Chapter 3
Hermione sat in the Leaky Cauldron at twenty till one. She was patiently waiting for Ginny to arrive. As she glanced at the menu, a hand was placed on her shoulder. As she looked up, her brown eyes met a pair of deep blue eyes. As she opened her mouth to start stuttering in shock, Percy put his finger to her lips, and slowly started to move closer to her, with his lips slightly parted. Hermione began to close her eyes and just before their mouths touched and then( "Hermione!"
"How are you doing?" Ginny ecstatically exclaimed.
"Oh, hello Ginny. I didn't realize you were here."
Ginny just smiled, but she was relieved that Hermione wasn't upset with her that she was 10 minutes late.
"Tough day at the job?" Ginny inquired.
"Oh it wasn't too bad. We're trying to pass a law for house elves to be treated with more respect. The Malfoy's have a new elf and they haven't been("
"Oh that sounds just fascinating. We just made a date for the wedding. It's going to be July 15."
"Oh Ginny, that's wonderful! I'll definitely be there."
"I need to ask you a question, Hermione. Would you be my bridesmaid? It would mean so much to me. The only fault is that you'd have to be paired up with Ron but I don't think you'd mind too much" Ginny asked, remembering when they dated during their sixth year.
"Oh no, that's not a problem at all. Ron and I have already talked out everything and we're okay about" Hermione answered, trying not to cringe from her past memories.
She couldn't keep the relationship going with Ron because she was reminded so much of Percy by him. He started to realize that she was in love with someone else, which broke his heart because he felt so strong for Hermione. They had a huge fight just a week after Christmas and didn't talk to eachother until the end of the year when Voldemort had actually entered the castle; disguised as a first year Gryffindor.
The rest of the meal was spent talking about wedding plans, and how married life will be. Just as they were getting ready to leave, Ginny invited Hermione over for dinner at the Burrow tomorrow night.
"We'll be able to talk more about the wedding plans, and we can decide on your dress."
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow night then Ginny" Hermione said as she pushed in her chair and started to walk out the door. She decided to walk to her work and think about what all had happened. She started getting excited because she would have to be spending more time at the Burrow getting ready for Ginny's wedding. More time at the Burrow meant more time seeing Percy.
