Wedding Bells are Ringing
Prologue
A/N: Just thought I'd start another fic. In this one it will usually be one chapter for Hermione's point of view on an event leading up to the wedding and the next one from Ron's. But I thought I'd just establish Ron and Hermione's feelings for each other in this prologue. Hope you enjoy it. I dedicate this to my sister, Ms. Selly for introducing me to fan fic.
Disclaimer: Harry Potter I own not.
I guess I've always loved him. Ug. That sounds so horrid, just like one of those awful romance novels Parvati and Lavender are always reading. Not counting that it is completely false. The first time I met Ronald Weasley he was nothing more to me than a rather stubborn boy with dirt on his nose in the same train compartment as the famous Harry Potter. In fact, a little after that he even made me cry! I suppose my first inklings of feeling were when he and Harry saved me from the troll that fateful Halloween. But those were inklings of friendship. To tell the truth, I don't really know when I first developed a crush on him. Ah, well. That's not the important thing. The important thing is that in a month his brother is going to get married.
It still seems so unreal. One minute Fleur is an annoying French student who is capturing the attention of MY Ron. Well not really MY Ron, but anyway. The next, Phlegm is marrying Bill. How things change. When you think about it, most things have changed these past two years. Sirius died. Tonks fell for Lupin. Lupin fell for Tonks. I fell even more for Ron. Harry fell for Ginny. Ginny...well she was always into Harry, but now they really became friends. And got together. Dumbledore died. And maybe, maybe, just maybe Ron fell the teensiest bit for me. But not before getting involved with that sniveling little idiot Lavender Brown. Got what she deserved. Perhaps that's a bit harsh, but it is the way I feel.
Sometimes, I just can't understand how I could ever fall for Ron. He can be the most annoying prat in all the world. But he's my prat. That lopsided grin, those blue eyes, that red hair. The way he blushes. Although he does have the emotional range of a teaspoon. Sometimes I want to kill him. But obviously, I never have. Ginny often asks me how in the world could I spend so much time with Harry and Ron, but fall for her older brother, instead of the Boy-Who-Lived, who obviously has better qualities. To this I just shrug. Harry is a wonderful person, and I love him…as a friend. But Ron has something special.
Anyway, this morning Fleur (Phlegm, Ginny and I still call her) was all chummy with Mrs. Weasley. It's sickening. How can Mrs. Weasley like her? Yes, I know she wants to marry Bill, even with his, um, injuries, but still! All that time Mrs. Weasley disliked her…
They made a wonderful breakfast, anyway. Maybe that's one of the reasons I'm so bitter. I can't cook for beans. Then Lupin and Tonks dropped in. I'm happy to report that Tonks' hair was a dastardly shade of pink. Perhaps this has something to do with the way Lupin kept squeezing her hand. Lupin also looked younger, better somehow. You can tell Tonks is doing him a world of good. I'm so jealous of all of them! Tonks has Lupin. Bill has Fleur. Harry and Ginny are separated, but I've caught them holding hands on a number of occasions. Of course once I came into view they dropped each other's hands and stubbornly refused to admit to what they had been doing. And who does Hermione have? A stupid prat whom she is madly in love with, but whom can't seem to see that she likes him! It felt so good when Ron held me at Dumbledore's funeral. A tiny drop of happiness in a rainstorm of sadness.
Ah, Ginny's calling me. Probably wants to have another of those 'girl talks'. I really don't know what's so appealing about them, but…Duty calls.
Is it strange to have a crush on your sister-in-law? Well it's not like I can really help it. She has veela blood, after all! And it is not like I REALLY like her. I mean, she's no Hermione. Hermione, who still writes to Viktor Krum. That stupid, Bulgarian, famous, Quidditch playing oaf! Why did he have to like her! I mean to say, there are plenty of other girls at Hogwarts that are prettier than 'Mione. But I guess he could retort that I could have liked a girl prettier than Hermione. Like Lavender. And I did put on a show of liking Lavender. And she was a good kisser…But how could 'Mione have kissed Krum! I mean really.
Why do I like 'Mione…that's always been an interesting question. The more interesting question is how can Harry not like her! True, she's not gorgeous, but that bushy hair of hers has personality! And her eyes are rather nice, all brown and deep-looking…Not to mention she's smart! And talented and kind. Though sometimes she can't take a joke and gets all huffy and insults me…Which can be rather angering and sometimes I can't shake the feeling that she's nutters, but really the good overwhelms the bad. But there's no way she'd ever like me…
Mum and Fleur made a great breakfast this morning! Bacon and eggs and toast…Heaps of it! Of course with Harry and Hermione staying here, lots of the order always dropping in, and not to mention all the upcoming wedding guests stopping by they really had to make a big breakfast! Tonks and Lupin also stopped by. Tonks seems happier lately…maybe it had to do with her liking Lupin? They were holding hands…I dunno. I was really too busy eating to notice.
Hey! Hermione just walked past my room! Maybe I'll follow her and see what she's doing…
A/N: Did ya like it? Did it suck? Either way please review and tell me. If it's good I can keep it going and if it is bad then I can discontinue it. R&R!
