Cheap Thrills
Up a Creek Without a Broomstick

"I've secure permission. Harry, Ron, Parvati, Neville, and I are permitted to spend St. Patty's Day evening in The Three Broomsticks. I have vouched for you all, don't screw up. No: fighting, dancing starkers, and abso-no-no leaving. We go together, we come back together. Got it?"
The cheer she received was equal to the protestations from the Slytherins.
"What McGonagall didn't say anything about us?" Draco whined.
"She's still our Head of House. By all means go ask Snape, he's the one you'll have to ask." Hermione declared stoutly.
Draco deflated. Then he perked up. "Hermione," he cooed.
"No, Draco! Definitely not!"
"Ah, COME ON, if you ask Snape he won't be able to refuse." Draco drawled suggestively.
"I appreciate your confidence, Mr. Malfoy, but you're on your own." Rallying gamely, "and anyway if I ask for the Slytherins, then the other houses will except the same....And I will have to vouch for them as well. Maybe not the Hufflepuffs. They're probably fine left to their own devises." Looking a Draco slyly, "not you lot...no. You might be a problem."
"Hermione...please." Draco, was petrified at being left in the castle while everyone from their year was having a good time, drinking and making merry.
