Thanks again to all my wonderful reviewers! I finally hit 20 reviews! And I believe brand new Harry Potter guitars are in order for son, Reena Catheryn and ChloefromMackMalls for correctly guessing where the Trio was headed.

Thanks also to justacoolharrypotternerd23 for reviewing and NinjaLampshade for alerting. Redvines coming your way!

Okay, so this chapter is a bit of a skip forward in time, and features the return of our own dear house-elf boy...enjoy.

'It sure is great to be able to go to Hogsmeade without needing a permission form,' Harry said as he, Ron and Hermione headed down to the village, 'and it sure is great I beat out Draco Malfoy in that challenge!'

'Yeah- we knew you would!' Ron said, taking a bite out of two Hershey bars at once. Hermione looked at him in disgust.

'Now I just gotta get hold of one of those wreaths, and I can ask Cho to the Yule Ball!'

Ron and Hermione groaned. That was all Harry had been talking about since it had been announced that Hogwarts was having a ball. It had been two months since the fateful day Umbridge had discovered she was pregnant (which in centaur terms was rather far along), and by now most of the school knew. Seamus had been spreading stories about how he heard a baby Umbridge would be able to kill them all with its crying, however once the news of the Ball got out, the word about Umbridge had died down and become background gossip.

And so it was that, when the Totally Awesome Trio went down to Hogsmeade on this fine day, they had quite forgotten about it. That is, until…

'Well, look who it is!'

The three groaned and looked around, but the body attached to the voice they had heard was nowhere in sight. Instead, Luna Lovegood waved giddily in the wrong direction.

'Huh?' Ron looked very confused indeed. 'Didn't we just hear Draco's voice?'

'Did someone say Draco Malfoy?' something began to crawl out from behind Luna's legs, and soon Malfoy was slithering across the ground towards him.

'Aw, wherever we go there's a Draco!' Harry groaned. 'We go to school and we see this jerk, we get away from school and we see an older copy of this jerk!'

'Well,' Draco said smugly, 'you won't be seeing me for much longer- in a few short weeks, the centaurs have foreseen the arrival of a rocketship, and we will be off to Pigfarts for good!'

'Oh, yeah?' Ron said, disbelieving, 'well, why aren't you off on your little spaceship right now?'

'We have come to Hogsmeade,' Draco replied, standing up and putting his arm round Luna, giving Hermione a you-missed-your-chance look, 'to buy a fresh supply of our most necessary diapers.'

The trio couldn't help sniggering at the enormous pile of boxes their gaze was now directed to.

'How many do you need?' Harry guffawed. 'Eaten something that didn't agree with you?'

Even Hermione couldn't help a little giggle at that one.

Draco drew himself up to his full height- a gesture which didn't help matters, as he wasn't very tall.

'For your information, Potter,' he said indignantly, 'we had to get a healthy supply- not just for our long journey to Mars, but, of course, Umbridge's babies are due soon, and we need to start stocking up on essentials…'

'Oh, yeah,' Ron said, 'that's right, Umbridge is knocked up! Hahaha…' He looked around, but the others didn't join in.

'That joke's getting old,' Harry waved his hand.

Ron looked disappointed. 'I knew this'd happen if I switched snacks!' he stared in disgust at the Hershey bars and threw them away over his shoulder.

'Hey, guys, can we stop at Honeydukes'? I need some more redvines, like, NOW!'

'Ooh, you're going to the candy shop, can I come?'

Ron growled loudly as Ginny came running up.

'I noticed you were going to Hogsmeade with Hermione and…HARRY POTTER,' she swooned, 'and I thought I might tag along…'

'Stupid sister!' Ron snapped, 'we were gonna have a great time without you!' This prompted Ginny to burst into tears, but before she reached the crescendo of her wailing, she reached into her pocket and brought out a familiar blue packet.

'But, Ron, I brought you a lil something…' she grinned as Ron's eyes grew wide at the redvines, 'I thought you might let me come if I gave you these…'

Ron snatched the packet out of her hand. 'No way! Sucker!' Ginny started to cry again.

'Well, isn't this cute!' Malfoy said. 'A redhead reunion!' He slid off the crate of diapers he was sitting on, did a forward roll along the path and pulled himself up in a body-roll so he was standing right in front of the youngest Weasley.

'You know…'

'Little D! Oh, Little D! Luna!'

It seemed like every time the gang saw Draco, Firenze turned up, and vice versa.

'Oh, hello, Harry Potter, the centaur said, giving him a little bow.

'Great to see ya, buddy,' Harry returned, getting out his guitar in the hope that he could spontaneously burst into a song entitled 'Great to See Ya.'

'Indubitably,' Firenze said, turning back to Malfoy, 'Little D, you must get back to the Cenchaur Tree Village at once!'

'Why?' Draco asked, and then his elf-like face lit up. 'Has the rocket ship arrived?'

'No, it's the fair Umbridge- the young hybrids are on their way!'

Bit of a filler, but some important stuff is about to happen. Umbridge is having the babies, and we get to see just how effective redvines really are...but who saves the day when a crisis strikes Firenze? I may have already given you a clue...

If you can guess, you get a free flight to Mars.

Keep reading and reviewing, my lovelies, and don't forget to take your foot, your little foot, and dance again!
