A/N For all of you who were wondering, the wedding will be chapter 40. I have started writing the sequel, which will be called 'Living the enchanted life' and will start posting right after the wedding. It follows them to the reception, the honeymoon and their lives after at the ministry. I hope you all will read it! Happy reading. Dont forget to review.

Girl's night out…

Meanwhile the details for the wedding were falling back into place. We hired a new band and I picked out new dresses for the girls. I was exhausted from planning and would be so happy when it was done. My mum helped out a great deal, and the site was coming together nicely. Professor McGonagall had agreed to let us marry on Hogwart's grounds, near the lake. She loaned us the Hogwart's express to transport our guests, the muggles my parents invited just thought it was being held at an ancient Scottish castle. I didn't know how they were going to get on platform 93/4, but I figured it would all work out. Besides, I had worried enough over this wedding and it was time to relax.

It was Saturday, the day before the wedding and I was packing things into a small overnight bag. My dress was already at Harry's, and Ginny was bringing all of her beauty stuff so we could so manicures, pedicures, facials and hair. Lavender and Pavarti would also be there. They were bringing the snacks and drinks and had mentioned something about doing horoscopes for us as well. It was looking to be a fun night, but Draco looked less than thrilled about being apart from me for even a day.

"This wedding tradition is stupid." he said scowling as I carried my bag down the stairs.

"It is tradition though, and who are we to break it?" I smirked, setting my bag by the front door.

"Well I don't like it." he pouted, kicking the end of the couch.

"Don't worry honey; I will make it up to you afterwards." I small smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes turned dark silver.

"You boys behave while I am gone, and don't leave too big of a mess." I kissed him passionately and ran my hand down the front of his pants. I felt him harden instantly and he let out a soft moan.

"Don't start something you can't finish." he whispered into my ear.

"Just wanted to give you something to think about tonight, in case you had any 'entertainment' lined up for your bachelor party." I joked.

"We don't!" he said with a shocked look. "We are just going to drink and talk."

"Yeah right." I knew Blaise. He would be bringing some slutty girl over to tease and tantalize. But I just pretended to believe him.

"Well, time for me to go. I love you. And just think, tomorrow, I will be your wife, and you will be my husband." I kissed him again.

"See you tomorrow, Mrs. Draco Malfoy." he smiled and blew me a kiss.

"Tomorrow, it can't come soon enough." I said before I apperated to Harry's.

When I arrived at Harry's, Ginny was already there. I had a feeling she had been there overnight. She was dressed in Harry's old quidditch jersey and nothing else when she answered the door. Harry was coming out of the bathroom, with only a towel on. He screamed when he saw me and ran into his bedroom. Ginny and I laughed until tears came out of our eyes. He walked out a minute later, very red in the face.

"Very funny guys." he said quietly.

"I didn't know you could turn the same color as your jersey Harry." I said, trying to keep from laughing again.

"Well Ginny could have warned me that you were here." he laughed

"You're right; I didn't need to see that." I smiled at him.

"Well, I'm off to your house. I will see you two tomorrow." he leaned in and kissed Ginny goodbye. He then walked over to me and hugged me tightly.

"I love you Hermione, I am so glad you are happy." his green eyes twinkled.

"Thank you Harry. I love you too. I'm so glad you decided to one of Draco's groomsmen. He doesn't have many friends anymore, and I know he thinks of you as one." I kissed him on the cheek and he blushed furiously.

"You guys have fun." he said to us and then with a 'pop' he was gone.

Minutes later Lavender and Pavarti arrived, carrying bags of snacks and drinks.

"Hi all" Lavender said brightly. Pavarti smiled as she handed me the bags. I walked into Harry's kitchen and got some glasses and bowls. Ginny in the meantime spread a big blanket on the living room floor and conjured about 20 large pillows so we could sit against them or lay on them. I brought our all the food and drinks and then went to change into my tank top and silky pajama bottoms. Lavender and Pavarti changed into short nightgowns and Ginny remained in Harry's quidditch jersey.

