AN: Wow. That's all I can say! Wow, just...wow! Receiving all those reviews (21 the first time I checked my email) was amazing. You guys made me so excited I've decided to post another chapter sooner than I was going to (I was going to be dreadfully mean and wait a week or so!) YES! Ok, now moving on to I hope a chapter worthy to boost my reviews to 200! Let's see if we can do it!

Disclaimer: Hey foo, don't sue! (lol, not mine, just the plot!)

The whole room was silent for about 2 seconds after Sandra made her announcement. Then, in short, all heck broke loose.

"Mama! Uncle Ron isn't a dolt! He's having a baby!" Genevieve shouted, climbing ungracefully onto the table, followed by her little brother and cousin.

"Sandra! You...I...WE'RE HAVING A BABY!" Ron shouted, lifting Sandra into his arms and hugging her tightly, almost dropping her with a ghastly look on his face.

"Ron, dear, I've got plenty of padding to keep our little girl safe," Sandra said, patting her little tummy gently.

"That's wonderful, love!" Ron said, once again pulling her into a bone-crunching hug. No one seemed to notice the three children, who busy stomping in cake and ice cream, throwing it on the ceiling and on the walls.

"OH MY GOODNESS!" Mrs. Weasley squealed, throwing her arms around their necks, pulling them into an odd head-lock looking thing. "I just knew it'd be soon! Oh you two are going to have the most precious babies of them all!" She said, prying the two apart to give them separate hugs.

"Mum, you're going to rip off my head," Ron said, his voice muffled by his mother's shoulder.

"Oh Ronnykins, my ickly widdle boy! You're growing all up and having a BABY!"

"Mum!" Ron said, pushing his mom away and immediately glued himself to Sandra, securing himself with a firm arm around her shoulders.

"RON!" Ginny said, tackling him down again on the ground, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Gin, please!" Ron said, pushing her off and standing up, his face more red than ever.

"Fine, fine. Sandra, I'm so incredibly happy for you!" Ginny said, gently hugging Sandra and looking back at Ron. Smirking, she stood on her tiptoes and ruffled his red hair, then ducked behind Mr. Weasley, who had come to greet the group. ................................................................................................................................................

"Bye Fred and Georgia," Hermione said to the disappearing heads in the fire place.

"Oh, Hermione, don't eat any of the candy Fred left behind!" Georgia's disappearing head said, followed by a scowl from Fred.

"That was wonderful, even though there's hand prints of chocolate cake and ice cream all over your walls and floors. I'd be happy to help you clean it up," Sandra offered, plopping on the couch, clearly exhausted.

"Nothing a little magic can't do," Hermione said, pulling out her wand, and with one swipe, the whole apartment was left sparkling.

"You were always amazing in every aspect of being a Witch," Harry said, sitting in the love seat, quickly accompanied by Ginny.

"Oh yes, erm, I think I need tell you guys something about dinner on Wednesday," Hermione said, biting her lip as she sat down next to Sandra, Ron already seated on her other side.

"Oh no, Moine, you can't go? That would be the second time this year!" Harry said, huffing in an exaggerated way and slapping his forehead with his hand.

"No, no, no. See, I was asked on a date..."

"OOOOO! Hermione! Who's the lucky man?" Ron said, getting a face full of pillow thrown by Hermione, but narrowly missing Sandra.

"Ron, just stay seated while I explain, and NO interruptions!" Hermione said, staring pointedly at Ron. Ron nodded and waved his hand, giving her permission to continue. "So, I was asked out on a date on Wednesday by this guy from work, right? Yea, so I told him I have to go out to dinner with you guys to keep in touch and things, so I offered for us each to get a date and go on a triple date thing. Would that be ok?" Hermione asked sheepishly, her face unsure as she looked from Harry to Ron.

"Sure, I don't have any problems with that, as long as Gin is available," Harry said, taking Ginny's hand and giving it a gentle squeeze, causing her to blush furiously and nod.

"Yeah, I don't see why not! So, who is this guy?" Ron said, kicking up his feet on the coffee table and putting his arms behind his head.

"Uh, Dracomalfoyistheguy," Hermione's words raced out.

"Bless you?" Ron said, sitting up, a slightly worried look on display.

"Draco Malfoy is the guy. There, I said it," Hermione whispered.

"DRACO MALFOY?! Are you INSANE?!" Ron said, shooting up from the couch and throwing his arms up in dismay.

