Author's Note: So I took sometime to actually do work for my real life essay (pfft) but I'm back with 4/5! I might actually manage to catch up today!

Prompts: (object) Tinsel/(food/drink) Bucks Fizz

Disclaimer: I don't won anything that you recognise.


Party!

"Woooo!" Hermione shouted throwing her hands in the air as she danced to the lively Christmas music grinning at all the people around her who grinned back. It was so muggle! There wasn't a single magical thing in sight and Hermione was loving being back in her natural habitat. It was weird that she and Ginny had decided to take on the muggle club scene rather than the magical but she had absolutely no regrets.

Everywhere was covered in lights and bright tinsel, baubles hung from the ceiling and there was a huge Christmas tree set up in one corner. The bar was packed with people but someone kept offering around free bucks fizz and Hermione had partaken of more than a few.

"You are so drunk!" Ginny giggled shouting over the music.

"No I'm not!" Hermione tried to sound indignant but any argument she had crumbled as she stumbled all over the place. "Well, so are you!" she accused childishly before bursting into giggles. The two girls bent double with laughter and kept on dancing.

Across the room Draco watched the crowd of people with a disinterested look on his face. He could pick out Blaise, grinding against some muggle girl, but no one really caught his eye.

"Can I get you anything?"

Draco turned to a pretty face and a suggestive smile as the woman leant over the bar to speak to him, displaying as much cleavage as she could in the process. He smirked at her and ordered a drink, paying her but then proceeding to ignore her as she pouted.

It was so, so muggle. He hadn't realised when he had agreed to go out with Blaise tonight that he would be bringing him somewhere so, common.

Two girls slammed into the bar next to him but he paid little attention. They were giggling insanely and probably drunk out of their minds. He continued to survey the room.

"Okay, I'm going to the bathroom. You stay here and get us some real drinks okay? I can't take anymore bucks fizz though, okay Hermione?"

Draco started, his eyebrows shooting up as he examined the two girls beside him. A short redhead broke away and headed off into the crowd, Draco soon recognised her as the youngest Weasley which meant the curly haired young woman next to him must be, "Granger." He drawled.

She jumped at the sound of his voice and spun around, somewhat unsteadily. "Malfoy?!" she asked incredulously looking shocked to see him.

"Isn't London a small place," he mused watching her try to compose herself with some amusement.

"What are you doing here?" she asked. "This is a muggle club you know."

"I didn't until I got here, where's wonder boy and his sidekick?" Draco nearly kicked himself for asking not wanting to speak to the Gryffindor idiots.

"Oh, erm." Hermione hesitated, blushing slightly. "Well, Ron and I broke up so Ginny and I, we're, well I-"

"Are you out on the pull Granger," he smirked watching her flush an even deeper shade of red.

"No!" she shouted almost stamping her foot in outrage.

"You are," he mused leaning closer watching how she was affected by his nearness. "Well, Hermione," he purred as she shuddered ever so slightly her eyes darkening with something akin to desire. "I always wanted to try a Gryffindor."

She swayed, he was so sure he had her in his grasp but all of a sudden the spell was broken. Hermione took a step back and turned. She ordered two drinks, paid and collected them all without saying a word to him. Ginny materialised at her shoulder and the two girls made to leave.

"Maybe next time Malfoy," Hermione called to him and as he watched the cheeky minx threw him a wink and a smile before strutting off.

Maybe tonight wouldn't be such a waste after all.
