Don't drink so much to the point of no remembrance.

"What do you mean you're not coming?! You'd rather go to a party then focus on this task?!" Draco shouted from behind me.

I was getting ready to go down to the party in the common room. The annual first-night-back party. I had on a small black leather dress, it not even reaching my mid-thigh. It was long sleeved, instead of my normal attire. I hate sleeves. I love to be wearing a nice thin strap and be able to show off. This stupid mark ruins everything. At least the top of the dress was cupped, so it accentuates my body even a little. 

"Listen, Draco." I started, looking into my vanity and fixing my hair. "This entire summer fucked me up. I'd like one night of peace before we really start focusing on this task."

"Well I'm worried, Cora. I'm not trying to get punished for your shitty actions." He exclaimed, his chest rising up and down from breathing deeply.

I scoffed, and turned around to face him. I crossed my arms over my chest. "Draco, you're being dramatic. Have a drink. Smoke a joint. Get over yourself. I'm going to have some fun." 

I left him in my dorm fuming, slamming the door shut and taking a deep breath, walking away from the door.

The common room was blaring with music. It smelled of sweat and muggle weed, and I instantly felt hypnotized. These parties really get me.

With every song that played, it provoked me to dance and move along to the beat and melody. I moved my way to the drink table, opting out for whiskey with a fruity drink, the flavor being green apple.

"Well if it isn't my favorite witch!" I head from behind me. I popped the cap off of my drink, letting it fall to the floor.

"If it isn't my favorite wizard." I smiled back at Theo, taking a swig of my drink.

He came up and placed a small kiss on my forehead. "Don't drink too much tonight." He told me. I scrunched my eyebrows. "Why? It's the first day back."

He smirked, letting go of me completely. "I just need you somewhat sober tonight. Come find me later." He winked before disappearing quickly into the crowded of drunken teenagers.

I stood there, dumbfounded.

It took me a few minutes to gather myself together, but once I did, I was instantly scanning the entire room for Pansy. I spotted her in the middle of the dance floor, dancing provocatively, and once I reached her, I grabbed her wrist and started pulling her toward an outer corner of the room.

"Cora, what's going on with you?" She asked, seemingly a little upset I dragged her away.

"It's Theo. I think he wants to have sex." I frantically spluttered out to her. She stopped and took a step back, laughing slightly. "So?"

"Pans." I sighed in defeat. "I'm a virgin."

She hesitated. "Oh." 

"I'm not ready. I like Theo, but I'm not ready! What do I do?!" I asked her. She hushed me. "What exactly did he say to you?"

Once I repeated what Theo had said to me, it was as if a lightbulb went off in her head. "Go get wasted, Cora." She said, putting her hands on my shoulders. "Go get drunk off your ass. Right now."

I took another round of shots, making a cheers with the random slytherins I chose to do this round with, knocking it back into my throat.
