The Pre-Wedding Jitters

Jacqueline and Angelina pulled Hermione back into the house, up the entrance hall stairs and down to the left wing. They entered a room which looked like a dressing room in a ladies clothing store. There were three giant mirrors to one side and two changing rooms on the other.

Jacqueline decided, "I'll do clothes and hair if you do the makeup."

"That's fine by me," replied Angelina.

"What are you ladies going to do to me?" wondered Hermione.

"Why, all we are going to do is get you ready for your wedding," replied Angelina as she walked back out the door.

Jacqueline stood quietly and looked Hermione up and down. Then her face lit up with a smile as she asked, "What color do you prefer blue or green?"

Hermione was very confused by the question but she answered, "Blue."

Jacqueline smiled again and pointed, "Go into that room there and get out of your clothes. I'll be back in a second with your dress."

Hermione went into the room and complied with Jacqueline's request. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and a voice from the other side said, "Hermione I have your dress; crack your door so I can hand it to you and then you can try it on."

Hermione opened the door a bit and as she did a beautiful silver gown was passed in. Hermione accepted the gown, handling it as if it were made from glass and would break at the slightest touch. She thought dress was gorgeous. When she had put it on, she looked in the mirror in the change room. The gown sparkled in the light. It had a slit that came to her knees, perfect for dancing she thought; it fit her body perfectly.

She opened the door to find Jacqueline sitting in a chair in the center of the 3 giant mirrors. Jacqueline got up to look at her and said, "Not bad, Hermione, not bad at all."

"Thank you," Hermione smiled, "But why did you ask me about those colors? This dress isn't blue or green."

"I asked you about the colors for what color ribbon you would like in your hair," replied Jacqueline, "Now, come and have a seat in this chair so I can do your hair."

"You want me to sit down in this dress?" Hermione exclaimed, "But won't it wrinkle?"

"Yes Hermione, I want you to sit down," said Jacqueline, "Because this dress is wrinkle proof, dirt proof, stain proof, and spill proof. You can't do any damage to it."

Hermione slowly sat down. Jacqueline turned the chair away from the mirrors, so Hermione could not see what she was doing. As Jacqueline worked they did not speak. Finally Jacqueline said "I'm done."

Jacqueline turned her toward the mirrors and Hermione stared in amazement. Her hair was piled on top of head except for 2 curls that fell to the side of her face. The ribbons were interlaced through her hair.

Hermione, who had lost her voice finally said, "Wow!"

"I'm glad you like it," Jacqueline smiled, "Now, Hermione I'm going to go get Angelina, so she can do your makeup."

As soon as Jacqueline had left, a group of 7 kids came in. They looked at Hermione as she looked back. The tallest was a boy who looked just like Severus. He had hair down to his shoulders and his eyes were a stunning black. The next boy was 2 inches shorter with brown eyes and short black hair. The third guy in line had brown hair tied back into a ponytail; he had blue eyes. Next to him was a girl who had black hair with brown highlights in it. She had blue eyes too. Beside her, the second girl had short brown hair with blond highlights in it. She had brown eyes. The littlest boy had black short hair with brown eyes. The smallest girl held a teddy bear. She had black hair and blue eyes.

The little girl finally broke the silence by saying, "She looks like an angel."

Hermione smiled and said, "Thank you. My name is Hermione Granger, but you may call me 'Mione'."

"Well Mione let me introduce you to every one," Said the tall guy, "I'm Joshua Snape and this is…"

"We can introduce ourselves Josh," said the girl with brown highlights, "I'm Alexandra."

"You two fight more then brother and sisters do," said the guy with short black hair, "I'm Benjamin, and Sev is my dad."

"Wait a moment did you just call professor Snape, Sev?" asked Hermione.

"That's what we all call our uncle," said the boy with the pony tail, "My name is Christopher. These three are Samantha, Zackary, and Julia." He pointed at the remainder of the group.

"Are you and Uncle B. in love?" asked Samantha.

"Well to put it simply no," answered Hermione watching their faces fall, "But we hope to be in love soon."

The girls squealed in delight and the boys made faces of disgust. The door suddenly opened and Angelina walked in.

"Alright everyone out, I need to finish making the Bride lovely," Angelina ordered as she shooed every one out.

As soon as every one had left, Angelina began, "Well let me introduce myself. I'm Angelina Snape, but you may call me Angel."

"I'm Hermione Granger, but you can call me Mione," Hermione said, "Angel would you know what time it is?"

"It is 2 o'clock." Angel answered, "I have an hour to do your makeup before having the wedding photos taken. That should take an hour. Then you walk down the aisle. The ceremony will take 2 hours. Last is the reception and that should last until 8."

"I still can't believe I'm getting married," said an awed Hermione, "I mean this was not how I planned it at all."

"And how did you plan it?" asked Angel.

"Well first, my friends and parents would be here, I would be getting married outside and most important, I would know who I was marrying." Hermione replied a little sadly.

"Well you can cross one of those off your list," said Angel, "Brendan is having the wedding outside by the lake."

"Thanks," said Hermione with a half smile.

"As for Brendan, I think I can help you on that," Angel said as she pulled out a cell phone.

Angel dialed some numbers and put the phone to her ear. She mumbled words into the phone before closing it and looking at Hermione, "He'll be up in a couple minutes to talk."

Hermione smiled and said sincerely, "Thanks so much."

"Hey it's nothing for family," said Angel as she started applying makeup.

Brendan walked up a little while later. He had donned a Geoffrey BeeneSuit. As he entered, Brendan took a moment to look at her. Smiling, he said, "You look lovely Hermione. So what questions did you want to ask me?"

"Well umm…How about, what did you do before the defense against the dark arts job? Why did you switch? Where did you go to school? Why are we wearing Muggle clothes? Do you have to smirk at everything I say?" Hermione finally stopped and took a breath to continue.

"Wait a moment one question at a time," said Brendan with a gentle laugh.

"Before I got the job at Hogwarts I worked on a research project studying the three Unforgivables. I stopped because the project was going nowhere and I figured some time off would do me well. I went to school at Salem Academy for Young Wizards and Witches. We are wearing Muggle clothes because they are comfortable and easier to dance in. As for my smirking; get use to it because I tend to do that a lot."

Before Hermione could ask more questions, Angel said, "Wait I'm almost done."

She applied the last of the makeup. Hermione looked at herself in the mirror. The little makeup Angel had applied worked wonders on Hermione. She looked stunning.

"Well now that you're ready, may I escort you to the dinning hall where our photos will be taken?" asked Brendan, offering his arm to Hermione.

"Yes, you certainly may," replied a smiling Hermione as she placed her hand in the bend of his elbow.
