{You say you can't live without me, so why aren't you dead yet?}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(This is a continuation of Chapter 2, with a drunk and mad Ron. Last chapter was just a bit of Draco action)

⚠️ Warning⚠️ : Some violence involving Ron, so if you really like Ron, beware!

Hermione's POV

I can't believe it. This CANNOT be happening. Ron...and the bar...now I'm probably going to lose all of my friends. I'm not sure what to say or do. Ron's always drunk...it's just he's never mad and drunk at the same time.

Third Person POV

"Ron..?" Ginny asked shakily. She was so shocked to see Ron, and a drunk one in fact. Just as she was about to ask Hermione, they saw a blonde haired man behind Ron.

"Draco!" Blaise called out. Everyone looked surprised to see THE Draco Malfoy, who was pretty much always in hiding.

"Uhh I'm gonna go..." Draco whispered before turning away. He didn't want to deal with the mud-Granger, Weasel, and Weaslette.

"Woah hold it ferret death eater," Ron spoke glaring into Draco's eyes. Everyone gasped, especially Pansy. She knew what would happen if someone got Draco pissed.

Hermione stood in the corner and start sobbing. Her cries started becoming louder and everyone's eyes were on her. She felt as if her world was collapsing; all she wanted was her boyfriend, good education, and a peaceful life full of fun. But this was the opposite.

It was hell.

"Mione..." Ginny ran over and started hugging Hermione. Draco sheepishly stood in the corner, watching Hermione cry. He wished there was something he could do, but he hadn't even apologized to her yet.

"Herrrrmioneeeee why you crying boo?" Ron's voice broke Hermione out of her trance. He was drunk beyond words. She realized how drunk he really was. Sighing, Hermione decided that now was the time to break free. Even though she might lose Harry and Ginny, she couldn't stand Ron. Every night would be the same. He would be drunk, and Hermione thought she loved him. But, Ron could go find someone else.

"Okay Ron, we're done. I'm tired of doing everything for you, and you don't even appreciate me. You get drunk every night. I can't handle it. I'm sorry, but we're done for good. Maybe we can become friends, but for now don't talk to me." Hermione walked away, tears streaming down her face. Just as she was about to move, Ron threw himself in front of her. He had tears on his face as well.

"Mione I'm sorry come on," Ron pleaded. "Give me a second chance I love you." Hermione shook her head and tried to walk past Ron. But, he was tall and strong, so there was no way.

Ginny now understood what had happened. She was shocked to find out that Ron was an alcoholic, but it made sense. Hermione had lied to them all, but it was to keep them safe. Ginny walked over and pushed Ron.

"Wait until I tell Mom," she hissed until her breath. Ron was a disgrace. Hermione deserved much better, and Ginny was going to make sure of it. But she first had to deal with her idiotic drunk brother. "Ron move."

Ron seemed to not care what Ginny said, and stood his ground. Just as Hermione was about to push him, Ron pulled her face up to his and start making out with her. Hermione tried to free herself from Ron's grasp but it was too strong.

"Let. her. go," a voice called from behind. It was raspy but confident. The voice was none other than Draco Malfoy's. His fist made contact with the side of Ron's face. Ron fell to the ground unconscious. Ginny quickly hexed him. She was going to do way worse once he woke up.

"Mione!" Ginny rushed over to see a frozen Hermione. She hadn't moved and fear was written all over her face. "Malfoy, thank you." Ginny quickly thanked him before looking back at Hermione.

"Malfoy, you saved me," Hermione stated in disbelief. Draco, the bully, the mudblood hater, the ex-death eater, just saved her from her ex-boyfriend?

Draco didn't know why he did what he had done. Now that he did it, he knew he wouldn't hear the end of it. At least he was a step closer to earning everyone's forgiveness. Something just clicked inside of Draco-it was like he had to save Hermione. He simply nodded and decided it was best to leave as soon as possible.

"Drake! Hold up!" Pansy called making Draco stop in his tracks. Pansy had been obsessed with him, but now she and Theo were dating. Draco and her and come to an agreement to be friends and were in fact, very close. "You should stay."

Draco stared back at Pansy, giving her a death stare. Couldn't she take a hint? "Yeah man," Blaise smiled at Draco. "After what you did, I think you deserve a couple drinks."

"Yeah you should stay," Hermione added sheepishly. She had finally found her voice and recovered a little. Draco looked around nervously before nodding. He didn't want to go home and deal with Astoria anyways.

"7 bottles of firewhiskey," Blaise smiled at the bartender. He gave one to Hermione, Ginny, Draco, Pansy, Theo, and kept 2 for himself. Luna and Neville had left rather early. After about 20 silent minutes of just drinking, Ginny spoke up.

"I think I'm going to go crash," she chuckled, obviously drunk. "Harry wants me!" Hermione shook her head, Ginny was a weird type of drunk person. She, despite drinking a lot, wasn't as drunk as she should be.

"How's Astoria?" Pansy asked, giving Draco a small smile. Draco rolled his eyes and mumbled something under his breath, that was  too quiet for anyone to comprehend. He was on his third bottle of firewhiskey. Draco had a high alcohol tolerance. He didn't drink often and wasn't addicted, but he could take it.

"Astoria as in Greengrass?" Hermione spoke up from behind. She was clearly drunk now.

"Umm yeah, she's sorta my wife," Draco scratched the back of his head nervously. Not many people knew, and he wanted to keep it that way.

"You could do better to be honest." Everyone turned around to see Hermione, who kept drinking, completing oblivious to what she had said. Draco slightly smirked, but was glad for the compliment. He had never expected it, especially from Hermione. She was surprisingly tolerable without Saint Potter and Weasel. They were annoying, and probably rubbed off on Granger.

"DRACO! What are you going drinking with a mudblood?!" a voice screeched from behind.
