A/N: I unfortunately do not own Harry Potter characters. If I did I would have lots of money and be signing autographs and what not. Anyway. Enjoy!
Recap:
They all waited there for hours, in the small cramped waiting room.
People where squeezed up against each other, Fleur was setting on Bill's lap and Fred and George where being levitated upside down in midair by Kaylyn and Charlie.
Although nobody was certain if that was because of lack of room or the twins' lovely new year presents.
After a few more painstaking hours a nurse came out of the set of double doors Ginny had left threw.
She looked around the room, from Fred and George to Fleur and Bill.
"The father?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.
Harry stood up, bumping the bench he was sitting on causing most people to fight for balance, except for Tonks who just fell to the floor.
"Congratulations Mr. Potter, you are the father of ...A lovely baby girl ... and a gorgeous baby boy!"
Everybody gasped.
"Twins?" George and Fred asked at the same time.
The nurse nodded as everyone in the room turned to Harry.
"I will take 5 people in to see Ginny and the babies." the nurse said, glancing around the room.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Harry, Ron and Hermione all stumbled to the front of the room, the nurse swung open the double doors and they followed her down the hallway and into room 104.
Ginny was laying in one of those mass produced hospital beds holding in one arm a blue blanket and in the other a pink.
(also, she obviously wasn't holding just blankets. Its whats in the blankets that are of interest.)
Harry scooped up the baby boy and looked down at Ginny.
"What will we name them?" he asked, switching his gaze to look down at his son.
All the time Hermione was thinking Kodak moment kodak moment!
"We?" Ginny asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No no no, Mr. Potter, you have it all wrong. I already have names picked out, couldn't leave it to you. Poor kids would end up with names like ...boy and ... girl or something equally as odd." Ginny said.
Hermione smirked as she caught Harry sigh in relief.
Mrs. Weasley laid a hand on Ginny's shoulder at the same moment Ron entwined his hand around Hermione's.
"She will be named ... Lilian Jane Potter and he will be named ... James Sirius Potter." Ginny said, smiling brightly.
There was a long silent moment as they all watched the babies cuddle into the blankets and listened to Mrs. Weasley sob.
After a few minuted the nurse came back in and ushered them all out, except for Harry, who flat out refused to leave.
When Hermione pushed open the double doors she was immediately swarmed by the others who where all demanding to know if they where all healthy and what the names where and Fleur even asked what they looked like.
"They're both healthy, the girls name is Lilian Jane and the boys name is James Sirius. Lily has beautiful blue eyes and red hair and James has bright green eyes and black hair which I'm sure, given a couple of years will be as messy as his fathers." Hermione said, smiling as she had everyones attention.
After no less than half and hour of Hermione giving details about how angelic they looked the group decided to go back to the burrow and really celebrate. (Harry and Ginny being excluded because Ginny had to stay the night in the hospital and Harry wouldn't leave her side and everybody else wanted to give them their privacy.)
Fleur had managed to hide Mrs. Weasley's records and started to play some more fast beat rhythms from The Weird Sisters.
Streamers and confetti twirled around the room as the people danced and talked the night away.
Hermione poured herself a glass of gilly water and talked with Lupin about werewolf rights until Ron came and grabbed her by the elbow.
He grabbed both his and her drinks and set them on an end table.
"Common Hermione." he yelled over the music.
Hermione followed him from the room and out into the hallway where the music was less loud.
"Yes Ron?" she asked, Ron just smirked and started to edge towards a broom cupboard. Hermione smiled mischievously and followed close behind him.
They hardly got any time together at all anymore.
Ron pulled open the broom cupboard and, much to their shock, it exploded with a loud chorus of bangs and sizzles and balloons and fireworks.
Most of the guests rushed from the front room to see what had happened and Hermione felt herself redden as they all took in the situation.
Ron hadn't moved since he opened the door and was standing still as stone, with the exception that he was fully colored, his ears where exceptionally colored, dawning a bright, candy apple, red.
Mostly everybody laughed and they all returned to the room, Hermione and Ron being that nights laughing stocks.
Fred and George where topping off people's drinks with what they called "American wine" which they insisted everybody in the room have a taste of.
Hermione would have normally been suspicious but at the moment was thinking about what had happened so was preoccupied when Fred poured some into her drink.
Hermione raised her glass to her lips, but lowered it again, feeling her need to sit down greater than her thirst. She glided over to the sofa and sat down, watching as Fred and George forced that so called wine down people's throats.
Then she watched as all the chaos began...
Fist, Tonks stood up on a chair and announced to the room. "This is getting boring so I'm going to go out in the hall with Remus and snog. If you need to find me ... don't." then she grabbed Remus' shirt and they strode out into the hallway.
Hermione half smiled, while wondering what it was they had been drinking.
Then she noticed that everybody else in the room where too distracted to hear that announcement.
Mr. Weasley was no where in sight. Fleur and Mrs. Weasley where in a rather loud fight. Percy, who usually said flirting was unbecoming and had a girlfriend, was desperately trying to get Kaylyn's attention while Charlie and Bill started a fist fight!
In the midst of all this havoc Hermione saw Fred and George, holding that bottle of 'American wine' and smiling to themselves.
Hermione glanced down at her glass and frowned.
She stood up abruptly and strutted over to where the twins where now laughing their heads off.
(not literally, there heads are still quite attached I assure you.)
"What did you put in there drinks?" Hermione asked, raising her eyebrows.
Between heaves of laughter they managed to choke out. "Not wine-they actually drank it!-trust the bright one not to!-Cant believe they drank it!-American wine my bum!"
This didn't really answer her question.
Hermione raised her glass over the twins heads (they where doubled over in hysterical laughter) and dumped it over their ginger hair.
"Hey!" "What was that for!"
she sighed. "What did you put in that so-called wine?" Hermione demanded.
"Not very cheerful are we?" Fred mocked.
Hermione glared at them.
"Just a new potion we where testing, - makes you lose all control and do – whatever you want to." George and Fred said.
"Wonderful, and when will it wear off?" she asked moodily.
"'Bout a hour or two." George said, shrugging.
"Hermione?"
she turned at the sound of her name. Ron was standing behind her with a small, blue box. He bent down on one knee and grabbed her fingertips with his left hand and flipped open the box with his right.
"Will you marry me?"
