Disclaim: Here I am, disclaiming.
Weddings!
It bounced off of her and hit the Dark Wizard. Hermione held a hand to her forehead, where she felt a lightning-shaped scar.
Remus stood. "That's impossible!" Sirius yelled.
"How are you alive?" Hermione asked.
"I'm… not sure. How are you alive?"
"You. Now Avada me. Someone."
"What?" Remus screamed.
"Avada her!" Ginny yelled, "Voldemort has a horcrux in her, now! Kill it! She'll be alright."
"I love you, Hermione Granger. Avada Kadevra!" The green light hurtled towards Hermione and hit her straight in the chest. She twisted in the air and landed with a 'thump' on the cold ground.
She stood up and hugged Remus, "I love you, too. Thank you. Now, we know how I'm alive, but I don't know how you are."
"It seems that your lycanthrope has vanished," Madam Pomfrey said. "This has never happened before, I can't explain—"
"But I can," said Dumbledore. "What happened was that Mister Lupin, acting unselfishly, tried to sacrifice his own life for Miss Granger's. The werewolf instinctively died, protecting him."
"Moony is no longer with me?"
"No, he still is. You just won't turn into a werewolf, monthly. Talk to him."
Moony? You alright?
Yeah. I am, thanks for asking.
"He's good." Hermione smiled at her boyfriend. They now shared identical lightning-shaped scars because of his sacrifice.
"Let's get married," Remus suggested.
"Good plan," Hermione said, simply, reaching up to kiss him.
"Join the club!" Lily squealed, pulling Hermione along to their little group (Ginny was engaged to Sirius, Lily to James, and now Hermione to Remus).
"What'd you do, mate?" James joked
"Ginny, when we met, I did not think that one day I'd be marrying you. I thought, 'hey, there's some creepy half-ghost following me'." Everyone laughed. "As time went on and you were stalking me," he smiled, "I found that you are the wittiest person that I've ever met. I knew then and there that you are the one for me. You are me other half. I promise to protect you and love you. I promise to never let go."
"Sirius, I always knew you to be playboy, heartthrob, and devilishly handsome. When I came here, I was forced to talk to you. I learned that you are only a playboy on the outside. Inside, you are sweet and caring. You cherish friendship and hate to be lonely. I promise to keep you entertained so that you aren't ever lonely. I promise to use my wit to keep you on your toes. Most importantly, I promise to," she leaned forward and whispered into his ears. His eyes widened, as did his smile. Everyone laughed, as it wasn't hard to guess what Ginny was saying, and it was typical of the pair.
"Do you, Sirius Orion Black, take Ginevra Molly Weasley to be your bride?" the Ministry official asked.
"I do." His smile had never been larger. An orange light shot from the Ministry official's wand, wrapping around Sirius and Ginny's hands. The orange was representative of Sirius and his energy, warmth, enthusiasm, appetite, flamboyancy, and demand for attention.
"And do you, Ginevra Molly Weasley, take Sirius Orion Black to be your husband?" the Ministry official asked.
"I do." A green light jumped out and wrapped around the orange one. It represented Ginny's health, luck, youth, vigor, generosity, and fertility.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the—oh," the Ministry official stopped because it was like the bride and groom were let out of their cages and were snogging. Everyone laughed except Molly Weasley, who was crying, and Dorea Potter, who was sniffling.
Sirius and Ginny stopped snogging and grasped one another's hands, swaggering down the aisle. Hermione and James, the Maid of Honor and the Best Man, followed. Hermione wore a powder blue dress. Following them was Lily and Remus. After that was Dorcas (Meadows) and Regulus. Regulus had recently reconnected with Sirius.
It was raining outside. The drops hit the windows and made 'pang' noises. Hermione sighed, resting her head on Remus's chest. After graduation, Remus, Hermione, James, Lily, Sirius, and Ginny moved in together.
Ginny stood up, wanting to get out of the room and get her blood flowing. She went downstairs. Their flat was right on Diagon Alley, which was nice. Deciding to get some ice cream, she Accioed her rain jacket and ventured out.
"Weasley?" she heard. Turning around, Ginny saw a boy about her age. He looked exactly like Sirius, other than the fact that his face was bloodied and his voice was weak. She recognized him, immediately.
"Regulus? Is that you?"
"Yeah. My parents… they were sure that the Dark Lord was returning. They wanted me to… they wanted me to find and kill the Granger girl, thinking that it would aid His return. I told them that I wouldn't. They beat me and I just escaped. Please," and with the last word, his knees buckled and Ginny caught him.
Dorcas was a friend of Sirius's and they needed another bridesmaid. Hermione and Ginny had made good friends with Lily and Dorcas since the war ended.
Ginny reconnected with her family. That was why Molly and Arthur Weasley were watching the daughter that they'd known for less than 2 months become a Black.
"I do," James said. A purple light swirled, representing nobility, mystery, transformation (James's transformation from an egotistical toerag to someone that Lily would actually marry), wisdom, enlightenment, and arrogance.
"And do you, Lily Marie Evans, take James Charlus Potter to be your husband?"
"I do." A blue light joined the purple. It represented peace, tranquility, calmness, stability, harmony, unity, trust, truth, confidence, conservatism, security, cleanliness, order, and loyalty, all traits possessed by Lily.
Next to Lily was Dorcas in an emerald green dress. Next to Dorcas was Hermione and Ginny. Next to James was Sirius, Remus, and Regulus.
The gold light swirled. The color represented Remus's masculine energy, his compassion, wisdom, knowledge, wealth, and royalty. He was, after all, a descendant of Gryffindor. "I do," Hermione said. The scarlet light representing passion, desire, speed, strength, power, heat, love, aggression, danger, and fire merged with the gold. Remus and Hermione smiled at each other—the colors matched their wedding.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," the ministry official said as Remus and Hermione kissed. "Lord and Lady Gryffindor."
Ginny stood next to Hermione in red and gold. Sirius stood by Remus.
