Ginny let the bottle roll out of her hands, and clatter to the floor. Every inch of her hurt and she was tired of just laying here, existing. She needed someone she could trust, that she could say things to and they wouldn't run away.
She needed her best friend. She needed her Hermione.
She dragged herself off the bed and performed a sobering charm. It always gave her a headache, but she couldn't apperate drunk. Last time she tried, she lost a toenail. She pulled on her trainers and grabbed her bag. She didn't even bother getting dressed. She had on a tank top and some pyjama pants. The same tank top she had worn that night with Draco.
Draco. How he complicated her mind and confused her and made her happy all at once.
But tonight was not a night for Draco. Tonight was a night for her to be with a friend. She left a short note for George, so he wouldn't worry, and apparated to Hermione's doorstep.
