AN: Sorry about the delay of this chapter, as I have told someone before I have ben very busy with some other things as well that I am trying to do but I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Ginny sat there quietly for a seconds, not sure of what to say.
"What?" She asked.
"He kissed me."
Ginny squealed in excitement. "I want you to tell me everything Hermione, how did he do it, did he say anything?"
"I was upset and after telling me that he gave me this necklace to remind me that there will always be someone there for me he leaned in and kissed me."
"Where did he get the necklace from?" Ginny asked, looking at the beautiful item dangling from her neck.
"It was his mothers."
"He gave you a necklace that was his mums?" Hermione nodded in reply. "What does his mother think?"
"Ginny, he doesn't have a mother, that's why I said was. She died when he was young."
Ginny looked stunned. "He must have kept that quiet."
"Yeah he did." Hermione said thoughtfully.
"But back to the topic at hand. What did you think of him kissing you?"
"I don't know Ginny it was a bit of a shock. I never expected it."
"Well he must feel something for you to kiss you."
"I don't know Ginny, how do I know it's not just a slytherin move?"
"Hermione, I don't care if it is or not, he is one of the Slytherin sex gods."
Hermione blushed at her friends comment.
"Now go." Ginny said, rather seriously. "I don't want you back here until you do something with that sexy hunk of meat back at your place. I want to know if the rumors are true."
"What rumors are these?" Harry asked walking through the door. "Hi Hermione."
"Don't worry, Harry, it's just girl talk. Hermione was just about to go anyway."
Hermione stood up and walked back towards the fireplace. Just before she grabbed some floo powder Ginny grabbed her and pulled her into a hug. "I want to know all the details. No skimping on anything."
Hermione laughed. "Goodbye Ginny." She said as she grabbed a hundful and walked into the fireplace coming back out at Nott Manor.
She went walking through the house, not sure what else she could do so she went in search for a piece of parchment and a quil and sat down making a list of everything that needed doing before the inevitable wedding.
Half way through writing the list she heard someone clear their throat by the door. She jumped and turned around to see Theo leaning againt the doorframe.
"Theo, you gave me a fright."
"Sorry Hermione. I just saw you working in here and thought I would come in to say sorry."
"What are you saying sorry for?"
"For kissing you, I shouldn't have done that especially when you weren't in a very good state neither."
"Don't apologize Theo. It just came as a shock, that's all."
"What are you doing in here anyway?"
"I thought I would write out a list of things I needed to do before the wedding." She stopped and started chewing her bottom lip, a look on her face to show she was in serious thought.
"I can hear you thinking all the way other here Hermione, what's on your mind?"
"I thought it might be a good idea for you to meet my family."
"Sorry Hermione, but I thought you lost your parents."
Tears glistened in her eyes slightly before she brushed them away. "I don't mean them, I meant the Weasleys."
"What? You want me to be in a room full of Weasleys?" He stated, looking shocked before putting on his mask of calm.
"Please Theo, they are the closest thing I have to family and it would mean a lot if you agreed to see them."
Theo stood there contemplating what she had said for a minute.
"When do you want me to see them?"
"This Sunday at the Weasley family brunch."
"How many will be there?"
"Well there will obviously be Mr and Mrs Weasley." She started counting on her fingers as she went. "Ginny and Harry, Ron will be there as well as Luna, the twins, Percy maybe with Audrey, Bill and Fluer might be there as well and maybe Charlie, depends if he comes back from Romania or not. Remus and Sirius may be there as well. So about fifteen people will be there."
"Fifteen people? I'm not really that good with crowds Hermione."
"It will be fine. Anyway I will be there as well."
Theo sighed. "Fine but on one condition."
"What's that?"
"You want me to meet your friends, I want you to meet mine?"
"Who would they be?" She asked skeptically.
"Blaise and Draco."
"What? You can't be serious! I can't see them. How can you expect me to put up with them after all they put me through at school."
