Chapter 20
It was finally here, the day she would be tied to someone forever, the love of her life. It was 8am and Ginny and Leah had already barged into her room to get her ready.
"Up!" Leah shouted as she pulled the covers off Hermione. Sam had been banished to Luna's with Jacob for the night and she hadn't slept very well without him.
"Leah the wedding isn't for another six hours!" Hermione moaned.
"Exactly, that is hardly enough time," Ginny retorted as she pulled her friend out of bed. Hermione sleepily followed but squeaked when they threw her into the shower.
"You have ten minutes!" Ginny shouted.
Just as they instructed she finished her shower in fifteen minutes and emerged in only her bathrobe. Ginny dragged her into the living room where her bridesmaids were waiting. Molly and Minerva were also waiting there for her with teary smiles on their faces.
"I'm so proud of you Miss Granger," Minerva smiled. Hermione started to tear up but pushed them down as hard as she could. Before she knew it she was pushed down into a chair and hands were in her face and hair, pulling and pushing things this way and that.
"Damn this hair of yours Hermione!" Ginny growled as she tried taming the wild locks. Hermione had been neglecting her hair for a while so it now reached her lower back. Luna was busy doing her make-up while Leah was in charge of nails.
"We're going to go make sure the guys are setting up properly," Molly said as they left the house with a pop. A few hours later they had finally tamed Hermione's hair into neat curls that cascaded down her back. Luna had only applied natural coloured make-up but did outline Hermione's eyes with a dark brown that made them pop!
They had lunch but soon enough 1pm rolled around, only an hour until the wedding!
"Hermione breath," Luna commanded quietly as Hermione stopped breathing.
"Oh I can't do this," Hermione moaned causing everyone to look at her in alarm, "I'm going to be a horrible wife and I'm probably going to trip down the isle and-"
"Hermione shut up," Luna laughed.
"Yeah Hermione," Leah continued, "You are going to be a fantastic wife and you are not going to trip down the isle, your name isn't Bella."
Bella blushed bright red at Leah's sneer but nodded her head in agreement. Hermione's nerves were calming slightly but they were still there, she guessed they would be until she finally said 'I do'.
"Come on dear," Sue smiled, "Time for the dress."
They pulled out the dress and Hermione sighed, it was perfect for her.

She carefully slipped the dress on and turned to look at Leah, Ginny, Bella and Luna who were all wearing matching red dresses. Luna's dress was blue because of her old House colour and because she was Hermione's maid of honour.

"It's time," Sue said as they lead Hermione out of the house. Just as they were about to exit Hermione stopped with wide eyes.
"No one is giving me away. My father…," she trailed off. Tears sprung to her eyes but she wouldn't let them fall in case she ruined Luna's work on her face.
"Is there anyone else honey?" Sue asked.
"Harry, I need Harry," she whimpered.
"Which one?" Leah asked.
"My Harry," Ginny said before apparating away. Hermione's hands were shaking in the effort to not cry. She had always dreamed that her father would give her away at her wedding and it broke her heart that he couldn't and it was all her fault.
"Hermione?" Harry asked as he popped in. He was wearing a plain black dress pants and shirt and a red tie. He approached his best friend and wrapped her up in a hug. She embraced him back and trembled against him.
"It's okay," he said. When she calmed down he pulled away to hold her at arms length.
"Merlin you look gorgeous," he smiled, "Ginny said something was wrong and that I needed to help? What do you need me to do?"
"Walk me down the isle?" Hermione whispered. Harry was shocked and touched as a lone tear fell down his face.
"I would be honoured," he grinned. Sue smiled before Minerva and Molly suddenly approached them.
"Before you go Miss Granger, you must follow the four traditions," she said.
"Something old," Sue said with a smile as she gestured to Hermione's earrings that Sue had given her. They were Sue's mothers wedding earrings and Sue was saving her won for when Leah got married.
"Something new, from George and…Fred," Molly chocked as she pulled out a diamond tiara from behind her back. Fred and George had made it back when Hermione was in fifth year. They hadn't told anyone bar Molly and Arthur about it. They had made another one for Ginny first for when she got married and then created one for Hermione, after all they considered Hermione a sister and wanted to give her something to remember them by. Hermione gasped when she heard Fred's name and fingered the tiara carefully.
'Thank you Fred,' she thought with a smile and she swore the wind picked up around her somewhat for a few seconds.
"Something borrowed," Leah said with a smile as she handed Hermione a small broach of a dark wooden wolf. Hermione grinned and pinned it in the center of her chest. It looked slightly out of place but Hermione didn't care, she thought it was wonderful.
"And something…well it's not blue," Minerva smiled as she handed Hermione a small package, "You are still a Gryffindor after all."
Hermione opened the package and pulled out a red garter. She grinned and quickly asked Luna to help her slip it on under the dress.
