A Surprise At Home
Hermione arrived home in the morning. Upon opening the front door, Hermione and Severus were greeted by loud cheers and bright decorations. Friends and Weasleys welcomed her home and congratulated her.
Hermione's eyes widened. "Did you do this Severus?"
"No, no. Ginny's the one to blame."
Ginny took Charlotte from Hermione's arms and grinned. "I couldn't stand knowing you didn't get a baby shower."
Before Hermione could say anything, a quiet voice addressed her. "It hasn't been as bad as you predicted, has it Hermione?"
She turned to see Dumbledore smiling back. Her eyes watered.
Hermione had never felt happier.

Aw, everybody cares! And so do you guys! Thanks so much for all your ideas! I have lots to think about now. And chocolate cupcakes for everybody even if you didn't review. I'm feeling generous.
