Disclaimer: Nope.

A/N: Well this week I was busy with a little thing we have to do in England called work experience which is usually in year 10 but I had to do in year 11 because our coordinator was under the impression that a large minority of us were extremely immature and would therefore be utterly irresponsible to be sending them out on work, I had a wonderful time and everyone was so nice. The last day I got loads of thank you presents and whilst walking home I couldn't keep the grin off my face, you know that saying laugh and the world laughs with you I swear it's so true, smiling made everyone around me smile as well an old man looked so depressed and when he saw my smile I swear I'm not exaggerating he grinned, so try it people you never know what a smile can do it's what we need in this problematic world of ours. Thanks our in order to my beta mhermi and all my reviewers

Recap.

"Now that's settled we can just talk the rest of the night until Harry, Draco and Ron decide we have had enough girl time that is." Laughed Hermione.

"Ooh Mione you are so lucky, Professor Snape is gorgeous in that dark mysterious way." Sighed Lavender, Hermione blushed at this.

Chapter 13.

Tuesday 27th.

"Hey Mione have you read the daily prophet yet?" Asked Ron.

"No, I've been extremely busy, why?" Asked Hermione curiously.

"There might be something that surprises you, in a good way." Said Ron mysteriously.

"Well pass it to me, I don't have all day." Said Hermione in an aggravated tone to which Ron obliged. Hermione needn't worry about looking for a spoof article for too long because as soon as her eyes scanned the front page she knew what Ron wanted, how could she have forgotten, it must have been because of all the excitement of their "girls" meeting. The article read:

A Fall From Grace.

After two years of battling against the ministry of magic Albus Dumbledore has finally won! The Wizengamot trial of Cornelius Fudge is finally over and with only two votes to keep Cornelius Fudge in control of our wizarding community Fudge was finally booted out of office. Cornelius Fudge's insistence that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named had not returned could have destroyed our entire wizarding world. Claiming he was only doing what was best for the magical community of Great Britain, Fudge was pelted with any object ministry workers could find. Even after the appearance of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named in the ministry of magic Fudge still insisted that Dumbledore was telling us the actual facts about his return and everything else being told by him was "utter bat droppings" Cornelius Fudge insisted Sirius Black was indeed the "notorious mass murdered" we believed him to be disregarding the many proofs brought forward by Albus Dumbledore in his defence. Sirius Black was cleared of all charges and awarded The Order Of Merlin First class, which will be presented, to his God Son Harry potter due to the sacrifice of his own life to recapture Bellatrix Lestrange.

The Ministry of Magic have been very busy organising the nominations for Minister Of Magic and the self-sent applications. The Ministry have had to organise which of these are acceptable and the list of people listed are as follows.

Nominated: The Ministry Of Magic's Head of the misuse of muggle artefacts office Arthur Weasley.

Self-sent applications: Terence Midgen: Herbologist, Phyllida Scrimgeour: Arithmacy Witch, Malcolm Broomfleet: Author of Pounded by Bludgers, Emma Acromantula: Mother of three and part time star gazer.

The voting will be on Saturday 1st and will end at midnight on Sunday 2nd, results will revealed at midnight in the voting room in The Ministry of Magic.

"Mr Weasley has been nominated! This is wonderful! His was the only nomination to go through, this is absolutely brilliant!" Squealed Hermione.

"I know, this is really good for dad because he can help muggles the way he wants to if he wins because he will have the right amount of power to do so. With most of the pure blood heads of families arrested or known death eaters, he won't have to worry about too much hate mail, he can also give werewolves the appropriate rights meaning Remus will finally have it easy." Said Ron excitedly; Harry couldn't help but smile something was at least going right.

"Laws may change Ron but prejudice still exists and will do for a long time and if your dad tries to change the wizarding laws he'll have to have an excellent argument." Said Hermione looking as if her mind was over worked. "Ron I have to go back to my dormitories I need sleep and so do you if we are to go to Hogsmeade as well as Diagon Alley tomorrow!"

"How did you manage to get rid of you're entourage?" Asked Snape.

"I said I felt tired." Said Hermione simple.

"And they believed that?" Asked Snape with a smirk walking closer to Hermione. "They must be very trusting of you!" Said Snape closing the void between them.

"Of course they are, if they didn't I'd hex them into oblivion." Said Hermione simply.

"Yes well I don't think that would be such a loss." Snape whispered into her ear.

"Se- said Hermione cut off by the locking of lips with Snape, not giving her the chance to rant. In one movement his hand was underneath her shirt and was feeling the smoothness of her soft skin everywhere. Hermione was enjoying the feeling but decided to tease him a little bit.

"Severus-

"Don't interrupt me." Growled Snape at the amused teen.

"Well if that is your attitude I don't think you will be getting even the smallest of tokens." Said Hermione to a worried Snape.

"I thought you'd see it like that." Said Hermione.

"What would please you Hermione?" asked Snape longingly.

