Harry and Hermione were in their room, talking. It was three weeks before the end of the term and they had just finished studying for their exams.
"Hermione, do you think we could take a break tomorrow?" Harry asked her. "I mean, it's Friday, and it feels like I haven't talked to you about anything other than school work and Draco's and Ginny's wedding for about three months. I miss you". Hermione looked at him.
"Okay. I miss you too Harry. I want to do something alone with you. Do you want to tell Draco and Ginny that we can't plan with them tomorrow because we're sick?" Harry nodded, thoughtfully.
"Well, how about we say that you're sick, and I'm going to stay with you so you don't have to be alone". Hermione nodded.
"That's a good idea". She said happily. Harry smiled and then kissed her on the forehead.
"Until tomorrow then". He whispered. He hugged her close to him, and then the two of them fell asleep.
The next morning Harry and Hermione slept in, for the first time in awhile. They had no classes that day, so when Draco knocked on their door Harry pulled on a robe and walked over to him. "Hey Draco". He said.
"Why aren't you dressed yet?" Draco asked Harry, eyeing his robe. Harry blushed.
"Well, I haven't actually had a lot of time to change. You see, Hermione is really sick and I haven't left her, because well she's really sick". Draco looked passed Harry and saw Hermione sitting on the bed, she was really white. She was coughing and suddenly she ran to the bathroom. Draco heard her start to puke.
"Oh, okay. Well I'll tell Ginny that Hermione is sick and that you are going to stay here and take care of her?" Harry nodded. "Okay, well I'll see you when Hermione feels better I guess". Harry nodded.
"Yup". Draco looked at him and smiled.
"Tell Hermione that I hope she feels better".
"I will". Draco then left and Hermione walked out of the bathroom, holding up a box of the Weasley's snack boxes. Hermione smiled.
"Fred and George strike again". She said happily. Harry nodded and pulled her close to him.
"WE finally have some time to ourselves". He said smiling. "No homework". Hermione looked at him with a shocked face.
"Wait just five minutes. I have to just finish one thing". She rushed over to a book and she opened it. Harry ripped it from her hands and tossed it behind him.
"No, I said no homework. No books, no reading, no writing". He looked at her and picked her up. "Today is the day that you and I will have all to ourselves. I'm going to make you breakfast, and then we'll have some fun". Hermione smiled and nodded.
"Okay". She said. Harry carried her to their room and dropped her on the bed. He then walked out and made her favorite breakfast, freshly made blueberry muffins with vanilla ice cream.
After Hermione and Harry finished their breakfast Harry cleared away the plates with a swish of his wand. Hermione disappeared into the washroom for a few moments, and then came back out in the nightgown that Ginny had given her for Christmas. Harry smiled at her, but then he had a plan. Harry pretended that he was leaving. He got up from the bed and walked over to their living room, where the television was. He sat down on a chair and turned it on. Hermione walked over to him, sat in his lap and started to kiss his neck. Harry started to melt, but he had to keep up the pace. He started to flip channels, until he found a show about cars. He started watching it and after a few minutes he said:
"Hermione, you're kind of blocking the TV, could you please move?" That struck a nerve. Hermione stood up and had a glare in her eyes.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER!" She yelled. "GET YOUR BUT OFF OF THAT CHAIR AND PAY SOME ATTENTION TO WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO!" Harry looked at her and nodded.
"Okay, what do you want to do?" Hermione smiled.
"What I want to do is different than what I'm trying to do". She said smiling. "I can't do what I want us to do until we're married. You said so". Harry looked at her and smiled.
"You want to do that?" he asked her. She looked at him and nodded. He was about to go and do that, but then he had an idea. "How about we wait until we move into our new house? It'll be more special. Besides, there's a car show I want to watch". Hermione glared at him and Harry started to laugh. "I'm joking hunny'. He said. "I want to be with you". He flipped off the TV and pulled her onto his lap. He started to kiss her on the mouth, and then he worked his way down her neck. He then flipped her around and he started to give her a neck massage. Hermione groaned with delight. She had never felt anything so good. Harry continued with the massage, until he felt a crease in her back. Harry pulled down the back of the nightgown and saw a scar across her back. "Hermione?" He said questionably. "How did you get that scar on your back?" Hermione looked at him and bit her lip.
"Well, I got that in the summer after fourth year". She said. "The week before I went to the order". Harry pulled her close to him and smiled.
"Go on hunny". He said. Hermione looked at him and nodded.
"Well, I promised Viktor that I would visit him over the summer, right?" Harry nodded, tentatively. "Well, I went over there for about a week and all he did was... well..." Harry looked at her with surprise.
