- Chapter 12 – A Birthday to remember.
The next morning found both of them sleeping in their bed back in their house, they had left Hogwarts the day before, late after dinner.. It was early but Hermione woke up first, took a shower and got ready for Harry's birthday, one more birthday of his with her next to him, but that birthday was deferent this time, two little screaming creatures, results of their love made that time deferent than the others, more special than the others.
Hermione took care of both babies and made breakfast for Harry, she took the food upstairs and placed on Harry's bed-side table, then ran in babies' bedroom and picked them both with her, led them in her bedroom and laid them close to their sleepy father in her side of the bed.
Harry started to stir, smelling the delicious breakfast and listening to the small voices his little children made, Hermione was sat on her knees between him and the babies, he opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was her beautiful face getting closer to him and kissing him deeply, he smiled and responded to her kiss by grapping her neck and placing her body on top of his.
"Happy Birthday love," she whispered when they broke their kiss.
"With you three here, every passing day is like birthday for me." He smiled and kissed her again. Hermione stood up and Harry sat up on the bed, he put two pillows in front of him and she placed the disk with the food on them, then she sat opposite him and Harry turned his body for took their babies in his hug and smiled, little Lilly was wearing a blouse writing "Happy" and little James another which writing "Birthday", as the babies were laid one next to each other the words were visible.
"They can't say it yet but they probably will next year, for now I think this is a way…" Hermione smiled. Harry lowered his self close to Hermione and gave her another deep kiss.
"You really are the smartest witch of our age." He said and then took his daughter in his arms and Hermione took her son in hers. They took their breakfast with their babies in their hands.
"You know, that remains me the old movies my mom is watching, the happy family taking breakfast with their little babies, with the couple, life is wonderful in these movies…" Hermione smiled.
"Well we deserve to have a cupid scene to remember, our lives were like horror movies for a long time so we deserve to turn it in that way…" Harry smiled and placed a bit of marmalade in Lily's lips with his finger's thumb, the baby licked her lips and smiled satisfied.
"Aww she likes it," Harry smiled happily.
Hermione did the same to her son and he did the same like his sister.
"I didn't know they'd like that, we have many things to learn about them…" Hermione smiled.
"Yes we have… and we will do it together." Harry smiled at the three of them, thanking all the great powers for giving him that time with his family. They took their breakfast and put their babies back to their bedroom, Harry took a shower and came downstairs, there was a mountain of gifts on the couch in their living room and a smaller mountain of mails on the coffee table, Hermione was sat on an armchair checking the letters for some problem – when you are an auror enemies can hit you anytime- 'She's acting like Moody, but who can complains, she wants everything to be fine.' Harry thought, she rose her head and smiled at him.
"Any evil letter?" Harry asked as he made some room on the couch and sat beside his gifts.
"No, but many cheeky ones… you have many fans… female ones…" Hermione smiled.
"And are you jealous?..." Harry asked a bit uneasy.
"Well no, not anymore to be honest, I would if we hadn't spent that week in Hogwarts… but no I'm not, you're mine so none can change that…"She smiled playfully.
He came closer to her and kneeled between her legs, kissing her neck and lips, caressing her back under her t-shirt. She put her arms around his neck and enjoyed the moment. Ron apparated that moment and both tensed but their friend blushed and turned around.
"Oh Merlin… I knew I had to wait, but Luna forced to come and pick Harry, sorry guys…" Ron said with closed eyes.
The couple stood up and shared another small kiss on the lips. "It's OK Ron," Harry smiled.
Ron turned and looked at them embarrassed, "OK, that was… next time be in your bloody rooms, specially when I'll be visiting you with my Charlie, it's not good for him watching his Godparents snoging or doing more; you know …" Ron joked and the trio laughed.
"Where you want us to go?" Harry asked.
"Mate, mate… today is the friendly match of England against France… I know you have forgotten and this is my birthday gift to you, tickets for the match the rest of the guys will be with us, we'll be back late in afternoon and then you two.. will have the time.. for you know; celebrate…" Ron smiled.
"But I was thinking of staying here with Hermione…" Harry said uneasy, he would loved to go to the match with the rest but he wanted to be with Hermione as well, to celebrate in the dinner he was making fan about before...
"You can go sweetheart, we'll celebrate later…" Hermione smiled.
"Ar.. are you sure?" Harry asked stressed.
"Of course I am, besides this is Ron's gift so you won't refuse it!" Hermione said smiling. Harry nodded still feeling guilty for letting her alone in that specific day.
"Yes! Come on Harry, go upstairs take anything you need and we are ready to go." Ron smiled widely at the couple.
After some minutes Harry came downstairs and hugged Hermione, "You are the most wonderful woman in this world 'Mione," Harry whispered and kissed her.
