Chapter 8: Surprise Surprise
HePOV
"SEAMUS!!!!!!!!!!!!" I giggled like a little girl. This wonderful man always brought the child out in me.
"MAMA MIA!!!!!!!!!!!"
He set me down on my feet, I was just a bit dizzy from the alcohol I had already consumed on top of his twirling me around like a little girl. Most don't realize, but Seamus Finnegan is a hell of a friend. When he heard what Harry and Ron had done to me he showed up, wand blazing, ready for a fight. I got a hell of a lot closer to him than I ever thought I would be. Even his boyfriend didn't think we would be as close as we are.
I turned around to see who else was there, but Seamus' gigantic frame was blocking out the rest of the room.
"Where's Nev?"
"He's around here somewhere. So are Fred, George, Siri, Remy, and a couple other redhead blokes. The girls are with us too."
"Not to be a total bitch, but why are you here? You guys only come out like this when you have something to celebrate."
"Ummm, Mia, you do realize your birthday was last weekend right?"
"Well, fuck me! To be honest, I completely forgot."
Another voice piped in after I revealed my slip up.
"Hermione, dear, how the holy hell do you forget your own birthday?"
I shoved Seamus out of the way to wrap myself around my favorite werewolf. "I don't think about stuff like that Remy. I'm always on the go, and I can't be bothered with trivial things like birthdays."
"More like she doesn't want to admit she's another year older."
"Sirius, nobody fucking asked your opinion." I said with mock annoyance.
"You might not have asked for it love, but I gave it to you anyway. Now, care to explain why there are two slytherins standing at the door looking like someone kicked their pet snakes?"
"Oh shit!" I waved the two over. They looked a bit uneasy being in present company.
"Draco, Blaise, you know everyone here right?"
They just nodded. I think they were a bit too intimidated to speak aloud, either that or they had gone mute.
I quickly explained what had gone down a couple of nights ago, as well as what happened at my apartment the morning after. By the time I was done there were several angry people; four Weasleys, a werewolf, an ex con, a livid Irishman, his adorable dorky gay lover, and all the girlfriends. Draco and Blaise just stared in awe at the show of support for me. Especially since said ex con happens to be the godfather of one of the moron twins.
Sirius noticed the look they were giving everyone in the room and chuckled. "When I found out how he truly was I decided to disown the little bastard. He should have known better than to do some of the things he did."
"Hear hear Black."
I whirled around to face the door.
This night just couldn't be any stranger.
"Snape, to what do we owe the pleasure of your company tonight?"
"I needed to speak with my godson about some things that have come up rather unexpectedly."
Draco looked up confused. "What's going on?"
"It's nothing major Draco."
I stepped up beside him.
"If it's nothing major, why don't you join us all for drinks professor."
"I would be delighted Miss Granger."
I hollered out the door for Bryson to bring several pitchers of drinks into the lounge, and waved Rhiannon into the room with us. She knew Blaise, Draco, and Seamus, but that was about all. Once introductions were over we all just stood around drinking and talking to each other. Before the night was over I was deep in conversation with one Professor Snape, about what I couldn't tell you since I was more than three sheets to the wind.
Closing time came and went, but still, there we were. We were having such a good time that I never even realized the time. Draco, Blaise, and Severus, as he insisted I call him, fit right into the group flawlessly. It was as if when Harry and Ron fucked me over, they left an opening for the three new additions.
Blaise was the one that called an end to the party when he realized I was falling asleep on his chest. Everyone helped `clean up and decided we would all go out for dinner sometime soon before leaving. I was just tired and agreeable to anything.
Blaise carried me out to the car and slid into the backseat with me while Draco drove us all to my apartment.
All I remember is being laid gently in the bed and the feeling of being surrounded by warmth as the two of them snuggled into the bed with me.

"Tonight was strange." I said to Draco after we had gotten Hermione situated between us in the bed.
"Just a bit. It was fun though."
"Yeah, I never ever in a million years thought I would ever party with the people we were around tonight, but did you see how happy she was? It's almost like she forgot everything bad that's happened lately, and just relaxed."
"That's a good thing B. I'm just happy she's willing to give us a chance. We don't deserve it you know?"
"Yes, I'm well aware that we don't deserve the chance she's afforded us, but I will make the best conscious effort I can to not fuck this up. I feel like something big is going to happen, and it involves all three of us."
"I know what you mean, but right now all I feel is tired. Goodnight Blaise."
"Night Draco."
I closed my eyes and drifted off to the even breathing of my two lovers.
