Well…their isn't really much to say….what are you waiting for! READ!

"Come on." Akane pulled Hermione into the building. No sooner then they found a table to sit at, then a man approached Akane and asked her to dance. She smiled and asked the man to wait a second. "Loosen up, girl, no one knows who you are, and any of these guys could be anyone in the world. Just pretend they are whoever you want." Akane whispered to Hermione before turned and heading on to the dance floor with the guy who asked him to dance.

Hermione smiled as she watched her best friend and the mysterious blond boy dance. 'Anyone I want,' she thought, 'Now I just have to wait for a red-head.'

"Well he seems to be having a good time." A 21 year old with Jet-black hair, dressed in blue jeans and a emerald green shirt and mask, looked onto his blonde haired friend, who was wearing entirely silver.

"Yeah," A red-headed boy sitting next to him, clad entirely in dark blue, leaned against the bar, clearly ignoring the scene around him.

"Oh come on, why the long face? Look, I know you miss her, but its been five years. She would want you to be happy. You won't find her any quicker by moping." The black-haired boy dropped her voice to a whisper, "Show these muggles what it means to dance. Look, that girl in the blue looks like she could use some cheering up. All else fails, just pretend its her." The guy with red-hair sat upright and looked His friend in the eye.

"You're right, moping won't bring her closer to me. I should enjoy myself. Look out, girl in blue, I'm going to teach you to dance."

"Excuse me?" Hermione looked up from the her drink to see a man in dark blue standing before her. Her eyes lingered on his fiery red hair before they settled on his face. "May I have this dance?"

"Sure," Hermione rose, an odd feeling in the pit of her stomach told her to get up a dance. She couldn't quite explain it. The man took her head and led her to the middle of the dance floor. Slow ly but surely, Hermione loosed up to the man, and before she knew it, she was dancing expertly. She moved perfectly in time with the man and everything felt perfect. Much sooner then she would've liked, the song ended and was replaced with a much slower song. The man slipped his arms around Hermione's waist and pulled her close to him to dance. Hermione draped her arms softly around his shoulders. She hadn't felt this free since, She didn't know when. 'That's a lie,' she thought to herself, 'you haven't felt this good since Ron. You just don't want to admit it.' Tears began to form in her eyes and she stepped away. Before she could stop it, a single tear fell from her eye.

"Is something wrong?" The man looked up, Hermione glanced into the crystal blue eyes behind the dark blue mask.

"No, well yes, but its nothing you can do. I lost someone years ago, and…" Hermione shook her head, tears now flowing down her face, "I'm sorry," she turned to run away but the man grabbed her arm and held tight.

"Hermione?" Hermione whipped her head around, shocked to hear her name. The man that held her arm held his mask in his other hand. Hermione gasped.

"Ron!" She yelled and threw her arms tightly around His neck. Her feet lifting of the ground as he grabbed her waist and lifted her to his eye-level. "Is it really you?" she whispered.

"He's gone, you can come back." Ron whispered back. Hermione's face broke into a huge smile and she leaned forward, interlocking her lips with his.

Harry came running when he heard Ron's name yelled, slightly scared. When he found him in the center of the dance floor, he smiled. "Aren't you glad I made you dance?" Harry laughed.

"Harry!" Hermione jumped from Ron's arms and Hugged Harry tightly.

" 'Mione, air." Harry gasped. Hermione took a step back and noticed something different about the way Harry held himself. Given him a once over she noticed what was wrong.

"Harry! You're arm. It's…gone!" Hermione stared intently on the place where his left arm should've been.

"Really? I didn't notice." Harry joked, "We'll explain it all later. There is so much you need to learn. Starting with, our new friend," Harry took his arm and turned Hermione around to face the blonde hair boy who had been dancing with Akane. "Hermione, I believe you know our friend Draco." Hermione's eyes grew wide as she looked into Draco's silver eyes and saw something that had never been there before, respect.

"Hello, Hermione." Draco extended his hand toward her. Hermione reached out and shook his hand.

"What, who, how?" was all that Hermione could manage to say.

"Hermione, you know all these people?" Akane walked from behind Draco, "Why didn't you tell me you knew a really hott dancer!" Akane whispered glancing at Draco.

"I didn't know I knew them. I haven't seen any of them for 5 years. They changed." Hermione laughed putting her hand to her forehead. "To much info to download." She smiled. "Do you guys want to head back to my house so we can talk properly?"

"Sure, just let us run to the hotel first to get some stuff. Just give us the address so we can 'pop' over." Ron spoke up. Hermione smiled and wrote the address down on a napkin and gave it to Ron. Slowly they fought their way through the crowd towards the door, when they got to the street, they headed their own ways. When they had gotten several feet apart, Ron turned around. "Hermione?"

Hermione turned back to face Ron. "Yes?"

"Happy Birthday."

"Thanks. I got the best gift of all."

When Hermione and Akane reached Hermione's house, they found five people waiting outside for them. When Hermione realized that the fourth adult had long flaming red hair and brown eyes to rival her own, Hermione immediately pulled her into a huge hug.

"Ginny! My only female friend at Hogwarts!" She smiled, "and who is this?" Hermione kneeled down to the child clinging to Ginny's leg. Hermione didn't even need the explanation that Ginny gave her once she saw the child's face.

