Chapter Twenty Five: Wedding Bells
The dark sky turned bright and a sunny day awoke…March disappeared, and Cianna returned. She wasn't greeted with welcome arms, but she was hoping to patch up her friendship with Cho…she apologized, but it wasn't quite enough…but it was almost working…April came, and Cianna and Cho were old friends again. Cho realized how stupid she was.
'Cianna isn't the angel of darkness! I must have been really thick to even think she was…'
Then, May arrived bringing warm, crisp spring air, flowers blossoming, bees buzzing merrily, as well as two big events. Whitney and Alyssia's wedding and the Quidditch final, Gryffindor versus Slytherin. The wedding was to be held before the match. Draco and Tom were up to their necks in arrangements and invitations. The event was to take place May 10th. Invitations were to be handed out May 3rd, and a practice rehearsal would be held on May 8th. Today was May 3rd, and Whitney, Alyssia, Draco, and Tom were flitting through corridors giving out invitations. Cho, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Liam, Akira, Ginny, and Alexa were walking down a hall to Gryffindor tower when they saw Whitney and Tom not too far ahead. Also with them were Alyssia and Malfoy. Whitney spotted Cho then motioned her three companions over to her friend's group.
"Hi Cho. Since you're a bridesmaid, of course you get an invitation…And so do Hermione, and Akira…we need two more bridesmaids…Alexa, Ginny, would you be so kind to do that for us?" Whitney said sweetly.
"Sure." Ginny said enthusiastically.
"Alright…" Alexa agreed.
Alyssia had come over. Whitney started handing out invitations to Hermione, Ron, Alexa, and Ginny. Alyssia shifted through a basket of envelopes she was holding and pulled out a stack and handed them to Cho, Akira, Harry, and Liam. Draco and Tom had walked over now.
"'Lyss, may I ask why you're inviting them?" Malfoy asked politely.
"Draco, they're coming to our wedding and Ginny and Alexa will be our last bridesmaids that we need, and Cho, Akira, and Hermione will be Whitney's bridesmaids…" Alyssia explained.
"But-" Malfoy started.
"No buts, they're going whether you like it or not! They're very nice people. But if you're too thick to realize that, I'll personally call off our wedding." Alyssia replied firmly.
Malfoy fell silent and pouted. Alyssia smirked at him then returned to talk with Cho.
"Thank you so much! We'll see you there!!! The invitation will tell you what to wear! Bye!" Alyssia called, as she dragged Malfoy to a crowd of oncoming students.
"See you later!" Whitney said, following her friend.
Tom silently followed Whitney, not saying anything to the group of friends.
"Hey, Cho! I have an idea! Since you and Cianna are friends again, maybe she could be another bridesmaid for Alyssia!" Ginny suggested.
"I'll ask…" Cho said.
"No, I'll do it…save you the trouble…" Ginny said brightly.
"Thanks. You're so sweet, you know!" Cho commented.
Ginny ran off down the hall, and spotted Cianna coming down some stairs.
"CIANNA! HEY, CIANNA! WAIT UP!!!" She shouted, running through the packed hallway, her bag swinging wildly on her back, bumping students that were walking nearby.
"Come on…she'll be fine…let's go…we really got too much homework today…" Cho said, dragging them along.
"Er…ok…" the others said uncertainly.
Cho dragged them all back to Gryffindor Tower. They stayed there the rest of the afternoon. Akira and Liam were struggling with their homework. Since their OWLs were coming up the following month, they had been assigned a truckload of homework. Akira was tapping the end of her quill against her forehead in frustration and running her fingers through her hair.
"Augh! That's it! These stupid OWLs! I'm going to crack any second now! These people are-must be smoking some pot or something!" Akira wailed, tipping her ink bottle all over her just written essay.
Akira screamed in anger and took a moment to save her energy. Hermione took out her wand and muttered a spell and the ink disappeared, leaving the words Akira has written on her paper intact. Akira looked astonished and hugged Hermione.
"You're the best friend ever! You've saved me!!!" Akira exclaimed.
"Aki. Chill out. Everyone's starting to think you're…odd." Cho said.
"Well of course I'm odd! We're all odd! This school is odd! We're all odd, but in cool ways!" Akira replied.
