This my entry for the Harry Potter Fanfiction Festival challenge "Diary Prompt" - this is what I came up with. I'm not sure I am happy with it but this it what came out of my noggin :) For you true blue Hermione/Ron shippers you may not like this. But what can I say never really saw them as being compatible, but each to their own :) I hope you like. This is my first Hermione/Ron fic...
DIARY ENTRY 278
I am getting married today, in five hours, twenty-three minutes and forty-five seconds.
My heart is beating faster than my chest can stand and everyone is standing around smiling and laughing, unaware of the panic raging inside me. When I imagined this day (me in my beautiful white dress), I did not see it with me locked away in a random bathroom sitting on the floor terrified that I was making a mistake that I could never take back.
I'm not afraid I that I don't love him. I know I do, I know it because I would never have gotten this far if I didn't. Right? I know he loves me back as well, so shouldn't that be enough? Isn't that what every girl dreams of? To marry their best friend, that's what I've always been told. That's what my parent's did and it worked for them.
But I have this fear, this nagging presence in the back of my head that by going through with this will be a life sentence. One I didn't intend on. I have a million questions to ask but I don't know if anyone will give me the level headed answers that I need. But there are two questions that I have the answers too, not that it helps me.
Do I want to marry him?
Yes.
Do I want to marry the life that comes with him?
No….
I'm getting married today in five hours, eighteen minutes and fifty-two seconds.
