Chapter 7: The ACTUAL End
"I thought Harry said seven thirty? Ron, are you sure that's what time he said?" Hermione asked Ron, stopping in her relentless pacing the length of the common room.
"Of course he said seven thirty, I think. And besides, sit down before you wear a hole in the floor!" Ron said with a laugh, pushing his girlfriend down into a chair. She smiled at him, her foot tapping nervously. Ron sighed, giving her up as a bad job and sitting down himself. "Harry said they'd be here at seven thirty and they will! They have a whole ten minutes Hermione, so calm down already."
"But no one else has shown up yet! How are we going to have a surprise get well party for Draco if no one comes? He's been in St. Mungo's for almost a month and he's finally getting out today." Hermione said whinely. "The guest need to get here right now! The spell on the portrait hole so all houses could come for this one night and everything!"
"They'll get here, calm down hermione. You're party is gonna be perfect, don't worry." Ron said softly, going to her and kissing her lightly on the lips before going to stand by the portrait hole as it opened and people came rushing inside. "Hey hermione, looks like they finally showed up."
"Oh thank God!" Hermoine sighed, flopping back in her chair as everyone that knew either Harry or Draco came fully inside the room. "Okay everyone, could I have your attention please?"
N one listened to her, they went on chatting aimlessly with each other, not caring that she was shouting at them. Even when she stood up on the arm of one of the armchairs by the fire they ignored her. She gave Ron a pleading look.
"Oi, shut up and pay attention for a minute would you?" Ron shouted over the noise. Everyone fell silent and turned to look at Hermoine.
"Thank you." Hermoine said to him, smiling. She cleared her throat loudly and began. "Thank you all for coming here today for this party. I know everyone's excited to get started and have a good time but first we all need to be as silent as possible until Harry and Draco get here - this is a surprise party after all. So, if everyone could gather in the corner so you can't be seen from the portrait hole and says quiet we should be good. They'll be arriving any minute so hurry!"
They was a muuurmur of agreement around the crowd as they hurried to comply with her request, the many different houses fighting to get into place. Suddenly footsteps could he heard outside the portrait hole, stopping just outside them. Everyone fell as silent as possible, Hermione extinguishing the lambs with a wave of her wand. Two people were shilloutted against the black and the light coming in from the portrait hole behind them, the smaller being supported slightly by the taller one.
"Hello? Where is everybody?" Harry asked the dark as he shuffled forwards, his hand on Draco's elbow supporting him as he walked into the center of the room. "I'm sure I told them seven thirty..."
"It doesn't matter if Weasly and Granger are here to greet me or not Harry, I've still got you." Draco said softly, his hand coming up nd threading in Harry's long black hair bringing Harry's head down to his in a fiery kiss. The lights suddenly burst into life again everyone shouting 'SURPRISE!' but stopping short at the sight of their friends kissing each other. A few people sniggered quietly, a girl or two sobbed at the sight of their hero kissing another boy, Ron shaking his head with a sigh as Hermione hung her head in a fit of laughter.
"Oh, um look at everyone Draco. they came after all I guest." Harry laughed putting an arm around Draco's waist with a small smile.
"Yeah, I guess so." Draco blushed. "Hey everyone, thanks for coming... I guess. Could've done without you all seeing that last bit but no harm done I suppose."
"Let's get this party started!" George Weasly called out to the appreciative roars of the assembled crowd. Music flooded the room, food appeared out of no where, people began to talkk, dance, and sing umungst themselves leaving Draco with Ron and Hermione as Harry rushed off to grab Draco a chair.
"Thanks Gran- I mean, Hermione. I know this was all your doing. I appreciate it, you know." Draco said look awkward. "That was surprisingly difficult to say."
"What was?" Hermoine asked him.
"Well, the thanking bit." Draco smirked at her. She burst out laughing, Draco and Ron laughing as well as Harry joined them.
"Talking about me behiung my back are we?" Harry joked, sitting down in the chair and pulling Draco down to sit in his lap. Draco giggled, nuzzling his head into Harry's shoulder affectionately. "Aw, I love you Draco."
"I love you too Harry." Draco smiled, kissing Harry on the lips again. Hermione grabbed Ron by the arm and led him away from the couple to give them a little privacy. "So have you heard from Kate?"
"Yeah I have actually." Harry said grimly. "She sent me something to give to you actually."
"It's not another curse is it?" Draco asked hesitantly as Harry pulled a long thin box out of an inside pocket of his cloak. Draco took it with trembling fingers and opened it, the contents falling into his lap. "She didn't really-"
"She did." Harry said softly, kissing Draco on the top of his blonde head.
"She snapped her wand." Draco smiled to himself, secretly relieved she could do no more damage to him or anyone else. He picked up the fragmented bits of wood and ribbon that had oce been Kate's wand and stuck them back in the thin box, hugging it against him chest. "I'm keeping this. I don't know why, but it seems important."
"It is important Draco, for more reason than one." Harry smiled. Draco gave him a perplexed look and he continued to explain. "You see, she can do you no more harm. She's stuck in America without magic, and believe me I went and made sure she made it back to America. She won't be seeing London ever again. And most importantly, it shows our progress as a couple Draco, what the two of us have been through together."
"That's true." Draco smiled, kissing Harry on the neck slightly as his eyes slid shut, falling asleep craddled in Harry's arms in the middle of his own party. Harry kissed his hair lightly, leaning back in his chair with the ne he loved held tightly in his arms, his happiness complete.
