The wedding dress was there. It was a pure white long dress with little green gems at the bottom. Deimi was watching the dress carefully for over an hour. And although she found it gorgeous at the beginning now she couldn't see it that way anymore. Why for Merlin's sake was so depressed. She took a look at her watch. It was about nine o' clock which meant that she should be at Ron and Hermione's house in half an hour! She wore her blue mini dress and black flat shoes. Her legs where aching terribly. Working as a healer was not an easy job after all. She apparated and the next moment she found herself in Hermione's living room.

"Welcome Di," Hermione said and hugged her tightly.

"I hope I am not too late," she said smiling at her best friend.

"No, not at all. The Potters are not here yet," heard Ron answering from the kitchen.

She felt a pain in her chest as like she was punched. Every time the same odd feeling. "It's almost a year and I can't get used to it yet," admitted to herself." But life is not like fairytales .You can't have always a happy ending."

A loud "pop" has been heard and Harry with Ginny appeared in the living room. She smiled widely. No matter what happened they will always be very good friends. Both of them.

Ginny approached Deimi and Hermione. She greeted them both and handed a bouquet of white roses to Hermione. "Where is Liam? I thought you said that he would make us the honor of his presence." It was not her intention to be sarcastic honestly. But Ginny couldn't help it. "Our little perfect couple is not so perfect after all."Her thoughts were interrupted by Deimi's answer.

"He has to finish some paperwork and he is really sorry that he can't be with us guys". Harry looked at her for a moment. "Come on Di. We all know that he don't like us. Don't try to excuse him." She clenched her fists angrily but before she could try to defense her fiancé Hermione interrupted them.

"Oh, it's ok! We will catch up another time altogether."

"Yes certainly we will. And I'm sure we will have a blast." She grinned at Harry widely. He was taken aback. They had never argued, especially for this kind of stuff. But now…

For the next couple of hours Harry talked only when it was necessary without even try to participate in the conversation. Ron was really worried about his best mate. He noticed that something wasn't going well but when he tried to ask Hermione she just proclaimed that everything is according to plan. But he was not so stupid, after all.

"Hey mate, why are you so quiet?" Ron approached Harry and sat down next to him.

"Nothing Ron. Everything is as supposed to be." Ron had not believed a word but he remained silent.

The dinner passed unexpectedly well especially for Hermione. The tension among them all was intense the last couple of months. But this night everything was so calm and normal. And suddenly she froze. Fear overcame her. The brightest which of her age realized that this friendly and warm atmosphere was nothing more than the calm before the storm.

Meanwhile…

"Are you sure you are going to succeed your goal?"

"Yes master. We are a step before victory and this time no one will stop us"

The tall man in black laughed evilly. He was sure this time they are going to win. They have to win…