Cho shrugged and returned to her essay and wrote the last sentence and caught Harry peeking over her shoulder.
"Hey! It's my work! No cheating!" Cho scolded playfully.
"Oh come on! Just this once!" Harry complained.
Cho sighed and pushed her essay toward him.
"Thanks." Harry replied, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"This once. Only. And I mean only." Cho said.
Harry nodded in understanding and Cho turned away. Moments later the sound of a quill scratching eagerly across a piece of parchment. Akira was helping Liam with some notes and Cianna had come into the common room and plopped down next to Hermione, dropping her bag with a loud thud.
"Hi Cianna!" The group said eagerly.
"Oh hi." Cianna replied, sounding a little breathless.
"What's up?" Cho asked. "You sound a little winded, that's all…"
"Well, Ginny asked me if I wanted to be one of Alyssia's bridesmaids…" Cianna replied.
"And…?" Cho, Hermione, and Akira asked interestedly.
"I turned it down." Cianna finished.
"WHAT?!" The three girls exclaimed.
"I really don't see myself as that type of person to be at a wedding…I mean, it's just…not me…I'm not very much of a social person…" Cianna admitted.
"But you will still go won't you?" Akira asked.
"Yes. I will attend. Whitney handed me an invitation in the hall. But I won't be going as a bridesmaid. But a guest." Cianna answered.
"Speaking of invitations, we haven't opened ours…" Cho said.
They all dug into their bags and took out white sealed envelopes with shining gold lettering with each of their names stamped on it. Cianna also took out her invitation. There was a loud ripping noise as all of them opened their envelopes and taking out a card inside.
"'Dear Cho Chang,
Congratulations! You are cordially invited to attend Whitney and Thomas Felton's wedding as bridesmaid! You are also welcome to attend Alyssia Rosiak and Draco Malfoy's wedding as well. The dress you are to wear is to be a baby pink muggle gown, sequins if you desire. Upon your entry to the Great Hall on the day of the wedding, you will receive a small bouquet of pink and white roses. The flower girl will come out and show the way to the altar. You will have a formation. You are to be on Harry's arm, and walk forward. In alphabetical order by first name, your sister Akira is first with Liam on her arm, then you, and then Hermione. Whitney and her father will walk down the aisle together, once you reach the altar, turn right and stand on the small steps that will be there. This will all be explained on May 8th when we do the practice run…Alyssia's bridesmaids will be on the left…anyway, we can't give away too much about our plans! We hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Whitney & Tom Felton, Alyssia Rosiak & Draco Malfoy'" Cho read silently.
"Cool." Hermione said.
"This sucks!" Akira complained.
"Well you wanted to be bridesmaid, so for that, you have to walk first!" Cho replied.
"I wish my name was Yuri…or something that came at the end of the alphabet…so that way I wouldn't be first…" Akira said, frowning.
"Well…it isn't that bad…at least we'll be the first one's to get it done and over with…Less time for us to do anything stupid…" Liam said.
"True…" Akira agreed.
She shrugged it off and let it pass. There was silence for a while. But it wasn't silent for long…Lavender and Parvati bustled into the common room.
"Hey! Everyone participating in the wedding get into the Great Hall now!" Lavender announced.
"Cho! Akira! Hermione! Come on! We've got to go!" Parvati said, sharply.
"You three guys come too." Lavender said.
The six abandoned their homework and Cianna. But she didn't stay alone for long. She ran off to the Great Hall, making up her mind that she wanted to be at this wedding after all…not as a guest, but as a bridesmaid.
Everyone was out of breath when they reached the Great Hall. Whitney and Alyssia ran over to Cho, Akira, and Hermione.
"We're going to get you three fitted for your bridesmaid gowns. Ginny already got hers. And Alexa just got finished…" Whitney said.
Cianna came down the stairs and walked over to Alyssia.
"I have reconsidered my decision…Ginny asked me to be one of your bridesmaids, and I turned it down, but now I have decided to accept the offer." She said.
"Great!!! Just get Minh, ok?" Alyssia replied.
Cianna ran off, up the steps, and out of sight. Cho felt herself become rather cross, as did those around her. They still hadn't forgotten what he had done in March at the Quidditch match. A few minutes passed and Cianna returned with Minh by her side. They both strode over.