"This is our son, Harry's and mine I mean, Alexander James Potter, Alex for short. He shares a birthday with his Aunt 'Mione. He's a big 2 years old today." The young boy smiled up at Hermione. His hair was as messed up as Harry's was, but it was a vivid red. His green eyes, identical to his fathers, pierced into Hermione's heart and she fell in love with him instantly. Scooping the boy up into her arms, she smiled and wished him a happy birthday, and carried him to the door. Pushing the door with her hip, she walked into the house, to find it decorated, with presents lying around the fireplace. When everyone had gotten inside, Ginny smiled, pulling her wand from behind her back.

"My Charms do wonders." She laughed, taking Alex away from Hermione so she could kneel down by the gifts.

"We knew we might find you when we came to America, and that we had 5 birthdays to catch up on, so we came prepared." Ron sat down next to her. Hermione Smiled even wider and leaned over, snogging Ron senseless.

Almost out of instinct, Harry, Ginny, and Draco groaned, turning away from the couple. "Whoa, whoa! What is going on here! Hermione, you just can't throw yourself at guys like this! I mean, what happened to 'I don't believe in dating'" Akane Jumped at the couple, "And how did this all get done! How did you all get into her house? I'm so confused!" Akane put her hands on her head to emphasize her point.

"You don't believe in dating!" Ron laughed, "And you didn't tell her what you were?"

"Of course not, Dumbledore said to live as a muggle, I have no idea about 'the other side.'"

"Oh, That reminds me, Hogwarts decided to give you a full diploma anyway. They decided that you know more then anyone else at the school anyway."

"Great! That hard work wasn't for nothing! You know how many nights I spent in the library trying to get ahead. I never did master disapparate theory though." At that point Akane sighed and sunk onto the couch.

"I am so confuzzled."

Hermione laughed. "I guess I owe some explanations, and introductions now that I think of it."

"Hell yeah." Akane looked up.

"Okay, well this is Harry, my best friend and the defeater of the dark lord, Ron, by other best friend turned boy friend, Ginny, My best girl-friend, Her and Harry's son, Alex, and as far I as know, our enemy Draco."

"Enemy turned friend." Draco smiled.

"Really sexy enemy turned Friend" Akane added.

"Damn right, sexy" Draco smirked.

"You haven't changed much at all." Hermione sighed

"Yeah except I don't think Voldemort is all powerful and I understand that muggle-borns are good too."

"Okay, what the hell is a muggle?" Akane cut into their conversation.

"Akane," Hermione looked her American best friend in the eye, "Ginny and I are witches, and Harry, Ron and Draco are wizards." '

Akane stared at them for a few minutes before she started laughing. "Witch? That's rich Hermione. Do you honestly expect me to believe that?"

Ginny held her wand out and Hermione took it by the end. "Wingardium Leviosa!" Akane screamed slightly as the Couch she was sitting on floated up about a foot before falling back to the ground. "I need some practice" Hermione sighed as she looked at the couch she couldn't lift.

"You are a witch!" Akane's eyes grew wide, "So you're whole worship the devil, eat children alive, work with vampires kind of thing."

"Oh no, not at all. Magic is just a kind of trait, we are normal humans other then the fact we have magic powers."

"Sweet! Can I be a witch too?" Akane asked quickly

"Nope, it's a born talent sorry. Those born without it, like you, are called muggles."

"Muggles can still date wizards right?" Akane cast a glance back towards Draco.

"If they want, but I wouldn't suggest dating him, he's the all time player." Harry laughed.

"I don't mind... I can keep him satisfied" Akane turned to Draco and winked.

"Akane!" Hermione yelled, while everyone else laughed.

"Okay, I'll shut up now." Akane smiled, "Open your presents birthday girl!"

Hermione turned back to the fireplace where several packages were laying. With the blink of an eye Hermione was at them, tearing at the packaging like a little kid on Christmas.

Several hours, and many thank you later, Hermione was perched on her lazy-boy, her face buried in a book titled, Hogwarts a History: Next edition.

"I can't believe they put us in here! And look they talk about the house-elves too!" Hermione glanced up from the book, "Thanks again guys, for everything. This is the best birthday ever."

"Well, Mione, If you don't mind, I guess I should be heading home. It's terribly late and I wasn't home for mom's "Goodnight" call so she's probably worried sick. Night all." Akane waved good-bye to all collected and headed out the door.

"Well I suppose we should be on our way too." Harry stood and began to scoop up Alex, who had fallen asleep on the couch.

"Nonsense!" Hermione exclaimed hopping to her feet, "I have enough room her for all. Ginny and Harry can share my bed, Ron and Draco can take the guest rooms, and I will stay down here. Alex can fit in somewhere. I insist you stay."

"Oh, we couldn't possibly take your room," Ginny began

"No, you can, you should all stay here."

"Well, I will not condemn you to the couch," Draco stood up, "I'll sleep down here and you take a guest room." Hermione, who wasn't used to such civility from Draco, agreed before she realized what he had said. Either way, she stood up and quickly began cleaning things up running up and down stairs to make beds and such.

"Hermione?" Ron called as she started up the stairs for the third time. Hermione stopped and turned to face him. "Would this help?" With one smooth motion, Ron tossed Hermione's wand into the air and it landed perfectly on Hermione's palm.

"Thanks" Hermione's face broke into a huge smile, and she continued up the stairs.
