Wedding Planning and Showing
A/N: I apologize for the tardiness in updating, as it is nearly midterms and I am doing a lot of schoolwork. I noticed that I am up to 99 reviews, so am hoping that this chapter brings me to over 100 reviews :-P. Anyways here, enjoy.
Ginny woke up on a Saturday morning as sun peered through the windows. Today was the day where she, Hermione, Ron and Harry were going to go shopping to prepare for the wedding. The four had agreed to a double wedding on Christmas Eve. This event would be held rather than the Yule Ball, so everyone that wanted to come could come.
"Oh Merlin, I am going to be Mrs. Potter in one month" Ginny murmured to herself, getting lost in her train of thoughts.
She suddenly jolted out of this train of thoughts as she glanced at the clock. "Oh shit, I have one hour before I have to meet them downstairs". With this, she bounded out of bed and straight into the shower. As she stripped out of her nightgown and stepped into the shower, she noticed that her stomach now had a more rounded appearence. "Oh, I'm showing" she whispered to herself, her eyes glistening with tears as her body tingled with utmost bliss. She hurried through her shower, practically bursting to announce her news to the others.
As she got out of the shower, she went to her closet, smiling to herself as she pulled out the pale green maternity sweater that her mom had bought her as a gift. She pulled on some leggings, french braided her long red hair, and put on some eyeshadow, mascara, and lip gloss. She then glanced at the clock. "Hm, I think I'll just swing by Hermione's room to see how she's doing".
When she went to Hermione's room, she knocked on the door. "Hermione, you in there?"
A breathless Hermione answered the door, her eyes sparkled excitedly. "Look, I'm showing!" she exclaimed, pointing out her rounded tummy which was clad in the pale purple maternity sweater that Mrs Weasley had gotten her with some leggings.
"Hermione that is so cool, so am I!" Ginny squealed pointing at her own stomach.
"Ooooh this is so exciting" exclaimed Hermione. "Hey hold on a sec, I'm almost ready and then we can go and surprise Ron and Harry".
"Okay, sounds like fun" Ginny agreed.
Soon Ginny and Hermione were headed down towards the Great Hall, where they saw Harry and Ron playing chess. They walked over there grinning widely. Hermione cleared her throat once they reached there, signalling both men to look up.
"It is official, Ginny and I are showing" she announced.
"Oh that is fantastic" exclaimed Harry jumping up, embracing Ginny and kissing her passionately.
"Oh merlin, I'm going to be a dad" said Ron, hugging Hermione and kissing her.
"Gee Ron, you just figured that out?" commented Ginny.
Hermione then glanced at her watch. "We should start heading out now, we still need to get invitations, robes, rings, and flowers".
"Love, we're not that good at the whole shopping thing, how about you and Ginny do the shopping for the wedding alone first, and then later we can pick the rings together".
"Ha ha ha, you aren't getting out of this that easily" Hermione stated firmly, eyes boring into her fiance's eyes.
"Gee Ron, when I said find a way out of shopping, I meant a less obvious escuse" grumbled Harry.
"Oh no you don't" Ginny stated glancing both and her fiance and her brother. "All four of us are going shopping together, and we are ALL going to enjoy it!" She then stood there, her hands on hips, signifying that she meant business.
"Oooh Ginny, you look so sexy when you're all demanding" said Harry, his hands wrapped around her waist. Ginny blushed and giggled. The two then began snogging.
"Ok, sorry to interrupt this erotic moment, but we need to be going now" stated Hermione.
Ginny glanced up. "Oh yeah, ok, let's go Prince Charming." With this, Harry and Ron exchanged defeated glances and followed their future wives.
When they arrived at Hogsmeade, they saw Mr and Mrs Weasley, Lupin and Tonks, and Hermione's parents waiting for them. Mr. Weasley, Mr Granger, and Lupin had glum expressions on their faces.
"Hey dad, Mum make you come?" asked Ron?
Arthur Weasley nodded, "I don't see why she can't just do the shopping herself, I'm fine either way".
"No, you just don't like shopping" commented Mrs Weasley.
"Well, I see that Ron takes after his father in that case" commented Hermione.
"Yes well- wait a minute, Ronald did you try to get out of shopping for your own wedding?" Molly Weasley was now glaring at her youngest son.
"Um well Mum, Harry was forced to go too".
"Gee Ron, thanks mate" Harry hissed in his ear.
"But it's true, you can't expect me to take the wrath of five women".
"Oh no Ron, we have loads of time to do that" said Hermione who was smiling evily.