"Thank you, all of you," Hermione smiled. The girls nodded before Minerva and Molly took Sue away to the wedding area. Suddenly four males and a female came running up to them in black suits with white ties though they somehow all misplaced their jackets. Kim was wearing a red dress as well though it wasn't in the same style as the others.
"We are here to escort you lovely ladies to the wedding," Jacob said with a smile. They quickly escorted all the girls to three cars and piled inside them. Once they arrived at their destination they all got out of the car. Hermione stared over the vast scenery with a smile, remembering exactly how they chose this place.
"Honey, where do you want the wedding to be held?" Sam asked. Hermione was reading on the couch when he came in. she looked at him with a surprised face before sitting up. He sat next to her and she snuggled into his side.
"Honestly I am not too sure," she whispered.
"How about that school of yours?" he suggested, "You said it was like a second home to you."
"Well it is and I would absolutely love to have my wedding at Hogwarts but there are a few problems. See I am quite famous in the Magical world purely because I was a major part in the defeat of Voldemort, remember him? Anyway the reporters from the paper would be there and I don't want them finding out your secret and you wouldn't have anyone patrolling here if that were to be the case. Charlie doesn't know I am a witch so I couldn't take him there and he would never let me marry without him there.
"I have also always had the feeling that it's Harry's right to have his wedding at Hogwarts, I know he want to do it there because it was the first place he ever called home and I think he deserves it," she explained.
"That's true but if we were to have it somewhere here then wouldn't the paper people want to come here, that might be an even bigger risk?"
She thought for a moment and then it clicked.
"Luna's father owns a magazine. If he comes and does a story on it then they can sell it to the paper and it will be fine, and we will have a lot of back-up to ward off any unwanted guests," she smiled.
"Alright then where should we have it?"
"I don't know," Hermione frowned, "Oh how about the beach?"
"Perfect," he grinned as he leaned down to kiss her.
"I do want to see Hogwarts again though, would you mind if we spent our honeymoon there?" she asked tentatively
"I would love it," he smiled. He couldn't deny her anything and he truthfully did want to see the place where she grew up and the place she once called her home. Hermione grinned in excitement before jumping off the couch.
"Ill send a note to the Headmistress along with her invitation, she will surely accommodate us even though it will be the Christmas holidays," she grinned. Sam watched as she scuttled away to write her let with a loving smile on his face, he couldn't believe that she would be his wife soon, the thought made him happier than anything he had ever felt before.
So here she was looking over at first beach with the soft wind playing with her hair. Today was the 19th of December, the day she was getting married.
"You ready?" Harry asked. Hermione nodded as she held onto his outstretched arm. The stairs leading down to the beach were entwined with white vines and on the beach itself leading from the stairs to around the corner off a cliff face where the entire wedding was being held. The bridesmaids and groomsmen paired off as Kim grabbed Hermione's train.
They descended the stairs with Hermione and Harry as the last pair. As they walked along the path they came to a straight stretch after they turned the corner of the cliff that towered above them.
The music started and Hermione's breath hitched as she saw Sam standing yards away looking as handsome as the day she had met him. The music was playing so everyone could hear it. Time slowed down as Hermione made he long walk to her fiancé.
Heart beats fast One step closer
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
She could clearly see his face now, their eyes connected.
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Hermione couldn't stop grinning, this was her time, the time where she would become forever happy. Time stands still One step closer
Beauty in all he is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
Sam looked at his approaching fiancé, soon-to-be-wife, with a loving grin, this was it. I have died everyday waiting for you And all along I believed I would find you One step closer
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
This was the start of the rest of their lives.
One step closer
Together.
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
They were so close now that the bridesmaids and groomsmen started to separate to separate sides of the alter. They lines up and looked as Harry and Hermione made the final steps. Kim placed down the train and went to sit next to Sue in the audience. And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
The music stopped and Harry turned Hermione to look at him.
"Alive you Hermione," he said with a teary smile, "Be happy."
Hermione gave her friend and brother a tight hug before pulling away. Harry gently grabbed her hand and lifted it to place it in Sam's much larger hand. He slowly backed away from the couple but not before giving Sam the two fingered 'I'm-watching-you' gesture. Harry went to sit with the rest of the people as they all sat from their standing positions.
Hermione looked up into Sam's eyes and all her nerves seemed to just wash away.
"We are all gathered here today to celebrate the coming together of Sam Joshua Uley and Hermione Jane Granger," Harry Clearwater smiled. He was the one chosen to marry them as they wanted someone special to both of them and they couldn't think of anyone better than him.
"The rings please?" he called. a small three-year-old boy started walking down the isle lead by his grandmother. Hermione's eyes watered at the sight of him, oh how she had missed her godson. Teddy looked nervous but when he saw Hermione he grinned. He brought the ring up to them and held out the pillow. Sam smiled at the boy and patted him on the head as he took one ring.
