Okay, so no one knows what Mr. and Mrs. Grangers' names are, so we're gonna go with Jane and Charles.

Disclaimer: How many times do I have to spell it out for you? I do not own any of this. Except like all the characters I made up (Abigail, Carrie, Jake, Jo, Jasmine, Tina), and your reviews (hehe)!

To my lovely reviewers:

The Gryffindor Drummer: Thanks! Here ya go…

snHP892: I am so obsessed with the Phantom of the Opera, it is not even funny. I have the DVD, but not the one with the special features, and I have the special edition CD. We sang a medley of it in chorus this year, so then like everyone went to the movie when it came out, and then we watched it on the last day of school and everyone was like singing along and stuff. It was really fun.

SmrtDancrGrl: Thanks! I have another story called Just Another Year Putting Up With Potter, which is a Lily/James one, but it's kinda on hold right now cuz I'm having writer's block and I'm waiting to learn more about Lily and James in the sixth book.

mmoore1545: Thanks!

the-power-of-love: Here's the update…

Destany Mitchell: I looked on which has a thing where there's like biographies of all the characters, and Mr. and Mrs. Granger weren't even on there, so I'm guessing they don't have names. Glad you liked the last chapter, and the wedding's coming up soon, be patient.

Chapter Seven:

Wedding Preparations

……………

Six months later…

……………

"Okay, we have the date set, the location, the officiate, the food for the reception, and…that's about it. There's so much more to do! We still have to finish the guest list, get the rings, get the cake, get the flowers, get the bridesmaids' dresses, get my dress, get your tux, get your attendants' tuxes, not to mention a million more little things that I forgot to mention! Why did we ever decide to do this the Muggle way?"

"To honor your parents and my mum's parents. And we're not completely doing this the Muggle way, just the majority of it. I mean, all the guests are witches and wizards except for your parents. And Mione…"

"What!" she snapped, cutting him off.

"I just wanted to say calm down. And don't forget the reason we're doing all this."

"Which is…?"

Harry looked hurt. "The reason we're doing all this is because we love each other and we want to get married. We do want to get married, don't we?"

Hermione's expression softened and she looked kind of embarrassed. "Of course we want to get married. I'm sorry, Harry. It's just all this wedding planning is driving me up a wall." She kissed him softly on the lips. "Forgive me?"

"How can I not when you look so damn cute when you're mad?"

"Harry!" She smacked him on the arm playfully, and then drew him into a more passionate kiss.

"Oooh, look, it's the lovebirds."

"Ginny!" they both said, drawing away from each other and looking embarrassed.

"What? I just came to take Hermione dress shopping," she said with mock innocence. "Didn't know I would be interrupting something. 'Member, Mione, we're meeting your mum and my mum at a dress shop in Muggle London."

"Yeah, I remember, I just lost track of time, is all. And don't call me Mione."

"You let me call you Mione, Mione," interrupted Harry.

"Yeah, but you're my fiancée. You can do whatever you want."

"Oh. Can I do this?" he asked as he pulled her closer and started kissing her neck repeatedly, and then bringing her lips to his in a long French kiss.

"You can definitely do that," said Hermione, sighing with pleasure. "But I have to go dress shopping now. Looks like Ginny already left," she said with a giggle.

"See you later, love."

"See you honey."

……………

"There she is! Hermione, where've you been? I thought you were right behind me!"

Hermione blushed. "Well…"

"Oh, so I did interrupt something didn't I?" Ginny giggled.

"Leave her alone, Ginerva Weasley! She can do whatever she wants. After all, she's getting married in seven months."

Hermione groaned. "Uhh! Don't remind me!"

"Funny, that's exactly what Mione said just as I was Apparating. 'You're my fiancée; you can do whatever you want…'" Ginny just had to get her teasing in; she hadn't done enough of that already, apparently.

"Shut up!" Hermione hissed at Ginny. "And don't call me Mione!" Ginny giggled. Hermione turned to her mum and Molly. "We better get in there, sorry to keep you waiting."

"Quite alright, sweetheart," her mum replied. Then more mischievously, "We don't mind, do we, Molly?"

"Uhh, not you too!" Hermione mumbled as they led her into the Muggle bridal shop.

……………

They walked up to the front desk and were greeted by an older-looking woman. "Hi, my name is Sophie, what can I do for you, today?"

"Hi," Molly Weasley answered. "Hermione here is looking for a dress."

"Okay, here, I'll hand you off to Bridget here," replied Sophie. Then she yelled to a person in the offices behind her, "Hey Bee! Can you come and help this customer?"

"Yeah sure, one moment," replied the unseen Bee.

"She'll be with you in just a moment." Sophie directed them over to a waiting area. They all went over and sat down in hard plastic chairs.

"So dear, do you know what you're looking for?" Molly asked.

As Hermione was about to answer, a young lady who looked to be fresh out of college came over to where they were sitting. "Are you Hermione?" she asked.

"Yes," answered Hermione. "And this is my mum, Jane, and my best friend Ginny and her mum, Molly."