"Hermione, I love you and all, but you are still scary, you know that".
"Yes, I know, that's what makes me so irresistable" stated Hermione, batting her eyes innocently.
Jack Granger shook his head, "My, what an amusing bunch of people, this wedding planning should be quite interesting to watch".
"That's why Nymphadora and I eloped, to skip all the wedding planning". (yes they eloped, lol)
"That's for sure" Tonks agreed "and don't call me Nymphadora"
"So now I have to call my wife by her maiden name?"
"We can talk about a compromise later, lets shop"
"Ok, now what do we want to look for first?" asked Mrs Granger.
Hermione and Ginny glanced at each other. "How about ordering the wedding dresses and robes" Ginny suggested.
Mrs. Weasley nodded. "Okay, so what have you decided on, muggle or wizard wedding attire?"
Ginny turned towards Harry and Ron, who now actually seemed to be contemplating what they wanted. The four finally decided what they wanted to use, muggle attire.
Tonks then nodded, pointing towards a store not to far away. "This store just opened up, a store that sells both special occasion muggle and wizard clothing".
Hermione and Ginny shared identical grins, each grabbing her own fiancee's hand. "This is going to be so much fun" Hermione squealed.
"I know" Ginny squealed back.
As they stepped in, Ron groaned. "Just look at the bloody size of this place, we'll be here for hours".
"Honestly Ron, a wedding is a beautiful thing, if you can cooperate, I know the planning could be a lot of fun for all of us".
"May I help you?" all turned around to see a young quite pretty Asian girl behind them. Harry looked like he was about to run out of the store. "Um hi Cho, long time no see, what are you doing here?".
"Well my husband and I decided to start a business on designing formal wear, I've always had an interest for fashion design, and he has this flair for business and marketing, so here we are." She then turned to Harry "Hello Harry, how have you been? "
"Hello" Harry mumbled, looking more uncomfortable than ever.
"Harry, I don't bite, the past is the past, friends?" she asked holding out her hand.
Harry took her hand "Friends" he agreed.
"So, what brings you here?" Cho asked, glancing curiously at Ginny and Hermione, then at Harry and Ron.
Mrs Weasley smiled. "We are in the process of planning a double wedding".
Cho's eyes glittered with excitement "Wow, congratulations to all four of you. Here follow me, weddings are my specialty"
She then escorted the ten to an office "Please take a seat" she said, motioning to ten chairs which had magically appeared. She then surveyed the group. "Okay, let's start with the bridal dresses, robes or muggle attire?"
"Muggle attire" replied Hermione, as Ginny nodded in agreement.
Cho then led them to a woman's dressing room and began taking measurements with her wand/
"So is it possible to place maternity charms on the dresses" Mrs Weasley spoke up.
Cho nodded "Yes, the charm is quite simple and it can work on any dress. I like to make the dresses custom made so that each dress is special in its own way, so once the dresses are completed, I place the charm myself."
"Do you have any designs that we could look at?" Tonks spoke up.
"Yes, here you go" she responded, handing Hermione and Ginny some catalogs to look at.
"Wow, there are so many dresses to choose from" Ginny gasped. "How are we going to pick just one dress each?"
"Well, that's why you have your mothers and me here, we're here to help".
After about an hour, Ginny and Hermione had each selected their dresses. Both had selected identical dresses which were cream colored simple yet, elegant medevial styled full-length dresses with long flared sleaves trimmed with lace, and were made of crushed velvet and silk.
"Are you two sure that you want identical dresses?" Tonks asked.
"Sure, we both like this style best, and better yet, it hides the buldge very well, so we don't have to look like moo-moo's in our wedding albums" Ginny added.
"Moo-moo's?" Hermione giggled.
"Sorry, I'm really hyper today".
"That I can tell" added an extremely bored Ron from outside the women's fitting room.
"Don't come in, you'll see us in our wedding dresses" Ginny squealed.
"So are we done yet?" grumbled Ron, recieving a glare from his mother.
"Well Ginny and I picked out our dresses, what's next Cho?".
"Oh right" Cho checked a list. "Do you have any bridesmaids, flowergirls, etc.?"
"Oh, we still have to decide that one."
"Oh that's alright, I can have dresses ready within a week. So I'm guessing we choose the groom attire, and that will be it for today".
Cho then turned towards Harry and Ron. "I am guessing you want muggle attire as well?"
Ron and Harry shrugged "I guess so" said Harry.
