Closest To Heaven That I'll Ever Be. *Complete*

24. Read All About It

I woke up the next morning, smiling to myself. I turned to see Draco lying next to me. His arm around my waist holding me to him. He looked so peaceful that I didn't want to wake him, but I knew that Pansy was here (I heard her and Theo...em...arrive last night) and I was pretty sure there were others that stayed here too. 

I knew that there would be several sore heads, so I thought my hangover healer tonic was just what everyone needed. I had plenty of stock of it in the basement. I carefully slipped down the bed, under his arm and out of bed. Stark naked, too.

I didn't want to scare anyone, so I waved my wand and got dressed, giving myself a quick wash. I slipped out of the bedroom and crept downstairs. I wasn't sure who I would wake if I made a noise, and I didn't want to disturb anyone. 

I slipped into the kitchen. 

"Morning," I heard from the kitchen table. Theo. I should have remembered he wasn't much of a sleeper. 

"Morning sunshine. How are you feeling?" I asked quietly. 

He groaned. "Why are you shouting?"

I laughed. "I assure you I am not. Want a tonic?"

"Merlin's soggy left testicle yes please." He begged. 

I opened the basement door and waved my hand, levitating a dozen bottles up and onto the kitchen table.

"Speaking of soggy testicles. I assume you and Pansy..." I wiggled my eyebrows.

Theo choked on the tonic. "Addalie," he chuckled. 

"Am I wrong?"

"Well, no, but you didn't have to put it quite like that." he laughed.

"I am glad. I mean that you are her are finally together. Not that I heard you having sex." I laughed. "Who else is here?"

"Well, Harry and Ginny went back to his place shortly after we realised you and Draco disappeared. Hermione and Ron went back to her flat. Blaise is at George's. I think Laurie and Taron stayed at the club. Daphne and Charlie are here, though."

"Yeah, I gave her the spare room. She is here more often than she is at home," I laughed. It was the truth. Daphne's parents didn't believe in living with a boy before you were married. They refused to buy Daphne a place of her own. So she stays here quite a bit. Not that Pansy or I mind.

"The others did say they would stop by today, though. And Pansy even invited your Gryffindor friends. I hope that's OK?"

"Of course," I smiled. "I will message them and tell them to come for breakfast." I turned to see Draco come downstairs in his trousers and a t-shirt. He looked hot. 

"Did someone mention breakfast?" he asked, coming to stand with me and kissing me.

"Yes, I am going to cook for everyone." I turned and produced an orb, which I quickly recorded a message. 'Breakfast at my house. Twenty minutes. I have hangover cures for everyone,' before duplicating a few times and sending it off.

"Did I hear a hangover cure?" He groaned as I gave him one of the tonics. "You are amazing, Ade." He kissed me again.

Theo was smiling at us. 

I began to set the utensils to cook. There was bacon frying, sausages sizzling, white and black pudding cooking, as well as many types of eggs and breads. I had beans and mushrooms for those who liked them and about 20 slices of toast grilling.

"Um, something smells good. Either my mum is here or Addie is cooking." Charlie said, coming into the kitchen with Daphne and Pansy. 

"I wish your mother was here. That woman is an amazing cook. She taught me all I know." I smiled as he came up behind me.
