It was only a day away until Harry and Daphne were getting married. Part of her was actually excited because it was her wedding that she and her mother planned and that she had been waiting for since she was just a little girl. But the other part was still overly upset about being forced into the marriage. The good thing, however, is that Harry wasn't such a bad bloke. Not if he sent her ice cream and flowers as an apologly for whatever he was apologizing for. She didn't mind because that just meant he was able to come over and spend more time with her. That's kind of what they needed to do, spend time together. They had to get to know each other more and get used to being around each other.

As it was late and after work, Daphne was already out of her clothing and into her pajamas, shorts and an old long sleeve shirt she had stopped wearing due to wear and tear over the years. It was suitable enough for bed, and since that's all Daphne had on her agenda before Harry had owled her, thats what she was clothed in. The ice cream sat on her coffee table, the two spoons sitting next to it as she waited on her couch. She was sort of tired from the day she had had at work, once more trying to explain to her boss why Mr. McNanamey's portkey was missing. It wasn't her fault she couldn't concentrate on making them the other day. Her wedding was plaguing her mind.

Just as that thought once again entered her mind, a knock was heard at the door, surely enough to be Harry. Daphne smirked and stood, walking over to the door to unlock it and open it. "Took you long enough," she said playfully, opening it wider for him and stepping aside to let him in before she would close the door behind him.

Despite knowing that it would be a hard sell to get Daphne and Ginny any closer together then they already were...which wasn't close at all, he still had the sense that things would work out. The Weasley's were really the only family he had. He had a difficult time believing that someone wouldn't like them, which would explain why he'd always been so hostile toward Malfoy whenever he insulted them.

He chuckled lightly at her comment, distracted from the hissed tone of her first comment. "Ginny and I are close, but I don't think you have to worry about that. We both have our own ... circumstances to deal with and a side romance isn't exactly something that can be penciled in. I'm afraid you're stuck with me for good."

Daphne smirked at his words and sighed contently. "And I'm afraid I might just want to be stuck with you for good," she said, biting the inside of her lip. This was all happening very quickly. What should have taken months took only a week to prepare, regardless of the amount of people invited.

Everything would work out, Daphne was pretty sure of that. Because really, what wouldn't work out? Daphne had resigned to this, Harry had resigned and the only person who was extraordinarily unhappy was Daphne's mother. Her brothers would get over it eventually, as they were brothers. And hell, maybe they'd even learn how to accept people for once. "We'll be fine."

Harry turned his head back toward her, a smirk showing clearly on his lips. "Have my ears deceived me?" he asked, his amusement showing through. "Daphne Greengrass, self proclaimed best being', who actually told me not to come anywhere near her, wants to be stuck with me? How ever did this come about?"

He knew, eventually that they'd reach fine, but until the wedding was over, he wouldn't be able to shake the nerves. It was just something that he was going to have to live with for a bit longer. "I hope so, though I do recall a certain superstition that stated the groom isn't suppose to see the bride the night before the wedding because it's bad luck." he responded, a light laugh escaping him. "Looks like we blew that tradition out of the water."

"Let it soak in, Potter. That might be the nicest thing you hear from me for a while," she joked, pulling her legs up underneath her to get more comfortable. "You're just lucky you're a decent bloke or I would have kicked you to the curb by now."

Daphne could easily understand where he was coming from. She was slightly nervous, but also excited. Who cared if they weren't madly in love with each other? They could create this whole interesting life. Well, maybe now she was just getting ahead of herself there. "Who needs superstition? We're stuck with each other regardless of tradition. I think any silly wedding day faux pa's are a little false by this time."

"A decent bloke, huh? Wow. Two compliments in a row." He chuckled, nudging her with the knee closest to him and teasing her lightly. "It must be my lucky day. I didn't know such a thing was even possible."

"I suppose a plus for superstition would be that it makes life a little more interesting, but I suppose in our situation, if life gets any more interesting we'd be dead." he responded, with a small shrug. "Personally, I'm tired of interesting. I'll be perfectly happy once it calms back down a bit."

"Two is probably all you'll get for the rest of our time together," she said with a grin, nudging him back. This was nice, just staying up and talking like this. She supposed with their work schedules and family life, after they were married, things wouldn't be so care free.

"I like interesting. It keeps me busy. Anything ordinary is just too boring." However, interesting was one thing, completely nutters was a totally different thing and thats what the Ministry had introduced with the marriage decree. Insanity. "I'll be happy once its all over and people can just stop bloody whining already. I did and it's gotten me thus far," she said with a grin as she looked at him.
