-Chapter 32-

Hermione went the next week and inspected the house. It was perfect, she told Harry and Luna. It took only a couple of days and she, with the help of the entire Weasley family, moved everything in her flat to the house. She insisted on staying weekends at Grimmauld Place, Ginny didn't ask questions. Everyone received word that there was yet another Weasley grandchild, Fleur had a son, Louis.

The Lovegood House was finished around the same time as Hermione and Ginny's except for the outbuilding which was still being set up. Hermione and Ginny helped the Potters pick out furniture and get set up. The first weekend everything was settled they switched their Friday night dinner to a Saturday and had it at the new house.

Ginny finished dusting and polishing the hundreds of books Andromeda had given Ron. When he showed them to Willow and told her that absolutely every single one of them now belonged to her she proposed to him and he agreed. Molly nearly passed out at the news ("I like her Ronald but you've only known each other for a few months!"). Ron told her not to worry, it would be a while before their wedding.

It felt like they barely blinked but before anyone knew it, it was a week before the wedding. Luna and Ginny had found Ginny's dress. Ginny woke up in the middle of the night the weekend before and shook Hermione awake to ask her if she'd sent out the invitations.

"Sent them out while you were in Portugal, baby. Go back to sleep," she groaned.

"What about…"

"Ginny, absolutely everything is planned. Between me, your mother, Willow, Luna, Fleur, Angelina, and Audrey, every single detail is ready to go. Even Aislin dropped in to help with the menu planning last weekend while you were getting your office set up at The Prophet. I've taken the week off work to make sure nothing has been left out. Wednesday night is your party, Thursday is mine. Friday night you're staying at the Burrow, I'll be with Harry and Luna. Wedding Saturday."

"What…what about your parents?"

"I sent them an invitation. Can we talk about this in the morning?"

"Yeah, okay…"

Hermione split her time between Grimmauld Place and the Burrow finishing up the fine details. Ginny started packing her things up to be moved. Tuesday evening Hermione and Ginny were in the sitting room at Grimmauld Place going over the set list for the band, Lennox and the twins were running around playing and Luna and Harry were looking over The Daily Prophet when the obnoxiously loud doorbell rang.

"You expecting someone, Harry?" Ginny asked.

"No…" he said as he stood up and walked out of the room. There were voices from the foyer and Harry came back into the sitting room. "Uh…Hermione…" before he could say anything Hermione's parents appeared behind him.

Ginny stood up, followed by Hermione.

"Dad…Mum…I…what are you…" Hermione stammered.

"We'd like to talk to you," Hermione's father said.

Hermione grabbed onto Ginny's hand and they lead the Grangers into the dining room. Hermione and Ginny sat on one side of the table, Hermione's parents on the other.

"Did you get the invitation?" Hermione asked.

"We did, and your letter you sent with it. You…you've been through quite a bit since…" Mr. Granger said.

"Yeah, we have. And I'm still here," Ginny scowled and shot a look at her future mother-in-law.

"Ginny…I am really and truly sorry for what I said. Hermione…I didn't want to see anything happen to her."

Ginny nodded at Hermione's mother.

"We…we would like to come to the wedding on Saturday if you both would allow it."

Hermione and Ginny looked at each other. Ginny shrugged her shoulders and Hermione sighed.

"All right," Hermione said.

"Also," Mrs. Granger said, pulling a thick envelope out of her purse, "we'd like to give this to you now. It's your plane tickets, hotel information, and travel guides for eight days and seven nights in Hawaii. Your plane leaves a week from today. Absolutely everything is taken care of from transportation to meals." She slid the envelope across the table and Hermione picked it up.

"Thank you, both of you."

Ginny managed a small smile. "Yeah…thank you," she said.

"Do you have arrangements…"

"We'd prefer it if Lennox stayed with Harry and Luna. They have already approved and Ron's fiancée has said that she will move in for the week to help. We just have to let them know when it will be. We were going to wait a little and plan it ourselves but since you've done this…" Hermione said. Ginny pulled her over close and they whispered for a few moments. Hermione nodded.

"Ginny and I agree that if you would like to take him for the weekend we will be gone then that would be all right."

Ginny nodded.

"Thank you, Ginny," Hermione's mother said.

"It's late, we should get going."

Everyone stood and Hermione and Ginny walked the Grangers to the front door after they said goodbye to Harry and Luna and had given Lennox hugs.

"The ceremony starts at eleven," Hermione said. "If you'd like to come early I am sure the Weasleys would help you find me and…you can help me get ready, Mum."

"I would like that very much."

Hermione hugged her parents. Ginny did the same, rather reluctantly.
