October ends
October quickly passed between classes and trying to plan the weddings Ginny felt like it should still be the first of the month. But she looks up and realizes that it's Friday and she will be married the next day. Harry woke up early and watched Ginny sleep, finally he whispered in her ear "Miss Weasley!" She slowly opens her eyes, good morning Mr. Potter and smiles. Harry looks at her, "Do you realize today is the last morning we wake up together with you being a Weasley?"
"I know it doesn't seem possible does it? So are you staying here at the school tonight or some place else?"
"Draco is taking all of us to the Manor tonight and we are going to have my bachelor party."
"You behave your self Mr. Potter"
"Oh I plan to Miss Weasley."
Slowly they get moving and go down to the common room, Draco is sitting on the couch reading, "So the boy who lived and the red head will be getting married tomorrow."
Harry and Ginny smile, Hermione is coming down the stairs and runs to Ginny and wraps her arms around her. "I can't believe that you will be an old married woman this time next week. Are you guys going to have a honeymoon?"
"No we thought about it and decided to wait and go some place after the two of you are married. That way we won't miss any school and we can take a week and still be home for Christmas, Harry says."
Friday drug by for Harry and Ginny, Hermione and Draco keep thinking about the fact that their wedding is a little over a month away and wondering how it will all work out.
Charms is their last class of the day. The apartment mates all run for the Common Room and grab their bags. They all walk to the front gate so they can Apparate to the Burrow. Harry and Ginny hug and he apparates them to the burrow, the others take a step and Draco and Hermione hear the pops. As Hermione starts to take the step Draco grabs her hand, Hermione looks at him and he pulls her to him. Then he bends down and kisses her as he takes the step and apparates them to the Burrow.
Molly has dinner waiting for all of them. They are going to have dinner together then the guys were headed to the Manor and then out on the town and the girls are going to have their own little party at the Burrow. Kretcher, Harry's house elf has been at the Burrow since the previous week helping Molly get ready for the wedding. When he sees Harry and Ginny he is so happy that he bows till his nose touches the ground, "Master Harry and Mistress Ginny, Kretcher is so happy to have been allowed to help with your wedding." Harry and Ginny both greet Kretcher, "We can't thank you enough for all the help you've given my mom, "Ginny tells him. Kretcher bows again, "Kretcher owes Mistress Ginny many thanks for letting Kretcher help her mother."
Soon the Burrow is full of Weasley's, Fred and George arrive with their fiancées' Percy and his wife Penelope come in followed by Bill and Fleur. And finally Arthur arrives and they sit down to dinner. Molly has magically expanded the kitchen so that they could all sit at the table. Dinner is a loud, happy Weasley affair with everyone talking over everyone else.
Draco is just slightly over whelmed with the noise and being surrounded by so many of the Order of the Phoenix…even though he fought against Voldermort he still isn't comfortable with this many of them. Hermione notices that he is looking just a little overwhelmed as desert is being served. She took his hand under the table and smiled at him. "Molly do you mind if we have desert in a little bit I want to show Draco the garden and orchard."
"Oh go ahead Hermione let me know what you think of what we have done in the garden when you come back in."
"I sure will come on Draco lets go see the decorations."
Draco walks outside and takes a deep breath, "thanks I was feeling just a little closed in."
"There are times all the Weasley's can be just a little overwhelming," as she laughs. "So what are you guys doing tonight?"
"Oh I don't know maybe a club, find a few easy women, drink some firewiskey," then Draco laughs. "Granger your face is priceless."
"Hey if you guys get some lose women we are going to find some male stripers," She smirks back at him!
"Ok no easy women for us, no really we are going to go to the Leaky Cauldron and maybe a couple bars in London I know of."
"Just remember Harry has to be back here at the Burrow by 1:00 tomorrow to get married. And remember you are an engaged guy" Hermione steps up to Draco and wraps her arms around his neck and starts kissing him, slowly biting his lower lip and deepening the kiss. Draco groans and pulls Hermione closer and deepens the kiss even more.
"Arggggg someone give me something to wipe my eyes out with," George gags.
Hermione jerks back, "Oh grow up George!" George just laughs. "Mom wants you Mione."
"Thanks," George, I'll talk to you later and she gives Draco another kiss and heads to the kitchen.
George walks over to Draco and puts his arm on his shoulder; soon Fred is on the other side of him. Draco really starts to feel nervous; "Ummm guys I need to get back and get Harry to the Manor."
"Not so fast" Fred and George respond. "We want to have a talk to you about our little sister."
"Ummmm Ginny?" "No you git Mione they respond.
"OH!"
"Yeah OH, We just want to warn you that if you hurt Mione we hurt you, and I promise it won't just be the two of us you will face all the Weasley Brothers. Mione is as much our sister as Ginny is, do you understand?"
Draco swallows, "Yeah I understand that, look guys I really care for Grrr er Hermione, I promise I won't do anything to hurt her."
"You just keep that promise and we won't give you any trouble but if you ever hurt her you will be answering to all of us!"
"I got it, now if you will excuse me I need to get Harry to the Manor so we can meet the rest of you at the Leaky Caldron at 8:00."
Draco turns and walks quickly back to the kitchen, "Hey guys we need to get moving if we are going to make it to the Caldron in time to meet rest of the group."
The guys all kiss their girl's bye and floo to the Manor, drop off their bags and heading right back to the floo so they can head to the Caldron.
Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, Lee and most of the Order of Phoenix are sitting at the Caldron when they floo in. Draco looks around and again get's that feeling he was where he doesn't belong, but he isn't going to let anyone see it.
Everyone greets Harry and the firewiskey starts flowing. Some time around 10 they all talk about going some place else but NO one is sober enough to figure out where to go. Soon Fred and George are up on a table dancing to the newest Weird Sister Song. Kingsley Shacklebolt is cheering them on, while trying to do a little dance himself.
Some time around midnight Draco looks around, Ron is shit faced he is sitting with his head in his hands with a shitty grin, Charlie still seems to be half way sober, Blaise is passed out and snoring with his head back, Harry is laughing hysterically at something, Neville is watching everyone and looks stone cold sober, and Fred and George along with most of the Order are some place between as drunk as Blaise and where Draco himself is, which is a damn good buzz.
Draco decides to get Neville to help him get the lot back to the Manor, "Hey Neville, do you think we can get this bunch back to the Manor?"
"Yeah lets, floo them there, we can stand them up in the fire and throw the powder for them."
"Charlie looks like he might be able to help some too." Draco stands up and grabs Ron and Blaise and shoves them over to the fireplace, He stands them up throws in a handful of floo powder and says Malfoy Manor. "In the meantime Neville is gathering up a few others, and shoves them in the fire and does the same. Charlie realizes what they are doing and grabs Bill and sends him to Shell Cottage, he knows Fleur will make sure that Bill gets to the wedding on time. Then he grabs the twins and shoves them and his dad into the fireplace and sends them to the Burrow.
Draco looks around the only people left are order members along with himself, Harry and Neville. "Charlie, Neville and I will get Harry poured in bed and make sure he's at the Burrow on time tomorrow if you can take care of the rest of these."
"Just leave them here Tom will take care of them, I'm going to my place and see if I can hide out from mom. Make sure you get Harry there on time tomorrow."
Draco nods and grabs Harry by one arm while Neville grabs the other. "Come on Harry it's time to put you to bed, Harry laughs and laughs and they drag him to the fireplace and disappear.
Charlie looks around and waves to Tom put them to bed when you close, I sure will Charlie! Good Night
