hey guys it's been a bit sorry for the long break. but I will be updating again no set schedule but I will be updating. I know if I put it off anymore I will not actually work on it. in truth, I hadn't worked on it as much as I had hoped in the beginning but the best way to get things done is to set due dates so I will at the very least be updating once a month or once every other week. for your patience and for being such kind readers here is a bonus chapter. this is the night Hermione had her first drunken mistake that she shares with Draco after their drunken night. As always thank you for taking the time to read my stories.
Hermione continued to cry as Harry held her shoulders. He had been sitting with her for the last 20 minutes just sitting quietly while she cried over a boy who just broke her heart intentionally or not. She felt so stupid just because she and Ron had been getting along really well recently or shared a few glances or lingered around each other didn't mean they fancy each other. well it didn't mean he fancied her, she had actually had a small growing crush on the idiot since the fourth year. not that he ever noticed, no anytime she would think they were both on the same page both liking the other he would just get moody or turn cold. It had been going on for years now she was never able to get a real read on what he was thinking when it involved her or them. well now she knew, he wasn't interested in her she was just his bookworm friend. He was more into girls like Lavender Brown pretty bubbly girls who spent hours on their looks and fawned over boys instead of doing their schoolwork.
Well, at least she finally got her answer she just wished she had gotten it earlier. She wouldn't have spent so much time daydreaming about it or overthinking his small gestures she would be able to see his smile as just a charming smile instead of something that sent butterflies lose in her stomach she wouldn't feel hurt right now after seeing him making out with another girl or anger when he and she wore stupid grins and giggled as they hurried around the halls to try and find a more private place but ended up finding her. she wouldn't have had to feel even angrier or embarrassed when he actually asked what was wrong or if she was ok while the other girl hung off his arm.
Her crying had winded down to sniffling she wiped at her face and pulled her hair away from her cheeks a few strands sticking from the wetness of her tears. Harry turned to her and asked if she wanted to go back to the common room. She shook her head he then suggested a walk she nodded. Harry lead her by the hand down the steps they got to the bottom of the tower and stopped Harry looked left and right a little worriedly. She was sure he wished he had his cloke or map with him. She led him to the left and headed down the second set of stairs. She had memorized the perfect patrolling route and more or less knew the professors so she was confident she would be able to keep them out of trouble of being found. After walking a bit they got a start when they heard a clanking up ahead they hurried to an alcove to hide. They held their breaths hoping that it would somehow help hide them. they saw the shadow growing and the clanking getting louder. Hermione squeezed her eyes shut trying to get in the right mind space for what was to come. A scolding especially for her a prefect and most likely loss of points. oh god, what if they strip her of her Prefect status?
"DOBBY!" Harry whispered yelled relief filling his voice. Hermione opened her eyes Dobby stood there in his sweater layers of socks and tower of hats. He was also carrying bottles.
"HARRY POTTER" Dobby said a bit too loudly making both her and Harry shhh the elf he hurried over to them and they left their hiding place.
"what are you doing Dobby and what with those bottles?" Harry asked Dobby looked down.
"Dobby is taking these bottles and putting them elsewhere, Blinky sometimes mixes up the bottles she does. We ant good with things stronger than Butterbeer we ant. Blinky doesn't mean to grab the other stuff Dobby swears she doesn't her eyes are just always blurry is all, but when she learns her mistake she to sad to stop, so Dobby decided to take some of the harder stuff out of the kitchen, and hid them eles where were Dobby can find them easily if anyone asks for them, but Dobby isn't worried most of the Professor keep their own in their chambers. And if any ask Dobby will grab some and bring it right to them, in truth Blim said it was probably a good thing Dobby was doing this." Dobby looked around before continuing " for Professor Trelawney has been stopping by for bottles even though it still so early in the year. Blim would never say no to Professor Trelawney unless headmaster Dumbleodor said so but he doesn't like saying yes either he says he had seen her just take a few bottles he has not even asked just take and stumble out. He worries but doesn't want to bother Headmaster Dumbledore." Hermione looked at the bottles in Dobby's arms one was mead but the other two were fire whiskey.
" oh Miss Hermione Granger been crying, wait Dobby got a handkerchief just one second." Dobby set the bottles on the ground and shoved one arm into the sleeve of his sweater he pulled out a small cloth flowed by others. She wonder how many he had in there, he reached up to hand it to her and she took it. it had a stain and was torn on the ends but she was thankful for the gesture. She thanked him and promised to give it back soon Dobby told her not to worry he had lots. He went to pick up the bottles again but paused as he looked back at them.
" Dobby really shouldn't but if Harry Potter and Miss Hermione Granger want Dobby can give them a bottle."
"sure that would be nice thank you Dobby," Hermione said quickly she felt Harry staring at her she knew what he was thinking he thought that she would have declined she was sure he was going to as well but she had a crappy night and she was going to have a try of drinking her sorrows away. Tonight at least she had no intentions of making this a regular thing.
"Ok Dobby will give you one of these but don't ask Dobby again Dobby will probably give you more but will be truly upset Dobby would have to punish himself," He told them they both assured him that they would not ask for another bottle and that there would be no need for him to punish himself. Once Dobby left she and Harry went to find an empty classroom and open the bottle of fire whiskey.
Hermione remembers the night just fine it wasn't like she was blackout drunk or unaware or anything but she can never really pinpoint how she and Harry went from drinking complaining about how much love and crushes suck and how it's way too complicated. Both hint at their own red-haired without saying it straight out. She remembered that Harry talked about how he was insecure about any kind of relationship. That although there have been one or two females that seemed to have an interest in him. they didn't really seem to like him he wasn't sure if he just wasn't what they thought he would be like or if he just really sucked at trying to flirt or build a romantic relationship.
He talked about the past kiss with Chow and how that is what he ends up thinking about any time he even thinks about making a move on someone who he fancies. She was sure something else must have happened but all she can recall was snogging him and jerking him off. After that he ask if he could try something he had seen on TV when the Dursleys weren't at home she agreed and she found herself spread out on the floor while he ate her out. She had been surprised at how good he actually was at it. after she came she noticed that he was again hard and asked if he wanted to keep going he told her he did. So she blew him which turned into them 69 each other. They had both agreed sex wasn't on the table they had even drunkenly joked and giggled that they were going to regret what they had done but it was truly an experience. She assured him that he had nothing to worry about his skills and that whoever he ended up with would be more than pleased with him. He told her the same.
Just as they had thought and joked about the next day they both did regret it to some degree. Not that they did anything wrong they just didn't really see each other that way. That night had just been a stupid drunk insecurity and seeking comfort fling. She wasn't sure if Harry felt the same way but she couldn't help but think it felt like waking up and finding out you had messed around with your cousin. They took some time keeping their distance from one another. Hermione decided that she needed a little time away from her boys. Besides what harm can spending a little time away from them do?
