A/N- Hey everyone!!! It's a beautiful, snow-dayish day in our area of the Midwest region, but we decided to give it up so we could get ahead for you guys. Aren't we the nicest people in the world?! And you guys can't leave us a little review?? I always know how many people are checking…

Yea Yea Katie stop boring them with your rambling. I'm sorry about that she has been a bit…weird since we started High School. Sorry again. All we want is reviews, so do us a favor and take a bit of time to write one. I will be eternally grateful. Uh Oh, (Katie gives me an evil glare) I got to go before she hurts me. (Starts Running)

I don't think I'm gonna go after her, cuz: A) I've been reeeeally tired and lazy this week (I haven't done half of the homework I was supposed to do tonight, saving it for Study Hall tomorrow) and B) I'm tired…..so I guess I'll see her later…

(Comes Back) Hey you didn't chase me for interrupting you…Cool I got away with it. Awesome!!!!!!!

No you don't…I'm just too tired and lazy to run, so you'll get a big scolding now. And while I'm doing that, tune into chapter 8 of Lips of An Angel!!!! (AND DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE US A REVIEW!!!)

The Beginning of the Worst

Harry's POV

"Did you grab the cooler?"

"Yes…"

"Did you grab the suitcases?"

"Yes, Hermione dear."

"Did you grab the dress and tuxedo?"

"YES Hermione! WE.HAVE.EVERYTHING.WE.NEED.ON.THE.CART! Yeesh!!"

"You have your suit and my dress for tonight?"

"Uhhh…don't have that!"

"Now you know why I do a checklist."

"Point taken. Grab them and bring them over so we can get out of here before noon!!! Its already 8:00 and we gotta get out of here or we won't make it on time!"

"Alright!! Lets go!" She said, rushing in with the garment bags holding my suit and her dress. She thrust them on the cart and the bagboy rolled the cart out the door.

"Finally, we're ready to roll!" I cried.

Hermione just rolled her eyes.

We went down the elevator out to the waiting Lamborghini. A cooler filled with cold drinks and a bag with some snacks sat in the middle console, as well as some CDs. Once we hit open country, we rolled down the windows, popped in a CD, cranked up the volume, and enjoyed the wild feeling of music vibration around the car. It was like being wild and free teenagers all over again!

"John Smith's" POV

"That was too easy." I muttered to myself. "Just a couple of Imperious charms and I get a key and free access to the penthouse?! It's just too easy!" My assistants snickered.

I ripped back the secret panel that my "good friend" told me about and inserted the key copy. I turned the key and the 3 red lights next to the door simultaneously shut off. I tried the door with my brand new gloved hands and it swung inward smoothly.

"Step in only two steps. I was warned of more traps." I said, looking at the blueprints that were taken from the front desk. We stepped into the entryway. I saw the indicated box on the blueprints and tapped my index finger once on the top and keyed a complicated sequence quickly into the keypad.

A single beep and the words Secondary Alarms Deactivated scrolled across the screen.

"Yes!" I said quietly. I flicked on the lights and we walked through the halls.

"Now…to work." I said, "Bring in my "good friend"."

Hermione POV

"Ok… we'll just put everything away, then get dressed, and we'll head over to Meadow Commons for the practice."

"Ok…which suit do I need again?" Harry asked, looking adorably confused.

"The one labeled 'Practice Suit'." I said, rolling my eyes. Guys are so adorable when they're confused!

He grabbed it and went into the bathroom while I finished hanging everything up.

"Hermione! I think this looks wrong." Harry said. I turned around and looked at Harry. He was wearing a very casual suit comprising of light brown pants, a white shirt, and a dark brown leather jacket, which he had buttoned up, which he wasn't supposed to do.

"You're not supposed to button up your jacket." I said, walking over to him. He just stood there as I unbuttoned them. I looked up when I was done, and he swooped down on me. Lips pressed softly to mine, moving in an eager way. The way it should be.

"Harry, no. Not now." I said, pushing him back softly. He looked disappointed, but nodded in approval. I went and grabbed my dress from the closet and went into the bathroom to change and get ready.

At The Rehearsal Dinner

"Hermione. I have to hand it to you. You really know how to plan a wedding."

