"Ginny I know that it doesn't make any sense but I have to do it, I have to see her. I believe what everyone has told me about that night, that he was a perfect gentleman, how he was the best behaved, but I have to see her for myself. Do you understand?" Hermione hoped that her best girlfriend would understand the need she had to see Bunny, to talk to her.
"I completely understand Hermione; I just don't think you should go alone. Can't I come too? I mean I know that you can't take Ron or Harry, but why can't I come?" Ginny really wanted to see the fireworks that were going to explode when Hermione confronted the stripper.
"oh Alright Ginny you can come too, but you better hurry up. I'm leaving in 5 minutes." Hermione was actually glad that Ginny was coming. Maybe she did need someone there in case she lost her temper. They were going to a muggle strip club so she couldn't use her wand.
Ginny and Hermione arrived at the strip club 10minutes later. They went straight to the bar. "I'm looking for Bunny, is she working tonight?" Ginny asked.
"Hey Bunny, there is a couple of hotties here looking for you," the bartender hollered. "Are you sure you want Bunny? Is there anything I can help you ladies with?" He was leering at Ginny's chest.
"Nope, just Bunny thanks." Ginny replied shortly.
"What can help you with?" Bunny asked.
Hermione looked at her and was almost sorry that she came here. This woman was beautiful, she was everything she was not, blond, blue eyed, big breasted. "Do you remember a tall red head that was in here for a Mates party a couple of days ago?" Hermione questioned quietly.
"Which one? There was a bunch of red heads that night, George and his brothers were in." Bunny replied.
Hermione was starting to get hot under the collar. "How about the one that you gave your phone number to?" she hollered. "Who do you think you are giving your number out to a man who is engaged to be married?"
"Bunny give out her number to a guy? You got it wrong lady. Bunny doesn't give her number out. I know I have heard her refuse hundreds of guys." The bartender spoke up.
"You must be talking about Ron." Bunny said. "You must be the girlfriend that George was spouting off about the other day. Look Lady, I don't want any trouble. Ron was a nice guy that night, he didn't leer, he listened when I was talking. He was probably the nicest guy I have ever seen walk through those doors. So yes I will admit it, I put my phone number in his pocket. I was hoping that maybe if things didn't work out with his girlfriend that he might call me. I guess I should have known that some classy girl like you would have snapped a great guy like that right up.
Take good care of him, because he's a good one. If you don't, I know plenty of others that will. Now if you will excuse me I have work to do." Bunny took off to deliver the drinks she had ordered from the bartender.
"See Hermione, that is what George had said she would say. Can we go home now? I'm really not up for staying for the show." Ginny pulled Hermione toward the door.
Once they arrived back home, Hermione was pacing back and forth. Seeing Bunny hadn't give Hermione the release she had been expecting. She really couldn't go off on the girl after she said such nice things about Ron. She still had all these jealous feelings that she needed to rid herself from. The boys should be arriving back from their mission anytime now.
"What's wrong Hermione? You have been pacing since we got back? You're still not upset about Ron and that Bunny chit are you?" Ginny asked.
"Gin I just don't know," Hermione finally flopped down on the sofa. "I've just got all these feeling of jealousy that I don't know what do with. I expected to be able to yell and scream at Bunny, but then she was saying all those nice things about Ron and I couldn't yell at her anymore. I can't yell at Ron because I've already done that and really he didn't do anything wrong. I just don't know what to do with all these feelings." Hermione felt a little better after her rant.
"Well that is the first place to start, talk about them, let them out, don't bottle them up inside. They will eat your insides and you'll explode if you try to keep everything in. I know what I like to do when I'm frustrated but I don't think you want to hear about that." Ginny laughed.
"I tried that already Gin, in the training room at the Auror office actually. It did help but then my brain took over again. I just don't want to be an angry, jealous fiancé. I want to be able to go back to normal." Hermione sighed. She ran her hand through her bushy hair.
"Hermione maybe you and Ron need to get away? Take a little vacation together, after the wedding of course." Ginny suggested.