"Ron, he's really not that bad," Ginny said, standing up to Hermione's defense.

"Yeah, Ron, I talked to him a bit when the eligible bachelors were alone together. He's changed. He may still be a little egotistical, but nothing a few years with us can't change. Come on, give him a second chance," Harry said, his green eyes soft. Ron turned hurriedly to Hermione, who gave him a pleading look.

"Fine! But just because he's coming doesn't mean I have to enjoy myself! I still get to pick the restaurant!" Ron said, standing up abruptly. "Now, I need to use the loo!" He said, storming off to Hermione's bathroom.

"He's a big baby," Ginny whispered, realizing that somehow in the midst of everything, Sandra had fallen asleep.

"I guess it was the excitement of the dinner and telling everyone. No need to move her, I'll just levitate her to the guest room," Hermione said, pulling out her wand and put a gentle binding spell, then levitated her off the couch, Sandra's gentle snoring echoing off the marble floor and down the hall.

"I'm sure you can stay here too, Harry," Ginny said, keeping her brown eyes on her feet.

"I don't know if Hermione would approve, seeing that we're, you know, dating and all now," Harry said, fiddling with his wand.

"Oh for goodness sakes! Where did Sandra go?" Ron said, slapping his hands tiredly on his thighs and huffing out an exasperated breath of air.

"Sleeping," Harry and Ginny said in unison, pointing down the hall from where Hermione was walking from.

"What did I do?" Hermione asked, putting her hands up as if someone was aiming a wand at her and stopping in her tracks at the look Ron gave her.

"Well I guess we're spending the night! Goodnight all!" He said, storming down the hallway to the guestroom.

"Hermione, what would you say about Harry spending the night here?" Ginny asked, standing up to confront the now red-faced Hermione.

"I-uh, I don't think it's a good idea, seeing as to it that you two aren't exactly married, and you're dating seriously..." Hermione started.

"Hermione, you can trust me! We'll be in two different rooms, and I won't cross over to hers, I promise," Harry said, walking over to Hermione and taking her hand gently. Hermione looked into her best friend's sparkling green eyes.

"Harry, you know that that look makes me give in every time!" Hermione whined, trying to take her hand out of Harry's, but he wouldn't budge. "Fine! Ginny, you stay in your room and Harry, you're in mine. Don't you even think about crossing the hallway. I'll let you know how many alarms I know from being Head Girl, and believe me, I'm not afraid to use them," Hermione said, sticking her finger at each of them.

"Yes ma'am!" Harry said, giving her a salute as he dropped her hand.

"Oh please," Hermione said, rolling her eyes and gently slapping him on the arm. "But don't go in there yet. I have to make sure everything's clean and write a quick note to Draco. In that amount of time I expect you two to say goodnight." Hermione said, turning away quickly as Harry took the few steps between himself and Ginny and closed all space between them.

"Young love," Hermione sighed, leaning on her closed door briefly, waving her wand to quickly switch from her dinner clothes to her pj's. Spotting a pad of Muggle paper on her bedstand, she quickly grabbed a quill and set off to a letter written in loopy cursive.

Draco-
I guess I should first say I acted childish at the park yesterday, but I truly believe you deserved it. As for the date on Wednesday, Ron had a little fit, but as long as he gets to choose the restaurant still, he's fine. I'll talk to you more about it if you reply, because I have the night shift tomorrow. Bye.
-Hermione

"Ashes, where are you?" Hermione called, the dark bird hidden in the shadows where her candlelight only danced across, flirting with the shadows of the night. A puffy little black ball flew to Hermione's side immediately, sticking its foot out to have the paper tied to it. "Take this to Draco Malfoy, and unless he asks you to stay so he can write a reply, come home. You'll have to fly in here and stay in here with Harry since I'll be guarding the hallway all night. Fly little owl," Hermione whispered endearingly to her little owl, then opened the window and watched Ashes disappear into the darkness of the night. Sighing, she went to the door and closed her eyes, shouting uncomprehendable words to announce her presence.

"Uh, sorry Mione," Harry said sheepishly, prying his lips from Ginny's as they stepped together down the hallway.

"Goodnight Harry," Ginny said as Harry pulled her into a hug, kissing her fiercely on the lips.

"AHEM! Move it!" Hermione said with false irritation, pulling Harry by the ear into her room as Ginny blew him a kiss.

"Night Gi—"Harry started to say, but was cut off by a thick, wooden door slammed in his face.

