A/N: Sorry for the delay everyone but I've been really busy with school and life but im updating now so all is forgiven I hope, for now :)! Please read and review!
Ginny and her mother were sitting at the kitchen table going over wedding arrangements. Her mother loved the white plates with the lavender flower print, but Ginny liked the sunflower print better. Ginny and her mother hadn't agreed on one thing besides having the wedding at The Burrow. That was the only thing. Ginny sighed and leaned back in her chair, stretching her aching limbs.
"Mum can we call it a night. I'm beat."
"Oh, Ginny, can't we decide on the plates tonight, it will narrow the list down of things to do." Molly pouted, picking up the hand written list and showing it to Ginny again. Ginny groaned loudly at the length of it and put her head in her hands.
"Fine, the white plates with the lavender print. Now can I go to bed?"
Molly tutted, "Ginny if you like the sunflower print better then just tell me; it is your wedding after all."
"Mum..." Ginny started, but stopped herself. There was no use arguing with her mother anymore. But at least her mother was starting to see the picture. It was Ginny's wedding.
"Sunflower print it is. Alright, now you can go to bed love." Her mother chuckled and kissed Ginny goodnight.
"Night mum." Ginny smiled at her mother as she watched her shuffle off up the stairs and to where her snoring husband was. Ginny looked around the kitchen and memories flashed back to her. This was where she grew up. This is where her live began and all her memories were made. Now, here she was all grown up and fixing to marry Harry Potter. She giggled when she remembered one summer before her fourth year when Harry walked into the kitchen only to be screamed at by Ginny who came from the laundry room topless. As Ginny made her way up the stairs she ran her hand over the railing. She remembered the times running up and down the stairs chasing her brothers or running down the stairs on Christmas morning before everyone else got there first. When she finally reached her room she opened the door to find Harry already fast asleep. She walked over and climbed underneath the blankets and cuddled up against him. He wrapped his arm instinctively around her, hugging her closer to him. She sighed comfortably and closed her eyes, sleeping coming to her quickly.

"Okay, the girls and I have figured out what to do for your bachelorette party." Hermione announced the next day over lunch in downtown London.
"Oh really?" Ginny asked raising a curious eyebrow. Hermione nodded while Luna giggled. "I'm scared to ask what exactly you two have in mind."
"Oh Ginny just listen and you might change your mind." Hermione said sternly and Ginny smiled at her.
"Okay what is it?"
"A night out clubbing and !" Hermione practically squealed. Ginny fought back the urge to bust out laughing. She never thought she would see the day when bookworm, refined, proper, and goody-goody Hermione Granger would want to go out clubbing and do .
"What?" Hermione asked defensively when Ginny stared at her in shock. "I know how to have fun." She sniffed and took a sip of her tea. Luna was still giggling.
"I'm just not use to seeing you like this." Ginny stated, smiling at Hermione who's cheeks were turning a light shade of red.
"Well I can have fun, that's all you need to know." Hermione said defiantly.
"It will be fun Ginny. And we're going to invite Hannah too." Luna said, finally calming down from her giggling fit.
"Oh that would be great!" Ginny exclaimed, glad they thought of her best friend. "Okay, I'll give it a shot. I can have fun too you know." She said teasingly to Hermione who finally broke down and laughed heartily.

Later on that night Ginny, Harry, Hermione and Ron sat in the living room talking about the wedding and Ginny's bachelorette party.
"It's not going to be really crazy is it Hermione?" A worried Harry asked. Ginny smiled at him and squeezed his hand. She loved the way he always looked out for her. He really cared about her well being.
"Are you daft Harry? It's Hermione we're talking about it. She'll be the mum for the night." Ron said, earning a slap upside the head from Hermione. "OUCH!" He yelped, rubbing the back of his head and glaring at Hermione.
"So then I guess that means you get a bachelor party?" Ginny asked, looking at Harry who looked surprised.
"I forgot about that." He looked at Ron who had immediately perked up from the thought of a bachelor party. Ginny knew her brother was thinking of strippers and obviously Hermione did too because her eyes were wide and she hissed something to Ron who's face fell.
"So then I guess we should agree on some standards for the parties." Harry said and Ginny nodded.
"Okay, like what?"
"No strippers, nothing like that."
"Did I mention I love you?" Ginny joked and kissed him.
"I don't know about you mate, but the whole point of having a bachelor party is to have one last night of freedom. And that always means mischief, a.k.a. strippers or something of that kind." Ron stated and blocked another blow from Hermione.
"You are so disgusting Ronald!" Hermione said disgusted.
"I am a man love." Ron smiled. Hermione rolled her eyes and slumped back against the couch.
"We can still out to the bars, at least we'll still get to drink mate, so don't worry. And Hermione you know I'll be Mr. Mom of the group. So don't worry okay?" Harry said smiling at Hermione who gave him her own smile of comfort and relief.
"Okay so that's settled. No strippers or anything in the naughty sense, and Harry, I give you permission to dance with girls. Like Ron said, it's your last night of freedom, and I trust you." Harry smiled at her.
"That means a lot to me love. And you know you don't have to worry. I give you the same permission with the men who ask you to dance. And if any of them give you a hard time hex them into next week." Ginny laughed, but nodded.
"You got it." They both looked at Hermione and Ron who weren't looking at each other. "Hermione?" Ginny prodded.
"Fine. Ron, you can dance with whomever you want. I do trust you believe it or not." Hermione mumbled. Ron turned to her and gently cupped her chin, making her look at him.
"I love you Hermione, and you know I would do anything to hurt you. You're my wife and I never want anyone else. Ever." Hermione sniffled and collapsed into Ron's arms, raining his face with kisses.
"I think we better leave them alone." Ginny whispered and Harry nodded.
"Good idea." He took her hand and lead her out of the living room and up the stairs into their bedroom.
"I'm excited for the party now." Ginny said giddily, clapping her hands together excitedly. Harry chuckled.
"I am too to be honest. It will be good to get together with all the mates and have a guys night out."
Ginny smiled, "I'm glad we understand each other. It really is great."
"It sure is." Harry agreed and picked her up, placing a big kiss on her pink lips. "Now, I think we should have a little fun of our own..." And with Ginny giggling, he dropped her on the bed and began his assault on his soon to be wife.
