Thank you

Review!

-The End-

Now after that slightly awkward moment let us progress full speed ahead into Christmas Break! Vacation all I ever wanted! Vacation all I ever needed! Hah...so true...anywhoo...wow I'm rhyming lots today like Dr. Seuss. So I hope you guys all have spectacular plans for Christmas or if you don't celebrate Christmas, spectacular plans for what you'll do while others are celebrating the holidays.

brokentoy19: Oh hey, thanks. Heh...yeah the spaghetti was just a rapper-upper. But I'm happy to hear you liked it. )

ellen2321: LOL. It was painful to write so horribly and let's hope that talent never comes naturally to me! Now to the A part of the Q&A. They were eating all sorts of food. Hermione bought Chinese, Italien(I mean as in spaghetti not pizza), Indian, and even some fascinating Wizard crossovers. Well Harry's inviting Luna otherwise she couldn't have attended since she's a year younger. Hermione doesn't need a guest since she'll be with Seamus and Ron, well, is sans guest at the moment. They're messing up the grammar because they're trying to cover up for letting Hermione's engagement announcement slip. And it doesn't make sense because, well, they're not to bright, are they? And last but not least, Harry is a good guy. And he is not cheating no matter what it may seem like. Hope you got all the answers you needed for this week, and thank you!

Brooke Monica: Nope he wasn't at all. Then again most people aren't very fab at cover-ups. Don't worry about Harry, he's more innocent then Ron's mind is leading him to believe. Oh and thanks for your review too!

Sweetthang0013: Thanks. YEAH! The holidays always rock my socks. Hehe I'm glad I got the thumbs up for the spaghetti in the straw bit and the dream. Kill Seamus? Er, not yet. Thanks again!

Chrismukkah-hunnie: Thank you. At least someone thought it wasn't useless. But it was kinda a filler chapter. Hah...keep on truckin'. That's coolios.

MeryKey-7: LOL. I keep Ron's dream is the fantasy of many people. Oh the witch's name was the Wicked Witch of the West. (This is coming from a girl who played her in a play in grade five) Harry is...not the person he seems right now. He's a good person with good morals, everybody needs to remember that. And Ron's suspicions aren't always going to be right...lol. I like some pointless stories myself. Anywhoo thanks for reviewing!

dancerrdw: Lol...that's like me everynight. ((sighs)) Actually nah...that's my friend everynight. I'm a pretty good speller. Anyways hope you enjoy this chappie and thanks so much for reviewing!

PinkyTheSnowman: Yeah you did but you signed Pinky on the end so yep. Yeah it was a filler chapter. Oh and I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reviewing too! (P.S. What's with men and not showering anyways?)

kamplified: Thanks! I live on ridiculous dreams! Thank god it isn't real or I don't think I would've lasted very long on this site.

Mental357: Hmm...she missed that little detail I guess (more like I missed it). Anywhoo thank you and enjoy the craziness!

Silver Ice: Yeah the boys were not to careful. Thank you! I hope you get through those last days of school! Oh and after this I'll have one more update minimum before Christmas.

piratingspiderelf: I haven't been very fond of him since he hassled Harry either. That's why I chose him particularly for this part. Thanks for reviewing too!

justdreem: Um...did you finish the chapter? Seamus isn't really dead...his parents aren't really happy over it. lol. Or are you j/k? Either way thanks for your review.

annabanana: Hey I'm glad your loving the story. Oh I have a friend named Anna, except her name is spelled Annah. Anywhoo our gym teacher always calls her Annah-Banana. Coolios! Thanks for reviewing too!

Loki10125: Thanks so much!

ilovedorks3: Hah...you're the second person to tell me that. And many other more people have mentioned their birthdays are in February! I'll have to be betterly reminded as the birthdays roll along. Thanks for your review btw.

AmyChris: Thanks for being so enthusiastic about it. I'll try with the updates but I've got too many things going on lately. Like right now I've received an email...ahh whatever to the story!

Mortari: I do that too sometimes. You won't believe the stuff I'll do to avoid cleaning or doing any chores for that matter. Anywhoo thanks for your review!

lindsey-31: Hey, it's nice to hear from you again. Don't worry about Harry, he's a better guy than it seemed in the last chappie. Thanks for your review too!

LunaAqua: To answer your question, No Harry didn't do what everyone thinks he did. But something is going on. Yes the dream was...interesting and very Ron-esque. So was almost letting the 'secret' engagement slip. Thank you for your review also!

