"Hullo." Krum smiled smugly down at Harry, his cold eyes glittering. "Vare is Herm-own-ninny? I guessed she vud be here." He said as he pushed in way in to the house, Harry too shocked and confused to stop him, closing the door behind him, he was about to stride in to the sitting room when Harry caught hold of his arm.

"Hold on a second." Harry started furiously. "How the hell do you know where I live?" He still hadn't put away his wand and Ron looked ready to blow his head off.

Suddenly the silence was filled by a sheik, "Viktor!" All eyes turned to Hermione who was standing, her face full of shock, in the doorway to the sitting room, Ginny standing slightly behind her, her hand resting on Hermione's shoulder as she looked curiously at her.

"You invited him?" Ron asked in a low voice. Hermione furiously started to shake her head terrified at the outburst that was sure to come. "You were sending letters to him secretly though weren't you? You've admitted that. And I guess you told him Harry was moving back here. Bloody hell Hermione!" He practically snarled the last bit. "Anybody could intercept those owls and you freely tell him where Harry lives, knowing that he is being hunted down?!"

Hermione's mouth opened and shut, like she was a fish drowning, as she tried to find words to say. Eventually she chose she ignore Ron's comments and turned to Viktor. "What are you doing here?" She asked in a furious whisper.

All this was going on and Harry, Ginny and the other guests could just stand there, clueless to it all. Harry still stood there speechless, his wand hanging limp in his hand, while Ginny racked her brains to find something smart to say to break the tension.

"Firewhiskey any..." She looked around, she was attracted strange glances. "...one." Ginny finished flatly, knowing that her brilliant plan to make everyone friends again was complete rubbish.

Thick silence filled the house, everyone was tense, except for Luna who just bobbed in the background dreamily, before saying, "I have to go now, thank you Ginny, Harry. Goodbye Ronald."

"Oh... Oh! Okay, goodbye Luna, hope to see you soo..." Ginny's voice died down in the distance as she hurriedly lead Luna to the kitchen fireplace, glad for something to do, and away from the building tension.

Ron still stood glaring angrily at Hermione and Krum. Hermione stood there just looking terrified, and Krum stood there with the smuggest smil, even Harry felt like punching it off his face, and he had no idea what was going on. "Guys..?" Harry began but Ron's fuse reached it's end.

"Hermione you said nothing was happening between you and..." Ron bellowed, and looking over at Krum, Ron looked like he swallowed something revolting. "Vicky! You said that you didn't keep in touch with him any more after what happened last time! How dare you! And to top it all off, you freely tell him where Harry and Ginny live, well that's just great. I'm done Hermione, I'm done..." Ron fumed and stormed out the house, the door crashed shut, followed by a 'pop' which signalled his Appartion.

Ginny who has just come quietly back in the room rushed over to a now crumpled Hermione, who was crying uncontrollably. Ginny led her over to the stairs, and sat her down, with her arm around her shoulder.

"I see this vas not a gut time, I vill come see vu another time?" Krum asked, as if he was just asking about the weather.

"P*** off! I told you to leave me alone! Look what you did!" Screamed Hermione at the top of her lungs, causing Ginny to wince back.

"Fine, tell me ven vu are feeling better." Krum said cheerily, dodging a vase that Hermione had grabbed, blind with anger, and thrown at him. He darted out of the house, and the other party guests followed his example until only Harry, Ginny and Hermione were left.

"Hermione?" Ginny tested as she thought Hermione was beginning to settle down. Harry wished he could just leave, he was never good at this sort of thing. "What happened?" At this Hermione let out another howl of sadness and started hysterically crying again.

"You know when..." Hermione sniffed and hiccoughed when she collected herself. "When Ron and I broke up, before Harry got..." She looked up at Harry, she knew that Harry and Ginny understood, and Harry nodded kindly. "Well... it was because..." She continued after gulping. "It was because I had an affair with Viktor!" Hermione broke down in to a new set of tears.

"Nothing happened!" Hermione screamed. "We continued to write to each other after the Triwizard Competition and things got a bit... things went a bit too far. We arranged to meet up, he came all the way to England, but I couldn't do... I wouldn't! I admitted it to Ron, feeling guilty, that was then he stayed as yours... I still wrote to Viktor, but less often, in the last letter I told him about you moving, I'm so sorry Harry!" Another new set of tears.

"Then he started up again, he wanted to get together again, but I told him no, he came back to England then, and started following me, I told him to leave me alone, and this was the first time I saw him since!" She cried in to Ginny's shoulder who patted her back gently, shell-shocked.

"Erm.. Hermione do you want to stay here?" Ginny asked nervously. She didn't know who to stick up for - her brother or her best friend. But Hermione just shook her head.

"No, no. I should try and sort things out. Thanks Ginny." She stood up shakily and gave Ginny a tight hug, before giving Harry the same. "Thank you." With that she dashed out the house and Apparted.

Silence filled the hall once again. "Well that was..." Harry said.

"Yeah..." Ginny whispered confused. She was still getting her bearings.

They found themselves in each others arms, a tear rolling down Ginny's face. She rested her cheek on Harry's chest and sighed. At the same time they both whispered...

"I love you."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, not my best but shhh... It is all kinda of important later. Still having a faint mentally block here.

Time seemed to fly by. Two months had past since the housewarming party, Ron and Hermione had started to patch things up again after a lot of shouting, swearing, crying and time-outs issued by Harry and Ginny, who sadly were caught in the middle of it as Ron was now living with them again. None of them had heard from Krum, and none of the Order had heard from Lord Secutus, but the best of all, only two months until Harry and Ginny would offically be man and wife.

