This had to be the worst time in Hermione's life. Yes, Harry and Ron were always there on a moments notice to baby-sit Cassie, and yes they were willing to let her live in there home whenever she got kicked out of a different apartment. But the moving wasn't good for Cassie, as she was growing up, and if she grew up moving around constantly, that would reflect in her later life.
Cassie birthday was coming up and thank God they had finally left Hogwarts. She wasn't sure if she could take much more of Malfoy's taunting. Not that he could say much as a certain girl he was dating got pregnant not long after Cassie was born.
Harry, Ron and a few old Gryffindor friends were coming to the birthday party. It was a rather small, but Cassie didn't have many people who supported her and her mother. Only the people who were coming to the party in fact supported them, giving money here, lending a hand there. It was Harry and Ron who supported her the most however, and both of them for different reasons. (A/N: If you want me to say who the dad is, tell me in your review and I'll wrap the story up.)
Cassie was spoiled beyond belief at her little party. Ron and his parents bought her some clothes (including chuddley cannon pj's), Harry bought her fairy tale books and a little broom that hovered not even a foot off the ground, Dumbledore bought something that looked like a sneakascope except it played lullaby music if it sensed a tired person, Seamus, Dean and Neville bought her a blanket that would grow with her and show her mood by colour if she touched it and McGonagall bought Cassie a toy that changed shape into different animals if you pressed certain places. Yes, the little girl was spoiled and by the end of everything, she was tried. So Hermione took her to bed with her new blanket and lullaby toy.
When she returned only Harry was left, as it was his house she was living in at the time, and she sat down on the couch.
'Where did everyone go?'
'They went home because they don't want to wake Cassie up.'
Hermione nodded as Harry sat down beside her. She felt his presents and wished Cassie could have the same thing, a male figure to lean upon. But she wondered if the father would except…
'I wish…' she muttered, then stopped.
'Wish what?'
Hermione shook her head.
'Nothing', she muttered. 'Goodnight.'
