Harry and Ginny were currently deciding on which invitations to send out, as their wedding was a little over a month away...they hadn't told anyone that they had already chose a date. They wanted the invitations to be a surprise.
Of course Molly did know, but she was the only one since they were getting married at the burrow.
When they told her she screamed and immediately began planning everything.
This was her only daughter so it had to be absolutely perfect. Sure, she had a few other sons get married...but they weren't her only daughter. This was a bit more special to her.
"Honestly Gin...do the invitations matter that much? Can't we just go with this one?" Harry begs, picking up a random invitation
"No. I don't like that one. And you're Harry Potter...everyone is going to be paying attention to our wedding so it has to be beyond perfect. You just had to be the chosen one didn't you?" She sighs, giving the invitations another once over before picking two to choose between
Holding them up, she asks Harry which he likes better, which I turn causes him to point to a random one...Ginny like the other one better.
"Sorry, Harry. We're going with this one. I'll duplicate these and take them to the Owlry for them to be sent out. We're about to get a bunch of letters back in the next few days." Ginny smiles, throwing the other invitations away before duplicating the invitation by about forty.

Meanwhile Harry and Ginny were choosing their invitations, Luna and Blaise were busy choosing a date.
Blaise was pretty much agreeing with everything Luna said. He had learned it was best just to let her daydream about whatever she wanted, rather than telling her something wasn't a good idea. It was easier and didn't cause any arguments.
"I think we should choose sometime in April. April is a good month. Nothing too terrible has ever happened in April, and the stars are content during early April so we should either do the third or the tenth. What do you think, Blaise?" She asks him, causing him to snap out of his daze...he had stopped listening twenty minutes ago.
He would be a great husband.
"Whatever you think, dear." He smiles, having no idea what she was asking
Shrugging she pulls out a coin and flips it
"Looks like we'll be getting married on April third! How does that sound to you?"
"It sounded wonderful, Luna. What time would be good?" He asks
"Probably four o'clock. That's usually when the wrackspurts are taking their daily naps so we should be safe from them confusing any of our guests. I'll also make sure to have Dirigible Plums in the flowers to keep away the nargles. It'd be quite horrible if they stole our rings. We'll also have plenty of butter beer..." Luna continues, causing Blaise to fall back into his daze once again
At least he knew when they were getting married.

In the coming days, everyone had received Ginny and Harry's wedding invitation. Which began to cause lots of talk all over the castle and Daily Prophet.
They were apparently the first ones getting married. Which everyone had expected anyway.
With the news of their wedding date, Pansy was fluttering about thinking about her wedding and her future with Ron. They had decided to get married in late April. But they hadn't discussed anything to do with their future.
So Pansy was running around the castle in search of her Fiancé, dying to talk about what the future held for them.
Finally, she runs into Harry who tells her that Ron is in the common room.
With his location in mind, Pansy runs to their common room and pulls Ron into their room.
"What's this about? I thought you wanted to wait till we were married?" He says
"I'm flexible. Let me just put a concealment charm and then we can-"
"Ron. I don't want to have sex. I want to discuss our future plans." She says, rolling her eyes
"Oh...oops. Sorry Pans. Like what?" He asks confused
She then explains that she wants to talk about where they would be living when they left Hogwarts, what jobs they each planned on pursuing and how many kids they each wanted.
They talk for hours about what they will do before deciding to find a home in Winchester. They learn that Ron wants to begin his Auror training and Pansy wants to work in fashion.
"How many kids do you want? I'm not having more than three Ron Weasley. I know you come from a big family but I can not deal with more than three of our clones. That'd just be torture." She says
"Trust me. I've never wanted more than two. I know what it's like coming from a big family...always getting overshadowed by your other siblings. It sucked. So two or three?" He asks for reassurance
"Two or three is perfect. What would be even more perfect is if we could one of each." She sighs in contentment
No matter how horrid they thought this law was, they couldn't deny that they were absolutely buzzing to get married and start their lives together.
Pansy used to hate kids...but now she had baby fever and couldn't wait for them to get married and begin having little ones.
She would happily start now if she hadn't promised her mother she would save herself.
Her mother always knew when she was lying too.

All of the other students who were of age were also choosing their wedding dates and discussing their future plans with their future spouses and families.
Everyone seemed to be cooperating now that Alexandra was leaving and believe it or not...everyone seemed quite happy about their futures.
Completely different views from how they started at the beginning of the year.
With the NEWTS and a bunch of weddings coming up, everyone was extremely busy either studying for their tests or planning their weddings. It made for quite an interesting atmosphere in Hogwarts.
All the girls had begun searching for their wedding dresses at the new boutique in Hogsmeade.
Ginny had taken off from studying today to find hers. She had been to the shop a few times before but had come up empty handed. She was determined to find the dress today. No matter how long it took, she would stay there all night if that's what it took.
Together with the shop attendant, they pulled five dresses Ginny had not yet tried on yet and began the process once again.
This had to be dress number thirty she had tried on.
Yet again...this wasn't it.
This went on for two hours.
Dress after dress after dress.
She tried on all sorts of dresses, long lacy dresses to big poofy dresses to pink and blue dresses to extremely plain dresses. Yet she had found nothing.
"Miss Weasley...I know you're feeling quite knackered and defeated...but I just found three new dresses I think you might like. Come with me. I have a good feeling about these!" The shop attendant, whose name was Emalee, said, gesturing for Ginny to follow her
"Close your eyes. I'll help you into it but I really love these three and I want a genuine reaction." Emalee says, pulling the first dress and helping Ginny into it
Thirty minutes later, Ginny has tried the three dresses on and knew her wedding dress was one of these three but she simply couldn't choose which...she would need Hermione and Pansy's input on this. Emalee loved them all and couldn't choose either. This called for the big guns.
An hour later the four girls were all sitting in the shop, staring at the three dresses.
"Go put the first two on. I wanna see them on again." Pansy orders, pushing Ginny into the dressing room
For the thousandth time, she exits the dressing room in the gown, asking for their opinions on it.
This dress had thin straps and a straight neckline and then flowed out into an A-line with a lace underskirt
After muttering a few comments, Ginny heads back into the dressing room and climbs into the second dress.
This dress had a sweetheart neckline with cap sleeves and a floaty a-line skirt.
"That one. Definitely. It fits you better." Hermione says as she walks out
"I one hundred percent agree. I think it's the sleeves. You look lovely." Pansy smiles
"Thank goodness you called for backup, otherwise we would be here for even longer. I'll ring you up then?" Emalee asks
"Thank you Emalee! You'll be seeing us again soon when these two are shopping for their dresses!" Ginny smiles, walking back into the dressing room, happy with what they had chosen
She knew this was the dress immediately when she tried it on but had just wanted to make sure others felt the same way.
She couldn't wait to become Ginny Potter.
