Effects of Firewhiskey: Chapter 2

-Preparing for the Inevitable-

A month later, they got together again in Malfoy Manor. Only this time, they aren't going to drink since it will be bad for the ladies. They drank tea instead.

"I can't believe it." Ron said. "Just in eight more months, I'm a father."

Luna sipped her tea. "That's the effect of the Firewhiskey."

"We weren't able to prepare since you guys were so drunk that you keep pulling us toward your beds." Ginny said. "This is the inevitable. So," She looked at Harry and the other boys. "When's the wedding?"

Harry answered, "Well, we guys agreed to have a triple wedding. Were gonna split the expenses 30-30-30. The 10 falls under you three. How does that sound?"

Hermione smiled. "Nice enough. We girls are gonna pay for our gowns and you guys pay for the rest."

Draco smiled at Hermione. "Buy a green gown, darling."

Luna said, "We're all getting white gowns. It's a tradition."

"When will the wedding be?" Ginny asked. "Before or after they are born?"

"Which do you mothers prefer?" Ron asked. "I mean, we're ready to get married anytime you want to."

"How about after the kids are born?" Draco suggested. "It won't be fun if we'd have our honeymoons with our bloated wives." Harry and Ron agreed. "How about that?" Draco asked.

Hermione and the girls huddled and faced their future husbands. "Okay." Hermione said.

"Now that's settled. Where will we hold the reception?" Ron asked, "We cant hold it in the Burrow. The place is too small."

"Malfoy Manor would do." Hermione answered. "It's big enough for a lot of guests. We can also spend the honeymoon here since this place has a lot of rooms."

Harry nodded. "You up for it, Draco?"

Draco answered, "Of course but who'll take care of the babies while we are in the wedding?"

"My mum would do it." Ron answered.

"Glad that's cleared." Harry replied. "Now who do we invite?"

"Most of my relatives and friends are in Azkaban so I have no one to invite." Draco answered. "How about you, Hermione?"

Hermione thought about it. "Well, there's my Mum and Dad, my aunts and uncles, my cousins and my grandparents. That's about uh… 30 people."

Ron now answered, "I'll only invite my family. That's a bunch already. My Mum and Dad, Charlie, Bill, Fleur, Fred, Angelina, George, and Katie are invited."

"Did Angelina and Katie finally figure out which twin they actually married?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah. They sorta exchanged husbands but they said they're okay with it." Ginny answered. "And I have the same list of invites as Ron."

Harry said, "I'll just invite Dumbledore, Sirius, Hagrid, Remus, and Tonks. We should also invite our professors."

Luna nodded. "I'll only invite my Mom and Dad. Also, some of my friends from Hogwarts."

"Yeah. We mustn't forget them." Hermione said. "We already have Colin as the wedding photographer."

Ginny asked, "Who will be the bridesmaids and the best men?"

Ron answered, "Since we are getting married at the same day, we can't be each other's best men, same case with the girls."

Luna said, "Cho's gonna be my bridesmaid."

Ginny remarked, "That's a brilliant idea. I want Fleur to be my bridesmaid."

Hermione had a hard time thinking of a bridesmaid. "Lavender Brown will be my bridesmaid."

"Now that's settled. How about the best men?" Luna asked.

Ron answered, "Harry's my first choice but since he's not available I'd pick my brother Bill." He was really close to Bill when they were kids.

Harry answered, "Neville for me. He's a very nice person and I'm sure he'd take on that offer."

Draco replied, "Crabbe, Zabini, and Goyle are all in Azkaban so I guess it's Krum since he's Hermione's friend."

"Can Lupin's children be our ring bearers?" Harry asked. "And we also need the people whose gonna put the veil, turn on the candles, and such."

"The rest of our batch mates would do it." Draco answered.

"It's settled then." Hermione said. "I got this crazy idea. Why don't all of us live under one roof? So that in case anyone gets a contraction after eight months, all three of you could take care of it, to reduce panic."

"You did it again, Hermie. That's a brilliant plan." Ginny said. "I hope Draco doesn't mind."

Draco nodded. "This house needs to have some noise once in a while."

"Yay!" They all said.
