: Herm
Fr: Gin
Re: that's…
..the spirit!
It's almost 5:00, so I'm heading off. Remember meets us at my pen at 6:30.
See you there!

HERMIONE'S JOURNAL
Oh my god. Tonight…drama, drama, drama. What was Ginny thinking? And how could've Aneen ever gone out with that egotistical ass Jeremy. Sharmayne, what was she wearing? For a 38 year old, she sure isn't shy to show some flesh. Anyways, I'll get to that later.
Here's my 'brief' summary of our Girls night.
5:01-Finished work, got out of building.
5:03- Got soaked by a muddy puddle.
5:05- Umbrella-no use. Fully drenched by rain.
5:15- Got to apartment door, couldn't find keys in bag.
5:17- Still couldn't find keys.
5:18- Gave up on key search, hid and apparated.
5:20- Inside apartment, found keys in pocket. Cursed.
5:23- Ran to shower
5:35- Finished shower.
5:50- Completed customary routine- 15 minutes, record.
5:51- Ran to closet, pulled out white turtleneck sweater, expensive denim jeans, leather belt and pointy black shoes.
6:00- Blow-dried hair, to no avail- resorted to magic.
6:15- Applied make up and surveyed appearance. Well, it was as good as it could get.
6:25- Apparated to Ginny's, all girls there:
Aneen Knee high black skirt, knee high boots and a pink shirt
Ginny Red Chinese style dress, with gold designs.
Sharmayne Mini (and I mean mini) cream skirt, white Singlet top with a white see-through three-quarter, a creamy coloured coat and stilettos.
Her appearance mightn't sound bad to you, but It was to me. Ginny seemed to love Sharmayne's coat, especially the fur –I hope it was fake- on the edges. Anyway, the dinner was pretty good. Juan -the chef- gave us great seats and extra attention. It was quite entertaining when we started ordering. I had: Pea soup, Moroccan chicken and a passionfruit and coconut cheesecake. It was delicious, but more so our waiter!
Ginny, had about two soups and two main courses- which is quite a small order for Gin- sometimes I underestimate her abnormally large appetite.
The music was so loud at Barney's, or maybe that was because I had too much to drink…but that's beside the point. Where was I? Oh yes, after an hour of laughing, talking and drinking, a group of boys ( I call them boys because they were totally plastered, and reeked of Tequila, Margaritas and Beer) came over and started talking- flirting rather- to us. One in particular- redhead- had his eye on Ginny. They were both so drunk, I don't think they knew what they were blabbering about and after about thirty minutes, Gin and the Guy left. They just LEFT! How rude!
So Aneen, Sharmayne and I were left with the rambling, sex talking drunks. Sharmayne didn't mind, she was planning to take three of them home. If things couldn't get worse, they did. Jeremy Jonks, over controlling, psychopathic Ex-boyfriend of Aneen's, was there. He was standing at the door, giving a death glare to poor Aneen. She told me He was a manipulating Bastard ( not in those words, she's to sweet to say anything like that) who always told her what to do, said that she was worthless, and the only reason women were alive was to look after the Man. If I were her, I'd have shown him what women could do…with wands!
He stormed over to us, and started saying things like, 'How dare you not tell me where you were going, you worthless piece of…' Poor Aneen, was just standing there, too afraid to say anything, so I did for her. Told him a thing or two, and muttered a curse under my breath at him. That'll show him what women can do!
Now he has a grudge against me, ha! I'm going to call Ginny now, I hope she's at her house and not at his…..oh god, I doubt it!
( Beep)
"Hey you've reached Ginny's phone. I'm obviously not home or occupied at the moment. Please leave your name, number and a cooking recipe and if it's nice, I'll get back to you."
(Tone)
GINNY! Where are you? Please don't tell me you were at that Don or David guys house…GINNY! Call me back.
( Beep)
"Hey you've reached Ginny's phone. I'm obviously not home or occupied at the moment. Please leave your name, number and a cooking recipe and if it's nice, I'll get back to you."
(Tone)
Oh my god! You are over there, else you'd be home! Ginny, you've only just met him and you're sleeping with him. Call me.
( Beep)
"Hey you've reached Ginny's phone. I'm obviously not home or occupied at the moment. Please leave your name, number and a cooking recipe and if it's nice, I'll get back to you."
(Tone)

( Beep)
"Hey you've reached Ginny's phone. I'm obviously not home or occupied at the moment. Please leave your name, number and a cooking recipe and if it's nice, ill get back to you."
(Tone)
SORRY GINNY DEAR, YOUR FATHER PRESSED A BUTTON AND IT WENT OFF, I DO HOPE HE DIDN'T BREAK IT. ANYWAY, RON'S JUST TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED. I MUST SAY I DON'T REALLY BLAME HERMIONE, YOUR BROTHER CAN BE SUCH AN IDIOT SOMETIMES. ANYWAYS, FLOO ME BACK DEAR. I COULDN'T GET THROUGH YOUR PROTECTION SPELLS, HERMIONE UPDATE THEM FOR YOU? ANYWAY, BYE DEAR.
( Beep)
"Hey you've reached Ginny's phone. I'm obviously not home or occupied at the moment. Please leave your name, number and a cooking recipe and if it's nice, ill get back to you."
(Tone)
That does it, it's been five hours and you're still not home. I'm calling the Police if you don't call within the next hour.

