Finally Potter
Chapter thirty one
November had shown itself and Ginny's stomach was a jumbled mess. She was getting married on Tuesday and now that it was the Friday her nerves had completely taken over her. She was excited but at the same time felt like she was going to throw up any second.
A knock on the door sounded throughout the flat and Ginny on shaking legs moved to answer it. She smiled kindly when she saw Hermione standing there with April. She allowed the two girls in and then dropped onto her sofa.
"Okay what's up with you?"
Ginny smiled at April and shrugged but Hermione seemed to know what was on her mind.
"You're scared aren't you!"
Ginny licked her lips looking into the fireplace and nodded slowly.
"I'm in love with Harry and I want to marry him but my stomach is so tight. I'm really nervous and –"
"It's so normal. Remember the night before my wedding I locked myself in the bathroom and Harry had to come and convince me to get out."
Ginny laughed as the memory of the night before Hermione and Ron's wedding. Hermione had locked herself in the bathroom and nothing she or April could say could convince her to get out of there, and they had tried everything. In the end Harry had been brought over from Neville's and had convinced her to leave the bathroom.
"Yeah that was a good night."
April and Hermione laughed and Ginny felt slightly better.
"Yeah and what about with me. I spent three days having my brother following me around telling me that it was what I wanted, then the morning of the wedding -"
"You climbed out of the window and tried to run away."
Hermione finished April's sentence and they laughed again. April had been so afraid of marriage that she had climbed out of the bathroom window in Hermione's house and ran half a mile before her brother had caught up with her and dragged her back to the house.
"You know what that makes me feel better."
Hermione smiled.
"Good so you ready for your hen night then?"
Ginny grinned as she stood up and the three friends left Ginny's flat to go out.
Ginny downed the shot that had been given to her and picked up her Malibu and coke. The music was pumping and Ginny just wanted to get out there and dance. They had headed into muggle London and Ginny was having a great time.
Ginny pushed her way through the crowd and found Hermione and Penelope sat at a table with non alcoholic drinks in front of them. Ginny had forgotten that Penelope was still breast feeding River and so couldn't have alcohol and as for Hermione well it would be a while before she had anything alcoholic.
Ginny waved at them as she headed onto the dance floor. Tonks was holding hands with Paula and the pair were dancing like maniacs. Next to them were Chloe and April dancing at a much slower pace but seemingly enjoying themselves just as much.
Ginny laughed though when she caught sight of Heather and Opal. They were jumping up and down and screaming something as loud as they could. It was clear that they were all drunk and each having the time of their lives.
Ginny moved next to her friends and started to jump around just like the rest of them. Around them muggles were laughing and dancing and flashes from cameras kept going off. Ginny spun around and bumped into somebody. She waved at them as she took another mouthful of drink.
The song ended and the DJ's voice rang through the club.
"And tonight we have a hen party in here. Congratulations to a Miss Ginny Weasley who is getting married on Tuesday."
Around her the girls screamed and cheered and people started to look as they did a silly dance around her. Laughing she stumbled over to the table that Hermione and Penelope were on and dropped into a seat.
"Thanks for this girls, its brilliant."
"You deserve it Ginny."
She hugged Penelope as Heather brought another round of shots to the table. Ginny picked up the glass and downed it in one slamming it back on the table. She laughed as Opal climbed up onto the table and started dancing her arms flying up over her head.
A security guard came over to try and get her off the table and Heather slid up to him and rubbed herself against his body dancing a sexy dance. Ginny snorted and her drink squirted from her nose but she didn't care.
Tonks had come off the dance floor and was looking at the group.
"Why you sitting, dance!"
Tonks took Ginny's hand and led her back to the floor. They laughed as around them guys moved in to dance with them. Ginny rubbed up close to one of them as Tonks was spun by another. Ginny was really enjoying herself and it seemed too soon when the DJ announced that they were closing.
As they left the club Ginny took hold of Opal's hand and they started swinging their arms back and fore. They laughed happily as they started singing Quidditch songs and Ginny felt Tonks' arms rest around her shoulder as she grabbed her on the other side.
"Okay girls I think we should get in a taxi."
"What's a taxi?"
Hermione had taken hold of April's hand and was leading her to a taxi bay. She stopped in front of two large black cars and Hermione seemed to share a look with Penelope.
"There's too many of us. Okay so what we'll do is this, April you get in here with Chloe, Paula and Penelope, and then you four drunks get in that one behind. Go on."
Ginny smiled as the man opened the door and she looked up at him squinting.
"You're cute; if I wasn't getting married I'd have you."
The man nodded looking a little scared but Ginny pushed Heather into the taxi and climbed in herself. She sat down with Opal the other side of her and then Tonks climbed in and lastly Hermione. Her sister in law took control of the situation and told the driver something and they pulled off.
Within minutes Ginny noted that Tonks had turned green in the face.
"I think I'm going to be sick."
Hermione had moved closer to the woman and clamped her hand over her mouth looking at the other three. Five minutes later they had pulled up outside a building and Tonks fell out of the taxi and was sick on the pavement.
Ginny laughed as Opal climbed out after Tonks and then they were all on the pavement. The taxis had driven away and Hermione had her wand out. Ginny looked up at the building and realised that they were at her place and she began to climb the stairs to her flat.
As Penelope opened the door they all fell into the room and Ginny climbed onto the chair by the fire looking around. Tonks had run straight into her bathroom and Opal and Heather fell onto her sofa.
Hermione and Penelope had headed into the kitchen and Ginny smiled as Chloe and Paula fell onto the floor. After a few minutes a small snore sounded through the room and Ginny looked down at Chloe who was fast asleep with her head on Paula's shoulder. Paula too was asleep and Ginny could see her drooling.
Hermione handed her a cup and she happily took it, looking around Heather and Opal too had fallen asleep on her sofa and Ginny grinned at Hermione.
"Seems like everyone's staying over."
She didn't remember anything else as her eyes closed and sleep washed over her.
