"Wow, I wish I had parents that got me gifts like those!" a woman's voice said in the crowd. Hermione looked around and BAM there she was…
"Oh my god! LUNA!" Hermione yelled…
"Yes, that is I." Luna came out from the crowd with a wide smile. Hermione then ran over to her and suffocate her with a massive hug. "Dear Lord, I shouldn't have come out yet! I'm being murdered already!" Luna choked out.
"I'm so sorry Luna! I'm just so excited that you are back! What has it been? About 17 year? Why didn't you ever come back to visit." Hermione filled her with many questions.
"Ahh, Hermione's many questions. It never gets old, but about that, it's a long story that I have to tell you some other time." Luna told her.
Yes, Hermione's dear friend Luna Lovegood or now Luna Longbottom, has returned. Luna has gotten married to Neville a month after Harry and Hermione's wedding. It came to everyone's shock that Luna was already pregnant when she walked up the aisle to her true love.
Flashback
"Oh my god Luna, you're-"
"Yes I am…" Luna said with a smile.
"How?" Hermione questioned in disbelief.
"Hermione, I'm sure you know how a baby is created or do you need me to talk you through the steps. You are a doctor anyways."
"No! Of course I know how! For god sake Harry I just did it-" Hermione said before being cut off.
"What! You two just did it again? In a church? Was the 2 weeks in Greece not enough?" Luna commented teasingly.
"No, no, no, no! Of course it wasn't enough but I wasn't dump enough to do it in a church! I'm better then that Luna." Hermione explained while Luna gave her a funny expression, "Don't look at me like that!"
"Like what?" Luna asked innocently.
"Like you just caught me doing something naughty" Hermione told her which caused Luna to bust up laughing.
"Oh dear, Hermione I can't believe you said that with a straight face. Haha!" Luna said while still laughing.
"Anyways, back to our pervious topic shall we. I was saying that Harry and I have a baby as well." Hermione said as a matter-a-fact.
"Wo, hold up and rewind! Did you say that you're pregnant too?" Luna confirmed and Hermione nodded. "Oh wow, this is great! Our kid is going to be the same age! We have to so hook them up Hermione!" Luna continued happily.
"Haha, what makes you think it's a boy and a girl already. What happens when they are of the same sex?" Hermione asked a bit amused.
"Don't worry! Knowing our luck Hermione, I'm going to have a boy and you a girl. Wouldn't that be splendid?" Luna asked excitedly.
"If you say so Luna, but for now you need to be ready so you can go marry the man you love." Hermione said with awe in her voice.
"Oh no Hermione. I don't love him…I just like him." Luna said with a straight face. Hermione's face though was in total shock after she heard it and didn't know what to say. Luna however could only laugh at the situation, "I'm only joking Hermione. I love him very much but dear, you should have seen the look on your face…it was priceless." Luna said and left, leaving Hermione standing there cursing at Luna under her breath. However, Hermione too follow Luna outside to see her friend finally settling herself down with the one she loves.
End Flashback
After that day Luna and Neville moved to New Zealand due to Neville's job. She left and never came back but Hermione and her still kept in contact and talk to each other at least once every day. There was one summer where Hermione convinced Harry to go to New Zealand but that was about nine years ago. Hermione is definitely glad to see her best friend back in down. Hermione also found out that Luna was right, and she did have a baby boy who she gave birth to three weeks after Hermione's twin were born. Hermione is not sure if she still remember about the whole situation on playing match maker for their children, but she would just like to let things flow on their own.
"So Luna, where's Neville and Clark?" Hermione asked knowing Clark is her son.
"Oh, Neville is over there talking to some old friends and Harry. Clark, will come by later because he has to pick up his girlfriend." Luna mentioned
"Girlfriend huh? She flew all the way over here with him?" Hermione asked surprised.
"Unfortunately. She said she was out here to visit relatives and the college she was going to later this fall. To me, Clark can do much better then her but I guess it's his choice not mine. Anyways, as much as the topic of me and my family is very fascinating, I want to know how have you been?" Luna asked on a more serious note.
