This story is (of course) based very strongly off of the movie Bride Wars with Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. The ships Hinny and Romione will show up, along with another, if you know the movie. The dialogue will be very similar, as you can probably tell in this first chapter.

A/N: I don't own anything. J.K. Rowling's wonderful mind came up with Harry Potter and 20th Century Fox distributed the movie for us to enjoy. I only combined the two.

Enjoy the short, but necessary, Prologue! :D :D


It all began ten years ago, at a church near the Leaky Cauldron. It was a Muggle church most of the time, but during the month of May, it was 'boarded up'. This allowed those of the Wizard community to use it for their own weddings, funerals, etc. Two mothers brought their daughters, Ginny and Hermione, to the Leaky Cauldron for tea. On that afternoon, there was a wedding at the church. There was something blue, something borrowed, and something completely magical. Yes, even weddings can bring about a type of magic not usually found in the wizard world. Sitting outside, the girls watched in awe the happy couple. They told themselves that they too would find that one person to stand beside them forever, and when they did, they would get married at the church during May.

A twelve-year-old Hermione placed a single blue pin in an eleven-year-old Ginny's hair.

"Yes," Ginny, dressed in a little white Muggle wedding gown, said to no one in particular. "I will take this lofty man to be my husband."

"I always knew my wedding would be the happiest day of my life," Hermione, dressed in a little Muggle tuxedo, remarked.

The two looked over at each other and fell into a heap of giggles. Hermione had just taught Ginny the Muggle game of dress-up. They were at Hermione's house.

Mrs. Granger was downstairs, talking to Mrs. Weasley. Ever since the mothers had met at Diagon Alley to get their children's school supplies, they'd been inseparable. Now, during the summer before Hermione's second year and Ginny's first year, the mothers brought their girls to meet each other. Something happened when they saw the wedding—something wonderful.

The girls sat up from their giggle fit.

"Oh, Hermione! I almost forgot!" Ginny pulled the veil from her head and ran over to grab a box. "I made this—well, I took it from my dad's Muggle stash after I asked him if I could—and I've been putting wedding things into it for a while now! I thought you'd want it also."

Hermione took the beautifully decorated wooden box from her friend's hand and looked at it. "It's wonderful! We can combine our wedding ideas. There's no way we'll be getting married at the same time, so who would care if we have similar weddings!"

Ginny smiled. "And when that time does come, will you be my maid of honor?"

Hermione returned her smile. "Of course! As long as you're mine." She spit on her hand and stuck it out.

Ginny shrunk away after seeing what Hermione just did. "Um, what was that?"

"It's like a Muggle's version of an Unbreakable Vow," Hermione explained without losing a beat. "Just spit on your hand. It's not that gross."

"Okay." Ginny spit on her hand and held it out to shake Hermione's.

After they shook, Hermione said, "Now, no matter what, we have to be each other's maid of honor."

"Yay!" Ginny giggled.

"GINNY!" Mrs. Weasley called up the stairs. "Time to go home, dear!"

"OKAY, MOM!" Ginny called back as she started changing out of the dress. "Thanks for teaching me dress-up, Hermione. It's been fun!"

"You're welcome, Ginny. I had a bunch of fun. See you at Diagon Alley in a few weeks to get your stuff before you start Hogwarts!" Hermione gave her friend a hug.

"Bye, Hermione!" Ginny walked out the door, waving at her friend. She was headed back to her home with six brothers. The best part of her summer that year was getting to know her brother's best girl friend. As she left with her mom, she thought, I do believe this is the start of a beautiful friendship.
