I do not know Harry Potter that belongs to J.K Rowling. I will always be grateful to her for not only sharing her world but allowing me to join in on the adventure.
This story will be slowly written, some mature content may be added on later on so the rating can change but the first few chapters will be sweet and innocent.
Please go easy and be nice, this is my first fanfiction.
Chapter One
Hermione and Ginny sat on the bank of the Black Lake, watching the sunset and wondering where the last year had gone. Today was May 2nd, the first anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts and they made to this day, 365 days later. Ginny looked at Hermione and gave her a glass of Butterbeer. "Here is to us, to finishing our education and our future Hermione." Hermione took the glass and agreed to the toast. "Here is to us Gin, we did it. Can you believe we graduate tomorrow?" After Hermione's question, the girls sat next to each other, enjoying the sunset and their last night at Hogwarts because who knew what the future had in store for them. Once the sun had set, the girls start to trek back up to the castle before curfew. As they were walking up, Hermione then asked Ginny to stay with her in the head dorms to have a sleepover and pamper themselves. Ginny agreed to this and told Hermione that she'd meet her in an hour. As the girl split at the staircase, Ginny went to Gryffindor Tower; meanwhile, Hermione walked to her head dorms.
As Hermione got to the founder's portrait, the founders were seen celebrating as well. Rowena was the first to say anything to Hermione "Congratulations Miss. Granger to a successful year!" Helga threw in "You made this a year to remember." Hermione thanked the two founders, and while she looked at the four founders, you could see the unity in them again like they were old friends but a sense of freedom as well. Godric just looked at Hermione with pride and gave her a toast. Meanwhile, Salazar himself was the quietest as always. Hermione took a moment and then said the Unity to enter the commons. As she walked in, she missed the conversation that Godric and Salazar had started. Godric was annoyed at Salazar for not saying anything to Hermione and said he might not have another chance.
As Hermione entered the common room, she ran into her fellow head. As she started to fall backward, she felt two arms grab her and steady herself on her feet. "Hermione, sorry I didn't see you coming in." Hermione was surprised he grabbed her but brushed off her surprised. "Draco, don't worry about it. Thank you for saving me from falling. Where are you going in such a rush?" Draco looked at Hermione with a smile "You know I would never let you fall, and I'm meeting up with Blaise and Theo in the Slytherin Common Room before we head back up here for the night. I hope you don't mind." Hermione looked at him and smiled. "Draco that's fine as long as you don't mind that I invited Ginny up for the night. We wanted to do a spa night and do one last thing here. We'll try and stay out of the way so you can have guy time." Draco just nodded his head and then said "It's our last night, enjoy it and don't worry about getting in the way. It's our space for one last night, might as well enjoy it. Plus the guys won't mind, well I am heading out, be back later Hermione." Hermione waved bye as Draco left and wondered to her room. With a flick of her wand, all her things she would not need were put into her truck, and she went to shower. After getting out of the shower, Hermione went to get dressed and decided on a simple white tank top and some black yoga pants. As she was getting her nail polish out, Ginny came in with her spa stuff and overnight bag. Ginny looked at Hermione and laughed both girls were fresh out of the shower, wearing black yoga pants and a tank top. Ginny told Hermione that they needed to get snacks and drinks. As the girls walked down into the kitchen to find snacks, they walked in to find several house elves prepping for tomorrow's graduation. This surprised the girls because they figured that the kitchens would be empty at this time of night. Hermione looked at the elves saying "I am terribly sorry for interrupting you guys. We were just going to grab some snacks and head back to my common room. We'll be out of your hair really quick." One of the elves the girls knew came over and said: "Mispy would like to help Missy Mione and Missy Ginny, you aren't a bother at all." Both girls looked at each other and figured they might as well just let Mispy help to save time and keep from upsetting her. Ginny spoke then" Mispy we would love your help. You see Hermione, and I are having a spa night in her room. So I thought we'd like to get some sandwiches, popcorn, ice cream, chips, Butterbeer, and Tea." Ginny looked over at Hermione to see if she had missed anything and then thank Mispy for her help. Mispy told the girls to head back to their dorms, and she'd send their stuff right up. Both girls nodded their heads, thanks to the elves and started to head back to the common room. As they walked back, they had their arms linking, and Ginny asked: "Do you think everything is going to change tomorrow?" Hermione looked at Ginny and smiled, "Gin it can't be as scary as the war, we fought for this, and now we get to live our lives free." By this time the girls had gotten back to the Head's dorm and walked in, finding everything they requested set up in their kitchen area. Hermione went to her room to get her supplies so they could start their girl's night.
Ginny started on Hermione's hair and did French braids to keep it out of the way. Afterward, Ginny did hers the same way so that they could do face masks and not worry about any of it getting in their hair. As they were looking for colors to paint their toes and nails, Hermione asked Ginny what was next for her and Harry. Ginny looked at Hermione saying "I don't know what's next, but I can't wait to see everyone reaction tomorrow night." Hermione raised an eyebrow and wondered why Ginny was smiling like the Cheshire cat. "Alright spill Gin, I know you two have something up your sleeve. What are you telling everyone you're married?" Ginny looked surprised at Hermione and Hermione squealed in surprised. "WHAT?! How did neither one of you tell me? Ginny looked at Hermione with a small smile "Before Easter, you know The Harpies sent a scout to come see me, then afterward I talked with the Scout, and he asked if I would be willing to come to a practice. Hermione, they offered me a chance to play for them during the week, and it was a dream come true. Well, I told them I'd love to but had to clear it with the Headmistress. I wrote to mom and Harry to tell them. Hermione was listening to her best friends and remembered what she was talking about because it was a few days before they were heading back home because of Easter break. "Mom was fine with it because it was two days before Easter break and Harry was thrilled for me and said he'd try to go watch. McGonagall Okayed it, so I went and played with the Harpies. After the practice, the manager offered me the job, and I was so excited, the coach congratulated me and told me to head to the locker room. As I was getting ready to leave the locker, Harry showed up. When I saw him, I jumped into his arms and kissed him. I asked him to come with me back to the pitch so I could look at the Station. I was so in awe and excited, when I turned back around Harry was on one need proposing. I said yes but told him I didn't want to wait anymore and said let's get married now. The high was amazing between the Harpies and Harry proposing that we just went into London and got some muggle to marry us. No one was there, it was just us two, and it was so nice. We kept it a secret because we were worried about what everyone would say." Hermione looked at Ginny and could have been more excited, but she then grabbed a handful of chips and tossed them at Ginny. Ginny looked surprised and was confused. "That's for not telling me Gin. You know that you and Harry are my best friends and I could not be more excited for you two. You have earned nothing but happiness after the last year." Looking at Ginny with a watery smile, she couldn't think of everyone else who deserved happiness, and she could understand why they had kept it a secret. Ginny knew she was about to cry because she was so glad her best friend wasn't mad at her, and now her secret was out. "Alright we need to do a face mask, and then we need to paint our toes" Hermione could not agree more, grabbing the jar of face cream, she opened it and took a glob and smeared it all over Ginny's face. Squealing because it was cold, Ginny waited for Hermione to finish and did the same. Both girls were laughing; Ginny went to get them some Butterbeer to drink before they painted their nails. Hermione had started to paint her fingers a pale pink while Ginny got their drinks. Ginny came back over with drinks, while Hermione was finishing up, Ginny sat down and put the drinks in front of them while she painted her nails a mint green. The girls snacked and took a sip of their drinks and just had fun being together. Mid painting their toes, they hear the portrait door open and three boys laughing.
