Author's Note: *Slap* *Punch* * Kick* No, you deserve more than that. I cannot apologise more profusely for this long delay in my upload. I'm not going to lie, I forgot every now and then that I had to this but it was because of school! And I know that's no excuse, I do spend a lot of time doing other things, but GCSEs is nowhere near as hard as A-levels! I've also taken up a job, and it's very good pay, but that is taking up my whole Saturday! No matter, I am going to upload as frequently as I can, but truthfully speaking, I will never ever abandon this story… and I know a lot of you may be disappointed or annoyed that I've just turned out to be one of those writers who write when they want and don't care about the readers (none of you are :P), but I'm honestly not like that. I really needed to find me feet with A-levels, and now I'm on track, I'm going upload as much as I can. Again, I want to apologise as much as I can, and I hope to God that none of you ever come to know my true identity just in case you kill me for the delay :P Anway… on with the story!

Chapter 11

As Hermione woke up the next morning, she felt a sudden realization hit her. She's getting married. In 5 weeks and a few days. Time is flying. Hermione rolled out of bed, and for the first time in years, she didn't make her bed, but threw her pyjamas onto the floor, got showered and changed and was downstairs in a flash.

'Morning Mrs Weasley!' Hermione said hurriedly.

'Morning dear, what's the hurry?' the older woman asked.

'Oh, nothing, I just feel like I'm lacking in preparation here for my wedding. Actually, not just mine, we all are, and I feel immensely unorganised at the moment. And when I'm put through these kinds of situations, I don't know how to act apart from panic', Hermione said worriedly.

Mrs Weasley merely laughed at her future daughter-in-law.

'Hermione my dear, you need to calm down, you think you are going to go through this alone, and unprepared? Of course not! I was actually thinking about telling everyone to come for dinner today to discuss wedding plans, and get them started! You know, with all of my children getting married so quickly, I don't even want to miss the slightest of detail!' Mrs Weasley finished.

Hermione laughed with a relaxed tone.

'Oh Mrs Weasley, I wouldn't doubt your organisational skills for even a split second, you are one of the most down to earth people I have met in my entire life!' Hermione truthfully told her.

'Hermione dear, you are too sweet. Anyway, I was going to call you to come downstairs anyway because I wanted you to floo down to the twins to tell them to come over dinner. And whilst your there, you can take their lunch and have it with them', Mrs Weasley proposed.

Hermione thought to herself: I suppose that wouldn't be so much of a bad idea. It would give me a clear hindsight of what I'm letting myself in for with the shop… ah, better safe than sorry!

'Okay Mrs Weasley, I'll go over now, do you have all the food packed?' Hermione asked kindly.

'Here we go dear, have a good time, and be good! Make sure you bring those two back by 6:30 for dinner will you?' Mrs Weasley waved.

'I will do Mrs Weasley', Hermione waved back. And with that, she stepped in the fireplace, yelled Diagon Alley and off she went, with the sensation of being sucked into the air.

There we go! I know that's extremely short, but that's really all I have time for today! I'm so sorry! I will try and upload sometime this week, hopefully tomorrow! Again, I am so sorry, and I'd be so grateful if my readers have the heart to carry on reading with my story, and if new readers can follow/review, as I usually do shout out in the following chapter! I would be so thankful!

Until next time (tomorrow, hopefully!),
