Chapter 10: The Plan
Blaise chuckled as Harry, Draco, Severus, and himself were snickering about how to throw the party. It was a week before Valentine's Day and a week for the four of them to turn the Snake's Den into a proper place for their party. To where Blaise was going to announce his engagement with Ron.
"Blaise, why do you want to make sure that we're partly sober for the party?"
He smirked. "I guess you'll have to wait and see... why, Sev..."
Almost everything was set... the only thing that wasn't set was how to get their lovers to the party. Of course, that was Severus' and Draco's problem, being that they had volunteered to do that one part. Blaise smirked. This was going to be good.
Severus grinned stupidly and touched his arm, the Mark shivering under the light pressure. They had to get Ron and Hermione to the den without trouble and they, Draco and he, didn't have a clue as to how.
Suddenly Draco sneered and looked at Severus. "I know, send them to a detention at the Potions classroom and then bring them here, saying that you have to get something or else that their detention will be carried out here."
Blaise grinned, "Brilliant Draco." They laughed at their idiotic plan and turned to look at the clock on the wall. Ten at night, Harry shivered.
"I'm going to go to bed, my friends; I'll see you in the morning."
Valentines Day arrived a little too quickly for the boys of Slytherin. Everything was on schedule, yes, but that didn't mean that they were ready to do everything that came into their minds during planning. Severus had already left to go get Ron and Hermione, Blaise was arguing with Dobby to go and bring their food and drinks up, Harry and Draco were sitting by the fire talking; the evening was perfect.
Severus walked in with two dumfounded students following him. Draco and Blaise walked to their sides and kissed their lovers softly. Harry smirked and mumbled, "You're late Severus. What took you three so long?"
Severus sighed inaudibly and said, "Filch."
The group laughed and drank for several hours. "May I have your attention, please?" Blaise asked his friends. At their nod he continued, "I would like to announce to everyone that Ron and I are going to be married," Blaise's voice was slightly slurred. Everyone blinked and then cheered. Ron just blushed deeply. It was a good day for lovers... and a good day for the start of their futures.
