"Do you Ronald Bilius Weasely take Hermione Anne Granger as your lawfully wedded wife?"

"Yes"

"And do you Hermione Anne Granger take Ronald Bilius Weasely as your lawfully wedded husband?"

"…No"

That one small word changed the lives of these two people in ways that they could never imagine.

One year later…

"Hermione come here and look at this!" shouted a very familiar blonde boy as he pointed at a display of baby clothes.

"Oh my god Draco! I can not believe that you just did that!" Hermione exclaimed as she followed his finger, yet gasped when she saw the item he was pointing at. "It's just so beautiful" she muttered to herself as her fiancé wrapped his arms around her waist and left his hands to rest on her slightly swollen stomach.

"Hmm, what did I do this time my love?" he whispered, his lips brushing the tip of her ear. Moving his head to look at her face he continued, "I believe I just picked out the perfect dress for our baby girl."

"You did, you did" Hermione giggled as she looked up at him, "No need to remind me!"

"Aww my love, but it is such fun" Draco replied as he started to gently tap her stomach, "Not as amusing as Weasel's face when you dumped him at the alter though."

"I didn't get any other chance! You know how he used to treat me; either telling me what to do or trying to make out with me! As much as I feel guilty he so deserved that!" Hermione grumbled back; narrowing her eyes in annoyance as she remembered her former friend and lover.

"Ahhh! You made a much better choice running off with me. Look! I already have you pregnant something Weasel would never manage!" Draco smirked as he watched Hermione giggle in his arms.

Still giggling Hermione broke away from Draco's encircling arms and took his hand; "We should get this before someone else does" and promptly dragged him inside the baby shop. Inside the walls were lined with baby products ranging from ever-clean-diapers to magic-monitors to baby clothes. Heading straight to the clothes section, Hermione all but dived on a passing by employee with distinctive red hair.

"Ginny! Oh my god. I haven't seen you since —" Hermione's enthusiasm dropped to a mumble as she looked to the floor realising when exactly the last time she had seen her friend was.

"Yeah, since you deflated my brother's head during the wedding ceremony. Loved the dress by the way." Ginny replied as she looked Hermione up and down, "OH MY GOD YOURE PREGNANT!"

Draco, now stepping between the two women bravely spoke, "Yeah, I'm the lucky father" and was very quick to not speak again.

"Malfoy? — You're having ferret-face's kid? Jesus Hermione I didn't know you were that desperate!" Ginny quietly mumbled as she surveyed the couple in front of her before loudly saying, "And how may I help you today?"

"In the window display there's a pink dress," Hermione began while looking at her friend closely, "can we purchase one please?"

"Sure thing" the red-headed shop-assistant replied cheerily before heading off to the window to get the dress from the display and casually asked, "So how long have you two been together then?"

"Uhhh, since, uh, kinda the day after I left Ron. Uh Draco and I already had a closish friendship from working together and I was upset and we both were seeking comfort and yeah. We're expecting next January and getting married in two weeks. Wanna come?" Hermione blurted out as Ginny was turned away while Draco stood, his mouth gaping at her sudden invitation.

"What? Huh? S – a- marriage- Malfoy – you- eew – yes – ahh – wow." Ginny stumbled through her thoughts while wrestling the dress from the reluctant manikin. "The-you-and-the-ferret-and-a-baby. Wow, I never thought you had it in you Mione." She claimed as she emerged from the window with the dress in one hand and the struggling manikin in the other.

"Well you could say I've been a good influence on her" Draco interrupted smiling at the two women charmingly who were surveying him rather coolly, "I'll just be over here if you need me…"

Ignoring Draco, Ginny led Hermione to the counter, "So where's the wedding? I'd love to come, to think two weddings in two years. You know Ron's back with lavender? Stupid girl taking him back, he treats her worse than he ever treated you and she's still madly in love with him. I have no idea what is going through her head."

"Hmm" Hermione replied with out commitment as she took out her purse,
"So how much was that dress?"
