Chapter 9 You'll Be the Death of Me

At first I thought the room was spinning and then I figured out that no, no, I was. Fred had me in his arms, my legs wrapped tightly around his waist as he spun me around the room dancing.

"I got to say Mione; you've got killer legs and a fit tush." George laughed entering the room.

Fred dropped me and I landed soundly on the couch trying to cover myself, again remembering I had very little in the way of clothes on.

"OW!" he screamed as Angelina smacked him over the back of the head.

"George Fabian Weasley, I am standing right here!" she looked furious.

"Sorry love, just trying to defuse the tension!"

"You heard your woman Georgie, stop make eyes at my new fiancée!" Fred mused, grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Bollocks! You asked her!"

"Thanks right Georgie, I put a ring on it." The twins embraced as Angelina rushed to my side.

"Show me the ring, show me the ring." She seized my left hand and for the first time I got a good look at the ring myself.

It was a breathtaking. Simple and elegant. Four clear diamonds sat close together to form a larger square, emulating a solitaire princess cut, set on a white gold band. It wasn't flashy but it wasn't plain. It felt perfect.

"Oh Hermione, it's beautiful, and it suits you perfectly."

"It really does, doesn't it?" I was beaming, Fred had obviously known me more about me then I gave him credit for, because this ring was exactly what I would have chosen for myself.

We sat around for a few hours talking, tomorrow was Sunday so that meant dinner at the burrow. Ginny said she had some important events to discus with us, but knowing her that could mean anything. George and Angelina retired and said they would see us tomorrow. It was now just Fred and I sitting alone on the couch.

"So you like it?"

"I love it Freddie! It is amazing, just like you." I blushed deeply

"Amazing enough to risk the wrath of mum and stay the night?" he winked at me devilishly

"Tempting, but I really should head back, I wouldn't put it must your mum to send Ginny after me." He led me to the bedroom where I quickly changed. "Tomorrow?"

He kissed me passionately "Tomorrow, and every other day of our lives"

And with that I stepped into the fireplace.

I woke early the next morning; again the nightmares seemed to stay away. I didn't know if this was because I was so content with Fred or not, but I was more than willing to let it continue. The scar on my arm was slowly fading, it looked less nasty however Madam Pomfrey had informed me that it was her professional opinion that it wouldn't completely disappear. I sat up looking at my ring, I had never been so happy. I let out a sigh and it appeared to rouse Ginny from her slumber.

"Morning Ginny" I waved at her with my left hand, hoping she was awake enough to register the ring on my finger.

A scream so high pitched I feared my ear drums might burst escaped her lips. Yep it had registered alright. Before I knew it everyone was upon us. Crowded in the tiny bedroom looking at Ginny.

"What the bloody hell Ginny!"

"Gin, baby, are you okay?"

"Ginerva Weasley what is this god awful racket about?"

"You have interrupted my reports!"

Mr Weasley was the only one who remained silent, waiting calmly for his daughter to explain. However all Ginny could seem to do was point at me.

Everyone turned to stare at me. I let out a heavy sigh and lifted my hand. That is the last time I trust her with such sensitive information.

"WHAT!?" the room was in uproar. Everyone was looking around, as if they were unable to comprehend why I had a ring on my finger.

Ron was the first to speak "You mean that slick git actually tricked you into accepting a ring!"

I opened my mouth to yell at him but Percy beat me to it. "Ronald, get your head out of your arse."

The room gasped as Percy swore. Percy never swore.

"You are nothing but a jealous weasel, can't you see how happy Fred makes her." Percy crossed the room and engulfed me in a hug.

"Thank you Percy." I hugged him back.

"What's everyone doing in here? Why is Perce hugging Mione?" the voice belonged to my not so secretly favourite Weasley, aside from Fred, Charlie.

I lifted my hand to show him the ring. Words simply cannot describe the smile on his face as he pushed his way through to Percy and I, picking us both up and squeezing us.

"Charlie…Can't… Breathe…"

"Whoops, sorry Perce, congrats Mione!" he leant down to kiss my cheek. "Why are the rest of you just standing there, why aren't you swamping her?" he looked around confused at his family members and Harry.

This seemed to break everyone out of their daze. Ron stormed out and the rest came towards me. Each telling me congratulations and asking to see the ring closer.

"Okay, okay, everyone out, let her breathe" Charlie shot me another wink and shooed everyone out the door. I mouthed thank you and turned to face Ginny.

"Way to be discrete Ginny!"

"I'm so sorry Mione, I don't know what came over me!" we burst out laughing.

The day dragged on but soon dinner was upon us. As usual Harry was preoccupied with Teddy and Andromeda was entertained by Molly, who was asking every question under the son about how Teddy was doing. Ginny pulled all of us girls into the sitting room, stating 'Girl Business' to the men.

Once we were all seated and everyone had thoroughly questioned me as to how Fred proposed, making sure to leave out me not having pants on, Ginny began.

"Right. Now, as you all know I am getting married in just under 4 weeks. And in between then, I am coming of age. Sooooo I would like to have a Hen Party."

Everyone looked around at one another confused, aside from Angelina and I who just smiled and giggled.

"What is a Hen party?" Lavender asked somewhat annoyed.

"Well Lav Lav, it is a muggle term. Basically the pride goes out with her friends and has fun as kind of last hurrah of freedom before being married." I couldn't help but laugh at Ginny calling her Lav Lav.

"Oh."

"Now my suggestion and hear me out. Is we do a combined one. We are all getting married between a few weeks of each other so why not just have one major night out for all of us"

I nodded in agreement because I knew I had no choice. Fleur and Angelina seemed excited about it as well. However Lavender and Audrey did not.

"I will happily attend, but, there is no to include me in the "bride" bits, Percy and I are having a ceremony at the Ministry so I don't see the need for a big shindig."

"That's fine Audrey, as long as you come with us" I smiled at the young woman, her and Percy were so similar it was mind boggling.

"Lavender what about you?" Angelina asked innocently

"No. I don't want any part in it. I will have something with my bridesmaids. Please feel free to not invite me to yours." And with that she left the room to find Ron.

"Zank 'evan, I can't stand zat girl" Fleur let out.

We were in a fit of giggles then.

"So when should we do this?"

"How about the week before your wedding Ginny?"

"No Ang that could go badly, what if I do something stupid, we won't have time for damage control" I couldn't help but laugh, of course she would worry about that.

"Okay zen, two weeks before? Zat should give us enough time no?"

"Perfect Fleur. Okay so the 8th of August? Muggle London?"

"I'll get us all muggle id's"

"Thank you Angie. It's a date."

What we hadn't expected was for Lavender to run off to Ron and tell him what we were planning. After a fight between the sexes it was decided that the girls would be allowed their Hens night if the boys could have Stag nights. Harry decided to have his the same night as us and Fred and George decided to have a joint one the week after Ginny's wedding. This would either be amazing or blow up in all our faces. I just hoped it was the former and not the latter,
