Revenge

Chapter 8: PARTY TIME!

Harry woke up the next morning with a sense of peace, he felt a soft warm body curled up next to his and turned to face it, he smiled gently when he saw Hermione snuggled into him, her face lying on his chest, facing up at him. She looked like an angel, her hair slightly mussed, and her lips slightly apart. Harry leaned down and kissed her parted lips gently and sighed.

There was a shutter somewhere which jerked Harry out of his musing and he saw Colin standing in front of them, everyone in the Gryffindor was staring at them, the girls had a sweet “aw” look on them while the boys were shaking their heads at the girls.

Harry was stunned, how long were they there for? He noticed that Ron was grinning to himself.

“Finally let her in?” Ron asked in a teasing voice and Harry cracked a grin.

“Nothing gets past you guys does it?” Harry asked and everybody shook his or her head.

 Hermione stirred lightly and moaned as she buried her face into Harry’s chest, complaining that it was too early to get up.

Lavender smirked.

“That’s a first.” She remarked. “Normally she’ll be up at the crack of the dawn ready to start the day.” She finished and everyone laughed which brought Hermione back to reality.

“What’s so funny Harry?” Hermione asked as her eyes fluttered open and she looked in front of her. “Hey guys.” She greeted then turned back to Harry. Her eyes widen with shock as her eyes flew back to the front. “Guys?” Hermione squeaked.

“Looked like someone was having a little fun down here? Wish you asked us to join you.” Dean teased which caused Hermione and Harry to roll their eyes.

“Sorry Dean, she’s mine,” Harry shot back with a teasing glint as he wrapped his arms around her protectively.

Everyone cheered.

“Yes, he let her in! Party time tonight everyone!” Ron cheered, making Ginny laugh while shaking her head at her brother. “Ginny, make the invite list! I’ll contact the twins and get them to bring some stuff over! Dean contacts the pub and gets crates of Butter beer! Everyone get the stuff ready to be taken down to the great hall! I’ll get Luna and get her to make the banner and Seamus you come with me to fix it! Ginny get Malfoy and get him to contact all the pubs and party places for props!” Ron listed off as he dragged each person while pulling them out of the door. Soon the common room emptied, everyone having chorus to do.

   Harry and Hermione were still locked in the same position, stunned.

“Please tell me that I’m dreaming.” Harry muttered and jumped when he felt a pinch. “OW! What was that for?” Harry demanded as he rubbed his arm, looking down at his girlfriend. Hermione giggled.

“There’s your answer, you are not dreaming.” Hermione reported and Harry rolled his eyes as he pulled her back into a hug.

“You know, this couch is getting very uncomfortable, can we go in a bed and get some sleep? I hate sleeping on couches, gives me a sore neck.” Harry said as he rubbed the back of his neck. Hermione nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, my legs are stiff from being locked in the curled since last night.” Hermione admitted. Both of them groaned as they got up and Harry led them toward the Head boy room. “Harry what are you doing?” Hermione asked with a raised eyebrow and Harry chuckled lightly.

“Did I not tell you?” Harry asked.

“Tell me what?” Hermione demanded.

“I’m the head boy.” Harry said and Hermione stopped short and looked at Harry with a wide eyes stunned look.

 “Are you serious?” Hermione asked and Harry nodded. Hermione let out a squeal as she jumped into his arms and hugged him, effectively cutting off his airway.

“Sweetie, breathing is a necessary thing,” Harry begged as he choked. Hermione loosen her grip and looked at Harry.

“Well, lead the way Head boy.” Hermione teased and Harry laughed as the door swung open, he pulled her in, both of them laughing as the door slammed shut.

    “This is amazing, they are gonna love it!” Ron exclaimed as he entered the Great Hall, there was a huge banner hanging over the teacher’s table saying ‘Congratulation Harry and Hermione!’ and it was flashing in different glitter colors.

“Yeah it is.” Ginny agreed, breathless at the sight of the Great Hall, there were glitter everywhere on the floor, the tables were different, they were moved out of the way yet still easy to sit at for food, there was a dance floor, waiting for everyone to dance on it.

Draco came up behind Ginny and wrapped his arms around Ginny’s waist.

“Yeah, this is gonna knock them dead.” Draco agreed.

“Hope not literally though.” Ron cut in, causing both boys to laugh. Ginny smiled pleased with the sight of her brother and boyfriend getting along together. Ron soon broke of the laugher and his face became determined once more. “Come on people! Chop, Chop, there are still loads of work to do!” Ron barked, making everyone scurry off to do the work. Ginny smiled.