"We're back." Cianna said.
Cho turned away, avoiding Minh's eyes. He too turned away. Cianna spotted this and was confused.
"What's up with you two avoiding each other? You both are friends, aren't you?" Cianna asked.
"Well, I don't believe Minh has told you. In March at the Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw match, I beat up their keeper because he was harassing me…" Cho began.
"And I took it personally, and I started yelling at her, and she yelled back, then I hit her." Minh finished.
The two both looked away again.
"Minh! I don't believe you! It's not like you! And you broke the sacred law!" Cianna exclaimed.
"What sacred law?" Minh asked.
"The one that says that boys can't hit girls." Akira answered coldly.
"Oh yeah, that one…well that means girls can't hit guys!" Minh replied.
"Yes we can." Cianna, Akira, Cho, Hermione, Alyssia, and Whitney answered.
"Why?" Minh questioned fiercely.
"Uhh…" Akira said.
"Er…" said Hermione.
"Um…" Alyssia said.
"I don't know…" said Whitney.
"It's because we can. We're allowed to because we deal with so much more pain in our lives, emotionally and physically, than any man has…except those who have suffered great losses in their lives, that is…" Cho replied, glancing at Harry as she said the last part.
"Makes sense…" Cianna, Akira, Hermione, Alyssia, and Whitney agreed.
Minh took a deep breath and shut his eyes for a minute, then walked over to Cho. He took another breath, and cleared his throat.
"Look, I'm sorry…for what I did at the match…I know it's taken me forever to come out in the open and say this, but I guess, I was…I don't know…afraid…to say anything…and I just couldn't get the courage to say it when I saw you in the halls…I knew I should've said it sooner, but I couldn't…It wasn't like me…or even a Ravenclaw…and I'm sorry about what I said about you and your family…I'm sorry…" He said quietly.
Cho stared at him for what seemed like an eternity. Her eyes narrowed and she looked into his eyes with such a piercing gaze, it was like she was searching for his soul.
"I don't want you to expect being a friend again in an instant…I'm still not sure I can fully accept you as a friend…but if you do anything, or say anything again like that, well, you don't want to know what I'll do…" She said finally.
Minh had been expecting the worst, and was surprised at her answer.
"Uh…so about those dresses…" Whitney said nervously, ushering the girls away to a small curtained area.
Alyssia followed. Alexa came out and was holding a pink dress over her arm. She didn't say a word, but merely went upstairs to the common room. Cho walked into the curtained room and saw several four-legged stools.
"Ok, everyone get on a stool, and we'll start designing your dresses…but we won't be able to do anything if you all are wearing your uniforms…" Alyssia said.
"Which means…" Whitney added.
The girls nodded and they all were in their underclothes in minutes.
"Ok…great…you knew what I meant…" Alyssia said nervously.
"Ok, we'll start with you, Hermione…" Whitney said.
They both walked over and took out a roll of measuring tape, and then they took a loose gown and put it over her head, and started putting pins into place.
"What do you think?" Alyssia asked.
The loose gown turned into a beautiful dress and Hermione's eyes glowed.
"I love it!" Hermione replied.
Hermione quickly dressed and left the tent and waited patiently outside. Alyssia and Whitney then proceeded to Cho. The curtain opened and two figures walked in. All of the girls screamed. Malfoy and Tom had walked in.
"AHH!!! GET OUT! GET OUT! OUT! NOW!" Cianna screeched.
"Draco! What're you doing?! Out!!! Get out of here!!!" Alyssia shouted.
Both of the guys were blushing, and Cianna was going insane. She curled herself into a curtain, and covered herself up. Akira didn't care and ran toward both of guys and shoved them out, also falling out of the entrance and into the Great Hall herself. Liam, Ron, and Harry saw Malfoy and Tom fall out, and snickered. Akira had fallen on the floor in front of the two boys and she stood up, forgetting that Harry, Ron, and Liam were outside the curtained room. When she noticed them, she flushed red. Liam was staring, but also blushing. Harry and Ron had turned away. The curtain opened again and Cho had walked out, wearing a thin lace-like robe over her underclothes, and she was holding another one, and wrapped it around her sister and ushered her inside. Now it was Harry's turn to blush. Cho was blushing now also. Her eyes had met with Harry's.
