"Zip me up, Harry?"
Harry smiled, moving over to where Hermione was standing. He traced a finger lighty across her back and gently raised the zipper up. He took a step back, admiring how she was dressed.
Hermione was in a sleak black dress that was pulling at her curves. Harry stood there staring at her for what felt like hours.
Hermione looked up into the mirror, noticing the look on his face. She let out a small giggle, and turned around to face him.
"Like what you see?" She teased, slightly swaying her hips as she moved closer to him.
Harry managed a small nod. As she got closer, he opened his arms and pulled her into a tight hug.
"You look amazing. So beautiful, Mione'."
Hermione looked up and placed a small kiss on his cheek. "Thank you," she replied, shyly. "You look pretty amazing yourself. Very, very handsome."
Harry gave her a lopsided grin. "I do look pretty handsome."
Hermione let out a snort and moved back to finish getting dressed. "You're a prat."
"So, are you nervous?" Questioned Harry.
Hermione shrugged. "Not really, quite excited to see Molly and the rest. Plus, I'm sure Fleurs going to be there and I haven't seen her in ages. It should be a great time."
Hermione looked over to Harry. This had been eating at Harry since Ginny had invited them. Sure, he was excited to see the Weasleys again. Most of them anyways. They had been like a family to him for most of his life, and he had deeply missed them.
The thing that had been bothering him though had been the fact Ron was going to be there.
The way Ron had treated Hermione was something that still ate at Harry. Hermione for the most part, was completely over it. Sure, she probably wouldn't try to reforge a friendship with him in this life, but she was in such a better place now. She had the man she truly loved for most of her life with her. He was finally hers, and she was in a complete state of bliss.
Harry though, he had taken it personally. He just couldn't understand why Ron would treat Hermione like that. They had been friends for so many years at Hogwarts, he just didn't understand why he would ruin that for some two-cent bint.
What really annoyed Harry though, was the fact that he had let Ron have Hermione. The thought made him cringe. He was willing to sacrafice his own happiness for a friend, and he just ups and wasted it.
In a way, he was thankful. If Ron hadn't have screwed up, he wouldn't have her now. Still, he never wanted Hermione to feel even an ounce of pain.
"How about you Harry? Are you nervous?"
Harry nodded. "Yeah. Its just weird you know? We have'nt seen them in so long. It just feels, odd."
Hermione gave him a soft smile. "Harry, everythings going to be okay."
She moved over to him, sitting gently on his lap. She took his hand in hers and squeezed it tightly.
"I'll be right there with you."
Harry looked her in her eyes, smiling fondly at her.
"I know you will. When have you not?"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"How do I look?"
Ginny rolled her eyes. This had to be the hundreth time Draco had asked her that.
"I thought I was supposed to be the woman in this relationship? Honestly Draco, you look wonderful. Stop worrying so much."
"I can't help it. Being around your family allways makes me a little nervous." He replied.
"A little?" Said Ginny, smirking.
"Fine, alot. Its just that they're your parents you know? I allways want to make a good impression. Plus, your brothers all hate me. I think I have a right to be a little nervous."
Ginny let out a loud snort of laughter. "They don't hate you. They're just over protective. I am their only sister after all, its to be expected."
"Fine, most of them dont hate me, but lets be honest, Ron still does."
She rolled her eyes, again. "Honestly who cares? Rons nothing but a selfish git. I mean he is my brother, but honestly, he keeps his nose so far up his own arse all the time. I dont think I've ever heard him say a word without his foot being lodged into his mouth a second later. Why do you care so much anyways? You never cared what Ron thought of you."
Draco shrugged. "I just want your family to love me you know? I want to be with you forever, I dont want to put you in an awkward place with your family. Causing you any trouble is something I promised myself I would never do."
Ginny walked over and wrapped her arms around Draco. He pulled her tighter, planting his nose firmly into her hair, taking in her scent.
"Merlin, you smell wonderful." Draco said.
Ginny pulled back, smirking. "Cheeky are we? Just don't worry so much Draco. Everythings going to be perfectly fine."
Draco gave her a weird look. "What about the tension?"
She let out a loud sigh. "Draco, everythings going to be okay. They wont hate you."
Draco shook his head. "No, I meant between Harry, Hermione and Ron. Thats going to be one awkward moment."
Her face slightly fell, a small frown crossing her lips. "I've been worried about that too. Mum has it in her head that they'll all magically become best friends again. I love her and all, but thats never going to happen. I mean just the look on Harrys face when someone mentions Ron shows that he'll have a hard time forgiving him, if ever."
"I think he would have an easier time gaining Hermiones friendship again. Thats even if he admits hes done wrong. No offense, Gin, but we all know Rons one think headed bloke."
Ginny nodded her head in agreement. "Tell me about it. After Hermione dumped his sorry arse, he had the never to call me over and complain about her just randomly ending their relationship. Obviously he left out a few major details, but thats just how he is."
Draco sighed, walking over to the bathroom where Ginny had gone. He pulled her into another embrace, this one tighter than the one before.
"Its our special night. Lets not worry about it anymore. Everythings going to be perfect right?"
Ginny smiled brightly at him. "I've been saying that for the past seven hours and now you listen? It is our special night. Its all about you and me. No one else."
Draco turned her around and planted a kiss on her, soft, red lips.
"I love you, you know." He said.
"Of course I do, Draco." Ginny replied. "I love you too."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
At about eight that night, Harry and Hermione had apparated to the Burrow. They had landed at th entrance of the wards and were making their way up the path to the house.
As they were apporaching, Hermione grabbed Harrys arm and pulled him to a stop.
"Whats wrong?" Questioned Harry, a worried look on his face.
Hermione shook her head. "Nothing, its just, dont do anything too rash okay?"
Harry gave her a questioning look. "ITs just the Weasleys Hermione. Everythings going to be fine. I'm sure it'll just be a queit dinner."
Hermione rolled her eyes. "You know what I'm talking about Harry. Don't let Ron push your buttons. Promise me if he says anything, you'll let it go."
Harry smiled at her. "I promise. If he says anything bad I'll ignore it. For you."
Hermione gave him a sweet smile. She leaned in and gave him a soft, loving kiss on his lips. "Thank you. Now lets get going. We cant be late for our best friends engagement party."
The two made their way up the rest of the walk way. They reached the door and Hermione lightly knocked on the door.
The two heard rustling and walking from inside the house. Hermione took Harrys hand in hers, and gave it a tight squeeze.
"Ready?" She asked, looking him in his eyes.
"Ready." He replied, with a smile.
After a moment the front door of the Burrow opened.
"Oh Merlin! Harry, Hermione its so wonderful to see you two!" Exclaimed Mrs. Weasley as she pulled the two of them into a tight hug.
"Its great to see you aswell Mrs. Weasley." Harry replied.
She finally let go, giving both a them a look over. "Feeding yourself well dear? You're still a growing boy you need all the food you can get."
Harry rolled his eyes. "Yes ma'am. I make sure to have three, good, healthy meals a day."
She smiled at him. "Well, come on in dears. Dinners about ready."
With one more look at each other, Harry and Hermione made their way into the burrow, hand in hand.
