"Please Hermione I want to see the dress again. Please pretty please?" Ginny begged.
Hermione stood tapping her foot and crossing her arms. "Come on Ginny you've seen it thousands of times. You'll get to see it in one week. I can't believe it is so close."
"Please Hermione?" Ginny begged. Hermione gave in and Ginny followed her up the stairs. Hermione changed in the bathroom while Ginny waited in the bedroom.
Hermione came out and spun one more time. Ginny stood in awe. "You look gorgeous everytime you put it on."
"I hope Draco likes it. You think he will?" Hermione asked all excited.
"Oh I don't care." Hermione looked confused as she stared at Ginny. She shook her head and stood in front of the full-length mirror.
"Thanks for helping me pick it out Ginny. And for helping put it on before. I finally know how."
"Ugh…so lucky." Hermione glared at Ginny confused.
"Are you okay? You seem a little off." Hermione asked. Ginny nodded and Hermione looked back in the mirror. "So… I'm very worried that Ron is going to show up at the wedding."
Ginny perked up. "Oh… I don't think he will." She said.
"Yes I hope not. But I still think he will. I mean the bloody nerve of that Weasley. I still do not understand how you two are related Ginny. He used to be so sweet and-" Hermione trailed off. She spun around to look at Ginny.
"What? Hermione are you ok?"
"I'm… fine?" Hermione questioned herself. Looking in the mirror again she held her breath. She cracked her fingers and suddenly became drowsy.
"Hermione? You don't look good. You need a cloth?' Ginny asked her.
She nodded no and returned staring into the mirror. She shook her head and took a breath. 'No way…' She thought to herself. But as Hermione gazed into the mirror, she saw it again.
"Oh my god…" Hermione locked herself in the bathroom. She breathed heavily.
"Are you ok 'mione? Are you sure you don't need anything?" Ginny asked.
"No… I'm fine." She squeaked. 'Impossible…' She thought again. To make sure, she came back outside. "Just a little dizzy that's all." She said.
But, as Hermione was sure she was seeing things, it happened again. She pressed her back against the wall and stared at Ginny. There, Ginny sat on Hermione's bed, twiddling her thumbs.
"Oh my god…" Hermione screamed. She ran into the bathroom to change first of all. She came out and stuffed the dress under her bed. As she looked up, Ginny sat twiddling her thumbs again. Pushing tears to the back of her eyes she motioned for Ginny to stand up.
"What?" Ginny screamed.
"Ginny can you leave please?" She acted calm. Hermione grabbed Ginny's arm and pulled her up. "Please Ginny just go."
"Hermione what is wrong you are scaring me?" Ginny said. Hermione pulled Ginny down the stairs talking to her the whole way.
As Hermione got to the door Ginny resisted. "Please Hermione can you take a breath? Ginny asked. "You are hyperventilating."
Hermione let go and took a breath. "Ginny will you please just go?"
"Hermione why?"
"Ginny please-"
"'Mione?"
"Ginny just can't you leave I have things to do." Hermione's voice tone rose louder.
"Hermione?"
"RON WEASLEY GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" Hermione finally screamed. She threw 'Ginny' out of the house and locked the door.
"Hermione let me talk to you."
"Ron why can't you just leave me alone?"
"Because I LOVE YOU!" Ron screamed.
"Ronald just leave me alone Draco will be home in a couple minutes. And what the bloody hell did you do with Ginny?"
"Polyjuice potion of course she's sleeping at home." Ron said.
Hermione regretted teaching Ron the potion. She looked at Ron through the peephole. He paced in front of the door wildly. "I don't care if Malfoy comes home I'll bloody knock him out."
"You couldn't do that if you tried Weasley!" Hermione yelled. "Ron just please leave me alone! Fleur is already creeped out by what you did last night." Hermione screamed.
It fell quiet outside. Hermione was scared to look through the peephole. As she was about to look the door flung open and Fleur and Draco walked through the door.
"Hermione… what are you doing?" She asked laughing.
"Uhh… I was about to check if you were coming." She lied. The three sat on the couch. "You might not want to be here for the baby shower Draco." Hermione said.
"Yeah I know… Harry and I are leaving when he drops Ginny off." He explained.
A few people arrived for the party in the next couple of minutes. Mrs. Weasley, Cho, Parvati, and Professor McGonagall all showed up within a few minutes of the person before them. Ginny came last. Harry and Draco left, Ginny was excited to get some baby presents.
"Hermione I want yours first." Ginny smiled. Hermione passed her a heavy package wrapped in silver paper with moving Snowmen. "I love the wrapping!" Ginny joked and everyone laughed. Inside was a pink photo album with pressed flowers on it. The photo pages were baby green with roses in the corners of them. "Awe 'mione it is so pretty! Thank you…"
Fleur got the baby girl two dresses and matching slippers. The penguins on the front danced around. Mrs. Weasley got Ginny a 'babies for dummies' book as a joke. She also got her 2 bottles for milk.
Cho bought a locket with a picture of Harry and Ginny inside of it. Ginny almost cried when she saw it. "She can wear it forever." Cho said to her. Parvati brought a huge bassinet with flowers that matched the book Hermione got. But Ginny really did cry when she saw the present Professor McGonagall got her. In the big box was a wand, a baby cloak, a Gryffindor robe and scarf. It all came in a package that she can carry around.
"She is a born Gryffindor." McGonagall smiled. Ginny felt tears fall from her face. On the robe was stitched 'in memory of Lilly Potter.'
When the party ended Ginny, Fleur and Hermione sat in the living room with bundles of baby stuff. "To think tomorrow Draco has to live with Harry and Ginny has to live here until the wedding in 6 days." Fleur reminded.
"Yay…" Hermione joked. "I'm going to miss him."
"Awe 6 days? Suck it up wuss." Ginny laughed. "I mean… poor you to you need a cup of tea?"
Hermione gave a fake smile. "I had another encounter with Ron this morning. Her used Polyjuice potion to make himself like you Ginny."
"SHUT UP!" Ginny screamed pushing Hermione's leg.
"I swear. The only reason I found out was because he was twiddling his thumbs." Fleur's eyes stayed wide and she became nervous.
"Ugh my disgusting brother. I am ashamed really." Explained Ginny. "I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't told you I hated it when people twiddle their thumbs…" Thought Ginny.
Ron kissed Hermione again. The potion wore off. He pushed her onto the bed and she screamed. Of course no one was home. No one would be home for at least an hour.
Hermione tried to force Ron off. She cried as she felt his tongue in her mouth, and her dress being torn off. Hermione pushed with all her might to get him off. Surprisingly, he was strong.
Disgusted she screamed and finally forced Ron to the floor. Before she could get up and out of the room, Ron was on her again. She fell weaker and soon was over powered.
She cried as Ron slipped his tongue back in her mouth. But next thing she knew he was off her and A blonde haired boy punched him several times. Fleur gave Hermione a hug as they both cried until Draco forced Ron out of the house.
