2/3 for today!
Thursday, September 25, 1998
Gin went back to school after breakfast and Millie showed up mid morning to help with thank yous. Somehow Jean had convinced both Richard and Theo to help with the endeavour. Each of the 137 cards got a personalised message that not only thanked the guest for the gift, but also briefly explained how it would be used.
By the time lunch rolled around, they were only halfway done. Hermione ate with gusto, thoroughly appreciating the Elves' attention to her cravings. The rest of the day stretched on in a seemingly endless stream of thank yous.
Finally, when they were finished, Draco arrived home, going on and on about his day. "Enough!" Hermione said firmly after he continued to talk for close to five minutes straight. "I'm so tired, and tomorrow I have to back to school and teach your curriculum."
Draco just blinked at her. "I tried to warn you, mate," Theo said with a shrug. "This has been quite the week."
"I'm sorry for snapping, Draco, I just…" she let out a heavy sigh and felt tears prick her eyes. "I'm so fucking tired."
Draco's eyes softened, as he wrapped his arms around her. "I'm sorry, darling, I should have paid closer attention to how you were feeling. Why don't we just go and cuddle up in bed?"
"I don't want to go to bed!" she said petulantly. "I want to get out and explore. I want to…" she sighed.
"I have an idea," Theo said with a grin, "but it's a surprise and it won't come until Saturday."
Hermione rested her cheek against Draco's chest and just nodded. "Fine, let's go to bed," she said quietly.