'Say a word of this to anyone else, and I think I just might kill you…' She said through her mind.
'Kill me? Haha…very funny…just uh…get back inside…it wouldn't be a good thing if we let Ron get a free show…' Harry replied in his head.
Cho took the hint and ran back inside. Alyssia and Whitney were trying to free Cianna from the curtain she tangled herself into.
"Oh no! We can't get it!!! The whole place will come crashing over us!" Whitney cried.
"Oh please!" Alyssia said sarcastically.
She whipped out her wand.
"Reducto!" she cried.
The curtain ripped and Cianna was free.
"Now let's just get you fitted and then you can go." Alyssia said.
They each were fitted and they dressed and exited the curtain-tent and saw Tom and Malfoy groaning in a corner, complaining of headaches. Liam was still staring at the space where he had seen Akira, with a shocked look on his face. Akira saw him and approached him.
"Well…that's all it was, Mez, so let's go…" Akira said.
Liam didn't move.
"What's up with him?" She asked Harry.
"He's still trying to overcome the shock…" Ron replied.
"Shock of what?" Akira wondered.
"Of you! Duh! When you came out of the tent!" Cho answered, holding a dress over her arm and just coming out from the tent.
"Oh…" She said.
Cho walked away from her sister and went over to Harry.
"Hi…" Harry said.
"Hi…" Cho said. "…sorry…"
"What about?" Harry asked.
"About the whole, rush out of the tent thing…" Cho replied.
"Oh that…well, honestly, I wasn't as overcome with shock as Liam was…he hasn't moved since he saw Akira just standing there…it's been really funny…Ron and I have been trying to make him snap out of it, but it's not working…maybe you and Akira can find a cure…" Harry said.
"Well…you should've seen Cianna when Malfoy and Tom walked in…She went and got herself tangled in a curtain…and when I walked back in, Alyssia and Whitney were trying to get her free…" Cho giggled. "Well, I'm going to help Aki with her little 'problem'…"
She walked back over to her sister.
"You know, there are two things that might work…" Cho said.
"And that would be…?" Akira asked annoyed.
Cho started whispering in her sister's ear.
"WHAT?! Are you crazy??!!" Akira exclaimed.
"It might work…" Cho said.
"Which one should I try?" Akira questioned.
"The sweeter one…"
"Fine…"
She kissed Liam on the cheek. It didn't work, but he blinked a bit, but still remained as he was.
"Damn…almost worked…well, try more of a direct approach…" Cho suggested.
"You mean…uh, what do you mean?"
"A more direct approach."
"On the lips?!" Akira mouthed at her sister.
Cho nodded. Akira felt her stomach fill with butterflies and do a flip. She moved closer to Liam's face. She was so close to him now, that she knew it would be too late to back out…
"That was the weirdest thing I've ever seen!" Ron said.
They were back in the Gryffindor common room. The hour was pretty late, and Ron, Hermione, Akira, Liam, Harry, and Cho were the only ones in there.
"Uh…" said Liam.
"Well, the good thing is, the plan worked…" Cho said notably.
"Yeah, well! I didn't exactly like the plan!" Akira argued.
"You must consider the fact that, desperate measures are sometimes needed to be taken…" Cho replied.
"Bu-but it's not right!!!" Akira responded fiercely.
"If it makes you feel any better, I'll kiss Harry…" Cho said.
"Go ahead! I want to see this!" Akira said, grinning.
'What twisted soul has corrupted my sister's innocent mind?' Cho thought.
She moved over and kissed Harry. It felt like ages since they had last kissed. It was heavenly. She messed up his hair a little more, and made the kiss soft and sensual, then they both broke away at last.
"Feel any better now?" Cho asked.
Akira was laughing her head off.
"Wow…you two…it just looked like…" Akira said, laughing.
Cho didn't need to know what the rest of what her sister was about to say. She grabbed a pillow on an armchair and threw it at her sister's face. Akira stopped laughing.
"Hey! That was rude! But now, that I'm done laughing, I can finish what I want to say…anyway, it looked like you two were about to…you know…" She said.
Cho threw another pillow at her sister. Meanwhile, Ron, Hermione, Liam, and Harry were grossed out.