"Oh, I've been great. Riley is going to Oxford University this fall and Benjamin is name co-partner with Harry's new company, but don't tell Benjamin yet." Hermione told Luna.
"Wow, new company? What happen to Jily's Café?" Luna asked.
"Oh, its still there, but Harry opened a new clothing line P&G…" Hermione explained with a proud smile for her husband accomplishments.
"P&G! Are you serious? I love that brand! I can't believe you guys are the designer!" Luna said excitedly.
"Harry is, not me. I'm still that boring friend of yours who is a doctor." Hermione told her.
"Aw, its ok girl…you have one hot husband who can dress himself and others…" Luna mentioned, licking her lips trying to catch Hermione's attention and she did.
"LUNA! Let me remind you that HE is MY husband and you have your own!" Hermione replied pretending to be protective of her husband.
"Oh please. What did I teach you about sharing Hermy?" Luna said teasingly.
"Urgh! I thought that name was history!" Hermione grunted.
"Well honey…you thought wrong." Luna told her as she walk by and smack Hermione's bottom, "Sorry, old habit." She finished with a wink and was off to find her husband.
"I'm so glad you're back…you little bitch!" Hermione uttered before following Luna.
(At the front door)
Riley was standing by the front door just trying to get away from the crowed room near by. She was very happy that everything seems to be going well today except for the whole Brad ordeal. She was just sitting by the piano when the door bell. She decided to get it herself since everyone else was too busy chatting others up. She slowly walks over to her large double front door and she can already hear the people on the other side talking. She opened the door and there stood a couple. They were about her age but the girl seems a bit too…but she couldn't finish her thought.
"Oh look, they even have a maid dear." The girl said out loud and took off her coat, tossing it in Riley's hands. Riley stared at her in disbeliefs but she didn't want to work up the energy to yell at her. The girl continues to walk on while the guy stood back to apologize.
"I'm so sorry about her. She's never been to a house like this before." The guy said.
"Don't worry about it." Riley replied putting the coats up.
"Uh, this is the Potter's residence correct?" He asked her.
"Yes, it is. Everyone is in the other room." Riley told him and pointed him to the next room.
"Come on dear, don't talk to the maid. We need to talk to Mr. Potter!" The girl whined as she pulled the guy away. He gave Riley another sorry look.
"Poor guy…" Riley thought to herself.
Moments later the guy and girl made their way into the party. The guy was looking for someone but the girl was busy checking out the famous people who were there and the expensive things the house had.
"Oh my god, I can't believe you know the Potters" the girl commented.
"My parents are old friends with the Potters, but I haven't actually met them yet." The guy replied a tad bit annoyed. "Mother!" he then yelled to a women.
"Clark! There you are!" it was Luna who replied to the 'mother'. "Hermione, this is my Clark, I'm sure you remember. Clark, this is Hermione Potter, you probably don't remember her since it has been years since you last met her." Luna introduced them purposely ignoring his girlfriend.
"Hello, Mrs. Potter. It is nice to meet you again." He greeted giving her a hug.
"What a lovely boy Luna. Nice to meet you as well Clark…" Hermione replied and noticing the little nudges the girl is giving Clark, "And who is this lovely young lady, Clark?" Hermione asked politely.
"Oh, this is m-"
"I'm Clark's girlfriend, Michelle." The girl introduced herself, "I have to say Hermione your house is gorgeous, you must be very lucky to marry Harry Potter." She said loudly holding on to Hermione's hand. Hermione was taken aback by her comment and the nerve she had to call her on first name bases. Removing her hand from Michelle's grasp she spoke.
"Hello Michelle, I like to be addressed by Mrs. Potter or Dr. Potter. Hermione is only for those I really know and like. And yes, I'm very lucky to have married Mr. Potter but let me tell you dear, the luck goes both ways." Hermione lectured her with a stern face. She saw the girls face went from being overly excited to extreme embarrassment. Hermione could hear Luna trying to hold in her laugher but failing terribly. "Now Clark, let me take you to meet the rest of my family." Hermione said with a smile. Luna walked right beside and they gave each other a low five.
