So I totally lied when I said that I would have this updated when I sick. So that didn't happen, but I defiantly caught up on sleep. Then wedding planning and work got in the way. But here it is, the last chapter.
Chapter 13- Party Time
The party planning took about 2 weeks. They sent out the invitations out as soon as possible. Everyone they sent invites too, were all coming. Good thing they had a big house for everyone to fit in. And thank god for magic, Hermione expanded the living room to fit everyone in there so no one would be on top of each other. Harry was in charge of buying and making any food or drinks they will need. Nate was excited to help his dad out in the kitchen. He got to stir all the food, as long as he was careful.
Hermione had Teddy on decorating duty with her. The two of them made sure everything looked like a ballroom. When Hermione was a little girl, she always dreamed that when she got married her reception was in the same room as the ballroom from Beauty and the Beast. So while Hermione was doing all the charms to make the room look like that ballroom, Teddy was setting the tables. Hermione looked over to Teddy and smiled. They had bonded a lot since coming home from England. Sure Teddy was more like Harry in everything but his now found love of Disney movies. Being raised by Andromeda, even though she married as muggleborn, still didn't know much of the muggle world. So Hermione has been giving Teddy a crash course in all things muggle. They may be a wizarding family but that doesn't mean Hermione can just give up her roots. Especially when they have muggles as grandparents.
Noticing the time Hermione realized that they only had an hour before everyone got there. "Alright boys I need you to change into the offits that are on your bed. If you need help ask for me or daddy."
As two boys nodded their heads and ran upstairs to their rooms. Harry finished cleaning his mess in the kitchen and put warming spells on anything that needed it. "Alright let's get ready."
The two of them went to their room and started getting ready. Hermione put on a knee length strapless white dress with white heels. While she went to the bathroom to do her hair and make up, Harry put on a pair black dress pants with a crisp white shirt tucked in following with a nice solid blue tie. Thankfully he knew a spell, that Hermione of course taught him, for fixing a tie.
Going into the bathroom he stopped and stared at Hermione. She had her hair in a low messy side bun, that still looked elegant. Her makeup was soft but still brought out all her features.
"What are your staring at Mr. Potter?" Hermione asked while doing her finishing touches.
Wrapping his arms around her. "Just the beautiful Mrs. Potter. You look stunning. Definitely going to be the hottest person at the party."
"Oh your just saying that."
"But I mean it. You are drop dead gorgeous. I don't know how I ever got so lucky."
Turning in his arms. "Well I'm still trying to figure that out too."
Fake laughing as Hermione wrapped her arms around him. "You are so funny."
Smiling with a cheesy grin. "I know. Let's go check on the boys. If they are anything like you they are going to need help with their ties."
Kissing her softly. "Sounds good. And they have clip on ties. That is so much easier to put on. But no I have to be an adult and wear a normal tie."
Laughing she walked into Teddy's room. "Hey buddy do you need any help?"
"No I got it." Looking up at Hermione. "You look pretty."
"Why thank you handsome." Hermione said looking at his offit. Both boys were wearing the same thing as Harry. Hermione couldn't wait to see Nate in his offit. As the mini Harry hates wearing ties just as much as Harry.
"How long do I have to wear this?" Teddy asked glaring down at his tie.
Hermione laughed softly, thinking 'Well know I have to deal with three tie hating guys.' "Well Teddy you have to wear it for at least an hour when all our guest get here. Then you are free to take it off. I just want you to look good for the photos. Thin you can handle that?"
Nodding his head. "Yeah I can handle it. Can I at least have a fun hair color?"
Smiling softly. "Of course. How about blue? So it will match your tie?"
The second Hermione said blue, Teddy changed his hair color. Running to the mirror, he got a goofy grin on his face. "Now I look like me!"
"Well of course you look like you silly." Harry said with Nate in tow.
"Aww look at all my boys." Hermione said with tears in her eyes. "Thank Merlin for make up spells."