"Ewww!!!" They all said.
Akira threw a pillow back at her sister. They both started hitting each other with pillows.
"Anyone want to place a bet?" Ron asked.
Everyone turned to look at him with a look that read 'that is the most dumb thing anyone could say right now.'
Akira and Cho were chasing each other around the common room and occasionally pelting each other with pillows. Their little war ended minutes later. Both of them had flopped onto their backs and were panting and sweating.
"Whew…I'm tired…" Akira said.
"Me too…" Cho replied.
Everyone went to bed after that…the week went by, and the practice recital for the wedding came and went. At long last, it was the tenth of May. Cho, Akira, Hermione, Ginny, Alexa, and Cianna were all bustling about the room. Alyssia and Whitney were nervous.
"What if…what if Tom leaves me waiting at the altar?" Whitney asked.
"He won't. Trust me, he won't…" Ginny said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
The wedding was to take place in an hour.
"Ok, we should start getting our hair and make up done…" Alexa said.
The girls all did each other's make up and hair. They finished, and everyone looked gorgeous. There was a knock at the door. Akira answered it.
"Oh…Hi Draco." She said.
"Can I see Alyssia?" Draco asked.
"No. Because it's bad luck if you see the bride before the wedding." Akira replied.
"Well just give her this." Draco said, handing her a note.
He turned and left. Akira shut the door and gave the note to Alyssia. She opened it and read it, then cried.
"What is it?" The girls asked.
"It's so sweet…" Alyssia replied thickly.
"What's it say?"
"'My Dearest Alyssia, I love you so much. You mean the world to me. I hope that you feel the same way for me…I love you with a love so deep and true that I would do anything for you. I would go to the end of the earth for you. I would die for you. I pledge my undying and devoted love to you. May love hold a new way for us and our future. Love, Draco.'" Alyssia read.
"That is so sweet!" The girls cooed.
Another note fluttered out. It was for Whitney.
"Whitney, you got one too!" Alyssia said suddenly.
"I did?" Whitney asked, surprised.
"Yeah. Here you go…" Alyssia replied, handing it to her.
Whitney opened it with shaking hands and read it. Her blue eyes started to shine with tears, then she folded the note and put it in her purse.
"What did that one say?" The girls wondered.
"I can't tell you. If I did, Tom and I would have to kill you…" Whitney replied, wiping her eyes and snickering.
The girls pouted.
"Oh crap! We have to go!" Hermione said checking the clock on the wall.
The six bridesmaids grabbed their bouquets and rushed out of the room, closely followed by Whitney and Alyssia. The bridesmaids got into formation and found that the six gentlemen to accompany them down the aisle were waiting for them, as well as Whitney and Alyssia's fathers. Cho took Harry's arm, and Akira took Liam's. Hermione took Ron's, Cianna took Minh's. Ginny and Alexa took the arm of two boys they had for good friends, then Akira and Liam took their place at the front of the formation, followed by Alexa, Cho, Cianna, Ginny, Hermione, and the two brides. Parvati and Lavender had taken the job to walk down the aisle and conjure a shower of pink rose petals, Dennis Creevey had been given the responsibility of being the ring bearer…then the organ started to play the wedding march…Akira and Liam opened the door to the Great Hall, and walked forward…Draco and Tom were waiting expectantly. All the bridesmaids had walked forth and took their positions on either side of the room. Then Alyssia and Whitney gracefully down the aisle, their father's on their arms, several guests at the ceremony starting to cry. Tom and Draco saw their soon-to-be-wives and their jaws dropped. Alyssia and Whitney were at the altar now. Their fathers released them, and let their soon-to-be-husbands take their place. Dumbledore had hired a wizard priest and he was at the altar standing tall and looking quite cheerful. He cleared his throat, and the room fell silent.
"We are gathered here today to celebrate…" The priest said.
And finally, he neared the end of his speech.
"Bring forth the rings…" He announced.
Dennis strode forward, holding a white silk cushion with four rings upon it. Draco slipped the ring over Alyssia's finger, and Tom gently placed it upon Whitney's finger.
"I now pronounce you man and wife!" The priest announced. "You may kiss the bride!"
