Just as stars shine

Chapter 2

"Oh, Gin, my head is hurting so bad.."

"Well don't be angry at me, it was you that drank too much." The redhead said as she sat down beside her best friend.

"But it was you that planned the party!"

"What was I supposed to do? Every designer that is someone, has a party after their collection is released." Ginny said as a matter o fact.

"Yes, but I ain't someone" Hermione said, still with a bad headache.

"But you are after yesterday! We needed to throw a party to show that the fashion world could count on you."

"We don't know that yet, what if they thought it was a flop?"

"They didn't! I promise you, it was fantastic!" The younger witch said and smiled once again.

"You know, I had really needed you up there. It was so damn nervous!" Hermione told her.

"You know that I couldn't! I'm pregnant for godness sake!"

"Are you kidding me Gin? You can't even see it yet?" At that Ginny gave her friend a look, putting her own hand on her little baby bump. "Okay, maybe you can see it. But you still would have rocked that dress better than that Astrid ever can."

"Well, yeah? Of course I would!" The pregnant woman said with a pleased smile and left to the kitchen. After a short time she came back with a glass of potion. "Here you have, you'll feel just like new again."

"Thank you, that really saved my day" Hermione said after taking the potion and feeling the headache disappearing instantly.

"I'm so happy for you sweetheart! Isn't Voutch the biggest fashion magazine in the wizard world?"

"Yes it is" Hermione responded smiling.

"Listen to this Roland!"

"I personally think Grangers autumn collection is the best I've ever seen. With clothes for home nights, but also if you'd like to party - this collection has it all. And I know I ain't the only one who can't wait to see what war heroine Hermione, has in store for us next season. " she read out loud for her husband to here.

"Wow, that's great honey" he said, also he hugging his daughter.

"Yes, it's a good start I suppose." Hermione said while picking up Celine from the floor.

"Good start? Don't be so shy! It's totally amazing!" Her mother said as she poured some coffee in the three cups on the table.

"But, when are you two going on the trip?" Roland asked, changing the subject because he could sense his daughters discomfort.

Giving her father a thankful look, she answered. "On Tuesday next week."

"Oh dear, that's only a couple of days! I need more time with this little one first!" Mrs Granger said with a upset tone while stroking Celines little hand.

"Carol, your acting like they won't be home for years." Roland said and shook his head at his wife.

"But we don't know that, maybe it goes very well on that meeting, and they move there!"

"Hello, mum.. 'They' are sitting here!" Hermione said, breaking the argument. "And 'they' can guarantee you that they ain't going to move" cause then they would have done it 2 years ago.. she added the last part in her head.

"Oh I love these trousers, I bought them right after the show."
"Will there be any Christmas socks in your new collection?"
"When is your new collection coming?"