The door bell rang and that was when the party began. Everyone they invited came to the party. Myra and Jonah were the first ones to show up with their son Liam. Followed by Hermione's parents. Liam ran off to play with Teddy and Nate.
While Myra walked over to Hermione. "Took you two long enough to finally get married. If I knew that you guys going back to Hogwarts would make you realize that you need to get married, then I would have spilled our secret a long time ago and we could of had a friendcation."
Laughing looking at her first American friend. "A what?"
"A friend vacation. Friendcation. You know for being the brightest witch of her age. You really need to learn how to put two and two together."
"You're ridiculous. Now we didn't even realize we needed to go back to Hogwarts." Looking over at the door she saw the family of red heads walk in. "Now there are a couple of pranksters I need to introduce to you."
Leaving Myra with Fred and George. She went to go find Harry. Saying hi to the guest and thanking them as she walked by, she finally found him talking with Draco.
"Well hello Mrs. Hermione my husband just won't die Potter." Draco said kissing Hermione on the cheek.
"Hello to you too." Hermione said kissing Draco on the cheek.
"The kids were so excited to see Nate again. It was all they could talk about after the reunion. I think Rory might have a crush on him."
Looking over at the kids, Harry noticed that Rory and Nate were holding hands. "Well we might end up being related later on you never know. It might blow up the magical world. The Potters and Malfoys becoming a family."
"My father will be rolling in his grave." Draco said with a smirk on his face. "Actually all my ancestors will be."
Everyone starting tapping on their glasses, yelling speech.
"Come on Harry. It's been awhile since we heard a speech by you!" Ron said. "It might be because there is no mad man after you and you moved to America. But still!"
Laughing Harry filled his glass with more champagne and looked over at Hermione. "Well this speech will be different then the ones I am used to giving. But uh, thank you all for coming. I know that international portkeys are never fun. Hermione and I couldn't be more happy. It's been a long time coming." Everyone nodded and laughing softly. "But I couldn't have it any other way. I finally have a family of my own. Not that the Weasley's weren't my adoptive family.
Thank you Arthur and Molly for welcoming myself and Hermione into your family. You have no idea how much you mean to me." Nodding his head to the red headed family. "And Myra and Jonah, thank you so much for forcing us to have that date. Without you two Nate and any other future probably wouldn't be born. As Hermione and I were oblivious having feelings for each other. And also thank you for making Chicago feel like home." Looking over at Hermione with a goofy smile on his face. "And last but not least thank you Hermione, for being exactly who are are. I couldn't be happier. Thank you for letting me love you, giving me Nate, saving my life and Ron's every year at Hogwarts. Without you I don't know how I would have survived. I love you so much. I would be nothing without you. But if you asked me first year, that the bossy, curly haired girl who was asking if we saw a toad, would end up being my wife. I would have laughed in their face. Cause who marries their best friend." Chuckling softly. "So thank you everyone for coming and enjoy the rest of the party."
Ron walked over to Harry and Hermione. "Let's raise our glass to Mr and Mrs Harry Potter! My best friends! Congratulations!" Everyone followed Ron in raising their glasses. "Love you guys."
The party ended a couple hours later. After they said goodbye to all their guests, Harry went to go put the boys to bed. While Hermione flicked her wand and cleaned up. Once she was satisfied with what she saw, she walked up to her and Harry's bedroom. Slipping off her heels as she sat down on the bed. Harry was stripping out of his party clothes.
"So I have a present for you." Hermione said grabbing a long skinny box out of her bedside nightstand.
Looking over at her with a nervous look on his face. "Uh I didn't know that we were doing presents."
Laughing lightly as she held out the box for him to take. "It wasn't planned. I saw it and thought you would like it."
"Well let's see what you got me." Opening the box there was a positive pregnancy test. "You're pregnant? We're having another baby?"
Nodding her head. "We are. I found out before the party."
Looking up at her with a huge smile on his face. "Well that explains why you didn't drink any of the champagne." Walking over to her. "I love you Hermione Potter."
"I love you too Harry Potter."
