Hermione sat in her bed thinking. She was getting married in exactly a month. She sat up suddenly. She was getting married in a month! They weren't prepared at all! She had to get to the kitchen to let the house elves know what needed to be made, she had to get the girls and go shopping for dresses. She needed bouquets and decorations for the courtyard. She sighed. So much to do in such little time. She threw back the covers and headed to the bathroom. She let the warm waters rush over her, relaxing her muscles. Once finished she did a spell for her hair and make up. She picked out a pair of jeans and a sweater. She headed over to Ginny's dorm. She knocked quietly before stepping in.
"Gin." She said once she had gotten to her best friend's bed. "Ginny wake up. We have to look for dresses today." She said.
"Oh. Okay." She said sleepily, but she didn't move.
"Gin!"
"Okay I'm up." She said. They met Luna at the front entrance and they all headed to shop.
"So what are you thinking for us Hermione?" Ginny asked as they walked into the shop.
"I don't know yet. I love the fall colors thing. I think it would look pretty." She said as they walked back to bridesmaids dresses. Luna suddenly gasped.
"Look!" She said pointing.
"Oh Luna! That's perfect." Hermione said rushing over to the dress. It was a light orange dress that came to the knees, with a brown ribbon in the middle. She grabbed two of them and thrust them at Ginny and Luna.
"Try them on!" She said excitedly. They came out and modeled.
"I love it." Ginny said.
"Me too." Luna agreed.
"Well that settles that. Now we need to look for me." She said. The girls searched through rows and rows trying to find the perfect dress. Finally they found one. It matched perfectly. It was white of course, and had a long beaded train. It was strapless with a light orange ribbon in the middle that matched the color of the bridesmaids' dresses.
"Go try it on Mione." Ginny encourage. Hermione did. She looked in the mirror, she thought she looked beautiful in the dress. Suddenly tears came to her eyes, she kept forgetting that she was marrying Fred. The Fred part didn't bother her, he truly was a great guy, but she wanted to be in love. She wanted Fred to look at her the way Draco did Luna and she wanted to be able to look at him the way Luna looks at Ginny.
"Are you going to come out?" Luna called. Hermione wiped furiously at her tears.
"Yeah. Give me a sec.."
The girls squealed when she pulled the curtain back.
"Hermione you look absolutely beautiful." Ginny gushed.
"You do." Luna said smiling.
"Fred will love it." Ginny said.
"Want to go to The Three Broomsticks?" Hermione asked changing the subject.
"Sure."
They sat at a table talking and making plans for Hermione's upcoming wedding.
"So where are you and Fred going for your week honeymoon?" Luna asked taking a sip of her drink.
"America." Hermione answered.
"America? Oh wow." Luna gushed.
"Yeah we're going to a state called Florida. It's supposed to be really nice there." She said.
"Harry and I are going to spend our week in muggle London." Ginny said.
"What about you Luna?" Hermione asked. Luna giggled.
"I don't know yet. Draco won't tell me. He says it's a surprise." She said smiling. The girls finished their food and left. Hermione decided to read until dinner. She waited for Fred in the common room. He came in suddenly.
"Hey, sorry I'm late." He said. He hugged her close. "Ready for dinner?" He asked. She nodded. They headed for the Great Hall, the walk was silent.
"So did you get your dress?" He asked once they sat down.
"Yeah. I did." She said quietly.
"Oh Fred. It's so gorgeous. Mione is going to look absolutely breathtaking." Ginny gushed excitedly. Hermione blushed.
"I wouldn't say that..." She said quietly.
"I'm sure you looked beautiful." Fred said, a smile on his face. Suddenly Blaise plopped down next Draco and Luna.
"I cannot take being married to her. Wanna trade?" He asked looking over to Draco. Draco laughed.
"Yeah right, and you guys aren't even married yet." Draco pointed out. Blaise nodded.
"I know, and if I'm this upset and insane already, imagine what it will be like when we ARE married." He said. Fred laughed.
"Oh come on, she can't be that bad." He said.
"No. She is. She calls me Blaisey." He said, a frown on his face. Hermione stifled a laugh.
"What's so funny Granger?" Blaise asked.
"I'm sorry it's just so funny." She said bursting out into laughter. She began wiping tears away.
"Fred I'll take Hermione off your hands." Blaise said hopefully. Hermione frowned.
"I'm not a little kid. So don't make me sound like one." She said causing Blaise to laugh.
"Sorry Granger, I'm truly desperate." Everyone began to laugh again.
"Oh Blasiekins!" They heard Pansy call. Hermione laughed as Draco nudged his best friend.
"Sounds like she came up with a new nickname for you." He said. Blaise glared as Pansy came and threw her arms around his neck.
"Get off me!" He said. He got up and took off running out to the hallway, Pansy following right behind him.
"Oh poor Blaise. Now see, they're a good example. He'll be stuck with someone he can't stand for the rest of his life." Hermione said. Draco chuckled.
"No, he'll eventually fall in love with her. Once she gets knocked up. Blaise is a sucker for babies." He said.
"Seriously?" Ron questioned.
"Yep." Draco answered, a smirk on his face.
"Whoa where'd you come from?" Harry asked Ron, who had just begun eating.
"Long story." He muttered unhappily.
"Lavender?" Harry asked taking a guess.
"Oh yes." Ron said. "I've got to hurry and eat, then I'm going to hide in the common room for the rest of the night."
"Oh come Ron. Draco, Fred, and I need you for a game of quidditch we were going to play after dinner, while it's still light out." Harry whined.
"Oh alright. She won't think to look there. Gin you playin?" He asked.
"You know it." She said. Harry grinned at his girlfriend. Ron was finished with his meal.
"Okay, let's get outta here before she finds me!" He said. Everyone ran out to the quidditch pitch.
