CHP 7: Pre- wedding jitters

Hermione woke with a start when she head a popping noise at the foot of her bed, reaching for her wand on her beside table she got ready to hex her intruder, not completely awake yet.

"Her....Hermion...Hermiooooone!" cried a tear filled voice.

"Ginny?!" gasped Hermione throwing back the covers and crossing to her friend. "Shh...what's wrong?" she asked enveloping the girl in a big hug.

"It... It's Harry" said Ginny with a hiccup. "He..."

"Shh...its okay Ginny, just tell me what happened."

Ginny sniffled a bit more before she continued her story, "I saw Harry, and he was with another woman." Her gaze had gone steely she looked as though she wanted to break something.

Hermione tried to keep the shocked expression off of her face, she knew Harry would never have done that; it must have been a misunderstanding.

"Are you sure Gin, are you sure it was him?"

Ginny nodded, wiping at her eyes.

"Wait, right here Ginny, I'll be right back." Hermione apparated from her room to Ron's room at The Burrow. "Ron!" she said in a soft voice not wanting to wake him up. His face was scrunched up just so, she found it adorable. "Whasawan?" he said as he sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes. He was still suffering the ill effects of a long evening out with the boys.

"Ron! Wake-up, this is serious!" she growled. Ron pulled Hermione down onto the bed next to him, snuggling up to her. Hermione elbowed him and he let out a yelp.

"What was that for?!" he yelled.

"Shhh....you'll wake everyone up. I need to ask you something, did you take Harry out this evening?"

Ron nodded his head as he ran a hand through his mussed up hair.

"And you were with him the whole evening, you and your brothers right?"

Ron nodded again "Hermione, what is this about?"

Sighing Hermione said, "Ginny says she saw Harry with another woman, she is in my bedroom sobbing her eyes out as we speak, was there a woman there tonight?"

Ron rolled over on to his back and let out a large laugh. Hermione glared daggers at him. Between laughs he managed to spit out "joke...Fred and George...Neville....dress"

"WHAT!" yelled Hermione.

"Shh...you'll wake everyone up" Ron muttered in an imitation of Hermione.

"Fred and George got Neville to dress up like a girl to surprise Harry for his bachelor's party, nothing happened, I swear."

"Thank goodness" said Hermione with a small giggle, it was rather funny.

"I got to get back to Ginny!" said Hermione as Ron pulled her back down into his arms. "Ron let go!"

Ron leaned over and gave Hermione a small kiss before releasing her.

"Ginny, it was all a joke!" said Hermione when she apparated back to her bedroom. "The person you saw with Harry was Neville Longbottom, Fred and George put him up to it. It was just a joke."

Ginny's eyes quavered and Hermione thought she was going to cry again. Ginny shoulders began to shake as she fell backwards onto Hermiones bed clutching her sides. She couldn't control her laughter.

"Oh Hermione, I am so sorry! I guess it is just pre-wedding jitters that are getting to me" said Ginny when she had reigned in her laughter.

"It's all right Ginny, now go home so I can go to bed!" said Hermione in a joking tone. Ginny nodded and gave Hermione a quick hug before apparating back to The Burrow.

Hermione crawled into her bed, but she was unable to fall back asleep. She wasn't concerned about Ginny or Harry anymore, but she couldn't stop thinking about Ron and the kiss he had given her before she had left. Were they a couple now? Did a few kisses and some hand holding count for anything? As dawn crept over the horizon, she finally slumbered.
