Chapter 5.
All about us!
(A/n: sorry for the long wait. I had to study for exams but it's here now.)
Ginny and Hermione used a port key and ended up at The Leaky Cauldron. Hermione's mother picked the girls up there and took them to the Inn where they were to stay for the night. That was also where the wedding was going to be held the next day. Hermione had her last dress fitting and finalised the plans for the ceremony. The weather was going to be great for an open roof dinner and dance. Ginny established that it would be full moon.
They slept in the Bride-and-co. suite that night. The next morning Mrs. Weasley arrived (seeing that she is the mother-in-law) and the women had a Champaign breakfast. Hermione and Ginny's nails where done after breakfast. While Hermione had her aromatherapy massage Ginny sneaked out of their room and went to explore the Inn grounds. She ran into Fred and they walked together from there on.
"Bill and Charley are coming," Fred told his sister.
"Did you hear from Percy?"
"Yeah, he is still deciding if he wants to come. Stupid Gitt" he answered.
"Is Angelina going to be your date?" Ginny asked as they walked past George and his new girlfriend."
"She's coming for the ceremony, she has to work till then. How about you? Do you have a date?"
Ginny blushed – merely thinking about Draco. She grinned as she remembered his kisses.
"I take that as a yes," Fred said grimaced at her infatuated expression. Ginny nodded.
'Well come on now, tell me. Who is it?"
She didn't answer, she just kept on smiling.
"A mystery man, hey?" he smiled at his sister who seemed to be in heaven.
Ginny went back to their room and took an aromatherapy bath of her own. She put on a bathrobe and walked to the front room. A hairdresser and a make-up artist were waiting for her. When Hermione returned from her massage, she too took a bath and had her hair and make-up done.
Ginny was finished and watching as Hermione was transformed into a beauty goddess. She sat at the window and watched as muggle magic was performed on her friend. An owl fluttered onto the windowsill and dropped a note. It was for Ginny.
"Outside, my love. Please come greet me." Was written in Draco's handwriting.
Ginny glanced out the window and saw him waiting. She sprang up and left the room quickly.
Draco stood waiting on the back lawn between the fresh summer trees. He saw a very pretty girl approach him. She was wearing a light blue dress that poofed out a little. She had difficulty walking it seemed as she adjusted the royal blue scarf around her neck.
"Hurry," he told her as Ginny walked closer.
"You try running in this dress" she playfully scolded him.
"Maybe later" he joked and leaned in for a kiss.
"You look excellent," she said as she scanned him. He was wearing a strapping black suite with white cuffs and a loose neck.
"You, my dear…. you really look good enough to eat now." He said.
She blushed and grinned at him
"I told you I would, with a bit of make-up and a good hairbrush…voila"
"Yes you did" he kissed her again.
"Oh, I have to go. The wedding is about to start. Go and get a seat, I'll see you in a minute." She said quickly.
"Don't miss me too much," he said before kissing her goodbye and heading off to the white chairs.
Draco looked for an open chair. George was looking for his girlfriend and found the once-Slytherin lurking about. He walked towards him wanting to rip his head off.
"What are you doing here, Malfoy?" he spat out. George grabbed Draco's shoulder and moved him away from the crowd. Draco slipped out of his grip and through his hands in a sign of peace.
"Look Weasley, I have a valid invitation. I'm no party bouncer. I'm here to meet someone." He took out Ginny's invitation and showed it to George. George grunted and turned back to his seat. Draco looked again for a seat and found one in the second row. Not exactly what he wanted. But as long as he gets to see Ginny alright.
