By imafeckingstarr
Summary: You are cordially invited to the ceremonial bonding of Tom Marvolo Riddle and Emily 'Emmy' White. Dress accordingly, preferably white, silver or black. The wedding of Emmy and Tom is finally here, and you're all invited! Will this be the happy day that Emmy has always wanted? And will it go according to plan? Of course it will! Or will it?
A/N: I thought I'd write this short story about Tom's and Emmy's wedding. Through the midst of "A Riddle for Riddle" and "the Adventure of a Marauder" there needs to be a small amount of limelight on their happiness together, right? Right! You're all invited to this wedding ;) Have fun!
You Are Cordially Invited!
A gleaming, silver envelope flies through your bedroom window and lands onto your lap. Confused, you turn it over to see black swirls and your name encrypted on the front in beautiful calligraphic handwriting. Curious to what the envelope contains, you rip it open eagerly and inside is a white card.
You are cordially invited to the ceremonial bonding of Tom Marvolo Riddle and Emily 'Emmy' White.
Dress accordingly, preferably white, silver or black. The bonding starts at 10am on Sunday 27th June and will run smoothly into the reception. We await your owl patiently with your reply.
Flattered and eager to attend, you scribble your thanks on a spare piece of parchment you found on your floor and tell the happy couple that you will gladly attend their wedding. You're happy and ecstatic, skipping around your house like a pansy until something makes you stop and think. The 27th June is in precisely two weeks – what on Earth are you going to wear?
Panicking slightly, you run back up to your room, change out of your pyjamas and into your favourite pair of jeans and t-shirt, put your shoes on, grab your wand and immediately apparate to Diagon Alley to see if Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions has something for you to wear.
When you arrive, Madam Malkin is already fitting someone else into their robes - Jet black with a tint of green. You're greeted by a head of familiar dark hair, and you're surprised to see Tom Riddle getting his final robe fittings for his wedding. You note his calm demeanour and tell yourself that you should be calm too; after all, there was nothing to worry about… yet.
After an hour and a half of waiting, Tom's finally finished. He thanks Madam Malkin, and he nods curtly in your direction, to which you smile politely back. After all, he did invite you to his wedding.
Madam Malkin walked over to you, smiling widely, "What'll it be, dear?" She asked you, and you replied by telling her you didn't have anything to wear to Tom's and Emmy's wedding.
"Do they have required colours?" Madam Malkin asked and you nodded, remembering what had been specified on the invitation. You told her that the invitation had asked for either white, silver or black. Madam Malkin smiled and told you not to worry; she wasn't a robe fitter for nothing!
She pulls you up onto a foot stool and takes your measurements. The last time you was in here you had been seventeen, you're now eighteen and three quarters, soon to be nineteen, so you're bound to have grown at least a couple of inches.
True to your thoughts, you had grown exactly three inches both leg wise, arm wise and waist wise. After chastising yourself for letting that slip, you remind yourself that you need to work out a little bit more.
Madam Malkin finishes measuring you and runs off into the back to grab some robes. Your thoughts drift off, and you wonder if Emmy was the one who invited you, not Tom. After all, Tom didn't seem to like you. Then again, he didn't seem to like anyone – Emmy's an obvious exception.
You hear a clatter of noises as Madam Malkin runs back to you with several robes in her hands, some white, some silver and some black. In horror, you recognize them at once – dress robes. You'd forgotten how formal this event was.
"How's about you try this black one, dear?" She asks you with a smile, and reluctantly, you grab the robe and ram it over your head.
Well, you think, at least I got invited.
This is all so exciting, don't you think? :D I hope you liked it! Read and Review! muchlove,
