AUGUST 6TH

The golden trio woke up in their own beds the next morning. Ron had gotten home late but not because of any reason he would have liked, his mother had ambushed him just before he was about to leave and got him measured up against Gabrielle for height as he would be dancing with her first. Harry and Hermione had only bothered leaving bed for food but Hermione had figured that it best they not spend the night together so they would have energy for the wedding today.

Each had a beautiful robe in their wardrobe in the morning, it seemed that Winky had out done herself once more. There was tonnes of time so the trio went and had bubble baths and spent the time washing away the aches from the previous day's activities, even if they were entirely different for two of them. When they arrived downstairs it seemed that Dobby hadn't gotten breakfast ready yet, which was odd for the elf.

"Dobby? Winky?" Hermione called out.

The couple popped in and were suited in gorgeous golden uniforms with a crest on their breast, containing a panther, a lioness, a fox and a phoenix. The design was just as Hermione had designed, a simple shirt and shorts for Dobby and a dress for Winky.

"Beautiful" "Bloody brilliant" "Great work Winky"

The elves blushed before Dobby popped off and collected the light breakfast for the trio to eat, as there was going to be a great amount of food for the wedding. The teens seated themselves and started to eat the wonderful food before them, noting a difference in the cuisine.

"Dobby, are you using a different spice or something, this is brilliant, though it was before too," Ron asked the elf.

"Well Masters and Mistress, Dobby issus findings a fews more free elves," Dobby grinned shyly as though not knowing if he did the right thing or not.

"That's great Dobby, where are they?" Hermione asked and just as she did, five more pops echoed through the house.

Before them were different elves, obviously from different clans, or areas, as they were different colours to Dobby and Winky's green but each on the golden uniforms Winky had made.

"Gaston, I issus from France," The purple elf stated.

"Frecia, I issus from France toos and Gaston's mate," The other purple elf stated.

"Xing, I issus from China," The blue elf stated.

"Eben, I issus from South Africa," A brown elf stated.

"Gertie and I issus from America," The last elf stated, this one a healthy orange.

"Wow, good work Dobby," Harry congratulated the elf, who blushed bright red, "Do they have rooms yet?"

The elf shook his head, "No Master Harry they issus wantings to be yours first then will share room betweens themselves."

"Now that's nonsense. We have tonnes of rooms, more than we need, so if they do want to share it has to be this way. Single males together but no more than five to a room, same with single females, but couple get their own rooms. That clear?" Hermione asked order like.

Everyone of them nodded their heads, "Right then we will take you as ours in a second, we need to finish this brilliant breakfast. Dobby I will put you as head elf and will be in charge of the others, okay?"

The elf nodded his head and thanked Harry by hugging his leg tightly. Once the trio were done eating, they took the elves as their own and got them to sort out their rooms. When they were gone Harry turned to Dobby, "Dobby this is going to be a big event, can I call on a few of the others if we need help with food etc?"

"Yessus Master Harry, we issus wanting to help wherever we cans."

"Good but not Winky, remember o keep her on a tight leash please," Hermione added on, not wanting the elf to hurt herself or the baby.

Dobby nodded and the trio said goodbye to their elves before popping off to go to the wedding.

There was all hell when the trio arrived at the Burrow. No not Death Eaters, Mrs Weasley in a rampage over something that was missing.

"Hello Mrs Weasley," Harry and Hermione said, Ron just nodded, as he was still annoyed at his mother for ruining his time with Luna.

"Oh hello you three, it's so nice to see you all here, now where are they?" Molly was going mad looking for...something.

"Mum, what are you looking for and maybe we can help," Ron asked impatiently.

"Don't take that tone with me Ronald. I'm looking for the damn rings, they've gone MISSING!"

"Oh," Was all the trio could say.

Then Ron said something really stupid, "Why don't you just use your wand?"

"MY WAND?! RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY!" Hermione pulled Ron away from the raging bull that was Molly Weasley and put Harry in the way, knowing full well that Mrs Weasley would never hurt Harry.