Sabrina: It's gunna be a real bummer ending this story since I love it so much and it did so well but I'm going to have to. I already have another story that's just dying to be written. Wow...that was a lot of bumps...it's almost the type of thing I would've done when bored. OH and I think I still have one more update before Christmas. Thanks for your review too.

Nandinha Shinomori: Yeah we're all pretty creative sometimes lol. The ending is really in the works though. Anyways...That's a queer thing about the spelling of BrasilBrazil. Oh well I'll never understand languages...thanks for your review tho!

angelps7: Haha...you're loving it, eh? Wow...wait till you read this chapter. And also thank you for your review.

Nymphomaniac: LOL...Don't tell me...I was fighting the urge to keep him dead for a moment. Yeah there's a reunion but it'll be a few chapters before we get to that. The Becky-Harry thing has nothing to do with Fred and George. It's between them...ANYWAYS thank you for reviewing!

Jnx: Yeah I had a very good mental picture of that too. I'm sure many, MANY people see nothing wrong with that. Well to those who do...it was rather funny but all I say to you is thank you for reviewing!

Tristic: Thanks for all the reviews. And what ever made you think they'd be annoying? There were only-what?-1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8 reviews! LOL...no I'm totally j/k. I love reviews! It's what I live on! Thanks again!

gonzogirl: Hah...thank you! I hope you enjoy this chapter too!

carabeara: Thanks!

Balewilyiel: Yes 'twas very interesting...Thanks for your review too!

Ron had once heard that 'Girl's Night Out' was a Muggle phrase for a night that came very seldom throughout a year for a woman. It was the time for her to go all out with her 'girlfriends' and have some fun. Dance the night away. Get drunk perhaps? And if any bloke was lucky, she'd sleep with him. Well to hell with that because tonight Ron, Harry and a few of the guys were going to have a night so spontaneous it would put 'Girl's Night Out' to shame.

For Harry's Bachelor Partythey had rented out a large room in Night Black, the busiest Wizard Nightclub in London. Of course it wasn't quite so hard as you might expect. Night Black was honored to be the host for Harry Potter's Bachelor Party. After this information had gotten out Witch Weekly had kicked Night Black up to number one on it's top ten list of Nightclubs. It had beated out a very furious and insulted Pointy Hat Conection.

Even though the party was set to start at nine, Harry and Ron had arrived five to make sure everything was going according to plan. You may wonder what Ron was doing being so buddy-buddy with Harry once again. Ron decided to give Harry his bachelor party a day to go wild and he wasn't going to wreck it by being sulky. No mention of Becky...for now.

"Mr. Potter, this is our Alcohol Menu. Please, select whatever type of drink you would like us to serve at your party tonight," the Manager of Night Black offered.

Harry took the velvety menu gingerly but before he could open it Ron snapped it out of his hand and handed it back to the Manager.

"Listen Mr.?-

"-Gafir, Mr. Weasley," The Manager responded looking mildly surprised.

"Yeah, well, who are you kidding here? You think we want one of your alcohol items?" Ron said in an accusatary tones.

"Why-why yes Mr. Weasley. We offer the best in world quality wines and liquor. We select beverages from only the best wineries-

Ron rolled his eyes, "I don't care about that. What I'm trying to say is, we don't want one of your alcoholic beverages. We want them all."

The Manager looked from Harry to Ron indignantly and replied, "The cost will be very high, sir."

"We can handle it," Ron responded turning towards Harry in a manner of dismissing the Manager from their prescense. He stuck up his nose and strolled away.

"All types of drinks. That's a brilliant idea mate" Harry grinned.

"Yes it is one of my more better ideas, even if I do say so, myself" Ron said smugly, "So about tonight, who've you invited?"

Harry scrunched up his face in thought, "Erm...your brothers, Neville, Dean, some guys from work, Seamus..."

"Seamus?" Ron commented quickly.

"Yeah, you don't mind, do you mate? 'Cause I wasn't hyped up to do it. Luna sort of made me. A gesture of politeness or whatever" Harry clarified.

"Mind? Me? No, no..." Ron fibbed, "I mean, it'll be great. All, us, all dorm-mates back together again."

"Sure will...," Harry trailed off, "Listen could you apparate to Rosamerlicks and check in on Luna and how she's getting along with her party?"

"Ok" Ron answered getting that odd he's-hiding-something-from-me-feeling, "But why don't you go do it?"

"Well I was planning to go see if they're setting up the security properly. Especially with all those damn reporters trying to get in" Harry explained, "It won't be a problem will it?"

