I am not the kind of girl,
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil
occasion,
But you are not the kind of boy,
Who should be marrying the wrong girl,
Hermione Jean Granger starred up at the small church in the middle of Richmond Park. She knew she shouldn't be there but she just had to see him. She knew something, anything she had to do just to convince him not to marry the wrong girl. He wasn't the type of person she knew from all those late nights of sneaking past Harry and Ron, just to be with him. She watches as Harry and Ginny show up in their little blue car sporting a cute little James not far from behind them.
I sneak in and see your friends,
And her snotty little family, all dressed in pastel,
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid,
Somewhere back inside a room,
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry,
This is surely not what you thought it would be,
I lose myself in a daydream,
Hermione walked into the church she had to find him, had to stop this madness. She walked pasts the bridal room and peaks into it and see Miss Astoria Greengrass dress in a long flowing gown with lace and flowers covering every bit of it. 'She looks like she's wearing a cake.' Hermione smirks to herself; if there was one thing he taught her it was how to smirk. As she moved away she could hear Astoria yell at one of her bridesmaids "What do you mean she's here? We have to find her before she ruins everything." Hermione snapped out her wand and muttered a quick incantation this turns her hair to a blonde like color and her eyes to a deep setting blue. Now if anyone asked she could claim she was a cousin. She stooped down and picked up her bridal announcement.
Hermione wander down the hall some more and finally finds him. As she peers through the crack in the door standing before the mirror is one Draco Malfoy. He was muttering something to himself, she noticed. She started to daydream about when they were younger and how much fun they use to have. She needed to put a stop to this wedding but how could she without causing too much commotion. It was her after all who ended their relationship at Hogwarts before the war started, all because she couldn't handle sneaking around anymore and wanted to tell people about their secret.
Draco sat there staring into his mirror, this isn't what he wanted. He didn't want the whole white wedding thing. Something simple would've worked perfectly fine. 'If only my mother would've understood when I said I was in love with someone else, someone she shouldn't approve of. That I just wanted to wait for her, until she comes back to me.' He signed as he tied the tie around his neck. He glanced up into his mirror to see a pair of stunning blue eyes staring back at him, he knew those eyes, but just as he went to say her name his mother came into the room and she fled from the door. His mother starred at him. "What's the matter Draco, Honey? Aren't you happy?"
He looked at his mother it had been two years since the final battle at Hogwarts and looking at his mother you could tell it took its toll on her. She'd grown stronger since his father was sent to Azkaban. "Mother you know perfectly well, I don't want to marry Astoria. I only want to make you happy. Though you know perfectly well, that I love someone else." He stated
"Draco, dear, this isn't about love, the Grenngrss's have the proper means to bring us back into society. Thanks to your father we have nothing." Narcissa touched her son's face. "Just do this for me." She patted him slightly. "It's time to go, Draco." He nodded but was silently praying for a miracle.
Fun gestures are exchanged,
And the organ starts to play
A song that sounds like a death march,
And I am hiding in the curtains,
It seems I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be,
She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen,
But I know you wish it was me,
You wish it was me, don't you?
Hermione walked towards the church's main room, she looked around for a place to sit and noticed Harry and Ginny sitting towards the back. She knew they would regonise her in her own little curtain like disguise. She knew though that being by them would give her the confidence she needed to say what must be said. Everyone around her was shaking hands and being merry. She slide into the seat next to Ginny "Lovely wedding, huh?" she spoke quietly.
Ginny looked over at her then smiled "'Mione you know this is going to be hard on you why did you come?"
She smiled at her friend's concern "I have to make sure he's truly happy." She stated.
Ginny just smiled at her then replied "Even if the bride doesn't want you here? Because it seems everyone but you was invited even Ron."
Hermione flinched at the mention of Ron's name. Though after everything she should be okay, at least that's what she told herself when it happened, but the mention of his name still brought back those painful memories. "Hence the Diguise, love." She pointed at herself. Ginny just giggled as the wedding music floated in from a nearby organ.
Draco heard the organ beginning to play what other would hear a sweet sounding melody but to him it sounded like someone marching him to his death. That's what he was doing signing his life away to a girl he barely knew. Yes, Astoria was pretty and a nice girl; she just wasn't the right girl for him. He wanted so bad to call off this wedding but he knew what it meant for his mother. He looked up as the organ started playing "Here comes the bride." He looked at the girl walking towards him. He desperately tried to imagine Hermione in her place. He couldn't though Hermione wouldn't of wanted a wedding done up in white or a big church full with 600 odd some people half of which he didn't know. He wished as hard as he could that Astoria was her, Hermione Jean Grange, but wishing as he came to realize was just for desperate people.
I hear the preacher say,
"Speak now or forever hold your peace,"
There's a silence, there's my last chance,
I stand up with shaking hands,
All eyes on me,
Horrified looks from everyone in the room,
But I'm only lookin' at you,
I am not the kind of girl,
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil
occasion,
But you are not the kind of boy,
Who should be marryin' the wrong girl,
So don't say yes, run away now,
I'll meet you when you're out,
Of the church at the back door,
Don't wait or say a single vow,
You need to hear me out,
And they said, "Speak now,"
Hermione listens as the preacher talks about love and commitment. She signs, then she starts to smile, she noticed something that only someone who knew Draco as well as she did could spot, he was flinching slightly as he said his vows. She instantly knew what she had to do and as if waiting for his queue the preacher said "Speak now or forever hold your peace." There was a brief silence and she knew this was her last chance to stop this wedding. She stood up and looking directly at Draco she muttered "I object." All eyes turned towards her and she realized the spell she put on herself wore off. The look on everyone's face was as if Voldemort walked into the room and started killing people.
"What was that Miss?" the Preacher asked.
Hermione looked at her hands then smiled looking up at the priest. "I object" she said more clearly.
"And why do you object." He asked her.
Hermione signed "Because he's marrying the WRONG girl. Draco, you and I both know you don't want to marry Astoria. So don't say yes and run away with me now." She looked at him then back down at her hands realizing he wasn't moving towards her. She started running out of the church embarrassed of what she just did. She started crying.
And you say,
"Let's run away now,
I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the back door,
Baby, I didn't say my vows,
So glad you were around when they said, "Speak now,"
Draco follows her out of the church's doors. "So you're just leaving again. Leaving me standing here, after you just go ahead and make a claim that I'm marring the wrong person." He moves towards her grabbing her arm. He swings her into him. "Hermione Jean Granger, What am I to do with you?"
She looked up into his pale grey eyes as he wipes the tears from hers. "Hermione I'm so happy you were here to stop this." He whispers into her ear. "Because it's you I want to be with." He smiled down at her and scooped her chin into his hands and kissed her hard on the lips. "Let me get out of this tux and I'll meet you at your car."
She nodded not knowing what else to do and watched him walk back into the church, but upon reaching the door he turned towards her. "And Hermione don't run I want to be with you and only you."
She smiled and knew that this was only the beginning to a peaceful life as Mrs. Hermione Jean Malfoy.
