Wand point wedding
Hermione sighed, standing in front of the floor length mirror, in a loose, flowing white gown. "You are the unhappiest bride I've ever seen." Ginny commented, as she stood leaning against the window sil. The brunette huffed, and tugged at her dress uneasily. "Yes well...you know where I stand on this marriage." She let her hands come to rest on her rounded stomach, which stood out well enough to be seen through the folds of fabric.
"My father is just crazy stubborn." She sighed, turning her dark eyes on the younger woman. "Yes well, I expect that's where you get it from. And I can honestly say I couldn't imagine the wedding going any other way." Ginny snickered, moving closer to her best friend, "And the rehersal dinner last night was hilarious."
"I'd never have guessed, you being Snape's daughter. Sleeping with Malfoy. What a sight!" Ginny was doubled over laughing as the door to the room swung open to reveal Ron, who looked nearly as amused as Ginny. "I've been sent to fetch you. Once you get to the isle, your dad'll walk you down. He just didn't want to take his wand off Malfoy."
Hermione rolled her eyes, but accepted the boquet being offered to her by her maid of honour, "Honestly, you'd think the wedding had been my idea." She looped her arm through Ron's and he led her to a set of grand double doors, "Right, you wait here, I'll fetch your dad, then we'll start the march!" Ron disappeared through the doors chuckling, and the bride brought her hand up to her face, to rub her temples. "Don't you ruin your make up, I spent ages on that!" Ginny hissed as the doors opened again to reveal her father.
"Stunning, dear. Just stunning. No chance he'll run off now." Severus said with a smirk as he took in his slightly-aggitated daughter. "Couldn't this have just waited?" She asked, gesturing to the doors, behind which a large group of people sat waiting for the wedding to start. "Absolutely not. My daughter will not have a child out of wedlock, so the father may have time to escape." His drawling voice betrayed his amusment, and she allowed him to loop their arms together firmly. The doors swung open and all eyes were on her. Ginny walked out ahead of her and her father, but the maid of honour went unnoticed.
"But dad, getting married was his idea. I wanted to wait." She hissed through her teeth, forcing a smile, though it was much less forced when she heard her father's reply. "Yes, but I couldn't very well turn my wand on my pregnant daughter, could I?" She was giggling by the time they reached the altar, where Draco stood waiting in his best robes, with a nasty shiner. She burst into another fit of giggles as she recalled how he had received that. He'd snuck into her room at her father's house, and accidentally scared the daylights out of her. She had punched by reflex, but her father prefered to say she'd hit him for knocking her up before proposing.
This little drabble is something amusing I thought of while working on Year Three.
It fits in with the alretnate-universe I've created for the 'A girl named Hermione Granger' series, but isn't part of the plot for the stories. I just like how it turned out and really wanted to post it. I have several more little ideas like this one, and I'll be posting them in this one-shot collection.
