AN: Well it seems that I start off most of my chapters like this but I am sorry for the wait for an update. Also I do not own Harry Potter or any ideas that seem to have come for another story. I have read so many of them that I can't remember which story I got the idea from but I give creidt to those authors.
August 19th- 2 more days
"I can't believe this," Fred complained to George.
"I know how you feel brother. I mean who has a Bachelors Party two days before the wedding." George agreed.
"Well if you want to explain to Ginny, mum, Jane and Hermione why the groom is hung over on the day of the wedding then be my guest and push the party until tomorrow." Ron said coming out of the backroom.
"I still can't believe you got Tom to close the bar for the whole night." Charlie said in awe; Tom never closed the bar for a private event, ever.
"Trust me it wasn't easy." Ron said not wanting to think about how he did it.
"I still think he has something on Tommy Boy," George said taking a chair from off the table.
"And I still think we don't want to know." Bill said helping George take all the chairs off the table tops.
"Trust me you don't," Ron said with a shiver.
"Fred start helping we still have a lot to do before Ron has to go pick Harry up." Percy said hitting Fred in the back of the head since he was sitting.
"I am directing," Fred said pompously.
"Like you would ever do that," Percy said rolling his eyes. "Start bringing the drinks from the back room to the bar."
"I still don't understand why this has to be a surprise." Charlie said.
"Because Charlie, Harry said that he didn't want a big Bachelors party. So to throw him off the trail we gave him a fake small one yesterday. And it has to be a surprise because Harry doesn't think he wants one." George said as if Charlie was stupid.
"And what makes you think he does want one?" Charlie asked.
"I think the question should be who doesn't want one?" Fred answered with a laugh.
"Come on let's just hurry this up so we can get ready for the party." Ron said stretching because his back hurt from all the heavy lifting.
"I still think we should invite Henry he is a hoot." George said emphasising hoot.
"Haha you are hilarious," Ron said sarcastically. "You know that Mr. Granger hates me still and I will not have him think any less of me by seeing me get drunk at this bachelor party." Ron said.
What Ron said was true everyone knew that Henry didn't like Ron: but everyone who knew Henry knew that he really loved Ron but was only giving him such a hard time because it is his only daughter.
"Have you ever thought that Henry might like you?" Charlie said causing everyone in the room to start laughing.
"Maybe Charlie is right," Fred said through his laughter. "And every time he volunteered you to do all the heavy lifting by yourself without magic was his way of saying I love you." George finished for Fred.
"Yes I know he hates me." Ron said sulking.
"Ron don't look so depressed." Charlie told him.
"Yeah I am sure he will warm up to you. And besides it's not like you plan on marrying Hermione." Percy said pompously.
"Excuse me?" Ron said offended.
"Look Ron don't take this the wrong way or anything but don't you think Hermione is out of your league?" Percy said causing all the brothers to back away from the fight that was about to start.
"I just always saw you with someone like Lavender Brown not with someone like Hermione. I mean she is most likely going to become Head of some department and I never saw you as a person to be in charge of anything." Percy said so harshly that Bill had to stop Fred from getting involved.
"Of course why would I take offence to that?" Ron said so sarcastically that not even Crabbe could miss the sarcasm.
"Ronald I don't see why you are getting so upset about this. I am sure you realized that Hermione would never want to marry you." Percy said so looking so superior that Ron wanted nothing more than to wipe that look off his face.
"And why wouldn't Hermione want to marry me. I am a good guy, we have been dating for months and I make her happy. Listen I know that Hermione deserves better than me. I am just some guy who works in the games department: I'm not the head or anything. Yet I am still one of the top quidditch agents so that has to count for something. But do you know what else I don't need?" Ron said so upset that he didn't let Percy answer.
"I don't need my brother, someone, by the way, who should support me, too tell me that I am not good enough for the girl I love and that it will never work out." Ron said taking a deep breath.
"Ron-" Percy tried but Ron was having none of that. "No Percy I don't want to hear it."
"But I just don't want you sucking up to Henry just so you can find out that it was never meant to be." Percy said thinking about it practically.
"Well I think it is worth it and you are not welcome at the bachelor party tonight because if I see you I think I might do something that we will both regret." Ron hissed at Percy.
"Now Ronald,-" Percy started again.
