Don't own.
I wasn't planning on updating tonight. Make what you will of this chapter. There's only one more chapter coming. Probably an epilogue too. Not sure.
BTW, there's a quote in here from Scrubs. Brownie points to whoever finds it.
Chapter Seven - Stubborn
Hermione smiled softly at her reflection in the mirror, pleased that her hair had been so well behaved. A few delinquent strands had fallen from the elegant chignon that her hair had been pulled into, sweetly framing her face and swept across her shoulders. Her dress was simple, a sheer ivory floor-length coat over an embroidered silk sheath, but breathtakingly beautiful.
"Hermione?" Ginny poked her head through the door of the hotel room she was changing in. "You look gorgeous."
"Thanks, Gin." Hermione looked her over. The bridesmaid's dresses were light green chiffon, which suited Ginny's complexion just fine, with her vivid red hair pulled up in a simpler version of Hermione's updo, though no strays peeked out.
"Ron'll be speechless."
"Ron?" Hermione's smile faded slightly before brightening again. "Yeah. I guess he will be."
"Gin? Did I see…" Tonks trailed off as Hermione swirled back to face the mirror. "Hermione, you look lovely."
"Tonks, if you say one word about that bastard again…" Hermione snarled. "I'm marrying Ron. He loves me."
"He's not the only one in love with you…." Tonks muttered under her breath.
"Snape does not love me!" She spat. "He's a bastard coated bastard with bastard filling and bastard sprinkles!"
"She's got a point, Tonks." Ginny cut in. "Snape even said himself that he was drunk. And she loves Ron. They've been together since Hogwarts and -"
"So you're marrying the guy because he's what you're used too then? Is that it?" Tonks cut her off. "If it is, then you need to rethink the decision."
"I - " Hermione's mouth opened and closed a few times.
"Tell her you love him, Hermione." Ginny said softly, reaching for Hermione's veil lying across a chair.
"I – Of course I care for him." She hissed, moving so that Ginny could put the veil in place.
"You - " Tonks protests were cut short by a knock on the door.
"It's time." Remus called through the door to them.
Leave a review?! Please?
