Prompt #11 Sorrow

Never did they imagine their lives would turn out this way. Not in a million years. They were of pure blood, they were beautiful, and they were rich. They could've had their pick of the guys while in school at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

But that was the past. That time had long since been gone.

Pure blood, beauty, and money didn't seem to matter as much anymore. Mid-twenties, freshly divorced, and miserable definitely was not what Pansy, Daphne, and Astoria saw themselves as being after graduation.

After the war, blood status meant nothing to few, so the girls had no choice but to integrate with the muggles they so despised. And soon enough, they discovered muggles really weren't all that bad. Yeah, they had weird gizmos and gadgets (like this thing called a sell drone, or something like that), and they couldn't perform magic, but there were some seriously hot muggle guys. The three Slytherins, as shocking as it may seem, had found the muggle club scene to be fascinating. They took to going out and drinking as a way to cope with their empty lives.

The three girls sat at the bar of a club they had taken to frequenting as of late. They had already had a few drinks to get their night off to a good start. Alcohol always took away the pain and made them forget why they were so unhappy in the first place.

"To hopefully getting out of this mile deep rut in our lives!" toasted Pansy, lifting her shot glass.

"To finding and keeping love!" cried Astoria, holding up her glass as well.

"To happiness and smiles for as long as we live!" Daphne clinked her glass with the other two.

The girls downed their ironically named shots, Cockteasers, and let out exclamations after they swallowed.

Pansy shivered as the alcohol burned it's way down her throat, "Whoa! What is in that?," she asked the bartender.

"It's one part Triple Sec, one part Peach Schnapps, and one part Midori Melon liqueur. Why? Too strong, love?" he gave a warm, teasing smile and a wink. Pansy blushed, her sour mood turning around a bit.

"No, no. It's delicious, actually. Thanks for suggesting it," Pansy usually tried her hardest to kept her distance from muggle guys, still not completely sure of how to act around them. Although she had been unsuccessful in doing so a few times and engaged in some one night romps, she was far from getting over her ex-husband, Blaise. Pansy only needed her two best friends, a couple of drinks, and some dancing to make her life full of joy and laughter again.

Daphne, typically the depressed and crying drunk, looked like she was in a relatively chipper mood. Astoria, the exact opposite of her sister, had always been incredibly bubbly when she was bashed out of her mind. Pansy, on the other hand, turned into a total slag, making it harder for her to control herself. The three girls always had a good time, nevertheless. Tonight would be no different.

Astoria pushed her surprisingly energetic older sister onto the dance floor and quickly followed, dragging Pansy, still talking to the bartender, behind her. They held drinks in one hand above their heads as they swayed and danced to the sensual tempo. It seemed like their luck started to turn around as the hours flew by. Drink after drink, and the girls felt better than ever. Their pain flowed out of their bodies as the alcohol flowed in.

They laughed, danced, talked, and flirted with some relatively nice looking muggle guys throughout the night. Daphne seemed to be having a great time, Astoria kept their energy level up, and Pansy had no problems controlling the temptress inside of her. The more they drank, the further away their problems went.

At four in the morning, when they finally staggered out of the bar, they were clinging to one another and laughing like crazy.

"Th-that was the best n-night I've had in ssssoo long!" Daphne stuttered and slurred while grasping Pansy's hand.

Astoria laughed gleefully and skipped down the sidewalk as best as she could under her level of intoxication. It would've been quite the sight if there had been any other people out besides the girls, "It was sooo fun! We n-need to let loose more often!"

"Yesss! D-definitely! Our lu-luck is finally turning ar-around!" Pansy shouted to the sky.

They hoorayed and twittered, talking animatedly as they walked back to wizarding London. Their troubles quickly faded, only to be thrown back at them later that morning, a terrible hangover on top of them. The girls could only run away from their problems for so long before they would refuse to be ignored anymore.

So what do you think? I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It's kind of close to home for me, but I don't know if it's as good as I hoped.
