Thank you all for the review, alerts, and favorites. I know I say it every chapter but every single one of them make my day. Also I got some reviews asking what's wrong with Hermione. Don't worry your pretty little heads, what's wrong with Hermione will be revealed soon enough.
Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling owns everything and I own nothing. I also don't own "Yesterday" the Beatles do. I'm just a fan. (I recommended you play the song when it shows up. But you don't have to.)
The music started and everyone stood up onto their feet. Their attention turned to the end of the aisle as Angelina and Fred made their way down. George and Luna followed soon after. Hermione hugged Ginny one more time. "I'm so happy for you." she whispered into her ear. Ginny looked at her best friend one more before she disappeared with her brother.
Ginny's nerves were starting to get the best of her. She kept pacing back and forth before Arthur took her hand. "You ready Gin?" he asked looking at his daughter. Arthur didn't see his baby girl anymore, in her place was a grown up beautiful woman ready to make a life for herself. It brought tears to his eyes. "Don't cry dad. Your going to make me cry." Ginny said as she gave her father a hug. Arthur wrapped his arm around Ginny and they made their way down the aisle.
Harry watched as Ginny made her way to stand next to him. He smiled at her and took in every detail of her appearance. Her ginger hair was curled in big spirals that jumped with every step. He thanked Merlin everyday for Ginny and their life to come. Ginny finally arrived by his side and Harry knew this is where he wanted her for the rest of his life.
Kingsley led the ceremony, saying the ancient words and he waved his wand making a silver light wrap around Harry and Ginny. They said their last 'I do' and the ring change from silver to gold then disappeared. Harry and Ginny were finally husband and wife.
Everyone cheered and followed the happy couple to the tent were the party was being held.
People were dancing and laughing as Lee Jordan played the newest Weird Sisters song. Hermione stayed at her table and watched the other guests dance. She didn't want to dance and she wasn't really up to dance tonight. The events earlier with George kept Hermione replaying in her mind and it was putting Hermione over the edge.
Hermione was asked to dance a couple of times that night and when she finished dancing with Neville, her feet hurt. The party was starting to wind down. Hermione got up and went to go look for Harry and Ginny. She found them near the cake table. "I'm so happy for you guys." she said as she hugged the bride and groom. Ginny then left to dance with Fred. "Thanks Hermione." Harry said as he gave Hermione's hand a light squeeze.
He felt something on Hermione's finger. "Um Hermione, what is that?" She gave him a confused expression before realizing what he was referring to. "Oh, this it's my engagement ring," she waved her wand and it appeared on her finger, " I just put a charm on it so it would be invisible." Ginny had come back from her dance with Fred and was now smiling.
"So, George finally gave you the ring huh?" she said in a casual voice but could help but show the big smirk on her face. "You knew?" both Harry and Hermione asked. "Yeah, who do you think helped picked it out?" Hermione gave Ginny a big hug. "Thanks Gin, I love it!" she said laughing along with Ginny. Harry whisked Ginny away wanting one more dance before they had to leave.
Thinking about the conversation she had earlier, Hermione realized she hadn't seen George through whole party. She felt her heart drop a little at the thought.
The song ended and everyone went up to wave goodbye to the happy couple. All the girls went to the front as Ginny threw the bouquet up into the air. Hermione crossed her arms and stayed in the back, making sure not to get in anyone's way. She looked up to see the bouquet heading her way and it landed right in her arms. Hermione laughed at how ironic this was.
The party went on until late into the night but Hermione left early back to the Burrow. She started to walk, heels in hand, when she spotted someone sitting under the willow tree. Hermione walked forward to see George sitting there looking up.
George walked down to the willow tree just after Harry and Ginny left to their honeymoon. As much as George loved to party, the music was giving him a headache. He liked quiet places sometimes. It helped cleared his head whenever he was having a problem or an invention was giving Fred and him trouble. George laid down and looked up to see the stars. He looked up to see three stars in a line. He remembered Hermione telling him that it was called Orion's belt.
