It had been two weeks since they had moved into their new house. Since Ron and Hermione had decided to have their wedding as soon as possible, all of the families were there: Fred and Angelina and their children Riley and Sepia, George and Katie and their daughter Carrie, Percy and Penelope with Lucy and Peter, Charlie, Bill, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and Granger. The house was full of more people then it could hold. Percy had to conjure a few cots for the children, who all complained about the stiffness.
"I tell you. We should go a little less on the Starch."
Dean, Seamus, Neville, Dumbledore, McGonagall, Hagrid, Lupin, Sirius, and Lavender and Parvati were all invited to the wedding but weren't staying there before hand.
This particular night was the night before the wedding, Ron was being taken to The Leaky Cauldron by the guys, Hermione was staying home with the girls, and the parents were all going out separately.
"Come on, Ron! We got you some gifts! What the hell is a bachelor party without a few things to help you along? Come on little brother, over this way. Here, have some." Charlie handed him a brandy. All of the guys were at the Leaky Cauldron that they had rented out.
"Gifts? You shouldn't have." Ron was sensing doom. Oh, no!
"Yes. We should have." Spouted Bill.
"No, you REALLY shouldn't have."
Fred and George slid their gifts over to Ron first. On was roundish and the other on box-like.
He seized the round one and tore open the paper.
"A toilet seat?!" Ron exclaimed.
"Au Contraire. A HOGWARTS toilet seat."
"You guys always used to promise to mail one of these home."
"Use it well, wise one." George bowed.
Next, Ron grappled for the box.
"What!! You bought me WHAT?!"
"Condoms, my dear. EXTRA small ones."
"Thanks, I think, You underestimate me, DEAR brothers."
Bill handed him a lumpy package. Ron took it and tore open the paper. It was a bottle. He read the label aloud:
"Bertie Bott's Every Flavor body rub?!? Are you guys trying to tell me something?"
"You really should prepare yourself. After all you are new to such things."
"How do YOU know?"
"Ron, Ron, Ron, the only girl you've ever gone out with it Hermione… and we know how she is about stuff like that," Said Harry, "Here open mine."
Ron picked up a bag with tissue-paper in it. He pulled out 3 boxes.
"Cherry Flavored, GLOW IN THE DARK!!? "Oh, look regular, maybe I could actually put those to use… Did I just say that out loud?"
"Bit tipsy, eh Ron? I warned you. Here have this." Charlie handed him a whiskey.
Percy shoved a rectangular gift his way. Ron unwrapped it skillfully and took out the contents.
"A book? Human Anatomy? Ha ha really funny, guys."
"I thought you might find it a good read," said Percy, But he looked as if he was obviously joking. I didn't know Percy was like that, well he does have kids.
"Sure…."
They continued to eat drink and be merry, until they all agreed it was getting late. They all got in cars and went back to Ron's house. Everyone else went up to a room and went to sleep, except Ron. He discovered Hermione in the midst of many boxes.
"Hey Sweetie! What did You get. A lot I gather. Oh my go what is this?!" Ron held up a skimpyish red-thing."
"Underwear. Anglina gave that one. I mean what do they think we do? Have sex all the time?"
"Maybe, I wouldn't put it past them."
"I bet they also think that we are going to get right on it once we leave the ceremony."
"Will will though right?"
"Yes. Not Right away, but sure. I don't need THEM knowing that!"
