Ginny and Harry had been living together in Grimmauld Place for a month now. Ginny woke up one morning, thinking about how happy she was. She went down to the kitchen to get herself some breakfast and Harry was sitting at the table drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

"Morning," Ginny said, kissing him before getting herself some toast.

"Morning," Harry said, turning back to The Daily Prophet. "Do you want to go out somewhere today?"

"Oh, no sorry I can't," Ginny replied, pulling her wand out of her pocket. "Accio sugar bowl!" The sugar bowl came zooming out of one of the cupboard and directly into Ginny's hand.

"Why? What are you doing?"

"Well," Ginny said, heating up her own coffee with her wand. "I'm going out with Hermione and Luna. We're going to go shopping to get dresses for Neville and Hannah's wedding. And then, we're going to find Luna a wedding dress."

"But that's going to take about an hour, right?" Ginny dropped the sugar bowl.

"An hour? Harry, do you know girls but at all?" Harry laughed.

"OK, so how long?"

"I dunno," Ginny said, picking up the sugar bowl again. "Probably all day."

"OK. Maybe I'll just go and see Ron or something."

"Don't you have to training?"

"No, I have today and tomorrow off. Oh, and of course I had to take Saturday off to go to the wedding."

"OK. Oh, is that Toffee?" Ginny asked, peering out of the window. Toffee was Seamus and Lavender's tawny owl.

"Oh yeah, it is," Harry said, opening the window. "Who's idea do you think it was to call her Toffee?"

"Harry, it is Lavender and Seamus's owl. Lavender and Seamus's. Now, think about it. Do you really think that Seamus would call an owl Toffee?" Harry laughed.

"Yeah, I suppose so." The tawny hopped in to the kitchen and Harry took the letter attached to it's leg. Toffee didn't move, which meant that it was waiting for a response.

"What does it say?" Ginny asked.

"It's just Seamus and Lavender inviting me to lunch."

"Are you going to go?"

"Yeah, why not. I've got nothing else to do. I guess I could go to see Ron in the morning and then meet Seamus and Lavender."

"What time do they want to meet you?"

"One o' clock. Where are the quills again?"

"Bottom drawer," Ginny replied, pointing her wand at the drawer, which shot open.

"Thanks." Harry scribbled down a confirmation and tied the response to Toffee's leg. She hopped back out of the window and took of into the sky.

"So," Ginny said, finishing off her toast. "Where are you guys going for lunch?"

"I dunno. Some restaurant down the road from they're house."

"Oh OK. Well, I'm going to go and have a shower and then I'm going to go and meet Hermione."

"OK bye."

Crack. Three hours later, Harry Apparated into Seamus and Lavender's studio flat. They were both lying on the sofa talking when Harry came in.

"Hi Harry!" Lavender exclaimed, jumping off the sofa.

"Hi," Harry said, replied. "How are you two? I haven't seen you since Ginny's seventeenth birthday."

"I know," Lavender said, apologetically. "I'm sorry. It's just that...we've been busy."

"How are you, Harry?" Seamus asked.

"I'm fine," Harry sighed, sitting down in a nearby armchair.

"So you haven't died again since the last time we saw you?" Seamus asked, cheekily.

"Haha! Very funny, Seamus! So what have you two been up two?"

"Well, actually," Lavender said, slowly. "We have some news."

"Lavender," Seamus said, in a firm voice.

"Seamus, it's OK! We can tell Harry!"

"OK, fine," Seamus sighed.

"Yay! OK, Harry. She held up her left hand, on which there was a glowing ring on her finger.

"Oh no," Harry said, wearily. "You guys aren't engaged too, are you?"

"No," Seamus said, slowly. "Actually, we're..."

"Married!" Lavender burst out.

"What?" Harry spluttered. "You're married."

"Yeah," Seamus answered, for about six months now!"

"So, why wasn't I invited to the wedding?"

"Sorry Harry!" Lavender said again. "It was a really small wedding. We didn't invite anyone! You're the first person we told, apart from our parents."

"But, why didn't you tell anyone?"

"I dunno," Seamus said. "We just didn't want people we were going to fast. And then when we were just about to tell everyone, we heard about Dean and Luna's engagement. And then Neville and Hannah's. So, we didn't really want to steal their limelight."

"Fair enough," Harry replied. "So, when are you going to tell people?"

"At least after Dean and Luna's engagement party," Lavender said, fiddling with her wedding ring. "But, Harry, we've got some more news too."

"Even bigger than getting married?" Harry asked.

"Yep!" Lavender exclaimed. She looked so happy. She was practically glowing. "I'm pregnant!" Harry's jaw fell open.

"How long for?" he asked, incredulously.

"For about three months!"

"That's great! Congratulations!"

"Thanks," Seamus smiled."So do you want to go to lunch now?"