Luckily, the witch pulled up just quickly enough to prevent barrelling into her favourite non-related child, "Oh sorry Harry my dear, now where is that no good rotten youngest boy of mine?"

Harry pulled for time while Hermione sent Ron off to Luna's, "He wasn't meaning any disrespect Mrs Weasley, he's just hungry still from breakfast and all those delectable smells were driving him insane. That's all."

Molly seemed to believe Harry and went back to searching for the wedding rings while Harry breathed a sigh of relief, Ron owed him and Hermione a huge one for that. Finding a seat near a large dance floor, Harry sat heavily and sighed as he watched everyone race around, thanking Merlin it wasn't him that was getting married, yet saddened at the fact that he may never either.

"Howdy Harry, where's that witch of yours? We need to thank her for saving us a pretty Galleon from faulty potions," The twins walked up and sat on each side of the wizard, interrupting his time alone.

"She's saving Ron from your mother. Now what have you done with the rings mates?" Harry knew that there was foul play happening with the rings, he just needed to find out what it was.

The twins gasped and tried to look innocent as angels but failed miserably. Fred, or George, decided to explain, "Well you see, we've place a colour changing charm on the rings themselves and when Fleur and Bill say 'I Do' their hair will change colour. It's going to be great as long as Mum doesn't catch us replacing the rings later on."

Harry had to laugh at this because it was just the thing that the twins would do, only at a smaller, less harmful scale, "What no disappearing head ring? You guys are getting lazy."

"No just careful, we can change them back in an instant and be free and clear of any persecution from either family."

"Why would you be persecuted?" Hermione, who had just come back from finding Luna, asked the boys.

Harry decided to explain, to the twin's annoyance, and was relatively certain that he saw a smile hanging out there waiting to be caught up and placed on, "That's mean boys, but at least it's not a Canary Cream wedding cake."

The twins seemed to never have thought about that and whacked the other over the head for thinking it, "Damn a great opportunity wasted all because of that call back. By the way Hermione, thanks a bunch. To repay you, you are now a share holder in WWW."

Hermione grinned and shook her head, "Galleons just wasn't enough, you had to make me a part of that damned thing, ok fine but when ever it involves a female's body, consult me about it PLEASE!"

Fred and George stood and kissed both of the teens, much to Harry's dislike, on the cheeks and left the couple together. Hermione pulled a handkerchief out of her purse and wiped the area that twins had kissed on harry then kissed him there herself. Harry pulled Hermione into his lap and they started to kiss like they had the day before.

"Ahem," A professional cough that the couple knew all so well broke them from their kissing.

Looking up Hermione could see her headmistress, "Hello Professor McGonagall."

The witch was smiling slightly, a very rare sight, as she replied, "Good morning Miss Granger and to you too Mister Potter."

The teens blushed deeply but couldn't move due to Harry's slight predicament of a boner than would break the bank vault. It seemed that Minerva realised this and she blushed crimson before muttering a goodbye and racing away. Hermione and Harry started to laugh uncontrollably and that only got worse when Ron and Luna joined them.

"What are you two laughing about," Ron asked, not knowing that his fly was down and even through the robes, it was noticeable.

"Ah Ron," Harry pointed at the situation Ron was having with his robes and the wizard picked up quickly enough.

"Oh man," Ron turned towards Luna, who gracefully hid the wizard's hands and crotch while he zipped himself up.

"Better mate but next time don't forget," Harry laughed and was glad he could move without showing off a no longer present erection.

"Oh here comes Ginny," Luna pointed out.

The witch in question was walking hand in hand with Neville, and looked smashing gin the robes that someone must have bought for her, "Hey guys!"

They all said hey, though Ron looked ready to kill the wizard holding onto his little sister's hand, earning him a few slaps up the head. The group chatted for a few more moments before Arthur Weasley's voice boomed out over the property.

"The wedding is about to begin please take your seats."
