New story! Very exciting! Enjoy!

Chapter 1:

Luna watched her best friends Hermione Granger and Ginny Potter (nee Weasley) with a dreamy smile. They were sitting on a sofa facing her, preparing themselves for whatever their friend was going to tell them.

"So Luna, what's you big news?" Ginny asked enthusiastically placing her cup of tea back down on the saucer.

"Well you know, Blaise and I have been seeing each other for a few years now," Hermione smiled encouragingly at Luna waiting patiently. Everyone had been shocked when Blaise Zabini, Slytherin's sexy strictly no girlfriend man, asked Luna Lovegood on a date, the day of graduation. Two years on, nearly everyone had accepted the couple. "And last night, he asked me, very kindly, to marry him." Ginny squealed with delight whilst Hermione's jaw dropped open.

"Oh! Congratulations!" Ginny cried wrapping her arms around Luna. Luna's expression didn't change but her eyes sparkled with happiness. Hermione quickly recovered from her shock and got to her feet to hug her friend.

"Congratulations Luna." She smiled warmly.

"Thank you. I'm sure we're going to be very happy. Now, I have a favour to ask you. Will you be my bridesmaids?" Hermione and Ginny grinned at each other. They couldn't wait.

Invitations were sent out soon after. Ron and Harry received theirs whilst having lunch with Hermione during their break from work at the ministry. She watched their expressions with great amusement as they opened their letters. Neither she nor Ginny had told the boys about Luna's engagement as they saw it as Luna's news to share. Ron spluttered at first unable to believe what he was reading.

"Luna Lovegood is getting married?" He questioned. Harry, like Hermione, quickly recovered from his shock and began to smile.

"Well good for them." He said. Hermione beamed at him. Ron continued to look shocked.

"Well of course I'm happy for her. But why him?" Ron didn't like anyone connected with Slytherin house. Harry had become friends with quite a few former Slytherin students, having worked alongside them at the ministry. He was even on more or less friendly terms with Draco Malfoy who owed Harry his life after Harry gave testimony to prove Draco's innocence.

"Honestly Ronald they've been together for two years. You must have come to terms with it by now." Hermione teased him.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I like it." Ron grumbled looking down at his food.

Draco Malfoy had been equally surprised to learn of his best friends upcoming wedding.

"Why?" was the first question out of the young mans mouth after hearing the news.

"Why do you think?" Blaise chuckled. "Did you think we would date for the rest of our lives?" Draco shook his head in disbelief.

"No I didn't think that." He replied sourly. Blaise rolled his eyes.

"Whatever. Look, I want you to be my best man."

"Of course you do." Draco smirked. "Depends. Who's going to be her bridesmaid?" Blaise's eyes twinkled at this.

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

"I'm not agreeing till you tell me. I have to sit next to her all night."

"It's someone you know. Someone attractive. She's smart, nice." Draco nodded along grinning.

"Keep going."

"Hermione Granger."

"What?!" Draco looked at his best friend in shock. "Granger, attractive?"

"Don't pretend that you don't think she is." Blaise laughed. "Everyone does. She really, what's the word, blossomed after fourth year. Even you admitted she was hot when we graduated."

"Yeah, right before you asked Luna out." Draco grinned at the memory. It was the first time he'd ever seen Blaise nervous.

"So you'll be best man?" Draco considered this for a moment. He did think Granger was pretty, very pretty. He'd resented her for it at school. As if being smarter than him wasn't bad enough. He thought about all the fun he could have riling her up at the wedding.

"Sure mate. I'd be honoured."

"Good. I'll see you tomorrow Drake." Blaise swiftly got to his feet and moved towards the fireplace.

"Got to get back to your little woman?" Draco teased. "Why am I seeing you tomorrow?"

"Because we're going to buy new dress robes." Draco groaned and Blaise turned to him with a grin. "Come on mate, what else would you be doing on a Saturday morning?"

"Sleeping?" Draco suggested. Blaise's laugh echoed in the chimney as he flooed away from Malfoy Manor.

Katie Bell sat crying on the floor in her best friends London apartment.

"Why did he do this?" She sobbed taking the tissue Alicia offered her. "Why her? Why wasn't I good enough?" Not half an hour ago, Katie had come home to the apartment she shared with her long time boyfriend Oliver Wood to find him snogging her cousin on the sofa. She hadn't said anything. She just stared at him for a moment before apparating straight to the apartment she used to share with Angelina Johnson and Alicia Spinnet. Soon the shock wore off and Katie had broken down. She knew their relationship was struggling but she couldn't believe it had come to this.

"Don't cry Katie." Angelina comforted her. "He doesn't deserve your tears." Katie only cried harder, her blonde hair falling over her face as she buried her face in her hands.

"I loved him!" She cried. Alicia and Angelina looked at each other, identical expressions of worry on their face. Neither of them wanted to bring up Luna's wedding. They had gotten their invitations that morning and had been excitedly discussing their plans when Katie appeared at their doorway. Everyone had just been waiting for Oliver to propose. It seemed so certain that he would after all this time. Then things had suddenly gone down hill when Katie's cousin turned up two weeks ago to see Katie's first match playing for the Holyhead harpies. Katie had insisted she stay with her and Oliver, trusting her cousin absolutely. She couldn't believe they had done this to her.

"Your too good for him Katie." Angelina murmured rubbing her friends back. "You're a Quiditch superstar. You're beautiful, popular, kind, beloved. And whose he? Just some lying, cheating, one hit wonder."

"Yeah! Listen to her Katie! Just think what a fool he's going to feel when he realizes what he's lost."

Katie looked doubtful. Her friends looked at her eagerly, willing her to believe them. But she couldn't. She was the one who felt like a fool. She wiped away her tears and forced a smile.

"Did you hear about Luna's wedding?"
