Disclaimer: What I said last time, I don't own Harry potter or any other Team Starkid references that I manage to work into the story.

Once again I was staring at my front door. I knew that it was only 5:00 and Draco wouldn't be here for at least another half an hour, but I couldn't help myself. I had spent the last hour trying to read, repeatedly standing up to look out the window, checking my reflection in the mirror, each time noticing some small insignificant imperfection in my make-up, or in my hair, or on my clothes. After I fixed whatever the issue was, I sat down again and had tried to read.

I was running through every possible scenario in my head, each one ending differently in the end. For example, one of the nicer ones that I had thought of, was that Draco would show up, right at 5:25, a bouquet of roses in his had, and a large smile on his handsome face, all of our past completely forgotten. He would offer his arm, and we would then apperate to the Leaky Cauldron, where he would already have a private parlour set up, a fine meal waiting for all of us, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Lavender, Draco and I. We would sit and enjoy a few minuets before Harry and Ginny, asking each other about our lives, our pasts, and or future together. Harry and Ginny would show up, and we would have a friendly conversation. Ron and Lavender showed, I wouldn't take away their wands, and then we all would have a civil conversation while enjoying the meal. We would leave, all friends, with plans between Ginny, Lavender and I to go shopping for our wedding gowns, all very glad that out future husbands were well off so we could splurge on our dresses. Draco, Harry, and Ron would leave with plans to get together for drinks to get to know Draco better. That was my perfect scenario. My worst scenario had Draco show up late, no flowers, with the past very firmly in the front of his mind. He would make snide comments all night, and make me pay for the food. It would end with Draco and Ron both being rushed to St. Mungo's for trying to hex each other, and Ron would not be allowed anywhere near Draco, which meant he could not come to my wedding.

I sighed and tried to read my book again. I must been able to read for a bit, or I was dozing, I'm not sure really. I jumped slightly to the crack of apparition and the ring of my door bell. I stood up, looked at the clock, 5:27, and walked over to the door and pulled it open. There was Draco Malfoy, a small purple wild flow in his hand that he held out for me and a small smile on his face. I was shocked at first; I wasn't expecting anything at all. I smiled, took the floor and stood back for him to enter my house, and shut the door behind him. He stepped in and stood there looking around my home. I took the flower and filled a clear glass with water and placed the flower in it, placing the whole thing on the end of my counter. I turned around to find that he had followed me into the kitchen. He had a strange expression on his face, it was like he wasn't sure of what to do or say.

"Thank you for the flower." I told him, breaking the silence that had been floating around us.

"Your welcome," His was gruff. "We should be off." He said, looking me up and down, not in the creepy way, but also not in the way that would make me feel like he thought that I was below him in anyway. He was just examining me, the same look of uncertainty on his face. I was dressed in a simple, but fun navy blue skirt that had a simple ruffle on the bottom hem and ended just above my knee, paired with a sky blue silk blouse. I had tamed and pulled my hair back into a half-pony tail, and had light make up on. I smiled at him and waked past him to my front door, grabbed my cloak, and pulled open the front door, and waited for him to pass me. I shut the door and locked it with a flick of my wand. Who needs keys when I have magic? We both walked silently down my front walk and, at the same time, apperated to the Leaky Cauldron.

"Thank you for doing this." I told him as we walked in.

"Your welcome" He relied again. He nodded at the barman, who led us down a narrow hall to a private parlour. There was no food, yet, but there was tea set out on a round table set for six. Draco walked over to one of the chairs and pulled it out and motioned for me to sit in it. I gave him a small smile and sat in the chair. He sat beside me and poured us both some tea. After stirring a small spoonful of sugar he took a sip and sighed. I stirred in a large spoonful and sipped it, it was good tea. We sipped quietly for a few minuets, waiting for the other to talk. Our silence was interrupted by a light tap on the door.

"Come in," I called and stood up. The door slammed and I was tackled by a flying red head, who nearly knocked me over. I laughed and hugged Ginny back after I got my balance back.