George smiled at the memory of the date they had. "George is that you?" his heart stopped as he heard the voice of the exact person he was just thinking about. "Hey Mya!" he said and patted the spot next to him.
They stayed quiet and unlike the other times it was a comfortable quiet. Hermione broke the silence first. "So, I didn't see you at the party. Where have you been?" George shrugged. "No where really. Just been wondering around.
George turned to look at Hermione and notice she was holding something. "What are those?" His handing was pointing to the bundle in her hand. "These? It's Gin's bouquet. Surprisingly, I caught it." George turned his head back to the stars to keep the smile that was tugging on his lips hidden. "Well, it's a little ironic. Harry, Ginny, and I were talking about the ring you gave me right before the throwing."
The silence swept over them again but it was
Still comfortable. George started to hum a muggle song he heard on one of the radios in his father's shed. Hermione listened and recognized it instantly. "You listen to the Beatles?"
"Is that what they're called? I don't know, I just heard this on the radio once when I helped my dad in the shed. What's it called?"
"It's called Yesterday. It's one of my favorites. My parents and I used to play it at home all the time" Hermione said, her voice started to sound far away. She closed her eyes and started to hum the song.
George looked at Hermione. She had a smile on her face and looked so peaceful. It made him smile. He got up and gave his hand to Hermione. "What are you doing?" He gave her a smile, not one of his usual prankster smiles with a hidden smirk but a real smile that he hasn't shown since the war. George flicked his wand and music started to play. "I do believe I owe you a dance."
He gave her his hand and pulled Hermione up to her feet. George placed his arms around her hips bring her closer while Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck. They swayed to the music playing.
Yesterday,
All My Troubles Seemed So Far Away,
Now It Look As Though They're Here To Stay,
Oh, I Believe In Yesterday
"George, thank you." Hermione whispered as she settled her head on the crook of his neck.
Suddenly,
I'm Not Half The Man I Used To Be,
There's A Shadow Hanging Over Me,
Oh, Yesterday Came Suddenly
Why She Had To Go I Don't Know,
She Wouldn't Say.
I Said,
Something Wrong,
Now I Long For Yesterday.
Yesterday,
Love Was Such An Easy Game To Play,
Now I Need Place To Hide Away,
Oh, I Believe In Yesterday
Why She
Had To Go I Don't Know,
She Wouldn't Say.
I Said,
Something Wrong,
Now I Long For Yesterday.
Yesterday,
Love Was Such An Easy Game To Play,
Now I Need Place To Hide Away,
Oh, I Believe In Yesterday
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Hermione lifted her head up from George's shoulder. "Thanks George, I needed that." She looked up at him. Hermione saw his bright eyes and knew that she liked George. Hermione Granger likes George Weasley, something she thought would never happened. She thought back to the almost kiss that happened early that day.
Hermione couldn't believe what she was about to do. Hermione cupped George's cheek and brought his lips down to hers.
George's eyes widen from her action but soon closed his eyes and brought his arms around her waist, bringing her closer. Hermione looped her arms around his neck. The kiss was soft but held a whole lot of emotion. Hermione didn't know how long they'd been kissing but she needed air. She broke away first and look to see George with his eyes still close. It brought her to a fit of silent giggles.
Footsteps and laughter could be heard coming their way. "I think we should go." George said and took Hermione's hand. They headed for the Burrow and went inside. Everything was quiet. George turned to Hermione. "Well I have to go. Bye Mya." This time it was George who kissed Hermione but it was a quick kiss. He gave a hug and apparated back to his house.
Hermione smiled as she made her way up the stairs. She looked back to the door and smiled, "Bye George," and went the rest of the way to the stairs.
I think this turned out great since I've had writer's block since I posted the last chapter. I'm a big fan of the Beatles so I just had to put one of their songs in here somewhere. I don't know if Yesterday really fits as a slow dance song but in my mind it does. THE FIRST KISS! I didn't think they were going to kiss for a while but I just had to, I couldn't help it. So you know what to do from here, hope y'all liked and I leave you for now. I promise to make the update quicker this time cause I got half of the next chapter already planned out. Now I know this is a long Author's note so bye!
