Mile stone for me since I usually never make it this far when I try to write a story. Thanks for all the reviews readers, you guys are awesome. Since I have gotten more reviews on the previous chapter then any other I decided to give you all a chapter earlier then I usually do. Okay now on to Chapet 10!
Disclaimer: I'm not J.K. Rowling so I don't own Harry Potter and if you thought I did, well you guys have been hanging to much with Fred and George when they're doing experiments. :)
The next couple of weeks were hectic in the Weasley household. Everyone was getting ready for Harry's and Ginny's wedding. Flowers, colors, and fabric was making Hermione crazy but she was the maid of honor so what could she do. All this time preparing didn't give George and Hermione time to talk at all. They only saw eachother a dinner and even then it was still awkward. Hermione couldn't take it anymore. She needed to talk to George and she needed to do it now.
She went to the twin's shop in Diagon Alley. Hermione entered to see George talking to Verity behind the counter, her stomach started to twist with emotion but ignored it. She glided across te shop. "Hey George, can we uh talk." George turned his head to the sound of his name. He was surprised to see Hermione looking at him.
"Sure," George turned to Verity," Sorry Verity but I need to talk to my fiance. We'll finish discussing the plans later." he added the later in a whisper. George went to the door of the backroom. "Fred! I'm going to take my now." he shouted and left before Fred could utter a word.
They went to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, George choosed mint chocolate chip with gummy dragons while Hermione choosed chocolate chip cookie dough with chopped chocolate frogs. Hermione and George sat at a booth in the corner. "Okay Mya, what do you want to talk about?" he asked as he tooka spoonful of icecream. Hermione didn't know how to start but she had to at some point. "George, you know we hadn't talked about anything yet. We really should. Your mother keeps asking and I can see the dissapointment in her eyes when I don't answer." she felt guilt from just talking about it.
George could tell it was really bothering her so he pushed his own feelings aside. He gave Hermione a toothy smile. "Your right Mya, as always. So where should we start?" he questioned taking another spoon of the delicious frozen treat. Hermione took some icecream letting it melt in her mouth while she thought on where to start.
"We should start on the wedding and moving together." she really wasn't comfortable on the subject. George's back straighten as she mentioned moving in. "Well first things first. Do you want a wedding?" he asked keeping his eyes on his treat. Hermione let the question sink in. Did she want a wedding?
Hermione always though she'll get married in a garden to the guy she loved with family and friends. She never pictured it this way. Well, if she was going to get married she'll get the wedding she's always wanted. "I guess, but it doesn't have to be big or anything. You know just family and friends."
George nodded. "Yeah I'll like that. Plus I've got something for you." He fished out a box out of his pocket that he'd been keeping for the past few weeks. "Since we're getting married I thought you should have this." He opened the box to show a sliver band with one princess cut diamond. Hermione couldn't take her eyes off it. "George it's beautiful but you didn't have to get me this. It most have cost a fortune." Her comment didn't phase him. " It was nothing Mya. We're getting married and you deserve and engagment ring. Now let have the honor of putting it on your finger." he said with a wink.
Hermione streched her left hand to George as he slipped on her finger. She looked at it, eyes full of happiness. George saw and gave himself a mental pat on the back. 'Good job George.'
"Now with that done. We should discuss living arrangements. I think you should start living with me. That way we could get use to eachother before the wedding." George said, less nervous then before. Hermione liked the idea. "Yeah, I think it's a brilliant idea." she replied before checking her watch. "Sorry to cut this short George but I've got to go to work." They both got up. "Let me take you." George insisted. Hermione knew she couldn't change his mind. "Okay but I will be apparating." she said. George shrugged. " Fine with me."
They apparated and made it to Frozen Treats before Hermione's shift. "Thanks for everything George." Hermione said. She could feel Maya's eyes on them. "Your welcome Mya. Now i must go or Fred will have my head." In a swift move, Hermione gave Goerge a kiss on the corner of his lips and went inside the icecream shop.
Hermione was greeted by a smiling Maya. "Hello Hermione!" Maya was sounded a little too happy to Hermione's ears. "Maya, is there something you want to tell me?" she questioned glancing at her boss. "No, but is there something you might want to tell me about that bloke who walked you in here or about the rock on your finger?" Maya finished with a smirk.
Hermione's cheeks began to heat up. "Oh that's George. He's my fiancé." Maya squealed and rushed to Hermione's side. She grabbed Hermione's left hand to examine the ring. "He certainly has a nice taste in jewelry. When did he propose?" Hermione was beginning to find her boss's behavior a bit amusing. "This morning." she stated with a bored tone but couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face.
Maya gave Hermione a hug Mrs. Weasley would be proud of. "Oh Hermione, I am so happy for you." Hermione could feel the tears start to well up in her eyes. Maya has become like a second mother to her after her own and Molly. "Thank you." The bell rang intrupting their little moment. " We better get back to work. People are starting come in." said Maya, whp was heading to the front of the shop. Hermione agreed and soon followed. She served the customers. The regulars would congratulate her upon noticing the ring.
Hermione was happy and finally felt like a weight was off her shoulders.
Ginny was pacing around her room full of worry. Hermione was watching her best friend try to make a hole on the floor. "Ginny, stop pasing. Your going to make a bloody hole and fall through if you keep going." she exclaimed from her bed. Ginny eyes went to Hermione's gave her an apologetic smile. "Sorry Hermione but I'm so worried. I'm getting married tomorrow!" the youngest Weasley exclaimed before landing on the bediwth her face in a pillow. Hermione took the role of big sister and started to comb Ginny's hair with her fingers.
"Everything's going to be alright Gin. Your marrying Harry tomorrow and you both deserve to be happy. Now get ready cause I'm taking you out for your bachelorette party." Ginny popped her head up from the pillow to give Hermione a curious look. "What's that?" she questioned. Hermione's eyes light up with mischief. "You'll see."
Hermione and Ginny got ready in their room. Hermione decided to wear a strapless midnight blue dress that went just an inch above her knees. It had a black belt with a heart shaped buckle. Ginny wore a emerald one shoulder dress that landed on her knees. The both put a little bit of make up like eyeliner, eye shadow, and lip stick. Ginny left her hair straight but with side bangs while Hermione used a spell that made her hair soft and it fell into tiny ringlets. They grabbed their heels, black for Hermione and sliver for Ginny, and walked out the door into the den.
"Mum, Hermione and I are leaving." Ginny yelled to her mother in the kitchen. "Alright sweety just be back before one." her mother replied. Ginny turned to Hermione. 'Let's go." she yelled eagely. Hermione shook her head and apparated away.
Wow this one was easy to write. Hope you enjoyed. Can anyone guess where they're going. It's some place that was mentioned in the books. Also, can anyone guess what George and Verity are planning? Now I leave you to figure it out. Have fun!
