Ok I suck. It's taken me a while to think of something to write about. This one is thanks to my good friend Pheebs, she inspired this chapter, I hope you like it. Though I know it is not the best chapter ever, I still hope its helpful.
Usual disclaimers: I own nothing, I just I wish I did.
Chapter 12: How to deal with aftermath of Full Moon.
Seamus stood in the kitchen looking down the list that he had created for Lavender, last night was Full Moon and he knew she would be feeling a little bit tender and miserable as she hated transforming and she was usually a mess the day after, it couldn't be fun. He doubled checked the list that he had put together using his mother's advise as to what will help cheer up a woman after certain times of the month. The list looked like this:
+ One Oversized Fluffy Blanket
+ One GIANT bar of Honeydukes chocolate
+ Two Huge Mugs
+ One pair of fluffy slippers
+ One Jar of Cocoa
+ A tin of the homemade gingerbread 'pack', iced and labelled accordingly. (Made by Mum)
+ Three bags of Cadburys chocolate buttons
+ Four blocks of Tiger Balm
+ One distinctly bottle of passion fruit and tangerine bubble bath
+ One fluffy polar bear cuddly toy
Seamus looked down the list and in the basket, he had Lavender's favourite dinner cooking for later on when she was hungry and had the kettle boiled for making the cocoa. He had also borrowed a DVD player from his dad, with a load of Lavender's favourite dvd's and had planned to spend the day in bed just chilling out and making sure she was relaxing and getting better. He also had news for her which he figured would cheer her up.
He picked up the basket and headed to the bedroom and knocked on the door "Lavs? Are you awake?" he opened the door a little and saw her sat up in bed looking tired and very sore. She smiled at him weakly, "hi" she watched as he came around and sat next to her on the bed and placed a basket on the floor, she looked at it curiously as she looked back at Shay curiously. "How ya feeling babe?" he asked her as he pulled her close and gave her a hug trying not to hurt her and kissed her briefly on the cheek. "I'm a little sore." She replied as she kissed him back on the cheek "but its to be expected at least I don't hurt as much this time" she paused and looked at the floor again "what have you got there?" she asked pointing gingerly to the floor and Seamus smiled. "its just a small present. To help ya feel better, its my Post Moon Survival kit. And I've got ya favourite dinner on cooking for when ya hungry" he grinned at her. "I also have news for you." he finished and picked the basket and passed her it. "this is full of everything you need to stop in bed ANDDDD I have all ya favourite films ready to watch and I borrowed me da's dvd player." Lavender beamed at Seamus, "You did all this for me?" she asked before remembering something about news "wait, what news…." She then demanded from him taking some of the chocolate off one of the bars and eating a square and offering some to Seamus who smiled at her.
He took a bit of the chocolate and popped into his mouth, "remember that ring you made for Neville?" he asked her smiling, "Yeah?" she replied looking confused still but having a rough idea where this was heading as she remembered her thoughts about what the ring was for. "well…Neville took Hannah away this weekend and guess what?" Seamus was grinning at Lavender who seemed to figure it out and flung her hands to her mouth "HE PROPOSED TO HER?" She squealed excitedly because she knew exactly what Hannah would have said if he did. Seamus nodded at her and she squealed again and then winced as she felt pain in her back "Careful love" Seamus said as he saw her wince "anyway, there engaged, Hannah wanted to come tell you herself but she wasn't sure if you would be up to visitors, there having a party next week at the Leaky Cauldron. Everyone is going to be there, so we have to go ok?" Lavender felt her smile fade a little, a party with everyone from school, so close to Full moon having been over. "Lavs, we're going, everything will be fine. Trust me." Lavender nodded "Ok then" she took a deep breath "its Hannah, I can do it for her. And you of course." She snuggled into Seamus and said "but this week you will need to take extra special care of me to make sure I am fit enough to go to the party" Seamus smiled kissed Lavender on the lips and chuckled a little "Sure babe, anything to make you better" Lavender giggled and kissed Seamus back, feeling like this week was going to be a good one.
