May 10th Fields outside of Burrow
A gentle breeze would blow through the fields surrounding the Weasley family home. No other sounds could be heard, Harry had gone to meet Ron there with Hermione. Bill and Fleur were there to also help deal with some of the weddings planning. Bill had been the one chosen to keep them updated with the security measures that would be taken place. The most up to date plan was that twelve Aurors would be there (all thanks to Kingsley Shacklebolt's new position as Minister). All guests will only be able to arrive and leave by portkeys as the area will be heavily charmed to prevent anyone from entering.
Hermione told them about the spells she used when the trio had been out after the horcruxes. Fleur was the one that would be helping Hermione get the perfect dress as she knew the perfect designer. Ginny and Luna Lovegood had been chosen as the bridesmaids so they were dealing with everything else that needed to be attended to.
Harry and Ron had decided to go for a walk to get a little caught up. They'd been spending less time together with all that was going on. The only thing they had spoken of lately was Ron's position as best man and also, some of the ideas that Fred and George had let him create in the shop.
"So how's things for you two?" Ron ended the silence as they sat down next to a tree.
"With me and Hermione? Great. " Harry smiled as he thought about her. "How things going for you? Anything new?"
"Um, y'know good. New? Not really." Ron said his smiling awkwardly. "Just know I won't be alone at your wedding."
"What?" Harry brightened up, staring at Ron. "Come on who is it?"
Ron would only shake his head "You'll have to either guess it or find out later on."
Harry stood up and took out his wand. "How about we duel and if I win you tell me. If I lose I'll wait."
"How about if I win, You have to wait and also try out this candy I've been working on with Fred and George." Ron beamed with anticipation as he pulled his wand.
"Fine. But you're gonna eat it if I win too." Harry exclaimed.
The two wizards stood on opposites ends of a trail, with their wands at the ready they bowed.
"Ready? I'm not gonna go easy on you." Harry teased.
"Yeah Yeah. Mr. Potter." Ron laugh.
"Go!"
Suddenly they started flinging various spells at the other. Almost dodging and attacking again in unison. Almost every move the other would copy. This would go on for minutes and minutes. Each one blocking and countering each others moves. Each were struggling to have anything actually land a hit. Ron would dive then attempt to use the disarming charm.
"Expelliarmus!"
"Protego!"
Ron's spell flew toward Harry but, before it could meet with him an invisible barrier formed and caused it to bounce off and fly away. Harry and Ron both smiled at each.
"Nice try, Ron!"
"Been practicing."
The both then stood there still looking at each other, waiting for a move. Both were itching to attack but, afraid of what they other might cast then..
"EXPELLIARMUS!" they yelled in unison. Both spells connected with the other's wand and caused them to fly back to the ground. They both sighed.
"That was a great duel. Sad it was a tie, though." a very familiar female's voice turned to see a witch with dirty blonde hair, her grey eyes on them and a smile on her face.
"Oh hey there, Luna" they both replied.
"Hello. Ron, is Ginny home? She had sent me a letter asking me to help her make invitations." She asked, smiling but keeping her usual distant look.
"Um, yeah she's inside her room with Hermione. They were both making them.." Ron replied.
"Okay, thank you. Oh and Harry what day is the wedding actually?" She questioned turning to the other wizard.
"In twelve days. That's why everyone is trying to finish up what's left. We don't have to awfully long."
"I suppose I should go help then." She smiled and then walked to Ron kissed his cheek then went on her way to the house. Ron's face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
"It's Luna?!" Harry exclaimed after she had gotten out of earshot. Ron would only nod.
"Luna and Ron. Odd but, perfect." Harry thought.
"That's absolutely perfect. Ron" He spoke with smile. Ron too smiled.
