Chapter nine- Wedding Rings

________

Hermione turned and looked at Summer who was for the most part jumping up and down in her seat.

"Oh! You got him good!"Summer declared as she clapped her hands together.

"Yeah, and the wedding almost didn't happen. Seems I hit him a little too hard" Hermione giggled.

"But it did go on" She added. "And made for a pretty good wedding picture too" She turned the picture to Summer once again, so she could take a closer look.

And in the background sure enough was some sight.

Draco had Ginny pulled to him in an embrace with one arm. As the other arm held a ice pack to a bruised eye.

After a few mins of nothing but sitting in silence, Summer suggested they "Go already."

________

Sitting at the Burrow, Winter was begining to feel left out and alone. It seemed everyone had something to do or some where to go but her. Being an only child for as long as she had been she was use to attention. So this was plain weird in her book.

With the last bag packed and a heavy sigh she fell backwards onto her bed she had claimed for her stay at the Weasleys.

When a knock on the door broke her trance.

"Come in" She said, in a semi loud voice.

She had to say she was a little shocked to find Summer standing there holding her purse in one hand and a list in the other"

She smiled a small smile and said "Heard you were here alone. Thought maybe you might want to join me for some shopping. Lisa said she would take us if you want to go. I mean I know we haven't seen much of each other but we both still need a few things for school and so I thought you know maybe"

Winter jumped up. "I would love to go!" She said with a huge grin.

Summer returned the grin and repiled. "This is going to be fun"

Winter nodded and told Mrs. Weasley where she was going with a okay from her they were off.

________

Ginny stood just outside a house with a frown as two little boys ran across the lawn chasing each other. She knew how much Tori wanted a baby brother or sister, And how much she wanted a dad.

She manged to smile a little, atleast she found him, she thought to herself, as she walked by the children. She needed to find a house and she didn't have much time.

Two houses down Ginny seen a 'for sale' sign.

She was walking the old country rode in Hogsmead. Hoping that with a little luck she may find a house there.

One look at the house took her breath away it was everything she ever pictured. Two stories a medium sized yard. The perfect color and everything.

And then a sticker on the sign caught her eye. It read "SOLD" In big letters.

Letting out a sigh of frustration she turned on her heel and started back down the road.

She was just going to have to let Tori down, that she had looked and looked and she just couldn't find a house.

___________

Harry and Hermione were now sitting at a booth seat with a great view, deep in converstaion.

"Harry I don't want to leave America. I am happy with my job and I have my own place." Hermione tried to reason. Harry wanted her to move to London so it would be easier to have the girls see each other.

"But, your too far away how are they going to be able to be together at all possible times if your in a different country!" Harry reasoned back.

"OH Harry we are doing it again!" Hermione exclaimed! "All we ever do is fight! It was never like that in Hogwarts."

Harry bowed his head. "Well ,maybe we shouldn't have gotten married!" His head was bowed but his voice was harsh. Hermione blinked back tears as she tossed her napkin on her plate and stood up.

"I am sorry you feel that way. Even though, I happen to think two wonderful childern came out of it." She spat and turned and walked out.

Harry felt ashamed for a moment. He had never meant to hurt her like that, that wasn't what he wanted from today.

Putting enough money on the table to cover the bill, he took out after her.

"Hermione wait!" He hollared through the mass of people.

"I am sorry I said that back there." He said when she finally stopped and he caught up to her.

"That hurt you know!" She repiled.

He only nodded.

________

Winter and Summer were having a blast shopping with Lisa.

"Hey Lisa what about this one?" She held up a black and pink hand bag.

Lisa nodded and added. "It gives you a touch of your own style"

Of course she would probably not have a need for it at school.

"Summer what do you think?" Winter asked. She had placed a old black painters hat on her head.

Summer giggled and gave her thumbs up as Lisa threw one to Summer. "Put it on and I will take your picture."

Summer did as she was told and together, Winter and Summer posed with an arm thrown over the other's shoulder.

Lisa sucked back a sob and the girls giggled. "Lisa, lets get some ice cream" Summer suggested.

With their belongings bought they headed to get some ice cream.

________

Tori walked around her new room for a minute before deciding it was perfect. A nice purple.

With a medium size bed in the center. A pretty normal room. But it added something having it at her fathers house. Thats right a house. He had bought one a couple weeks before Tori came. But hadn't had a chance to add anything to it. It seemed perfect when Tori came that he move there right away.

And in the house is where Tori had her room.

It had several rooms through out the house but hers had to be the best she decided.

With it being a two story she had snagged the room on top looking out the front yard. Lovely.