"What? Oh, yeah sure!"

"Luna! You cannot wear that for your wedding!"

Ginny, Hermione and Luna were at a bridal shop in Bond Street, and Luna had picked out the most ludicrous dress known to mankind. She had picked out many dresses, but this one, in Ginny's opinion was the final straw.

"Why not?" Luna asked, innocently.

"Because it's bright orange with radishes all over it!" Hermione said, exasperatingly.

"Can't you just pick out a normal white wedding dress?" Ginny asked, wearily. "You know, like the one Fleur wore at her wedding!"

"But that's so boring!" Luna looked crestfallen. "Everyone wears a white wedding dress! This is going to look so original!"

"Yes, in a scary way!" Hermione said, still staring warily at the horrific monstrosity of a dress.

"Seriously, Luna! We are just saying it because we love you. That dress is absolutely hideous!"

"Really?" Luna asked, looking deep in thought all of a sudden. "So do you think I should go for pineapples instead of radishes?"

"NO!"

"OK, then. What about aubergines?"

"NO!"

"Why not? It will match my earrings!"

"OK Luna," Ginny said, slowly. "We will help you pick out a lovely white, normal wedding dress! Who recommended this shop to you anyway?"

"My father said that this is where my mother got her wedding dress."

"Why am I not surprised?" Hermione muttered in an undertone. They both got a very reluctant Luna out of the radish-dress and then Ginny asked them both to hold her hands and she Disapparated onto an alley near Portobello Road. Then she led the way into an entrance with looked like a whole road of abandoned buildings.

"Errm, Ginny" Hermione said, uncertainly. "You do know that there is no wizard area in Notting Hill.

"Really?" Ginny said, drawing near an old abandoned mansion. "Are you sure about that?" There were signs in the windows and the front door saying things like "DO NOT ENTER!" and "CAUTION! UNSAFE!"

"Ginny, you can read, can't you?" Hermione asked, watching Ginny climb over the fence. Then, she stopped outside the chained, rusty old door.

"Guys, hurry up!" she called, beckoning Hermione and Luna over to the door. Luna ran towards Ginny and Hermione followed very reluctantly.

"Ginny," Hermione said, looking worried. "What are we doing here? This is just an old abandoned house! With a locked door by the way!"

"Hermione" Ginny said, calmly. "Just, shut up, watch and learn." Then, Ginny took out her wand and put the tip of it to the padlock that was threaded on the chain. After a few seconds, the padlock gradually started to turn gold.

"Quick!" Ginny said, suddenly. "Luna, grab Hermione's hand! Hermione, grab my hand." Hermione and Luna did as they were told and within a few seconds, they started to feel very strange. They started to get smaller. Or had the padlock started to get bigger? But, either way, the felt themselves slowly move inside the padlock, as if an invisible treadmill had suddenly appeared under their feet. Then, they heard a click and they were swallowed up by complete darkness.

"Wow!" Luna breathed. "Wait till I tell father that we were swallowed by a padlock!"

"Ginny?" Hermione asked, her voice breaking. "Where exactly are we?"

"Just walk," came Ginny's voice, sounding frighteningly far away.

"Where are you?" Hermione asked, hysterically. She was panicking more and more by the minute.

"I'm only a few steps ahead of you," Ginny answered. "Just keep walking forward!" Hermione and Luna did so, and eventually they caught up with Ginny. They kept walking in this bizarre darkness for a few minutes. Then, they smelt something very sharp and sweet. It got stronger and stronger as they walked on. Then, Ginny suddenly stopped. She turned what appeared to be a door handle. Then suddenly, they were engulfed by bright lights. They all squinted immediately, having spent a while in total darkness. Finally, they opened their eyes properly. The three girls saw a huge room filled with massive bouquets of flowers. As they entered it, they saw a skinny wizard walking around with his wand pointed at his neck, obviously barking orders to some poor employee.

"Ginny," Hermione started, slowly. "What the hell are we doing in a flower shop?"

"This is the entrance to a wizard shopping centre," Ginny answered, patiently. "It's called The Honeymead Shopping Centre."

"How come I've never heard of it?" Hermione asked.

"I dunno. Not many people know about it. I heard it from Lavender and Parvati."

"Why don't many people know about it?" Luna asked, curiously.

"I don't really know why. But, it's really new, so that's probably why. Anyway, enough questions! Let's find Luna a dress! Do you want a dress for your engagement party as well?"

"Oh no!" Luna said, quickly."I already have one picked out at home."

"Oh dear," Hermione muttered.

A few hours later, Luna, Hermione and Ginny Apparated into The Burrow. They found Harry in the kitchen.

"Where's Ron?" Hermione asked, peering around the room for a second companion.

"Bathroom," Harry said, before Ginny walked over and kissed him. "How was shopping?"