"Did what?"
"Oh Harry". She said, with tears forming in her eyes. "All he did was touch me. He wouldn't keep his hands off, even when we were around his parents and friends". Harry was shocked. He couldn't believe it! He seemed like such a nice guy.
"Hermione, what happened to your back?" Harry asked again, after a moments pause.
"Well, one night, while he was doing that he went a little too far. I pushed him away from me and he got mad. He grabbed one of his picture frames, it had a picture of you, me, Ron and Viktor. He started screaming about me cheating on him. I said that I wasn't which was true. He threw the frame at me as I started to run out of the room. It gashed my back and I flooed back to my house immediately. Oh, Harry, I was so scared". Hermione finished with a sob. Harry stood up and Hermione stumbled. Harry walked over to a wall and punched it. Hermione gasped as a hole was dented in.
"I can't believe he did that to you. The bastard. I swear, next time I see him, I'll murderize him to no end". Hermione was shocked. Harry threw another punch at the wall and deepened the hole. Hermione ran over to him and wrapped her arms around him.
"Harry, calm down. It's okay. It's okay. I'm fine and Viktor and I haven't spoken since. He still writes me sometimes, but I don't answer his letters". Harry was shocked.
"The bastard still writes you?" Harry asked. Hermione nodded.
"I got a letter from him yesterday". Hermione walked over to the trash can in that room and pulled out a letter that hadn't even had the seal broken. She handed it to him and Harry read it.
Dear Hermione.
Hello. This is Viktor. I was wondering why you haven't answered my letters. I hope that they have been getting to you. I just wanted to tell you again that I love you and that I would do anything to get you back. I will even forgive you for cheating on me with that disgusting Ronald boy.
Hermione, please come back to me. I really do love you and I miss you. I want you Hermione. I really do. Please write back soon!
Love Viktor
Harry crumpled up the letter and threw it in the trash. Harry quickly changed his clothes, walked out of the school and down to Hogsmeade, he then apperated to Viktor's house, ready to kick some ass.
Harry banged on Viktor's front door and Viktor answered it.
"Hello?" He said. "Oh, hi Harry, vutt are you doing here?" Harry answered the question by punching him in the face.
"YOU BASTARD, YOU FUCKING BASTARD! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THAT TO HERMIONE!" Harry once again punched Viktor. He was stunned.
"Harry, vut are you talking about?" Viktor asked.
"I'm talking about you abusing my fiancée!" Harry yelled. Viktor was stunned.
"Your fiancée?"
"Yes, my fiancée. Now if you don't stop writing Hermione harassing letters, then I swear I will kill you where you stand. Now, do I make myself clear?" Viktor nodded rapidly. "Good". Harry said finally. He then kicked Viktor in his shin and then he sacked him, after that Harry apperated back to Hogsmeade, proud of his job with Viktor. He walked back to Hogwarts and he and Hermione spent a nice day together.
Over the next few days Harry, Hermione, Draco and Ginny crammed for their exams. Harry was still supposed to watch over Lupin, but he had been acting normal over the last few days, but he did look a little tired.
On the last day of exams Harry and Draco got together to talk. His wedding was in eight days and he was worried about what Draco might do.
"Draco". Harry said. "I was wondering if you all have everything done". Draco nodded.
"Yup. I have had everything done. I have responses, I have food ordered. We have flowers, tuxes, dresses, band, minister, location, day, time. We even have our honeymoon planned".
"Good, well, I guess I should wish you both luck".
"Thanks, but I have a question to ask you".
"Shoot".
"Have you written your speech?" Harry was shocked.
"What speech".
"Well, you're the best man. He normally makes a speech at the reception".
"Umm, yes of course I have it written I just have to go and Ummm… see something". Harry stood up and ran out of the room and up to his room. Draco stared at him and then started to laugh.
It was the day before the wedding and Harry was in his and Hermione's room in Grimwald Place.
"Hermione, what do you think of the speech?" Hermione looked over and Harry started to read. "I have known Draco and Ginny since before I came to Hogwarts. I knew Draco from the robe store and Ginny as my best friend's little sister. Draco, well, what can I say about the dude. For the longest time I thought he was an asshole, but I have learned to love him. Ginny, she was always like a sister to me. I knew that I could talk to her about anything. Everyone could, Ginny is so open and welcoming, no matter who you are. When I found out that Draco and Ginny were dating, well, I thought that Draco was just being mean. He had always made fun of her family, and her brother is his worst enemy. Now, I am here today, talking to all of you, at their wedding, the day I never thought would come. I now know that Draco loves Ginny with all of his heart and he will never do anything to hurt her. Now, I would just like to say one thing to the bride and one thing to the groom. Ginny, if you ever feel the need to get away from his ruffled clothes, you're always welcome at our house, and Draco, if you hurt her mentally, I'll hurt you physically. I hope I never have too". Harry looked and Hermione and she smiled.
