The Trouble With Weddings

A Harry Potter Fan Fiction Story

Chapter 9:

According to Ginny's Itinerary I was supposed to be picking out flowers. Ginny handed me a list of flowers that she had picked out previously that I was supposed to find and get.

" They might be hard to find" Ginny said as she handed me the list. There were over 25 different types of plants on this list.

" Don't worry Gin I will find them." Draco stood over my shoulder trying to read the flowers on my list. I hated people reading over my shoulder, no matter who they were.

" Do you mind?" I asked him getting annoyed. Everyone had gone off to do their assigned tasks.

" No not at all" he whispered in my ear." I turned around to face him and started to stomp my foot.

" Don't you have something to do?" He shrugged.

" I don't know the first thing when it comes to ordering food, and desserts." I sighed and bit the bottom of my lip trying to think.

" Ok, fine I'll help you, but you have to come with me to get these flowers first."

" Why does she need so many different flowers?"

" It's her wedding" We had to have gone through at least 5 flower shops. Even though I knew Ginny to be level headed and reasonable I hated to admit that every woman even Ginny gets a little crazy, and wants crazy things for their wedding.

" What ever that means?" We walked side by side to the next shop. I smiled and hugged the flowers that I had already got to my chest.

" It's like every little girls fantasy to plan her wedding. Although" I laughed still telling my story. " When your younger you plan out exactly how you want your wedding and there's nothing wrong with wanting it that way ,but when your older it comes out a little crazy." I had gotten this dreamy look in my eyes. Draco just stared at me with an intent stare.

" So is that what happened to you?" I stopped suddenly and closed my eyes for a moment to forget that he even said that.

" What?" I turned to him hoping that he would take that back.

" You were engaged to Weasel… did you go crazy when you were planning?"

" I hate you!" I punched him in the shoulder and started to walk away. Draco just followed me smirking under his breath.

" Oh come on Granger, If I am going to help you make Weasel jealous and pretend to be your lover then you can al least tell me about what happened." I stopped and faced him obviously still annoyed with him.

" What's to tell? We were engaged, Then he decided he didn't want to be anymore, end of story!" Draco stood in front of me and walked around me, to stand behind me.

" Come on , you really expect me to believe everything was perfect and then out of thin air, it was over?" He put his hands on my shoulders, and I let out a shiver as he began to move his hands ,and massage my neck. I was so tense, that it actually felt really good. I started to think about telling him, I mean what would it hurt.

" It was sudden" I said softly. " At least it was to me, because I was so blinded by my love for him that I was able to overlook everything until it was too late." He continued to rub my neck. I really enjoyed how his hands felt. " Ron has always had a bit of a temper." I sighed ,but it came out in a moan. That wasn't my intention to do that but I couldn't help it.

" Was that just a moan?" I didn't even have to look at his cocky face to know he was smirking.

" NO don't be such an ass it was not!" I lied through my teeth. I tried to shrug my shoulders and moved away from Draco. " Stop that!"

" Why?"

" Because its distracting" We started walking back down the cobblestone road.

" Distracting because you enjoyed it or distracting because you know you think about me?" I rolled my eyes and pushed him playfully into the wall.

" Hey!" He ran back up to me. " Well go on tell me the rest of what happened between you and Weasel" He really could be annoying , but I had to admit he was not that bad company.

" Maybe later" I smirked as I kept walking. We had ended up finding the rest of the flowers Ginny wanted on her list an hour later. I had promised Draco that I would help him order the food and dessert for him. We came across an old fashioned bakery. When we walked in there was a bell that went off and an old lady with glasses and a pink apron came up smiling to greet us.

" Hello there dears, What can I do for you two?" I smiled up at the lady, but Draco was staring around the store. There were three stories of cookies, pastries, cakes and pies.

" Hello. I'm Hermione and this is Draco" She smiled brighter and nodded. " We need to order desserts for a wedding" She squealed and clapped her hands together. This startled both Draco and I. She was way to enthusiastic.

" Oh that is wonderful!" She came around the counter and wrapped her arms around Draco and myself. " That is truly wonderful! You two are a beautiful couple! You two will be very happy I can see it!" I could see the look on Draco's face was priceless.

" Oh, no Were not together!" As I said that she removed her hands and looked at me sternly. " We are here for our friends wedding." She looked to Draco who just stood there frozen.

" Are you sure, you two aren't a couple? You two just have that certain something I see all of the time in young couples?" She asked still looking at us skeptically.

" I am sure" I said as Draco stood there nodding.

" Oh, well alright then let me show you our wedding packages." if I didn't know any better she almost looked disappointed.

We left the shop and I looked at Draco.

" Can you believe that, She actually thought we were a couple?" Draco and I laughed together as we made our way back to the port key to meet the others.

" Hey Drake!" Blaise was waving Draco over. He walked over and I went and sat by the tree that we had gotten her from. Lavender was waiting for Ron by the tree as well.

" Hello Hermione" She said to me staring and hoping I would come over and speak with her.

" Hi Lavender"

" Is this weird for you?"

" What?"

" Seeing me with Ron, when you are obviously still pinning for him?" I felt my heart stop as her words cut through me. How could she say this to me? I may not be over Ron, but I was not pinning for him? Was I , and was it obvious? I tried to steady my thoughts. I saw Ron coming up from the distance. He was walking with Fred and George. Lavender smiled and waved at him, but his eyes were not on her, they were on me.

" Does it bother you that he's here with you but all he can think bout is me?" I couldn't believe I just said that. I wanted to say something to her so she would leave me alone ,and I was able to say exactly what I thought. I was so proud of myself. At that moment I saw Draco look over here as Ron was coming over.