"Thanks Dean. But don't forget, I wasn't the only one that helped plan it. Your fiancé's maid-of-honor helped too." I said, blushing a little.

"You should put those wedding planning skills to good use… by oh… I don't know… planning your own wedding, "Dean said

"Yeah…tell that to my boyfriend, who has yet to propose."

It might have been just a trick of the light or my imagination, but I could have sworn I saw a knowing smile on Dean's face. But when I looked again, it was replaced by a normal smile. I smiled, quite confused, but I was flagged down by Ron, who said that I clearly needed a drink, so he led me away to the bar.

After The Dinner

I couldn't believe my boyfriend. Actually, scratch that, I couldn't believe my other best friend. After he had practically dragged me away from Dean, he ordered me a Romanée Conti, which I surprised myself in sipping as I mingled with Parvati's family. When I finally found Harry again, he was sitting at the bar with Ron and Dean. I looked in front of him and saw about three empty wine glasses. I felt anger rising up inside me as I approached Ron and slapped him in the back of the head.

"Owwwww!!" He whined drunkenly, rubbing the back of his head, "What was that for (Hiccup) 'ermione?"

I shook my head at him and said in a seething voice, "Well for your information Ronald, Harry does not drink that often."

He looked at me blankly and suddenly I began to question Luna's sanity for accepting his proposal.

"HE GETS DRUNK VERY EASLY, YOU PRAT!!!" I practically shouted at him. Thank God the music was playing loud enough that no one heard me. Ron's mouth formed a large O and quickly stood Harry, who had been quiet throughout this whole exchange, to his feet.

He actually stood up rather well, and to my shock he spoke without slurring his words, "Hermione, I'm not entirely drunk yet." He then held out the half-full wine glass in his hand and said, "But this should do it." And before I could mouth any protest, he tipped the glass into his mouth and emptied it.

So now, here I am, in the room Harry and I are sharing at a local inn, brewing a hangover potion, so he won't have a HUGE headache at the wedding tomorrow morning. I added the last of the ingredients and bottled it up, putting it on the bedside table next to Harry, where he would easily see it in the morning.

He lay on the bed, drooling slightly. But he looked so peaceful when he was asleep, no matter how drunk he'd gotten. I smiled in adoration. But I was tired, so I lay down on the fold-out couch and pulled the blanket over myself.

When I awoke the following morning, I was on the bed. Harry was laying beside me, already showered, and stared at me.

"Good morning angel."

"Mmm…good morning." I said, sitting up and rubbing the sleep from my eyes. I saw the empty potion bottle "I guess you found the Anti-hangover Elixir."

"Yes. And I thank you for that." He said, pecking me on the cheek. "I apologize for getting drunk last night. That was wrong and against your instructions. I could have done some serious damage and I'm sorry."

"It's alright…everyone needs to get drunk once in a while." I said, pecking him lightly on the lips. "What time is it?"

"It is 9:30 in the morning, Miss Granger." Harry said with the false enthusiasm of weather forecasters "It will be sunny today with high of 89 degrees, perfect weather for the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Dean S. Thomas."

"Ok…thank you for that Forecaster Potter. I think I will go take a shower now. We have to be at the wedding early."

At The Wedding Pavilion

"I can't do this…" Parvati said nervously, pacing nervously back and forth in front of where we sat in the dressing tent. I was going through a long list while Mrs. Patil fixed my hair and Padma and Luna were helping Lavendar apply makeup. I set down the list, got up, and grabbed Parvati's shoulders.

"You'll be fine." I said, grabbing her shoulders and stopping her "It's going to be a beautiful wedding and you're marrying the man of your dreams. We will make sure everything goes flawlessly. I promise."

She took a deep breath. "Alright." She breathed, occupying my empty chair. I left the tent to go check on the guys while Mrs. Patil and Padma surrounded her with makeup.

I caught up with Harry as he was leaving the boys tent.

