ONE WEEK LATER!!!

Hermione woke up to the sound of voices. Draco must already be awake, but whom was he talking to?

She got out of bed and put on her robe. She crept out of the room toward the sound of Draco's voice.

"We should get Hermione to help too. I mean she is his best friend." She heard Draco say.

"Go get her then." Said the other voice, which sounded a lot like... Ron's voice?

She heard the sound of shoes against the floor. She quickly ran back to her bedroom. She threw off her robe and jumped back into bed.

Not ten seconds later did Draco walk into the room. "'Mione?" he whispered. He walked over next to the bed, and looked at Hermione. She looked beautiful when she was 'asleep'. Oh yeah, he knew she was awake. He could tell the second he walked in. What with her robe thrown on the floor, her breath quick and heavy, and the way he could tell she was about to laugh, anyone with half a brain would know she was faking.

In a swift move, he was on the bed his fingers tickling her sides.

"Stop!" she screeched, in between laughs.

"Not until you tell me why you were snooping." He smiled, as he tickled her.

"OK! As long as you let me go!!" she laughed.

He stopped tickling her and waited as she clamed down. "Now, why were you snooping?"

She looked down. "I wanted to know who you were talking to."

"'Mione..." he placed his finger under her chin and raised it so she was looking at him. "Don't feel bad, I understand." She nodded, slightly. "Now, you get dressed and come downstairs. Me and a friend of mine have something we want you to help with." He winked, got up and left the room.

She shook her head, and did what he told her to do.

Hermione walked into the living room, to the sound of laughs.

"Hey 'Mione." Draco and Ron said. They were playing with the T.V. that Hermione bought the day before, while Deena watched her father. Neither of them knew how to use it, they were just pressing random buttons on the remote.

Hermione stood with a puzzled look, and then walked over to the two and snatched the remote. "You guys are hopeless." She shook her head and switched off the T.V.

"How did you do that?" Ron asked, face full of amazement.

"I pressed the off button." She stated. The two boys looked amazed.

"Muggles have the coolest inventions." Ron said.

"Whatever, so what are you doing here?" Hermione plopped herself on the couch and moved Deena's chair, that was currently facing the T.V., towards her. She picked up the baby and placed her in her lap. Hermione played with Deena's arms and feet as the baby giggled.

"Well I came to ask you two to help me with something, my Mum and Ginny are already in on it. Draco is now too."

"Ok cut to the chase, Ron." She said in a bored voice.

"We are throwing Harry a surprise 18th birthday party and we want you in on it."

Hermione's face broke into a smile. "Tell me what to do."

The two men began talking a mile a minute, telling her everything to do.

"Come on, Harry we haven't gone out together since Deena was born." Hermione said, dragging Harry off of the couch at the Burrow, where he was reading the Daily Prophet.

"Can it at least wait until like 10? Its only 8:30." Harry stood and folded the paper.

"Nope. Now go and get dressed. We have to be out of here by 9." She ordered. He begrudgingly followed her orders.

The two were out of the house by 9. Hermione brought Harry to Diagon Alley where she needed to do some shopping. She took him to Flourish and Blotts, for several hours, and then to Muggle London, where Hermione shopped for new clothes. The point of the day was the bore him to the point of pulling his hair out. She also had to make sure there were no mentions as to his birthday. Hermione was glad to see that the plan was going accordingly.

Around 7 pm, the pair finally headed home. Harry, being the gentleman he is, was carrying all 30 of Hermione's bags. He was shocked that a girl that likes to read a lot could shop like she did.

"Here, Harry, do you want me to help?" Hermione asked, taking pity on him.

"Yes." He said, as he was falling over the bags.

Hermione took two bags, both tiny, and lead the way up to the house.

"Thanks." Harry muttered, readjusted the bags, and followed Hermione.

Hermione disappeared into the house, only to let Harry struggle with opening the door while balancing 28 bags. Harry walked in, after much struggle, and dropped the bags on the kitchen table.

"'Mione? Where did you go?" Harry walked to the doors of to enter the backyard.

When he did he was welcomed with a really large "SURPRISE!!!"

Ok was that longer??? I hope so. I am so sick of writing short chapters, but oh well. I will be back with another either later today or tomorrow. My senior Banquet is tonight and I still haven't shaved, or taken a shower. Man I gotta move my butt.
