DISCLAIMER: neither I or bob own anything 'cept devian, nella, serenity, maddie and tom green (the one in this fic.. hehehe).

A/N Someone mentioned that it was a little strange the way Devian and Serenity acted to what Angelina said. You're right, it will make a little more sense if you read the other story first. For the sake of saving time, here's an explanation: Devian is overly dramatic (i.e the screaming and throwing of the drink in Angelina's face) she can't help it, that's just her personality. Serenity is a modern day war mongerer (meaning she likes to fight... alot) hence, the hitting. hope that helped a bit.

Devian stood up as Serentiy stormed into the apartment, rubbing her knuckles, "Don't think we'll be having anymore problems from her, but what are we going to do about Fred?"

Devian frowned, "You don't think she's telling the truth, do you?"

Serenity sighed and shrugged," I honestly don't know what to think Dev. I mean, what reason would she have for lieing?"

Devian burst into tears.

Serenity tried to confort her, "I'm sure she's lieing, we'll just follow Fred around a bit, to prove it. Even if he did make a mistake,that's all it was, a mistake. No matter what happens, you're the only person that he loves, and he still wants to marry you, thats all that matters."

Devian nodded, "Thanks."

A few days later Fred confronted Devian after coming home from work.

"Devian," he started walking into the kitchen where she was making dinner.

She looked at him innocently, "Yes love?"

"Why did you have Serenity punch Angelina in the nose?"

Devian's eyes widend and she turned back to her work, "I don't know what you're talking about sweety."

"You know damn well what I'm talking about, now answer the question."

"What my friends do in their spare time is no concern of mine. What makes you think I had anything to do with it?"

"Angelina told me."

"And did she tell you why Serenity punched her in the nose?"

He looked down at the ground uncomfortably and shuffled his feet, "I don't really want to talk about it anymore," He turned and started to walk away, but she followed him out of the room.

"Well I do want to talk about it. What's the matter darling, why so uncomfortable all of a sudden? " Devian said, an inch from his face.

"Why the hell are you being so bloody persistent about this? It's not important. I just want to know why you sent Serenity after her?"

She glared at him, "I was hoping you would tell me but apparantly you need to grow up a little more first."

"That's funny, I was under the impression that you were being the baby in this situation," he replied, storming out of the house.

Maddie began to wail as he slammed the door.

Meanwhile, at Hogwarts, Hermione was sitting in the great hall waiting for the mail to come. She had been in contact with Devian lately and new the invitations for the wedding would be arriving any day. Ron, who was seated next to her, was busy stuffing his face with mashed potatoes. As she reflected on the year so far, she realized that even though so much had changed, everything seemed to have gone back to the way it were before they had met Devian, Serenity, and Nella. Harry and Hermione had gone back to being just friends.

Just then, Harry and Draco came running up to them, both looking a little flushed. "Has the mail arrived yet?" Harry asked anxiously.

Hermione smiled ,"No, not yet."

At that moment the owls flew in, carrying the invitations and Ron's daily letter from Audra.

Later that day Hermione was walking past an empty classroom when she heard two familiar voices inside. She was about to go in but curiosity overcame her and she leaned up against the door, listening intently. It was open a crack, and she could just make out a dark ruffled head of hair and a silver head of hair leaning in very close to one another.

"You're thinking about Serenity, aren't you?" she could hear Harry say.

"I'm sorry, I just can't seem to take my mind off her, even when we kiss." Draco replied apologetically.

"It's okay, I don't care. I understood from the very beginning that you love her more than anything."

Hermione leaned in closer just in time to see Harry tentivley place his lips on Draco's. At first it didn't appear that Draco was going to respond, but after a moment's hesitation, he began to kiss back with passion.

____________________________________________________________________

"HE FUCKING SENT HER AN INVITATION SERENITY! HOW THE HELL COULD HE DO THAT?" Devian screamed, throwing down the list of all the people invited to the wedding.

Serenity glanced up from the catalog of floral arrangements, "So we take her off the list."

"It's too late, the invitations have already been sent!" Devian whined.

"Well once, I was at a wedding, and the bride and groom had both made up seperate guest lists and ended up inviting too many people, so they had to tell the greeter who took the invitations to tell a certain number of guests that they couldn't fit them into the church and that they could come to the reception later. You could just do that, make up a fake list of people and add her name into it so it doesn't look suspicious."

