"Ginny's wearing our engagement present!" shouted Fred and George.
"What's that, the whole outfit?" asked Hermione sarcastically. She now worked in the newly formed protection section of the ministry, where she forwarded SPEW and started other groups like the Society for the Protection of Part Humans and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Goblins.
"No, Mione, we bought her the jewelry set!" shouted George. "Well not technically because it's from our joke shop…"
"It lights up when you're in love!" added Fred, "We had to add that little trick to make sure that Dean didn't force her into the engagement."
"And obviously he did because he's right next to her, and the jewelry's not lighting up!" cackled George.
Ginny blushed furiously and, ignoring the twins, who were doubled over with laughter, set off for some intelligent conversation, which she found in a small know of people near the fireplace.
"So, Ginny, when's your wedding set to be?" asked lavender, always girly and prying. She was wearing one of her own creations, a watercolor t-shirt and skirt set. (She, Padma, and Parvati owned a fashionable boutique.)
"Oh, dean's set it for July 30th and he plans on taking us to this clever muggle place called Hawaii for our honeymoon."
"Ooh, I've been there," said Hermione, "it's wonderful, there's lost of sun, and you can go swimming in the ocean, and get a tan, it great."
"Ginny, are you having a muggle wedding, or a wizard style one?"
"Dean and I opted for a muggle wedding, and Hermione, Luna; I want you to be my maids of honor. Lavender, Parvati, I would be honored if you would be my bridesmaids also."
"Of course," squealed Parvati.
Lavender looked downcast. "Um, I thought that you had to be single to be a bridesmaid?"
"Don't be silly, you'll be on Harry's arm, not Neville's."
"So, that's all settled, Lavender, Harry, when's your wedding set to be?"
"Early June," answered Lavender, "so you and Luna can come."
"Aw, that's so nice," said Luna, who was there because she had practically become a Gryffindor.
Just that minute, Ginny's jewelry started lighting up, and jeering came from the other crowd, the less well-behaved one. Dean was nowhere in sight, and the only boys around were Harry, Ron, and Neville. The last two were quickly eliminated in the other's mind, so Ginny dashed up stairs to her dorm. The other's had enough sense to not bother her, but after ten minutes, a knock came at the door.
"Who is it?" came a muffled voice from within.
"Just Hermione."
"Come on in."
"Gin, is there anything you need to confess?"
Ginny burst into tears.
"I really thought that I'd gotten over Harry, you know, but then Dean asks me to marry him, and I realize how much I wished that it was Harry instead of him. Dean's a great guy, but he's more like and older brother than anything else. And I can't tell Harry, because he's gone through so much, and I finally think that he's happy, with lavender.
"Oh, Gin, if you really love him, I'm sure he loves you too. I mean, Ron and I are complete opposites, but we're still getting married, right?"
"Yeah," smiled Ginny.
"Here," Hermione said, wiping a tear from Ginny's eye, "why don't you go back to the party?"
"ok." said Ginny, walking from the room. As Hermione watched her go, she knew she had to do something about Ginny and Harry.
The next day, Hermione waited in the Leaky Cauldron. Finally, she saw Ron walk through the door.
"Hey, honey" said Ron, giving Hermione a kiss.
"Did you know that Ginny is in love with Harry" asked Hermione.
"Well, it was pretty obvious after last night." said Ron.
"I have an idea about getting the two of them together," whispered Hermione, even though no one was around them who could hear.
Quietly, the couple schemed about what they could do.
