The room that once held hope for lust was now filled with messy empty bottles of whiskey laying on the ground, waiting for someone to trip over them. Draco was almost a victim . As for everyone in the crowded area, they reminded him of the fire whiskey bottles, empty and useless.
As he stepped over the horrid mess, He noticed a full bottle of fire whiskey on a back table . It's brown honey pigment Hypnotized his gray eyes . The amber warmth of the fire whiskey took in the moonlight that seeped in through one of the windows to become a perfect golden hue. A mouth watering sensation enveloped the deepest corners of his mouth when he placed his lips on the rim of the bottle. Maybe The decision of trailing behind pansy into this party wasn't so terrible . The twins knew how to choose their whiskey,
All of a sudden, As the whiskey warmed his body and burned his throat . that party wasn't so bad after all. Well, at least with fire whiskey by the boy's side.
Malfoy ," Harry said, coming over to give him a handshake. "How's it going. Are you liking the party?"
He nodded. "Very much so. I am delighted to have stumbled upon it ."
The two wizards hadn't spoken Since the trial where Harry with the astonishment of everyone testified on behalf of Draco and his mother.
Harry slapped him on the back, Clearly a bit tipsy to be this comfortable with Malfoy .
"Stop with such nonsense."
He chuckled. "You talk to proper. Loosen up, don't be so stiff Malfoy."
He shoved another bottle in front of his face
"Here, drink it. You seem to need it more than anyone in this room."
Draco smiled and reluctantly took the bottle and started to drink. "I don't plan on staying long, Potter . I just wanted to make sure Zabini was okay."
Harry put a hand around his eyes as if trying to see something far away. " would you look at that....Is that parkinson and hermione having a delightful time together? Now you know you can't leave."
He dropped the glass and said, "What- what? Granger and Pansy? Friends ?" The words were heavy when coming from his mouth.
"Yep. But, unless you stay they'll never have fun So, go on if you want but we all know she'll trail after you."
"No– uh," Draco grinned, "I'll stay."
This was the first time in a long time he had seen Pansy happy with someone other than Blaise or himself. Astonish but nonetheless thrilled with her happiness
"Are you sure?" Harry picked up the bottle from the ground and handed it to Draco .
"I'm sure," Draco said eagerly.
That evening He played Snitch Cup , strip teased and whatever else the crowd decided to do. He won each and every game, but He kept remembering why He was there .
He watched Pansy Break for the past few days . He wished to do everything He could to make Pansy, her happiest. To look after her and for her never to feel pain again . And if staying in the Gryffindor party would accomplish that, then he'd stay until the sun rose .
Several hours passed, Hermione and Pansy danced and drank. It wasn't until Pansy along with Hermione managed to sneak out unnoticed.
It didn't take him long to realize. And once Draco noticed Panic switched on in his brain, blood pounded in his ears, His heart thudded in his chest, His hands shook, His feet tingled, His vision disfigured, as if he were looking through a Crystal ball. He couldn't remained himself , he couldn't lose her again. It was a discomfort in his chest, a feeling in his brain like excess caffeine, then it settled in deeper. He felt the urge to run,find her, protect her.
"Malfoy ," Ron startling the boy out of his thoughts
"Weasley" he returned the greeting
Draco shooked, Ron actually greeted him, but his panic soon consumed him once again .
"Shots?" Ron shouted over the music
"No but have you seen Pansy ?" Draco Barked
"I believe she's with mione up in her room."Ron told him
Relief Washed over him as he heard those words.
"Thank you Weasley , And about that shot, Later" And with that, He walked up the Spiral wooden stairs.
After checking multiple doors, He approached another wooden door opening it swiftly. Twisting the knob carefully as to not make noise. Stepping in the dark room, even the ticking had a relaxed feeling, as if it was a heart-beat at rest. Draco felt as if the air moved like cool water.
When he noticed to figure snuggled in bed.
None other Pansy Parkinson and Hermione Granger sleeping in the same bed like sisters. More than anything the Malfoy boy was baffled. They're soft almost soundless snoring echoed through the dorm.
____________________________________________
"Turn up the fucking music" One of the twins yelled into the air, their wand amplifying their voice
Draco pushed through the crowd of drunken teens looking for his friend oblivious to the fact he was put to bed by Pansy hours earlier .
As he rushed through the crowd he bumped into a familiar ginger.
"It's later, Shots?" Ron asked trying not to stumble over his words.
He couldn't believe the words that rolled off his tongue and completely let Zabini slip his mind.
"Seriously Weasley Is that a question? You should all know by now. Draco Malfoy never says no to shots."
The whole crowd of Drunken high witches and wizards Cheered for the boy. Glorifying, appraising him . And Malfoy Loved it.
After an hour of irrelevant conversations and drinking endlessly he slumped down on the velvety couch beside the fireplace.
His head spun with thoughts, He was a bit too drunk for his liking, He had fun but he always experienced so many people treating him as if they were his friends.
Are they my friends?
Would they hate me tomorrow?
His mind seemed to spin around for Miles .
"And if only for one night I can— never mind. What was I thinking? Some people just never change, especially Me."
He pulled himself up and headed towards the portrayed, He stepped out in the empty hallway, the music disappearing as the portrayed closed . He came to despise himself .
He tried to stop thinking about how he tried to kill a man who watched him grow up . He tried to stop thinking about the horrid scar in the inner part of his arm. All of his darkest thoughts that lingered in the back of his mind were now running loose in his mind. He couldn't take the pain and deaths he had caused. The guilt was eating him alive and he just broke.
Blacked out.
