This one is pretty short but I think I make up for it in the next one...
-Chapter 34-
Hermione's party was simple, like she had wanted. She showed the other women around the house and Fleur offered copious amounts of decorating advice. When they walked in the front door there was a staircase slightly to the right, passed it there was the large open sitting room and fireplace. The study was behind a door on the other side of the sitting room, in the study was a half-bathroom. To the left was the open dining room, a glass door led to the sunroom. A swinging door on the far wall of the dining room led to the kitchen. Up the staircase there was the master suite directly to the left and three other bedrooms, two across the hallway (the one directly across the hallway from the suite was Lennox's) with two bathrooms in between and the other bedroom was to the right of the staircase.
Hermione didn't bother showing them the basement seeing as it was unfinished. She couldn't decide what to do with it so she decided to wait and see what the future held. The women ate a light dinner that Molly had brought with them.
"This is amazing, Hermione. Really. Ginny is going to be so surprised," Willow said while they were all relaxing in the sitting room.
"I hope she is. She knows I was planning something but I don't think she ever quite figured it out. I'm about to burst not being able to tell her though."
"When will you tell her?"
"After the wedding and reception. She thinks we're just going to Floo to Grimmauld Place then drive to my flat. Instead I'm going to apparate both of us here, Harry and Luna will have Lennox at the Lovegood house. My parents are driving out here so one of them is bringing my car to park at the house then they'll drive over there together the morning of."
"Zat eez so romantic!" Fleur said.
After a bit more gossip and finishing off the rest of the wine everyone said their goodbyes. Hermione and Luna Flooed back to Grimmauld Place. They found Harry and Ginny asleep on the couch, one twin on each of their chests and Lennox curled up next to Ginny. Hermione shook her head and smiled.
Friday night the residents of Grimmauld Place went to the Burrow for dinner. Everything was set up outside for the wedding but all the chairs and tables were hidden by the large enchanted tent. It looked small for a wedding but inside it there was plenty of space and it had been enchanted to stay at a comfortable temperature.
"Hermione, this is ridiculous. We've practically been living together for months now. I don't understand why you're insisting on this," Ginny said before Hermione Flooed away for the night.
"Gin, we're going to have the rest of our lives to spend in each others arms. This won't kill you."
"You're so damn stubborn."
"You love me for it."
"Yeah, well it's hard not to."
Ginny pulled Hermione for a kiss.
"Just think, love," Hermione said when they separated, "the next time we do that will be at our wedding."
"I can't wait."
"Get some sleep tonight okay?"
"I will, promise. You too."
"I will. Goodnight Gin."
"Love you, 'Mione."
