A/N: I don't own anything. 100-word drabbles for HedwigBlacks Romantic Drabble challenge. For this one I used the prompt "pain" and the quote "Every act of creation is first an act of destruction" by Pablo Picasso.
Perfect. Everything went perfectly. Perfect dress, perfect ceremony, perfect kiss, even perfect hair. So why did she feel like something was ending? It was more like the end of Miss Hermione Granger than the beginning of Mrs. Hermione Weasley, and that was painful.
Then her husband (her husband!) came beside her. Held her. Kissed her. "Ron, I feel like I lost me when I married you. I'm sorry."
"Every act of creation is first an act of destruction. I promise you, one day you will look back and see this was a beginning."
They kissed, and their kisses grew deeper.
