Chapter 24: The Party

Ok, when I woke up I was kind of scared for this afternoon. Everyone was acting extremely suspicious.


Harry even offered to show me his home on Privet drive just to get Riley and I out of the house.


"Um no thanks, I'm pretty sure if I met your cousin, I'd probably punch him." I chuckle.


He smirks.


"Y/N! RILEY! CLOSE YOUR EYES!" Fred yells from upstairs. I sigh and cover my eyes,


"So when are we gonna get to know what this surprise really is?"


"Very soon, we promise!" I hear George say as the twins stomp down the stairs and out the door.


That was most of our day, one person from the family would sit with us for about an hour and talk, while everyone else would be bustling from one house to the other helping Fred and George.


But knowing Ron he'd get hungry so I stopped him.


"Do you wanna go get some food and maybe bring everyone else back some?" I asked him.


"Sure," he answered me, "but we should probably take Riley with so everyone can keep working."


"Ugh fine!" I sigh, "Riley come on we're gonna go get food with Ron."


"DAD! I'M TAKING THE CAR!" Ron yells as he grabs the keys and walks out.


Ah yes, the flying car. Ron told me about how him and Harry had to take it to school when Dobby locked them out.


This is the first time I've ever seen Ron drive and I was kinda nervous. But honestly he isn't that bad of a driver.


We soon got to the Leaky Cauldron. The three of us sat down and ordered. We ate slowly, like really slowly, especially Ron, I'm pretty sure it took him about 2 hours to eat. But he was so annoyed with Riley and I by the end he finally snapped.


"Come on Ron please tell us what the surprise is! Please!" The two of us repeat throughout our entire lunch.


"Okay! Okay! Fine! I'll tell you!" Ron exclaims extremely frustrated.
He sighs, "Fred and George have been planing you a surprise party."


The two of us gasp.


"Oooo a party! What will I wear?" I say.


Ron rolls his eyes, " Nothing over the top, it's the twins so it's casual, and I do not want anyone checking you out besides me." He says grabbing my hand.


"Ugh stop being so lovey dovey and take me home, so I can finally see my boyfriend." Riley pleads.


"Fine let's go," Ron grabs the keys and we get home.


Once we walk in the door Riley goes straight for George, hugging him and kissing him.


Ron and I make gagging and throwing up noises in the corner. George throws his hand at us, "come on you know you lot are worse than us."


We all laugh.


"So a surprise party huh!" Riley exclaims still holding onto George.


"Ron!" George let's go of Riley. "You told them!"


"I couldn't take it! They were whining and whining and whining and they wouldn't shut up until I told them!" Ron yells. "You try spending 2 hours alone with two annoying sisters who won't shut up!"


"ANNOYING!" Riley and I say in unison. I give him a light slap across the face.


"Speaking of the party, when's it starting?" I ask.


"In about an hour!" Fred says appearing out of who knows where.


"AN HOUR!" Riley and I yell in unison again.


"We should go home and get changed!" Riley exclaims grabbing my arm.


"Don't go into the kitchen or the basement! George, Ron, and I will be over soon to finish some things up." Fred explains as we run to our brooms.


The two of us were only half listening as we sprinted outside and back home.


Once we get home I run upstairs.


"Wait, y/n!"


I sigh, "what Riley??"


"You don't wanna see what's in the kitchen or the basement?"


"No, I'll see it soon enough, plus, why would you wanna ruin the surprise your boyfriend made for you?"


"Right, no time to talk! Must get ready!" She runs past me up the stairs.


I had no idea what to wear! But after standing in front of my closet for a while, I took out a striped button up and a pair of jeans I stole from Ron's closet. I put on a brown belt, and cuffed my jeans because Ron's taller than me, but since I can fit into his jeans I can definitely say I'm not that much shorter than him.


I put my hair into wavy curls, and put on light makeup. While I was putting on my jewelry I heard footsteps at the front door.


"Bye Ms.Brooklyn!" I hear Ron say to my mother as he walks in.


It's so strange hearing my moms maiden name now that she's finally gotten all of the paperwork and everything done for her divorce with dad. I wish dad was here, but I know it's for the best because things were getting worse and worse. It was getting to a point that I was starting to get scared for mom.


