Sounds of festive laughter could be heard from outside of the portrait of the fat lady, who was complaining about the racket going on, and when it swung open, the noise floated down the hallway. When Harry, Hermione and Ron walked into the common room, everyone turned and watched as Ginny ran up to them and placed a crown made out of flowers on both Harry and Hermione's heads.
"What are these for?" Harry asked, gently touching his crown.
"Crowns for the two of you to wear at the party." Ginny answered, blushing bright red.
"Oh well thanks." Hermione said with a smile.
"Hey if you guys have kids, can you name one after me?" Colin Creevy asked as he took pictures of Harry and Hermione.
"I'm afraid you'll have to wait awhile Colin, because Harry and I arn't planning to have children, at least not until we have been out of school a while." Hermione said with a grin.
"Well that's okay, I can wait." Colin replied, taking one more picture before moving over to the table full of food.
Harry and Hermione walked over to the couch, which was surprisingly empty, and sat down. The noise was so loud in the room that you could hardly hear people talking to one another.
"So how is your birthday going so far?" Harry asked silently.
"Welllet's put it this way, when you boyfriend asks you to marry in front of the entire school at breakfast, it's hard to find fault with anything, especially the noise in here." Hermione thought in reply, rubbing Harry's thigh.
"Let's say we make it even better by having your bestfriend and fiancee accompany you down to Three Broomsticks for a drink." Harry suggested with a silent laugh.
"That would be a perfect way to spend the day." Hermione answered.
"Alright then, let's get Ron and head down." Harry said standing up.
"Alright." Hermione replied.