"Harry, that was excellent. I love it". Harry smiled.
"Thank you".
The next day Harry and Hermione woke up early and went to their respective person.
Hermione walked into Ginny's room and Ginny was sitting on her bed, in her nightgown, in tears. When she saw Hermione she jumped up happily.
"I'm getting married today!" She shouted excitedly. She ran over and gave her friend a hug. Hermione laughed. It was nine in the morning and the wedding was at four. Hermione got Ginny to get a shower and get dressed. After she was ready, Hermione and Ginny both left for the hair studio to meet the bridesmaids and to get their hair done.
Harry walked into Draco's room and saw that Draco was still asleep. Harry sat on Draco's bed and poured a bucket of ice cold water on his head. Draco shot up and glared at Harry.
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING POTTER?" He yelled. Harry smiled and said.
"Time to get up, we have to get some food in you. I ordered your favorite pizza and I brought some ice cream. I know you like to eat both of those in the morning of a big event. I thought that since this is the biggest day of your life you should have some". Draco looked at Harry and nodded. Draco hopped in the shower and then got dressed in regular clothes.
Hermione and Ginny met up with the bridesmaids at the hair salon. Luna, Erin and Katrina were waiting there for them, jumping up and down.
"Oh my gosh, Ginny!" Erin yelled. Ginny slowly backed away and ran into a tree. Everyone laughed and then they walked into the studio.
Harry and Draco had just finished eating and now they were watching TV. It was two o'clock and they had to get a port key to Hogwarts at two thirty, where their tuxes would be waiting for them and for Mark, Ron and Seamus.
After Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Erin and Katrina had gotten out of the salon they got a port key to Hogwarts. There was a room waiting for them to get ready in. Ginny's tiara and dress were sitting on the bed waiting for her and the bridesmaid dresses were waiting for the girls on the couches.
Harry and Draco were with Seamus, Ron and Mark getting their tuxes on. It was almost time for the wedding and the heat was getting to Draco. He checked his pockets for his vows, which were there, and he ate about twenty breath mints. Harry finally confiscated the mints and put them in his pocket.
Harry, Seamus, Ron and Mark were standing in front of the lake in the aisle, in front of the minister, Father Brown. All of the guest had arrived and the girls were almost ready to walk down the aisle. The wedding march struck on and the girls made their way down the aisle.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God to witness the marriage of two young people, Virginia Weasley and Draco Malfoy. They have written their own vows, so please, go on". The minister said.
"Draco". Ginny said with a smile. "Ever since the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew that you would be the one I would be with forever. I knew that you would see me as a person, not just some girl. Ever since we started dating, secretly, you always treated me with dignity, and I love you for that. Draco, if you let me, I know that you are the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with and I want to be by your side forever. I love you". Ginny smiled at Draco and Draco took her hands.
"Ginny. I know I haven't been the nicest person to you for the first few years of school, and I'm really sorry for that. I know that it must have been difficult to give me a second chance. Ginny, you are the first person who saw the true me, behind the mask. You are the person who helped me become who I am today, and I don't know what I would do if you hadn't been with me. I know that I don't deserve you, and I'm so happy that you are with me today, I love you so much, and that won't ever change". Ginny had tears running down her face. She was so happy. The two of them turned to the minister and he continued with the ceremony.
"Do you, Draco Malfoy, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold? For richer or poorer? Till death do you part, as long as you both shall live?" Draco smiled and nodded.
"I do".
"And do you Virginia Weasley take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold? For richer or poorer? Till death do you part, as long as you both shall live?"
"I do".
"If anyone has any objections to why these two shouldn't be wed, please speak now, or forever hold your peace". No one said anything. "Repeat after me Draco. I give you this ring".
"I give you this ring".
"As a sign of my love and faithfulness".
"As a sign of my love and faithfulness". Draco slid the ring onto Ginny's finger.
"Now Ginny, repeat after me. I give you this ring".
"I give you this ring".
"As a sign of my love and faithfulness".
"As a sign of my love and faithfulness". Ginny slid the ring onto Draco's finger. The minister looked up at the crowd.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride". Draco smiled and leaned in and kissed Ginny. Just as they pulled away Harry heard someone scream. He turned around and saw, where Lupin was sitting, was now a werewolf. If bounded up the aisle towards Harry.
"Moony! NOOOOOOOO!" Harry yelled.
