New chapter! Yay!
Sorry about the delay, I've been a little preoccupied with getting my new fic "Project Retribution" rolling. Check it out!
Well anyways I wanted to warn you about the end before you get there...I had planned on Blaise being his usual goofy self around Luna and just having them react to each other but when I got them in the same room together...magic happened! I swear I had no control over my fingertips: Blaise and Luna were attracted all on their own!
Hah, love yall! Read on!

Early the next morning Blaise came bursting into Draco and Ginny's bedroom.
"Quick!" he yelled throwing open the window shutters to let the light stream in.
"Ack, light!" he then screamed, hastily throwing the shutters closed and clutching his head in pain, still in the in-between stages of completely drunk and totally hungover.
"Draco!" he shouted, bouncing up and down on the bed, "the rum!"
"Blaise?" Draco asked, cracking open an eye, "What's going on Blaise?"
Draco instinctively grabbed Ginny's small, still sleeping form and looked hastily around the room.
"Draco, the rum is gone!" Blaise said bewilderedly, stopping his bouncing.
Draco breathed a sigh of relief, let go of Ginny, and fell back gracelessly onto the bed.
"Yes, Blaise, the rum is gone."
"But…But why is the rum gone?" Blaise questioned, intent on an answer.
"The rum is gone because you DRANK it ALL, Blaise," Draco said as Ginny started stirring awake, "Now take a sobering potion and stop quoting that blasted movie."
"Oh you know you love it," Ginny teased, stretching lazily.
"Love? Love is a bit of an overstatement. I tolerated it the first 347 million times, but this--," he said pointing at Blaise who was now performing his own choreographed dance routine to 'A Pirate's Life For Me' , " –is taking it a little too far."
Ginny just chuckled and enjoyed the rest of the show.
After going completely off the deep-end and attempting a split in the middle of his dance, Blaise sobered up—way way up. He eventually packed up his bags and tearfully headed back to finish the offending time at Hogwarts before he could come back to the manor.
"Now with all that said and done," Ginny said, addressing Draco, "I think I'm going to go visit the twins and warn them about the upcoming wedding and what-not."
"Warn them?" Draco asked amusedly.
"Well…the twins get a little crazy around wedding talk actually, at my Aunt Myrna's wedding they charmed the punch with potion that made everyone's head swell to the size of a watermelon; and then at my Uncle Joe's wedding they practically had a fit trying to avoid wearing tuxes at all costs; there's no sure way to guess how they're going to react to my wedding."
"This doesn't sound like it's going to end well…"
"Ginny!" Fred and George screamed, clobbering her in a bear hug, when she entered their shop.
"Fred! George!" Ginny said, laughing, "I see you worked things out with the mafia and are back in business?"
"Yeah," Fred replied, "Apparently they got a call from some mysterious stranger…"
"CoughBlaiseZabiniCough," George added helpfully.
"…And decided to apologize for the 'misunderstanding'," Fred finished.
"I see," Ginny said, grinning from ear to ear, "Well in that case, I have news."
"What sort of news?" George asked suspiciously.
"News of the wedding bell variety," Ginny said cautiously.
"Wedding bell! Gin, you're getting married!" Fred said jumping up.
"Maybe…" Ginny said trying to gauge their reactions.
"Perfect!" George said jumping up and hitting a button.
"We've been waiting for this day for ages…" Fred said as a file folder came down from one of the ceiling tiles.
George started hastily flipping through the files, "Master pranks, world domination, Hogwarts tricks, Slytherin paybacks….Ah, here it is: Weasley weddings."
"Whoa…What's going on? When did you…" Ginny said looking around bewilderedly.
"Shh…" Fred silenced her, skimming through the papers, "Here it is: Ginny's wedding."
"You have my wedding planned out!" Ginny shrieked, confusedly.
"Shh…Let us do the talking now," George said, covering her mouth.
"We got bored one day," Fred explained.
"Oh hah! Here's Ron's wedding…I'd almost forget about that," George added, "Those spiders will be classic."
"But back to you…." Fred interrupted.
"Um," Ginny said wide-eyed, "What exactly do you have planned for my wedding?"
"No worries, little sis," George said, "No pranks…against you at least. A couple of explosions maybe."
"Says here," Fred read, "That you enter down from the ceiling on a cloud of singing maroon doves."
"Amidst a couple of well timed firecrackers," George added.
Ginny watched in horror for the next hour as the celebration went from wedding to Circus De' Pranks.
"And for the grand finale," George finished reading hours later, "You will fall straight through the stage in a waterfall of chocolate pudding while the sprinkle dip starts exploding hair-dyeing streamers all over the audience."
