I hope you like this chapter! I thought I could add in some action for you!

- Liana's POV -

"WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING?"

Just like the other past 500,274,819,945 seconds, she is screaming.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME! I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST TO KNOW!"

The bomb is ticking about to explode.

"ALLIANA GAUNT SO HELP ME I WILL KILL YOU!"

Kaboom.

"What for?", play it simple. Play it nice. Good luck comes on the thrice.

"WHAT FOR? WHAT FOR!? FOR NOT TELLING ME IN PERSON! FOR GETTING FREAKING ENGAGED AND THEN SENDING IT IN AN EMOTIONLESS LETTER TO EVERYONE! NO, SPECIAL, 'HEY, GINNY LOOK I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING!' OR 'HEY, GINNY SORRY, I'D WAVE BUT MY HAND HURTS FROM THIS NEW RING I AM WEARING!', NONE OF THE CUTE OH MY GOSH IM GETTING MARRIED THINGS! NO! GINNY WEASLEY GETS A BLOODY 'I'M ENGAGED' IN A LETTER TO EVERYONE!" , it honestly takes everything I have to suppress the fits of giggles that are bound to happen and have escaped a little already. She has always been like this. Always so dramatic.

"Sorry, I would pat your shoulder but my hand hurts from this new ring I am wearing.", him and I both grinning and chuckling.

"Shut up, Malfoy. You don't even have one on yet.", correction. He does. I felt bad being the only one with an engagement ring, so I bought him one too. It is similar to mine but instead of a snake and a rose, it's a vine and a heart, because he has my heart. Cliché but it's reality in a ring.

I look at Draco grinning and he just shrugs. Neither one of us doubted this would happen but we still couldn't figure out how to stop, prevent, and control her. She can be fiercer than a hippogriff and scarier than a pink toad.

"Ginny, calm down. Okay? It's crazy enough as it is. I don't know if I can handle more.", she glares at me but finally gives and sighs.

"Very well.", then with her pointer finger in my face makes a deadly glare. "But I best be Maid of Honour!", suddenly, I feel the grin drop from my face. "What? Did you already ask someone else?", I gulp and look at Draco who is pretending to be as interested in whistling the school theme song as he is with the other wall of the room. "Who is it? Luna Lovegood? Pansy Parkinson? You have been hanging out with them a lot lately.", I look at her and smile a thin one.

"Neither. I am not having a Maid of Honour.", she looks at me confused and puts her finger down.

"What?", her expression is both hurt and in confusion.

"I am having a Matron of Honour.", immediately she pales, and looks at me strangely.

"M-m-matron of honour?", I look at Draco and he winks at me before I look at her again.

"
I put my hands on my hips and do my best Molly look. "Ginevra Weasley,  you are here by found guilty of not only with holding an engagement from everyone, but the fact that you secretly married Harry Potter  last week"

Now, that the smoke from the bomb has cleared, it's time to asses the damages.

A pink - no, red - face.

Wide eyes.

1 snickering fiancé about to burst into laughter.

A Gryffindor sneaking away in the background.

And-

"HARRY JAMES POTTER! YOU TOLD THEM DIDN'T YOU?", ah yes. Ginny marching after that Gryffindor. Only smiling, when you would expect anger. Draco and I are full on laughing now.

I smile and turn to Draco. At the same time - almost rehearsed, we say, "Just like her mother".  As I am giggling at the retreating footsteps of Harry and Ginny, Draco walks closer to me.

"You know how much I love you?", he raises an eyebrow and spreads his arms open as if to say, "See this?". Then looks me dead in the eye with a serious smile - arms still open - and says, "I love you more than the amount of magic in this castle. More than the amount of blocks holding it up. I love you more than any number ever thought of. Did you know that?", he tilts his head a bit squinting with raised eyebrows, studying my expression, while I study his too.

"I-", my sentence doesn't get to finish. Before I have the chance he is blown against the wall. "DRACO!", I start to run to him but the spell castor sends one to me wrapping me in ropes. Rats, it's the struggle kind. The more I struggle, the more they tighten. What do I do?

"Oh my, oh my. Look at what we have here?", our attacker giggles and walks into view. The first thing I see is their - or should I say, her, shoes. They are black with pointy tips. covering dark tights. That's as high as I can see though. This bind has limited my view. I can see the blown up wall and that's it. Not even Draco. Draco. Is he okay? Is he alive?

"Draco?", I try to call out to him but the attacker doesn't approve.

"Trying to talk to my son now are we? Oh no, no, no. I think not. How about a little...silencio. Ah, that's better. Isn't it darling?", I don't respond. However, another voice does.

"Oh, yes Cissy!", I squint a bit at a blurry figure walking into my view only to see a hooded figure. "Who would want to hear her wretched voice anyways?"

Narcissa chuckles and starts walking. Is she just going to leave Draco, and I here? What's the point in all of this? Is this just some scare tactic? I struggle to find answers, only to end up being lifted by the cloaked figure. I try to get out of his grasp, but the ropes tighten and I have to gasp for air.

"LIANA!", that voice...Draco? No, his voice is not so deep. "LIANA!", Neville. It's Neville.

"Oh, no. We can't have our plans ruined by an old hero. No, let's go now. You know what to do.", she disappears and I notice the figure casting some dark charms before doing so himself.

"Goo'night, mudblood" In a matter of seconds, a peacefulness comes over me and my eyes close, causing me to grow tired. Why should I not be? I just got through sharing my engagement with Ginny. Then...then what happened?
