| �I can�t believe that you and Seamus are getting married!� Michelle said as she helped Stephanie hang decorations up for the hen party.
�I know. It seems just yesterday that we were at Hogwarts, throwing looks back and forth,� Stephanie said, handing Michelle more gold ribbon. �So,� Hermione interrupted. �Have you and Seamus picked your song yet?� �Our song?� Stephanie asked Hermione awkwardly. �Your song, you know, one that you dance to during the reception?� Hermione answered, pushing her curly hair from her face. �Oh, well� Seamus and I really like the song, �From This Moment� by Shania Twain,� Stephanie said with a smile. As Stephanie, Michelle and Hermione were decorating for the hen party, they heard a knock on the door. �I�ll answer it,� Hermione said, walking towards the door. It was Ginny. �Hey everyone, I picked up a few things for the party,� Ginny announced, laying her purse down on the table. �Thanks for letting me throw the party at your house, Michelle,� Stephanie said, helping Ginny with the groceries. �Anything for a friend,� Michelle said with a smile. �What have we left to do?� Hermione said sitting on the couch. �I think that all we have to do is get the food around,� Stephanie said, crossing her list off. �So, who�s all coming?� Ginny asked. �Hannah Abbot, Katie Bell, Susan Bones, Eleanor Branstone, Mandy Brocklehurst, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, and Lavender Brown.� Stephanie listed from memory. �Lavender Brown?� Hermione asked surprisingly. �Yeah, why?� Stephanie replied. �I thought that she liked Seamus?� Hermione inquired. �She did. She doesn�t anymore, she says that she met someone,� Stephanie told her. �Where did Michelle go?� Ginny asked, looking around. �I don�t know. I�ll go look around for her,� Stephanie offered, walking out of the kitchen. She looked around downstairs and then decided to go upstairs to look. When she reached the top of the stairs, she noticed that the bathroom light was on and the door was cracked open. �Michelle, are you all right?� Stephanie said as she poked her head in the door to find Michelle on her knees, with her face in the toilet. �Oh yeah, I�m fine. It�s just the excitement of the party,� Michelle answered weakly, sitting up and wiping her face. �Okay, do you need anything?� Stephanie asked sticking her head farther in the door. �No, I�m fine. I�ll be down in a minute,� Michelle said, smiling. Stephanie closed the door, and went back downstairs into the kitchen to find Ginny and Hermione fixing up the food. �Michelle just got sick,� Stephanie said pointing upstairs. �Is she okay?� Hermione asked. �Yeah, she says it�s the excitement of the party,� Stephanie replied with a shrug. |
