"Wake up everybody, we've gotten packages!" Ron yelled up the stairs. Harry and Malfoy were the first ones down the stairs. Hermione, Ginny, and Lavender headed to the kitchen to make breakfast. After breakfast, they made their way to the living room. There were packages of all shapes and sizes under the tree. Lavender, who had been feeling left out, was asked if she'd like to pass out gifts. This was a tradition that Hermione been doing it since she was little. Lavender accepted the job and had fun doing it. She passed everyone's presents to them and they took turns opening them. It was Hermione's turn and she got a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.
"They're from Hagrid. Apparently he's given up on making anything himself." Hermione said with a laugh. Harry and Ron opened theirs to find Bertie Bott's as well. It was Malfoy's turn and he opened a package containing a bunch of chocolate frogs.
"Who's that from?" Lavender asked.
"Oh, it's from Hagrid." Draco replied. Hermione saw the puzzled look on Ron's face and explained why he had gotten a present.
"Do you remember when you didn't talk to me? Well who did I talk to? Hagrid. He's the first one I told about us."
After everyone except Malfoy had all their presents unwrapped, Malfoy unwrapped his last present from Hermione. It was a Firebolt.
"Mione. What's this for? I don't play quidditch." Malfoy said.
"Yes, I know. But try-outs are coming up soon, so I figured you'd need a good broom." Hermione said.
Hermione stood up and went to a spot in the middle of the room. "When I was younger, my parents and any of my other relatives who wanted to, kissed under the mistletoe."
She waved her wand and three sprigs of mistletoe appeared on the ceiling. Harry stood up and pulled Ginny to the first one, Ron and Lavender got the second one, and Draco and Hermione got the last one. They all kissed and Ron tapped Draco on the arm. When Draco looked, Ron pulled his hand back like he was going to punch him. Instead, he threw his hand out and waited for Draco to shake it. Draco did, but then he hugged Ron and they all laughed and went back to kissing.
Afterward, everybody sat down to talk about Ron and Lavender's wedding. "Well, I was thinking..." Ron started, but Lavender cut him off.
"Wait! Harry and Ginny are getting married and so are Hermione and Draco. What if we have a combined wedding? You know. The 6 of us, then we can have everyone there at once, especially for your mom Ron, 'cause she has to go to two."
Ron thought for a minute and finally said, "That's a great idea! What do you guys think?" The four of them thought a minute.
Hermione and Ginny had their minds made up instantly, but the guys had to ask their opinion.
"What do you two think?" Harry asked the girls.
"We love the idea." they said together.
"Whatever makes you happy, Mione." Draco said and Harry agreed.
"This is going to be so perfect." Ginny said and hugged Hermione and Lavender.
The week flew by so fast, that they didn't have time to make any plans for the weddings. They didn't plan on telling anybody about the joint wedding, except for the people that were working with them on the wedding, until the invitations were sent out. They were all so happy they had become friends.
As they were leaving, Harry went over to Draco and said, "I'll talk to the coach, to see if I can get you an early try-out. Okay?"
Draco nodded and shook Harry's hand. "I can't believe we were enemies the whole time we were in school. Can you imagine what my father would be saying right now?"
They both laughed, but Harry said, "I'm sorry about your father. He wasn't supposed to die. He was just supposed to be arrested."
Draco said it wasn't his fault, and his father deserved it anyway.
When they left, they made plans to meet that weekend in the park near Hermione's house. They would arrive in 10 minute intervals, to make sure if any magical people saw them, they wouldn't think they were up to something.