Draco and Alyssia kissed passionately, and Tom and Whitney were in each other's arms, their kiss everlasting. Colin was holding his camera and clicking away madly. When both broke away, all those that were sitting, rose and cheered, and cried. Colin took more pictures and then the two couples moved over to their wedding cake, cut a slice for themselves, then took a bite of it. Colin started taking more pictures, and then music started playing, and then Whitney and Alyssia conjured a small table they could stand on.
"Ok, everyone listen up! We'll be throwing our bouquets, one at a time, mind you, and instead of our husbands throwing the girdle, they'll be throwing whistles…you know, like dog whistles…haha, just kidding, they'll be throwing the girdle…" Whitney and Alyssia shouted.
The chairs disappeared and the table Whitney and Alyssia were standing on became longer and Tom and Draco climbed up.
"Alyssia and Draco toss first!" Whitney said.
The crowd gathered around the table. Then Alyssia took her bouquet, turned around to her back faced the crowd, then tossed her bouquet behind her. Ginny caught it…she was pretty surprised too…then Draco turned around and tossed the girdle. Colin caught it. Ginny and Colin looked at each other and made choking noises.
"EW!!!" Both exclaimed in disgust.
Whitney took her bouquet and turned so that her back faced the crowd. She tossed her bouquet over her shoulder and it seemed to fall in slow motion. Then it landed nicely in Cho's hands. Tom tossed his girdle, and Harry caught it instantly. Cho ran over to Harry and grinned. Harry grinned back. In seconds they found themselves in each others arms, kissing so lovingly, and passionately, breaking away, then connecting again, finally letting go of each other and both were breathless. Whitney and Alyssia started clapping, soon everyone was clapping along with them…Meanwhile, Ginny had seen Harry and Cho's kiss, and she felt her heart crash into pieces.
"He's in love with her…and it'll never change…She loves him back…I'll just go unnoticed and not even cared about…" Ginny sobbed quietly.
She crawled into a corner and broke out into tears.
"Where's Ginny?" Ron wondered.
Akira looked around.
"Uh oh…" She said, spotting Ginny in the corner.
Cho, Harry, Ron, Akira, Liam, and Hermione all walked over.
"What's wrong Gin?" Ron asked.
Ginny started mumbling but Ron obviously understood. He frowned.
"She hasn't gotten over you, Harry…" Ron whispered.
Harry nodded, and kneeled down by Ginny.
"Hey Ginny…" He said quietly.
Ginny looked up, her eyes were red and her face was wet with tears.
"What? Have you come to mock me because I'm crying? Or is it that you're here to shove my face into the fact that you love Cho?" She asked coldly.
"Ginny, listen. Yes, I love Cho. I don't deny it…but I guess, you see me in a different light, the one that I see Cho in…but I see you in another light…I see you more as a sister than anything…you're a really nice kid, and I'm sure that someday you'll find a special someone…but I do love you…as a sister…it's the way I've seen you since I met you when I was twelve…I hope you understand…" Harry replied.
Ginny sobbed harder, and Harry kissed her forehead and stood up. She wiped her face on her dress.
"But…you don't…understand!" Ginny wailed.
She got up and ran out of the Great Hall crying. Everyone just stared for a minute.
"Well, I don't blame you for making her even more upset…you did what you could…but I guess…she'll just never understand…" Ron said, shaking his head.
"That was sweet of you…" Cho whispered in Harry's ear.
"Yeah…I guess…" Harry mumbled.
Cho was silent after that. The cake was being served, as well as wine for the adults and butterbeer for the students or adults who didn't want wine. The wedding progressed around them. Some of the older students managed to get wine and were drunk…including Minh and Cianna…it was now night. Cho went outside. The air was cool and smelled of sweet flowers. She took a seat by the lake and took off her shoes and let her feet soak in the water. Harry came out of the front doors and spotted her then took a seat next to her.
"Do you remember last year's Yule Ball? When you pushed me into the lake?" Cho asked quietly.
"Yeah…you chased me…" Harry replied.
"And I caught up with you…and I pounced on you, and we landed in the grass…" Cho added.
"Yeah…good times…so what's up?" Harry asked.
"It's just that something is bothering me, that I don't know what it is…" Cho answered.
The wedding finally ended and the two husbands hadn't yet decided where to go for their honeymoon…