‘Never cross a red hair.’ Ginny thought fondly ‘Especially when it comes to making his best friends happy.’ She giggled and hurried over to Lee who was setting up the music.

    Harry and Hermione were lying on Harry’s bed, both of them were snuggled into each other with Hermione’s head resting on his chest, her left arm slung over his waist and her left leg tangled with his. Harry had his left hand playing with her hair and his right hand tracing lines up and down her arm. They both had their eyes closed, content to be with the other, just relaxing.

“We never get to do this.” Hermione murmured and Harry nodded in agreement.

“I know what you mean.” Harry whispered as he kissed the top of her head and they both drifted off to sleep with Harry cover, magically placing themselves over them.

In the corner, a familiar house elf smiled as he snapped his fingers.

“Have a good sleep Master Harry and Mistress Hermione.” He whispered as he disappeared to help the others to make the food for the party.

    Dumbledore and all the teachers came in and was stunned at the sight of the Great Hall, Snape was astounded that the teacher’s table wasn’t there.

“Where are we supposed to sit?” Snape asked and Ginny laughed.

“Relax, Lavender is sorting out the seating plan so that everyone is sitting next to someone they like, Draco is helping her because of the Slytherin.” Ginny explained and Dumbledore nodded.

“I must say this is absolutely fabulous!” Dumbledore commented and Ginny smiled.

“You can pass that on to Ron, he’s the one who sorted this out.” Ginny said and walked off toward Dean who was trying to reason with a house elf but was having no luck. All the teachers were stunned.

    Harry woke up a few hours later; he found that Ron was shaking him and Hermione.

“Come you lazy buggers, time to get ready.” Ron said with an amused tone. Hermione moaned as she turned to face the other way while Harry turned in the same direction and buried his face in her neck. Ron shook his head and waved his wand.

Both Harry and Hermione shot up in bed when a bucket of freezing cold water was poured on them.

“RON!” Both of them growled.

“What?” Ron asked innocently but saw that they weren’t falling for it. “Well I had to do something to get you up didn’t I?” Ron asked exasperated. “Right Hermione, you go with Ginny and Harry you are coming with me, you’ll see each other soon so move it! Ron commanded as he grabbed Harry’s arm while Ginny took Hermione’s arm and dragged them both off in opposite directions,

     Harry found himself in his old dorm room with all the guys in it. Neville was holding the towels and shampoo while Dean was holding the hair comb and hair gel and Seamus was holding the clothes that Harry was going to wear.

“Shower first.” All the boys said as they thrusted Harry into the shower room and handed him the towel and shampoo. Harry just laughed and shook his head with amusement as he stepped into the shower.

    Hermione found herself in the same position, Lavender was holding the dress while Parvati was holding the hair stuff and Ginny was holding the bathroom stuff. She laughed as she went and did what she was told.

   Harry soon found himself sitting on the chair in front of a mirror while Dean was trying to make his hair flat but it wasn’t working.

“Why not do spikes?” the mirror asked and Dean smiled.

“Thanks!” Dean exclaimed and started doing spikes. Harry just rolled his eyes.

    Hermione found herself with straight hair with a slight wave and in the floor length dress that she had bought during the summer. Parvati had done her make up and she was looking positively beautiful. All three girls were stunned at the sight of Hermione looking so different.

“Well?” Hermione asked while biting her lower lip uncertain.

“Harry’s gonna have a heart attack!” Ginny exclaimed and Hermione smiled brightly, pleased with the respond.

   Harry found himself in his a tux and black robes, he looked in the mirror and saw he looked extremely different.

“Well guys?” Harry asked and all boys whopped.

“We are rocking tonight.” Ron said and all the boys cheered while Harry just shook his head in amusement and the mirror groaned.

“I need a headache pill.” She moaned and Harry laughed.

   Harry found himself waiting at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for Hermione. Soon the three girls came down and they took the boys arms while waiting for Hermione. Ginny was in a pale blue dress while Lavender was in a deep red dress and Parvati was in a deep green dress.

All the boys wore tux and robes and they all wore huge grins.

Harry turned back to the stairs when he heard footsteps and inhaled sharply when he saw Hermione. She was wearing a floor-length light blue dress that was made out of satin silk, her hair was flowing behind her, and her lips were glossy. He was stunned, gob smacked. Never in his wildest dream he had imaged her like this. Hermione stood in front of him and waited for his response.