"Ginny you are a mind reader. Ron has actually already planned us a little get away after the wedding. We were just trying to keep it to ourselves." Hermione confessed.
"I know that you have put a lot of work into Harry & I's wedding. I thank you for it, but please don't put it ahead of your relationship with Ron. I know that sometimes once you get focused on one thing you put your blinders up and ignore everything else, but please don't do that for us. Thank Merlin the wedding is only a couple of days away and everything can get back to normal." Ginny said.
"where are you and Harry going on your honeymoon ?" Hermione asked to change the subject.
"I don't know he won't tell me. I really don't care as long as it's somewhere warm and it's just me and him. Hopefully it is somewhere where no one us. I mean I love Harry, but sometimes I wish he wasn't Harry Potter, the boy who saved the world," Ginny said.
"I have a funny feeling that a little bird might be leaking the honeymoon location to the press." Hermione smiled.
"What are you up to Hermione? " Ginny asked.
"You know if the maid of honor and best man just happened to be over heard talking about the honeymoon location in a very popular pub, I'm sure that someone will leak it to the Prophet. They don't have to know that we were not talking about you and Harry, but some other couple we know who are getting married soon. Hopefully they will take the bait and go off on a wild goose chase, and you and Harry can have some peace." Hermione said.
"Hermione Jean Granger, you devil you. Have you been hanging around George too much? How did you come up with that idea? Thank you." Ginny gushed.
"Hey what is the maid of honor for? As for George, I mean you can't be around this family for as long as I have and not have a little of his nature rub off on you. It was actually Ron's idea and I just improved on it a little bit. I just want you and Harry to have a fun relaxing honeymoon, without having to worry about photographers jumping out behind trees every 5 minutes. Consider it part of our wedding gift to you." Hermione laughed. She was feeling much better after talking to Ginny.
"Thank Ginny, talking to you has made me feel so much better. It's nice to talk about normal things and get my mind off Bunny. I mean I have always known all those great things about Ron. I guess it's hard on me now that other girls are starting to notice them too. I know that Ron loves me and I'm just being silly, but it's like Lavender Brown coming back to haunt me." Hermione explained to Ginny.
"Hermione, it's always been you for Ron. He only got together with Lavender because he was jealous of you and Viktor. He was just trying to get at you and try to make you jealous. Don't you see it's only ever been you? Who's name did you call out for when he was poisoned and almost died? Was it Mom's or one of us? Was it Harry? No it was you and only you. Who was calling your name while they were trapped in the dungeons at Malfoys'? It was Ron.
It's always been Ron and Hermione. We have all known it. We had bets as to when you were going to get together which Bill won by the way. Ron just wouldn't be the same without your Hermione. You are the ONE for him, no one else compares. I know that it's the same for you. You guys are just part of each other.
I know that I tease you guys constantly, but seeing you and Ron together makes me smile. It's like everything is right in the universe." Ginny finished.
Hermione reached over and gave Ginny a hug. "I've always wanted a sister and I'm glad that I'm getting you."
"Thanks Mione. Enough of this sappy stuff, our men should be home soon and you know that Ron will be starving so I'm going to go make them something to eat." Ginny hurried off to the kitchen, but not before Hermione saw a tear roll down her cheek.
Swoosh
Ron flooed into the sitting room, Hermione ran over to him and pulled him into a deep passionate kiss. Ron took a second, but kissed her back.
Swoosh
Harry came right behind Ron and ran into him, "Mate, you need to get out of the…" Harry stopped when he saw his two best friends in their embrace.
Ron broke the kiss, "Now that is a greeting Mione, but what did I do to receive such a welcome so I can do it again." He was laying on the Weasley charm.
"Just being you, love" Hermione gave him another quick kiss. "Ginny is making you guys a snack in the kitchen."
"Great I'm starving." Ron exclaimed.
Harry slung an arm around his shoulder, "When are you not mate?" They laughed and headed to the kitchen.
a/n: This didn't turn out as good and I had hoped. I hope you still enjoy it. Wedding is probably going to be next.