"Ok, I will lead you to the men's dressing area. Would you three like to join them" asked Cho, nodding towards Mr Granger, Mr Weasley, and Lupin.
The men looked at their wives who were nodding and pointing towards the fitting rooms before giving defeated nods.
"Ok, here is the catalogue for men's apparel" stated Cho, handing Ron and Harry each a binder containing different styles.
"Um what do I do now?" asked Ron.
"You just pick out what you like best" said Mr Weasley.
"I remember I just picked out the first thing I saw, and was done with it in a snap" added Mr Granger.
"Excuse me, what was that Jack?"
Harry and Ron exchanged glances "ohhh, busted" Ron whispered.
"Nothing dear" responded Jack.
"That's what I thought"
"Wow, now I know who Hermione takes after" added Ron.
"I heard that" said Hermione, sticking her head in.
"Wait you're not supposed to see us in what we picked out" squealed Harry imitating Ginny, who then stuck her head in the room too.
"What have you picked out, your birthday suit?" retorted Ginny.
"Sure why not?" added Ron.
"No one is going to get married starkers" added Mrs Weasley.
"But it's my wedding" Ron protested.
"No one is going starkers" added Hermione.
Ron sighed defeated "Fine, I'll get this one" he said pointing at a pimp suit".
Hermione's eyes widened with horror "No Ronald, absolutely not, you are not going to dress like a pimp at our wedding! Oh by the way, Us women are going to go to be looking around the store to accessorize our dresses, so we'll leave you with Cho to pick out the tuxes. Cho, I hope you have better taste than Ron does."
Cho laughed ushering them away before turning towards Ron "That is usually used for costume balls, here let me show you one that could work, this is what Jake wore to our wedding" she said pointing to a nice looking black tuxedo with a silk vest. "You can pick any color for the vest, he wore it in a silver".
"Hm, I've always liked dark blue. What do you guys think?" he asked everyone else.
"I think this could work" all the men agreed, nodding.
"Yes, blue is a great color. I think Hermione would agree that this one looks more tasteful for a wedding" agreed Cho.
"Ok, I'll take it".
"Good, now Harry have you found anything?".
"Well, I like what Ron picked out, what color vest do you think could work though?".
"Definately green to match your eyes, I have a great shade that would work perfectly" commented Cho.
"Alright thanks, I'll take it" said Harry.
"So, I'll take it you still have to plan for best men, etc?" asked Cho.
"Well seeing as we are best mates, and each of us is a groom, we still have to figure that out".
"I understand, wedding planning can be a hassle".
Harry then glanced at the tuxedo in the catalog, with a mist of saddness covering his eyes "I wonder what wedding planning was like for my parents".
Lupin then put his arm around Harry in a fatherly manner. "Let's just say that James knew to stay out of Lilly's way, and he was on his best behavior when she needed his help" he said with a laugh.
Harry smiled slightly "I just wish they could be there. That they could meet Ginny and see the happiness that fills me when I am with her".
"Harry, they know, and they will be there, in your heart" said Lupin.
Harry nodded "Ok, let's change the subject before depressed moody Harry makes an appearance" he said with a laugh.
"Hey I have an idea, let's sneak up on the girls" said Ron, grinning mischeviously.
"Not a bad idea" agreed Harry.
Remus laughed, shaking his head. "You are your father's son, Harry, ok we do not want to face the wrath of our wives, so we'll get a head start".
"Fine" Harry agreed.
They gave them about a five minute head start before they crept out of the dressing room. They found Ginny and Hermione examining tiaras then nodded at each other to signal one another. Then each snaked around their fiancees and grabbed them by the waists, causing each girl to shriek and jump. Hermione ended up stomping on Ron's foot accidentially and Ginny accidentially kicked Harry in between the legs.
"Ow Hermione, so abusive!" Ron complained, hopping on one foot.
"Serves you right, sneaking behind a pregnant woman" grumbled Hermione.
"Well, I guess I lucked out, look at poor Harry!"
Harry was knelt on the ground, his eyes watering with pain. "Ginny, I think you have ruined the chance of any siblings for that one" he groaned in a voice about an octave higher than usual.
"Oh Harry! I swear I didn't mean to hit you, you just snuck behind me and I reacted. Here, let me help you". She then helped him up.
"Thanks" he gasped, voice beginning to return to normal, now leaning against the wall for support before regaining the ability to stand unassisted. He then glared at Ron, who was howling with laughter.
"Brilliant idea mate, I should kick you there just for suggesting it".
"So Ronald, this was your idea was it?" commented Hermione in a sickingly sweet tone.