"Good work Teddy," Hermione whispered as she too took one ring. Andromeda led Teddy to their seats and Harry proceeded with the wedding. They read out their vows and exchanged their rings with barely contained excitement and happiness.
"Sam you may now kiss your bride!" Harry announced and Sam wasted no time in leaning down to kiss his wife. The crowd cheered loudly and the new couple pulled away and looked at everyone with a grin. Everyone started heading back to Sue's place where tents and a dance floor had been set up in her backyard (like a cross between Edward and Bella's wedding and Bill and Fleur's).
Charlie and Billy signed their marriage contract as witnesses and as soon as the muggles left Minerva and a few others took down the wedding area in a few minutes.
Sam took Hermione to Sue's in his car and as they got out they were greeted by their friends. Their reception was amazing and when it came to the father daughter dance Hermione decided that she wanted Hagrid to dance with her. The half-giant was so touched that he started blubbering as soon as they finished dancing.
Speeches were made and embarrassing stories were told, especially when it came to Leah.
"I know I can be a little harsh, especially when it comes to Sam," she glared at him, "I know Hermione deserves happiness and as much as I hate to say it Sam but you make her extremely happy. Hermione I only have one thing to say to you. If you don't use the present I gave you will force you into it and shove you both into a cupboard."
Sam looked confused while Hermione just turned bright red and moaned into her hands. Ginny was laughing quietly while the other girls that were there that night smiled.
The rest of the night went smoothly and before they knew it the time had come to toss the bouquet. All the unmarried/engaged ladies crowded behind Hermione who was laughing. She turned around and used all her might to throw the flowers behind her. She heard scuffling as she turned around but saw a stunned Alex Napoleon holding the flowers.
"Yes!" Paul shouted. He had told Alex all about the imprinting thing two days after he had imprinted and she had taken it surprisingly well. Apparently she has had a lot of bad boyfriends and this would cause a lot less heartache though she wasn't ready for a relationship with him yet, they were taking things slow.
Next it was time for Sam to throw the garter. The unmarried/engaged men crowded around in front of Hermione who had one foot perched on a chair. Sam was kneeling in front of her with a large grin. Hermione was bright faced and was holding her dress slightly up.
Sam slowly took off her shoe and trailed one hand up her leg.
"Use your teeth man!" someone shouted, it sounded like Jared or Ron she couldn't be sure because of the blood pounding in her ears. Sam looked up at her with a raised brow asking permission and all Hermione could do was nod.
Soon Sam's head disappeared under her dress and emerged moments later with a red garter in between his teeth. Cat calls and whistles erupted in the room as Sam stood up. He closed his eyes and threw it in the group's general direction. He heard a few 'whoops' and groans and opened his eyes.
Standing off to the left of the group was Neville Longbottom holding the bright red garter. Daphne came over to him and kissed her boyfriend on the cheek with a large grin.
After a few more dances it was time for the happy couple to leave. Minerva came up to them and embraced them both.
"There will still be a few students left in the castle Miss Granger but they won't bother you. Just think of the room you want in the Room of Requirement that is where you shall be staying. I will see you there tomorrow morning dear, now go," she explained.
Hermione grabbed Sam's hand as they went out to the car. They were going to drive back home and apparate from there as to not freak Charlie and a few other out with their disappearing act.
When they arrived at Hogwarts Sam couldn't hold back anymore. He picked up his wife and spun her around in circles as he kissed her. It was night time and the grounds were dark so Hermione decided that they needed to get inside, it was cold after all.
As she went to walk inside Sam picked her up again and walked inside the castle.
"I have to take my lady over the threshold now don't I," he grinned. Hermione just laughed and directed him on which way to go. On their way to the seventh floor Hermione laughed every time a portrait congratulated them and Sam freaked out, the moving staircases didn't help much.
Soon they came to the corridor the room was located on and Sam was now even more confused.
"Wasn't there supposed to be a room here?" he asked. Hermione grinned and paced back and forth three times and Sam almost shouted when a large doorway appeared on the wall.
Hermione opened the doors and led Sam inside. The room was very nice, almost an exact replica of their house although slightly fancier. Instead of just creating a room for them it had created a whole living area. There was a bathroom, living room, bedroom and a kitchen.
"This is amazing," Sam gasped. Hermione grinned and Sam took this chance to kiss her. The room was dark with only very few lights on and Hermione felt something welling up inside her. Their kiss became more heated and passionate as Sam subconsciously led them up to the bedroom. He fumbled with the doorknob as Hermione tore off his jacket. He gently pushed her into the room and closed the door behind him.
Tonight it was just him and his wife creating the first day of the rest of their lives.
