I would like to thank everyone for their patience and well wishes for my grandma, the surgery was a success and she is perfectly fine. ^_^ I have a very large NY Italian family we took up one whole section of the waiting room, and most of us weren't even there! It got very loud when we heard the good news. It was almost a comedy. The poor doctor was short about 5'2"-5'3" and all the males in my family are tall, so when he came out he was surrounded by about six very tall men, and the doc got a little scared. The doc told us the good news we all started cheering, then crying and then everyone whipped out cell phones in a span of about 3 minutes. "Who's calling who?" "Did you call this one?" "I have this one on the phone" "No don't call them! I already called that one!" We're just waiting for her to come home now.

Thank you to:

Party's over

88888888888

After the explosion between Ron and Draco things were pretty quiet at the party. George took Ron home because he kept trying to get up the stairs to curse Draco. Harry was cozying up to one of Vanessa's modeling friends; Alexis and Fred were too busy making out in the corner to pay attention to anyone else. Jake and Daniel were on the floor dancing crazy with a crowd of girls; Vanessa and Hermione made a few more rounds of the room chatting with people before they settled down near the mini waterfall. Rhys wandered over and sat down across from Hermione on the soft grass.

"So what's the deal with blondie?" Rhys asked.

"Draco? He's our body guard, our father's idea," Hermione answered.

"He's a good friend, him and Hermione are especially close," Vanessa smirked at Hermione's glare and Rhys' raised eyebrow.

"Anyway, it was either Draco lived here or we lived with our father," Hermione said.

"That has to be awkward for any boyfriends," Rhys looked pointedly at Hermione; Vanessa narrowed her eyes at him without anyone seeing.

"Oh no boyfriends to worry about," Hermione replied seriously, Vanessa rolled her eyes 'naïve much?'

"Really? Well - "

"Hermione, Vanessa," a voice called from the stairs. Both girls turned to find Draco standing at the foot of the stairs.

"Sorry to spoil the fun but it is late and we have to catch the train early tomorrow."

"True, come on Hermione let's go let the guests know," Vanessa grabbed her twins hand and dragged a bewildered Hermione through the crowd. Draco glared at Rhys.

"I know why you're here, and I will not allow it to happen."

"You have no idea why I'm here blondie; and if you knew what was good for you, you would back off now," Rhys replied arrogantly standing up and facing Draco. Draco's hands fisted at his side and he stepped right in front of Rhys.

"I know exactly why you are here you wanna be badass, and I know exactly who you are. You will not play with Hermione, leave her alone," Draco hissed, Rhys smirked.

"Not a chance in hell pretty boy."

"You son of a b-"

"Draco?" The boys turned to find Hermione walking towards them; everyone had left except the few who had headed out the door. Hermione looked worriedly between the two, Rhys smiled at her and Draco just stepped back.

"What ya need?" Draco asked.

"Would you mind cleaning up the kitchen while Vanessa and I take down everything else?"

"Not at all," Draco said walking off to the kitchen with one last glare at Rhys. Rhys laughed and turned to Hermione with a dazzling smile.

"So Hermione anything I can do for you?" Hermione blushed; Vanessa came up with a fake smile on her face.

"No, the best help you can be is by leaving. Not much to be done anyway, party is over and we need to head to bed. I'll see you out," Vanessa took Rhys by the elbow and so as not to seem rude Rhys followed with a wave to Hermione. Hermione just blinked in confusion, Vanessa strolled back with a mischievous smile on her face.

"What in the world was that all about?" Hermione asked.

"What was what all about?" Vanessa asked innocently.

"Nes, you know exactly what I am talking about. You practically threw him out and what are you up too?"

"I'm not up to anything," Vanessa replied running up the stairs before her sister could ask her anymore questions.

"VANESSA! You need to help clean up your part!" Hermione yelled. In a sudden rush all the flames poofed out of existence with little smoke and the water drained away.

"THERE!" Vanessa called down the stairs.

Hermione just shook her head at her twin's antics and finished cleaning up the room. She would find out what her sister was up to sooner or later. Vanessa was her twin after all; they couldn't keep secrets from each other for long.

A/N: I know the chapter is really really short but while my grandma is in the hospital we gotta clean and do work on the house. She yells at us if we try to fix things or clean for her lol so we have to do it all before she gets back! But since I don't have any summer classes this term I'll have more time to work on chapters. I just wanted to give you guys something while I had the chance.

Thanks again everyone! R&R
