"Ron!" Hermione screeched as soon as she apparated into Ron's lounge room.
Harry woke with a start, almost falling off the couch, angry at rhe person who had woken him from his dream of a beautiful dark haired women.
"Ronald Weasley," Hermione shouted again, ignoring Harry on the lunge room, she walked toward the red heads room, but stopped as it opened and Ron came out, fully dressed and looked as if he'd been up for ages.
"What's up Mione?" He said as Harry sat up on the couch and he plonked himself next to him.
"Don't Mione me, how could you do this to Harry?" she said furiously, waving a piece of parchment in the air, "After all the work we we've been doing too,"
"Do what?" Ron asked confused, Harry looked on equally confused, but still distracted by the girl in his dreams.
"This," Hermione hissed and shoved the paper into Ron's hands.
"We met Blaise's cousin last night," Harry said, clearly not bothered or listening to the fact that he was in the paper's once again, Hermione however was not listening to him, watching Ron instead.
"I didn't even ask him yet," Harry heard Ron mutter next to him. Finally he decided to look at the paper, which he did evenly as it fell out Ron's hand's as he grabbed it.
CANNONS SIGN POTTER!
"I haven't been signed," Harry, said to no one in particular, as he looked at a picture, which showed him and Ron leaving the Cannons Arena.
"According to that article you have been," Hermione responded as Ron put his head in his hands.
"I didn't even know you needed a new seeker," Harry said skimming over the article, "Ron?" he looked up when his friend didn't reply.
Ron stood up and began pacing the room.
"Well, you see…the thing is Harry…" Ron stuttered.
"Get to it Ron," Hermione interrupted, he glared at her.
"Taples, he decided to retire early and the coach asked me to see if you were interested, I was supposed to tell him on Monday," Ron mumbled, "but I know your not interested,"
"I guess it wouldn't be so bad," Harry said slowly.
"What?" Hermione and Ron said together, both equally shocked but for different reasons.
"Harry, your not a kid any more," Hermione protested
"Really you'd do it, you'd play with us?" Ron asked excitedly.
Harry nodded, a grin forming on his face. It wouldn't be so bad he thought to himself, besides it's what I would have done if I hadn't left, that or auror training, but who wants to be an auror now?
"Harry what about the job at the ministry?" Hermione said.
"Who cares about the bloody ministry," Ron cried as Hermione glared at him, "I mean it's Harry Mione, you didn't really expect him to have a desk job did you?"
"What I did expect Ron, is that after four years, Harry, and you for that matter, would have finally grown up," She hissed, before apparating out.
"Your definitely serious about his mate?" Ron asked turning to Harry.
"Well I do need a job, quidditch will just make it more enjoyable," Harry replied.
"Excellent," Ron said slapping him on the back (in a friendly way), "I better go tell Coach then, you can let yourself out alright?"
Harry sat on Ron's couch as he heard the distinctive pop of him apparating out, in awe of what he had just agreed to do. Glancing at his watch he found that it was almost twelve o'clock and he decided that it was probably time he got out of the stupid clothes he still had on from the previous night. Picking up the dress robe he had thrown over a chair he made sure Ron's front door was locked before apparating into Blaise's apartment. Only to walk into a coffee table that he swore wasn't there last time he had been here.
He could faintly hear Hermione in the kitchen with Blaise, and decided that now was not the time to try to explain things to her. Instead he made his way toward the bathroom.
"Harry, your back," Blaise said as he came out his room and passed Harry who was at the bathroom door.
"But you…. Hermione…she's…. the kitchen," Harry said weakly as he heard Hermione continue talking in the kitchen.
"Um, Harry are you okay?" Blaise asked moving down the hallway toward the kitchen, "You didn't drink too much last night did you?"
Shaking his head, Harry followed him into the kitchen.
"Harry," Emma Zabini's voice filled the kitchen as he entered, Hermione glared at him, but turned toward the sink
"Oh, um hi," Harry said taken back a little, "how's your friend?"
"Sarah, she's okay, thanks to you and Ron of course" she trailed off as Blaise looked at her funny.
"Well, um, I should probably go have a shower," Harry said scratching the back of his head.
As Harry went down the hallway to the bathroom he could hear their voices faintly before the now familiar sound of apparating.
Blaise and Hermione entered the kitchen of the burrow, to find a frantic Ginny Weasley sitting at the kitchen table, her head in her hands, and about a thousand papers covering the table. Draco was standing at the sink with her father, a slightly amused look on his face.
"Hermione, every things a mess," Ginny said looking up as they entered. Blaise looked at Draco who rolled his eyes and nodded his head toward the door, where he and Arthur exited, Blaise following shortly behind.