"No you already told me how you feel I think you have said enough. I need to clear my head can you guys finish up here?" Ron didn't even wait for them to answer before he grabbed a bottle of Firewhisky and stormed out of the bar.
"And don't worry I will still make sure Harry gets here." Ron called over his shoulder, ruining his dramatic exit.
"What the bloody hell Percy?" George said harshly.
"I'm sorry I didn't realise I had said anything wrong." Percy said pushing his glasses up.
"You can't just say things like that." Bill said glaring at him.
"I have every right to say my opinion." Percy replied.
"No you don't," George started. "Yeah especially when they are like that," Fred agreed
"Well we can stand here auguring or we can get this place ready and get ready." Percy said thinking he is better than everyone else.
Bill, Charlie, Fred and George didn't even respond.
OOOOOOOO
"POTTER JUST BECUASE YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED IN A COUPLE OF DAYS DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN SLACK OFF, 25 MORE DIVES." Couch White screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Couch you have got to be kidding me I have already done 100 of the same dives." Harry said flying so he was in front of Couch White.
"And the next game you are playing against Victor Krum." Couch told him turning red in the face.
"But Couch I have beaten him every time we play." Harry told him again.
"And every time you beat him he goes back and trains harder meaning YOU HAVE TO TRAIN HARDER TOO!" Coach White said screaming the last part.
"Stupid paranoid couches," Harry mumbled to himself once he was out of hearing range of Couch White.
One Harry's last dive something caught the corner of his eye. He saw a flash of Weasley red hair and couldn't help but wonder who it was.
Harry quickly flew over to the part of the stadium he saw the flash of red come from. When he got there he was so shocked that he almost fell off his broom.
"Ron?" Harry asked perplexed.
"Hey Harry," Ron said not looking up from the full bottle of Firewhisky.
"What are you doing here?" Harry asked sitting down beside him.
"I went to the Manor and Sock told me you were at quidditch practice so I came here." Ron said depressed.
"Mate what's wrong?" Harry asked knowing something big happened.
"Is it Hermione?" Harry guessed. "Oh no it was something Henry said I told him to go easy on you."
"No actually it was something Percy said that got me thinking." Ron told Harry in such a calm voice it worried him.
"What did he say?" Harry asked dreading the answer.
"Does it really matter what he said? At first I was so mad with him: I mean how could he say that to me but then I realised that he is right." Ron said in a dead voice.
"Ron you are scaring me what did Percy tell you." Harry said shaking Ron until he looked at him.
"Hermione deserves someone better than me. Why should I put both of us through a relationship that we both know won't work out in the end?" Ron finally said.
"Ron, Hermione loves you and she doesn't want to break up with you. If the two of you broke up it would kill her." Harry told Ron.
"But it would be better for her in the end. Hermione needs a guy who is smart and just as perfect as her and someone her father likes." Ron muttered bitterly.
"You have got to be kidding me: this isn't about Henry is it? If it is I can promise you that Henry really loves you already; the fact that you didn't complain during the camping proved to him that you were a good person. Trust me when you see you and Hermione together everyone can see how much you both love each other." Harry told Ron wanting him to understand.
"What time is it?" Ron asked Harry noticing that they have been sitting there for awhile.
"It is a little after 5." Harry told Ron as he looked down at his watch.
"Come on I need a drink." Ron said standing up.
"Wasn't that the point of the bottle of Firewhisky?" Harry asked still a little confused.
"Yeah it is but I think I need something a little strong. Who knew Mr. Granger actually liked me?" Ron said trying to laugh.
"I could go for a few drinks since Hermione is stealing Gin away for a bachelorette party. I get to watch Teddy tonight." Harry told Ron.
"About that mum and dad decided that they wanted to have Teddy and Vicky over for the night and they invited Jane, Mr. Granger and Minnie." Ron told Harry: Hermione and he had planed awhile ago who would be watching the kids when everyone was at the parties.
"That's perfect we can make it a guys night out and we can bash Percy the whole time." Harry said trying to make Ron feel better.
"Sure how about you put on some normal clothes then we will go to the Leaky Cauldron." Ron said pulling himself together: he was not going to let Harry miss his own surprise bachelor party, even though he doesn't know about it.
"Alright come on you can wait in the lobby of the change rooms." Harry said picking his broom up.
