Day 167.
I think I need to tell you about the honeymoon. It was amazing. We went on the most amazing trip to Spain of all places. The place doesn't sound amazing but it is incredibly romantic. I love this place. Anyway. Harry and I had a great time. And we were always spending time with each other. I loved this. I loved him.
Anyway we're packing. We're apparating home today. I bought heaps for Hermione and everyone. Speakng of which are getting married in two days. I have bought her the most amazing set of jewlery to repay her for the beautiful necklace. Hermione wrote and says she has put together the album. I can't wait to see it! But Hermione will be amazed to see me. She didn't think I would be home in time enough to throw her a hens night so she was planning on staying home tomorrow night. Not if I can have it my way. I have planned her a great night. Anyway. I have to go now.
Ginny Potter.
I'm home. Sweet home. I collapsed on my bed as soon as we got in. Harry smiled and put his head on my stomach and I stroked his head gently. We both knew it was great to be back. I just thought I would write about my homecoming. Tomorrow Hermione and Ron are going to come here. Thinking that they are just going to feed Arnold. But we would be here and I would whisk Hermione away to her room that I am going to prepare today. It will be the cream room. I have beautiful dressing screens, mirrors and a large cream bed. I got ready in there so now it is her turn. I'm glad for her. I know Ron is happier than I have ever seen him. I have seen him looking at Hermione. He is in absolute adoration. He loves this girl. I saw him with Lavender (hypocrite) and he was just snogging coz he needed to someone to prove that he wasn't experienced like an 11 year old. But around Hermione he isn't pressuring or awkward. He is comfortable and happy, like I have never seen him. Even Hermione has taken a turn for the better. In the week she was at our place waiting for our weddings, she looked perkier. She began to let her curls out over her shoulders of a morning. She would wear V-neck shirts and hipster jeans. We both brought the best out of each other and we gave each other advice. Hermione told me to never give up on Harry and have surprise, surprise (!) I'm married to him now! And I would always calm Hermione when my brother dearest was being a total jerk.
She helped
me get through the worst of everything and she was at my shoulder
after my family's funeral. Harry and Ron stood by me during the
funeral but they both left me to cope afterwards. Hermione, (being a
girl) completely understood. She was there to hold my head as I
cried. And she was there for me to get over Harry last summer. Harry
is the best thing that has ever happened to me. And Ron has had the
same effect on Hermione.
I think Ron, Harry and her how a real
friend acts. Ron gve her challenges for ages but he was her first
crush. The longest lasting one too. She had been crushing on him
since her 4th year. I remember talking to her before the
Yule Ball. She was so hopeful that Ron would ask her to the Ball. But
after I have all helped her in our own way. Harry strengthened
Hermione and showed weeks, Viktor Krum approached her she was
reluctant. But the very next day Ron was insensitive and she fronted
Viktor up with a yes. Of course she sobbed that entire night too. And
I kept her company. I also coaxed her out of her shell. She never
thought that she would wear a pair of jeans. She always wore her knee
length skirt and socks. But now we have influenced her so much she is
an amazingly strong and beautiful woman. Hang on, I have to go. Ron
and Hermione are about to unlock our front door.
Ginny,
Later,
They were so surprised. They opened the door and I had made really, really nice chocolate fudge brownies. They were warm at the time. And I also had brewed a fresh pot of coffee. Ron walked in and he couldn't see anything but he could smell something. He sniffed and he said, 'Mione' can you smell anything? We didn't burn anything last night did we?'
Even Hermione sounded puzzled, 'I don't think so. I can smell chocolate too. Come on. I think that the we'll have to search the house.'
She sounded genuinely puzzled and she led Ron into the kitchen and she saw Harry and I sitting at the table. I had my legs folded and my jeans were bagging at my feet. My hands were wrapped around my mug of coffee and I was wearing a hot pink tee. Harry was smiling happily opposite me and he had a hand on my spare hand.
Hermione looked incredibly shocked, and then her face split into a smile, 'You're hear already!'
She smiled and rushed over and hugged both of us. 'How was your honeymoon?'
I laughed and I said, 'Well, I'll show you ok?'
