It's Tradition

"Oh god!" Hermione moaned, "What am I doing?"
Ginny stepped into her path, and stopped her from pacing a hole through the floor. Hermione turned and started pacing the other way, only to be stopped by Fleur. Ginny went and stood next to Fleur, "Hermione you need to calm down and relax," she said quietly, "It's going to be fine."
"I am calm, I'm relaxed," she said quickly," I just don't want to make a huge mistake. Am I making a huge mistake?" She whispered.
"Not at all," Ginny said adamantly, "That man loves you so much, everyone here is so happy for the both of you…"
"Everyone?" Hermione asked with a small smile.
"Well not everyone," Ginny laughed. "The boys look like they want to throttle him and run away with you, but other than that everyone else is really happy for you." Moving closer to her, "But the most important thing is that he loves you, and you love him."
Hermione nodded," I do love him," giggling, "I do I do I do I do…"
"Love now is not the time for ABBA, no matter how much you both love it," Ginny said, "I still can't believe you wanted to walk down the aisle to it…" shaking her head.
"That was his idea, not mine," Hermione insisted, "Why he loves them so much I'll never understand, I think it's the hair," she mused.
"Well regardless, I am happy you talked him out of it, walking down ze aisle to zat music iz not right," Fleur said, "It iz not traditional."
Hermione just smiled at the older witch, seeing out of the corner of her eyes Ginny turning and pulling a face. "I want to thank you again Fleur for letting me wear your shoes, I was in such a panic when I couldn't find any that fit what I wanted. So I will be forever indebted to you."
"It iz not a problem," Fleur said, "It iz tradition to borrow something as well."
"Oh no!" Hermione exclaimed, grabbing Ginny' hand, "I completely forgot all about that! What am I going to do?"
"Relax," Ginny said, "How does it go again…something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. I think that's it."
"Alright, well the dress will be something old, because it's my mothers. Something new…" Hermione thought about it for a moment, she started giggling, "My lingerie underneath, I got some new things especially."
"I'd hope so," Ginny laughed, "Today is not the day, for the old things."
"And you borrowed my shoes, so you are all set," Fleur stated.
"I guess I am…blue…I need something blue," Hermione said.
"Ok, what can we use?" Ginny pondered, "I have no idea."
"Me either," Hermione said, "It doesn't matter does it? It's only a little tradition, superstition if you will. I don't think it's that vitally important."
"Of course it iz important," Fleur said, "You must have something blue, no questions about it..."
Fleur was interrupted mid rant by someone knocking on the door. "Who is it?" Hermione called.
"It's Blaise," a voice came through, "Draco asked me to bring you something."
Ginny moved Hermione into the corner, and she opened the door, so he couldn't see her. "Give it here," she said shortly.
"Manners Ginerva," he said, "Anyone would think you didn't like me."
"Imagine that," Ginny scoffed, shutting the door after he handed it to her.
"That hurts, it really does."
Ginny just laughed as she handed the box to Hermione, "That man is such a drama queen."
"You are a bit mean to him," Hermione said.
"He's weird, most of the time it feels like he's hitting on me or something," Ginny said, "Pees Harry off something chronic, keeps going on about telling him off."
"Not today though," Hermione said, "Any other day Harry can play tough guy."
"Absolutely," Ginny grinned, "Now what did he give you."
Hermione opened the little package, and found a little jewellery box, pulling it open she gasped.
"What iz it?" Fleur asked.
"They're beautiful," Hermione whispered.
"Show us," Ginny demanded. She just handed her the box, "Oh, they are, so pretty," she gushed.
"That man," Fleur said, "He iz almost as good as my Bill."
"It's my birthstone, a sapphire," Hermione explained, "I'm just happy that I didn't pick out any earrings," she said, looking at them, a simple sapphire surrounded by diamonds. "They are perfect."
"That zhey are," Fleur said.
"Something blue," Ginny laughed.