"Gin, what's the matter?" Hermione said sitting down, picking up one of the papers, it was a menu for the wedding.
"Everything, the menu's all wrong, Draco and Blaise's dress robes won't be ready on time, we don't have a photographer, my dress probably won't fit, the twins will try to pay some prank," Ginny said putting her head back in her hands, her elbows leaning against the table, she let out a groan.
"I don't see anything wrong with this menu Gin," Hermione pointed out, making her mistake.
Ginny looked at her, eyes blazing.
"They have fish patties, Mione, fish patties, who the hell has fish patties at their wedding," Ginny said furiously.
Hermione didn't respond, placing the menu back on the table. Through the window she could see Blaise, Mr Weasley and Bill on the porch, while Mrs Weasley was watching Bills children in the garden.
"I'm sure your Mum will be more than happy to fix the food," Hermione finally offered, "and do you really think Madam Malkin's hasn't already finished Draco's robes?"
Ginny still didn't look convinced as Draco re-entered the kitchen.
"And if your dress doesn't fit it doesn't matter cos I don't plan on you wearing it for long," He said kissing her on the cheek and then leaning against the kitchen bench.
"Draco," Ginny sighed, although she couldn't hide the smile, "this is serious,"
"So am I," he replied.
"What about the photographer though, it's too late to get one in less than a weeks notice," Ginny frowned, "I guess we'll just have to memorise everything,"
"Not that you won't be doing that anyway," Draco joked.
"I know someone," Hermione said suddenly as Draco shook his head.
"I've already got it covered," He told the two girls, "you actually thought that these last few weeks of sitting and listening to you all plan our wedding day and I didn't notice that you forgot a photographer?"
They both looked at him.
"I can actually do things on my own, besides I got Blaise to help me, some one he knows or something like that," Draco told them when no-one spoke, "the girl who took your photos for that magazine thing, Hermione,"
"Emma?" Hermione said suddenly, "Blaise's cousin?"
"Yeah that's her name, although he never said it was his cousin," Draco answered.
"Why didn't you tell me we forgot about it?" Ginny suddenly demanded.
Draco shrugged, "I was waiting until you realised so that i could surprise you with it."
"Really?" Ginny asked and Draco nodded in reply.
It was here when Hermione caught the signs. Ginny's eyes glazing over slightly, a dreamy expression on her face.
"Uh, guys, I'll be outside," She told them and slipped through the back door.
Sitting on the porch swing between Blaise and Bill Weasley, Hermione listened to the three men talk about Harry's new quidditch position. Mrs. Weasley soon joined them on the porch, although keeping a close eye on her grandchildren, the topic soon changed to the youngest Weasley's wedding.
"So, Hermione, Blaise, have you guys set a date yet?" Bill asked them.
Hermione looked at Blaise, who slipped his hands in hers.
"We haven't really discussed it yet," Blaise told them, which was the truth, they hadn't talked much about it because they were still yet to officially announce it, only telling the Weasley and Zabini families, "hopefully it won't be too long after Ginny and Draco's though."
Mrs. Weasley beamed at the though of another wedding to plan. Hermione took a deep breath, deciding to use that opportunity to share her thoughts; it was a good as any time to tell Blaise anyway.
"Well, actually, I was thinking it might be better to wait until after the elections," Hermione said quickly.
"Oh," Mrs Weasley's voice came, but Hermione was oblivious to everything around her except for the fact that Blaise had let go of her hand and was now staring at her.
"Molly, everyone will be arriving soon," Arthur told his wife, "Bill why don't you take the kids inside while I help your mother set the table,"
In a matter of minutes Hermione and Blaise were left alone. He stood and leant against the railing, leaving her alone on the swing.
"Blaise," Hermione stood next to him and put her hand on his arm.
"Do you want to marry me Hermione, because if you don't tell me now before we make a mistake," He said turning toward her, but pulling away so she wasn't touching him.
"Of course I want to marry you Blaise, I love you," she said, taking a step forward.
"Then why wait so long?" he asked simply.
The house was suddenly full of the Weasley family, apparently all-arriving at once.
"Fred, wait, don't go out there," Bill's voice came through the back door as Fred ran out carrying Bills youngest son.
Blaise looked at Hermione, still waiting for her answer.
"Can we talk about it later?" She hissed at him as Ron, George and a group of Weasley children followed Fred out, Bill standing at the door looking apologetic.
"Whatever," Blaise replied and went inside.
"What was that about Mione?" Ron asked, coming up beside her.
"Nothing Ron, nothing," she told him before disappearing inside again.
