Crowned (150)
Chapter 2 of 2
Ladymage SamikoDrunk in a pub, take two—with a few more descriptors.
ReviewedShe was Hermione Granger. And she should have known better.
Known better than to play shot glass checkers against Ron Weasley. Known better than to play at the Leaky Cauldron. Known better than to walk in Severus Snape’s direction for any reason whatsoever.
Known better than to wear these Voldemort-take-them heels.
Hermione struggled upright, removing her breasts from where they’d smooshed against the arm that had kept her face from meeting the floor. “Shorry, shir.”
Moments later, on the way back to the booth and that damned game, she tripped again, now falling flush against him. Mortified, her face turned crimson.
Wait.
That definitely wasn’t a wand in his pocket.
“Shir?” she queried. “’re you drunk?”
“Not to excess, Miss Granger,” he replied dryly.
“Then… App’rate me home?”
“Delighted to be of service.” Severus offered his arm and escorted her from the pub.
He didn’t ask where she lived.
AN: Hope including this isn't entirely pointless, but I do prefer it over the clipped version. As always, offerings in the little box are always appreciated.

Ever the gentleman.
I like both versions but I think the second is the best.
clever and funny. thanks
I read both versions, and enjoyed both, though I prefer this one. Thanks for including it!
I love your writing. I'm always amazed at how much of a story can be conveyed in a 100 word drabble.
Well she should have known better, but for her sake I'm glad she didn't. Nicely done, as always. Incidentally, I think both versions of this scene work just fine.
Yes, the clipped version is good, but the longer take is better. I loved the phrase, Voldemort-take-them heels. Very nice.
Absolutely wonderfully written:-))
I agree with you: I also prefer the longer version.
I'd be delighted to read about the morning after...
A very gentlemanly thing to do...not :D
