Draco felt a weight lift from his shoulders as he stood on the Zabini's front step and knocked on the door. Everything would be alright. His heart reminded him of the imagined kiss- and her admonishment to kiss her or let her go. He almost had kissed her, but he hadn't wanted to color her decision with her emotions. The possibility of actually having a loving relationship though... he shoved that excited little ferret back in its box. That was something to think about later. Right now he owed his best friend an apology.

Blaise opened the door with a cold look on his face,

"What do you want, Malfoy." he snapped.

"We're getting married." Hermione said before Draco could answer,

"What?" Blaise looked at Hermione,

"We're getting married." she said again

"When?"

Hermione looked at Draco "It's in our best interest if we do it before Adorabella realizes we're not giving him up." He said,

"So right now?" Blaise raised an eyebrow.

Hermione nodded once, and Draco took her hand "yes. Now."

"Ok, you got a plan?" Blaise crossed his arms over his chest and leaned on the doorframe,

"I need Harry and Ginny, they're out to lunch. We can split up and meet at the ministry."

"And we'll get MacReynolds and draw up the license and contract." Draco hadn't expected things to take this turn, but what had to be done had to be done.

"Alright then." Blaise leaned in the door, "Luna!" he shouted, "pack it up, we gotta go!"

"Go where?" she asked, coming to the door with Scorpius on her hip. He squealed "dada!" and Draco took his squirming son from Luna.

"They're getting hitched. Right now. Guys are getting MacReynolds, girls are getting the Potters. See you at the ministry in one hour! Don't be late." Blaise kissed his wife and pushed her toward Hermione. He snagged the diaper bag from the hall table then locked the house up.

"What are you ladies waiting for? We'll see you there."

Luna took Hermione's hand, "where are we going?"

"That bistro we went to week before last with Ginny." Luna nodded, and they apparated away.

When they got to the restaurant Hermione pulled her cellphone from her pocket and punched in Harry's number.

He picked up just before it went to voicemail,

"Hermione, what's up?"

"Harry- Luna and I are outside the restaurant, I'm getting married in an hour and I need you and Ginny."

"You're what?" Harry asked, his voice surprised, "what is it?" she heard Ginny's voice in the background

"I'm getting married in an hour and I need your help."

"She said she's getting married in an hour" Harry said to Ginny, then Ginny was on the phone

"Hermione!"

"We're outside Ginny."
"We're on our way." and the call ended. Within a minute Ginny was dashing out the door of the restaurant looking around for Hermione.

"There you are!" she said, wrapping Hermione in a hug, "I figured that you'd choose this, but I didn't think you'd do it today! Please tell me we have time for you to change. This suit is lovely, but you wear it all the time." Hermione checked her watch,

"We've got a bit more than 45 minutes before we have to be at the ministry." Harry walked out of the restaurant then,

"That's time enough." Ginny grabbed Hermione and Luna, but Hermione took Harry's arm,
