The Marriage Decree

December 20th

'Wow.' Harry looks up at me startled 'Why the bloody hell did you go and do that?' I rose a brow 'Did you think I'd come back to the Wizarding world without a few muggle electronics? Me mums a time traveler Harry I think I'll be okay with bringing my belongings and then some back home with me if she can.' He shrugs his shoulders tapping on the phone scene in astonishment  'Can't deny that logic.' Handing my phone to Lizzie he pushed his glasses against the bridge of his nose 'Can you?' He subtly asks her, nodding her head she plugs it in to my custom radio and turns it on snorting against her hand she turns the phone screen towards me 'Noice background.' I shrug once I see the screen saver 'Again, you and your morbid obsession with Poe.' I grin sarcastically 'Just get on my music app and play some damned music you powdered cactus pulp.' Mockingly repeating what I said she pulls up the app 'Wowie, oh wow. Oh my. Just wow. Girl, your music is absolute trash.' Snatching my phone from her hands I smacked the back of her head with it 'It is not.' I reprimand her half-seriously 'Nirvana? Akadaka? Motley crew? Every other divorced dad band and everything from Sam smith and such? All trash HOW IS SLEEP TOKEN TRASH LIZZIE?' I sputter ignoring her smug expression 'You're absolute trash!' Tossing her head back in laughter Elizabeth clutches her sides handing the phone to Harry 'Always so protective of your music.' She retaliates twisting around to grab her bag 'Just pick something already.' Ronald grumbles from the back 'Patience young grasshopper.' Harry found and put the album labeled 'Burn cruise.' on shuffle the first song that started was fast car by Tracy Chapman  'Okay this ones a banger though.' Lizzie comments turning the volume up on my radio.

Eleven hours, two Tesco stops for petrol three bathroom breaks, and two very risky smoke breaks resulting in almost getting caught with a joint in my hand by Snape of all people we finally made it to my house 'We're in the middle of the forest.' Luna chirps from behind me, currently pinned under a drooling Blaise Zabini and softly snoring Draco Malfoy 'Sort of.' I mumbled it was currently three in the morning and I was fucking knackered 'Just around the bend.' I mumbled with a yawn pulling up to the large cast-iron gate with a huge F on it I tiredly smile rolling my window down as I pulled up to the lamp post I wave my hand in front of the speaker 'What are you doing?' Lizzie asks tiredly 'Shh.' I quietly hush her 'Changeling child.' I whisper out the window. Shifting back in my seat the cast iron gate swung open 'Witchcraft.' Lizzie mumbles under her breath causing me to giggle tiredly 'You sounded like Johnny Depp each time you giggled like that in America, but now you sound pretty.' I shake my head 'I love you but sometimes I wonder if your mother ever secretly threw you out a window.' She looks out the windshield as we're pulling up the driveway way I waved my hand opening the garage door nonverbally 'Show off.' Rolling my eyes I put the van in park removing the key from the engine 'Wakey wakey, we're home.' Lizzie sings off-tune before sadly realizing no one woke up to her horrid voice she huffs getting out of the van, slamming the passenger side door dramatically 'Can't believe you rude asses.' She yells over her shoulder sighing I open my door hopping out of the van I held onto the door as I stretched my cramped limbs, twisting my torso left and right to crack my back before walking around the back of the van I unlock and open the back door carefully and gently wake everyone else up I nonverbally levitated everyone's bags out of the back and through the open door leading into the kitchen, sending them off to everyone's appointed rooms.