"It was really good!" Ginny said, excitedly. "Me and Hermione got a dress for Neville and Hannah's wedding and a dress for Dean and Luna's engagement party. And we got Luna a wedding dress."

"Really? How much was it?"

"25 Galleons," Hermione answered, getting herself a Butterbeer. "It's freezing outside!"

"Oh, how was lunch with Seamus and Lavender?" Ginny asked.

"It was good," Harry said. "Guess what?"

"What?" Ginny asked.

"Lavender and Seamus are married!" Hermione had been taking a large sip of Butterbeer at that moment and she almost spat it all out.

"What do you mean married?" Ginny asked, incredulously.

"They've been married for a month now! They got married in secret! And also, Lavender's pregnant!"

"Pregnant!" Hermione spluttered.

"What did I miss?" Ron had just ran into the kitchen. Hermione turned around to face him.

"Lavender and Seamus are married and now Lavender's pregnant!" she shouted. Ron looked dumbfounded.

"How long was I in the bathroom?" he asked, shocked.

"They got married a month ago in secret," Ginny said. "And Lavender's pregnant now."

"Wow," Ron breathed. "Why did they get married in secret?"

"Because they didn't want to steal the limelight from Dean and Luna or Neville and Hannah."

"Oh, I wouldn't have minded," Luna suddenly said. "I'm thinking about making Ernie Macmillan one of my bridesmaids." Ginny was the first to burst out laughing.

"So are you going to put it in a pretty little dress too?" Ron asked, now chortling as well.

"Oh no," Luna replied, looking mildly surprised. "It's traditional for male bridesmaids to be dressed in bright yellow robes with a white cane with a sunflower on top. They're supposed to represent the sun shining on the bride. Do you think Ernie will agree?"

"I really hope he doesn't!" Harry laughed. "Luna, why don't you someone, you know, female?"

Luna sighed. "First a traditional white wedding gown, and now female bridesmaids! It's almost as if this will be an ordinary wedding!"

"Oh, imagine that!" Ginny said. "Come on, let Ernie be a bridesmaid! Why not?"

"Because," Harry said, still laughing. "People are supposed to be focusing on the bride at weddings!"

"But," Luna said, looking a bit disappointed. "If I don't have Ernie as my bridesmaid, I won't have any male bridesmaids!"

"Good!" Ron burst out. "Let's keep it that way!"

"Hermione, would you like to be my third bridesmaid?"

"Oh!" Hermione exclaimed. "I'd love to! Thanks Luna!"

"So, who are your other bridesmaids?" Harry asked.

"Parvati and Cho." Ginny scoffed. She's never liked Cho.

"Cho?" Hermione asked in surprise. "Why? Have you even spoken to her before?"

"Oh no. But her eyes match the dress that the bridesmaids will be wearing."

"What a good reason to pick someone as your bridesmaid!" Hermione laughed.

"Did she agree?" Ron asked.

"Well, when I asked her, she asked me if Harry was coming to the wedding. And when I said yes, she agreed." There was a deafening silence as Ginny, who had been holding Harry's hand, started clenching her fist very tightly, momentarily forgetting that there was another hand in it.

"Ow!" Harry said, snatching his hand away.

"Oh!" Ginny said, looking at Harry apologetically. "Sorry Harry!"

"Errm, Luna," Harry said, slowly, looking slightly frightened at the look on Ginny's face. "I think you'd better pick someone else for your bridesmaid."

"Oh, I can't do that!" replied Luna. "I'll never find anyone else who's eyes match that dress! But, I did suspect that Ginny would act this way. So, I seated her as far away from you and Harry as possible."

"Good," Ginny said, curtly. "Thanks Luna."

"It's alright. Now what do you all think for decorations: chains of onions or, my personal favourite, radishes!" While everyone figured out a way to say "definitely neither", Ron got a bottle of Firewhiskey out, along with five glasses.

"Luna," Ginny said, finally. "I have this amazing wedding planner you would really like!"

"Who?" Luna asked.

"Me!" Ginny said. "Trust me! I'll help you with your wedding!"

"OK, then," Luna agreed.

"Here's to Luna and Dean!" Ron said, finishing pouring the Firewhiskey and lifting his own glass. The others raised their glasses too. "Cheers!" They all clinked glasses.

"OK," Ginny said, briskly, putting her glass of Firewhiskey down for a moment. "Luna, my first suggestion as wedding planner/maid of honour: I think that we should replace Cho with Ernie as a bridesmaid! "Luna looked very tempted.

"But his eyes don't match the dress!" she said. While Ginny and Luna debated about the bridesmaid issue, Ron, Hermione and Harry gulped down the rest of their Firewhiskey and discussed whether it was going to be Cho or Ernie as a bridesmaid. It was Ginny's temper vs. all the wedding guests' amusement. Either way, they were sure it was going to be an extraordinary wedding.
