The golden trio plus Ginny and Jane were at Malfoy Manor, invited by Astoria that was in need of company and distraction for her child that hasn't had no interaction with strangers yet. Everyone was outside in the back garden of the Manor, Astoria actually in a wheelchair just because sometimes she got tired of walking, she was fighting some chronic fatigue from the pregnancy, the doctors said that it was possible due to her special condition. Blankets would paint the perfect green garden with colors and also food basket, a little short, closed in a circle, fence for the babies to rest in, none of them developed enough to actually have a play or exchanging words, the kids mainly patted each other or cuddled.
"I'm so happy you are all here today, we finally managed to find a day were everyone's free." Said Astoria with a big smile, almost bright if it could ever be possible. She did feel lonely at the Malfoys, she didn't want to say it out loud cause it was her parents fault if they didn't have a nice relationship, but everyone could tell.
"I know right with all the things that are coming up we hardly see each other, thankfully we still send letters." Replied Hermione feeding her little chicky with milk by hear breast.
"But where's Draco? He's not at work i saw his schedule the other day." Asked Harry sitting down on a blanket. Everyone was laying or sitting on one of the benches, kinda chatting kinda having some chill time, they were all still young and young people always needed chill time.
"He went to take some drinks, we figured that since we are all grown and married and with kids we could use some soft drinks, like i don't know beer." Astoria hinted, she couldn't drink but that didn't mean it wasn't a occasion to act their age. (around their twenties.) Everyone cheered and when Draco came with two casses of beer the mood started to get nicer.
"We could actually have a BBQ for dinner." Hinted Harry, he always watched the Dursley's doing BBQ but could never attend them.
"That's a great idea actually." Said Jane looking down at the four eyed guy, she was standing chatting with Ginny about Albus cute sounds.
"BBQ?" Asked Draco not used to the terminology or the whole situation.
"What's that?" He asked again with all eyes on him, Hermione let out a small laughter at Draco ignorance of muggles habits.
"Is like grilling food but outside on a grill and by us people." Replied Hermione sitting up moving her hand, pointing around a possible area to place a grill.
"Like us people not the house elfs. And no magic." Said Ron sitting up beside her.
"That's great! we've been learning how to cook and all, because we decided to let free the elfs in the near future." Announced Astoria looking at Draco that was smiling at her kiddish display of proudness. He really wondered sometimes how he ended up with such a joyful person by his side.

"I can't believe u still don't know how to grill after two years." Laughed Jane taking Draco's place at the grill. Two years ago the group decided to have a annual moment where they would clear their schedule and have a BBQ party with the nice warm weather, and they managed to keep up for two years by now, with Astoria still alive.
"It's hard ok?" Replied Draco after a long time, without adding further explanation, the duo stood at the grill, checking the food in silence. Kids were already running around in the big garden laughing and screaming.
The night came by, and after serving the hot food everyone started to have dinner, when Neville Long bottom apparated out of no where, with the most conflicted and worried face anyone ever saw on him.