“You look amazing.” Harry breathed and Hermione smiled as she leaned up and kissed him slightly.

“You look great too.” Hermione whispered and Harry held out his arm for her to take, she took it and both of them turned to the others who were all smiling brightly and the girls were slightly tearing up.

“Ready?” Hermione asked and Ron grinned brightly.

“Lets go!” Ron said as he and Lavender led the way with Harry and Hermione bringing up the rear.

   Ron stood at the door and turned to Harry and Hermione. “Welcome to the biggest night of your life, one that you will never forget.” Ron said as he pushed the doors open, the other headed in first, leaving Harry and Hermione to come in last. They both gasped at the sight, it was amazing and everyone was there. They were all clapping when Harry and Hermione made their way in and made their way to the table.

Both of them sat down and Dumbledore stood up.

“This gives me pleasure to say that I am truly happy to see that Harry and Hermione have gotten together, a lot of us had put bets on you two and it amused me to tell you all that Lupin won the bet.” Dumbledore said and Both Harry and Hermione looked at each other then at Lupin with a stunned look. Dumbledore chuckled at this “Anyway, we all knew that something was going to happen and we are glad to finally have seen it did. You two bring joy to this castle more than you ever know.”

Dumbledore said as he raised his goblet to the couple that smiled brightly at him.

  Snape stood up and cleared his throat while everyone looked at him stunned which caused him to roll his eyes.

“I have to admit, I knew that they were going to get together, ever since the first day they were in my potion class, I saw Hermione keep Harry in line and that was before they even became friends, that is another story which I shall leave to someone else to tell. All I want to say is that you both make me proud and even though I never show it, I care about you two and I hope you two will have a joyful live together.” Snape said and both of them grinned while Hermione was slightly tearful.

  Ron stood up and cleared his throat.

“I just wanted to say that from the very first moment me and Harry met Hermione, we both thought she was a bit bossy,” Ron started and Hermione cleared her throat which caused both Harry and Ron to grin “Well, okay, a lot bossy. We saved her life and after than she became our best friend, even though she is still bossy, it only because she cares, and to see you two together is my dream, you both have been through so much together that you deserve to be together. I just hope that we will all be able to find love like you two have because the love you have, it endless, it will go on forever and ever, it will pass death and stay with you. You two are the other half of the other, Hermione, you always knew when Harry needed help and how to help him while you Harry, knew how to make Hermione relax and loosen up. You both are soul mates and I hope that you will never be apart. Everyone please raise you glasses and cheer for my best friends, Harry and Hermione.” Ron said and everyone raised his or her glasses.

“To Harry and Hermione.” They all cheered. Hermione was smiling while trying really had to keep the tears at bay while Harry stood up and pulled Ron into a hug.

“Thank you, that really meant a lot to us. You are our best friend too, the other part of the trio.” Harry whispered into Ron’s ear, Ron grinned as he patted Harry’s back. Hermione also stood up and pulled Ron into a hug.

“Thank you.” Hermione sobbed as she kissed his cheek. Ron laughed and wiped the tears off her cheek, making all three laughs.

“Now Ladies and Gentlemen, we shall have to famous couple of the school to start of the dance first.” Lee announced and Harry rolled his eyes as Hermione tugged him on the dance floor. He looked back at Ron.

“You are a dead man.” Harry teased while Ron just stuck his tongue out at Harry.

Both Harry and Hermione made their way to the middle of the floor; Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck while Harry wrapped his arms around her waist, as they both looked into each other eyes.

#I feel it in my fingers

I feel it in my toes

The love that’s all around me

And so the feeling grows#

“I really love this song.” Hermione murmured as she laid her head on his chest. Harry grinned into her hair.

“Then it’s our song.” Harry whispered into her ear and kissed her forehead.

#It’s written on the wind

It’s everywhere I go

So if you really love me

Come on and let it show

You know I love you, I always will

My mind made up by the

Way I feel

There’s no beginning

There’ll be no end

‘Cause on my love you can depend

I see your face before me

As I lay on my bed

I cannot get to thinking

Of all the things you said

You gave me your promise to me and I

Gave mine to you

I need someone beside me

In everything I do

You know I love you, I always will

My mind’s made up by the

Way I feel

There’s no beginning

There’ll be no end

‘Cause on my love you can depend

 I got to keep moving

It’s written in the wind

Oh everywhere I go

So if you really love me

Come on and let it show

Come on and let it

Come on and let it

Come on and let it

Come on and let it show. #