Re: (None)
You my dear friend are the biggest player I have ever seen! You get a girl, cheat on her and then dump her. If you've forgotten, remember: Danielle and Hayley? You went out with them at the same time, and dumped them within an hour of dumping the other. And just Wednesday, you broke up with another girl! Davey boy, you're running out of girls in London. Such a shame you'll have to leave soon!
Josh just told me you're invited to his next weekend and you're taking your new girlfriend (whom you met last night, I presume) too. Boy how I feel sorry for her. Please tell me when you plan to break her heart. You know, just so I can get ready for another yelling session down in the Lobby.
Draco.

Re:David Felnof
Subject: Jealous
Oh Draco, get over yourself. Just because I have more people skills and charm then you, doesn't mean you should judge my love interests. I actually think SHE is the one. I mean, even though I met her yesterday at Barney's – at all places- we really hit it off.
And guess what, she's in my Bathroom having a shower! You've NEVER gotten to that stage after one night since law school, have you Draco? Face it Draco, chicks just dig redheaded guys, with good bodies and charming personalities; not sarcastic blondes.
I guess you'll see her next weekend.
The Player.
I believe that you were a player in law school. Don't you remember : Charlotte, Nina, and Hilary?
To: David Felnof
From: Draco Malfoy
Re: She's the one…
…yeah, so were : Danielle, Caitlin, Jacinta, Sue, Sarah, Sally…and about 10 others. Davey, just quit while you're ahead. This'll only last a week or less, and if she's a Red, then, I'll give it about three days.
The reason I haven't gotten to that stage, is because I have matured –somewhat- from Law school, just to let you know. I can't wait until Saturday. Then I can tell her what an ass you are.
Ex-Playboy.
P.S. I need that report on the Donald's Divorce Settlement. So before you start shagging, email it to me.

Re: Hmm…
How Hard?
To: Gin Weasley
From: David Felnof
Subject: Sorry about…
…that interruption this morning. Danielle still thinks we're going out, but we broke up like ages ago. You see, she was cheating on me with this Jamalo guy, and she wants to get back together. I know, what a nerve. But I have you now, nothing else matters.
I really had a good time last night…and this morning, despite the several disruptions. Including this moron from work, who was emailing the most ridiculous things. I know that we have just met, but I really felt a strong connection between us and I would just like to know if you would accompany me to two things ( I wanna show off my cutest catch):
Next Saturday- dinner at one of my friends house and
Tonight for dinner.
I know you love your food (you ate at least 4 pieces of toast and eight boiled eggs) so if you want to go tonight, I'll let you choose the restaurant – as you are one of the best Food Critics and you know the best places. If you wanna go to dinner, call me later on.
;) Dave
To: David Felnof
From: Gin Weasley
Subject: Sure
I'd love to go to both, if it's alright with your friend. I also had a Fab time, I'll call you at about 3:00. I have to sort a few things out with a friend first.
Love Gin

"Hello"
"How many messages did you leave on my phone girlie."
"Well shoot me for worrying Gin. Would you be worried if I left the club and went to a guy's house- whom I just met?"
"Well no. Because that'd never happen to you. You're such a worry wart Hermione, anyways he was SO great, and I don't just mean his personality."
"Please tell me you mean his house, Gin."
" (Grunt sound)."
"GINNY! You slept with him…?"
"…more than once."
" GIN! He could be diseased or something- oh god that sounded awful- I mean, he could be sick…."
" It was so magical Herm. And just now he sent me an email, inviting me to dinner tonight. And guess what? I GET TO CHOOSE THE RESTAURANT! No one has ever let me choose, ah what a sweetie. To top it off, he said he likes me!"
" He LIKES you, after one night? This guy's playing you Ginny, and I should know. Michael did that to me remember, he said he liked me after a week, and then cheated on me and now he wants me back. Oh, Gin, don't fall into this trap."
" But Davey's not like that. He's so nice and fun…and…."
"Oh shut it Gin. You've already got lovey-dovey nicknames? Oh god, where's the crazy and fun Ginny?"
" She fell in love."
" There's no such thing as Love after one night. So I guess you're going to dinner tonight?"
"Yes, and you being the supporting friend are going shopping with me."
"Fine. But I'm not supporting this...yet."
"That's good enough for me. I would've invited you for a double date…but you're currently unattached…"
"Shut up before I change my mind. I'll be over in half-an-hour. So be ready."
"Ha, ok. See ya soon."
"Yeah, bye."
Diary of Shane Nigen
I can't stand Hermione bloody Granger anymore. The stupid Mudblood that prances around thinking she's all that; oh if only the Dark Lord were alive to kill her!
But no, the idiot and all his followers were defeated; the piss-weak morons were either killed or sent to Azkaban, that's why you never let a man do a woman's job. Though in this politically and sexist retarded world, men think they're king shit.
They all love her, laugh at her jokes and are always asking for her advice; it makes me sick. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother, why I play along; but I know I'll get her, I'll get her back big time.
And the best thing is, she doesn't know.
She just doesn't know who I am.
