Love unfolding

Sister's night out

1999

Saturday October 30th

Hermione entered my apartment at four pm, and we got ready together, she helped me pick the right dress, and she helped me with my make-up as I don't do it very often, I just don't have the energy to do it. And I dont see the need to do my make-up if I don't want to.

But at six pm Hermione and I left the apartment and Ron drove us down town to a small restaurant, we started the night with a meal and a bit of wine and after we ate the time was around seven pm and we went out to find a new place to start our night.  

Lately life had been so busy for both Hermione and I that we hardly had time to hang out. But tonight, we were going to have fun and hit the town together, and I was excited to experience a real night of drinking for the first time.

We began at a fancy cocktail lounge. Hermione ordered a classic Martini, while I wanted to try something different, so I went with a colorful and fruity concoction. As we sipped our drinks and chatted, I felt a bit nervous, but the atmosphere was so lively that I soon started to relax.

We moved on to a lively pub, and the music and energy there were infectious. Hermione ordered a beer, and I wanted to join in on the fun, so I decided to try some shots with some people we met. I laughed and giggled as the alcohol started to kick in, feeling more and more confident.

We danced, met new friends, and played a drinking game together. I loved being the life of the party, and everyone seemed to enjoy my infectious energy. But as the night went on, I began to lose track of how much I had been drinking. My inhibitions vanished, and I didn't realize I was going too far.

Hermione, being the responsible one, noticed my unsteady steps and slurred speech. She gently suggested we slow down and drink some water, but I was having too much fun to listen. I wanted to make the most of the night, even though I knew I was getting a little out of hand.

Eventually, after a particularly enthusiastic dance, I stumbled, and Hermione quickly caught me before I fell. She looked worried, and I knew she was concerned about me. "I think it's time to call it a night," she said, trying to sound caring and firm at the same time. "Let's get you home safely."

I pouted for a moment, but deep down, I knew she was right. I was feeling a bit queasy and tired anyway. Hermione helped me gather my things, and we got a cab to take us home.

In the cab, I leaned on Hermione, feeling both grateful and embarrassed. "Thanks for taking care of me," I mumbled.

"You're my little sister, it's my job to take care of you," she replied with a warm smile. "We had a great night, didn't we?"

I nodded, feeling guilty about going overboard with the drinking. "Yeah, it was fun, but I should've paced myself better."

"That's okay," she reassured me, giving me a pat on the back. "We all learn from our experiences. Next time, we'll both know better."

Back at home, Hermione made sure I got to bed safely. I mumbled a tired "goodnight," and as she tucked me in, I felt grateful to have such a caring sister. Just before I fell asleep I heard Hermione talking to someone: "She's a bit hammered, good you came home early"

"Yeah, she looks dreadful." I heard Ginny say.

Hermione: "She had fun tonight."

"I can see that." Ginny laughed.

Hermione: "Ron's picking me up, so I'm going."

Ginny: "Bye, Mione."

Hermione: "Bye Gin."

"Ginny?" I said quietly.

"I'm here my love just try to sleep alright"

"Alright."

Then Ginny turn me to my side and place her arms around me, the last thing I remember before I fall asleep is Ginny kissing my head.
