I wake the next morning to Ginny jumping onto my bed. "Wake up, Granger!"
"What do you want Weasley?" I groan, really it must be only two AM.
"Its twelve o'clock you lazy get." She laughs and I jerk up to check my clock. Holy hell it is.
"Crap." I sit up and run my hands through my hair. I'm that shocked by my sleep in and wakeup call from Ginny I forget about the picture of me in Draco's draw. "I'll shower and meet you downstairs."
"Hurry up the spa is booked for two o'clock." She bounces off me and heads downstairs.
I groan as I push myself out of bed and towards the bathroom. How did I sleep so late? That must have been one powerful sleeping draught. My shower feels good and wakes me up.
At two thirty I'm lying on a massage table with my head in the hole sighing. This is just what I needed. It's a magical spa. Ginny found it, they use special magical herbs in the oil. My masseuse says my muscles are extremely tense. I don't contradict her, it's true. As soon as she starts I feel the oils working their magic.
"Ginny your amazing finding this place." I sigh.
"I know right?" She giggles. "One of the girls on the team recommended it."
Ginny has kept her hen party small, which suprises me. It's just Ginny, Luna and myself. She has informed us that we are spending the day here then going for dinner then on to a club. I did try to tell her this was my job being maid of honour but she was having none of it.
The day goes fast, we're having fun and I'm getting more drunk as the night goes on.
"Ok fine!" I shout at them spilling my wine as I point at them. "I admit it. The man is damn hot." They've been trying all night to get me to admit I think Draco is hot.
They shriek with laughter. "I knew it!" Ginny shouts back.
"He's not as hot as my Theo." Luna shouts back her shiny new engagement glistening on her finger as she raises her glass to take a drink.
"Of course not Luna." I laugh.
"I caught Draco coming out the bathroom once after he had just showered in just a towel." Ginny laughed. "I swear I was as red as my hair. The guy has a great body." I know, i think, ive seen it. "Don't get me wrong Harry has an amazing body I mean he works out everyday with the auror ffice. But I don't know where Draco gets it from."
I try to divert from Draco. "I bet it was nothing compared to Viktor." I say.
"I always wondered what Viktor was like under those clothes." Luna chips in and I can't help the laugh that comes from me. What no comparison on how Theo is better?
"What about Theo, Luna?"
"That is for me to know." She winks and the laughter starts again.
Later we're on the dance floor and I'm drunkenly throwing my moves and laughing. This is the best time I've had in a long time. A couple of guys try to dance with me but I'm not in the mood. I'm with my girls.
Just then I hear a voice shout behind me. "There she is!" I turn. "My gorgeous wife to be." It's Harry and he's very drunk I laugh at him.
He's holding out his arms and Ginny squeals and runs into them. They start kissing and pawing at each other. I grimace and turn away. Only to find Theo and Luna doing the same. Oh for fucks sake! I throw my hands in the air and stumble to my right. Oh Shit!
Just as I see the floor hurtling towards me two arms wrap around me and i'm being lifted up. Suddenly I'm flush against someones chest their arms wrapped around me. I look up and see Draco looking down on me with concerned eyes.
"What's wrong Draco? After a repeat performance?" I laugh to myself.
"While that does sound particularly tempting. You are slaughtered." He doesn't move his arms and I'm grateful. My legs feel weak. "Are you ok?"
"I dont know." I admit. Things are becoming hazy.
"I should take you home." He moves away slightly and grabs my arms so I'm a still supported, even now I feel myself sway. "I'll just tell Potter."
He moves but somehow takes me with him. Flush against his side. I see him talking to Harry but I don't know what he's saying. I see Harry just wave his arm at us and turns his attention back to Ginny.
"Come on Granger, let's get you out of here." He says keeping me pinned to his side as we move through the crowd.
"Back to Granger now are we?" My hand is grasping the front of his shirt so I don't fall over.
"Only when you misbehave."
"I'm not misbehaving. I'm having fun." I laugh as he pushes us through the door and into the night. "You should try it sometime."
The fresh air hits me and for a second I feel better. Then it hits my stomach.
"Draco." I whisper and he seems to understand. He quickly turns me around and I'm facing a flower bed. Just in time too because I empty my stomach seconds after he turned me round.
"Shit Granger." He says as he pulls my hair out my face.
My head starts to pound and my stomach is completely empty. Oh good Godric. Why do I drink?
A pathetic sounding moan leaves me and I slump back into Draco. "Take me home Draco."
"Ok." He rights me so he has a better hold on me. "Do you think you can aparate"
"I dont know." I grab his shirt again. "Just get me home, please."
I know I sound pathetic, but I don't care. My head is pounding, my mouth is dry and I know I must smell awful.
"Ok it's the quickest way I can get you home."
I'm vaguely aware of being moved away from the crowd my head buried in Draco's chest trusting he'll lead me right.
"Are you ready?" He asked and I nod squeezing my eyes shut knowing this won't be pleasant in my current state.
