Planning the wedding

Opening her eyes she came face to face with a chocolate muscular body with tight 6 pack abs. Smiling, she nuzzled her head deeper to smell the musky male scent of Blaise. A giggle escaped her and she felt both boys who she assumed were asleep wrap their arms around, holding her tight and secure.

"What time is it?" she asked with a sigh.

"Eight. And before you ask, I'm not getting up," came the muffled voice of Blaise Zabini who buried his head in her hair. Lifting her head she turned to look at Draco who was playing with the strap of her pyjama top, turning her head back to face Blaise who was looking at her with adoration in his bright blue eyes.

"We have to get up we've got class in an hour with our mothers and if they ask why we're late then I'll just have to tell them the truth that you didn't get up." Before she had finished her sentence Draco had jumped out of bed, Blaise not far behind.

"Hermione what are you waiting for?! We have class in an hour and you're still in bed," cried Draco from the other side of the room. Laughing to herself she climbed out of bed remembering to use that threat again.

15 minutes later they were dressed and were eating breakfast.

"We have to arrange our wedding," explained Hermione before biting in to her piece of toast.

"How much you betting that every parent in there will try to tell us what we should and shouldn't have?" Blaise contemplated while finishing his fry up.

"30 galleons say they do."

"Boys, no gambling at the table," She said causing everyone to laugh.

"Come on we better get to class," and with that they stood up put their plates into the dishwasher, grabbed their bags that where lying on the floor near the door and headed outside. It took them 10 minutes to finally leave the garden as Blaise forgot his quill and his scarf, Draco forgot his extra piece of parchment and lunch, which was on the counter in the kitchen that Hermione made earlier that morning for all 3 and Hermione forgot her new watch and wanted to change her regular cloak for her winter one.

Walking down the road to the turn off they spotted Ron and Lavender.

"Ron, Lavender over here." She called waving her arms in the air to catch their attention.

"Boys don't do anything to wind him up, just be nice, please," she pleaded giving them her best puppy dog face. Sighing Draco leaned down and softly planted his lips on hers savouring the taste.

"We'll behave as long as he does," drawled Draco nodding to where Ron stood. Little did they know that Lavender and Ron had a similar conversation to theirs and Ron had also agreed to behave.

"Hey 'Mione." Called Lavender as they came closer.

"Hey Lav. Hey Ron" replied Hermione hugging them both affectionately.

"This is gonna be a nightmare I know full well that mum is going to get involved; she'll try to plan mine, Gin's and the twins wedding." He moaned miserably "and then she'll say, Ronald Weasley I'm am your mother and I should be allowed to help with the wedding." He exclaimed with a very good impression of his mother as he stood there with one hand on his hip, wagging his finger.

This caused both Lavender and Hermione to start laughing as they had both seen Mrs Weasley doing just that when one of the twins were in trouble.

"Come on" Lavender giggled as she grabbed Ron's hand and began to drag him to the end of the road closely followed by Hermione who was walking without a care in the world, holding both Draco and Blaise's hand in the process.

"Is she really like that? Weasley's mum that is?" asked Draco swinging his and Hermione's hand.

"Oh yes, you don't want to get on the bad side of Molly Weasley. You don't remember the howler she sent Ron after that incident in 2nd year?" giggled Hermione. Both boys looked at one another; this was something they had to remember.

Reaching the doors to the Great Hall they saw all the other couples waiting and chatting happily seeming not bothered that after this lesson their lives would begin to change for better or for worse. Suddenly the doors began to open and all the students turned towards the Great Hall and surprise, surprise there was not just the 10 mothers who were teaching them everything they needed to know for the future but ALL of the student's parents were there also.

"Children don't worry; sit down everything will be explained." Said Elaine pleasantly. Doing as she said they all sat down with their respective partners and kept glancing uncertainly towards where their parents sat.

"Now I bet you're all wondering why you're parents are here, wait that's a stupid question of course you are," the students chuckled. "Anyway last lesson I'm sure you remember we discussed marriages in the Muggle and Wizarding world, before you left we said that this lesson we would organise your weddings however we believe that you may need the help guidance of your parents for this task." She explained. "Now, we will be handing out some books, these books have cakes, decorations, clothing, and anything you could possibly need for a wedding. Today you'll also be given a portion of the money you earned from the results of the start of school tests. But a word of warning if your total expenditure exceeds the amount you are given, the money you pay the excess will come out of your own pocket."

All the parents stood up and headed to where there kids sat, if they had more than one child they all sat together to discuss wedding arrangements. Looking around Hermione saw that the Dursleys hadn't shown up however Sirius had and Harry seemed a lot less worried than a few minutes ago. Noticing Draco's and Blaise's and her own parents heading towards them, the worry that she had hidden disappeared as she noticed that all the 6 parents were getting on very well.

"Mum, Dad, it's good to see you. How are you?" asked Hermione cautiously trying to make comfortable conversation.

"We're fine darling and I'm sorry we never told you about this. We are prohibited from sharing details." Her mother told her.

"Don't worry about it. Everything's fine." she reassured them seeing Draco and Blaise hugging and talking to their parents. The thing that struck her the most was why Bellatrix Lestrange and her husband Rodolphus where here. Deciding not to be rude she sat down and everyone else soon followed. After introducing her parents to Draco and Blaise, Lucius spoke.