"Well, you look very nice." He said, looking at my sari appreciatively "Very…Indian-cultured…and elaborately decorated…you know it really brings out the honey-tint in your hair…"

"Oh stop babbling." I said, giving him a quick peck on the lips. It immediately silenced him. He smiled that dazed smile that you only get from pure pleasure, and leaned in for more. Unfortunately for him, I felt the urge to be evil and quickly turned my head so he caught me on the cheek instead of the lips like I know he wanted to do. He looked so hurt that I felt sorry for the poor lover boy, so I gave him another peck on the lips and whispered seductively in his ear, "There will be more where that came from later, but for now I have to do what I came over here to do."

He looked in shock, both at the way I said it and the lines themselves. He shifted nervously from foot to foot while asking me, "What did you come over here for?"

I smiled. Guys, especially my guy, are so cute when they're nervous.

"I just came over to see how the pre-wedding preparations are going for you boys." I said innocently.

He looked relieved. "Well, Dean's a nervous wreck. He had a zit earlier and Ron was going to curse it off, but we called on Molly and she had this cream that covered it up and is healing it at the same time."

I had covered my mouth in horror. "Ron…no curse…" I stuttered.

Harry tried to muffle a chuckle but it ended up coming out as weird sounding cough. He said, "Don't worry, Dean had the same reaction as you so that's why Molly ended up on the scene."

After checking on Dean and yelling at Ron for even thinking about using his wand, I went back to the girls. Parvati basically attacked me with questions as soon as I walked in the tent," How's Dean??? Is he getting cold feet??? I knew we should have waited longer!! Does he look super hot in his tux??? Wait don't answer that…on second thought I trust you to give me your honest opinion…"

"Parvati, just shut up and sit down!!!"

I hope that on my wedding day I'm not this nervous…

At the Reception

The wedding was a magnificent multi-cultural masterpiece. It was more "normal" (per say, for us), but to be fair, the reception was more Indian-themed. Besides, everyone enjoys a good Bohemian/Indian party. There was a good amount of Indian food, all of which was prepared by the Patil family (with a hint of magic, but Dean's muggle cousins didn't need to know). We performed the magical rituals of marriage before letting all the guests into the bright and multi-colored reception tent. But we were all having a blast!!

We were all sitting on our poufs at low, round tables. The bridal party sat at a lavishly purple and gold embroidered table, decorated with incense and candles. We ate everything in traditional Indian-style. When we got up on the dance floor, however, the music was more modern and to our style. The younger generations got up immediately and began the modern styles of dancing, break-dancing and grinding (our age group included). The older crowd looked appalled, but eventually they calmed down and talked amongst themselves. In our younger style, we jammed through plenty of new rap songs, hip-hop/pop, a little alternative, and a good number of rock-and-roll oldies. We joked about Hannah Montana's "Best of Both Worlds" and told Dean's muggle cousins a well-fabricated story. But dancing got old after a while, so we let the older crowd take the floor and dance to their favorites (surprisingly enough, a lot of them were from our generation). Harry, a bunch of our friends, and I took to the bar for some well-sought-after drinks. We took in a lot of highly alcoholic beverages, but I chilled after two martinis, 3 shots of vodka, and several wines. I'm not denying that I was drunk, but compared to Ginny and the guys, I was barely drunk. I watched them down shot after shot of Bailey's, giggling drunkly with Parvati, Lavendar, and Luna (who was due very soon and obviously not drunk) as we sipped on Pepsi. Ginny got to 42, but then she got on the bar counter and started trying to molest the poor barman, but lost consciousness after we wrestled her off the counter. We stopped the boys at that point. By then it was getting late and Parvati was complaining about being "tired" (we all knew she wanted sex), so we ate the delicious 5-tiered cake courtesy of Mrs. Weasley, Dean took off Parvati's garter, and she threw her bouquet into the crowd, which I caught. Harry just grinned. We helped clean up and left for the inn.

The Next Day…

After taking care of Harry's hangover (again) and packing up our belongings, we hit the open road back to London, except with Ron and Luna in tow this time. We had TONS of food and good music. We had a great time in the car going home.

We dropped Ron and Luna at their apartment and drove back to Le Royale Tower. We asked Monty if anything had happened, and he said he hadn't, but he had a funny look in his eyes. He handed me a couple of messages and piles of mail. We went upstairs with the luggage, keyed open the door.

Hermione took two steps into the apartment while I was closing the pad.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I took a step inside and dropped my bags in shock. I could just not believe it.