I feel him turn, then my stomach twists as I feel the pull and spin. We land gently but my stomach churns. I grab Draco's shirt tighter waiting for the feeling to pass.
"Are you ok?" He asks. His hand stroking my head. The feeling slowly recedes and I manage a nod. "Ok. Sit down I'm going to get you some water."
He sets me on the couch and I lean back my eyes still closed. I don't want to sit here. I open my eyes and stand up. I'm unsteady so I balance myself on the wall as I make my way upstairs. I'd just reached the top of the stairs when Draco calls me.
"Hermione, what are you doing?" He says walking up the stairs to meet me.
I'm not even aware of what I'm doing really. I push open the first door and lie down on the bed.
"Hermione. No, this isn't your room. It's mine."
"Tis ok." I slur as I close my eyes and fall asleep.
Waking up the next morning was not a pleasant experience. My mouth was dry and felt like cotton. My head was pounding. My eyes felt like someone had rubbed sand in them. Oh my God what was I drinking? I manage to open one eye and I notice a glass of water infront of me. I grab it and down it in one go. It helps a little with my dry mouth but not much else.
I sit myself up with a groan. Oh dear Lord never again. I take another look around and suddenly panic. This is not my room. I also suddenly realise I'm only in my underwear. My panic rises again. I can't remember getting home. In fact am I home?
Just then the door pushes open and I quickly pull the duvet up to my chin covering myself.
"Ah your awake."
"Draco! Thank God!" I start to relax.
"One hangover cure!" He hands me a glass.
"Draco, you're a life saver." I grab it and quickly drink it. I start to feel better almost instantly. "What happened last night? Why am I in your bed?"
"You don't remember?" He raises his eyebrows. "Granger I'm wounded!"
Oh please no. I can't have slept with him and not remember.
"Don't panic. I'm winding you up." He laughs putting me out if my misery. "For some unknown reason you decided to pass out in my bed fully clothed last night."
"Really?" I put my head in my hands. Then what he says registers. "Wait, fully clothed?"
"Yes." He laughs. "I have to say getting your jeans off was quite an experience."
"You undressed me?" He laughs at my reaction.
"Again, yes. You were completely out of it. I tried to wake you up but it was futile."
Oh the embarrassment. "Wait, I think I do remember seeing you last night."
"Was that when you basically threw yourself on the floor making me catch you or how about when I was holding your hair while you were sick outside?"
I feel myself blush and I put my head in my hands. I hear him chuckle. "Your having way too much fun with this." I say though my hands.
"I couldn't pass it up." I feel the bed move and look up to see him sat o the end. "Actually I'm saving you."
"How is that?" I say doubtfully.
"Ginny wanted to come up and wake you. What would she have thought if she found you in here?" He makes a mock shocked face.
"Oh." I turn my legs so they are put if the covers. "I better go sort myself out. Um, thanks."
"Anytime."
I practically run from the room in my underwear suddenly self concious. What a mess I got myself into there. I get into my room and throw myself in my bed just in time. Seconds later Ginny comes in.
"How are you feeling?" she asks as she sits next to me.
"Better since Draco gave me his hangover cure." I laugh. "What a night. I don't even remember getting home. Draco said I was sick."
"I know it was great. I can't believe you were sick!" She's laughing at me now. "Did you even drink that much?"
"I know I thought I was fine. Clearly not. It's so embarrassing."
"Well I have something to distract you." She grins at me.
"Not more wedding stuff please." I beg.
"I know you don't mean that." She playfully punches me. "We have our last dress fitting and we need to pick up all the suits and everything. I'm getting married in two days Hermione you should be more excited."
"I am, I am." I sigh. "I suppose I'm just tired. What time do we have to be at the dress shop?"
"Not for a couple of hours. We can grab lunch first."
"Food sounds great. I'll just shower and get dressed." I sit up and stretch thinking about what I'm going to wear. Then I notice the look on Ginny's face. "What?" I ask with weariness. That is her inquisitive face.
"So, what happened with you and Draco last night?" Oh I should have seen this coming.
"Nothing. Not that I remember much. I only know he took me home after I was sick in a plant bed." I open my wardrobe.
"You expect me to believe that?" I look over at her and she shrugs. How can she be thinking that after the state I was in last night?
"Really?" I question. She sits there waiting. "Honestly Ginny. Nothing happened, I trust him when he says nothing did. Ok?"
"Fine." She stands. "But if I find out something did and you didn't tell me there will be hell to pay missus. I'll see you downstairs."
Wow, what the hell was that all about? I make my way to the bathroom to grab a shower and thank Godric she doesn't know about mine and Draco's one night. Lord knows what she would think. She seems very protective of Draco for some reason. I'm sure he can help himself though.
I sigh as the hot water hits my skin. I'm grateful there is only three more days of this wedding stuff. Don't get me wrong I'm looking forward to it and I'm happy for them I really am. It's just been a lot along with the new job.
I get out of the shower and dry myself off. As I get dressed I try to mentally prepare myself for what will be a busy few days.
