Hermione was so excited for tonight. Tonight was her Bachelorette Party, hosted by Ginny, Luna, Fleur, Angelina, Farah, and Heather. Last week, her and Fred made an agreement not to have "fun" until after the wedding, since she was now forty-one weeks (January 23). She was also bummed because she can't be in Fred's embrace the whole night! So, during the day (after Hermione finished packing for the night and Honeymoon) Fred did EVERYTHING she asked him to do. He cooked her favorite foods too, until 6:30 came and Ginny pulled her away from Fred (not before a major snog though). Hermione and Ginny disapperated to the Burrow for the Party.
"Alright 'Mione, put this on." Ginny ordered as they all sat in a circle on the floor (Hermione in a bean-bag) and handed 'Mione a white sash that said "Bachelorette" in purple cursive. Ginny also passed around wine glasses and opened a bottle of apple cider, non-alcoholic and filled the glasses.
"So, who ready for a fabulous dinner?" Ginny said and clapped her hands. George and Ron came in wear butler suits (making Hermione giggle), putting the trays of delicious looking food on the floor in front of them. Ginny thanked them and shooed them off, leaving all the women alone again.
"Aren't they supposed to be at Fred's Bachelor Party?" Hermione asked, taking a bite out of a piece on hamburger pizza.
"Well, I asked them to bring the food in wearing butler suits and told them then they can start his party." Ginny said, eating a piece off pepperoni pizza. They talked some more about the wedding, honeymoon, and baby until they finished the three pizzas.
"Alright, game time! How about Exploding Snap?" Ginny said, pulling out the cards and they started playing. They game went on for an hour until Luna won the game, earning her a red laced bra and panty set. And then, it was time for cake. It was shaped in a heart form and had purple cursive writing in icing saying "Congratulations Hermione" on top of white icing. After they all finished their cake, Ginny pulled out six gifts.
"Present time!" Luna said excitedly. Ginny handed Hermione a purple bag with pink paper inside. Hermione took the paper out and pulled out a black baby doll nightie with matching lace panties from Fleur. Next, Ginny handed her a green wrapped box with a pink bow on top. Inside was a royal purple chemise with matching lace panties from Angie. Next, Ginny handed 'Mione a light blue bag with rainbow paper in it, which Hermione removed. In the bag were a royal green bustier and a matching lace thong from Heather. Next present gave to Hermione was a black and pink corset with a matching thong giving by Farah. Hermione was given a white camisole and matching lace panties by Luna, and lastly a black and pink polka-dotted push-up bra with black lace trip and a matching thong, with three large bottles of lavender, peppermint, and frankincense scented massage oils from Ginny.
"Thank you so much everyone!" Hermione said as she put her gifts into her suitcase. They talked a little more then changed into their PJ's as Ginny made a pallet on the floor, transfiguring a mattress for Hermione. They all fell asleep quickly, Hermione thinking about Fred and tomorrow.

"'Mione, it's going to be okay" Harry said, rubbing a shaking Hermione's arm. She was looking at her and Harry's reflection the large, full-length mirror; her in her wedding dress and veil with her hair in a bun with curled hairs to frame her face and Harry in a black-and-white tuxedo with a pale yellow tie. The bridesmaids and Maid of Honor were already dressed in their knee-length, pale yellow with a mint green sash and bow around their waist, but every girls top were different. Ginny's (the Matron of Honor) was a sweetheart neckline, Luna's (bride's maid) was spaghetti strapped, Fleur's (bride's matron) was tank topped, Heather's (bride's matron) was halter topped, and Farah's (bride's matron) was plain strapless. The groom's men (George; best man, Ron; groom's men, Bill; groom's men, Charlie; groom's men, and Harry; groom's men) and the bride's maid's and Matron of Honor lined up except for Harry, he was walking Hermione down the aisle.