"Hi! I'm Bridget, but you can call me Bee. I'll be helping you find the perfect dress today."

"Hi," replied Hermione, Molly, Jane, and Ginny.

"Okay, can you tell me everything you have planned so far for your wedding? It helps me get to know you better and find the perfect dress to match what you have planned."

"Yeah, sure. It's not much. All we have so far is the location, a lovely little park near where we went to school ((A/N: It's really the Hogwarts grounds, but since this is a Muggle shop, she can't say that.)); the officiate, our old headmaster; the food for the reception, a small buffet; the date, May nineteenth; and hopefully after today, my dress."

"How many bridesmaids?"

"Well, we're thinking three, besides Ginny, who is the maid-of-honor. We'll probably come back in a few weeks to get their dresses. They couldn't all make it today."

"Alright, let's get started looking."

……………

Three hours later, Hermione Apparated back home, worn-out, but ecstatic. After two and a half hours of searching, they had finally found the perfect dress. They had also found a few possibilities for bridesmaids' dresses.

"Hey honey, how was it? Any luck?" Harry came in and sat by his fiancée on the couch.

"Yeah, actually. I found the perfect dress, and we even found a couple possibilities for Ginny, Lavender, Angelina, and Alicia's dresses."

"That's great, sweetheart. Feeling a little less stressed out now?"

"Slightly, but not really, I mean we still have the rings to get, the cake, the flowers, the guest list…" Harry put a finger to her lips.

"Shhh. We'll get it all done, I promise. Just relax." He replaced his finger with his lips and kissed her lightly. "Actually, let's do some of that now and get it over with."

"The guest list."

"Okay, who do we have so far?"

"Well, first of all, Ginny is my maid-of-honor, and Lavender, Angelina, and Alicia are my bridesmaids. Ron is your best man, and Fred, George, and Remus are your groomsmen. Bill, Charlie, Neville, and Percy are ushers. Carrie and Jasmine are leading little Tina in as flower girl, and Jake is ring bearer. Then, so far, here are the people we decided to invite: Abigail, Jo, Penelope, Draco, Minerva, Tonks, Seamus and his wife, Dean and his fiancée, Neville's girlfriend, all the Professors, Hagrid and Olympe, my mum and dad, Molly and Arthur, and that's it I think. So far that's around twenty-five people, depending on how many of the Professors show up. Oh wait. Then there're all the people that used to be in the Order that we didn't include. Like Kingsley and Mad-eye, and all those people. Can you think of anyone else?"

"Not off the top of my head, no, but do think I could possible invite all of my DADA classes?"

"I don't see why not, if I can invite my Arithmancy classes. It's not like we have much limit on space here, we're having it outside at Hogwarts."

"Yeah, good point. Okay, let's go over the other details real fast."

"'Kay. We are having our wedding on May nineteenth, two-thousand-three, at Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, with the aforementioned people in attendance. My dad is walking me down the aisle, and Albus Dumbledore is marrying us. My dress is the one I bought today, which I can't describe to you or let you see, unfortunately, because it's bad luck, and everyone else's dresses are as follows: Ginny's is going to be kind of sageish green colored, and Lavender, Angelina, and Alicia's are going to be like a rosy champagne color. The little flower girls' dresses are going to be that sagey color, except for Tina's which will be the champagne color. Your tie will be white, Ron's will be sage, the groomsmen's will be champagne, and the ring bearer's will be champagne. Oh yeah, and the ushers' will be split up, so Bill and Charlie's will be champagne, and Percy and Neville's will be sage."

"Okay, wow! We have a lot done."

"Not really, actually. We still have a lot left to do."

"Okay, what next?"

"Flowers?"

"Alright."

"I think lilies, roses, and tulips."

"That's fine with me."

"Okay, the lilies should be the white kind with a little bit of pink inside, the tulips should be white and red, and the roses should be that kind where they are like white with a little bit of red on the edges and just plain red ones."

"Okay, that was easy. I agree with all that. What else do we have to do?"

"That's the problem. After that, I have no idea where to start. We have SO much stuff to do, still!"

"Mione… Mione!" Hermione was still mumbling to herself, something about 'cake-tasting' or something. "Hermione!"

Hermione was finally brought out of her frenzy. "What!"

"Hermione, calm down! The wedding is still seven months away! We have plenty of time! Please. Just calm down and relax."

"I'm just afraid we won't get everything done before the wedding." Harry was surprised to see there were tears forming in Hermione's eyes.

"Mione, I promise we will have everything done. Everything will be fine. We've done much harder stuff than this before. Remember that time in third year when we saved Buckbeak and Sirius at the same time?"

"Yeah, and then we had to run and hide in the forest because Remus was trying to kill us," Hermione added sarcastically. They both laughed.

They spent the rest of the night reminiscing about all the good times and adventures they shared at Hogwarts.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Okay, there's still at least one chapter of planning, if not two, and then after that is the wedding.

Review please!
