Bill was gone for longer then Hermione was expecting she'd decided to order some pizza to be delivered to a nearby vacant lot as Grimmauld Place was hidden from the view of Muggles and Hermione had always loved Pizza, she caught herself wondering if Bill had ever even tried a piece of Pizza. She walked down the street as the man approached and paid him he looked strangely at her but asked no questions when she gave him a rather large tip. Hermione returned to Grimmauld place and was greeted by a very tired looking owl with a large package.

"Long time no see Hedwig, what you got for me?" She said petting Harry's large snowy owl. She set the pizza down in the kitchen gave Hedwig a bowl of water before finally reading the note attached to the package with a smile.

Ginny

Hermione gave a faint smile as she pulled the dress out of the box it magically appeared without a single wrinkle which made Hermione smile. It was a pale mint Green and looked much more attractive then most bridesmaids gowns. The girl in Hermione couldn't wait to try it on. She made her way into her bedroom slipping into the dress. God it was beautiful. After struggling for a few seconds with the tie in the back she gave up determining that her arms simply weren't long enough. The dress however was perfect. Ginny had always had good taste after all she'd ended up with Harry. Hermione looked at herself in the mirror holding her hair off the shoulder wondering how she would put it up for the wedding. She frowned at the mirror angrily. She needed the full body mirror in the bathroom, it always had the best comments and she could see her entire image in it.

She crept into the livingroom secretly hoping Bill wouldn't come home until after she'd changed back into her normal clothing though she really didn't know why. She stepped into the ground floor bathroom it was one of the few things at Grimmauld Place that Hermione found endearing, the Mirror was antique with solid gold frame, it was so enormous that stretched nearly floor to ceiling she smiled as she stared at her image excitedly. The dress fit her somewhat curvy form perfectly. It made her feel Sexy, which was something Hermione didn't always feel, especially when she had been in school, having two male best friends wasn't always a good thing.

"You look simply ravishing." The mirror commented Hermione grinned even wider happy that the mirror thought she looked as wonderful as she thought she did. Satisfied she made her way back into the livingroom.

"Hermione?" Bill asked strangely as she entered in the mint green gown he was sitting in his new favorite chair pretending to read but his eyes were drifting up and down Hermione's body it made her feel slightly uncomfortable. She looked at him strangely.

"Does it look completely ridiculous?" Hermione asked Bill he still had his eyes on her. She had the most beautiful curves he'd ever seen and the dress showed off every feature perfectly. "Bill say something your scaring me?"

"It looks so amazing Hermione." Bill managed Hermione gave a satisfied grin "What's it for?"

"Ginny's wedding, I tried it on before, but they just finished altering it for me, Ginny sent it earlier." Hermione said. "In case anything was wrong with it."

"Nothing's wrong at all." Bill said looking at Her still intently.

"Would you do me a favor?" Hermione asked holding the ribbon tie out behind her "My arms aren't long enough to tie this."

"Sure." Bill said he stood inches away from Hermione now so close she could feel his breath on her neck "Is that tight enough?"

"It's fine." Hermione explained drifting back to reality that Bill was actually discussing the tie in the dress

"Thanks." Hermione said feeling Bill distance himself a little she shrugged it off before going back into the bathroom to look at the tied dress. She smiled again it looked even more amazing but she could still feel Bill's eyes burning holes in her as she faced the mirror. She emerged again "There's a pizza in kitchen if you want a piece, let me get out this and I'll join you."

"I love Pizza." Bill explained "please tell me it's pepperoni."

"Pepperoni." Hermione said with a grin. She was relieved that Bill liked Pizza. "I'll see you in just a moment." She slunk off Bill watched her as she walked away even at a distance she was one of the most beautiful women he'd ever seen.

"Is there still some left for me?" Hermione asked entering the kitchen where Bill sat at the table the pizza box was open in the middle to reveal he hadn't touched a single piece she gave him a funny look. "I told you start without me."

"I decided to wait." Bill paused "besides a true gentlemen lets a lady go first."

"Oh Bill come on." Hermione said he had his hair up again and he was still wearing a pair of loose fitting jeans with a simple set of black robes on top Hermione couldn't help but admire his image as she leaned over to grab a slice of the pizza.

"So you excited for tomorrow?" Bill asked finally taking his own piece after Hermione had finished several bites.

"Two of my best friends are getting married, we haven't had a lot to celebrate lately, I really think it will be good for all of us." Hermione gave a funny smile. "Besides I bet Ginny 10 galleons 6 years ago that she would marry Harry Potter and I intend to make her pay up." Hermione teased Bill gave a funny little snort she was greatly reminded of Ron.

"I'd best send her an owl to warn her then huh." Bill said he'd scarfed down the first piece of Pizza and had moved onto the second.

"So are you bringing a date to this shindig tomorrow?" Hermione asked Bill. "Fluer perhaps?"

"Fluer and I haven't been seeing each other for quiet sometime." Bill said "She's too high maintenance for me besides she told me she's not sure she wants Children and I can't live with that."

"I know what you mean I couldn't never be with someone who didn't want children." Hermione admitted.

"I guess I'm going stag." Bill admitted. He hadn't really considered that an issue until that instant.

"Don't worry Weasley I guess I'm going stag as well." Hermione admitted shamefully.

"I have an Idea 'Mione." Bill said happily "Since we live together now and we both don't have dates what do you say we go stag together?" Bill asked Hermione pretended to pounder this hard.

"Well you can't go stag together." Hermione teased.

"You know what I mean, will you go with me to Ginny and Harry's wedding?" Bill asked pointedly.

"I don't know, I'm not sure I want to be seen in public with a long hair pillock." Bill gestured a pretend knife into his heart making Hermione laugh a little. She then looked a Bill again. "I guess if you're going to beg." She teased further.

"You really now how to wreck a guys ego Granger." Bill said as Hermione dove for a second piece of the pizza.

"Seriously, what time do you want to leave?" Hermione asked

"No sooner then is absolutely necessary I don't want to have to hang out with all 16 thousand obscure relatives I've never met for too long."

"I have to be there by 10." Hermione said

"Sounds wonderful." Bill said

"Just so you know Bill, this is not an official date and I have no intention of making out with you." Hermione said she hadn't felt this goofy in what seemed like years.

"Understood no make out sessions." Bill laughed but he couldn't help thinking about how wonderful it would be to have someone to go with even if she supposed to be just his friend.