"Here we go." Harry said as he linked elbows with Hermione as the music started and George and Farah started walking out. Then Ron and Luna, Bill and Fleur, and Charlie and Heather. It was Ginny's turn, but before she proceeded out she gave Hermione her bouquet and walked out. The music changed to the Bridal March as Harry squeezed her arm and the doors opened and they proceeded down the white aisle with red rose petals on the aisle. Hermione looked around the garden, seeing all the Weasley family and her friends from Hogwarts. She looked at the bride's party and the groom's party. And then, her brown, teary eyes met Fred's sparkly, ocean grey-blue eyes. A smile lifted on his lips as Hermione walked up to him and so did Hermione as she gave Ginny her bouquet and the music stopped.
"Who gives this woman away?" Percy said with a hint of a smile on his always-serious face.
"I do." Harry said, hugging Hermione and giving her a kiss on the cheek before placing her hand in Fred's and taking his place by Charlie. Hermione smiled as she stepped up next to Fred and they turned to face each other. Fred mouthed "I love you" and as did Hermione.
"Hermione and Fred will now read their own vows. Fred, you first." Percy said and Fred squeezed Hermione's hands.
"I, Frederick Gideon Weasley, take you Hermione Jean Granger to me my magically and mugglely wedded wife. I promise to love you unconditionally no matter what, even if our hard-headed personalities get ahead of us. I promise to care for you no matter what magic or muggle things get in our way. And I swear to care for your unborn baby. I love you, 'Mione." Fred finished with tears in his eyes. Hermione was balling tears of love and happiness and she began her vows.
"I, Hermione Jean Granger, take you Frederick Gideon to be my magically and mugglely wedded husband. I promise to love you unconditionally no matter what, even if you and George decide to test your new pranks on me. I promise to care for you even if something gets in our way. And I solemnly swear that we'll be up to no good. I love you, Fred." Hermione finished as she saw a single tear roll down Fred's cheek.
"Now, if any of you do not wish for this lovely couple to be married, speak up now or forever hold your peace." Percy said as Hermione and Fred looked at the crowd. Suddenly, Hermione's eyes grew ten times bigger and Fred tensed up in front of her as they saw a blonde haired man step onto the aisle.
"D-Draco?" Hermione stuttered, shocked and very upset. She looked back at Fred, who was steaming man. She took Fred's face in her hands, told him she'll be right back, and marched off to the back room with Draco.
"What. Do. You. Think. You. Are. Doing?" Hermione asked him, seething with anger. He smirked at her and walked toward her.
"I'm here to stop you from making the biggest mistake of your life." He said, not crossing the five foot mark.
"Fred is not the biggest mistake of my life! You were!" Hermione semi-yelled, stunned at what he said. She couldn't believe Draco was saying that!
"HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT, HE'S A BLOOD TRAITOR!" Draco yelled at Hermione and was still not overstepping the line.
"AND I'M A MUDBLOOD! IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT BLOOD, IT'S ABOUT LOVE!" Hermione yelled, tears streaming down her hot cheeks.
"But, Hermione I'm still in love with you," Draco said quieter. Before Hermione could say something back, Draco stepped over the line and Kingsley and Mad-Eye took him away. Once they were gone, Hermione smiled and breathed a sigh of relief and walked back to Fred. She opened the giant wooden doors, and walked down the aisle again toward her Fred. She saw Fred look at her from George's shoulder and smile the biggest smile, she chose him and not Malfoy. Hermione smiled as Fred took her hands again and they faced each other.
"George, the rings please?" Percy said and George handed Percy the rings. Percy gave Fred and Hermione their ring to give one another.
"Fred, repeat after me and then put the ring on Hermione's finger." Percy explained, giving Fred the gold ring with a line of diamond around the middle of the ring. "With this ring, the symbol of my never ending love, I thee wed."
"With this ring, the symbol of my never ending love, I thee wed." Fred said with a sparkle in his eyes as he put the ring on Hermione's ring finger with her engagement ring. Now it's Hermione's turn.
