Love is Love

Chapter One: Letters and Honors

By Freshair41nce (LaLa)

It had been just a week since school let out for Hogwarts, and Hermione Granger already missed him.

It was bad enough that she was completely and deeply in love, but it did not help that she was in love with her best friend, Ron Weasley. Over her third year, she finally realized that she had a crush on him, and over the years, that crush grew to love. She knew that Ron didn't like her back, and wasn't going to risk it. She knew that he thought of them like brother and sister after all these years.

I just wish it could be more. I just wish it could be completely more. He just doesn't see me that way. Why can't I be like Lavender? She's beautiful, not to smart, not to dumb, and she got to snog him senseless.

CLUCK, CLUCK, CLUCK!

She jumped up from her daybed and quickly looked over to the window. There a tawny owl fluttered in the air, waiting for her to let him in. She ran to the window and opened it; the owl zoomed in and perched himself on top of her vanity table.

"Pig, what have you brought me? A letter from Ron?" Hermione called to Pig, Ron's owl. She walked over to the table and saw that the owl held a silver envelope.

"Guess not," she muttered, while untying the letter.

The letter was addressed THE Granger Family in precise cursive writing. The envelope was very light and delicate with beautiful outlined flowers.

Hmm... Must be Bill and Fleur's wedding invitation.

After she carefully opened the envelope, a piece of parchment slipped out and gently fell to the floor. She picked it up and read:

Hermione, Fleur and I were hoping that you would do us the honor of being a bridesmaid in our wedding. You are just like family to us, and we would be very glad to have you be a special part of our wedding. If you and your parents are okay with this, please owl back as soon as you can. We just have a couple of weeks to finish planning the wedding, so you can see that we have to run on a schedule. Please try to get your parents to come to the wedding, as well. Don't forget to ask them about this first, even though you are of age. The whole family would love to see where you got all your personality.

Bill Weasley

Oh, wow! That's so cool! I wonder when the wedding is.

She looked over the inside of the envelope. The letters were of fine writing, and a light glowed over them, to make the invitation luminous.

"Two lives, two hearts joined together in friendship
united forever in love."

With the Blessings of Our Parents:

Mr. Christophe DelacourMr. Arthur Weasley

Mrs. Marguerite DelacourMrs. Molly Weasley

Weasley Residence

Ottery St. Catchpole

"Wow, this is beautiful!" Hermione whispered to herself. "Pig, take a little rest while I go tell my parents."

She ran into the hallway and glided down the stairs.

"Mom? Dad, where are you?" Hermione called.

"We're in the kitchen, sweetie," her father replied.

As he had said, Anne and Phillip Granger were sitting next to the coffee table, still wearing there white dentist coats, both embroidered with Dr. Granger.

"Mom. Dad. Bill and Fleur's wedding invitation came already!" she said holding the invitation in the air. She handed it to her parents and continued talking.

"Doesn't it sound completely beautiful? I can just imagine the whole garden with flowers and drapes! They want both of you to come along with me, because everyone wants to meet my parents. This is the best thing, though! They want me to be a bridesmaid! Isn't that just lovely? I would get to wear a gorgeous dress, because Fleur is going to pick them out. So, can I be a bridesmaid?" Hermione said, in a rush.

"Sure, honey. This really does sound like a beautiful wedding. I'm sure this will let you have a good time until you have to leave with Harry and Ron," her mother said, ending with a hint of a frown.

"Darling, please stop worrying about that. You know our 'Mione and her friends; they'll make sure they stay safe and will accomplish they're goals. Well, 'Mione, whenever you have to go, just tell us, and any money you need, just ask. We might be able to make it, and it would be nice to get to meet the Weasley family. They seem like a lovely bunch," Mr. Granger said, contently.

"Thank you, both! I'll just go owl Bill now and tell him that you guys might be able to come and that I can be in his wedding!" Hermione gave them each a quick hug and ran back to her room.

Wait! Ron's going to be in the wedding, too; he is Bill's brother, after all. I wonder what he'll be doing. Oh, I can't wait to see him again, and hopefully, I won't make myself seem like a fool.


She pushed open her door and ran to her writing table. She rummaged the desk for a quill and parchment, and began to write.

Bill, it would be my honor, as well, to be in you wedding. As you suggested, they were perfectly content to allow me to be in your wedding party. My parents said that there's a chance that they might come, but aren't sure, yet. Don't worry, though, I'm sure that they'll come! Thank you, again, for inviting me! Give my love to everyone at the Burrow!

Hermione

She looked around the room and spotted Pig, still perched on her table.

She gently said, "Pig, I'm back. Can you take this back to Bill, please?"

The owl ruffled it's feathers and awoke. It looked intently at Hermione as she folded the note and got a string to attach it to the owl's leg. As soon as she tied the note to him and gave him a gentle pet, the owl rose up in the air and took of out of the window.

"Bye Pig! Hurry back!" she whispered to herself. She, then threw herself on her bed and released a long sigh. She couldn't wait to see the dresses, or Ron.

Hermione started daydreaming about how her wedding would be and a certain red head that would be her groom, and fell asleep.

After a couple of hours, she felt a peck at her cheek.

"Huh? Oh, hi, Pigwidgeon. What have you brought for me?" she asked, slowly bringing herself to a sitting position. The tiny owl held out his leg and let Hermione untie the letter. "Thanks Pig," and the owl flew, once more, out the window.

She noticed that it was dark in her room, so she quickly took out her want and spoke, "Lumos".

Great! The bridesmaids have dress fittings on Saturday, so you can apparate to our house at around three and you guys can leave at 4. We can't wait to see you again!

Bill

Just so, you know, the pairings are as follows:

Harry and Ginny

Ron and Hermione

Fred and Adrienne (Fleur's cousin)

George and Alex (One of our cousins)

Michael (One of our friends) and Jamie (Another friend)

Charlie and Gabrielle (Best Man and Maid of Honour)

I'm guessing they still haven't made up with Percy. Oh, wow, Ginny and Harry! They ended their relationship for Ginny's sake. That's going to be awkward! So me and... Wait, what? I'm with Ron! I have to walk with Ron! Oh my gosh! I can't walk with him, like, down the aisle! I can barely be in the same room with him, nowadays, without my head going crazy! Why don't I just owl Bill... Oh, never mind! I'll just have to do it for Bill, then! I'll figure out something, after all, I'm supposed to be a smart witch.

Once again, her thoughts drifted off, and she fell asleep with images of Ron circling around her dreams.
