Perfect Two...

Chapter Forty Three: The Ball

2nd of May 2011

Hermione was in deep sleep, she knew it was the ball day, she knew she had to wake up early and get ready, but why also knew she needed a good sleep or she'd have bags under her eyes. That day she woke up at sound of the doorbell, and thank God Emily was there to open the door. Few moments later the door of Hermione's bedroom was opened and Hermione could feel someone just jumped on her bed next to her, first she thought it was Eleanor,
"Wake up, Mione.." the soft voice made her smile "It's ball day! Come on honey, get up."

"What are you doing here Hyldey?" Hermione chuckled

"I'm here to get ready with you! Now, go get a shower, I'll make you, your coffee, okay?" Hyldey jumped out of bed and went back to the stairs, making her way to the kitchen.
Hermione opened her eyes lazily and sat down, she rubbed her eyes and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table, she blinked few times to clear her vision she almost gasped when it was almost twelve. She jumped to the bathroom, stripped and hopped in the shower. When she was done showering, she left the bathroom to find Hyldey grinning as always at her, Hermione had her hair wrapped in a white towel and her body covered up with her short white bathrobe "You're coffee, ma'am." Hyldey handed her the red mug

"Ah, thank you."

"You know, Eddy will be here in few moments."

"Eddy? You're not serious, are you?"

"I am, babe. I am. I mean, c'mon Hermione you know he's the best, besides I don't want to exhaust myself today. We," she wrapped her arm around Hermione shoulder, her cheek pressed to hers "my friend will be sitting and Eddy and his group will do the work."

"We need that treat, eh?"

"Of course! I told Jan and Nick to come here at five by the way."

Hermione nodded with a smile "Um.. And Helena?"

"What about her? She said she's going with Draco, he's her fiance and he'll pick her up. I told her to come with me but she refused.." Hyldey shrugged. Hermione nodded again, stupidly to herslef. The doorbell rang "Ah! Must be my Eddy! I'll see who is it!" she ran out if the room and Hermione chuckled at her.
Hermione could hear Hyldey screaming, laughing and talking loudly as usual.
At the moment, Eleanor and Emily walked in to her room

"Someone's to say bye to mummy." Said Emily grinning, holding Eleanor bag and hers.

"Oh come here, babe." Hermione put the mug aside and opened her arms for Eleanor, giving her a tight hug "I'll miss you." she kissed her cheek

"I'll miss you too, mummy."

"I see you're happy whenever you're going to the burrow.." Hermione looked from Eleanor to Emily who was biting her lip with a smile and Eleanor was definitely blushing "Eleanor?"

"Ron is here!" Eleanor jumped to Ronald when he walked in

"Sorry, Hyldey told me I'll find you here." he said scooping Eleanor up and kissing her cheek "Ah, how's my little princess?"

"I'm good! And you?"

"I'm brilliant!"
Hermione got up and walked towards Ron, kissing his cheeks was always her way of greeting him.

"You know I can take her to my mum's.. I mean your mum will have all the kids around her and that will be-"

"Shush, Hermione. You know my mum loves children." he took Eleanor's bag from Emily "We better be off." he smiled "Teddy is waiting for you." he whispered in Eleanor's ear then chuckled when Hermione slapped his arm "Okay, El, say bye to mummy!"
Eleanor waved and sent flying kisses to her mum
