Ron tapped his glass awkwardly, clearing his throat. The people around them hushed, and he began his speech, a speech he had been obsessing over for months.
"The day I met Harry, in fact, the day I met both Harry and Draco, we were on the Hogwarts Express for the first time ever. I count that as the luckiest day of my life, because I met my wife, when Hermione came into the compartment, already telling me off, and I met my best friend, and we bonded over chocolate, the way all friends should.
Draco, here, arrogant little snot he was, came into the compartment, and man, I had never met a boy I disliked more, and the feelings were mutual all around. We spent the next seven years, Harry and Draco especially, taunting and calling each other, wand and fist fights, Hermione got the first punch in, and just being teenagers. It was a rivalry I never thought I'd see the end of.
Today, I stood as best man for my best friend, a space that has been reserved for me since we were eleven. I thought, for a time, I would be standing here talking about Harry becoming a Weasley, but that wasn't to be. Instead, I'm proud to stand here, and welcome Draco to our family, because he's more perfect for Harry than anyone else ever could be. Whether as a rival, or a lover, Harry and Draco have been invested in each other for years.
Congratulations, Draco, you just married a man who is brave and selfless, and a better man than most could hope to be. Congratulations, Harry, you just married a ferret. To Harry and Draco!"
"To Harry and Draco!"