"Hi Ginny!" I said, brightly, glad to see my friend. I stepped away from her and saw Harry with a large grin on his face. I hugged him tightly. I looked between the two and notice that Ginny was holding he hands behind her back. I grabbed her left and looked at her ring. It was a stunning diamond and ruby ring, a large round cut diamond in the center, the band had diamonds on the outer edges with rubies in the middle. I squealed and showed her mine. We laughed and giggled for a good while. When I turned around to look at Draco and saw that he was staring at Harry. Draco swung his arm out and held his hand up to shake Harry's. I waited and watched Harry. Harry's eyes grew wider, and then he smiled and grasped Draco's hand, shaking it firmly. Draco smiled back and Ginny and I stood and watched this display. The two men looked at us and Ginny flung her arms around Harry, laughing. I just smiled at Draco and mouthed 'Thank you.' He just nodded.

There was another tap on the door and this time I opened the door and stepped out into the narrow hall. I walked towards the bar where Ron and Lavender were standing with their backs to the hall. I coughed lightly and got their attention. They both turned around, each with different looks on their faces. Lavender had a look of pure devotion as she looked at Ron and a look of annoyance when she looked at me, as if she thought of me as a threat. As if, I had my own fiancé and I did not want Ron. Ron had a look of annoyance when looking or talking to Lavender, and a small smile for me when he saw me.

"Hermione!" He called and gave me a big bear hug, causing Lavender to clear her throat loudly.

"Hello Ron," I patted his back lightly, "Hello Lavender." I smiled and stepped closer to her then to Ron. "Now guys, I hate to do this, but I will have to ask you both to give me your wands, just to prevent any one from hexing each other while we are talking." I held out my hand.

"Why are you taking my wand?" Lavender asked and held her nose up a bit higher.

"Because I am taking everyone's wands, even mine, giving them to the barman." I fibbed, I was only taking theirs and giving them to the barman, but they need not know that. I was counting on that we would all leave separately.

Lavender huffed and surrendered her wand as did Ron, without the huff, and I gave them to the bar man who looked them up with another collection of wands. The leaky Cauldron started taking way the wands of their patrons so as to prevent any drunken duels. I turned and led them to the private parlour, letting them in before me and closing the door behind us. Harry and Draco were talking Quidditch and Ginny was sipping some tea. Ron and Lavender filled the two leftover chairs and Draco stood up to pull mine out. I stay and murmured a thank you. I notice Ron give Draco a Death glare and Lavender looked at me with a tad of jealousy.

"Now, thank you for coming all." I started "As you all know, as pertaining to Leaky Cauldron rules, all of our wands were confiscated when we arrived." I looked pointedly at Harry, Ginny, and Draco, so they would know not to bring out their wands. They all nodded discretely, and our silent exchange went unnoticed by Ron or Lavender. "And now we can talk of how we want our weddings to be!" I said excitedly, earning a squeal from Lavender and a look of delight from Ginny, while Harry, Ron, and Draco all sighed and shook their heads. "The letter said that we must be married in three months. We are just lucky that it's June, so we can all have summer weddings. I was thinking about having mine in a church." I said thoughtfully.

"What is a Church?" Ron asked, while Lavender nodded her head at Ron's question and Draco and Ginny looked at me quizzically.

"It's where muggles go to worship God." I explained. "I went with my mum and dad before I went to Hogwarts." Ron's and Lavenders faces got a look of understanding while Ginny and Draco just nodded.

"Why do you want to get married in a church?" Harry asked, "Do you believe in God?"

"Yes," I told him, "But there is still Merlin, who we all have to believe in. I believe that good created Merlin, who then created magic. Most of it is that is where my life started and that's what my parents would have wanted." I choked a bit, my parents were dead. They died in a plane crash while in Australia. Ginny touched my hand gently. "And then I would rather be married inside, then I don't have to worry about the weather so much."

"Ah, well, I would like to be married outside, like Bill and Fleur." Ginny said. "At the Barrow, with my family" I nodded in agreement with her. "But not too big, just my family and my closest friends."