"Well I'd like to have some of the fun if you don't mind." Said Hermione mockingly.

"And what would you have me do?" Asked Snape.

"I wouldn't have you do anything but participate." Said Hermione simply pushing Snape into the nearest chair making him lean on it with his arms he knew what was coming and he was sure he'd not enjoy the cruelty of her denying his entry. Hermione wanted to see his face whilst dong this so she decided upon a teasing straddle facing him she wanted him to feel that close to her but not able to enter, Hermione began and enjoyed all the moans and groans coming from her fiancé, Snape was indeed enjoying himself however the idea of it was torture, to hell with the wedding he wanted to insert his penis in there at that very moment but it was that insufferable know it all that just would not allow it. To hell with all morals! He wanted her now. Flipping the position in one movement Snape surprised Hermione by grabbing her so lo pressing his erection into her fully clothed self, damn he may not be able to have her now but he wouldn't let her do all the teasing, he'd make her regret it. Unbuttoning her shirt and unclasping her bra he began to trace his finger along her nipple whilst still pressing his erection harder and harder each time, kissing her neck, his hand travelling towards her lower regions making Hermione moan with want but pulling it away before it reached that forbidden area.

"Severus." Breathed Hermione "Why did you do that?"

"Because Miss Granger, you needed to be taught that I am unbeatable!" Smirked Snape.

"I'll get you for this Severus." Whispered Hermione seductively.

"Bring it on." Said Snape with that irresistible trademark Slytherin smirk.

Wednesday 28th

"Hermione, we have been searching for your perfect dress for hours can we just get it made-

"GINNY." Squealed Hermione. "That's the perfect idea!"

Tonks, Parvati and Lavender just rolled their eyes.

"Hello Madam Malkin." Greeted Hermione.

"Miss Granger, how lovely to see you and don't you look lovely, you have certainly grown my dear." Complimented Madam Malkin. "How may I help you?"

"Well I'm getting married and I need to buy a dress, no not dress robes a muggle style dress and all the ones that have been ready made are horrible! I know you are the best here and you can make anything with a flick of a wand you are simply the best choice." Said Hermione knowing flattery would do the trick.

"Well I don't usually make muggle dresses but for you anything my dear." Smile Madam Malkin. "Now when is the wedding?"

"This Sunday." Said Hermione. "But it will be very small and secret so I'm trusting you with this important secret."

"Of course my dear." Said Madam Malkin. "Now I'd like to know your ideal silhouette, waist type and neckline."

"Well I never really had anything in mind but let me think, I think I'd like an a-line silhouette a strapless neckline and the waist should be natural." Said Hermione.

"My dear I have exactly what you want in mind." Said Madam Malkin beginning to take the usual measurements. Hmm I think a little detail at the back should add to the effect said madam malkin when she was almost done. "Dear why don't you try it on?"

"Thank you." Said Hermione disappearing behind a curtain with the dress only to reappear revealing the beautiful dress and the elegance it magnified, Hermione looked stunning. It was everything she had asked for and more, the waist and neckline as well as the silhouette were as she asked and attached to the waist were three bands the fabric was of the most beautiful white organza and anything less than breath taking could not describe the way Hermione looked in the dress.

"This is the dress, I love it." Said Hermione admiring her reflection.

"Yeah Mione I hate to break up the little rendezvous you are having with your self in the mirror but us five still haven't found dresses." Said Ginny cutting to the point.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry we must find you dresses!" Said Hermione snapping back to reality.

"Hermione I can do them for you like you said it is all a flick of a wand." Said Madam Malkin.

"Oh could you? You are wonderful." Said Hermione.

"Well let's start with you Miss Tonks." Said Madam Malkin.

"I think I'd like a Berry red coloured dress because it will go with my hair colour for that day also I would like it to be an a line silhouette." Said Tonks simply.

"Ah well that should take me a minute." Said Madam Malkin and true enough in a minute she was done and the simple berry coloured dress was done, a few beads were sewn into the edge of the bodice and the fabric the dress was made of was satin. Tonks seemed happy with it because she gave a little squeak of satisfaction.

"I love a happy customer!" Said Madam Malkin. "Now Miss Weasley I believe it's your turn."

"I think I'll have a black coloured dress, any design you feel is the best." Said Ginny.

"Ah well here you go." Said Madam Malkin with a quick flick of her wand, making a beautiful long black a-lined dress appear, it had spaghetti straps a beaded trim and like Tonks it was an a - line silhouette and was made out of a beautiful satin. However Ginny's face fell when she saw it.

"What is the matter dear it will look utterly ravishing on you!" Said Madam Malkin slightly angry at the prospect of a far from happy customer.

"Madam Malkin it is magnificent but I'm afraid I simply cannot afford it." Said Ginny regretfully her voice full of despair.

"Didn't I tell you? Professor Dumbledore told he had organised everything to be charged to the Lord Snape account apparently he has a lot of money and he's unable to spend it." Hermione said with a hidden wink to her friends so Madam Malkin did not see.