Kicking my boots off in the mudroom I grab a couple bundles of Fir and Yule logs on my way back in, tossing the logs in the hearth I light them with the tip of my wand throwing a few herbal bombs in the fireplace I stood up yawning against the back of my hand 'Luna needs help, she's pinned under Draco.' A spent looking Pansy and Ron shuffled across the living room towards the couch turning on the lamp next to the couch I dust my hands and sweater off 'The rooms are upstairs, yours has a pansy on the door.' I offer with a smile shuffling towards my hammock chair I sluggishly climb into it crossing my legs as I lean back 'Your luggage is already in the room, it has a small fireplace with enough wood for half the week plus extra toothbrushes and floss in the bathroom, and some extra towels too.' Pansy nods gratefully 'Thank you, Hazel.' Ron sinks on the couch 'Man this is comfy.' He stretched his legs with a groan, yawning against his closed fist 'It's supposed to be comfortable you unsharpened coloured pencil.' Elizabeth retorts snickering from the doorway, a cup of coffee in hand 'Helped myself to some hazelnut coffee, hope you don't mind.' I shrug out of my sweater 'If it's in the kitchen and you don't eat it or drink it it's your own damn fault dumbass.' She raised her mug in agreement 'Cheers.' I shake my head glancing at the fire with a small smile 'Oh Theo I told you it's warm.' Ginny's sleep-laced voice filled the kitchen 'In the living room Gin.' Ron calls out 'Thank you.' She says passing Elizabeth followed by the rest of our sleepy clan 'No problem sis.' Rolling her eyes she sits down in front of the fire and sort of just, plops laying on her side as she curls up next to the colour changing fire 'I already told those two but the girls favourite flower is painted on the door, extra towels and toothbrushes have been placed in each bathroom along with floss, the rooms also have enough wood for each night we're here, if not I'll get more.' Hermione hugs me after quickly warming up  'Goodnight Hazel.' She pulls away 'Night Mi.' Lizzie gives her a side hug as she walks past 'Night Mia.' Hermione smiles 'Night Lizzie.' Professor Snape doesn't bother with pleasantries and heads right up the stairs behind my sister 'Good night new favourite big brother!' I called after both Hermione and Snape, he actually scoffed at me. Theo taps Gin on her shoulder before squatting down next to her 'Do you want me to carry you or will you walk?' Her arms automatically lift above her head causing me to chuckle in amusement 'Alright then, no need to answer or anything.' Theo retorts sarcastically sliding his arms under her knees and around her torso picking her up bridal style he gives me a look daffodils I mouth he shoots me a look of gratitude before heading for the stairs 'Goodnight.' He calls over his shoulders 'Night Thee.' Harry sends me a tired smile 'We're off to bed, see you in the morning Hazel, night Ron, Lizzie.' I yawn against my will 'Noight Harry.' Luna laced her fingers with Blaise's pulling him away from the hearth  'Night Hazel, goodnight Lizzie.' I wave them off to bed 'Nighty night.' Standing up from the couch Ron holds out his hand for Pansy 'C'mon, I'm absolutely exhausted and know you don't sleep well unless the rooms toasty.' She nodded her head in agreement, 'Night everyone.' Lizzie waves as they pass by 'And then there was four.' She jokes as Neville shakes his head 'Wrong love, two we need some sleep too come on.' She pouts but downs her cup of coffee nonetheless before turning around heading into the kitchen, washing her mug she sets in the dishwasher before heading up the stairs after Neville.

'Let's head up to bed.' Malfoy mumbled putting out the fire 'Our room is down here.' I mumbled dimming the living room lights 'I thought you'd want space away from everyone else.' I shyly admit as he stretched his arms, dusting his hands off on his trousers he stands up and glanced around the living room before taking my hand in his 'Lead the way.' He lifts me out of my hammock chair and allows me to lead him down the hallway off of the kitchen I opened my bedroom door and shiver  'Bit chilly.' I mutter flicking the light on 'It's not what I expected.' He comments offhandedly 'You expected girly yes?' I ask over my shoulder digging through my dresser 'No, but I wasn't expecting to walk into a garden or a library.' I chuckled at his comment 'Aye, I love my plants.' Changing into some pajamas I toss my clothes into the hamper and throw my hair into a messy bun 'You can change in the bathroom if you'd like but no one will come into the bedroom.' I mutter turning around 'Or you can stare at me like a creep because that's one way to make a lass swoon Malfoy, honestly.' He undresses while I start a fire for the night, climbing into bed I flick my wand 'Nox.' The bedroom light goes out leaving the fire lit as Malfoy gets into bed 'Goodnight.' His arms wrap around my back, pulling me against his chest he places a chaste kiss against my forehead 'Goodnight love.' Tucking my head into the crook of his neck he pulls the soft fuzzy blankets over us before brushing his fingers through my hair, effortlessly putting me to sleep within minutes.
