Chapter 4: The trouble with men!
It was a pretty normal day at the burrow…
There was…
Good food…
Happy stomachs…
And…
Total chaos…
Ginny was getting ready to return for her seventh year at Hogwarts, she was excited but did not want to leave when she was the maid of honor for a certain wedding and really wanted to help plan it.
"Mom! Where is my trunk?"
"In the kitchen Ginny!"
"Fred? George? What are you doing?" asked Harry,
"NOTHING!" said the twins suddenly shoving a piece of paper into George's pocket
"What are you up to…"
"Nothing! Why would we be doing something right er-"
"Big merchandise plan for our shop," finished Fred
"I'm not buying it, I know you too well,"
"We're serious Harry," said George,
"Ok, where's Ginny?"
"Uh, in the kitchen I think," said Fred
"Thanks! I owe you one!"
"Ok…." Said the twins,
Harry ran into the kitchen,
"Ginny!"
"Oh, Hi Harry," Harry sighed in relief and took Ginny's arm,
"Come with me,"
"Uh, ok,"
"I want to ask you something before you leave," They approached the garden,
"Ask away Harry,"
"Well, there seems to be a lot of romance going along these past few weeks and –"
"And," Ginny grinned,
"I've known you for a long time and we've dated and…"
"Go on…"
"We've had a lot of fun and I'm hoping to take it to the next step – uh…. Bottom line, Will you – "
"GINNY! TIME TO LEAVE OR YOU'LL BE LATE!"
"Harry, can this wait? Send me an owl or something, I have to go, bye Harry!" she gave Harry a quick kiss on the lips and ran to Molly and the two of them apparated to Kings Cross.
"Dang it!" Harry scuffed some dirt and grabbed some of his hair, and released it and groaned, he then pulled out his father's mirror,
"Ron Weasley," he said to it, soon Ron's face appeared, (Ron had Sirius's mirror, they decided to use them to keep in touch like Harry's parents did,)
"Harry, what is going on? I'm at Hermione's house and she keeps pestering me on what napkin design we should use! – What's that Hun? Oh, sorry… I was just a little frustrated having two people talk to me that's all… Ok, I won't be long… Uh, give me a minute Hermione – please? It's Harry, thanks. Ok, Harry what's up?"
"I tried proposing to Ginny,"
"And?"
"She had to leave right as I was popping the question,"
"Ouch… Hermione! What are you doing! Give me back the mirror!"
"Hi Harry! What did you do?"
"I tried proposing to Ginny,"
"Oh! Did she say yes?"
"I never got to finish the question…"
"Well, don't worry Harry there's still time,"
"Hermione? May I please have the mirror back now!"
"Fine, spoil sport,"
"Hi, Harry me again, so why don't you send her an owl with a ring box?"
"I might… I don't know, maybe,"
"Well there is still time… Hermione! Uh, listen Harry I got to go, I'll talk to you later!"
"Bye, Ron,"
"Bye!" Harry sighed and put the mirror back in his pocket, he walked back into the burrow, some red headed twins needed to be kept out of trouble – even if it is quite fun to watch them.
"Ron Listen to me, what color napkins should we use, I can't decide between white with lavender trimming, just white or just lavender or lavender with white trimming!"
"Hermione I told you, I don't know!"
"Don't you have a preference?"
"No, I don't,"
"Pick a color!"
"Fine! Uh…. White is boring… I mean every thing else is white so…. Lavender,"
"Are you sure?"
"HERMIONE! They are napkins they are not important, and I mean, the guest are going to get them dirty anyway!"
"Fine, I do like the lavender better… You don't have to be rude about it though!"
"I'm being rude! Well you stole the mirror from me five minutes ago!"
"It was Harry, of course I wanted to talk to him, I did ask!"
"While you were wrenching it from my hand!"
"Well, oh gosh," Hermione started crying,
"Hermione, what's wrong,"
"I just wanted this to be perfect and then we start fighting and – "
"Shh, come here," Hermione sniffed and scooted her chair over to his; he then took her in his arms.
"Hermione, it's ok, it was just one really stupid fight,"
"But I don't want to fight,"
"Oh, come on, admit it everyone fights – even us while we were friends! Heck we had worse fights than this and we were still friends! Just because we're in a more serious relationship does not mean we're not allowed to fight or it won't work out! Do you realize how boring it would be if we did not fight?" Hermione giggled
"Yes, I guess it is good,"
"And funny, now look whose lecturing who!" Ron started tickling Hermione,
"Ha, ha, no, stop it! Ha, ha, that's enough!" Ron stopped, while she still laughed, when she settled down she grabbed a tissue and blew her nose.
"Now," she started, "Where were we?"
"Um napkin colors are lavender,"
"Right," Hermione wrote it down on a form. "Now, what greeting should we use on them?"
"Um, I don't know, it's you napkin,"
"How about… Ron and Hermione Weasley, Married, July 28th 1998 (I think that's right, hey, if they get married then, that means I'm like 6, weird…) 11:00 AM, and then a little picture of a car dragging empty cans and ribbons!"
"Um, what the heck are the cans for?"
"Muggle method, long story people actually literally do that you know,"
"Weird,"
"I'm going to send an owl to Ginny,"
"Isn't that a little early? She's not even at Hogwarts yet! Well, in another hour or so she will be, but, do you really need to talk to her now?"
"Yes, girls like to keep in touch, it's going to be a long year without her,"
"What ever, I'm going to the kitchen and try to make a sandwich,"
"Ok, Hermione dug out some parchment and took a pen, (quills were a burden – plus she doesn't have any ink wells) and started writing.
Dear Ginny,
How's your first day as a 7th year? Truth be told it was my favorite year- even though some weird potion nearly killed me. I really can't believe Voldemort- Quit gasping Ginny- went so low as to spike someone's drink! But hey, I wouldn't be engaged to Ron if it hadn't happened! Hurry up and finish school I have a wedding to plan! Ron is not a big help, it took me forever to get him to help me pick out a napkin color! By the way what do you think about Lavender as the napkin color? The white was too boring, I need a few ideas on designing invitations, do you have any ideas? It should be formal not just a big picture of a cake and say 'You're invited!' on it, I'm really clueless. Another thing that happened, me and Ron got into a fight – don't worry he's not sleeping on the couch, we're fine now, it was a stupid fight really, about the napkins… Yeah, I know, I can't believe I broke down crying, I guess it's wedding stress, well, I got to go Ron is destroying the kitchen as we speak,
Your friend
Hermione Granger- soon – to – be – Weasley!
Hermione sealed the letter and gave it to her owl and it flew away to make it's delivery.
"Ron! What are you doing?"
"You said this was a can opener right?" Hermione nodded, "Well, I couldn't get the jelly open so I tried to use it on the jelly and well, I don't think it's broken, the jelly bottle is though…" Hermione sighed in exasperation,
"Help me clean it up then," The two threw away the broken glass and wiped up jelly, they got tired of it so Hermione just vanished it with her wand. She then made Ron a proper sandwich and poured some water for herself and watched television the rest of the afternoon.
