Hermione, Draco, Ginny, and Harry sat in the Malfoy house. The 4 friends sat together talking waiting for Fleur to come. "I really feel bad about not telling Ron." Harry said.

"I don't." Hermione answered. "I'm quite glad he isn't over here right now." She said.

A loud knock on the door startled them all. Hermione got up and opened the door. She slammed the door back and leaned against it.

"Hermione let me in!" Ron yelled. "This is really important."

Draco clenched his fists, Ginny had her hand over her mouth. "If you don't let him in he will see Fleur!" Harry whispered. Hermione slowly let him in and shut the door.

"I need to talk." He said.

"Are you going to grope me again Weasley?" Hermione asked worried.

"Why the bloody hell didn't you tell me Fleur was coming?" They went silent.

"Well I guess we could have left him outside it wouldn't have mattered." Ginny said.

"Not the time Ginny. Seriously! Why didn't you tell me? DO you want me to be bloody miserable?"

"Yes." Hermione answered. "And to let you know we didn't tell you because she asked us not to now leave my house now Weasley."

"You're not going to let me stay?" He asked.

"NO!" Draco answered. "Duh…"

"Fleur does not want to see you Ron. We're sorry…"

"You're sorry Potter. Not we, you." Hermione scolded.

A knock came on the door. "Ron you can leave through the back." Hermione opened the door anyway. "Hello Fleur… lovely to see you again!" She gave Fleur a hug.

"Fleur why the bloody hell didn't you want me to see you?"

"Ron?" She asked startled.

"Nice greeting huh?" Ginny whispered to Draco. He gave her a smirk and she laughed.

Hermione grabbed Fleur's bags and put them aside. She sat next to Ginny and Draco on the couch. Fleur stood next to Ron. "I said I didn't want him here." She said.

"Don't worry neither did we." Draco said.

"Come on guys don't shut me out!" Ron walked over to Ginny. "Come on Ginny I'm your brother."

"No… Ron Weasley is my brother. You are Ron Hermione-lover-groping-Perve Weasley." Ginny said.

"What?" Fleur asked confused. "Ron I don't want to talk to you right now."

"Why!"

"Because we are over ok! O-V-E-R over… Please Ron don't make this harder then it is." Fleur yelled.

Ron walked out of the house and slammed the door. As he did everyone flinched. Fleur turned to everyone and straightened out her dress. "Sorry about that."

"No worries… Come, come sit down. We'll have a chat and catch you up on things." Ginny said. Fleur sat down on the couch with Harry.

"So… wedding bells?"

"And baby bells." Corrected Hermione.

"Baby?" Fleur looked over at Ginny. "I knew you weren't just fat." She joked. "How far along?"

"5 months and a bit." Explained Ginny.

"Wait what did you call Ron? Uh… Ron Hermione-lover-groping-perve? What happened?" Asked Fleur.

"Well a week ago we had an incident. He kissed me and now we have un-invited him to the wedding. But, Fred said he was willing to take Ron's place."

"Oh… so who's doing what?" Fleur asked.

"Well, Ginny walks down with Harry obviously. You will walk down with George, Bill gets the honour of walking Professor McGonagall, and Fred is going to walk down with Cho." Hermione answered.

"Cho is coming? How wonderful I haven't seen her in years. How are the rest of the Weasley's by the way?" Fleur asked Ginny.

"Oh I'm fine." Ginny laughed. "Oh… they're just great."

Fleur smiled. "I was glad to come down here. It's lovely to be back near Hogwarts again."

"Yeah… we don't really care since it's right up the hill but…" Harry trailed off.

Fleur gasped and clapped her hands. "Hermione I must see your dress!"

Hermione's eyes lit up. "Alright! I'll put it on and show you." As Fleur and Hermione got up, Hermione turned to Ginny. "Ginny I'll need some help."

Ginny laughed and got up. "Be back soon." Ginny grumbled.

"The wedding's getting close huh?" Harry said.

"Yeah… Hermione is totally jammed with stuff to do. Some of it isn't even the wedding! Fleur is going to help her plan the baby shower for Ginny, she has to make sure everyone gets here, and she has the stress Ron is putting on her." Draco explained.

Harry nodded. "For some reason… as much as I hate Ron for what he did, I feel bad. I don't know why. Maybe it's because he is my closest friend."

"Yeah… I understand." Draco said.

Upstairs

Fleur gasped. "Hermione that is the most beautiful dress I have ever seen." Fleur smiled. "You look gorgeous… Malfoy is going to cry."

"That's what we are aiming for." Ginny laughed.

"I have a surprise for you. Well, not just for you two, it is a present for Cho and even McGonagall." Hermione pulled out 4 identical dresses but in 4 different colors. Baby blue, baby pink, baby green and soft yellow.

The dress was a strapless with two ties coming from the middle to tie around the neck. The top was beaded and the bottom was silky smooth and beaded at the bottom. "They are stunning!" Ginny cried.

"I know!" Hermione giggled. "Pick your colour." She said. (A/N: Canadian spelling of colour)

Ginny ran her fingers over the beads on the baby green dress. "This one is mine." She laughed and picked it up.

Fleur grabbed the blue one and a tear fell from her eye. "Thank you!" She gave Hermione a hug. "I think Cho will pick the pink dress."

"Yellow for the lady." Hermione folded the two remaining dresses and stowed the away. "I'm going to change."

Later, Downstairs…

"Well Ginny and I better go. It is getting really late." Harry pulled Ginny up and they said good-bye.

"Well we should head off to bed. See you in the morning Fleur." Hermione and Draco headed upstairs.

As Fleur went to blow out the candles, a figure appeared outside. She grabbed her wand and was prepared to strike. Thrusting the door open her wand struck the face of Ron Weasley.

"Ron… go away." He pulled her into the darkness of the night.

"Fleur. Please don't leave me!"

"You only want me because you don't have anyone else Ron." His grip tightened on her arm. "Ron you've gone mad. Ron… RON please let go of me!" Fleur pushed her face away as Ron attempted a kiss.

With a flick of her wand he was forced backwards and crashed to the ground. Fleur tripped as she walked back towards the house.

"Fleur please!" Ron screamed.

Crying Fleur jumped into the house and locked the door. She sat against it trembling with fear as Ron hit the window. She ran upstairs into her room, putting all the thoughts of Ron in the back of her head. She now knew why Hermione was so scared.
