Chapter 7: Rehearsal
Allison POV…
I was running late as I ran from my office down to the main floor so I can leave. The rehearsal for the wedding was going to start in about an hour and I still had to go home and change before I could make it down to the hall were the wedding was going to take place.
After I made through the doors of St. Mungo, I apparated to my flat. It was a good thing I knew what I was going to wear tonight. I jump in the shower real quick. I grab my over night bag because I would be staying with Lily and Rose at Lily's parents' house, so it will be easier to get ready tomorrow. I make it to the hall with fifteen minutes to spare.
"Ally, there you are?" Lily shouted from across the room where everyone in the wedding would meet. I saw everyone was there even Albus, who was late most of the time for the past month.
"Sorry. I had to Work." I said out of breath. Lily nodded.
"Can you please go and stand by Al." Lily gave me her look, which told everyone she meant it. I made my way over to Albus, who was wearing black dress robes. It looked like he tried to do something with his hair for tonight or it was his sister or mother. "Okay," Everyone turn to Lily. "Lorcan, you are going to come in with Mr. King." Lorcan nodded but I don't think she saw because he was standing right next to her. "When the music starts Remus and Dora are going to walk down with the rings and flower. Then Rose and Lysander you are going to go first and right behind them Ally and Al are going to go." We all nodded. Lily turned to her dad. "Then the music will change and Dad, you and I are going to walk down the aisle. Everyone knows what going to happen." Everyone nodded. No one said anything.
"When did Lily turn into a general?" Albus whispers in my ear.
I covered my mouth so Lily would not see me laughing. "I don't know." I whisper back.
Mrs. Potter came in the room. "Is everyone ready?" We nodded. Two small heads poked in from behind Mrs. Potter legs. "Okay. Let's get started."
We walked out to the hall. Lorcan walked in first into the room where we were having the wedding. Mrs. Potter came up and put us in line like we were five years olds. I saw Albus give his mother a frown as she passed us. She took Dora's and Remus' hands and led them to the door. She got down on one knee and told them what to do. They walked in.
She looked over Rose and Lysander, who smiled at her. "Now Rose and Lysander you can go. Al and Ally go right after them." We nodded and followed behind them.
I felt the tension that was between Albus and me. I tried to walk as far away from him because I didn't want to see his smile that he had on. We finally broke apart when we reached the front. He gave me a smile that I would only know what it meant.
"What was that all about?" Rose asked me as she leans over to me.
"Nothing," I said as I faced the door to watch Lily and her father walk down the aisle. I took a glance at Lorcan to he was smiling. When Lily got to his side, he kissed her.
"Now we don't want any of that." Mr. King said. Lorcan and Lily both blushed. It took forever to make sure it was going to be right. Mrs. Potter had her say in it, I think she would have more to say but Mr. Potter stops her most of the time.
When we ran out of time, that was when Dora and Remus were sleeping in the chairs by Mrs. Potter and Lily finally yelled at her mother telling her everything is going to go okay. I have never seen any of the Potter children yells at their mother that way. I saw Rose was trying not to laugh; I looked away quickly because both of us would have been laughing. Mrs. Potter left and Mr. Potter followed after her. Albus woke the children and we left to get something to eat.

Albus POV…
We entered Hugo's restaurant for dinner, the hostess show us to a private dinning room. Everyone else was there by the time we got there. Hugo was making his mum try something he made. Aunt Hermione was trying to tell him that she didn't want to. The rest of the Weasley were scattered around the room, talking to each other. Grandmum was telling Lucy that they should have dinner at the Burrow. My cousin just nodded her head to agree with her.
Uncle Percy talking to Uncle Ron about the Ministry, Uncle Ron looked bored, I could see he was eyeing the snack table that was behind Uncle Percy. Some of my aunts were talking in a corner; they kept looking at Lily. Aunt Luna and Uncle Rolf were talking to Granddad, who was telling them about something muggle.
Dad and James were getting drinks; James was telling Dad about how England wanted him for the world cup. Mum and Lily were talking about the last minute details. Rose went to her husband after she got a drink; Scorpius was happy to see her and gave her Skylar, who was watching everyone. I saw Allison getting something to drink; I made my way over to her.
"So, who wedding is this, my mother's or Lily's?" I asked her as a got a drink for myself.
Allison looked over to my mother and Lily who were fighting in the corner. "Right now, it's both because Lily is telling her mum that this is her wedding and it is going to go her way." We laughed about it. We talk about what is going to happen tomorrow, we come up with things that could wrong and whose head is going to go further. My money is on my mum, but Allison is on Lily.
"You want to bet on it?" I put out my hand. "Let's say one galleon." Allison shakes my hand. Before Allison can say something, we are called to take our seats.
After we took our seats, we were next to Lorcan who sat in the middle next to Lily. On Lily other side was Rose and Lysander. Everyone else took a seat at one of the many tables that were in the room.
Lily stood up with Lorcan at her side. "We would all like to thank you all for coming." Lily said. "Now let eat." Everyone laughed and the waiters started to bring in the food.
"How do we decide who's wedding it is?" Allison looked around to make sure that no one was listening.
"At the reception we will see there." I told her. We talked quietly to each other for the rest of dinner.
After dinner, Lily said good-bye to Lorcan, then took Rose, who was telling her mother last minutes details about Skylar. Allison left my side and walked over to Lily and Rose who left with my parents. After that everyone thought it was time to leave. I went to stand by the door to wait for Lorcan and Lysander; they were saying good-bye to their parents. We were going back to Lorcan's flat with some other guys and have some more fun then this.
"Ready." Lorcan said to me. I nodded and we left so Hugo's staff could clean up.
