Author's Note: I'm sooo sorry that this is so late but I was really busy. Please forgive me! I will try to make it up by trying to make this as long and intensive as possible. I finally figured out how Ginny and Harry will get together and the basics about that. I thank the reviewers again-it makes me feel appreciated! I still have to cover the shower/b.party, the wedding, the day after, the next next day after that (I think) and the epilogue- I don't know how much I will get done now, I should be done soon and will start my next story (I think that it will be an l/j, cause I have some ideas, but I'm not sure about that). So, enjoy. R/R

Commencing Preparation

"Ginny!" Hermione screamed into the fireplace. "I don't know what to do!"

"Hermione..???" Ginny mumbled in the direction of the fireplace, "What are you doing up at this hour?"

"Ginny! It's 9 AM. I can't sleep and I worrying! Help!"

"Okay, Hermione, it's a little after nine, three days before your wedding; we are meeting the dressmaker for a final fitting in three hours. In half an hour, I will Apparate to your flat and we will go out for breakfast and shop and talk till we have to be at the dressmaker. We will then spend the rest of the day lounging and going to occasional meetings. Got it?"

"Okay." So, Ginny got up and called to Harry that she would be with Hermione all day and that she was showering and don't wait for her. She then showered and got ready for a day with a nervous bride.

"Ginny!" Hermione called after she Apparated. "Finally! Where are going?"

"I thought that we could go to Diagon Alley (and the Leaky Cauldron) for breakfast. Then we will shop and relax for a while, we will also make arrangements for us to go to the spa in the afternoon." Ginny replied.

"Oh. Good idea," Hermione said.

"Okay. Off we go." So they Apparated into the Leaky Cauldron for breakfast and from there they went shopping until they had to meet the dressmaker, where everything went fine. They then proceeded to finish the rest of their agenda. (A/N I can't really think of more details and I don't think that I want to so... deal with it! The day was pretty much to calm Hermione.)





Commenced and Counting

"Harry!" Ginny said in a singsong voice. "Up-y-up!"

"Ginny?!" Harry moaned, "It's early!"

"Nope, sleepy-head. Besides, we have a lot to do, today's the party!"

Harry moaned. "Ginny, still..."

"Still what?! Get up or I'll put a water charm on you, it will urge you to get up and shower! In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!!" She preformed a charm on Harry to make him, but not his bed, soaking wet.

"I'm up!" Harry said and jumped out of bed.

"Good." Ginny said, "I've already showered and I will meet you in the kitchen for breakfast in..." she checked her watch, "20 minutes. Got it?"

"Yes miss-drill-sergeant-ma'am. Right away." So, Ginny went to make breakfast and Harry went to shower and then met her in the kitchen.

"Okay, Harry," Ginny said when he came down, "I am going to be at Hermione's flat setting up, running, and cleaning up after the bridal shower. I will be there from 1 till about 6, and then we (Hermione, my mother, her mother, and all of the sister- in- laws and female children) will go out to dinner and spend time, whoever belongs there, at the Burrow until my father and all of them come home. Got it?"

"Yup. And I will be here setting up for and running the bachelor party for Ron." They finished their breakfast and started to get ready for the rest of their days. At 1, Ginny Apparated to Hermione (and Ron, who had left for the Burrow)'s flat. She kicked Hermione out (she went to her mother's house) and started to get ready for the shower. The people came to the shower and they had a luncheon, shared stories, and opened presents (everyone had the first letter of what they had to bring.) Then everyone left and Ginny cleaned up. She and all of the females sort of in her family hung out and talked and then left for dinner in Hogsmede, via Floo Powder. After that, whoever was staying at the Burrow, plus Ginny, went to the Burrow and relaxed there, the younger ones, also went to bed.

At about 11, after an exhausting day for everyone, the male Weasley's returned and Ginny left. When she arrived, Harry was almost done cleaning up (A/N I don't know what they did at the party.) So Ginny decided to wait up for him and then they could watch Muggle TV. So she went into the living room, sat on the couch, and started to a movie on TV. Harry came in during the middle of that movie (A/N I don't know what, insert the name of a non-action, most likely chick- flick good movie that is quiet or semi- quiet and peaceful.) As the next movie started to go by, Harry and Ginny started to cuddle closer and both of them started to drift into a nice sleep as the TV kept on playing.

A/N: I was going to stop here but I don't think that I could do that to you, since I haven't written in a while. All of you who also slack (I hate that word, it's so normal and icky sounding) take advice while you can!


Mmm... was the first thought that Ginny had upon drifting awake. This is really comfortable. Déjà vu! Then she started to slowly drift asleep again.

Approx. 10 minutes later, Harry started to think the same basic idea but he really woke up afterwards. Whoa? Why is something stopping me from getting up? Oh, it's just Ginny. Oh, that nice, I could get used to this... Ginny! What is she doing like this? Then he started to remember flashbacks from the night before- Ginny watching a movie- him next to her- slowly falling asleep. "Ginny?" He said quietly, unsure of himself. "Ginny, wake up."

"Hmm?" Ginny said in a mumbled sort of way. "Sleep time Harry, not wake time. Go back to sleep till the sun is out." So Harry, being a good boy, went back to sleep, though a little uneasy. The next time he woke up, it was sunny outside and the grandfather clock had just struck 11. Surprisingly, thought, Ginny was not on top of him anymore, but he heard the shower running and knew that she was in the shower. Wow, he thought, last night was really nice, but I can't be falling for Ginny. I mean, I've known her forever and she's Ron's sister, even if he's getting married, but that could be why she is staying with me not Ron- wait- what am I saying, Mollie wouldn't have known about that would she? Oh well, it's not like Ginny feels the same way; I mean it's only a crush. Nothing serious. It couldn't possibly be serious. Ugh, I have to get Ginny out of my head. I mean, even though there's no more Voldemort to hurt her anything, it's still not right, right?

Little did he know what Ginny was thinking...

A/N: Okay, it's still a cliffhanger but it's not nearly as bad, right? Okay, I'll try to work on this some more. I think that I will put one part for the rehearsal dinner/wedding/reception, one part for the next two days, and an epilogue (about 3 parts). So tell me what you think! R/R, as always! And write, too. SARAH