"Oh Hermione, I know it's only been a little while since we've been an official couple, but I think I love him!" Ginny whispered excitedly as Hermione composed a fluffy golden interior, ruby exterior sleeping bag. "What are you doing, Hermione?" Ginny asked curiously, kicking the corner of the sleeping bag with her toe.

"Making my bed. Harry said he wouldn't go across, but you never said you would, nor will you because I know you're going to make an attempt. But no, no, no! Ron is here as well, and think of the responsibilities I hold with a couple that's not married sleeping together in the same house!" Hermione said, making a fluffy feather pillow appear as she entered the hall bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, Ginny following behind her.

"Hermione, we wouldn't do anything ever, not until we're married, especially in your bed!" Ginny said defensively, grasping her lime green toothbrush with toothpaste, brushing her teeth with vigor.

Hermione commented on this, but was clearly incapable of being understood, her mouth full of toothbrush and toothpaste. "That's good to know, but I can never be too sure," Hermione said after she spit out her toothpaste infested saliva.

"Yea, I suppose," Ginny said, splashing warm water into her face and scrubbing it clean, Hermione following suit.

"You know I only want the best for you, Gin, and I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud type of friend," Hermione said after drying off her face, leaning against the bathroom wall.

"Of course I know, Hermione! Who else could keep...I lost my train of thought, I'm so sorry. I think I'm really tired," Ginny said, the look on her face odd and contorted as she scratched her head. "I really don't know what I was even talking about..." She said, trudging into her room in a confused manor and shutting the door quietly.

"Odd..."Hermione though, following suit to the hall, and laying down comfortably in her fluffy sleeping bag. "I always was good at making these," Hermione said, recalling the times she had made them for Ginny as she slept on the floor of Hermione's Head Girl room. She sat there for a while (32 minutes to be exact), recalling all the good times from Hogwarts.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Hermione rolled her head, looking at Harry's door with sudden interest. "Ashes?" She whispered curiously, standing up after just getting comfortable and opening the door a crack to find Ashes darting out from Harry's room, his snoring chasing after it. "Calm down, little one," Hermione said, taking the little roll of parchment and letting her Australian Sooty Owl fly to its perch in the kitchen.

Hermione,
Yes, that's perfect. I'll be coming to your house in about 15 seconds since you opened this letter. Be prepared for me, I'll be near your fireplace. I have some explaining to do.
Draco

Hermione gasped and looked up, her brown curls disheveled around her shoulders when she heard a pop, no louder than a snap.

"Draco!" She squealed, quickly clamping her hands over her mouth and looking wildly around her to make sure no one was going to burst out their doors in just knickers or...well, what Ginny slept in. She paid particular attention to the Guest Room, hoping Ron wouldn't come out with a lead pipe, ready to bash Draco Malfoy's head in.

"Yes, Miss Granger, it is I, Draco," He said, instantly making himself comfortable. Hermione's jaw dropped as she stood, snapping her hand into making a robe appear on her limp shoulders.

"Y-you are here. Late at night. And I am in my nightclothes. Mr. Malfoy, you know how inappropriate this is, don't you?" Hermione said, approaching the Lazee-Wizard chair she held in such high regards, shooing Crookshanks off, who glared and hissed angrily at Draco.

"Yes, I know. I wanted to properly apologize. I was on a date with my boss's daughter, Haley, and I was angry at the fact that he blamed everything on me, when it truly was Haley's fault. I shouldn't have been mad at you. I am truly sorry," He quickly concluded, standing up and making sure his robes were in place.

"Uh...?"

"Right, I must be going now before people get worried. I may not live with anyone, but the house elves, particularly Butterdrop, get very offended if I'm gone too long and they don't know about it. Good night, Hermione," Draco said, taking her hand and kissing it gently, sending shivers of warmth up her arm. And as quickly as he came, he was gone.

"Uh." Hermione said finally, her arms collapsed at her side. She shook her head gently and rubbed her temples, walking with heavy footsteps to her sleeping bag. "I just hope the next two days go by quickly so I don't have to experience any more of these brain farts. I can't believe I froze up like that," Hermione said to herself, climbing in bed, and with one sigh, she was asleep.

haha, how'd y'all like that? About how Ginny randomly forgot what was going on--that was actually me. I saved it right then and then pulled it up again like two days later to finish and I couldn't remember where I was going with it. So, here's the thanks in this chapter
