*Hermione wasn't entirely sure Aurelie wished to speak with her any longer... But that was alright by her really, whatever made her more comfortable. In fact, Hermione took another sip at her drink and smiled warmly to her before picking up her novel again, somewhat eager to get back into the story.*
*Yet it wasn't long before she heard a very familiar voice, one that used to merely send delight coursing through her, and yet now that delight was tinted by uncertainty... Indeed Hermione had her doubts about her best friend... Doubts that she loathed and tried to bury at this point. She looked up from her book, and at his grin, she dared to believe that the old Harry was truly indeed back... And a bright grin spread across her face as well, lighting up gentle brown eyes. She rose from her chair, setting her book down, and rising to stride over and hug Harry lightly in greeting.*
Hullo there Harry. Ah yes, thanks. I'll head over and get it as soon as possible. I wondered where it had gotten off to...
*She grinned brightly and nodded, drawing back as she spoke after the quick hug. Indeed Hermione was looking much better after quite a bit of rest, and was quite like her old self again.*
*Her gaze darkened a little as she heard Harry ask for some Firewhiskey. Indeed alcohol was quite a touchy subject with Hermione. As with what Ron was up to and all... She sighed gently, but still smiled up at him and sipped her water once more, which she had brought over with her.*

*nods*
About a year ago now. Not too long ago.
*puts down her glass and smiles once more*
Well, it was very nice to meet you, Hermoine. But, I must be going now.
*passes the boy on her way out*

Harry rolled his eyes as the other girl ignored his request and sauntered out past them. Glancing briefly at Hermione, he made his way across to the bar. Even he had to admit he'd been drinking too much recently, but the release that the alcohol gave was just too tempting. Anyway, he had to somehow get through all those long lonely nights without Ginny. She was definitely avoiding him, and while he didn't really blame her, he thought she'd have had the decency to say something to him, especially after their night together a few weeks ago. He sighed, pouring himself a large measure of the amber liquid before making his way across to the chair opposite Hermione.[/blockquote]

*Hermione glanced up in a little bit of surprise as Aurelie exscused herself and made her way out*
Oh... Alright then, see you around I suppose.
*She hadn't missed the wary glances Harry was sending Aurelie, and simply them made her tense up just a little bit. But she would return to her seat and her water, leaving her novel upon the table. Indeed, Hermione couldn't go anywhere without a precious book in tow.*
*She watched Harry quietly from her seat as he made his way to the bar and poured himself a glass of that vile liquid, bringing it back to where she sat. Well... She could, at least, help him regulate it, she hoped... But as he returned to her table and took the seat across from her, she would offer him a light smile. Hermione was, and always would be, his friend... Nothing could change that... She would stand beside him as long as he wanted her there... And after what they had been through lately... She hoped his desire for her at his side wouldn't falter, though for once doubts plagued her mind about such things. Yet she kept smiling through it all, more than willing to help him through it.*
Harry, how have you been? I know I've seen you quite a bit the last little bit, and yet truly it seems as if I haven't seen you at all...
*She furrowed her brows a little, somewhat confusing herself with her own words. Yet they made sense. Hermione hadn't exactly been with it enough to really see how Harry was doing lately.*

Harry sighed, sipping his firewhiskey as he listened to her. His shoulders rose in a shrug as he set the rippled glass down on the table in front of him, leaning back in his chair. In truth, he hadn't been great recently. He missed Ron so much, and with Hermione flitting between the two of them, it was becoming more and more lonely. Still, what could he expect when he was possibly the most wanted wizard in the world. "I'm fine," he replied in a nonchelant manner, not quite meeting her eyes.[/blockquote]

*Hermione reached for her glass, her eyes searching along Harry's face. She could see pain in his eyes... Things were not going well at all. She would sip her water lightly before putting the glass down again. When he put his glass down upon the table, Hermione would move her hand away from her own glass to be placed against his. She left it there for a moment, smiling only slightly at his words and the way he didn't meet her eyes.*
Liar...
*She said simply, almost in a slightly teasing manner, though her voice was low, and not lifted in a happy way. She knew a bit of what was going on. Heck, she knew there was a rift between Ron and Harry... She herself flew across it all the time. Which reminded her... She really needed to go see Ron... Alone. But she tried to meet Harry's eyes. He needed her right then...*
It will be alright Harry... I plan to go see Ron soon, and once I do, I will force him to see reason... Poor guy still thinks I'm dead... I still don't understand that...
*She furrowed her brows slightly as she now looked off to the side, reliving that night where the fight between Harry and Ron (Mostly if not all Ron) broke out, and she apparated in, in the middle of it. All of that was a blur, and once Harry had left, Ron had passed out soon after from all the alcohol in his system... She hadn't been to see him since, considering she had still been recouperating... But indeed she glanced back to Harry and nodded again.*
He'll come around... He always does. All will be well soon.
*She nodded, that certain, determined smile back in place on her pretty features.*

Harry shook his head, sighing heavily. "He won't listen to me, or even talk to me for that matter. I just don't see the point in trying to make him see reason..." He frowned, her hand warm against his. He let his fingers lace with hers for a moment, glad of her presence, before moving his hand away from her again to play with his whiskey glass. It was easier to just pretend this wasn't happening than to face up to everything that was going on. It wasn't like he hadn't tried with Ron after all.

