Penelope had only been on the mildest side of drunkenness the other night at Ginny's house. She planned to go a little further tonight and just hoped that Hermione would be able to speak to her in the morning. She knew exactly when Hermione would return home and decided that she wouldn't be there waiting as said before.. she'd give Hermione a bit of time before she showed up.
She was ready for a bit of a sobfest, though she wasn't entirely sure if that's what was going to happen. Either way, she'd brought the appropriate ingredients: a bottle of cheap fruity-tasting wine, sour apple mixture and vodka. Apple martinis were a strong possibility tonight. Penny wasn't really one for drinking to excess on purpose but she felt she had an excellent excuse right now.
Just as the sun was finally settling beyond the horizon, Penelope Apparated to Hermione's door and knocked.