"So, are you nervous?" Lavender asked as she grabbed some chips.

"A little. Mostly because I had to write my own vows, that was hard."

"Let's read them." Ginny said.

"Oh no, no one will hear them until tomorrow. Draco has been hounding me all week to see what I have written. It's probably because he hasn't written his yet." I laughed.

"Well, I consulted my charts and you couldn't have picked a better night for it." Pavarti said.

"That's good," I lied to her. I put absolutely no faith in horoscopes and charts.

"So, I have been meaning to ask you something Hermione." Lavender said with a mischievous look in her eye.

"Yes," I said with some caution.

"Well, all of us girls have wondered about Draco's reputation, you know, in the bedroom." she blushed and giggled.

My face turned red.

"Well, what have you heard?" I was trying to dodge the question. I wasn't comfortable talking about our sex life.

"I heard that in our sixth year, he slept with all the Slytherin girls, and they said how amazing he was." her eyes were wide with interest.

"Well, I can tell you that him sleeping with all the Slytherins is not true. He was only with one girl before me. And yes I believe him."

"What about the other part?" Pavarti grinned.

"Well," my face was very red, "he is wonderful and special and every time with him makes my body burn. He was gentle and tender, but passionate at the same time." I smiled thinking of our love making last night, and him nibbling my ear and shoulder.

"Wow." Lavender sighed. "That sounds wonderful. I wish it could have been like that with Ron." she looked sad at that.

"What happened?" I asked her.

"He was in love with you." she said bluntly. "When he kissed me, I knew he was thinking of you, and when we…made love. He called me Hermione one time. I broke it off with him soon after."

I was in shock. I didn't think he would do something like that.

"Do you love him?" I asked Lavender.

"I do. He was my first." she had tears building in her eyes. "But I was nothing but a poor man's Hermione. No one can take your place in his heart."

I leaned in and hugged her.

"I wish I would have known I caused you and him so much pain. I tried to keep him as a friend, I told him I didn't love him but he persisted. And after that incident here at Harry's party, I haven't spoken to him since. But you're with Dean now, how's that going?"

"He's no Ron." she said, shaking her head.

I changed the subject quickly.

"So how's it going with Harry Ginny?"

"Great," she smiled. "Better than ever. By the way, don't talk about Ron having sex in front of me; I am his sister in case you forgot."

"Sorry, I forget sometimes." Lavender said blushing.

"What do you suppose the guys are doing right now?" Pavarti asked as she helped herself to some chips.

"Probably ogling strippers." I said laughing.

"What's a stripper?" Lavender asked. Sometimes I forgot how little these girls knew about Muggle things.

"It's a girl you hire to dance naked in front of you; lots of guys have them for their bachelor parties. One last look at freedom." I giggled thinking about it.

"WHAT?" Ginny yelled. "THEY ARE LOOKING AT SOME STRANGE NAKED GIRL?"

"I don't know for sure, Draco said they weren't. He said they were just going to drink and talk."

"I don't want Harry looking at some other girl." she said, standing up, shaking with fury.

Suddenly I realized that I didn't want Draco looking at some floozy either.

"I have an idea. Why don't we go over there, wait outside, if any girls show up, tell them that the party was cancelled, and we will go and dance for them."

"I DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO SEE ME!" Ginny screamed.

"We will disguise ourselves and take them in different rooms for a private session." I said. "Oh wait, what about Blaise?"

Lavender and Pavarti both jumped up.

"Blaise Zabini?" they both said at the same time.

"Yep, he is Draco's best man. It will look suspicious if he had no one dancing for him."

"We'll do it!" they shouted.

"What about Seamus and Dean?" I asked, not wanting to destroy anyone's relationship.

"What they don't know won't hurt them. Besides we will be in disguise, and Blaise is sooo hot." Lavender said.

"Ok, let's get ready, and go to my house." I said with a sly smile.
