Chapter 2: The party
(Hello everyone! Here comes chapter two! I got lots of reviews on my first story *Countercursed* and a few on the sequel! Thank you for reviewing! I would like to answer a few questions for ya'll. Harry WILL ask Ginny to marry him, and soon, I promise...hehehe...I know the beginning of the first story wasn't very good, but hey, can you blame me? It was my first fan fic! I already know who everyone will eventually hook up with, so don't worry! By the time I'm done with the Countercursed trilogy (hehehe) Everyone will be happy! If you have any other questions about what is to come or anything else, email me! (texaschick_1223@hotmail.com) and I'll reply! Ok, so, on with the story!)
Harry was left alone again the following day. His friends returned to work, Ginny had gone to Diagon ally to buy her school things, and once again Harry was bored stiff. He didn't have anything to work on for the party. He'd planned all that a long time ago. He'd gotten replies from every one of the people who received invitations, confirming that that night will be out of control. Draco had suggested they buy some really strong alcohol to keep them awake. Hermionie had refused flat out, saying she didn't want a house full of drunks. So what did Draco and Ron do? Bought the strongest alcohol they could find and hid it in a pitcher labeled lemonade. Harry told them it was stupid, but they ignored him. Finally at about 2 o'clock that afternoon, he got a visitor.
"Harry!"
A voice yelled. Harry, who was in the kitchen at the time, dropped a plate on his foot which resulted in glass everywhere
"Damn!"
He grunted
"I'm in the kitchen!"
He shouted, waving his wand and clearing away the glass. He turned towards the door and smiled. It was Riley
"Well, I'm on my rather late lunch break so I decided to come visit!"
She said, grinning
"Oh, how sweet"
Harry said, exiting the kitchen. Riley followed him
"So, Ron's been telling me about this party..."
She said. Harry snorted
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, and since I'm not invited I decided to help you out, you now, make everything spiffy, there's one thing Americans are good at, and that's planning parties."
She winked at him and Harry rolled his eyes
"Right! What did you have in mind Mrs. Party Planner?"
"Well..."
Riley began
"You're having a party with a bunch of 18 year olds. You have to have a lot of junk food, let me see the food list"
Harry raised his wand
"Accio food list"
He shouted. A rather long list shot into his outstretched hand. He tossed it to Riley who read it
"Crap, crap, crap, what kind of people eat this stuff? Crap, crap, crap! Who on earth wrote this list?!"
Harry chucked
"Hermionie"
He grunted
"My lord! Ron told me she was smart!"
Riley cried, quickly turning the magazine on the couch into a quill. She marked out most everything on the list, save 'crisps' and 'sodas'.
"And why is there no beer on this?"
She asked, after she added about 8 things
"Hermionie doesn't want a bunch of drunks in her apartment"
Harry replied
"Ok, she's intelligent maybe, but a crappy party planner"
Riley said, tossing the list back to Harry. Harry glanced over it and rolled his eyes
"She'll have your head"
He muttered
"Yeah, let her try"
Riley huffed, standing up.
"Now lets see, this apartment needs color, you can change it back after the party, but it's to dull"
She waved her wand and changed the walls bright orange
"Ron'll love that"
Harry muttered, grinning
"I know"
She replied. She changed all the light bulbs to glow blue, changed to couch bright yellow and the pillows bright red, green, and pink. Harry just let her work, hoping Hermionie wouldn't get to mad....his hopes didn't come true. Riley left a while later and Harry fell asleep, waking up to loud shrieking from the door
"HARRY POTTER!"
Oh boy Harry thought opening his eyes. Hermionie was standing over him, hands on hips, her eyes flashing dangerously. Ron was standing behind her, giving him a thumbs up
"WHAT DID YOU DO?"
Harry blushed slightly. He tried to think up some lie, but decided against it, and told the truth
"Well, um, Riley came over and said the room was to dull for a party and changed things around a bit"
"SHE WHAT?!"
Harry shrunk back, he shouldn't have mentioned Riley
"Yeah, oh come on Hermionie, I think it looks cool"
"YOU LET HER DESTROY THE APARTMENT!?"
"It's not destroyed...plus we can change it back when the parties over..."
Harry mumbled, looking at Ron for help
"Yeah, chill out Hermionie"
Not exactly the help he was hoping for. She rounded on Ron
"You AGREE with them?"
