"I look horrible!"

"You look ok Ginny."

"OK!" She shrieked, "I'm a wreck!" Angelina got up from her little chair and comforted the hysteric redhead.

"Ginny," she said, "You just had a baby. You're not getting any sleep. Of course you're a wreck. Don't worry. At the wedding, you'll look great." Ginny relaxed. The girls, Hermione, Ginny, Katie, Angelina, Penelope, Fleur, Constance, Tonks, Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Granger, had gone to the robes store where Hermione was getting her wedding dress on. The girls were getting their bridesmaids dresses fitted while Hermione was in the back with her dress. Hermione had been out all week to get the details correct. She was getting married in a week and she was stressed. She had steered clear of Ron and kept herself busy with Matt, but he was now gone on business.

"Hermione, are you ready?" Mrs. Granger called. There was a shuffling.

"Yeah… wait." Came the muffled reply. There was more shuffling, a thud, some swearing and then Hermione appeared. Everyone gasped. She was wearing a strapless ivory wedding dress. The dress was very form fitting, flaring out at the waist into a medium sized train. The veil was something Harry had actually picked out when he and Hermione had gone to lunch together. It was a top hat with the veil attached, making her whole outfit look amazing.

"Hermione… you look beautiful." Hermione smiled.

"Thanks." They stayed at the shop for a while longer than Hermione flooed back to her parents place to pick up Reign, who had stayed with her father for the day.

"Hey dad," Hermione called as she entered the kitchen. Reign ran up to her mother, jumping up and down.

"You wouldn't believe what happened! Granda took me to the park and this boy was picking on this dog. I went over to him and gave him a piece of my mind and you wouldn't believe what happened. The puppy came over and played with me. Can I keep him mum! Please!" The small girl rambled. Hermione looked down at the small little mutt in her daughter's hand.

"Reign. We have Crookshanks." The raven jumped up and down.

"Yeah, but you told me that Crookshanks got along with dogs." Hermione sighed.

"Go play outside."

"YEAH!" She squealed as she ran out the door with the dog.

"I never said yes." Hermione called after her. She shook her head and sat down at the kitchen stool.

"How was the fitting?" Mr. Granger asked. Hermione shrugged.

"It was ok." Mrs. Granger watched her daughter for a moment.

"Hermione?"

"Hmmm…"

"What's wrong? And don't tell me "nothing" because I saw that distracted look on your face." Hermione sighed.

"I'm just stressed that's all."

"Ron came over." Hermione spit out the tea she had been drinking.

"He comes over here!" Mrs. Granger smiled.

"Of course. He visits from time to time," she frowned. "He saved my daughter's life. He's welcome anytime." Hermione looked away.

"Hermione-"

"I've got to go." Hermione interrupted. She got up and went to the back door. "Reign! It's time to go!"

"Now?"

"Yes now!" The girl came in with the puppy and got her backpack.

"Buy Granda, Grandma." Hermione's parents nodded.

"Bye Reign. Hermione." Hermione waved and with that they disappeared in the green flames."

"If I find one scratch on her I swear I'll cut off everything that makes you a man." Fred and George smiled.

"Don't worry."

"We wouldn't dare hurt her." Fred said.

"Yeah. Especially since you've threatened us with dismemberment." Reign tugged on Hermione's sleeve. She leaned down and gave Reign a kiss on the head.

"Have fun." Reign nodded and left. Hermione went into her bedroom and sat down at her desk and stared at the picture on her desk. It was one of her, Harry and Ginny at their wedding. They were all waving. She sighed. She remembered the morning of Ginny's wedding day. She had been a wreck.

"Ginny! You need to calm down."

"I am calm."

"You're pacing." Hermione pointed out. Ginny stopped and looked at her, tears in her eyes.

"He should be here." Hermione sighed, knowing who she was talking about.

"He would want to be here." Ginny looked outside the window.

"I need him Hermione. Harry needs him. He was supposed to be the best man…"

Hermione sighed again. She had finally gotten Ginny into her wedding gown after their talk. Why am I still thinking about him? Just then a slam came to her door and the puppy started barking. Crookshanks, who had been lying on her bed hissed and shot out the door. Hermione grabbed her wand and walked to the bedroom door. She looked out but was unceremoniously pushed back.

"Ron." She hissed. "What are you doing here?"

"I have to ask you something?" She rolled her eyes and paced the room. Ron watched her.

"Can't you just leave me alone?" She begged. Ron grabbed her arm and shoved her into the wall.

"Will you just listen to me!" She stared at him wide eyed. Ron took a deep breath.

"Do you ever think about what would have happened if…" he hesitated but she could tell where he was headed.

"If you hadn't have gone to Azkaban?" Ron nodded, releasing her. Hermione looked away.

"Do you?"

"Ron."

"Why can't you answer the question?"

"WHY CAN'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"Why are you so incessant on making me leave?"

"Because I can't be distracted by you!"

"WHAT?"

"You're a distraction Ron." She looked away, tears in her eyes. "I can't think, with you around. I'm getting married… I can't deal with something like that." Ron took her hand.

"You can't marry him." Hermione closed her eyes, shrinking away back towards the wall.

"Don't." He took her head in his hands.

"Hermione look at me. No. Look at me." Hermione opened her eyes. "I can't let you go again. I lost you once. I'm not about to go through that again." She stared at him. He leaned in so that their lips were touching. "I love you, Hermione." He then kissed her gently. Hermione didn't struggle this time; she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back. He pressed her against the wall, deepening the kiss. She finally pulled away, looking into his eyes. She swallowed and then hesitantly took a grip on the hem of his shirt and pulled it up over his head. She gasped. His chest was covered in scars.

"Did you do this?" she murmured. He nodded, staring at her face. She stared for a moment then leaned in and kissed his chest. He took her face and kissed her lips again, pulling her closer. Their kisses grew in intensity as he pulled her towards the bed. He laid her down on the bed and continued to kiss her. His hands went up and down her body, causing her to shiver and moan. She pulled away one more time to look at him in the eyes.

"I love you, Ron…" They then plunged into a world full of love and lust. Letting waves and waves of pleasure overtake them…
