Chapter 4: Out at the Party

The weekend after Harry and Ron's trip to London passed by very quickly
they had spent the entire two days going out and shopping for Monday's
party. Everyone they had invited had jumped at the opportunity for a
party. Even Molly Weasley Ron's mother was helping to prepare the tree.

Finally Monday evening she was still fussing over the tree, "Is this
right?... Should this bulb go here?... Is the star bright enough...?"

Ron's father Arthur grabbed his wife and kissing her he said, "Molly for
goodness sake, it's FINE!"

Finally it was time. The first to arrive was Hermione. She was let in by
Mrs. Weasley, "Hermione!" She exclaimed. Then seeing Hermione's hands
overflowing with gifts lead her to the living room where Ron Harry and the
twins stood.

"Merry Christmas Hermione!" They called.

"Merry Christmas!" She replied placing the gifts at the tree's base.

In the meantime Molly had pulled the twins aside, "No funny Business!" She
warned the Trickster Twins.

As she left the others finished arriving, Oliver, Seamus and Neville. Once
everyone had arrived they sat down to dinner which was carried in by...

"Dobby?!" Harry gasped. Looking over at the Malfoy's freed house elf.

Looking surprised to see Harry, Dobby's huge eyes grew even bigger. "Harry
Potter! Oh but Dobby is glad to she you!" He cried. Then showing Harry the
sock that Harry had used to free him he said, "Look, Harry Potter Dobby
still has the sock that Harry Potter used to free Dobby from..." His voice
trailed off. He set the tray on the table that the others were sitting
around and began to bang his head against the nearest brick wall. "Bad
Dobby, Bad Dobby!"

Harry who had seen Dobby do this before when he tried to prevent Harry from
returning to Hogwarts called out, "Dobby! Stop that, remember you don't
have to punish yourself!"

The others stared on in horror at Dobby's behavior, they had not known the
treatment that Dobby had received while enslaved at Malfoy Manor. "Harry
Potter is right Dobby is sorry," he said and then planted his face into the
bowl of hot mashed potatoes that he had just set down on the table.

"Dobby!!" Harry exclaimed horrified.

The potatoes flew everywhere on furniture and on the floor and walls. With
his head buried to his shoulders he kept repeating, "bad Dobby, bad Dobby
mustn't punish Dobby anymore. Dobby is free." Then realising that Harry had
called him he raised his head from the mashed potatoes and looked around
the room he realised that him punishing himself had caused a mess. He
rushed over to the nearest wall and proceeded to hit his head against the
wall even harder. This went on for about ten minutes. Harry realising that
it was useless to try to stop the house-elf, as that would only cause him
to punish himself harder, let him continue until he was done. The others in
attendance just stared open mouthed at the sight of the elf hurting
himself.

Once Dobby had finished punishing himself he turned towards Harry and
spoke, "Dobby is very sorry Harry Potter. Dobby is..." at this the elf
blushed. "Dobby is addicted to punishing Dobby."

Then remembering the mess Harry, before Dobby could continue punishing
himself waved his want and said, "Imaculata." The room became instantly
food free save for that on the table in bowls where it should be.

"Harry!" Hermione gasped.

"Don't worry Hermione. I'm not in trouble, ever since I met Minister Fudge
he's been bending the rules for me... As long as I don't abuse it." Stated
Harry referring to the Minster for Magic Cornilius Fudge.

"Let's eat!" Exclaimed Ron.

For the next hour the room was over taken by the sounds of eating and
casual conversation.

Harry after dinner had brought out his stereo that he had enchanted to run
free of electricity and began to play some of his new discs for his
friends. They listened intently to the strange new sounds coming from the
stereo. Then time came to exchange gifts, a row ensued as to whose gifts
where they were going to open first. After several minutes the order was
decided, first they would open Fred and George's gifts, then Percy, Oliver,
Neville, Hermione, Ron and then finally Harry who had insisted on going
last.

The twins presented the group with their gifts, everyone opened the gifts
warily as the twins having a very twisted sense of humor had been known to
give exploding gifts. Fortunately there were no exploding boxes. As they
one by one revealed their gifts to one another, the twins grinned, for they
had given them gag gifts in the form of as supply each of Weasley's Wizard
Wheeze, gag items that they had invented. Even Percy received them,
although everyone knew that Percy being straitlaced would not use them.

Percy's gifts to the group were simply a supply of candy from
Honeyduke's. As each person's gifts were opened there was a round of
thanks. Finally it came time for Harry to hand out his gifts and due to the
fact that he had insisted that he be that lst one to give the gifts out the
others were most curious about what he had for them.

Harry handed the first of his gifts out to George, lifting it out of the
package that Harry had wrapped it in George looked at what appeared to be a
think balloon...

"It's a whoopee cushion," said Harry. "Here let me demonstrate..." He took
the whoopee cushion from George and blew it up, then placing it on the
closest chair and sat on it from below Harry's bottom came a very rude cry
indeed.  At this Hermione blushed, but the rest of collective let out a
snicker.

Harry then handed Fred his gift. Fred ripped it open and pulled out a round
silver object, it was almost flat.

"Thanks Harry... what is it by the way?" asked Fred.

"Ah... yet another demonstration!" Cried Harry.

"As long as there are no more gross noises," flushed Hermione.

"Promise." Said Harry.

He then placed the object in the palm of his hand and extended it towards
Fred who grasped Harry's hand in a hand shake gesture. Immediately pulling
his hand back as if bitten.

"Tickles!" exclaimed Fred.

"A Joy Buzzer," exclaimed Harry.

"We love them!" The twins burst in unison, then leapt up and kissed Harry
on either cheek.

Harry then handed Hermione her gift. She gently unwrapped it removing the
ribbon and folding the paper revealing a gold and white box. "Perfume, oh
Harry it's Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamond's!" She exclaimed pulling the
bottle from it's box and spraying some on instantly the room filled with
the heady fragrance.

Harry then handed Neville his gift, opening it Neville revealed a rather
large leather bound book with his name inscribed in gold. "It's a day
planner now you can write all the things that you're supposed to do that
day in it so you don't forget them."

"Thanks Harry... now all I have to do is remember to write them down..."
sighed Neville.

Harry then turned to Percy handing him his gift, a ribbon bound book, and
Percy looked at the title, The Importance of Being Ernest. Everyone
laughed. Even Percy.

Harry then tossed Oliver his gift, opening it to reveal a ball with a black
and white design. "A football , one of the most popular Muggle sports. As
you're a sports fan I thought that you might like it."

"Cheers Harry!"

"Now I have one gift left to give out but, before I do I think that there
is something that we need to tell everyone here..." Harry paused for a
moment looking at Ron, Ron just nodded. "Anyway here goes. This is really
hard to say but, for the past three weeks Ron and I well... we...." Harry
stuttered.

Standing up Ron finished Harry's thought, "what Harry is trying to say is
that we are dating... We're gay."

For a moment the room sat in stunned silence. Then Fred and George began to
applaud, "bravo!"

"I thought so," Hermione said simply.

Realising that everyone was fine with it Harry picked up the final gift and
holding the small box in his hands said, 'it's sort of a gift for both of
us then he opened the box to reveal two gold neckchains each held half of a
heart pendant. Picking one up Harry placed it around Ron's neck and read
it, "Harry Potter's" then Ron repeated the gesture with the other and read
it, "Ron Weasley's".

"Now we belong to each other,' Stated Harry.

A moment later Fred & George made another announcement, about them having
been seeing each other, "there we finally said it." At this no one was
surprised.

"Well it was sort of obvious, I mean you to seem to be really tight with
each other..." said Hermione in her best know-it-all voice.
