A/N - Hello people. I'm so sorry for taking so long to bring out the last chapter. I've been moving my stuff up to my apartment for school. I START COLLEGE IN ONE WEEK!!!!! I'M SCARED TO DEATH!!!!
I finally saw the video to this song. I hated it!!! How could you put girls on display like that??? Personally, I can't stand it. It looked like a cheap .......... Never mind.
Anyway, here's the last chapter for you all. I hope I wrapped everything up okay. I've had a good time writing this, and it is my first COMPLETED fic. My other one, Wolf's Bane, is no where near done. So here you go, peeps. Last one.
The Conclusion Is......
We ain't wrong, we ain't sorry, and it's probably gonna happen,
Sure it's gonna happen, You know it's gonna happen again.
And that's the truth about men.
After the boys stepped into the room and began to retell the story of the world's worst/best game, depending on who you were rooting for, the ladies were swept up into every twist, turn, and swoop of the game. The guys who were going for Puddlemere (Draco and Harry) were sorely upset that they had been let down.
"Oliver was really off his spot tonight." Harry said disgustedly. "I don't know what is up with him. His last game against the Harpies was so much better."
"For once, I agree with Potter." Draco said unhappily. "Leave it up to a Gryffindor to let the game go down the drain. I don't know what I was thinking, rooting for a team with not only one Gryffindor player on it, but TWO. I'm losing my mind!" Hermione cut her eyes up at her husband and frowned.
"You do realize that your wife is a Gryffindor?" she asked sarcastically. "You'd better watch what you're saying or you know where you're going to wind up." Draco paled and promptly shut up about the 'lousy Gryffindor Quidditch players'. The guys snickered and the ladies looked on with knowing glances.
"Well, at least the Canons won." Blaise said with a grin. "I actually picked a winning team this time." Pansy snickered and rolled her eyes.
"Good, then maybe you won't have to keep Harry and Ginny company for a few nights." Blaise shuddered and tried to brush the comment off as Harry grinned and the other guys looked on, confused.
"Even if Pansy did kick you out for a few nights," Ginny said sweetly, "it would be okay. It is much quieter around the house than it was the last time you were there." Harry shook his head and looked away, knowing that she was referring to his power tool fetish. Ron smiled and looked over at Susan.
"You ready to go, Sue?" he asked. "I need to go send a letter to Fred and George. They owe me big for this game."
"Owe you for the game? Do what?" Susan asked.
"Oh," Ron said with a frown. "I didn't tell you? Well, Fred and George bet me a few galleons that the Canons would loose. They lost the bet, and now they have to pony up the money." Susan shook her head and looked at Pansy.
"I think he's been around your husband too long." she said sadly. "He's picking up on Blaise's bad habits." Pansy snickered and Blaise threw the red-head a nasty glare that would have made Professor Snape proud. "Besides," she continued with a glint in her eyes, "I need to send a list of things to Fred and George that I need." Ron's face suddenly matched his hair color.
"Uh, Sue," he asked timidly, "what did you need from the twins? I am sure I can pick it up for you later on when we go to the shop." Susan smiled and shook her head.
"It's okay, Ron. They can owl me the things. It's no big deal." she said. Ron shook his head and made a slicing motion at his throat when the guys looked up at him with curious glances. Susan stood up and smiled at the gathered group.
"It was good talking to you girls." she said with a grin. "We'll need to do it again sometime....before the next Quidditch match."
"Yeah, we'd better be going." Ron said. "I'll talk to you guys later."
"Alright." Hermione said. "You guys be careful. I'll owl you later, Susan."
"Bye." the couple said as they pulled out their wands and Apparated away. When the two were out of sight, Padma yawned and tapped Justin on the shoulder.
"You ready to go, Justin?" she asked. "I need to get back home and finish some things before work tomorrow."
"Yeah, let's go." Justin answered. Ginny snickered and looked over at Pansy.
"You sure you haven't forgotten how to get home?" she asked sweetly. Justin looked at her and rolled his eyes.
"I know how to get home, Ginny. I assure you." he said evenly.
"As long as it's not somewhere in Muggle London." Hermione whispered to Pansy, but loud enough for everyone else (including Justin) to hear.
"Bye, guys. I'll talk to you later." Padma said before dis-apparating from the manor. Harry put his arm around Ginny and grinned.
"Ready to go, Gin?" he asked.
"Yeah, maybe I can get some peace and quiet at the house. You guys were certainly loud enough in there. I thought there was a zoo in the place with all that noise!" Ginny said.
"Sorry," Harry said sheepishly. "Caught up in the moment." Draco and Blaise grinned and nodded their heads in agreement.
"Yeah, we need to get going before Hermione sees the mess in that room." Blaise said. "Let's go, Pansy." Pansy stood up and bowed low.
"I am at your beck and call, master." she said sarcastically. Blaise grinned and walked up to her.
"Darn straight, you are woman." he said. Draco and Hermione said their good-byes as their friends left with distinct pops. When they were alone at last, Hermione went to her husband and hugged him.
"Well, how was the game?" she asked.
"Okay." he said. "I still say that Oliver Wood was out of his spot tonight." Hermione nodded and grinned. "So, what did you guys do while we were acting like animals in the room." Hermione smiled, remembering the conversations revolving around the guy's weak points. No matter what they had complained about, the girls knew that their husbands were good guys at heart. She smiled at him and shook her head.
"We discussed some things and came to one conclusion." she said.
"What's that?" Draco asked. "Or do I want to hear it?" Hermione smiled and nodded.
"It's not bad, I promise." she said.
"Well, what is it?"
" When America's constitution was drafted and they put in the clause about 'all men being created equal', I don't thin they realized exactly how accurate they were. You men are all the same." she said with a grin. Draco grimaced and shook his head.
"You mean that you were comparing me to Finch-Fletchly, Zabini, Potter, and Weasley?" he asked in mock hurt. "That is unfair. You know I am superior to them in every way possible." Hermione shook her head, realizing that the other guys would probably say the same thing, only with the names changed. She smiled up at Draco and patted his hand.
"Like I said." she snickered. "You are all the same. But we love you anyways."
The End