Tori looked out the window for a second. She seen her father pulling up a sign from the ground.

And she smiled it was a for sale sign, that had a huge sticker reading 'SOLD'.

He hadn't took it down until today.

________

Ginny returned home the same time Winter did.

"Hey Aunt Ginny" Winter said placing several bags on the table and dusting the rest of the soot off of herself from the fireplace.

"Hey girl" Ginny said.

"What's wrong?" Winter asked. She could something was wrong by her voice.

"Oh nothing, just that I didn't have much luck finding a house today." she repiled.

"Don't give up I am sure you will find something." She said.

Ginny nodded and then her attention turned to the bags piled on the table.

"I see you went shopping, with who? I thought your mum was with Harry?"

"She is. I went shopping with Summer and Lisa. Oh and I got you the best thing ever."

Ginny smiled and being like a child again she started with the "Oh let me see..Let me see.."

Both of them laughed and Winter handed her a bag. Her bag was small, but inside was something special.

Opening the box that was found in the bag. She started crying.

"It's so thoughtfull Winter."

"I thought that since Tori is going off to school you may miss her alot and well. Ya know."

Winter had given Ginny a necklace set. It was a broken heart that read Mother on one half and Daughter on the other.

Ginny gave Winter a hug. "You girls are growing up you know."

Winter rolled her eyes. "Not this again Aunt Ginny" and the both shared a small laugh.

After Harry and Hermione's fight, they started walking home.

"Well we didn't cover to much did we" Hermione joked.

"I guess not." Harry said. Both of them started thinking again.

"Harry I think I may have it!" Hermione declared after a good ten minutes of silence.

"Got what? A plan for all this?" She nodded.

"Its so simple I don't know why I didn't see it before. I mean all we had to do was give in a little each and boom there was a plan" By now they had both stopped walking.

"Okay so what is it?" Harry asked getting impatient. With Hermione getting so excited it was driving him crazy he didn't know.

"Well here is what we do. We both have the money, so why not build guest houses. This way on Summer vacation the other parent goes to whomevers house it is and stays."

She made it seem so simple.

"What about work Hermione. Thats where the whole problem came into effect before." Harry said.

"Thats where we give a little."

"I work out of the house when I come here. And you when you come to my house."

"Hermione that sounds good and I think your on to something but I play quidditch, I can't just go off to America." Harry explained.

With a sigh Hermione fell on to a near by bench with Harry in tow.

"Harry?" Hermione called next to her.

"Ya?" Harry was talking to her but looking out at the passing people.

"Do you ever regret that night?" Hermione questioned in a very small voice.

Harry whispered back "yes"

"Do you think we were right to have ever gotten married?" She asked again. Questions she had wanted to know for the longest time just seemed to be coming right out of her mouth.

Again he just whispered. "yes"

"What about the girls?" She asked.

"What about them?"

"Do you think they will ever forgive us for being so stupid and seperating them?" Hermione asked.

He nodded but she was now finding she only had half his attention.

"Your hair is blue" Hermione told him. And he only nodded, now she knew he wasn't listening.

He was fiddling with the gold chain around his neck.

"Harry I am trying to be serious here." Hermione said.

"I know, but I have a big problem right now."

"What?"

"That girl over there" He pointed to a girl in the crowd with a tight shirt and skirt and cloak on. Tossing her hair over her shoulder as she passed a few guys. "Is my ex girlfriend. Not to mention the publicist for my Quidditch team. And I turned her away about a two weeks before you and Winter showed up, because she wanted to get married. Ron had to open his mouth and say I was still married. So she freaked out of course and has some reporters following me for a while. I think that's how they found you here so quick. And well you see if I am not mistaken. She is looking for me to confront me. And I just really don't need this." He finally got it all out. And turned to Hermione with the chain in his hand. She looked down at it to find three gold rings.

Her wedding rings. She had threw them at him the night she had left.

"Remember when we were in Hogwarts, we use to play a game." Hermione slowly nodded.

"When someone would try to ask me out.-"

Hermione finished it up for him. "I would pretend to be dating you, so they would leave. But I also said I would never do that for you again."

"Hermione please! Just one last time. I will do anything. You have to help me here!" He gushed. And extended two rings to her. "Please? I know I don't deserve it but, I am asking anyway."

Hermione looked from Harry to the Rings and back.

"Oh, do you owe me big time." And she slipped the rings back on her wedding finger.

It was a familar feeling. Like the first time she put them on. The feeling she never wanted to let go, and she had. She watched as Harry slipped his on. "Look alive she is coming."

And sure enough the girl was waving like no tomorrow and advacing on Harry and Hermione.