Ron swallowed
"Uh, yeah?"
Bad answer. Hermionie shrieked in anger and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her. Ron chuckled
"When will she ever stop hating Riley?"
"When Riley becomes a smart, sophisticated English woman"
Harry replied. Ron snorted
"That'll be the day. I love it Harry, it really adds-"
CRASH! The sound of breaking glass echoed through the room. Harry and Ron spun around. Draco was standing in the doorway, the remains of...something...lying at his feet
"Holy shit!"
He cried, surveying the room
"What did you two do?"
"It wasn't us, it was Riley"
Draco's eyes widened
"Has Hermionie seen? She's going to kill Riley!"
"Yeah, she's seen, we just had a slight argument"
Ron said. Draco rolled his eyes
"This is definitely party material"
He muttered, smiling. Ron and Harry laughed, then went to go retrieve Hermionie.
~*~
Keeping the rooms like they were was not an easy task. Harry had to keep a constant watch on Hermionie so she wouldn't change them back. Riley had returned a few days later, resulting in a huge row between her and Hermionie. Riley found it hilarious, Hermionie did not. On August 30th Ron, Draco and Hermionie stayed home from work to put some finishing touches on the house, Harry went to Quidditch practice. Wood was worse than he had been at Hogwarts, if that was possible. He worked the team into the ground. Harry had immediately taken to the beater, Jonathan. He was only 20, single, and an all around clown. Wood chewed him and Harry out numerous times through out the practice. When Harry returned, he helped his friends finish the food (A combination of Rileys and Hermionie's) then went to bed. The next morning he got up early and went to the burrow. He had agreed to take Ginny to the Platform and see her off. He appeared in the kitchen and looked around. Mr. Weasley was asleep on the couch, dark circles under his eyes. He could hear Mrs. Weasley and Ginny talking upstairs, but other than that, the house was silent. That was not normal.
"Ginny? Mrs. Wealsey?"
He yelled, forgetting completely that Mr. Weasley was asleep on the couch
"HARRY?"
Came Ginny's voice. There were feet pounding down the stairs, then Ginny appeared. She hugged Harry tightly and kissed his cheek. Then her trunk appeared, followed by her mother who was levitating it down the stairwell.
"Hello Harry dear, are you two ready?"
"Yes Mum"
Ginny said, hugging her mother, then kissing her sleeping fathers cheek. Harry shrunk Ginny's trunk and pocketed it. He took her hand in his, then apparated to the train station. They appeared in an empty part of the station then walked in silence towards the barrier. When the barrier came into view Harry saw Collin and Dennis Creevy. They waved and Harry and Ginny walked over
"Hey Collin, Dennis"
Harry said, grinning
"Hey Harry"
Collin said, grinning back. Ginny went through the barrier, followed by Harry. He removed her trunk and enlarged it, putting into the train for her. He then turned to her
"I'll visit you sometime this year, I promise"
Harry said. Ginny smiled
"You better, or I'll have to sneak out of Hogwarts"
She winked at him then hugged him tightly, kissed him passionately then climbed onto the train. Harry rolled his eyes, then, with one last glance at the train, apparated back to the apartment. When he got back Ron and Hermionie were arguing over how they should put together the CD player that Riley insisted they have. Draco was dragging the TV out of the room, humming to himself, obviously trying to block out Hermionie and Ron's bickering. Harry sighed
"Shut up you two"
He snapped, walking over and looking at the CD player
"Ron, you idiot, you've got it on backwards"
Harry said, flipping the speaker around. He plugged it in easily and pressed play. Immediately music started blaring out of the speakers. Ron stumbled backwards
"Wicked!"
He cried, turning the volume up and down and up and down until Hermionie turned it off. Draco re-entered the room
"Ah, the great Harry Potter fixed it"
He said, smiling. Harry threw a bright orange pillow at him, and hit him in the face. Draco glared at him and threw it back
"Stop being such a grump Draco!"
Ron said, walking into the kitchen and returning with a butterbeer. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Harry glanced at his watch
"It's only 10, what idiot would drag themselves all the way here now?"
Hermionie opened the door....
(I should leave it here....but I wont)
Lockhart. He smiled sheepishly
"I understand Harry Potter lives here"
He said, his eyes landing on Harry
"Ah, Mr. Potter!"
