*Early in the morning*
We all arrived outside the Burrow with a loud pop, it was now around three o'clock in the morning and Ginny was now currently holding me up due to the amount of drink that I had had. And even though she was drunk as well she was swaying slightly she was able to stand a little straighter than me, however when my feet touch the ground I dropped to the floor due to the abrupt landing and I took Ginny with me.
"Hermione, Ginny are you ok?" Mrs Weasley slurred as she staggered over to us.
"Yes!" I burst out laughing, as Ginny started to giggle next to me.
"Hey you!" my mother exclaimed as she stood next to Mrs Weasley. "Come on!" she implored. "You'll wake everyone up" she reminded me and Ginny as she threw a quick glance at the burrow.
"Sorry" I slurred as Ginny, Mrs Weasley and my mother all helped me to my feet as the others just all swayed on the spot slightly.
"Let's get you to bed" Ginny advised as she wrapped her arm around both of my shoulders, which made me burst out laughing once more.
"Oh Ginny!" I shrieked. "I am so sorry" I joked. "But you are really not my type" I teased which made her roll her eyes at me. "And I am to be married tomorrow" I laughed heartedly as Ginny threw a very amused look to the others.
"Come on you" Ginny said as she started to steer me towards the Burrow and we all then started to walk towards it.
"I love him Ginny" I sighed happily as I started to think about Cedric.
"I know" I heard her answer.
"No I reeeeeallly love him" I pressed.
"I know Mione" she repeated.
"I really miss him" I sighed once more.
"Well you will see him soon enough" she offered.
"Far too long in my opinion" I sighed sadly as I pouted.
"Well just think of it this way-" Ginny started. "The sooner you go to sleep, the sooner we are leaving for Hogwarts" she offered.
"True" I nodded. "Very true" I agreed and smiled at this thought as we got to the doorway.
"Now I think I already know the answer-" Ginny began as Mrs Weasley unlocked the door and we all staggered in. "But do you think that you can make the stairs on your own?" she asked as we all stepped into the living room.
"I think so" I nodded. "But I am not one hundred per cent confident" I admitted.
"Ok" Ginny nodded. "Well I'll help you" she offered as we both started to head towards the stairs but stopped when we heard all the voice.
"It looks like you have had a good night" Mr Weasley said happily, which made us all look over to the kitchen table to see him sitting there tinkering with what looked like to be a radio.
"You stayed up?" Mrs Weasley asked in confusion as she walked up to him as Mrs Weasley set a screwdriver down onto the table.
"Of course I stayed up" Mr Weasley grinned up at his wife. "I wanted to make sure you all came back safely" he advised happily as he threw us all a happy look.
"Oh Arthur!" Mrs Weasley exclaimed before she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and they shared a brief but loving kiss.
"Did you have a good night Mione?" Mr Weasley asked as he looked over to me. "Everything you wanted and more?" he offered with a grin.
"Exactly" I slurred as my eyes started to swoon. I watched as Ginny threw me a look before she tightened her arm around my shoulders.
"I would let her stay longer Dad" Ginny said. "But she may fall asleep" she giggled.
"I also may not" I giggled back.
"I see" Mr Weasley nodded. "Well you get yourselves to bed then" he smiled. "All of your beds have been made up" he explained.
"Thank you for opening up your home to us" my mother offered.
"You're very welcome" Mr Weasley answered happily as Mrs Weasley wrapped her arm around his shoulders. "Good night all!" he called.
"Good night" we all chorused and me and Ginny then started to walk towards the stairs. As we did this I couldn't help note that I love the fact that that we were able to also share this special time with the Weasley's as well - they were my second family after all.
After a very slow and careful work upstairs we get to Ginny's room, when we got into the room I slowly lay down on the bed that was made up for me and I yawned and smiled happily.
"Are you going to get changed?" I heard Ginny laugh.
"I will at some point" I dismissed. "But I just don't have the energy at the moment" I admitted.
"That's up to you" she shrugged as she sat down on the right hand side of her bed.
"Ginny" I stated.
"Yes?" she nodded.
"Thank you for organising my hen party" I thanked her warmly.
"You're very welcome" she smiled back. "Even though you weren't really much fun with the drinking game" she winked at me.
"Hey!" I teased. "Some things are better left unsaid and kept between couples" I reminded her.
"True" she nodded. "But it's still not fun" she winked at me once more which made me chuckle at this. As my eyes slowly kept opening and closing I started to relive the conversation that I had just shared with Ginny, I was very thankful for her giving me a very good hen party. Saying that I didn't doubt her I knew she would, and I hoped to return the favour for her someday. As my eyes rolled shut my final thoughts were on Cedric, and I just hoped that he was having just as much fun as I was - wherever he was.
