Wedding Plans…

I didn't get a chance to speak to Harry after the party, and weeks passed without me mentioning the incident with Ron to anyone. My mum and I had finalized most of the wedding plans and were going shopping for a dress the last weekend in July. That was also the weekend of Harry's birthday and I thought maybe I could talk to him sometime before then. I didn't want to miss his party, but I also didn't want to get cornered somewhere again. The Friday before, I owled Harry and told him to meet me at my house. Draco had gone shopping for some clothes for the wedding and would be gone for hours. He arrived at about 2 pm and knocked on the door.

"Hermione, hello? Are you there?" he asked as he rapped on my door.

"Hey Harry, come in and sit down." I walked to the counter and grabbed some drinks for us. I sat down on the couch and looked into his emerald green eyes. This was going to be rough.

"So what is this all about Hermione?" he asked raising one eyebrow.

"Well, Harry, it's Ron." I looked him in the eyes. "He hurt me."

"What? What do you mean he hurt you?" he looked alarmed.

"At my housewarming party he…." I broke off and started to cry.

"He what?" his voice was filling with rage and anger.

"He, well he locked me in the bathroom over there and told me he wanted to talk. He told me he didn't want me to marry Draco, and that he loved me still and he knew that I loved him deep down somewhere. I told him I loved Draco, and tried to leave, but he held my shoulders to the door and tried to kiss me."

Harry's eyes widened with shock.

"When I moved my head to avoid his kiss, he grabbed my face and forced me. He then started kissing my neck and put his hands inside my blouse. I kicked him in the groin and ran out of the bathroom. I haven't talked to him since, and you are the only one I have told." my red eyes looked into his shining green ones.

"Oh Hermione," he said, pulling me into a tight embrace. "How could you not tell me for all these weeks?"

"I didn't want to ruin the party that night and I just haven't had the opportunity to tell you. This is not the sort of thing you put in a letter." I sniffed and he handed me a tissue.

"Ron, what a prat he has been lately. I wondered what his problem was. He cancelled for my party, said he was busy."

"I just don't know what to do Harry. I feel betrayed, I love him as a friend, but if he can't accept that I feel our friendship is done." tears filled my eyes again.

"Ever since he found out about the two of you he has changed. At first he was mad, we both were, but then I thought he accepted it and moved on with Hannah. But after she dumped him, he fell apart. He wouldn't talk to me about what happened. He just said he couldn't live without her. I assumed he meant Hannah, but now I see he meant you." he looked thoughtfully at the picture of us at the graduation ball that was sitting in a frame on the end table.

"We all looked so happy that night didn't we?"

The six of us waved from that silver frame, all smiling and happy.

"Yeah, we were happy. Or at least I thought we all were. Oh Harry, what am I going to do? If Draco finds out he will kill Ron."

Harry looked at me and hugged me again.

"I will talk to him about this Hermione. And I will make him understand how you feel." he stood up to leave. I hugged him tightly.

"Owl me when you can." I told him as he walked out the door and disappeared on the porch.

My mum and I went shopping the next day for a dress. Immediately I thought of Madam Derine's in Hogsmead, and soon I had my mum convinced too. I had her do a side along apperation with me so we could get there quickly. She didn't like it at all and it took several minutes before we could walk up the road towards Madam Derine's shop.

"Have you talked to dad about the wedding yet? Its only weeks away." I asked hopefully.

"I've brought it up, but he is avoiding the subject." my mum said hastily.

"I want him to walk me down the aisle though, but if he isn't willing Mr. Weasley said he would be more than happy." I said bitterly.

"I will convince him honey, he just needs more time."

"More time? I only have 2 weeks and a few days. August 15th mum, I need you both there."

"Alright dear, let's just get your dress picked out that is the last detail we have."

We finally arrived at Madam Derine's cottage and walked in the room. She appeared within seconds.

"Welcome, welcome to Madam Derine's. What can I do for you?" she said brightly.

"Well," my mum began "my beautiful daughter here needs a dress for her wedding." tears shone in her eyes.

"Ah yes, didn't you come in here a few months ago for a ball gown? Green with moonflowers?" she said looking me over.

"Yes, and it was wonderful, and now I need the most beautiful wedding gown ever."

"All right," she said "you know the procedure, get undressed and think of your dress. Your mother can sit right here."

I did as I was told and stood there in only my knickers and thought hard about my dress. I wanted white with lots of jewels and rhinestones, full satin, off the shoulder. I thought these things over and over, until my face turned red and was screwed up in concentration. I am Draco Malfoy's bride. Give me something fitting of him.

When I stepped out of the curtain I lost my breath as I stood in front of the mirror.

The dress was fitted, tight around the bodice, and a full skirt that went all the way to the floor. The hemline was trimmed with lace and diamonds, and there were diamonds sewn into the skirt of the dress. The sleeves were off the shoulder showing just enough cleavage. The back of the dress was simple with about 35 hook and eye buttons. The train was long and ruffled, but could be bustled up for a fuller skirt later on. I wore the silver snowflake Draco gave me for Christmas, and some small diamond earrings. My hair was curled in ringlets and swept up in the front, but left down in the back. My veil was simple and attached to a sparkling diamond tiara. I looked over at my mum, who was in tears at the sight of me.
"Is the crying good or bad?" I asked her.

"It's good, very good. You look like an angel." she cried, standing up to hug me.

"Another perfect dress." I said "I will take it."

With a wave of my wand I was redressed and the dress and accessories were packed up.

"That will be 150 Galleons" the plump witch told my mum.

"Anything for my little girl" she said as she pulled out her wizard money purse and handed it to me. I paid and we left. My mum was not looking forward to apperating back to my house, but it was the only way home.

Upon arrival Draco immediately ran out of the house to try to get a glimpse of the dress.

"Its bad luck" I said coyly and put the dress in my mum's car. "She is taking it home with her so no peepers can see." I laughed. He scowled like a little boy being denied his secret wish.

"All right then." he said "Goodbye Katherine." as we waved my mum off.

"Is your dad coming along any better?" he asked me as we walked up on the porch.

"No," I replied "my mum said he needs more time."

"The wedding is in 2 weeks!" he said alarmed.

"I know, but if he won't walk me down the aisle, Mr. Weasley said he would."

Draco huffed at this. I knew he still had some hard feelings towards Mr. Weasley for helping put his dad in Azkaban.

"It will work out my love." I told him, running my hand along his back, "I don't care who gives me away, as long as I am marrying you." He leaned in and kissed me and soon we made our way upstairs where we remained for the night.
