Hermione sat on the comfortable couch in her apartment. She was waiting for her boyfriend of six months to turn up and take her to a Halloween Party that was being held in the Three Broomsticks their local pub. She was dressed as a cat, a sexy cat according to her best friend and Ron's sister Ginny who had helped her to chose the outfit. She nervously fiddled with her black cat ears as she awaited her boyfriend, who was currently ten minutes late. Sighing she stood up and ran her hands down the short black tutu she was wearing. Why was that boy always late she thought to herself, he was late to everything.
"He would probably even be late to his own funeral," she muttered to herself darkly.
She checked her phone again to see if he had texted her and she was not surprised to see he had not sent her a message. Well, she thought to herself as she fixed her cat ears atop her head, I might as well make my way to the party.
She exited her flat which sat above her bookshop 'Exploration and Adventure ' and made her way down the cobbled path towards The Leaky Cauldron which sat at the end of the little precinct known as Diagon Alley. She entered the little pub and gave a friendly wave to the barman Tom who was dressed as a pirate. Deciding the best course of action was to start her evening off with a bit of alcohol she approached the bar, but as she did so a voice caused her to turn around.
"I was counting all of my candy when all of a sudden..."
"Ron?" Hermione approached her boyfriend who was surrounded by a group of four very pretty scantily dressed women, one of which was sat on his lap with his arm around her.
"Hermiiionee," Ron stuttered, "Whatt arree you doing here?"
"Attending a Halloween party Ronald," Hermione responded with gritted teeth.
"Who's she?" the girl in lap asked.
"She's my..." Ron spluttered.
"I was his girlfriend," Hermione interrupted, "But as of right this second it is no longer the case."
"Hermione," Ron spoke and stood shoving the girl off his lap, "She means nothing, and I love you."
"Go fuck yourself, Ronald," Hermione hissed and she slapped him across the face.
"You fucking slag," Ron hissed and he shoved her against the wall, "How dare you hit me?"
"Put the girl down Weasley," a tall blond barman spoke who Hermione knew to be named Thorfinn from the few times she chose to spend in the Leaky. Hermione allowed herself to check out the blond man who was dressed as a zombie.
"I bet she's been fucking you," Ron sneered, "She's a slag like that."
"Ron," Hermione cried, "You're hurting me."
Suddenly, Ron had let go of her and she breathed slowly.
"Than-," she went to say only to see Ron being pinned to the wall himself by Thorfinn, but due to Thorfinn being a good half a foot taller than Ron, his feet weren't touching the ground.
"Put me down," Ron was screaming.
"Alright Weasel I will put you down," Thorfinn replied and with that Hermione watched as the man dragged Ron out of the pub and threw him out onto the street with a final comment, "you're barred."
"Thank you Thorfinn," Hermione spoke to the handsome barman.
"Not a problem pussycat," he smirked at her, "Let's get you a drink?"
"Ok," Hermione replied and followed the man in the direction of the bar.
"So trick or treat?" he asked from behind the bar.
"Trick or treat?" Hermione queried.
"Tom's Halloween cocktail special," Thorfinn replied, "Vodka, pumpkin juice and a few secret ingredients."
"Go on then," Hermione replied, "I will have one of those."
In the early hours of November 1st, after having one too many cocktails a certain Miss Granger was being carried home by a Mr Rowle.