"Hey Harry went along with it" Ron retorted.
"Believe me mate, I paid for it" said Harry with a grimace.
Hermione then looked at her watch. "Oh my goodness, I forgot, we are supposed to choose what we need then meet the rest at the flowershop next door".
"Okay, do we have everything?" asked Ginny.
"Well, I think I'm missing my reproductive abilities, other than that, now that my voice has returned to its normal tone, I'm good to go" retorted Harry.
"Honestly Harry, it wasn't that bad" said Ginny.
"I would like to see you experience pain like getting kicked there".
"Believe me Ron, I think that Ginny and I will experience pain far worse than that in the near future" responded Hermione.
"Ok forget I said anything, let's find Cho, and place our orders already" said Ron.
They found Cho behind the counter "Do you have everything you want ordered?"
"Yes, we'll order the dressed, the tuxedoes, and the accessories for now" said Ginny.
"Ok, I will run this order through, and I will owl you when it is available to be picked up."
"So how much do we owe you?" asked Harry.
"I'll tell you when you come to pick up the order" said Cho.
"Thank you, do you have any advice on flowers?"
"Roses, they are the simple yet elegant choice for most weddings, and red is good for a christmas wedding".
"Thank you, I guess we'll see you sometime next week".
"See you then, and good luck with the shopping"
"Thanks" responded Hermione, who then turned to catch up with the rest of the group.
"Gee thanks for waiting for me" she commented, still gasping for breath.
"A little out of shape are we?" asked Ron.
"Shut up" grumbled Hermione, now glaring daggers at him.
"Come on, lets go in and get this over with" said Harry.
They entered the store, where they found Mrs Weasley talking to the florist. "Why hello, you must be the two couples" said the florist, smiling towards the four.
Mrs Weasley looked up "It's about time you get here. The rest are next door checking out the parchment stationary for the invitations".
"It's ok, we have already decided on what flowers we want" said Ginny.
"Yes, we would like red roses" said Hermione, turning towards the florist.
"Are you sure?" asked Mrs Weasley.
"Yeah mum" said Ron.
The florist smiled. "That is a good choice, arrangements with roses is my specialty, I could have sample arrangements ready within a week".
"Sounds good to me" said Harry.
"Ok I will see you all in a week then".
"Ok thank you" said Mrs Weasley, now ushering the rest out of the store, towards the parchment specialty store.
As they reached that store, they found the men sitting at a bench in front of the store.
"Ah Molly, you fineally found them. Tonks and Diane are in there" said Mr Weasley, nodding towards the store.
"Ok, we will go in here, pick out the invitations, then go to lunch".
"It's about time" said Ron, now starting to get hungry.
"Ok lets go in" said Hermione, walking ahead of the rest, entering the store.
When all entered the store, they found Tonks and Mrs Granger having a conversation with the shopkeeper.
"Ah good, Molly, you found them" said Tonks. "Here, Diane and I found some parchment that could look nice for the wedding invitations".
"Wow, they all look nice, what do you think Mum?" asked Hermione, looking up at her mother.
"I like this one" said Mrs Granger, picking up a sample piece of ivory colored parchment that shimmered ever so slightly when the parchment was moved at any angle.
"Yes, that one is really pretty, what do you think Gin?"
"I like it, Harry and Ron?"
"We'll take it".
"Very good choice" said the shopkeeper. He then showed them a color key and a font key. "Now we can have the writing on the invitations in any font and in any ink color".
"Fancy script seems like a good font for the invitations, and how about gold ink?" said Hermione, glancing at the others who nodded before she turned towards the shopkeeper.
"Yes, we'll take it"
"Very good choice indeed, we can have this order in about a week"
"Thank you" said Mrs Weasley.
They then exited the store, and found the men in deep conversation, as a fascinated Mr Weasley was listening to Mr Granger describing something in great detail.
"Molly, Jack here has been describing a most useful muggle tool used to unplug clogged toilets, a Pulnger was it?"
"Actually, it is called a plunger" responded Mr Granger.
Tonks muttered "don't ask" to a confused looking Mrs Granger as Mrs Weasley plastered a smile on her face.
"That's... nice dear, now why don't we all go to lunch now?"
"Good idea" said Lupin, standing up.
They then went into a nice cafe where they ordered their food and chatted about everything from the wedding, to the babies, to graduation, etc. After they finished their meals, they walked outside, Mrs. Weasley now checking her list.
"Ok, all we have to do now is choose the rings. I think that this is more of thing for you four to do together. The jewelery store is over there, and lets all meet back here in let's say one hour?"