Anyway, I tried my hardest not to think about it today. Today's about meeting new people and having fun. I smile at myself in the mirror and walk downstairs.


"Bloody hell, y/n you look beautiful!" Ron exclaims as I come down the stairs.


"Thanks! You don't look to shabby yourself!" I reply as I plant a kiss on his lips.


"Ugh! Get a room!" Fred says with disgust.


"Ummm this is my house sooo.... I own every room," I say with sass


"Then how come you do this at my house too?" He asks.


"Because your house, is also my house!" Ron adds.


"Stop bickering at each other and let's go show the girls the surprise!" George yells excitedly as he puts his arm around Riley.


Ron grabs my hand as we walk to the kitchen. It's completely decked out with hufflepuff and gryffindor themed things.


"Wow!" Riley sighs


"It's incredible! I love it! Thank you!" I say pulling Ron in for a hug.


"Since we didn't know where you guys would end up we decided to decorate with the two houses we thought you'd end up in. Ron wasn't very happy when I went out and got everything hufflepuff themed though." Fred exclaims.


"I just really want you to be in gryffindor y/n! Do you know how easy it'll be to sneak into each other's rooms? If you end up in hufflepuff then I'll either have to go to the dungeon or you'll have to come up to see me." Ron says.


"But you know what'll be great if I get into hufflepuff!?" I ask Ron.


"What?" He sighs.


"It'll be right by the kitchen! I'll be able to get you anything you want." I explain.


Ron pauses, "that's a bloody good point y/n, ok I guess it's not bad if you get into hufflepuff!" He shrugs and smiles.


At this point more people began arriving. Ginny walked in with a brown haired boy in a sweater vest and a girl in a floral dress.


They walked over to us. "y/n, Riley, I'd like you to meet Luna Lovegood, and Neville Longbottom. They both attend Hogwarts. Luna's a Ravenclaw and Neville's a Gryffindor." She explains.


Riley and I shake their hands. "Longbottom, were your parents in The Order of The Phoenix?" I ask.


"Um... yes, but I don't really like to talk about it.." He drifts off.


We headed down to the basement where there were even more fun snacks and drinks.


"George, Fred how did you get all of these decorations and everything?" Riley asks.


"Riley, you're asking the Weasley Twins how they got mischievous decorations. It's Fred and George what do you expect?" I say.


Riley shrugs and laughs as more people walk in, Harry, Hermione, and some others I don't recognize.


"Fred!" Ginny scoffs grabbing his sleeve and pulling him over to her. "Why the hell did you invite Cho Chang?" She asks sternly.


Riley looks over as me confused. "A girl Harry used to like." I explain. She nods her head in understanding.


"George and I invited as many people as we could think of! We didn't think it'd be that big of a deal!" Fred exclaims.


Ginny punches Fred's shoulder aggressively and walks over to Harry.


Ron puts his arm around me, pulling me closer to him as he sees some Hufflepuffs walk down the stairs.


"Promise me you won't leave me for any of those little bitches over there." He points at the group that had walked in, "boy or girl, I don't care darling just don't leave me."


I forgot I ever came out to him as bi. It was the first night we met when we were laying in bed together. I miss that night so much. That was the beginning of the rest of my life, and one of the best days of my life.


"Okay, I promise! As long as you promise not to leave me for any of those girls." I point at a group of girls that were getting drinks.


"Well Harry and I went to the ball with two of them, and the other one, Lavender, she annoys me. Deal." He says. He kisses me on the forehead as I hear the twins yell down the stairs.


Fred stomps down the stairs with multiple bottles of fire whisky. While George sprinted behind him with a keg of spiked butter beer.


"Butter beer already has alcohol in it, but not enough for those boys." I hear Ginny say, I laugh and look at her. The two of us make eye contact. She goes and grabs two cups and fills them up at the keg.


"Ron, I'm stealing your girlfriend for a smidge and there's nothing you can do about it!" She says grabbing my arm and handing me a cup of butter beer. "Come on, let's go meet someone new friends."