He brushed passed Hermionie his hand held out
"Nice to see you again!"
Harry's mouth fell open as Lockhart attached his hand to Harry's. Ron spat his butterbeer clear across the room, Lockhart didn't notice. Draco was turning purple, trying to stop himself from laughing. Even Hermionie looked amused.
"I work for the Daily Prophet you know and when I told my boss, Rita Skeeter, you know her, that I ran into you she sent me to interview you! Ha! Imagine that!"
He cried, letting go of Harry's hand and pulling out a pad of paper. Ron immediately took action
"Uh, Mr. Potter is busy right now! No interviews!"
Draco and Ron grabbed Lockhart by the shoulders and dragged him out the door, slamming it quickly and locking it. Harry groaned
"Why won't that idiot leave me alone! One year with him was enough, but now, him trying to interview me and...Ah!"
He fell back onto the couch and closed his eyes
"I'm being stocked by a vain, stupid, blonde, memory deprived lunatic!"
He cried quickly, smacking his forehead. Draco snorted
"Don't worry, he won't come back!"
He said cheerfully...to cheerfully...
"How can you be so sure?"
Harry asked, sitting up and looking at Draco, his eyebrows raised
"Uh, I'm not, just a guess"
He said, before dashing up to his room. Harry rolled his eyes and lad back down, falling asleep after a while.
~*~
When he woke up the blue lights were on, music was playing and Hermionie was running around frantically.
"They'll be here any minute!"
She cried. Harry shot up
"What?"
He ran up to his room and jumped in the shower, changed and came back down. When he got down stairs Hannah Abbot, Lisa Turpin, Justin Flinch-Fletchy, Blaise Zambini and Padma Patil were there. Ron was talking loudly to them, waving his arms around and laughing. Harry rolled his eyes and walked over
"Hello all"
He said, they all turned and smiled
"Hey Harry"
They chorused. That was the blast off point. Everyone else showed up and Draco turned up the music. In about thirty minutes Hermionie had gotten into the 'lemonade' and was slightly out of it...more or less drunk. Harry found that funny, Hermionie was the only one drunk at the party.... Draco and Ron found that hilarious, but told no one to worry about her...she was a great drunk. They were dancing and singing, throwing food, pillows and exchanging stories. Padma and Harry were the only two relatively calm ones. Harry was hiding out in the kitchen with Padma, chatting about Quiddtich and Padma's job at the Ministry when they heard screaming and giggling from the living room. They peaked out to see Draco and Hermionie up on the table, shaking their butts to some muggle song. Ron was on the floor, laughing so hard Harry swore he was turning blue. Hannah had a camera out and was snapping pictures, while laughing. Harry snorted and Padma shook her head
"Never give Hermionie or Draco alcohol again"
She said, rolling her eyes. Harry started to laugh harder when he saw Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zambini join them. Hermionie and a bunch of Slytherins, how lovely. Then Blaise jumped, the table cracked, and the group went tumbling to the floor. Harry thought Ron was gunna wet his pants. Padma was literally holding Harry up, and Hannah was now snapping pictures of Ron who was gasping for air, still blue in the face. Hermionie sort of staggered up and fell into Draco who carried her over towards the kitchen. He set her down on the kitchen table and handed her a glass of water
"You two are so drunk"
Harry said, shaking his head
"Am not"
Hermionie slurred, gulping down the water and spilling some down her front. Draco raised an eyebrow
"I'm not drunk Potter, but I know how to have a good time, I haven't had anything to drink all night"
Harry and Padma glanced at each other
"Loony"
Padma said, leaving the kitchen. Harry smiled and followed her out to go help Ron up, who was still howling. When he managed to calm down, Justin started up a game of twister...a muggle game he said was very entertaining. It was, for Hannah, who still had the camera. Ron was playing, along with Pansy, Justin, Lisa, Hermionie and Draco. Harry was laughing at them all, standing beside Hannah who was snapping photo after photo. At about 3 in the morning Harry's neighbor came over and told them to shut up. So he ended the party and sent everyone home. Padma stayed the night in a guest room. Draco put Hermionie in hers, then went back down stairs and fell asleep on the couch. Harry and Ron went to their respective rooms and fell asleep immediately.