I grabbed her hand, briefly kissing my brother on the cheek as I left the room. He was still dazed but Harry supported his best friend. I gave Hermione the most beautiful Spanish skirt. It was knee length and it was a beautiful turquoise. It had a fishtail sort of bottom and it was made of floaty material. It looked fantastic on Hermione. Soon after, Ron and Harry came up with cup of coffee and a plate of brownies for us. We all sat up in our room and we began to hand out gifts that we had bought. Hermione adored a pair of beautiful beaded earrings that I had bought or her. At about four o'clock Harry and I looked at each other and smiled. Harry grabbed Rons arm and said, 'Hey mate. I need your help. I need to pick up some stuff from Diagon Alley ok?'
Ron nodded indifferently and he followed my husband out. Then I grabbed Hermione's hand.
'Now… there is no husbands slash fiancés. They are currently on their way to.. oh I won't tell and you are now currently on your way to the movies and dinner with me!'
Hermione looked confused. And then it dawned her, 'Gin. You can't throw me a hen's party! You've only just come back from Spain!'
'So?'
'But… But..'
'Go get ready. Now.'
Hermione smiled and dashed out of the room clutching the new clothes and earrings I had bought her. She arrived ten minutes later in my room. She was wearing a floating, long top in a beautiful light turqiouse blue. It went perfectly with the skirt she was wearing.
'You look fantastic!' I told her. She smiled. She was wearing my makeup. A streak of black kohl and smoky grey eye shadow a pile of lip-gloss and a little bit of pale rouge. She looked great. We had a great time watching a sappy muggle movie and then we went out to a great restauraunt. Hremione kept trying to pay but I refused. Eventually, after a fudge brownie sundae, we lef tto go back. I showed Hermione to her knew chambers. She looked so happy. I shoved her onto her bed and then I showed Hermione, her knewly organized wardrobe. I showed her a new pair of beautiful pair of pyjama's. Then the silky robe that went with it. Then I displayed her dress and her and I admired it for a while. Finally, I left Hermione to sleep and I padded down into my room where I tried to sleep. I couldn't so I recounted today's events in here. Harry's coming in just now. Gotta go.

Day 168
Goodmorning. It is Hermione's wedding day. I am going to go wake her up. I'll be back later.
Later,
Well that was a little later than I had planned. I padded down the newly carpeted hallway and into her room.
''Mione!' I whispered.
Hermione stirred and then woke up. She opened her eyes and her bluey grey eyes focused on my face.
'Morning!' I said.
She smiled and then her grin sagged. 'I'm getting married aren't I?'
I nodded and smiled at her. 'Yeah and you gotta look good!'
She got up nervously.
'I know. I know.' I braced her. I helped lace her into her strapless dress. She smiled as the gown swirled. I took pictures of her looking at herself in the mirror. She looked great. Then I brushed her hair gently. Her curls were silky and smooth. It shone and I began to pin her hair up in the style that she had always wanted. She smiled. I let a few stray curls fall over her face gently. Then I began her makeup. I started with a bit of foundation. It was only light and I swept it over her face, finishing it off with a loose powder. Then I painted her lips and browny, pink colour. Of ocurse I added a lot of gloss on top of that. I chose a light smoky eye shadow to do her eyes with.
I knew Hermione was getting more nervous as she got more ready. I held her hand. She was breathing faster and then I pulled a box out of the wardrobe. There were her shoes. She had small strappy, silver shoes. I left her after a while to get myself ready. She had chosen me a beautiful bluey green dress. It hugged around my hips and it had an incredibly low neckline. I felt very self conscious about the fact that McGonagall would be there. I put the matching, silk slippers on. They looked and felt great. I then put the jewellery in place. I had many of the same colour beaded bracelets. Then I had round pearl earrings. I then snatched up the box that I had bought Hermione. I walked back and presented her with the beautiful set. Her eyes began to sparkle with tears and she hugged me, 'Thankyou Ginny! Oh..' she kept fussing over and over again.
Then Hermione's muggle parents tunred up looking very uncomfortable. Hermione smiled at their confusion. I helped her mother into her seats which Harry and I had set up early this morning. Then I decided to pay my brother a visit. I entered the room where Harry had lodged him. His red hair was standing out fantastically against his pale face. Even his freckles were noticeable. He looked up as I entered. Harry smiled and gave me a hug as I entered. We were both nervous about this too. Not only were we seeing our best friends get married this was our first 'outing' as a married couple.
I patted my brother on the back and then I went to get Hermione.
I have to go now. I'll tell you about the rest later.
Ginny
