Author: kalina_blue
Rating: PG-13
Prompt Set: 100.1 (Draco/Hermione)
Prompt: 51. Thunder
Word Count: 499
Summary: Draco finds that going out with his colleagues is amusing after all.
Warnings: Post-DH, EWE
A/N: Written for the eleventh challenge of the third round at dramione_ldws. The movie was Pride and Prejudiced. The drabble had to contain a wet shirt and mistaken judgement.
This is my last drabble for this challenge. I got voted off.
Draco sneered. Why he had let Potter talk him into going out with their team of Aurors was beyond him. Draco generally disliked the people he had the misfortune to work with. Potter might be tolerable-or at least he was somewhat competent, making him less of a liability in the field-but as far as Draco was concerned the other team members were all as daft as Muggles.
The evening was turning out to be just as unpleasant as Draco had anticipated and before he had finished his second glass of mediocre Firewhiskey, he had already vowed to succeed where the Dark Lord had failed and kill Harry Potter for subjecting him to such a terrible outing.
Matters were made even worse by the fact that Draco found himself seated next to the Weasel who was attempting to prove that he was indeed as dumb as he looked. After his third ale he had begun flirting excessively with some random gal and Draco was afraid that having to witness the Weasel stick his tongue all the way down the chit’s throat might have ruined his appetite for months to come.
Not that Draco cared much, but he rather thought that if Weasley was to cheat on his fiancée, it would probably be wise not to do it in front of twenty or so witnesses. Apparently, though Weasel’s two brain cells were already swimming in too much alcohol for him to reach the same conclusion.
Draco was only surprised that Potter hadn’t swooped in to rescue his mate from making an even bigger fool of himself than normal, but one look around the pub confirmed that the boy-wonder was having an animated conversation with Kingsley and had yet to notice his best friend’s transgression.
However, someone else must have seen and thought it prudent to inform Granger because soon enough she stormed the pub, bushy hair surrounding her head like an angry cloud.
She immediately marched up to her unfaithful fiancé and demanded an explanation. Before the Weasel had the chance to say ‘It’s not what you think,’ or something equally as idiotic, Hermione had already thrown his drink into his face, drenching the Weasel-and everyone else in his vicinity-in ale.
Draco’s shirt got wet as well and under any other circumstances he would have complained. But Granger followed the shower with a punch that was right on the mark and sent Weasley to the floor, so Draco was willing to forgive his beer stained shirt.
While Weasley was busy seeing stars, Granger turned her attention towards Weasley’s would-be-conquest. Within 23 seconds-Draco timed it-the other girl broke out into tears and fled the pub. Granger didn’t even have to use her wand.
Her mission complete, Granger threw her diamond ring onto the floor and stomped away, leaving a group of gobsmacked Aurors and a dismayed ex-fiancé behind. Draco only smirked, thinking that it was a shame Granger wasn’t handsome enough. Otherwise he’d really be tempted.