"You know, you're brilliant sometimes."

"I know."

_____________________________________________________________________

After witnessing the kiss between Harry and Draco, Hermione had run straight back to her dorm room to be alone with her thoughts. She couldn't feel too upset, afterall, Harry wasn't her's anymore. But would she tell Serenity? She knew she would have to eventually, but she decided to wait until after the wedding, so as not to spoil everyone's good time.

___________________________________________________________________

It was finally the day of the wedding and everyone was rushing around, making sure everything was perfect. Devian was in the dressing room off to the side of the main part of the church, where Serenity, Nella, Hermione and Audra were helping her do her makeup. Mrs. Weasley stepped in the door, surveying the dress, which was sleeveless, curving into an elegant 'V' at the neckline, and had a satin skirt that trailed slightly behind her in the back, giving the impression that she was floating, rather than walking. "You look lovely dear! I just came by to give you something," She reached into her pocket and pulled out a silver chain with a heart pendant on the end. "There, now you have something old and something borrowed, it was my grandmother's."

Devian beamed and hugged her soon to be mother in law, "this will look lovely with my dress, thank you! But I completely forgot about that tradition... I still need something new and something blue."

They all thought for a moment before Serenity reached into her purse and produced two lightblue hairclips. "I just bought these yesterday. I was going to wear them today, but they don't match my dress," she pinned them into Devian's hair, "there, now all thats left for us to do is get you married."

Nella checked her watch, "We still have 10 minutes until the ceremony starts. Hermione, why don't you and Audra go out and listen for the music to begin. Serenity and I will stay in here with Devian."

They nodded and left. Devian gave a meaningful look to Serenity, "Actually, there's something Serenity needs to do before all the guests arrive, isn't that right Serenity?"

Serenity looked confused for a moment before finally realizing what Devian meant, "Oh right! I'll be back in a second," she slipped out the door quickly before Nella could ask anymore questions.

"So," Nella began, grinning at her sister, "are you nervous?"

Devian nodded, "just a bit."

"No need to worry, dear," Mrs. Weasley interjected, "I was nervous before my wedding, but everything turned out fine. I imagine you two will be very happy together."

There was a knock at the door before Fred popped his head in,"Mind if I talk to Dev alone for a minute?"

"Fred! You're not supposed to see the bride before the wedding, it's bad luck!" his mother scolded.

He sighed, "Fine, I won't look at her, I just want to have a quick chat."

"Oh alright. But make it quick."

She and Nella left as Fred awkwardly stumbled in, his hand over his eyes. Devian smiled. "So what did you want to talk about?"

He turned his back to her, and she did the same, pressing up against him.

"I just wanted to say that I know we've been fighting alot lately, but I hope we can put the past behind us and get on with our lives. We've both been acting like a couple of 5 year olds, but I'm through with that. I don't want to lose you, I love you so much."

The urgency in his voice moved Devian, who was desperately trying to control the tears that threatened to start streaming down her face at any moment. She felt around for his hand and grabbed it, squeezing hard, "I love you too, and I'm sorry for any pain or anger I've caused you in the past. No matter what happens, we will overcome it, because we were meant to be together. Forever." she stated firmly.

"Do me a favor, close your eyes a moment."

"Okay," she said, shutting them tightly.

He spun her around and kissed her gently, wrapping her in a warm loving embrace. Suddenly they heard Mrs. Weasley's voice from the other side of the door, "You'd better get back to you're spot Fred, we'll be starting in about 5 minutes."

He sighed and kissed Devian once more, before turning and walking out the door. As he walked past the main entrance, he spotted Serenity handing a piece of paper to the security gaurd.

"Now remember, if these people come to the door, you tell them that we don't have enough room for them but they can still come to the reception."

Fred ducked behind a large pillar as she passed, getting the feeling that he wasn't meant to hear that. He moved close enough to look over the guard's shoulder at the piece of paper to find exaclty what he had been dreading. He was about to take the piece of paper from him and tell him to disregard Serenity's instructions when George grabbed him by the arm and began to tug him into the church, "Wait! I have to do something."

"Whatever it is, it'll have to wait. The wedding's starting."

