Discliamer: We Dont Own Anything exept Our Imaginations... Boo
Chapter 7
Everyone Downstairs?!?
By: Cristina Chavez and Lucia Cerritos
Hermione turned around utterly perplexed. She slowly began to remove her eyeliner that had gone array and continued with the rest of the "make-up" process, for sheer glamour she added a charm to her eyshadow that made it shimmer. She then took a step back, looked at herself in the mirror and shrank feverishly to the floor.
What she was experiencing she didn't even know. She was always able to keep her emotions together but the past occurrings with Ron weren't doing her mental state any help. Sure she and Ron always got in rows but rarely over something as dismal, well no they had gotten in rows over small neglected things but this, it wasn't as much as a row so to say but a falling out? Was there a word for behaving recklessly under the influence of jealously, embarrassment, anger, hurt, and stress? If so, it was the perfect opportunity to put it into use.
"Hermione, Hermione we need you, Fleur is lining everybody in the wedding party up and making sure we look flawless."
Ginny spoke to Hermione in quiet hushed tones as if guessing the state she was in, for it was very un-Hermione like to lock herself in the restroom. The one time she had locked herself in the restroom she encountered a troll and since then had lost all pleasure in the activity.
"Yea Ginny I'll be right out, just putting on the final touches," she responded in a fake giddy tone that even she didn't believe. As Ginny's footsteps died away Hermione gathered herself up, fixed her hair and make up and proudly, holding her head up high, walked out of the restroom down to the Burrow's garden.
It was while she was descending the steps of the stairs down to the Wesley's kitchen that she realized, with a horrible jolt in her stomach that Ron would be down there. She knew she had to encounter him at sometime, after all, she did have to walk down the aisle with him later in the day, but so soon after the rather awkward and catastrophic event was not something she was bidding on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pacing was never Ron's thing, but since the war had begun, he had taken to it a lot more out of habit. He usually paced around when he was nervous, and nervous he was. Not just that, though, he just could not quite reach the word that would explain all of his feelings.
He couldn't believe what he had just done. He stopped pacing and stared at the walls in his room. He replayed the scene repeatedly in his head, from the look on Hermione's face when first seeing him to the look on Hermione's face when he snatched the bottle and ran away to his room. She was just in complete shock, with streaks of sadness on her face. Why, just tell why, did I have to go and do that?
"Ron, Fleur wants everyone downstairs to line us up in pairs, now! Ron? Ron?" Harry said, waving his hand in front of Ron's face, and startling him out of his subconscious.
"Oh, sorry, what did you say," he said keeping his focus on his orange wall.
"Fleur wants us downstairs. Ron, are you okay? What just happened?" Harry asked, inquiringly.
Ron merely shook his head and made his way out the door and down the stairs, shortly followed by Harry. He then remembered , happily, that his partner was Gabrielle and he would not have to see Hermione until the actual wedding were he could be extremely "busy".
"'Zer you are, Ronald!" Fleur said, immediately taking Harry and him by the shoulder and standing him behind Harry and Ginny, who seemed to be avoiding each other in a civil way. In front of him were Lamery and Adrien, Fleur's cousin. Behind him, were Fred with Alexandrie, Fleur's other cousin, George with Madeleine, Fleur's friend, Lupin with Tonks, and Charlie with his new girlfriend, Camryn. This sure was a big wedding!
Huh, everyone's here but Gabrielle.
"And were eez Hermione?" Fleur said after fixing them into two lines.
"I think she's still in the bathroom. I'll go get her", Ginny responded before Fleur started having a fit.
What was the need of Hermione being outside she wasn't in the ceremony, she should be helping mum decorate the house, and where was Gabrielle? After all, she was the only one that was missing?
"Uh, Fleur were is Gabrielle? Do you need me to go get her" Ron asked, trying to reassure himself of any worrying thoughts.
"Oh Ronald, 'zer was a little mis'ap, so you weel be 'wiz Hermione. Did I forgeet to tell you?" Fleur responded distractedly, fixing George's cream dress robe.
He felt his face
turning crimson, while Harry turned around to look at him.
"Oh Ronald, you will be with Hermione! Isn't that dandy," Fred and George quickly said, with their partners laughing on.
Why did the world insist on torturing him today? It's like all the forces in the universe formed an alliance against him. Hermione was going to be his partner, and he wouldn't be able to look at her, let alone, walk with her down the aisle. There was no way that she would want to do this!
Hearing steps coming down the stairs he grew red and stalk still. Everyone else turned their attention toward the stairs, getting ready to tease Ron at any moment, When it turned out to be Ginny everyone continued to go on with there conversation.
"She said she'll be down in a minute. She's just finishing her make-up," Ginny said, as a wave of relief flooded him as he noted that it was just his sister.
To Ron's great dismay, footsteps were heard again, but this time everyone ,knowing who it was, ceased conversation immediately. They all, once again, turned their attention to the staircase. Ron held his breath and awaited for Hermione to come down.
Slowly, Hermione could be seen gracefully walking down the stairs.
Wow, She looks amazing, spectacular, gorgeous. Ron gawked at her knowing he looked like an idiot.
The gold and cream dress fit her perfectly. It went up to her knees in an a kind of formal way. It wasn't strapless, but it was just a braid that held the two sides together. Her hair was pulled up into and elegant bun, with curls flowing out to her face and her back. All of the other bridesmaids were wearing the same dress, but it just popped on her.
Ron looked at her face and noticed the makeup, which was completely redone. Ron, then, noticed that their were tear streaks on her rosy cheeks. Look at what you did, genius!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok Breathe, Breathe stay calm. Look at the pretty flowers.
Hermione found her way over to Ron determinably not looking at him.
"Azright evry one grab your partners by thee hand and letts walk en a straight line."
Fluer's voice was heard throught out the entire lawn. While everyone around them began interlocking fingers Ron and Hermione stayed completely coffin like still.
