At the Burrow:
"So, how exactly am I supposed to act?"
"Surprised, Harry, surprised. Remember? The emotion?"
"I dunno, Gin, I'm not much of an actor."
"You've done your share of acting." Ginny reminded him.
"Acting dead and acting surprised are two different things." Harry insisted.
"Yes, well, you won't have to act dead if you don't do as you're told." She said firmly. "If mum finds out that we knew about the engagement before she did, we'll never hear the end of it. Poor Ron and Hermione, they just want it to be a surprise."
"Don't Hermione's parents know?" Asked Harry.
"Of course, Ron, being such a gentleman," Ginny rolled her eyes, "He had to ask Mr. Granger for his blessing."
"If they know, then why are they coming?" Harry asked, confused.
"Because, Harry," Ginny struggled with the zipper on her muggle dress, "It's a celebration; a celebration that we won't be able to take part in if I don't wear robes." Ginny decided, tossing the dress aside.
Harry suppressed a grin, deciding that if she was going to wear robes, he probably should, too.
"Oh, and Harry," Ginny called from her closet, "If I'm wearing robes, you probably should too."
For the second time, Harry suppressed a grin. "Dress or casual?" He asked.
"Er- make it casual, we don't want the Grangers to feel out of place in muggle clothes."
Making no effort to tell her that casual robes were no more like muggle-wear than dress robes (except that they could be found in muggle costume shops), Harry began to get dressed.
"Harry!" Ginny shrieked.
He sprinted into the bathroom where she was putting on makeup. "W-what happened?" He asked, slipping on the bathroom rug.
"We're going to be late." Ginny answered, calming down.
Harry breathed a sigh of relief. "Well I'm ready."
"Just a mo'" Ginny said, finishing up, "OK, ready."
They apparated, and Harry thought about how to act surprised.
Author's Note:
Sorry to all the people who voted in my poll, but I um... kinda... decided to go with something different than the options in my poll. (By all, I mean ONE. That's right, only ONE person voted. You know who you are ;) I don't because fanfiction decided that I shouldn't. Anyway, I am disappointed in the response that my poll got.)