"Well I want a large wedding, one where everyone will know of my love for my Won-Won." Lavender proclaimed, causing Ron to grimace, Ginny to mime vomiting into her tea, Harry to shake his head, and Draco to choke on his tea. I patted his back as he coughed and spluttered, wiping his red face with a napkin. Lavender gave him a dirty look. I chuckled and turned back to the others.

"Well, I think for us three," Harry said, motioning to me, Ron, and himself, "It will be damned near impossible to have small weddings. We are all war hero's we are all going to be accosted no matter where we go for us to tell the world who we are to marry, when we are going to marry, and where."

I grimaced and thought of the day in Diagon Ally.

"We need to arrange times with a reporter so they can get it over with, the sooner the better." Ron said as Harry and I nodded. I noticed there was a lot of nodding.

"Well, I want to get married at Pigfarts." Draco told us and we all looked at him as if he had gone mental.

"Where is Pigfarts and what is Pigfarts." Ron asked, forgetting that he was supposed to hate Draco.

"It doesn't matter, because I don't want to fight Hermione about it. I just want her to be happy, maybe then I can keep my ears." He said, shrugging. I kicked him under the table and he winced, and then glared at me. I mouthed 'what?' and tried to look innocent, and failed miserably, because I burst out laughing at his glare. The others watched us, a look of pure loathing on Ron's face, a smile smiled on Ginny's, and had an all knowing look, and Lavender just watched me, anger clearly spelt on her face.

"Anyway, so Harry, Ron and I will all send a letter to a reporter and set of a time to have an interview." I said trying to deflect the attention.

"Okay," Ginny said "But Hermione, you, Lavender and I must set up a date to go dress shopping!" She squealed and clapped her hands together. Lavender nearly fell out of her chair from excitement, I just laughed and nodded.

"Well I'm free whenever." I said. Draco sighed and we all looked at him. "Yes?" I asked.

"When do you want my card?" He asked.

"What do you mean?"

"For the dress, to pay for it." He said and patting his pockets looking for his card.

"Oh really, I was think we could go 50/50 on it. I have money too, one of the perks of saving the entire wizarding world."

"Do you want to go 50/50 on everything?"

"I don't see why not?"

"Okay just tell me when you are going." He said, and drank some more of his tea.

"I'm hungry, can we get some food?" Ron stood up and walked out of the room, heading to the bar to order some food.

"Was he paying attention at all?" I asked, more to myself.

"I don't think so." Draco replied, "And I was hoping this would be over soon, I want to just go to dinner with just you."

"Well, I'll see what I can do."

Ron came back with a smug look on his face. "There, ordered a huge spread! I hope you don't mind sharing in the bill, eh Malfoy?"

"Actually, I was going to take Hermione for a private dinner as soon as this meeting is over, so I don't see why I should have too." Draco replied and watched with a smirk as Ron's smug look trickled of and was replaced by a look of anger. I watched as he tried to reach for his wand, forgetting that I took it away. His angry face was replaced with a look of defeat and he sat down where Lavender patted his back and glared at Draco and me. I noticed her left hand on Ron's arms and looked at her ring, she noticed my staring and moved her hand so I could have better look. It had a large square sapphire with more square cut diamonds around it, and one the band as well, all set in white gold. I smiled and carefully placed my left hand in a fist under my chin and leaned on it, flashing my ring. I noticed her jaw drop slightly and smirked.

"Anyway, Ginny send Lavender and me a letter when we can all go shopping." I told her. "I will look at different venues to hold the weddings or the receptions, see where it will be the least expensive, or have the largest amount of room." I was trying to wrap up the meeting quickly so I could get out of there before the food came. "Now does anyone have anything to add?" they all shook their heads and I stood up, making to leave. Draco got up and followed me out the door and down the hall. "I tried to get out of there as soon as I could" I told him.

"I know, thank you." He said. "Although I'm sure there are other reasons why you would want to get out of there as soon as possible." He winked. I walked ahead of him and out of the bar into muggle London. When he caught up, he offered his arm, and then we apperated to the restaurant.
