Chapter 15

Hermione
I can't get the conversation I had with Ron out of my head. He was so arrogant with his 'When can the kids come over,' and his,'Why are you so angry with me Mione?' How thick can a guy get! After a few minutes I've had enough, I stormed off and headed to a place that I know will calm me down, a bookstore. I was ready to read until my eyes were bleeding until I noticed a certain blonde haired boy sitting with his nose in a book. Just looking at him made my anger drain away. Why does he have this effect on me? I recall thinking at the time. I chuckle to myself now. I remember our conversation and how ecstatic I was when he called me Hermione instead of Granger. I felt like a 17 year old Muggle at her favorite boy band concert and he just winked at her, that's how happy I was. I smile at the thought of how easily my name came out of his mouth. I jump off of my couch when I remember that he's coming to pick me up for Harry and Ginny's party tomorrow evening. I grab my purse and apperate to Ginny's house.
" He- oh Mione we weren't expecting you," says Harry who's obviously just gotten home from work. " Sorry Harry, I would have written but it's urgent. At least in my rush I was courteous enough to knock," I say brushing past him. " Hermione? What are you doing here?" Ginny asks from where she stands by the stairwell. I note that she is covered in light pink paint and her hair is tied off in a messy ponytail. Curious, I look back to Harry and notice that he too is splattered with light pink paint. The only time I remember them actually painting instead of using magic is when Ginny was expecting Albus. I ponder over this for a minute before gasping with realizing what was happening. " Ginny! You didn't tell me! You don't even look pregnant though!" I rush over to her. She laughs at my outburst. " Sorry Hermione, I wanted to tell you but we wanted it to be a surprise. Also Harry put a spell on me so I look as if I wasn't 8 months pregnant. But you can't tell anyone. Not even Draco," Harry chuckles and  walks by Ginny, probably guessing why I'm here and deciding to skip out on it. Ginny slowly makes her way over to the couch with me following her. We sit and she looks at me, questioning me through her eyes.
" Okay, so I told Draco about the party and now he's coming to pick me up! I have absolutely no idea what to wear now! I had something but now it just doesn't seem appropriate."
" Oh! I have something," she walks as fast as she can, bounds up the stairs as best as she can all the while I'm following her. She opens her closet and pulls out a beautiful red dress. I try it on and instantly love it. It's tight fitting, but fans out at the bottom, it has lace underneath the bottom, it's strapless and has black jewels lining the neck line. I twirl around and for show and get approval from Ginny. She hands me a box and I tear it open, I always love Ginny's clothes, it's just better than mine. I pull out a pair of black high heels with red on the bottom. I slip them on and look in the mirror on the closest door. This is sure to wow him.
