'Look Hermione' Ginny walked over to me. 'Neither of us wants to go to this, but we have to so I think we should go shopping'. 'You think we should go shopping?' I say confused.

'We are gonna be there for 2 months 'Mione! We might as well have some nice clothes that make us look good!!. Mum!' Ginny called 'Hermione and I are going to London!'

'Now?' Mrs.Weasley came into the sitting room. 'Yes!' Ginny exclaimed 'We're going shopping!'.

'Alright, Come home before 5 though, I'll have dinner ready.' She walked out of the room. 'Thanks, Mum!' Ginny got up 'Come with me' She said. 

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

'Draco darling!' Mother was calling me. Bet she wants to talk about wedding planning. I'm so fed up with this. I walk downstairs and see her talking to Rory her house elf. 'Thank You Rory' I heard her say before he vanished.

'Ah Draco' I sit down at the table. 'What did you want Mother?'. 'I wanted to give you the list of people coming. I know you know some of them but the Minister added a few.' She handed me the list and I started to read it. 

'Granger' I say without thinking. 'Yes the Minister added her and Mrs.Weasley' I knew they wouldn't want to do it. They wouldn't last a week. 'Okay' I mumble. Still reading the list.

'But Draco, the past doesn't matter. You need to be nice to everyone who comes'. Mother knew I didn't want them to come. This was NOT gonna be fun.

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

'omg!' Ginny ran over with a dress for me. 'This would look soo good on you!'. 'I don't think so Ginny, It's not really my style' I took the dress off her 'It is pretty though'.

The dress was navy blue. There were small gaps at each waist the cut out into lace and a small bit of lace at the top.

'Oh come on Hermione! Buy the dress' Ginny also had a few dresses she wanted to buy. 'Okay okay fine' I gave in, I actually love the dress, I just don't think it will suit me.

'Yesss' Ginny and I walked over to the counter and bought all our clothes. 'How about we go get some coffee?' Ginny said. 'Yeah ok' We walked over to the nearest cafe and ordered coffee.

'So, How do you think it's gonna go?' She asked. 'I really don't know' To be honest I didn't think It would go well. Draco Malfoy is an ex-death eater! 

'Yeah, me either' She sips her coffee 'I just hope we don't have to stay since we're both in relationships'.

'Yeah, Although yours and Harrys is more serious than me and Rons' I didn't really know about Ron and me anymore. 'Well maybe' She says 'But you two are still together right?'.

'Yeah we are but, I don't really think we're right together anymore' I still loved Ron but I think it's more of just a friend thing. 'Are you serious?' Ginny looks upset 'Are you gonna break up with him?'. 'I don't know yet. I just think it's been sort of awkward or something, It's just not right anymore' I answer.

'Yeah well, he did kiss another girl!' Ginny gets up 'I think we should probably get back now, It's almost 5'. 'Yeah come on let's go'.

We get home. 'Gin, I'm going to find Ron.' 'Ok, Don't worry about it' Ginny walks off to find Harry. While I walk off to find Ron. 

'Ron!' I find him in his bedroom, I go and sit next to him on the bed. 'Hey 'Mione. How was your day with Ginny?' He asks. I feel bad. How could I break up with him? 'Great, We got some nice things' I answer. Come on Hermione Get to it. 'Ron.' 'Yeah' He looks at me. 'I need to talk to you about something'.

'What's up?'. 'You know I love you Ron' i start. 'Oh god' I think he knows what's coming. 'I think that we should spend some time apart' Ohmy I did it. 'What? why? I thought it was going ok.' He looks upset. ' i know Ron and it was until you kissed that girl and we broke up'

'Oh, Well I don't like it but i guess If your not happy We shouldn't be together' He leaves the room. I felt really bad. I knew it would hurt his feelings but I didn't want to hurt him.
