AN: I wrote this a while ago, and I thought that since my other fics are taking quite a while (a combination of writer's block and university) I'd upload this little drabble :)

I should probably point out that even I'm not sure if the title works... I named it for a song I was listening to on repeat which gave me the idea (Wedding Day by Rosie Thomas) so... yeah XD

I hope you like it :)

Wedding Day

A month has passed since her foolish heroism changed her life. Now, the new Mrs. Grabiner reflects on her marriage… (drabble)

It's been exactly a month since my life went, well, completely nuts… I've woken up early today. I turn my eyes to the window, where the sky is still a deep, dark blue, a single thin line of lighter blue the only indication to me that it is indeed morning. Approximately 5:30, if I had to hazard a guess. Too early for a day when I elected to take Blue Magic with… my husband.

It sounds so strange thinking it, but I've almost become used to the odd phrase; I've turned the happenings of that fateful Saturday over enough times in my head. The Saturday that had essentially destroyed my high-school life.

At least, it had seemed that way at the time.

Having had time to contemplate it, it's not been such a terrible experience overall. Admittedly, in the first week following our marriage (just because I'm used to it doesn't make it normal to think), Professor Grabiner had been extremely cruel, picking on me in class whenever the chance arose… But now, he seems to have returned to normal, and we can just about manage a civil conversation without him glaring disdainfully at me.

A couple of weeks ago I had decided to send him a friendly valentine's gift, a peace offering of sorts, and although he told me I'd wasted my time and money, he hadn't seemed mad, and I could have sworn I'd seen the corner of his mouth twitch upwards ever-so-slightly.

Anyway, after everything that had happened, with my accidental marriage, Damien's heartbroken attack on me the next day, and Professor Grabiner's cruelty, I finally feel at peace; a calm that I personally think I deserve… and it's blissful.

Aside from that, there is one magnificent perk of being married… Somehow, despite it being a false wedding to appease an angry spirit, my mind has decided that loyalty is paramount, and I no longer find myself hounded by thoughts of boys, worrying about their affections, or my own feelings. If I see Damien in the corridor, my heart does not thump in my chest, hoping to speak to him as I used to. The same holds true for anyone attractive. I find myself unhindered by the chance of a relationship, and this makes studying much easier.

I know it's foolish to think, but I'm starting to believe that things could have turned out a hell of a lot worse…

Suddenly, I notice the sun has risen, and I glance at the clock on the wall. 7:00 am. A wonder how long thinking can take. Well, time to get up.

I dress and gather my belongings, preparing myself for Blue Magic class by running through all I knew so far. Professor Grabiner was liable to springing questions on students about things we hadn't done anything about in weeks; I intended to stay one step ahead.

But when I reach the classroom, the words "FREE PERIOD" are written on the board, and I end up using the day to review previous work anyway…

A part of me worries where he is…
