Song: Getaway Car by Taylor Swift

Hermione waited at the muggle restaurant for her beloved Ron to show up. She looked at the watch her parents gave her for her twenty-first birthday, It's 11:17 he was supposed to meet her at 11:00. As time passed the more irritated Hermione became.

All he seemed to do those days was sleep, get drunk, and repeat. After another seventeen minutes Ron staggered into the restaurant and yelled, "Do any of you blokes know where I can find Hermione Granger?"

Okay, obviously he's drunk. This isn't the first time, Thought Hermione. He was beginning to make a bad habit out of drinking.

The drunk ginger sat down in front of Hermione and banged his head on the wooden table. Thud. "I have a terrible headache," exclaimed Ron.

"Maybe you should try not banging your head against tables. That might help...and a glass of water." Said Hermione, in a matter of fact tone.

"Good idea" Said Ron as he sat up a little bit, "I had the most amazing night of my life last night."

"You probably don't remember half of it," Hermione whispered to herself.

"Oh I remember," he stopped to think for a moment. "Parts of it."

In that moment Hermione noticed something on the inside of his shirt collar. "Ron what's on your shirt?"

He tried to move out of the way, but Hermione quickly moved closer and noticed a red lipstick mark on the inside of his collar. A shade a of red that she knew didn't belong to her.

"Ron!" she yelled, starting to fume with anger. 

He started to stammer, "I-i"

"I'm done!" she said through gritted teeth. "I have put up with this for long enough! I deserve better than this!" She stood up as she said the last part and grabbed her purse.

Ron grabbed her hand, she quickly jerked it back towards her body and into her coat pocket.

"Hermione wait-" 

Hermione started to walk away, but something inside her made her want to turn around and tell him off. So she decided to do just that, "Ronald Billius Weasley I'm tired of you getting drunk every other night and now... I just can't believe you... you cheated on me... and I know it wasn't the first time...I never want to see you again."

The brunette stormed out of the cafe and tears started flowing down her face. Just to make matters worse it started to rain, after a few seconds of downpour Hermione was completely wet. She looked across the street and saw a store. She figured she could wait out the storm in there. She darted across the road but before she could reach the other side she heard a car horn then everything went black.

The tall handsome healer banged his fists against the vending machine outside St. Mungo's. All he wanted was a snickers bar but it wouldn't come out of the muggle contraption. He started kicking the machine and muttered something about muggle contraptions. He got some weird stares from pedestrians but he didn't care. Eventually he got tired of waiting so he shattered the glass and grabbed the snickers. He opened it and took a bite. Draco walked towards a seemingly abandoned department store, looked around to see if anybody was watching, and then muttered to the dummy in the window to let him in quietly. The dummy nodded and Draco disappeared through the glass and entering the hospital.

"Good morning Dr.Malfoy" Said one of the young nurses as Draco walked inside.

"Good morning" He replied, smoothly walking by her.