Ginny's really mature for her age. She's only like 14, but she acts a lot older. I'm guessing she has to be mature because well, she lives with Fred and George. Those two are childish and immature enough for the entire Weasley family.


We walk up to a group of hufflepuffs, or at least that's what I guessed they were. They seemed very cheerful and all had very good fashion senses. After meeting them all I realized that they're all hufflepuffs. All 5 of the kids standing in front of me.


"Hey, y/n, I like your style." One of the girls, Susan Bones says as she winks at me. Was she hitting on me? I couldn't tell.


"Back off Susan, she's going out with Ron." Ginny says backing me up.


Ooos went over the group. "So you're into Gingers!" Susan says, "well why don't you drop the boy and date a woman darling." She winks again. I laugh slightly trying to make the conversation less tense.


"Anyway, what house do you hope to be put in?" A tall boy who I think was named Ernie asked me.


"Well I was hoping hufflepuff because it seems most like me and I think I would fit in most."


"You seem like a good hufflepuff," another boy says. "We'd be lucky to have you."


After many conversations about quidditch and Hogwarts, my life in America, and many things and multiple drinks, I had finally met everyone.


I walked back over to Ron who was eating snacks as Lavender approached him and began flirting with him. I sped up getting there as fast as possible without making it seem too obvious, but she was already all over him.


I could tell he was uncomfortable with her. So once as I got over to him i grabbed his hand, put it around me, and kissed him on the cheek.


"Oh, um, hi y/n, nice to see you again, I was just grabbing some sweets. Bye Ron, it was nice talking to you," she said as she rushed away. I rolled my eyes and grabbed Ron's hand,


"Come on, let's go dance," I said pulling him into the middle of the dance floor. We bumped into a lot of people, but I didn't care, this was my party and I'm gonna have fun.


"How many drinks have you had?" He asks me.


"I don't know, I lost count after two!" I yell over the loud music.


"How drunk are you?" He asks again


"Tipsy! Now stop asking questions and dance with me!" I exclaim.


The two of us danced for the next hour and a half only taking breaks to get more drinks, snacks for Ron and to go to the bathroom. I honestly didn't want to leave Ron alone anymore tonight, knowing that any chance she'll get, Lavender will jump at him.


So I kept him close, dancing, drinking, or just hanging out, he was with me. And it wasn't bad, I love him and I want him by my side for the rest of my life.


By the end of the night I was wasted, and so was Ron. He didn't have much fire whisky, but I did. Ron understood that his brother's fire whisky was strong, and not something to fuck with. But I had about three shots and was completely out of it.


Soon the party began to die down, but Fred and George had one last surprise for us. They shuffled everyone outside to watch one of their special firework shows.


It started with the fireplace flaming green and little people that looked like Riley and I appearing in it. It then showed the story of how Riley and George cell in love and their life together so far.


Once their story finished it moved onto mine and Ron's love story. It showed our picnics and our trip to muggle America, and then wizarding America. It even showed Ron beating up Liam. I laughed at that part because I remembered that I don't have to see his face at school, only the one I love, Ron.


Once our love story was finished it showed this party, and the decorations, and everyone dancing. It showed Harry going back home to Privet drive tomorrow, and then us meeting back up at Hogwarts. And it ended with Riley and I sitting down and getting the sorting hat placed on us. Before the hat could say anything those fireworks exploded into words that spelled out "Welcome Home Y/n and Riley".


That then exploded into the Hogwarts symbol, and the fireworks show had ended.


Soon the entire party had disbursed and it was only the people that mattered most, my friends and my sister. I hugged Fred and George thanking them for an amazing party. Riley began to kiss George, he picked her up and they ran into the house and up to her room.


All of us oooed and then laughed. I said goodbye to everyone and they had all gone back to the burrow. Except Ron. I grabbed the collar of Ron's shirt and whispered,


"There's no way you're going home tonight Weasley." And kiss him. I could taste the beer that he had drank earlier, but honestly I couldn't tell if that was me or him.


I dragged him inside and up the stairs by his collar. Leading him to my bedroom. I knew I probably couldn't remember any of this in the morning, but it was too hot for me to care.