"Are you serious?" Ginny said excitedly all sadness evaporating. "In that case Madam Malkin thank you and of course I want it.

"Excellent now Miss Patil I can do both of you right now." Said Madam Malkin.

"I know exactly what I want, it is am Italian style satin, strapless with the bust section flocked with a floral motif in faux mini pearls, boned and with a matching scarf. The colours I want are red for the dress, black stitching and black scarf as well as black piece of fabric around the dress." Said Padma.

"Boy you know what you want, you must have been planning it for ages." Said Parvati impressed. "Well I would like Celadon, Lamour satin. Strapless A-line silhouette. Beaded trim edge, side drape, and the colour should be sky blue. I love clothes." Said Parvati.

"Well here you go ladies, you must have a thing for fashion." Said Madam Malkin. "Miss Brown what would you like?"

"I would like a dress made of L'amour satin with a silver back insert. Spaghetti strap bodice. Full skirt with back button trim and full sweep. Can you include a Matching shawl? Oh yes the colour I would like is a pale silver." Said Lavender equally as confident as Parvati and Padma.

"Lastly, Miss Lovegood." Said Madam Malkin.

Luna who had been staring dreamily out of the window only seemed to realise where she was when she was called upon. "Um I'd like a knee length lilac coloured dress." Said Luna simply.

"Well I guess this will suit you needs." Said Madam Malkin quickly making an Iridescent Spaghetti strap empire dress with a Pleated hemline, there was something about it's plain simplicity that was extremely elegant and Hermione could not put her finger on it, she hoped Draco would like he way Luna looked in it because they were after all both her friends.

"Now that you are done let me add up the costs. Now Hermione your dress is 135 galleons deary, Miss Tonks's dress is 65, both Miss Patils are 69, Miss Weasleys dress is 57 and Miss Lovegoods dress is 50 galleons. Altogether it's 445 Galleons." Said Madam Malkin. "But for you I'll make it 400 galleons."

"Thank you Madam Malkin." Said Hermione. "Charge it to the Snape account please.

"Of course deary, that is odd I never knew Lord Snape was so generous especially to his students." Said Madam Malkin suspiciously.

"Yes well I suppose Professor Dumbledore has something to do with it." Said Hermione uncomfortably.

"Hermione, where to now?" Asked Ginny when they got out of the shop.

"Um well I'd like to buy something for my fiancé, a ring to be precise." Said Hermione looking down at her own ring.

"That's good Hermione but remember we only have 4 hours left until I have to get going and you know Dumbledore wants you to have a guard." Whispered Tonks so only Ginny and Hermione could here.

"Remind me again why I have agreed to taking your best friends with me Draco?" Asked Snape.

"Well firstly Dumbledore says someone from the order needs to guard them and second of all they are Hermione's best friends as well." Said Draco.

"Right, well I've found my robes, and I would appreciate it if you could were wizard robes as well." Said Snape.

"Sorry but I'm going muggle style." Said Draco to an intensely displeased Snape.

"I guess the only ones not going muggle are myself, Albus, Minerva and Remus." Said Snape.

"Lupin is going?" Said Draco guiltily at the memory of him taunting Lupin about the state of his robes and his shabby appearance, Lupin never seemed to take it too seriously and was always polite to him.

"Yes I asked him to be my best man." Stated Snape. "Without Black I can stand him, I didn't hate him so much as the others and he was always civil I guess we have an unspoken agreement of a truce and perhaps even a friendship."

"I never thought I'd see the day you started to socialise with anyone let alone have a normal love life, if you can call this normal that is." Said Draco mockingly.

"30 points from Slytherin Mr Malfoy." Smirked Snape.

"That's absurd." Stammered Draco.

"I have a point to prove." Said Snape with a false defensive tone.

"30 points to Slytheirn." Muttered Draco when he thought Snape wasn't listening.

"I heard that Draco and to show you that I can I think I'll make it 50 points from Slytherin don't make me dock any more points off my own house." Warned Snape. "Ah Remus, so glad you could join us I think getting your dress robes is next on our agenda or I think Hermione would hex me."

Draco was surprised when he saw Remus; he thought he would still be as shabby as ever but than again he remembered that Sirius or "uncle" Sirius had left half his fortune to Remus and the other half to Harry.

"Thank you but I have already purchased some." Said Remus kindly. "Draco how good to see you, Dumbledore has told us of course where your true loyalty lies and I couldn't say that I am more happier I think Sirius would have been happy to know someone with the black blood ended up decent after all." Snape's face darkened at the mention of Sirius but Draco seemed pleased he was always fascinated by Sirius Black, he had known of his innocence for ages because his father had told him and his mother had told him the story of when he ran away though she was reluctant to speak about it at first.

"Remus!" Shouted Harry and Ron happily.

A/N: Well review and tell me what you think. I'll post the dress on my webpage the day of the wedding and i'll put the link in my profile page when I do.
