A/N: I don't own Harry Potter or anything related to it.
I know this is short. It randomly came out onto my computer instead of the history paper I should have been working on. Lol.
The People There
Hannah and Neville's wedding could have been marked by the people missing.
Alice and Frank Longbottom were too unstable to leave St. Mungo's.
Hannah's mother had died in her sixth year. Her father had never gotten over it and had committed suicide two years later. Her little sister Kimberly had died of spattergroit at the age of three. And her best friends in the world, Susan and Ernie, had died in the war.
But still, the wedding was packed. There was Augusta Longbottom and Hannah's Great Uncle Tom to represent the families. And of course, there was the D.A.
Harry and Ginny, who sported a small diamond on a thin band on her finger.
Ron and Hermione, holding hands.
Luna, wearing sun colors as was her custom, and her new boyfriend, Rolf, the one she met on the trip to Egypt.
George and Katie. Percy. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
Seamus and Lavender, who had a light coat of makeup over her scars.
Dean and Parvati.
Oliver and his fiancée, the American. Lee Jordan and Alicia. Angelina. Padma and Anthony Goldstein. Terry Boot and Mandy Jones. Hagrid. Michael Corner and Morag MacDougal and Cho Chang and Lisa Turpin and Dennis Creevey.
Some teachers: Sprout and McGonagall and Flitwick. Kingsley from the Order.
Justin Finch-Fletchey, who walked her down the aisle. Hannah gripped his arm, a very bridelike smile spreading across her face. As she walked slowly, regally, as only a bride could, she wasn't reflecting on her dead parents, friends, sister. Nor was she focusing on her poor insane in-laws.
She was focusing on the people who were there. Neville, especially. Neville, who would soon be her husband. She felt the butterflies in her stomach take flight, but she ignored them. It was her wedding day, and she wasn't going to let the nerves get the best of her.
They had reached the front of the marquee, now, and she joined Neville, greeted him with a kiss.
She could see in his eyes that he felt the same way: yes, there were a lot of people who should have been at the wedding missing. But there were a whole lot of people who were there.
Neville and Hannah's wedding could have been marked by the people who weren't there. But instead, it was marked by the people that were.
Let me know what you thought! Please R and R.