"Nah" Ron muttered, "I might as well go now. See you around."

He got up from the table he had seated himself at and with a pop! apparated to Rosamerlicks, Harry and Luna's flat a bit off Diagon Alley. Within a good few seconds he appeared in their living room. Ron had always thought his flat rather big. Better than what most had. But compared to Harry and Luna's apartment it was a dump. The flat itself was had a pleasant light and airy feeling and the sunlight that wafted in through the large bay window only added to the effect. Luna had filled it with interesting artifacts she had come across over the course of her life. It had many silver instruments that gave off the feeling of Dumbledore's office. And of course Harry's personality wasn't to be dulled by his girlfriend's exuberant one. His broomstick collection was displayed in glass caskets and Ron noticed his most precious one. The Firebolt. Harry also had his old Gryffindor Quidditch Uniform on display along with a uniform the England National Quidditch had awarded him for playing one charity match. Ron had been green with jealously when he'd gotten it.

"Ron?" Luna questioned coming out of the kitchen, "What are you doing here?"

Ron faced her, "Came to see how the party plans were coming along."

"Oh. Well you needn't have come since I already invited Hermione and Ginny to come help" Luna replied and headed back into the kitchen. Ron followed her and the smell of burning marshmellows met his nostrils.

He coughed involuntarily, "Luna, something's burning!"

"I know" she said and sat down on a high stool and began reading the Quibbler.

"Aren't you going to stop burning it?" Ron asked wearily. He was sure to get some crazy response from the blonde.

"No" Luna said simply and kept on reading her magazine.

Ron sighed, "Why not?"

Luna finally put down her copy of the Quibbler, "I want to give the marshmellows a nice burnt feeling. Like when you roast them in a fire."

At one point in his life, getting that kind of answer would've made Ron want to shake her senseless but now he could only smile, "Of course you're right. I don't know what I was thinking."

"I suppose I'll eat them now. They burned long enough" Luna said, flicking out her wand and taking the marshmellows out of the oven. Ron had heard Muggles had ovens that ran on elicktercity. Wizards used magic.

"Care for one?" Luna implored offering him some.

He shook his head, "So where are you girls going tonight?"

"Sensasso" Luna said without any smugness at mentioned the name of the hottest women's escapade club in England. If girl's wanted a night out, Sensasso was the place to go. Ron heard they had Men there that would've put Gilderoy Lockhart out of business. That is to say if he hadn't gone insane first.

"And, you mentioned Hermiome coming over?" Ron asked ruefully. He didn't like the thought of Hermione at Sensasso with all those hired men.

"Yes I did, Ronald" Luna said through a mouthful of marshmellow. She was the only one who could call him Ronald without him being pestered by it.

"You know, it's not too late for you to make your move" Luna commented, licking a marshmellow glop off her fingers.

"I think it is, Luna" Ron said in exasperation.

"Well it definately is if you give up all hope like you've obviously done" Luna replied.

"Love isn't always easy, Luna! It isn't always perfect like you and Harry make it seem" Ron burst forth.

Ron regretted what he said because Luna's face darkened considerably. She recovered however and gave him a bitter sweet smile.

"All isn't well in Paradise at the moment" Luna said shortly but those words vibrated a thousand more.

"You mean Becky? Don't you?" Ron inquired. He was feeling worse by the second. So Luna knew what was going on...

"Yes..." Luna replied vaguely, "I think so, at least. As far as I know, Harry's hiding something from me."

Ron placed a comforting arm around her, "Have you asked him about it?"

"I'd rather he told me" Luna answered and continued to eat her marshmellows as if nothing had happened.

Then she suddenly frightened him by speaking again, "I invited her to the Bachelorette Party tonight. I want to have a chat with her. Find out what's really going on."

Ron doubted it was a good idea was would rather choke himself with one of the burnt marshmellows then say so to her.

Ron watched in earnest as Fred and George made Harry drink his tenth glass of the most bloody expensive champagne Ron had heard of while the other guests shouted, "Chug, chug, chug!"

Ron wasn't really in the Bachelor Party mood. He was upset over the Harry and Luna situation. If they didn't work out, how could Ron ever hope he and Hermione might?

And he was mad and it wasn't because he was drunk. 'Cause he wasn't. He wasn't drunk!

Ron gulped down another glass of Whisky and headed over to the catwalk Night Black had provided. Beautiful Witch after beautiful Witch strutted onto the stage and took off most of what they were wearing. Ron couldn't find it very appealing at the moment. He wasn't sure why. He would've loved this before. It was Hermione. Always Hermione. She was his conscience now and wouldn't let him enjoy the sexy witches before him!

