Words: 428
Harry swallowed nervously as he entered the kitchen inside the shared flat he owned with Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. He was not looking forward to what was about to come. He had done something rash, and he was now going to have to tell the two people who were his best-friends and flatmates what had happened.
"Harry! How are you?" Hermione greeted Harry with a smile. She was blissfully ignorant at the moment.
"You were out really late last night," was -what Ron said. He was at the stove trying to make breakfast, and probably failing.
"Yeah, about that. I have something I need to tell you," Harry said, looking awkward.
"What is it?" Hermione asked suspiciously.
"Err, Neville, Justin, Sirius, Oliver, a ministry wizard friend of Sirius' and I ended up getting a bit drunk, and ah, I kind of got married," Harry stammered.
"What do you mean you 'got married? When? How? Why?" Hermione asked after a few minutes. Ron just stared at Harry in shock and horror.
"Well, last night, obviously; and that's just what happens when you get drunk, you have all these great ideas that seemed good at the time, and you act them out, because you're high. Sirius' friend was ordained to marry people, so it just happened," Harry nervously explained.
"You idiot," Hermione said, facepalming. Ron continued to stare.
"Ron, I think that food is burning," Harry said after a while.
"Wha? Oh no!" Ron cried, quickly fixing it.
After a while, Ron finally spoke again. "Who were you married to?" Ron asked, regretting asking as soon as he said it.
"Ahh, Oliver Wood," Harry said.
Hermione and Ron said nothing. They were processing everything they had just learnt, and to get over the fact that Harry was married, and married to a guy.
After five minutes, breakfast was ready, so they sat down and ate it. They managed to talk about a few things, pointedly ignoring the elephant in the room, so to speak.
However, after finishing breakfast, it could no longer be ignored. Oliver Wood decided to drop by, which reminded everyone of the elephant.
"Oliver," Harry said.
"Hello," Hermione and Ron nodded. They sounded a bit shell-shocked, still.
"Hi. Do they know?" Oliver asked Harry.
"Yes, they do know we're married. And I think they're a bit horrified," Harry answered.
"Fair enough. Did they say something to the effect of, 'what do you mean you got married?" Oliver asked.
"How did you-?" Harry asked.
"That's what my mum said," Oliver explained. And despite it all, he grinned.