"With this ring, the symbol of my never ending love, I thee wed." Hermione said with tears treating to spill from her as she placed the plain golden ring on his ring finger. Percy then took out a silver knife and two ribbons; pale yellow for Hermione and mint green for Fred. He then cut their palms and tied their hands together, bonding them magically. Percy then pulled out his wand, muttering a spell. Their hands started glowing a bright gold, then the gold light engulfed their bodies. They both had a sense of happiness, joy, and love. The light started fading and Percy took their ribbons of and smiled.
"You are now mugglely married and magically bonded. Fred, you may now kiss the bride!" Fred and Hermione smiled when Percy said that. Fred leaned down and captured Hermione's lips in the most sweetest kiss. Hermione smiled and put her arms around his neck and he lifted her off the ground and spun her, making her laugh.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I now present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Gideon Weasley!" Percy said with a great big smile as the crowd cheered. They turned to face the crowd and linked elbows and proceeded down the aisle, happy as can be to the Reception tent. They entered the white tent and saw yellow carpeting, a wooden stage-like dance floor, and tables around the dance floor. The tables were covered with a mint green table cloth with a pale yellow lace cloth over the green. The center pieces were so beautiful, there were yellow buttercups in green vases. Then there was cheering all around the room.
"Please give a hand for Mr. and Mrs. Fred Weasley!" George said as the cheers and clapping got louder and George walked in between Fred and Hermione.
"Now, as the best man, I have to make a speech about these two love birds. I'll start with Freddie-boy here. Now I've know Fred since the day we were born and boy have we pulled some good pranks. I remember this one fantastic prank ever was when we put on a big show when we left Hogwarts and scared Umbridge half to death. And then if I remember, you wouldn't shut up about Hermione. How you'd wish she was yours, but now she is." George finished talking about Fred.
"Now for you my newest sister-in-law. I've known Mrs. Book-worm Weasley since her first year on the train, and she was still Mrs. Bossy-boots but she has toned down a bit. Back then, she was Mrs. Frizzy-haired-study-bug and now she's Mrs. Weasley. You're lucky Fred, you got a woman with brains and a smokin' body and you're lucky too, 'Mione, you've got a guy who will make you laugh and smile even when it's a rainy day and will love you. I can see it. Congrats to Hermione and Fred!" George finished, earning cheering and clapping from the crowd, a tight hug from Hermione, and a brotherly hug from Fred. Then Ginny came skipping toward them and took the mic from George and began her speech.
"As the Matron of Honor, I have the pleasure to give this speech. Let's start with Hermione shall we. What can I say, she's gorgeous, brilliant, caring, loving, optimistic, and has been my best friend since my third year. She helped Harry and Ron find the Sorcerer Stone in her first year, then helped Harry and Ron save me in her second year, she saved Buckbeak in her third year, and did a lot more wonderful things. I am very happy for you. And now it's time for Fred. Fred, Fred, Fred, you are the most wonderful big brother anyone could have. You're hilarious, a wonderful prankster, and a great friend to everybody. I remember one time, you and George turned my hair bright yellow and I totally got you and him back. I just want to say how much I love you both. To Hermione and Fred!" Ginny said, toasting apple cider. Fred looked at Hermione with a smile and gave her a peck on her mouth. Then the music started playing the song "You and Me" by Lifehouse (their song) and Fred led Hermione onto the dance floor and started dancing with her.
"You look beautiful tonight 'Mione." Fred said as he danced around the dance floor with his wife.
"You look dashing yourself." Hermione said as she rested her head on his chest. They danced in a happy silence for a while until the song ended and he dipped her. After the song was over, Fred led Hermione over to their table and they began to eat their lunch. After they finished eating, they went over where the four tier cake was. They saved the top layer (which was chocolate with fudge filling) for their 1st anniversary. The other flavors were red velvet with cream cheese, vanilla with raspberry filling, and chocolate with Nutella filling. Fred fed Hermione a slice of the chocolate flavor from the bottom layer and Hermione fed Fred a piece of the vanilla cake and Fred kissed his wife after he was finished chewing. Until everything changed.