___________________________________________________________________

Fred was able to remain calm as he watched his mother walk down the isle, carrying Madison in her arms. He was even able to keep a straight face as all the bridesmaids came pouring in, accompanied by their respective dates. But he could feel the anger building in him as Devian appeared, looking as radiant and beautiful as ever. He watched as she nonchalantly looked around, smiling at the occasional guest. She's probably checking to make sure Angelina isn't here.

Devian smiled warmly as she stepped up beside her soon to be husband, but cringed when she noticed the cold way with which he returned the smile. As the preacher began the cermony, she glanced nervously at him, and then gave a questioning look to Serenity, who could only shrug and look worried. Finally, he leaned over slowly and whispered, "What's wrong? You've already got what you wanted, she's not here."

Serenity, Nella, Hermione, and George were close enough to hear what he'd said, but the guests smiled knowingly at one another, assuming it had been something sweet and reassuring to calm the nervous bride down.

Regaining her composure, Devian quickly answered back, "she shouldn't have been invited in the first place."

"Why not? She's my friend, I should be able to invite her. You invited all of your friends."

"You know I don't like her!" Devian whispered back vehemently, "I'm surprised that you'd have the audacity to bring her to our wedding after what happened!"

Serenity and George, who were closest to the two and could hear everything, exchanged worried and exasperated looks.

"WHAT, YOU MEAN AFTER YOU HAD SERENITY BEAT HER UP?" He finally yelled, startling everyone.

"NO, AFTER YOU MADE THAT LITTLE MISTAKE!" Devian screamed back, making quotation signs with her fingers on the 'mistake' to emphasize the sarcasticness.

"WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT YOU CRAZY BITCH?"

"I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU INSENSITIVE BASTARD! AND DON'T YOU EVER EVER EVER SWEAR AT ME AGAIN!" She began to stomp away.

"FINE, I DON'T WANT TO MARRY YOU EITHER THEN!" Fred called after her.

She turned around and marched back, throwing her boquet of flowers at him, followed by the engagement ring he had given her so many months before. "IF ANGELINA BEING HERE IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THAN OUR WEDDING, THEN WHY DON'T YOU MARRY HER INSTEAD!" She ran out again, not giving him a chance to respond.

___________________________________________________________________

Serenity and Nella immediately ran after Devian, hoping to catch up to her, but she was already out of sight once they reached the doors. Serenity whirled on Fred, who had emerged from the church looking pale and a bit shakey. "I hope that whore was worth it Fred, because you may have just lost the love of your life." With that she walked off, in hopes of finding Devian before her friend did anything irrational.

Nella stared at him for a moment.

"What, now you're going to yell at me too?"

She shook her head, "I don't know enough to take sides, but I have a feeling that the last part of what Serenity said might be true. I'm sorry," she said, walking back into the church.

George walked up to his brother and placed a hand on his shoulder, "I think" he started, taking a deep breath,"that you need to go apologize."

"For what? She started it!"

"You called her a crazy bitch, Fred. In front of hundreds of people, including both your families. Just let that sink in a moment. Devian, the one who only moments ago you were in there taking vows never to hurt. The one you know would never ever for the life of her hurt you on purpose. The one who is mad about you, and loves you more than life itself."

George paused a moment, and Fred looked down.

"What were you two fighting about anyway?"

"I don't even know anymore George. I think we both have two very different veiws on what caused this situation."

____________________________________________________________________

She heard the footsteps coming and new who it was, and at the moment was desperately trying to decide whether to run away or face him. In another couple of seconds she wouldn't have a choice...

"Devian," Fred said breathlessly coming up behind her.

She didn't say anything, but he could tell she was shivering. He took his jacket off and draped it over her shoulders. She looked down at the water below and sighed, not knowing how to start. They stood in silence for awhile before she finally spoke, "Maybe it would be best if we took some time away from each other."

He looked hurt, "Does this mean we're breaking up?"

Devian took a deep breath, "No, I just think you need space in order to sort out your priorities. Actually, we both do. It's not goodbye love," at this she hugged him, "just... see you later."

"I guess you're right, but how are we going to do this? What about Maddie?"

"We can ask Nella and George to take care of her."

"You can live at our place, and I'll move back in with my parents for awhile."

"Well, it's settled then, see you around," with that she did the hardest thing she would ever have to do, and turned around and walked away from him, not looking back once. ______________________________________________________________________
