A/N- Hey all!! Melissa is finally back from all of her East Coast/Midwest vacations, so we're back on the writing spree!! Well, sort of because I'm in marching band and once school starts, we have practice every Wednesday night and games every Friday through to the end of October. I'm going to be working my tail off keeping up with playing a new instrument, keeping up with my grades, and keeping the chapters rolling for you guys (as well as balancing swimming and my social/love life). Wow. My job is reeeeally hard.
Right… Whatever… I have to balance a lot too but I… U know what I "reeeeally" don't feel like arguing because that will take way too long and I don't want to keep them, from reading the chapter with our ramblings, so well just take this argument outside while u enjoy Ch. 7 of Lips of an Angel.
Whatever… but I'm not done with you. Somehow I will prove that my job is way harder than yours. I'm going to think about it….
Ok…while Katie broods over that topic (and something else HEE HEE). Oh and Reviews would be very helpful to the both of us. We kinda have not been updating as regularly as we should have so I also would like to thank all those people who have waited patiently for us. Without any further rambling, here is Chapter 7 of Lips of An Angel
(And please tell her that my job is harder!!)
The Surprise
Hermione POV
I was cleaning in the kitchen when I felt someone behind me. Then I felt a strong pair of arms wrap around me and a voice whisper in my ear. "Cleaning again?!" I turned around and came face to face with my boyfriend. "For your information I was not the one that left the kitchen in a mess, Mr. Harry James Potter!" He responded to that by pulling me into a passionate kiss that I welcomed. When he pulled back, his emerald eyes were sparkling.
"Hey. I have a surprise for you." Harry said, reaching into his pocket. He pulled out an envelope that was a pure white with light pink script on it.
"What's this?" I asked, reaching out for the envelope. It was already split open.
"We have a wedding to go to this weekend." Harry said, a little abashed.
I looked inside the envelope, and sure enough, there was a piece of paper with delicate and curvy script on it saying that there was a wedding this weekend.
"For Dean and Parvati?!?!" I exclaimed, "But the Owl Postage is from two months ago!! Why didn't I see it then?!"
"Because I got the letter two months ago and I forgot to give it to you, surprise!!" Harry rushed.
"Ok…" I said. Lets not loose our cool. "So…any wedding themes or anything special I need to know?"
"Yeah…umm…" Harry said, scratching the back of his neck.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER!!" I roared.
"Ok ok fine… you and Lavendar will be the bridesmaids. Seamus will be the best man and Neville and I will be the groomsmen."
"Cool…anything else?"
"Its actually a mixed wedding. You and the girls will wear the traditional Indian garments for the wedding and the guys and I will be wearing the traditional Western tuxedos."
"And what about the actual ceremony?"
"Its actually going to be mixed, its really cool. It's going to be in an open meadow under a canopy, called a mandap. But after that, it's a pretty traditional wedding. The vows, the rings, all that good stuff."
"And anything we need to do?"
"Just show up, do everything we're told, and just act cool."
"Alright…but what about the dress?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I have to get the garments with Parvati and getting ready, and…"
"Chill, Mione. The dress has already been selected and it will be arriving later today with the dresser, who will make sure everything fits right. And…"
"And???"
"We have to go up to Walsall, Birmingham for the wedding because that's a more central location for everyone that's invited to come to rather than London."
"And when are we leaving?"
"Uhh…early tomorrow morning. Parvati's parents are renting out an entire inn on the outskirts of Walsall and we have to be up there by 10:30 and the rehearsal starts at 11 and it will go till 5:30, where we'll head to Royal Spice in Northfield for the rehearsal dinner. It's going to be great!!"
"Ok…I guess I'll go pack everything."
"What things??"
"Clothes, some food for traveling, makeup, shoes, and a lot of other things. Would you be a darling and help me?"
"Umm…sounds great and I really would love to, but Ron and I have to…have to…have to go pick up our suits. Bye!!"
"Ugh!! Boys!!" I rolled my eyes as Harry dashed out the door.
A/N- Hey all!! Hope you enjoyed all the details because we did all of the research and picked out the specific places where each event would take place (except for the inn, which we don't know exists or not). But it's hard to do when you're soooo psyched out from your first day of high school.
Yea not only that but we're at my place and our dads are trying to set up Internet in my bedroom and they have to keep changing computers every ten minutes. So I'm glad we did finish this (by the way, my job's harder, Katie!).
No way Jose!! You try balancing my life and writing the best you can and you've got your days filled to the brim, so my job is obviously harder.
And sorry about the short chapter. We want to apologize for the long update (again), but if we had continued with our work, the chapter simply would have been WAY too long. You'll thoroughly enjoy the next one!!!
Adios!!!
-Katie (and Mel)
