Harry and Hermione : a wedding to remember

Disclaimer : Harry Potter and Co are owned by J.K.Rowling, Warner Brothers and Bloomsbury. The story takes after the first Sissi-movie with Romy Schneider. I've taken a few scenes from the movie and added a little Harry Potter (ouch, I'm starting to sound like professor Snape more and more ;-) ) I've also borrowed something from a fanfic I found here, but I can't find it anywhere. If you know after reading my story I've used your idea, please let me know then I'll put you up as a desclaimer as well.



Chapter 1 : Memories of the past

Harry stared out of the window. He was now standing in the dormitory where he, Ron, Seamus, Neville and Dean had slept during his years at Hogwards. Professor McGonagall and the students of Gryffindor had offered him, Ron Weasley, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black that room to celebrate a very special occasion : his marriage to Hermione.

His thoughts went back into the past as he tried to remember how it all began....

A lot had changed since he started Hogwarts 8 years ago. In his first year he made his first true friends : Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

In his third year he was able to meet a few of his father's friends, friends he had made while he was at Hogwarts : Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.

The four of them called themselves the Maurauders and even drew their own map of Hogwarts, complete with all the secret passages. It even showed all people at Hogwards as tiny labelled dots. Harry smiled. That map had really been a life-saver a couple of times! Now he could laugh when he tought back to that one time professor Snape had cought him with that map and then the map had provoked professor Snape in a most offensive way.

Sirius, his father's best friend and his own godfather, who had been locked up innocently in Azkaban for 13 years for a crime he didn't commit saw his name cleared in Harry's fifth year as Peter Pettigrew finally surrendered himself by admitting publicly that he had betrayed Lily's and James' trust in him by telling Voldemort exactly where he could find Lily and James so he could kill them both.

In his sixth year at Hogwarts he couldn't deny anymore that he had feelings for Hermione and they started dating. They had been together eversince.

Last year the Order of the Phoenix had finally managed to defeat Voldemort for good, but they had to pay a terrible price : one of Harry's best friends, Headmaster Dumbledore died in battle. He wasn't the only one of course, but he was the only one that really mattered to Harry, who still sort of blamed himself for his death.

Later that same year he, Hermione and Ron graduated from Hogwarts. For the first time in ages there wasn't a Leaving Feast for the graduates, as no one was in the mood for a feast so close after the death of their beloved Headmaster.

Professor McGonagall was now Headmistress of Hogwarts and professor Snape had taken over her old job and was now Assistent-Headmaster.

Later that summer Harry got an owl from McGonagall, in wich she offered him a teaching position at Hogwarts. Harry was over the moon with joy when he found out that McGonagall considered him to be capable engough to become the new DADA-teacher and owled back immediately that he accepted her offer.

A few day's later he received an owl from Hermione that even made him happier than he already was. Hermione told him she had been offered a position at Hogwards too. McGonagall had offered her a job as a Charms- teacher at Hogwards as professor Flitwick had resigned. Now he couldn't wait untill term started! Then he would be united with his girlfriend again!

To Harry's surprise Sirius had received a letter from McGonagall too. She offered him her old job as a Transfiguration teacher wich he accepted immediately too.

Harry smilled as he remembered the face of professor Snape when he found out that Sirius Black, his arch-ememy was going to be one of his collegues!

He was very happy to be back at Hogwarts again, the only place that really felt like home to him! The only thing he knew he would miss was Ron.

Ron, his best friend since he first came to Hogwards, had followed into his father's footsteps by taking a job at the Minstry of Magic. There he was the assistent of his older brother Percy, who was now the new Minister of Magic, and he did quite a good job too, Harry tought, but then again, things couldn't be done worse than Cornelius Fudge had done them.

Harry smiled when that conclusion formed itself in his head before his thoughts went back to the past again : last September at the Starting Feast wich he and Hermione now had attended as teachers, he finally realized that he wanted them to get married so he proposed to her later that evening. To his very surprise she had said yes right after he had popped the question.

When they had started planning their wedding they immediately decided that they wanted their marriage to be at Hogwarts-castle.

There seemed to be no beter place for them to get married. To Harry it felt like home and it was also the place where their relationship had started.

When they asked Headmistress McGonagall if she would let them have their wedding at Hogwards she agreed instantly.

And now, just a few months later he still couldn't believe that this was going to happen. Now he would have the only thing he ever wanted : a family.

Harry sighed. He heard a noise behind him and he turned around. Sirius, his godfather was standing there.

"What's that sigh for?" he asked Harry.

"I just can't believe I'm going to marry Hermione. I thought this would never happen! Never in life I dreamt she would say 'yes'"

"But she did buddy. Are you having second thoughts about this? We can still call it off…"

"No, Sirius, I do want to get married to Hermione," he said with a little smile, "But I can't believe that nothing is going to spoil these few days. Voldemort can't take her away from me now. She's going to be my wife, and I'm going to have a family now. That's something I deeply wanted to have, ever since I was little. It almost seems like a dream, and I'm afraid that my alarm-clock will set off in a minute and I will realise it was all a dream."

"No, Harry, it's not a dream. You and Hermione are getting married tomorrow! But first we have a feast for you! And Hermione! The whole castle has been busy with it ever since last September, just a few days after you and Hermione got engaged."

"I know." Harry said with a big smile.

Then he suddenly stopped smiling.

"I know Harry," said Sirius, "I know you miss your mum and dad, and professor Dumbledore, but they'll be here, in our hearts."

"I know Sirius, but still I sort of wished they were here with me. But that's not the case, is it?"

Sirius said nothing. What could he say…



End of chapter 1, not very interesting I know, but I promise : there will be a mixted ending, you'll see that once chapter 9 is up. The storyline is set and as I'm already started writing chapter 7, I don't really need any suggestions on that part. What I do need are hints about spelling mistakes (English is not my native language), grammar mistakes and other things like that as I'm planning a BIG story at the moment. Please be gentle but fair. Untill next chapter, keep reading and reviewing (hint hint).