"I still can't believe you have a lobby in your change rooms. You know if I had a quidditch pitch I would move the press room so it would be in-between the two lobbies. That way it would be press room, lobbies for the two teams and then the actual change rooms." Ron said ideas just coming to his mind.
"That is a nice idea but where would you build the pitch?" Harry asked as they finally made it to the pitch.
"I would put it within five minutes walking distance of my broom building company so that way I could build the brooms and then test them on the pitch when they were ready for testing." Ron said with a glazed look in his eyes.
"Why don't you do it?" Harry said, meaning it.
"What?" Ron asked surprised.
"I don't see why you shouldn't do it. If that is what you want to do then go for it." Harry said wanting Ron to be happy.
"You are joking right? Me, Ronald Weasley a broom maker," Ron said rolling his eyes.
"Why not?" Harry questioned: even though Ron didn't believe it he really did have a talent.
"I don't know," Ron started sarcastically. "Everyone is expecting me to keep being a quidditch agent. What am I supposed to do with all my clients?" Ron asked.
"Listen Ron, do you really think that everyone wanted me to be a professional quidditch player? No they didn't. People wanted me to be an auror or The Minister of Magic. I did this because it makes me happy. Besides you only have two clients right now and I am sure you could give them to someone else." Harry told Ron.
"Okay I guess I could do that but I will need to save up enough money to build all this and the staff. I have a couple of prototypes and I just need to test them but I won't have that kind of money for at least another 10 years." Ron said a little upset. He was already seeing the plans in his mind.
"I can lend you the money," Harry said quietly hoping Ron wouldn't make a big deal about it: he was wrong.
"What! Harry I can't let you do that. I won't take your money I just can't we are friends I don't want this to be hanging over my head every time we see each other. So thank you but no." Ron said firmly.
"Ron, why not? I have done this with a lot of businesses if you want we could go into this as partners I can always help with money and the business and you can make the brooms and advertising." Harry said hoping that Ron would at least think about it.
"Harry I don't know." Ron said quietly as they finally made it to the change rooms.
"Just think about it. Besides we won't be able to do anything until I get back from the honeymoon but I could have some papers drawn up and can get a couple of listings for vacant land that would be useable. It's not a big deal Ron and I am sure that I will be able to break even within the first year and even if I don't I will still have more than enough money to live just like I am now." Harry told Ron.
"Harry," Ron said giving him a significant look.
"I am only giving you an option if you want to stay as an up and coming agent then be my guest. You can pretend that we never had this conversation." Harry said walking into the change room leaving Ron to think about everything.
When Harry came back 15 minutes later Ron looked to be in deep thought.
"You ready to go?" Harry asked shaking Ron out of his thoughts.
"Yeah I am and Harry I think I will take you up on that offer. But I just have to talk to Hermione first and if we do this we are partners so 50/50." Ron said firmly.
"Only if you are sure I am okay if you want the more control in the company." Harry told Ron.
"I'm positive the only way I am doing it is if this is 50/50." Ron told him.
"Okay fair enough now I'll meet you at the Leaky Cauldron in a minute." Harry said turning on the spot.
"Bloody Hell," Ron said quickly turning after him.
"Harry wait up." Ron yelled just before Harry pushed the door open. Ron yelled just in time because Harry didn't open the door.
"Okay let's go in," Ron said pushing the door open.
"SURPRISE!" Hundreds of voices yelled in unison when Harry walk through the door.
"What is this?" Harry said turning to face Ron.
"Your soon to be brother in laws thought you needed a better bachelor party than the one you had yesterday so we gathered a bunch of guys to celebrate. But since Ginny is our sister you can only watch the strippers." Ron said with a laugh.
"I hope you are ready to enjoy your second last day of freedom." Fred said from somewhere in the crowd.
"Sorry we wanted to have the party tomorrow but Hermione put her foot down." Ron said cringing at how bad 'second last day' sounded.
"No it's great and tomorrow we can finish the conversation we were having." Harry said to Ron before he was pulled into crowd.
"WHO'S READY TO PARTY?" Charlie yelled handing Ron and Harry a couple of beers.
"TO HARRY AND GINNY," Ron toasted before downing his glass.
"To Harry and Ginny," Harry said before he also downed his glass.
Tom looked around his bar and couldn't help but smile. Everyone was having a great time fooling around sharing stories and laughs. He might have to reconsider the whole no private parties idea.