"I know I am, this is the reason I chose you… we are alike…" Hermione smiled and kissed him again, "Go, enjoy your day," she said and hugged him. They took apart.
"OK people, Harry we'll apparate to the Burrow for pick the rest up and we'll move for the stadium all together.
"OK," Harry said, "Bye baby, I love you," Harry said smiling before apparated himself. Ron closed his eye to Hermione and apparated smiling.
The rest of the day was awesome, they took a fast snack in the Burrow and then apparated close to the stadium area, they drunk some butterbeers and waited for the match to begin, the atmosphere was close to the world cup of 1994, many people of other countries were passing by, other selling things, many stopped and took autographs from a blushing-all-the-time Harry while they had recognized him.
The match was great, the English team had new positions and attack methods which help to won, even when France had take a deference of 90 points in less than 45 minutes, England won thanks to her seeker Richards and his super move of catching the Snitch which was close to the VIP seats which Harry and the Weasleys were sating with score 260 – 200 after four hours of game.
The men left the stadium still talking about the crazy movements and hoping that the World Cup in almost three weeks would be great too. It was late in afternoon when Harry and Ron apparated themselves in front of Harry's house.
"So… Happy birthday Harry once more," Ron said and they shared a manly hug.
"Thank you Ron, that was a great gift." Harry smiled.
"I'm sure Mrs. Potter has to give you more…" Ron said and apparated himself. Harry smiled and crossed the garden, opened the door and entered the hall, the house was a bit dark, sun was still up in the sky and house shouldn't be so dark.
"Hermione! I'm back baby!" Harry shouted but none responded, he got panicked, what if somebody had attacked her and the babies as he was in the stupid game? Harry entered the living room and then many bright lights showed from nowhere and many people were standing there.
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Many people shouted and Hermione threw her self in his arms. He hugged her tight, relieved she was safe and happy for the surprise party, even Ron and the rest of the Weasleys were there, that meant that the whole thing was part of the plans, A big banner was magically excited above their heads, The Weaslesys, Luna, Fluer, Christina, Sofia, Minerva, Madame Pomfrey, Hagrid, the Grangers, madame Maxime, Lupin and Tonks, and the rest of his Gryffindor classmates were there with their partners and kids, almost 40-50 people were all wishing and smiling at him the best for his life.
"You, little witch…" Harry said smiling at Hermione and then kissed her, Dobby brought two glasses of champagne and Hermione took them and handed him the one. Then turned to the rest of the visitors and rose her hand.
"To Harry, the best man, Auror, husband, father and friend!" Hermione said loudly and the rest repeated "To Harry," and sipped from their glasses like Harry and Hermione did before shared a passionate kiss.
The party kept almost 5 hours, when the clock showed 1.00 a.m. only the Grangers, and the Weasleys had left still drinking and laughing.
"I wish we could be alone now…" Harry whispered in Hermione's ear.
"We will baby," Hermione said and kissed his flushed check.
Hermione nodded to her mom and she with her turn nodded and forced her husband to stop talking with Mr. Weasley about fridges, they both hugged their daughter and their son-in-law and left through the fireplace. Mrs. Weasley took the hint and forced the whole family to apparate back to the Burrow for sleep and get ready " Tomorrow and their general cleaning day in the house." After some groans of frustration all the Weasleys hugged the couple and apparated away.
"See? It was that easy… you should just ask for it…" Hermione smiled playfully.
"Oh my… why you didn't do that before?..." Harry asked surprised.
"Because my silly, little wizard, it was all part of my plan for you… watch quidditch with your mates, see all your old friends, and then have me…" she smiled and kissed his neck making him shiver. "But… I have to say… it's not your birthday anymore, so I can refuse to make love to you and just go and sleep…" Hermione smiled against his skin. They both were exhausted but that option was out of the question.
"Forget it." Harry smiled and kissed her check, lifted her in his arms and led her upstairs in their bedroom quietly for don't woke the children, he opened the door and gasped, the room was lighted by many small candles around the room, there was champagne and two glasses on Hermione's bed-side table, the cute smell of vanilla and lavender was filling his lugs. He kissed the woman in his arms and led her on their bed and laid her beneath him.
"You are amazing," Harry whispered and kissed her again.
"You deserve the best…" Hermione smiled at him while they broke their kiss.
"You're the best." Harry said and hugged her tight, "And I love you so much, you know that, right?" He said as he started kissing her neck again.
"I do know, and I'm grateful," Hermione answered serious as she enjoyed Harry's touch, "But I'd like you to show me…" she said this time smiling playfully.
"I will baby, now, tomorrow, for the rest of our days, I will." Harry smiled and… showed her….