"I bet you're wondering why Bella and Rod are here. The reason is that as Bella has just discovered that she is in fact pregnant and wanted you to know, but she's too cowardly to come out and say it. They wanted to help."

"That's great news, when I fall pregnant they'll probably end up friends," Hermione said happily. The Wizarding world had been shocked when the news that both Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange were under an extremely powerful Imperius Curse, it was so strong that even when they were locked away in Azkaban they stayed loyal. Many scoffed and disbelieved their story but their evidence when it was uncovered was irrefutable.

When they first joined the Deatheaters they had been challenged; the first test was the torture of Neville's parents; Frank and Alice. Back then the curse was weak enough to fight, Bellatrix placed a dark curse on them so that when the time came, the Longbottom's would be free from insanity. The only person able who could rid them of this was Bellatrix. After the Dark Lords Imperius had been lifted, she headed straight to St Mungos and destroyed the curse that caused the Longbottom's insanity.

The Lestranges who were earshot to their vicinity and had heard Hermione's last statement, came closer and Bella said, "I'd like that as you're gonna be my niece or niece in-law. I'm not quite sure which one though," she chuckled. Hermione smiled and said niece in law.

"Aunt Bella when are you due?" asked Draco.

"Not till next summer kiddo." She told him.

"Now that were all settled down and are comfortable around each other, I think we should get to the purpose in hand don't you? The wedding," said Narcissa excitedly.

"Hermione, Draco and Blaise when do you want the wedding to take place?" questioned Maria.

"I always wanted a winter wonderland type wedding with huge statues of ice, snow falling to the ground lightly." Responded Hermione shyly

"That sounds beautiful dear." Maria Zabini admitted in a soft calming voice turning to her husband, Marco she handed him a quill, some parchment and ink and said, "Write down all the things that will be in the wedding please dear, don't forget to write what Hermione just said."

"Thank you, but it was just a child's dream when you're little, surely you had the same?" Hermione said smiling as she watched Marco write her suggestions down on the parchment.

"Oh I did and that child's dream as you call it came true, it was warm, blue skied day with flowers blossoming birds cheeping. Bit too gooey eyed for what you expected from the wife of an ex-deatheater was it?" she replied smiling when she saw her face while she described her wedding.

"You're right that wasn't what I was expecting at all," admitted Hermione still shocked at what she had been told. Maria and Marco laughed and shared a private joke. Blaise colored a little at their intimacy in his presence.

"So, the wedding, do you want a theme or not?" asked Lucius bored. Weddings never held much excitement for him. His own wedding was planned mainly by his wife, mother and mother-in-law.

Before anyone could speak Blaise spoke "The wedding will be themed it will be exactly like Hermione's dream wedding when she was a child." He said sending a loving smile to Hermione. Carefully she leaned over and placed her lips on Blaise's, putting all her love she could muster in to that one kiss, they never heard Mrs Granger and Mrs Zabini cooing or whispering how much they had grown and that their babies weren't babies any more. Pulling apart Blaise whispered in her ear "I love you" before pulling back completely he grabbed her hand and giving it a little squeeze.

Smiling at the two of them Draco turned towards them as Hermione spoke.

"Ok then, so we're having a winter wonderland style wedding, with ice sculptures of Salazar Slytherin, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw Draco Blaise and Me," she announced to them.

"If that is what you want than you shall have it." Said Lucius with a small smile indicated for Hermione.

"Here look through these magazines for your wedding clothes." Explained Narcissa handing the books over to Blaise who gave the ladies magazines to Hermione and split the men's robe magazine between Draco and himself.

5 minutes later Blaise and Draco had both decided and picked their robes to suit with the style of the wedding. Draco went for silver dress robes and silver trousers a dark blue shirt with a tie that had blue and silver in diagonal stripes, his shoes would be white. Blaise however was different he'd gone for a dark midnight blue dress robes and trousers with a silver shirt and black shoes; his tie was identical to Draco except the diagonal stripes went in the opposite direction.

Although both boys had chosen their outfits Hermione lagged behind. She had gone through nearly every book but still hadn't found the ideal dress and was beginning to think that there wasn't the dress she had in mind in the book. Going through the last book she turned the page and gasped when she saw a shimmering ice blue dress with small diamonds on the chest. It was strapless and reached just above the floor and it was a sweetheart corset style with a deep V in the back that would dip just above her lower back. The shoes were what Cinderella had in the fairy tales she once read as a child: clear slippers.

"I found it the dress! It's beautiful! This is the one!" She cried bubbling with excitement. The magazine was passed around till it was back in her hands.

"That's beautiful; if that's the one you want then it is yours." said Marco.

"Now cake, my favourite part given that I'm eating for two," said Bellatrix with gusto.

"Chocolate,"

"Vanilla,"

"Just sponge," the trio said all at the same time, Hermione laughed squeezing Blaise's hand. "How about we have the top layer made of Sponge, the second layer Vanilla and the bottom layer plain Chocolate. The icing will be blue and white and it should be shaped in a castle," she suggested. All four women's eyes widened as Hermione explained the cake.

"I love it, you're definitely going with the theme my dear," said Hermione's father smiling proudly at his only daughter.

Throughout the lesson they planned the decorations, the date and destination. It had been decided that they would have the wedding at Hogwarts in the Great Hall on the 4th of December. Hermione was elated that her wedding dreams were coming true. She felt like a pampered princess.

Here's chapter 9, I hope you all are enjoying it so far, once again thanks to my Beta for her hard work.
