Luna smiled broadly at Ginny. She looked so beautiful in her pure white wedding gown and veil. Luna had made her flaming red hair into a crown of braids, dotted with tiny white lilies.
"You look beautiful," Hermione breathed in awe.
Ginny grinned at both of her bridesmaids. "So do you," she said. "I'm glad I went with that color. It flatters both of you."
Luna and Hermione were wearing matching periwinkle blue dresses that cut off just barely above the knees, and Ginny was right. The color did look good on the two of them.
"Today's not about us," said Hermione. "It's about you and Harry."
"Oh come off it, Hermione. We'll be at your wedding soon. I swear if Ronald doesn't propose to you soon, I'll do it myself!" Ginny exclaimed.
Hermione's cheeks turned rather red. "I'm not entirely sure you can do that," she said with a laugh.
Luna looked out the window at the clear spring sky. A few puffy, white clouds floated past, completing the scenic appearance the burrow always provided for weddings. She sighed, doubting she would ever get married herself. She'd be a bridesmaid or guest for every wedding she ever attended, but never a bride.
Hannah Abbott, on the other hand, would be a bride. Luna's best friend, Neville Longbottom, had proposed to Hannah just over a month ago, much to the surprise of everyone who knew them. Their relationship, at least in Luna's opinion, had always been quite rocky and unstable. She wasn't even sure Neville liked her, let alone loved her. And it was the same for Hannah.
But then again, Luna didn't know why she cared so much. Neville was her best friend. She should be happy for him.
"Don't you think so, Luna?" asked Ginny.
Luna shook her head. "Sorry, what?"
"I was just telling Hermione how she and Ron will be engaged within the month. Don't you agree?" Ginny looked at her expectantly and Luna cleared her throat.
"Oh, I wouldn't be surprised," said Luna. "He'd mad for you, Hermione."
Hermione giggled a little bit, a sound that rarely escaped her lips, causing the other two to laugh along with her. "The feeling seems to be mutual," Ginny joked. The three girls just started laughing harder.
There was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" called Ginny. "Harry if that's you, go away. You'll see me in ten minutes!"
"It's Charlie, Ginny," said a voice behind the door. "And it'll be a little less than ten minutes. It's go time. Come on!"
Ginny's face turned as red as a tomato. "Oh gosh," she said. She turned to her two best friends and smiled nervously.
"You'll be fine," said Hermione. "You're marrying your best friend in the world!"
Luna's heart jolted at the sound of those words. You're marrying your best friend in the world. If only Luna could say the same about herself.
