Chapter 4- Invitations and Surprise Parties
Jade was getting bigger with each passing month and she was sitting on the floor on a hot August day finishing up the invitations to the wedding. She had gotten distracted and had to hurry up and finish them last minute. Just then an owl flew through her open window and landed beside her. She took the letter and the owl flew away. She opened the letter and found Hermione's neat writing. Jade, meet me at my house around 7pm. I have to talk to you. I won't take no for an answer and if you are not her by 7:05 I will be coming for you. Lots of Love, Hermione.
"Oh great." Jade thought as she tied invitations to her owl and gave him a nice pat before he took flight. Jade looked at the clock and went to the bathroom to get a shower before going. Getting out of the shower she quickly pulled on her jeans and tank top. She wasn't hiding the fact she was pregnant so she basicly wore whatever she wanted. She pulled her hair back in a ponytail and again left a note for Harry. She left it on the kitchen counter where she knew would be the first place he went when he got home. Sighing she apparated to Hermione and Ron's house. Walking in she saw that Hermione was sitting with Ginny, Luna, Sahara, and to her dismay Lavender. "Hi guys. So Hermione what did you need to talk to me about?"
"Nothing. I just need to get you here for your bachlorette party/baby shower. So what did you tell Harry?"
"Nothing. I just left him a note. So I think I know who's idea this was. Ginny start running cause I'm gonna kill you."
"Good guess. But it wasn't me. It was all Hermione's idea."
"Hermione this was your idea?" Jade asked surprised.
"Yes so here are your presents for the baby."
So they spent the next 10 minutes opening presents both for the baby and for herself. Then there was a knock on the door and Hermione grinned slyly as she opened the door. There was an auror at the door frowning at them all. "There has been a noise complaint from your neighbors." He said as he came in. Jade stared confused for a minute before she realized what he was going to do. "Ginny Weasley I know this was your idea." She shouted.
"Again your wrong. It was all Hermione's idea."
"Hermione Jane Granger this was your idea?"
"Yes it was. Now get over here and sit. I know how you like aurors."
All the girls in the room laughed as Jade turned a little red. Finally she agreed and the baclerette party began.
Harry came home to an empty house. He headed for the kitchen and found the note from Jade on the table. He got in the shower and when he got out he heard noises coming from the living room. He walked in his wand ready when he saw to red haired people bringing things in. "What are you guys doing?" he asked and Fred and George turned around. "Hi Harry. Just came to keep you company while Jade's with Hermione. I thought Ron would tell you we were coming."
"No he didn't."
"Harry would you mind getting dressed?"
"Yeah. I'll be back in a minute okay?"
Harry went to his bedroom and quickly dressed coming back out to find his livingroom was full of more people. He knew immediately what was going on and tried to put a stop to it. He should have known better but in the end Fred and George got their way so they spent the night drinking beer and everything else that they had brought. Somewhere near 4 in the morning Harry passed out on the couch.
Around 4 when everyone else had gone to sleep Jade and Hermione went up to the bedroom and sat down on the bed. "Hermione you really surprised me tonight. But I had lots of fun. Thank you."
"I was happy to do it and you did it for me before I got married. Are you tired yet?"
"Not at all. What do you want to do?"
"I have an idea." Hermione said getting up and walking to the bathroom returning with a bottle of green stuff.
"Hermione what is that?"
"It's a muggle face mask. I'll do you and you do me. Then we can go downstairs and eat all the ice cream we want. "
"I like that idea. Let's do it."
Hermione and Jade went down the stairs into the kitchen after Hermione applied the face mask to Jade. Jade sat down at the kitchen table while Hermione reached into the freezer and pulled out 2 different flavors of ice cream. "Do you want peanut butter or chocolate swirl?" she asked as she reached up in the cabinet to get down two bowls. "Chocolate swirl. Hermione I just remembered where is Rebecca?"
"Molly wanted to take her for the night. She just loves taking care of Rebecca and she thought I needed a break."
They fell into a comfortable silence and ate their ice cream. They washed off their masks and went to the living room to watch t.v. As everyone else was getting up Jade was just falling asleep.
AN: I finally updated. I have had a bad week with babysitting and other things going on. I will be going on vacation for awhile and I don't know if I will have time to get on my laptop to update. So I will update when I get the chance. I'll try and have chapter 5 up before I leave. Please review. I find your comments helpful. I think Hermione may be a little ooc.