"Ok, that works" agreed Hermione.
The four then entered the jewelery store and began to look at all the displays of jewelery.
"Can I help you" asked the saleslady, eyeing them suspiciously.
Ginny spoke up "Where are your wedding rings?"
"They are in that display over there. But the wedding rings here are probably a bit, let's say, out of the price range for such young couples" she remarked, looking towards the four.
"How can you be sure that we cannot afford the wedding rings" asked Harry, his green eyes blazing slightly toward's the woman's steel grey eyes.
"In all honesty, the only people your age that could afford rings such as these would have to be a Malfoy or a Potter".
Harry then brushed his hair back, revealing his scar before extending his right hand to shake her hand "I'm Harry Potter, pleased to meet you"
"Aurora, is there a problem here?" asked a finely dressed man behind the four.
The saleslady then turned towards the man. "No problem at all, Uncle. I am just assisting Harry Potter and his friends in finding wedding rings".
"Harry Potter, is it? Gaston Defleuore, pleased to meet you. I apologize for my niece's behavior. She is still a bit shaken from a robbery that occured here last month. So, looking for wedding rings are you? I remember when your parents came to this very store to buy their own wedding rings. Who is the lucky lady?"
Ginny extended her hand towards his "Ginny Weasley, pleased to meet you".
"A Weasley are you? You are the second Weasley to have shopped here for wedding rings this month".
"Second? Who else has come here?" asked Ron.
"And you are?"
"Sorry, these are my friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, they are here to pick out their wedding rings too" said Harry.
"I see, very nice indeed. Yes, a Percy Weasley came here about a week ago, in fact he should be here at any moment with his lovely fiancee".
Ron grimaced as Hermione plastered a smile on her face. "How charming, Ronald, wouldn't you want to do a little catching up with your brother, show him how you are doing?"
"Now why would I want to do that?" asked Ron.
"CoughheadboyCough" went Ginny.
"Oh yeah, said Ron" a smirk beginning to form on his face.
"Let's just begin looking at rings, shall we?" said Gaston.
"Okay" Harry agreed, the four now headed towards the ring display.
After about fifteen minutes, the four had selected their rings (Harry and Ron's being a simple gold band with an intricate leaf pattern etched into the gold, and Ginny and Hermione's being a matching band, except a good-sized cluster of diamonds was centered on the ring). Harry and Ginny agreed to engrave the other's name on the inside of the ring and had selected to engrave the words Amor animi arbitrio sumitur, non ponitur (Latin for "We choose to love, we do not choose to cease loving") after the name. Ron and Hermione agreed to engrave the other's name on the inside of the ring and had selected to engrave the words Amor est vitae essentia (Latin for "Love is the essence of life"). after the name.
As they were finishing up their order the door chimed, meaning that a customer had come in.
"Hello Gaston, we decided to arrive a bit early just in case".
"Ah Mr. Weasley and Ms. Clearwater" I shall fetch your rings, and I will assist you in the fittings as I am done with this wedding ring order. Mr Potter, Ms. Weasley, Mr Weasley, Ms. Granger, I shall see you next week. I am aware that you know these four individuals?" he said, motioning at the four before him before going to the backroom to get their order.
Ron, Ginny, and Harry glowered towards Percy while Hermione plastered another false smile on her face. "Percy, how good to see you" she said, sticking out her hand to shake his.
Percy stared as though stunned, but Penelope held her hand out towards Hermione. "Hermione, dear, how nice to see you again. So how have you been?"
"Busy. Ronald and I are both currently Head Boy and Girl. And now the four of us are in the process of planning this wedding. Ginny is in the process of testing through the remainder of 6th year to be placed with the 7th years after the holidays. Then it is time for the four of us to take the NEWTS and then (placing her hand on her slightly swollen abdomen) parenthood".
Ron and Harry placed arms around their fiancees as a shocked Percy finally regained his composure.
"How... nice. Ronald, you managed to both achieve the title Head Boy and impregnate your girlfriend in the same year. And Ginny, I am shocked. You are actually intend to bring him into the family. And Mother and Father are accepting this situation with open arms are they?"
"Yes, I find that Mum and Dad are very supporting of us" said Ginny, placing a hand on her own swollen abdomen.
"Supporting, more like mad" scoffed Percy turning towards Penelope. "Penny, you now see why I do not associate with them anymore".
"Actually, I do not, but I love you and I am willing to do whatever it takes to see that boy I fell in love with years ago".