"That was wonderful Hermione! I love you for that!" Luna whisper softly.
"You better, and you're right…she's a bit…ehh" Hermione couldn't even finish the sentence. Behind them walked Clark and Michelle.
"From now on, can you please just keep quiet?" Clark asked her nicely.
"I didn't mean to say it back there. She's just being snobby because she's got Harry Potter!" she hissed at him.
"Just shut up!" he hissed back! She didn't replied and he was glad for that. They were walking towards a group of people and he knew at once who was Harry Potter. He has read about him and saw the pictures Michelle have shown. He had to say, other then his own father, he idolize Harry Potter for all the great work he has done. He was happy that their families knew each other.
"Clark, Michelle, this is Mr. Potter…my husband." Hermione introduced the three.
"Please to meet you Clark, Michelle." Harry gave both a handshake which Michelle was reluctant to release.
"This is my son Benjamin." Hermione continues to introduce her family.
"Pleasure to meet you." Ben uttered
"Like wise." Clark replied with a smile.
"I'm Michelle." She introduced herself trying to catch Ben's attention but he gave her none.
"Hi" was all he gave her and then continued to talk to his father.
"Last but not least…" Hermione said as she walked up to a girl who had her back to them, "This is my daughter and also Ben's twin sister, Riley" Hermione said and the girl turned around at her name. At the same time both Michelle and Clark was speechless because this was the girl that Michelle thought was the maid. Oh how wrong she was.
"Hello, I'm Riley, as you probably know. Nice to meet you again." She said smiling at the two.
"I'm terribly sorry about what happen earlier…" Clark started
"No problem. Don't worry about it." Riley replied.
"It's not our fault dear. She opened the door and stood there like a maid. She could have said she was Harry Potter's daughter but she didn't, so it's her fault." Michelle said shamelessly.
"Wow, well I'm sorry but last I've heard not every who opens the door and stand there is considered maid and not everyone who lives in a big house has a maid. For your information, every Potter in this house do there own thing. We were raised to be discipline and not spoil brats." Riley told her looking at her in disbeliefs at what Michelle said. Michelle stood there in silence because this was the second time she has been scold at by both women in the Potter house hold. Riley then just ignored Michelle's stares and walked over to her friends after saying hello to the Longbottoms. Clark on the other hand was transfixed on Riley's intelligent way of snapping at others. There was something about Riley that got him thinking, but he didn't know what it really was. He ignored it and continued to mingle with the rest of the Potters.
"Hermione, I'm having Clark's Birthday Dinner at the Le Grande next Saturday and I wanted to invite your family to join us." Luna told her.
"What do you think honey?" Hermione asked Harry.
"I don't know. I'm very busy but I guess we can squeeze it in…" Harry replied teasingly.
"Well I wasn't going to take a 'no' for an answer so be there or else." Luna told them.
"Or else what Lovegood?" Harry asked demandingly.
"You don't want to know what else Potter, you just don't…" Luna replied with a proud smirk which caused Harry and Hermione to look at each other worryingly, and then they all just had a good laugh about it.
"Of course, we'll be there Luna." Hermione told Luna as both her and Harry sees the last of their guest out. "Oh wait, where are you guys staying?" Hermione asked as she walked Luna to the car and waited as she got in.
"The old apartment for now until we find a nice place to move in," Luna said randomly. She saw the confused look on Hermione's face and continued, "Oh, didn't I tell you? We are moving back to London for sure…" Luna said and she saw Hermione open her mouth but nothing came out. "Ooops." Was all Luna said and they were off leaving Hermione there stun.
"No you didn't Luna!" Hermione yelled after the car and she can see Luna's hand waving goodbye, "God, I missed you!" she then said to herself.
