Chapter 2:

Why is it that everything that I keep trying to forget keeps coming back to slap me in the face? This was big news, Ginny who was my best friend was not only with some one other than Harry, but a former Slytherin and Death Eater! I decided to call her soon after I received the owl with the pretty lace invitation. I needed to hear from my friend that she was under some sort of spell, because at this point that was the only thing that I could believe.

Ring… Ring…Ring…

" Hello"

" Hey, Ginny how are things with you?" I cleared my throat. " I just received your invitation.." I tried not to sound worried or inquisitive.

" Oh Hermione! I am so glad that you called" Well at least she was in a good mood. It was a big change from the phone calls that I would get with her in tears from what happened with Harry. " I would have called, but I have been so busy."

" Yes, I am sure… your engaged? To .. To.. Zambini?" I hoped that didn't sound rude, but it seemed so out of character for her. To my surprise she just laughed.

" Yes, I am engaged to Blaise. It happened so fast, but it felt so right you know?" I started to wonder about that under a spell I deal that I had.

" Fast? As in your not quite yourself and you don't know what has come over you?" She giggled again. Was I not getting the joke?

" No, Hermione the only thing that came over both of us was love. Its hard to explain over the phone, but he's changed Hermione, and so have I . I am not the same person." She paused. " I mean I know I was with Harry for so long, but he treats me right." Was this a rebound for her? Maybe I should give her the benefit of the doubt?

" Well… It's just.."

" NO Hermione, I want you to re- meet him, under different pretenses." How could I argue I could hear how happy she sounded, and it was nice. I will give Him another chance, and re-meet the sadistic playboy Slytherin. Aside from Draco Malfoy he is the lesser of two evils.

" Alright Gin, I'd love to re-meet him for you." I could hear her smile through the phone. " So when is your wedding, your invitation never said?" I reached down and picked up the fancy piece of paper, and started to twirl it around in between my fingers.

" Oh, right! That is the other part of news I wanted to tell you. It is in one week from today!" I felt my heart stop. I did the math in my head and that would make it Friday June 6th. It was so close to the date that Ron as I were supposed to be married. I am sure Ginny didn't mean to do that of course but It was so soon.

" That's… Soon!" I blurted out with out even thinking about my words.

" I know, but it's the only date that was available at least before 3 years, at this beautiful Vineyard."

" Wait, Your not getting married at the Burrow?" I had just assumed because Charlie and Fleur had gotten married, and it was a tradition of the Weasley's.

" No, The Vineyard that were getting married at is where Blaise and I had our first date, and its where he proposed to me." It did sound romantic. " I mean it was his idea to have it there, and since he was paying for it and all I thought it was nice." I only heard a little disappointment in her voice about not having it at her family home, but there was something else there as well, I guess you might say it was love. " And Hermione I was hoping that you could make it down here to help me with the planning ,and accept my offer as being my Maid of Honor?"

" I'd have to check with Head Mistress McGonagall, to see if I can get two weeks off of work, but I would love to"

" Oh Thank you you're the best! I will owl you the directions."

" Ok, Gin see you soon."

I still couldn't believe I was going to attend the wedding of my best friend. It felt weird. I just hoped things wouldn't be hard. I knew I would see him there these two weeks. I took a deep breath, and started to pack my bags. I walked into my closet, and put on a purple colored tee shirt, and a pair of khaki corduroys, I slipped on a pair of sandalwood wedges, and through my hair up in a pony tail. I grabbed my luggage, and made my way for the airport.

I would have just apparated there, but I couldn't risk muggles seeing me. So I did the next quickest thing I could think of. I tried to forget how much I hated flying, but I needed to do this for Ginny. I kept reminding myself of this as I boarded the plane.

" Excuse me miss would you like something from the drink cart?" A very perky blonde, stewardess with a perfect figure and huge smile came up to me. I slowly faced her.

" I am going to my best friends wedding, the same week that I was supposed to marry my ex. Who coincidentally is the brother of my best friend who is getting married." She gave me a sympathetic look. " So unless you have something really strong in there to calm my nerves." I forced a smile and a fake laugh. I could tell she looked frightened as she reached into her cart and pulled out a tiny bottle of strong shinny liquid, that got me through the whole plane ride.

About an hour later the plane had landed, and I just sat there and watched as people left the plane. I was trying to mentally prepare myself for what was to come these couple weeks.

The same stewardess from before came over to me.

" I am sorry miss , but we are trying to unload the plane" My arms were gripped tightly to the arm rests and I was staring straight ahead. " Do you need assistance?" She kept staring at me hoping that I would get up and leave. " Miss…" I ignored her getting up and slowly making my way to the exit.

I started to look around for Ginny, and there she was coming right toward me wearing a bright yellow sundress with white polka dots, and a yellow head band. She ran up to me and gave me a big hug, and I hugged her back. I really was glad to see her, It was good to see my best friend again.

" Hermione, how was the flight?" I smiled

" Great!" She looked at me curiously. I knew that Ginny knew that I hated flying of any kind. She leaned in a smelled my breathe.

" OH God ,Have you been drinking?" She looked disgusted, and grabbed my arm dragging me into the nearest bathroom.

" Ouch Gin, your pulling my arm off." I ended up giggling as I said that, not at all helping my case. She just ignored me. We rounded the corner into an empty bathroom, and locked the door. She held me still and pulled out her wand ,and waved it in front of me. A big light came in front of me.

I held my head

" You used a sobriety spell on me?" She put her wand away and smiled.

" Don't worry I have used this spell a million times on my brothers." She looked at me seriously, which made me nervous. " Now are you going to tell me why you were drunk?" I nodded.

" I am sorry, you know how much I hate flying, but I wanted to be all perfect for you, and …" I didn't need to say any more, Ginny knew how much I was hurting inside from her idiot brother, but didn't say anything, just pulled me into a hug.

" I know… " was all she said. We soon left the bathroom and left to Blaise's private property on the Vineyard.
