Discliamer: I still don't own Harry Potter. My court appeal was denied.

Not Really a Friend, Not Quite an Enemy

"Draco Malfoy!"Ginny's screech was probably loud enough to be heard by Victor Krum in Bulgaria. "You want to invite that git to our wedding! After all he did to you!"

"Yeah why not?" Harry said grinning like a Cheshire cat. For some reason it was always quite amusing to him to see his fiancée that annoyed. Maybe it was the stereotypical-ness of it all. He loved being so average. "And Dudley's invited too."

"Dudley's fine I don't care about him." Huffed Ginny, who was rapidly becoming quite flustered. "But you just can't invite Draco, you just can't!"

"Why can't I?" Asked Harry, annoyed. It was probably a silly idea, inviting him. They hadn't spoken since their secret exchange three years ago, but for some reason he felt that Draco needed to be at that ceremony. "It's my wedding too you know."

"I know, but why would you even want him there? Are you like friends now?"

"He's not really a friend, but he's not quite an enemy either."

"Oh no." Ginny said, a knowing look in her eye. "I know what's going on now."

"What? What's going on?" Asked Harry, panicking a bit at her sudden change of tone.

"He defiantly can't come now. I don't want my wedding to turn into a slash fest." Ginny said jokingly, placing her hands on her hips and staring down at him in a mock-scold.

"Slash fest? What's that?" Harry asked half-heartedly as he grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the sofa with him.

"Well it's a fest of slash." She said simply.

"Slash? Like slashing through things with a sword? A festival of tearing things up?"

"Well something does get torn up." Ginny stood up and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. He replied with enough enthusiasm to make her forget about the subject for a while. Harry's kiss had that effect on her. "I'm gonna go make dinner and then afterwards we can finish this damn guest list."

"Whatever you say love." Said Harry with an innocent smile. As soon as Ginny was out of sight in the kitchen, he wrote Draco's name on the list and then tied it to his owl's leg. He quickly sent the bird off to the Burrow where Mrs. Weasley would be waiting to write out the invites. "Whatever you say."

Everything was in order for the wedding next week. They had made all the preparations, all the invitations had been sent out, and the fittings were all done. Only one thing remained to be done, the rings. Harry wanted Ginny's wedding band to be a surprise and wanted to pick it out solely by himself. He spent the greater part of the day looking through every shop he could find in Diagon Ally, but couldn't find anything he liked. He was about to give up and go home when he came across a little muggle jewelry store just up the street. He figured it couldn't hurt, so he went in to look around. He wasn't sure what he would find in there, but he sure wouldn't 'uv guessed he'd find Malfoy in there.

"Draco?" The pale blonde turned around quickly reveling a much different face than Harry remembered. He was a lot softer looking. The sneer was gone. He was much thinner and paler (if at all possible) but a hint of happiness glistened under his seemingly miserable features. "I didn't expect to see you in here. How have you been?"

"Average I suppose." His once proud voice had fallen soft and quiet. It was most becoming on him though, almost like a man who was too distinguished to need to talk. "I was just buying my girlfriend a birthday present. She loves muggle jewelry."

"I didn't know Pansy liked muggle things."

"Oh I haven't seen Pansy since school. My girlfriend is Astoria Greengrass, Daphne's younger sister. I suppose you remember Daphne, she was a part of Pansy's little wanna-be gang. I'm proud to say that Astoria isn't at all like her sister." Draco absolutely beamed at that last sentence. It seems as though his opinions, like his appearance, had changed dramatically. "I got your invite by the way."

"Oh really?" Harry tried to cover up a smile, but failed miserably. "What do you say?"

"That I'm shocked. I can't believe you would want me there."

"Why wouldn't I? Plus I've heard that you've been in a sort of hiding since the Final Battle and I want to help you change that. It'd be a good opportunity to meet people."

"People don't want to meet me." Draco's bluntness caught Harry off guard. It was true; people didn't want to meet him. But that was only because they didn't know the new him.

"I can't make you go if you don't want to, but I'd like it if you did." Draco shifted uncomfortably. He had been in solitaire for so long; maybe this was too many people too quickly for him. "But if you rather, I'm having a stag party tomorrow at 8:00 at the Leaky Cauldron. Your name is on the list so you can come if you want."

Draco perked up a bit and gave Harry a nod. It wasn't much, but it was as close to a yes as he was gonna get. Draco left the store with Astoria's precious gift and Harry went about his business. He had almost forgotten why he was there. After about a half-hour of looking at rings, Harry finally found one that Ginny would like and went home. It had been a long and interesting day.

He was too tired to eat so he just undressed and got into bed. He was almost asleep when a thought went through his head and he began laughing hysterically. He imagined what the look on Ron's face would be when Draco showed up at Harry's stag party tomorrow. Absolutely priceless. Tomorrow was gonna be a fun day.