Ron was interrupted in his thoughts by one of the Witch Strippers sitting down on his lap. He was so shocked by this that he was about to jump up. But he fought the urge. He was well-known in the club scene to be a creature of the night and it could be very unlike him to suddenly act so stiff.

"They tell me that you're a big roller, here in this city?" the witch inquired, tracing his lips with her fingers. She didn't have a British accent so Ron suspected her to be an import.

"Really? And what-what else did they say about me?" Ron questioned trying to speak in his old sleek tones. He was failing horribly.

"The girls mentioned you've slept with half the town. The delicious half" The witch continued and shifted in his lap. He bit his tongue to stop the moan from coming out.

"They flatter me" Ron replied trying to ease into the moment. He couldn't. Why couldn't he?

"You know what? I don't usually do this but you're so yummy that I'm just going to have to say it: I want you" the Witch finished her voice almost caressing him.

Ron choked. Not as in unable to say something but literally choked. An olive in his drink had gotten lodged in his throat. He made rather revolting hacking noises. The witch backed away in disgust. That's what she did when people started to choke? After he managed to cough it back up, he slumped over to get another drink. However in an instance all thought of getting a drink left him as he saw two guards fighting with someone trying to enter the party. It was a woman. A blonde woman.

"We're sorry, Miss, but we can't let you enter if your name isn't on the list!" a guard protested, holding her back easily.

"Harry!" the witch shrieked, "HARRY!"

Thinking it was Luna, Ron roughly pushed a few people out of the way to rush to her aid, "You, two, gits let go of her right now! God, let her in! Let her in!"

You can imagine his displeasure in realizing Becky was the one to enter. She looked the same as ever, although at the moment rather frazzled by fighting with the two guards.

"You..." Ron murmured, "What are you doing here?"

"I 'aven't cum to luk vat you" Becky retorted, "Vhere iz 'Arry?"

"You think I'm going to let you ruin his life? There is no way I'm letting you see him!" Ron exclaimed. Perhaps it was the wrong move to raise his voice because it captured everyone's attention. Harry rose from the table. Most of the guests were looking at each other in wonderment.

"What're you doing here?" Harry implored quietly, almost calmly.

" 'Arry, I've cum to tell you bevore you get marri-ed vith tat othere gurl, I love you" Becky said softly. She reached out for Harry's hand but he pulled away and looked at her, awestruck.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Harry questioned still shocked. Ron felt his anger rising. Why wasn't Harry asking her to leave?

"I vas frightened-" Becky responded in a choppy manner.

"Well, I can't love you back. I love Luna" Harry said in a weak attempt to explain.

Becky looked almost surprised he had rejected her. No one had probably had ever rejected that beautiful face.

"Donne-moi one chance 'Arry and you shall view my love" Becky begged.

"No" Harry repeated solidly.

"Just-

"No!"

He stumbled away from her but she grabbed his arm and snatched him up in a last-shot-kiss. Ron gave a sharp intake of breath. Harry pulled away and Ron noticed another blonde staring at him blankly. She had just arrived with Hermione and Ginny by her side.

"Harry!" Ginny gasped. Hermione didn't speak just looked to Ron as if to say 'Why didn't you stop this from happening?'

"Harry..." Luna breathed. She looked so small amongst them all at the moment. And Ron was scared to say that her eyes looked dead. They watered and tears welled out. Ron felt sick with Harry and Becky and even himself. Luna was crying. After all she had endured she chose now to cry. It marked how big of a deal this was to her. Very few things were big deals to her. Ron didn't know how to anybody could make it up to her. How could she trust any of them again?

"Luna, it's not what you think" Harry started wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, "I can explain-

He, of course, never got to finish his sentence because Ron punched him in the jaw. He heard a crack and was pretty sure he had broken it. Harry fell to the floor, clutching his jaw. Luna rushed, not to his aid, but out the door. Ginny immediately pursued her. Hermione, on the other hand, ran to help Harry.

Ron couldn't believe it. He had taken Luna's side instead of Harry's. He had chosen to help his fiance rather than him. He had punched his best mate in the jaw. And, strangest of all, he didn't feel the least bit sorry for it.

Author's Note: Dun, Dun, Dun! Yes I know...rather dramatic chapter. And yes rather Hermione-less. Don't worry though because what comes next is even better! Harry/Luna arguementsRon/Hermione arguementsRon/Hermione moments
