When Plans Go Wrong

A/N: a quick refresh of the last chapter always seems helpful. Hermione and Ron got engaged, Harry and Ginny's wedding is only days away and Hermione fell pregnant and discovered it by using a Muggle pregnancy test.

Wedding Daze

'Good morning.' Harry murmured against Ginny's neck as he kissed it softly.

'Mornin'' Ginny mumbled back turning to kiss Harry properly. Suddenly she pulled away and her eyes flew open. 'Merlin's beard we're getting married today! There's so much to do what time is it?' Ginny asked sitting up quickly.

'Calm down love: it's only eight thirty I'm sure not even Hermione is awake ye-' Harry was cut of mid sentence by Hermione bursting through the door, hair freshly washed and pulled back into a low but neat pony tail, fresh faced and dressed fully in smart black boot-cut jeans and a soft cream jumper.

'Harry, you had better be wearing clothes under there: get what you need from your wardrobe and go wake Ronald please and please don't disturb Ginny and I. We have a lot of work to do. Off you go.' Hermione instructed bossily and strode over to the curtains and ripped them open exposing a sluggish, dull grey sky but with a promise of sun gleaming on the horizon.

Harry kissed Ginny once more at which Hermione turned away and started pulling Harry's tuxedo bag out of the wardrobe and a box from the bottom containing his shoes. She gave them to him before hugging him and sending him on his way. 'It's going to be a beautiful day, c'mon up and get showered. I'll sort Poppy.' Hermione said heading in to the nursery.

Ginny sighed and smiled happily as she climbed out of bed listening to thumps and bangs from upstairs.

'When do you plan to tell my brother you're carrying my niece or nephew?' Ginny asked standing in the doorway in her superwoman girl boxers and vest watching Hermione change Poppy from her sleep suit to a pale yellow dress and white tights.

'I think I'll either tell him tonight after you have got married and ask him not to tell his brothers yet and then I was thinking maybe at Christmas if we have my family and your family over for lunch here perhaps we could tell them all then?' Hermione suggested tickling Poppy's tiny feet.

'Sure that would be great, I think the sooner Ron knows and the more time he has to adjust to it the better.' Ginny agreed laughing as she pulled out a pair of pale blue skinny jeans and thin white long sleeved top with a picture of a red rose in the centre of the torso from the wardrobe.

'Right I'll be back soon will you be ok with Poppy?' Ginny asked lingering in the doorway again.

'Of course I will be, it's all good practise for when I have my own I guess.' Hermione laughed holding Poppy carefully. 'What the hippogriff was that?' Hermione asked as a sudden loud crash made the ceiling shake.

With a rush of footsteps stomping down the stairs quickly Ron and Harry burst through the doorway.

'What in the name of all that's magic are you doing?' Ginny asked checking her brother and fiancé for injuries.

'Err, well Hermione. You know how I've never really been good at transfiguration or aiming? Well Harry and I were just messing about because he poured water over me to wake me up and then it got a bit out of hand and-' Ron rambled looking at the floor.

'Ronald what have you done?' Hermione asked sternly standing in front of him.

'Well, I sort of missed Harry and well it went wrong and-' Ron started again.

'Ron!' Hermione said exasperatedly

'Turned the wardrobe into a large rock with three legs that sort of tap dances.' Ron admitted ashamedly. Hermione sighed and handed Poppy to Harry before whipping her wand out from her sleeve and rushing up stairs.

'I was only trying to turn his glasses in to a tap dancing stick insect!' Ron explained shouting after her over thuds of the tap dancing stone.

'Doesn't matter! Ginny get in the shower!' Hermione instructed.

After several loud bangs and a few shouted words the thumping stopped. Ginny headed to the shower with her shoulders shaking with laughter and stood under the hot water.

Even over the noise of the water Hermione's voice was clear.

'RONALD WEASLEY! I did not have time for fixing your spells gone awry this morning. Please don't cause any more magical errors because we are on a very tight schedule now go amuse your selves without using your wands!' Hermione scolded.

After showering Ginny found Hermione and Poppy playing peek-a-boo in the bedroom; Poppy propped up by cushions.

'How bad was the damage?' Ginny asked as Hermione used a heat charm to dry Ginny's hair quickly.

'Well the whole room was trashed and there was some pretty bad holes in the floor but thankfully I managed to fix it pretty quickly: I nearly confiscated their wands until the ceremony.' Hermione replied brushing Ginny's soft auburn waves.

At ten o'clock there was a knock on the door and Molly popped her head around the door before entering.

'You look so lovely Mum!' Ginny commented: this was true: Mrs Weasley was wearing a deep purple dress with a lilac necklace.

'Thank you pet, my robe is downstairs: I didn't want it to get dirty or ruined while I was helping you get ready. Hermione why don't you go find Luna, love? She needs her hair putting up still. Right, Ginny; sit down love and I'll get started on your hair.' Molly replied pointing a brush to the bed.

Hermione picked up her own hairbrush and make up bag and headed out the room and Ginny sat cross legged on the corner of the bed whilst her mother worked her way through the soft auburn waves and plaited sections and pinned them up on the crown of her daughters head. Before curling the rest using her wand and also pinning these around the plaits and leaving some loose.

'Beautiful, absolutely lovely!' Hermione gasped coming in the room followed by Luna.

'Would you like Luna and I to do her make-up Molly? Poppy is in the living room with Harry and Ron.' Hermione asked shutting the door gently behind them and admiring Ginny's hair.

'Thank you love, I'll go keep an eye on them: heavens know they need it and I suppose they will need to get ready soon. I'll see you soon pet.' Molly said kissing Ginny's cheek, she paused to kiss Luna and Hermione on the cheek on her way out and left with a tear in her eye.

'Right, Luna if you want to start prepping her skin I'll start on the eyes. I was thinking we should go for luminous and beautiful to highlight your light skin and maybe red lips to match the corset and just bring out the highlighter.' Hermione suggested as Ginny nodded along. Luna started rubbing moisturiser into Ginny skin and Hermione started plucking a few stray hairs from the eyebrows.

After an hour of priming and prepping Ginny was finished, natural looking eyelash extensions fixed into place and her skin flawlessly soft with a hint of brown and golden eye shadow framing her beautiful brown eyes.

'You look lovely, very stunning: I think Harry may drop dead just seeing you.' Ginny and Luna giggled awed. 'Oh Poppy! Don't you look pretty as a picture in your little dress? Who's a good girl?' Hermione cooed as Molly re-entered the room carrying Poppy in her dress.

'Right that's everything sorted. All we need now is for the bride and bridesmaids to get dressed.' Hermione bustled around the room and pulled a large white bag from the wardrobe and handed it to Molly then took three slimmer bags out and laid them neatly on the bed.

'Right Ginny get undressed, mind your hair and make up, there we go.' Molly instructed unlacing the dress. 'In you get. Hold nice and still.'

Ginny pulled her white jumper and light blue jeans off and stepped into her wedding dress. Luna and Hermione quickly laced her in while Molly sorted the skirt out and unfolded the veil.

Very carefully Molly placed the delicate veil on Ginny's head and rearranged the curls gently.

'Ok, show time everyone ready to apparate? One, two, three…' Hermione asked calming spinning into oblivion holding Ginny's hand.