Percy's eyes flickered before becoming hard again "I became an adult, that is what changed. I learned that petty desires will bring nothing in life".
Ron unclenched his fists, finally being able to speak in a steady, firm tone. "For that, I pity you, you are nothing more than a egotistical bastard who needs to do us all a favor and go fu-"
"Ron, it's not worth it, lets just finish up what we have to do so that we can meet up with the rest" Harry interrupted.
"Yes Ron, why don't you listen to your friend here, he has seemed to dominate you every other time".
With this, Ron swung towards Percy only to have his hand caught by Hermione. "Ronald Weasley, violence is not the key, you must reason your differences".
"That, love, will never happen in this situation" hissed Ron, through clenched teeth.
Hermione glared at Ron before turning towards Penelope. "Penny, I apologize for this behavior. Please owl me at Hogwarts sometime, I would like to hear from you more often, now that we will be family. (to this Ron rolled his eyes) Yes Ronald, she will be family. Anyways, we are late meeting our parents, so I will hopefully be hearing from you soon?"
Penelope gave a hard glance towards her own fiancee before turning towards Hermione and embracing her. "Yes Hermione, you shall be hearing from me soon".
With this, Hermione ushered the rest out of the store, to meet Mr and Mrs Weasley and surprisingly, Fred and George.
"Hello little brother, we decided to swing by and do some shopping when we ran into Mother and Father here.
"Well, what took you so long?" said Mrs Weasley. "We are going to meet the rest at Honeydukes before returning you four to the school."
"Hermione just stopped me from doing something I have longed for doing for years" Ron grumbled, glaring at his future wife.
Fred and George laughed. "and what did the mean ole wifey stop widdle-ickle-Ronikins from doing?" cooed George.
Ginny rolled her eyes "Percy the Great and his fiancee are in there recieving fittings for their wedding bands".
Mrs Weasley's eyes watered a little "Percy didn't even tell us he was engaged..."
Mr Weasley comforted his wife "Molly, it's alright, I'm here".
Fred and George suddenly had angry expressions on their faces. "Excuse me, I think there's some unfinished busines to deal with" said Fred, cracking his knuckles.
Mrs Weasley then regained her stern composure. "There will be no such thing, Fred, George, I prohibit you from entering that store".
"Mum, what are we, five? You cannot prohibit us from entering a store" retorted George.
"Fred, George, please listen to Mum, don't enter that store" Ginny said.
"Ginny, give me one good reason why I shouldn't walk into that store" Fred hissed into her ear.
"Because he's exiting the store as we speak" Ginny hissed back.
Harry and Hermione and Ron turned around to see that they were indeed exiting the store.
"Dear brother, how have you been?" George said in a sickingly sweet tone.
"Long time no see" added Fred in an identical tone.
"I do not have time for your impudence at this time, why don't you run along and play at your little toy shop" retorted Percy, who recieved a warning glance from Penelope.
"At least our little toy shop has earned us many galleons" said George, jingling a money bag that he removed from his dragon skin coat pocket.
Percy's eyes narrowed at his younger twin brothers. "Your arrogance has not wavered throughout the years, come Penelope there is more to do than talk to these individuals".
Penelope mouthed "I'm sorry" towards the glaring Weasleys, minus Mrs Weasley who looked as though she could burst into tears at any given second, before turning to walk away with her fiancee.
"Sure run away from it all, you were always a coward!" Fred yelled after Percy before turning back towards his family.
"Mum, dad, if we ever end up like that, please Avada Kedavra us" he said, with George nodding in agreement.
"Fred, George, don't ever let me hear you say that again" hissed Mrs Weasley before embracing them.
"Okay Mum, I get it, but now you're suffocating us" gasped George.
"Oh sorry" with this she released the twins which were now gasping for air.
Ron looked at his watch "Mum, we really need to be getting back to the school now, let's go meet the others".
"Right. Fred, George, I will see you at dinner tomorrow night, come on you four, we need to go to meet the rest".
"Nice to see you again Gin, Hermione. Both looking a bit round today" they added with grins.
With this, Ginny stuck her tongue out at her brothers, and Hermione smiled ruefully at them. At the same time, each girl grabbed their fiancee and snogged him senseless.
"Ahh my eyes!" "Get a room!" they yelled.
Laughing loudly at the horrified twins, the four turned and followed Mr and Mrs Weasley towards Honeydukes to meet the others, to head back to the school.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Next chapter is the wedding, and I hope to have the next chapter up and running soon. enjoy!.
