The week went by in the blink of an eye, she was soon faced with the fact that tomorrow she would be marrying Lucius. Friday was spent in a hurricane of chores, making sure everything was ready and prepared for tomorrow. Ivy was frantically pacing back and forth in the Ball Room as she was pointing where she wanted certain things and how she wanted them.

Lucius came up behind her and put his hand on her waist, "Lucius not now, I need to finish this" she tried to shimmy out of his grasp. He only pulled her tighter to him, she looked up at him. "Kitten you need to settle down, here have some water and take a deep breath" he said handing her a glass of water.

She took a few sips of the water and took a deep breath, "I just want everything to be perfect for tomorrow" she explained. "And it will be, this is why we hired the planner. So you wouldn't be like this, I am leaving for Severus's place and the girls should be here shortly. Promise me you will relax and enjoy tonight." He said staring down at her. "Ok, I promise" she batted her eyes up at him. "That's my good girl" he said placing a kiss on the center of her forehead.

"I'll see you tomorrow" she smiled. "I'll be waiting at the end of the aisle for you," he assured her. "I love you" she hummed softly. "And I love you. Remember relax and enjoy yourself" he ordered before walking away.

They had agreed to go without sex, or kissing for the entire week leading up to the wedding. It had been the longest week of her life, she knew Lucius had struggled as well but they did it. Tomorrow she would get to kiss him, but this time he would be her husband and then they would consummate the marriage that evening.

She finally left the ballroom to go get ready for the girls night they were having. They had planned on not doing a big bachelorette party and just have drinks and food at the manor so she wouldn't be exhausted for the big day. She had gotten all the girls matching pjs and a white set for herself. She went and laid them out on each of the beds they would be staying in.

Shortly after she set the guest rooms up, the girls arrived. Each of them had their dress bags and other bags in hand. Molly had stored Ivy's gown at the burrow because she did not want to chance Lucius seeing it. "There's the bride to be!" molly beamed happily. Ivy smiled, "I can't believe the day is finally here, I marry Lucius tomorrow" she said excitedly.

"Cant wait to see you walk down that aisle Lucius is going to loose his mind. The make up and hair ladies will be here at 9 to start getting us ready. So we need to be up by no later than 7:30, 8ish" Hermione said. Ivy had left Hermione in charge of getting a hair and make up artist because Ivy had too much on her plate. "You are a literal life saver Hermione thank you" Ivy sighed in relief. "Of course Ivy! Anything to make your special day a little less stressful" she replied.

"We have a fun relaxing evening planned, you said you didn't want to do anything too extravagant so just some drinks, pampering, doing our nails, and take out pizza" Ginny said placing her gown down over the back of the couch and reached into her bag pulling out some fire whiskey and spiked pumpkin juice. Molly eyes Ginny who looked guilty for a moment then flashed her a smile, "George got it for me!" Ginny quickly said. Molly shook her head and sighed.

Ivy showed everyone their rooms, Ginny and Hermione shared a room, Molly had her own and so so did Fleur. Once the ladies got settled in and in their matching pajamas they regrouped in the dining room for some pizza and drinks. They sat around the large wooden table eating pizza and talking.
