**************************************
Ginny stalked into her office muttering about wishing Monday started a bit later. Normally she would confirm with Hermione on the Sunday around lunch time the opening schedule for the new week. Strangely, she had not heard from Hermione all weekend after seeing her off for her date Friday night.
“I hope it went really well for her,” Ginny thought to herself as she placed her Café Bombon carefully on her desk before shrugging out of her robes and waving them away to the coat rack that stood beside the office door.
After arraging her bag and other work items on her desk to her satisfaction, Ginny finally sat down and pulled her office chair closer to her desk. She was excited for this week - her plans for the launch party were finalised and everything was coming together smoothly.
Now if only Hermione would arrive so that she could dazzle her into agreeing to bringing her new partner. It would play perfectly into the final part of her plan - her intention was to have Severus also arrive on the arms of a beautiful witch, and for the two to get caught up somewhere alone where they would naturally argue over the inappropriateness of the other's date and wind up locking lips as a way to end the argument.
Ginny was convinced it was foolproof and smiled to herself as she settled down to work. Damn, where on earth was Hermione? There were meetings to hold with staff and suppliers this morning, the final budgets for both the party and the new bottling to arrange not to mention they needed to chat about what they would wear and decide on a music combo as well.
Ginny found her foot tapping to a tune in her head that she had heard on the Wizard Wireless only that morning while getting dressed. She loved a good party, and this one had the added benefit of her seeing her friend hopefully on her way to a happy ending too!
Speaking of, Ginny sat back in her chair and smiled a quiet secret smile. Honestly, she didn't mean to pry and poke into other's business. She really did just want her best friend to be as happy as she was. Hermione had worked hard all her life in the wizarding world and she really deserved to be happy, to feel the contented pull of love.
At the very least, it would mean a slightly less demanding work schedule for all of them. Ginny grinned at this last thought. The irony was not lost on her that this last bout was all her own doing. She only hoped that Hermione's determination to achieve everything perfectly was not rubbing off on her. The thought made her giggle which was interrupted by the swooshing sound of the Floo Call. It was Harry.
"Oh good! you are here Ginny! Harry said with a goofy smile. Gosh he loved her! She filled his heart with a sense of loved belonging and his life with a sense of peace and tranquility that he had never before had the priviledge of knowing. Of course, it also helped that she was gorgeous!
He smirked at her sexily now before continuing. "Ginny, I know you are determined to continue with your madcap plan for the party," he paused briefly before continuing, "but are you absolutely sure that you want to go through with this particular part?" He looked down briefly and Ginny * knew that he was re-reading the notes she had left him with this morning before leaving.
They detailed the part she wanted Harry to play. It would be his job to manouver Severus and Hermione into the same space and she had worked all day Saturday, papers strewn about the lounge and kitchen of their home to finalise the details.
Harry didn’t want to admit that had he not known the entire truth behind the how, he would have been highly impressed with what Ginny had pulled off thus far. He hoped that she wouldn’t take the revenge part of Hermione and Severus’ plan too seriously, although he had to wonder how serious they were about that. Every time he had tried to contact either of them over the weekend to fine tune their plan, neither had been available.
Most odd. He dismissed it with a shrug. Right now staying on Ginny’s good side seemed best – her odd behaviour had gotten more erratic lately and the main advice he had remembered from his bachelor party had been to “keep your witch happy, Harry!” This had come from no fewer than 5 happily married wizards and he intended to do just that.
Ginny interrupted his reverie to answer him, “Yes my love! Once you get them both into the room with me, I excuse myself to deal with something for the party and you will seal the door. It will only be for about thirty minutes or so.”
Harry rolled his eyes and sighed, “And after that we can let them out and you will accept whatever outcome is then presented?” He pressed his wife for a firm answer, fully intending to hold her to her word now.
Ginny nodded. They had argued over this same point all of yesterday evening before she had managed to distract him with a slip of her oversized jersey down her naked shoulder and a chase around the house that had ended in their bedroom. Well, on the stairs leading up to their bedroom at any rate. “As I said to you yesterday evening,” she paused here to watch Harry blush through the floo – she loved seeing his coy side, “I will let them out myself once it’s all over.”
Harry shook his head, determined not to be swayed this time. “No Ginny, 30 minutes. That’s the deal. I intend on placing the Tempus charm on the room seal myself.”
Ginny gave in, knowing that 30 minute would be more than enough time to ensure they at least had a good old-fashioned snog fest.
“Okay fine! 30 minutes it is.”
They finished their conversation and Ginny went off to run the staff meeting that Hermione had still not arrived for.
Two separate staff meetings, three party supplier agreement signings and a customer complaint later, Ginny returned to the office, hungry, grumpy and slightly worried about Hermione. Not once since they had started their planning for the Spa had Hermione taken so much as an hour off without informing Ginny in minute detail of her whereabouts and reasons for missing work.
Ginny sat down with a sigh, hoping that her partner would arrive soon. She really wanted to get an early night before they went shipping tomorrow for party outfits. She knew she would need all her energy to convince Hermione to wear something less functional than she normally did.
Her attention fell to the envelope of parchment lying in the middle of her desk. It was thick and sealed with an unfamiliar seal.
Curiously, Ginny pulled it closer and opened it. Out came a slightly thinner envelope and a note that Ginny immediately recognised as being written by Hermione.
“Ginny, Herewith find all the signed contracts and agreements for the new line of potions and lotions. Severus and I have come to several mutually beneficial conclusions that should work in everyone’s favours.
You will notice another note for you to read after the contracts. Love H”
Ginny scanned the contracts, noting with pleasure that Hermione had indeed managed to get Severus to agree to most favourable terms. A frisson of excitement passed through her. All her hard work really was going to pay off – her very own product line! She giggled with glee and a not small sense of pride at her hard work.
AS she finished looking at the contracts, another small envelope fell into her hands. It contained only two pieces of luxurious parchment – one looked very formal and Ginny turned her attention to the smaller handwwritten note first.
“Ginny, I won’t be in for the next few days. I’m sure you will manage to pull everything together. Rest assured we will be at the launch party looking fabulous.
Thank you indeed for your sneakiness. Your potion plotting was pure genius.”
All our love and gratitude, H & S
PS – Never Better!”
Ginny grabbed the official paper again and looked at it properly. It was the official Ministry of Magic certificate announcing the marriage of Severus Tobias Snape to Hermione Jean Granger mere hours earlier that morning in a tiny town off the main coastal stretch of Italy.
Ginny grinned as she started to lock up for the evening. Certainly, Hermione deserved a few days off. Her plan had worked after all and she couldn’t wait to break the news to Harry.
It really was amazing what a day at the Spa could do for a girl.
