Disclaimer: I do not own any of these charming and entrancing characters, but I do own the romantic interludes they will be put through.

Chapter 1

Bill and Fleur's Wedding
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny sat together in the second row. The decor was elegant, yet simple. Theirs was a small wedding, just for close family and friends.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Bill took Fleur in his arms and kissed her passionately on the lips as the guests clapped. Ginny and Hermione barely held back their tears as the newlyweds ran hand in hand back down the aisle.

The Reception
Hermione and Ginny sat in the corner whispering. Hermione was crumpling a napkin in her hands.

"I thought he'd treat me better now," Hermione said, trying not to let the gathering tears fall. "I thought he liked me."

"Ron's just-" Ginny started, but was unable to find the word to describe exactly what Ron was. "Forget about it. We just need to have a good time while we still can." She glanced at Harry and sighed.

"Hermione, I don't see why he broke things off with me. I mean, I'll be in danger no matter what, so shouldn't we at least be able to have some happiness with each other?"

"Oh, Harry? Of course you should." Her mood changing quickly, Hermione threw the wadded napkin on the floor in a huff. "Why do boys have to be so stupid?"

"Herms, if you, the smartest witch I've ever known, can't figure it out, what chance is there for the rest of us."

"What can't Hermione figure out?" Tonks asked, appearing out of nowhere.

"Male troubles," Ginny replied.

"Oh, I see," Tonks said. Glancing over at Harry and Ron, Tonks gave the girls some advice. "The problem with men," she said, "is that they think their troubles are entirely up to them to deal with. They don't realize how much they need us." Tonks smiled, thinking of Remus. Then, she beckoned them closer. In hushed tones she said "I suggest you show them exactly how much they need you...and want you."

Surprised, Hermione looked up. "What do you mean?"

Tonks chuckled. "Snog them senseless. They'll soon learn that they can't live without you." And with that, Tonks left the girls to puzzle over what she told them. Soon, Ginny looked at Hermione with a mischievous gleam in her eye.

"I think I have an idea. Come on."

Please R&R! And don't worry, it's rated for a reason but that comes later.