"If I recall that was just Draco and I will make sure he is on his best behaviour."
Hermione sat there, stuck in indesicion. "I'm not sure." she finally said.
"Please Hermione, it would mean a lot to me too if you and my friends could get along."
"Fine." She snarled. "But if I hear him call me a mudblood just once I will leave." Theo flinched at the ease that she said that word.
"Don't worry I will make sure he won't do anything. I was going to head over there anyway so I will talk to them about it then."
"Alright." Hermione said as she turned back to her list.
Theo walked out of the room and towards the floo network.
Hermione picked up her list and looked at what she had written so far.
1. I want Theo to meet the Weasleys.
2. sort out wedding date.
3. sort out venue (I think I would like to have it here out in the backyard.)
dress.
She looked at her list and started jotting down more for her list.
5. Pick bridemaids. I think Ginny and Luna would be the best idea.
6. Make a guest list of everybody we want to invite.
7. Send invitations
She looked at her list and was pleased to see that she already had one half way acomplished. Theo meeting the Weasley. She smiled to herself as she grabbed another piece of parchment and quickly wrote out a message to Mrs Weasley to tell her she will be bringing Theo along with her. She grabbed her note and walked out to find Theos owl to send it off with it. She attached it to the owls leg and watched it fly away.
Theo threw floo powder into the floo and stepped in, stepping out at Malfoy Manor.
"Theo, what a surprise, what are you doing here, sick of the mudblood being there already?"
"Draco, I would ask you to watch what you say about her, as it is that is what I came to talk to you about today."
Draco led Theo into the sitting area and offered him a seat.
"What is it Theo."
"I told her I want her to meet you and Blaise properly in a proper environment."
"You want to bring her here?"
"I told her if she wanted me to meet the Weasley's she had to sit through a dinner with you and Blaise."
"You have to spend time with those blood-traitors? Well if you can do that I guess I'll put up with it for one night. When did you want to do this?"
"When is good for you?"
"I'll talk to Blaise and let you know and if we have to put up with her, we will come to Nott Manor. I don't want her in my home."
"Fine. Owl me and let me know once you have talked to Blaise."
"Alright. I'll hear from you later." Theo aid as he stood up and walked out of the room towards the floo network.
He stepped back into his own Manor and saw Hermione by the window looking out.
"What are you looking at?" Theo asked quietly.
Hermione turned around with a slight smile on her face.
"Nothing, I just sent an owl out to Mrs Weasley to let her know that I'll be bringing you with me on Sunday."
"Come on." He said, motioning for her to come with him and took her outside to enjoy to scenery. "You just sit back and relax and I'll go sort out some dinner."
"Don't you mean get the house elves to do it?"
Theo smirked. "No, I mean I'm going to sirt out dinner for you. I'll be making the roast that you liked so much last time."
Hermione smiled. "I'd like that." Hermione laid down on the chair at the back door and relaxed as she fell asleep in the chair.
A few hours she woke up to a loud squak. She screamed in fright, jolting awake.
"Hermione, what is it?" Theo said running out. Once he got out he noticed the Malfoy's big hawk-like owl sitting outside with a letter attached to it's leg. Theo let out a small chuckle. "That's just like Draco to do that."
"You mean, this belongs to Draco?" She asked as Theo was grabbing the letter off the owl.
"Yes." He said as the owl flew away, he opened up the letter.
We will both come by six oclock tomorrow night.
He laughed again.
"Is everything alright?" she asked quietly.
"We are going to have guests tomorrow night for dinner."
Hermione looked surprised. She didn't actually expect them to actually agree.
"Come on. Dinner will be ready."
He went in and dished up dinner, bringing it to the table just as Hermione sat down. They ate dinner in quiet. As soon as she had finished she made her way up to bed. It had been a bit of a long day today and she knew she would need the rest for the next day. It was going to be a troublesome day alright.