"So, what do you think?" Fred addressed Ginny.
"Um, guys," Ginny said hesitantly, "As delightful as that sounds…."
"You love it?"
"You want elephants too?"
"That can be arranged."
"No!" Ginny burst out, stopping the twins in their tracks, "What I meant to say was that we were thinking more of a conventional wedding…"
"Oh," the twins said in unison, hanging their heads sadly.
"But we do want you to be the grooms!" Ginny said in a desperate attempt to cheer them up.
"Okay," Fred said, the pranking glint coming back to his eyes.
"But no random explosions or mystical animals, promise me," Ginny added.
"Aww, come on, Gin," George pleaded, doing his infamous puppy dog eyes.
Fred followed in with the puppy dog pout and Ginny eventually cracked.
"Okay, one well-tamed explosion, but that's IT," Ginny said, smiling at their antics.
"We won't let you down!" The twins shouted, hurrying back to their plans.
"That's just what I'm worried about," Ginny said laughingly apparating back home.
"How'd that go?" Draco said, greeting her at the port.
"Uhh…I'll fill you in later," Ginny replied, collapsing on the couch.
"Isn't Lovegood supposed to be stopping by later today?" Draco yelled from the kitchen.
"Yeah, why?" Ginny shouted back.
"The apparation port is turning blue, that's why," Draco laughed, heading upstairs.
"Luna!" Ginny shouted running to greet her friend as she dreamily stepped out of the port.
"Hello," Luna said, looking confusedly around.
"Malfoy Manor…" Ginny suggested.
"Right…" Luna said, still gazing around.
"Luna," Ginny said, unable to contain it any longer, "I'm getting married!"
"That's nice," Luna replied, "To whom?"
"Well…to Draco, of course," Ginny said, wrinkling her forehead.
"Twice?" Luna said, "You must really like this Draco."
"No, just once, a wedding actually," Ginny responded, smiling happily, "But….I guess I do…"
"Oh, I love weddings," Luna replied, her eyes glazing over in happiness, "Blibbering humdingers are always more active around weddings, you know."
Ginny just laughed and hugged her best friend, "I was hoping that you would be the maid of honor."
"I'm not very good at dusting," Luna said, her brow furrowing.
"It's not an actual maid, it's more like the brides right-hand girl," Ginny said, "All you have to do is wear a dress, walk down the aisle, stand next to me at the altar, and say some toasts and stuff."
"I love toast," Luna said her eyes resuming their dream-like state, "I'd love to."
"Perfect," Ginny said happily, "Now all we have to do is find you a dress…"
Several hours later Luna was curled up reading a copy of the Quibbler as Ginny kept transfiguring different dresses on her, trying to find a fit.
"There, this is the one," Ginny breathed happily examining her work.
"The one, what?" Luna questioned from somewhere beneath the magazine.
"The dress, silly," Ginny said, grabbing her hand and twirling her around.
Just then the apparation port whirled blue again and a very disgruntled looking Blaise stepped out.
"Ginny! Ginny…I left my…" Blaise stopped short as he caught sight of wide-eyed Luna wearing a long light-blue dress.
"En chante mademoiselle," he said bowing and kissing Luna's hand.
Luna rewarded him with a dreamy smile as Ginny beamed from ear to ear at her work.
A quick flick of her wand and Blaise was wearing a tux with a matching light blue vest and tie. He turned and looked questioningly at Ginny.
"Wedding party dress," she replied, "Luna Lovegood—Blaise Zabini, Blaise Zabini—Luna Lovegood."
"I've seen you in the halls of Hogwarts," Blaise said smiling at Luna.
"Have you?" Luna questioned, "How nice."
"You know," Ginny said slyly, "As the maid of honor and the best man you two are going to have to get to know each other a lot better."
"Why's that?" Blaise asked.
"Well you have to walk down the aisle together, dance together, toast together," Ginny trailed off.
"I don't like dancing much," Luna observed.
"And I don't like toasting much," Blaise said.
"Ooh, I love toast," Luna said smiling up at him.
"And I love dancing," Blaise said with a smirk.
"Well then, yall will just have to help each other out," Ginny said with a grin.
"Here's your bag, Blaise," Ginny said nudging him with it.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot again," he said sheepishly.
"Why don't you two head back to Hogwarts together," Ginny said shoving them towards the port, "We can talk later."
"Okay," Luna said dreamily.
Blaise slipped his arm through hers and escorted her out.
The last thing Ginny heard before they apparated was Blaise asking, "So, how do you feel about pirates?"
Ahh I love Blaise and Luna. hugs them to within an inch of their lives