It was a Saturday afternoon and Ginny was frantically looking through Brides - How to Charm your Husband magazine with Hermione and Luna, who was on a break from Africa until after the wedding, her bridesmaids along with Gabrielle. Harry sighed but chose to ignore it, knowing from past experience that trying to tell Ginny that it was too early to be looking at those kind of things, was a one way trip to St. Mungo's.

He waved his wand lazily at the teapot deciding it was time to start dinner when Ginny almost screamed, "These shoes are perfect!" This caused the girls so start laughing the themselves when Harry looked on helplessly, he couldn't control himself.

From behind his newspaper he muttered, "Don't you think it's a bit early to be looking in those? You're acting like Fleur before her wedding..." He bit his tongue the moment the words escaped.

"Well excuse me for wanting to look good on my wedding day! I don't think that is Fleur-ish." Ginny pouted.

"I'll make tea then." Said Harry hurriedly getting up from the table and went over to the pot. "Mac and cheese?" Asked Harry knowing it was Ginny's favourite, even though he despised it himself.

"Alright..." Replied Ginny carefully. "But if call me Fle..." But she was interrupted by a sudden bang coming from the living room. At once the four had their wands out and stealthily made their way silently through the house, only to find Mr Weasley standing in front of the fireplace, covered with soot, obviously just Flooed in.

"Geeze dad! Tell us next time if you want to visit, you gave us a heart attack!" Ginny snapped as she pocketed her wand.

Mr Weasley, currently brushing himself down, looked up a his daughter's sharp tone. He winked at Harry. "Pre-Bride Anxiety, huh?" Harry couldn't help laughing as Ginny snapped back at him, after a while Harry decided to save him.

"Alright, alright Gin." Harry laughed as he put his arms round her waist from behind. "So... what are you doing here?" Harry asked nervously, not bad news he hoped? What if something happened to Ron when he was out, he never let Ginny go anyway by herself any more except work, so why did he let Ron?

Reading Harry's expression Mr Weasley chuckled. "Nothing to worry about m'boy. Just some people wanted to see you, I just wanted to warn you in advance." Now it was Mr Weasley's turn to become nervous.

"Warn me?" Harry asked suspiciously, "Why would you want to warn me, who are they?"

Mr Weasley, who was preforming his favourite tactic - look everywhere, except the person you're talking to - looked up at this, "It's..." But he was distracted by a sudden blue glow, they all watched as a kettle, which interested Mr Weasley very much, formed, glowing blue, followed by three people hanging on to it.

The room filled with silence as the visitors came in to focus. Harry rubbed his glasses before stuttering.

"Aunt Petunia? Uncle Vernon? Dudley?!"

whoa!The dursleys!i'm shocked!anywayz loved it all till here!waiting for more..............

The room filled with tense silence, Aunt Petunia stepped forward slightly and stuttered, Harry was amazing to see her eyes wet. "Harry, I... we just wanted to say, we are so sorry for what happened when you lived with us, I was... jealous of my little sister, I know it was stupid, and I am truly sorry, and I am so proud of you. We are. Aren't we?" Dudley stepped forward with his mum, smiled weakly and nodded his head. "Vernon!" Aunt Petunia hissed under her breath.

"Oh, yeah, sorry boy..." He received a sharp glance from Aunt Petunia. "Harry!" Uncle Vernon stuttered, cleared his throat and looked down again.

"Erm..." Began Aunt Petunia again, eager to break the silence. "We heard that you were getting married Harry from Mr Weasley here." She smiled, and Mr Weasley looked down at his shuffling feet.

"Er... yeah I am." Harry muttered embarrassed, still not sure quite believing that his former life was standing in his living room.

"Can we come?" Aunt Petunia suddenly asked. She looked so desperate to patch things up, her eyes still glittering with unshed tears. Harry scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, he didn't know what to say, didn't know how to react, lucky for him, Ginny did that for him.

"Of course you can come Mrs Dursley. I'm Ginny, Harry's fiancé." She chirped as she stood forward and shook hands with Petunia.

"Ginny... fiance... oh! Congratulations, I didn't realise... you can call me Petunia dear." Petunia stuttered happily as she gave Ginny a rib cracking hug. "Are you sure we can come?"

Ginny looked back to Harry, Aunt Petunia following his gaze. It was time for Harry to decide, slowly he nodded his head, causing the silent tense room to brake in to happy and excited conversation.

Dudley came over to Harry and shook his hand vigorously. "So you got a best man?" Dudley asked hopefully, but this was too much for Harry, he wouldn't dare let Dudley be his nest man after all the noogies, wedgies and wet Willies, forgiveness only goes so far.

"Actually yeah, Ron Weasley, Gin's brother." Harry mumbled quickly. "Actually he should turn up any minute."

But he never did.

whoa!you seemed to move on really quick!*not that i am complaining though*
loves your chapter*pams*
*gets tensed for ron*

Ohh! Wow so many post so little time to comment on them! LOL. Love the posts, you're such a great writer. Krum needs to leave and stay gone, I never really liked him in the first place, lol. Ron and Hermione needs to get back together, or better yeat, Hermione and Draco, hehehe. THE DURSLEYS???!!!! Sooo, wasn't expecting that, but yay, they are going to the wedding and Dudley wants to be best man, sorry Duds, but I have to agree with Harry, forgiveness only goes so far.

And where's Ron, what's going on? oh where, oh where had my little Ronniekins gone, oh where oh where could he be?

Okay I'm good, PAMS!!!

OMG!! Love it!!! I'm glad that Ginny was able to allow the Dursleys to come to the wedding but I think it was a good idea for Dudley not to be Best Man, I meant what has he ever done for Harry???