*She smiled warmly at him as she held her hand upon his for a few more moments. She then nodded in response to his words and sighed gently*
Just give him time Harry... He needs time... And to realize I'm not dead... And to get off the Firewhiskey...
*She eyed Harry's glass, a slight narrowing of her eyes being given, but nothing said to Harry on this matter. She sighed and shook her head a little*
He's so pigheaded sometimes... But you know him as well as I do... He'll come around. He just needs time...
*She watched as Harry laced his fingers with hers and she smiled gently as she would give his hand a gentle squeeze in this position before releasing it as he drew back. She nodded again as she moved her hand back to wrap lightly around her water glass.*
Don't worry Harry... We will get through this. We always do...
*She nodded slightly and sighed as she glanced down at the table for a moment biting her lip a little*
Goodness things never were simple for us... Were they... But they were a heck of a lot simpler than this...
*She shook her head a little, but looked back up to him, determination shining in her eyes*
But we will get through these times. We just have to focus and...
*She faltered*
And stick together...

*Evelyn hears the door open minutes later and looks up for the third and fourth time. She sees a witch with bushy brown hair and another witch with long black hair come in and sit down at the same table.*
Again the doors opens and people come in. Must be that time of day. Hey, Andromeda, say I've got to go home now, parents expect me soon. I'm only fifteen.
*She gets up and starts to leave.*
It was nice meeting you. I plan to be Healer soon. I just hope these bad times end soon.

Harry sighed, nodding. They really did have to stick together. They wouldn't get anywhere if they were divided. Still, recently, Harry had been feeling completely segregated. Even the people who did believe and trust him, had left him to his own devices. He hated being cooped up in Grimmauld Place all the time. The more he stayed there, the more he felt for Sirius all those years ago. With both the Ministry and the Death Eaters searching for him, there was no where he was safe. "Will you talk to him for me? Get him to come over and talk to me...sober?"

*Hermione sighed slightly and swirled the small bit of water still in her glass around as she thought about all this. Indeed... She knew that they needed to stick together, and yet these last few... Well this last little bit she found it hard and confusing... But her loyalty to her two best friends had been unwavering... And yet as their loyalty to eachother wavered... She sighed slightly and snapped out of it, offering Harry another smile. Hermione looked tired... And yet the same determination that had always shone in her eyes, remained there now.*
*She nodded slightly in response to Harry's request.*
Of course I will Harry. Of course I will. And he will come around. He needs to throw that Firewhiskey out the window though...
*A dark look was glanced at Harry's glass, but she sipped at the water again and sighed*
Or at least drank in moderation...
*She nodded in understanding before glancing off for a moment, wondering how he would react to her apparating into his home right then...*
(Yea not sure if I'm allowed to do that right now when I'm on trial... Not sure exactly on the rules here for that.)

Harry noted Hermione's glance toward the amber liquid in his glass, and bit his lip. So he wasn't quite as bad as he'd heard Ron had gotten, but he did use firewhiskey as a crutch an unhealthy amount. Looking guilty, he took another little sip before pushing his glass away. There was no point making her angry while she was trying to help him. "I appreciate it," he nodded, glancing up at her. He had a feeling that Hermione was the only one Ron would listen to.

*Hermione's gaze darted away from the glass and she sipped from her water again, her eyes drawing to Harry's. She noted how he bit his lip and looked rather guilty. She winced inwardly. She didn't want to upset Harry either honestly... And she didn't want him to suffer more than he already was... She sighed gently and would not look back to the Firewhiskey he was drinking, but merely focus upon him and the surroundings a bit so not to make him feel awkward. She nodded in response to his words and even continued to offer him a slight, though somewhat shaky smile*
Don't worry about it. Ron's thick headed some of the... Well most of the time...
*She grinned a bit, but shook her head a little*
But he's not completely unreasonable... When he's sober.
*She added as a side note, shaking her head some.*
But other than that... How are you really...?
*She asked this, gentleness coating her words as her brown eyes searched his gently for any clues.*

Harry sighed, smiling genuinely at her. Now all the heavy stuff was out of the way, he was starting to feel relaxed. "Honestly, I'm alright. Going a little stir crazy in that house, but apart from that I'm fine." He leaned back in his chair, letting two legs lift off the ground a little. "You? Where are you living at the moment?"
((Just keep it here for the time being. I'll talk to Draco and see if we can get you a live trial in the Burrow with me and Ron))
