Maybe you'll like it. The effect of a sleepless night. Ultimately, one shot. He can wait to expand depending on whether he decides to describe how the pairing took place or what the plan was created in Dumbledore's head.
Hermione was smiling. For the first time in a long time, she felt truly happy. As she looked at the black gold wedding ring with a single emerald, she only thought that she had no regrets for the last five years of her life. Her only regret was that she had to hide them.
- Honey, will you come with me? - She smiled at the blonde sitting in front of her. His silvery eyes twinkled in the candlelight.
- I will always be by your side to support you. - He leaned in to place a kiss on her lips. - But this time I won't go with you. I know how important they are to you, that's why I don't want to spoil something with my mere presence. If you need me, you will call me. Okay?
The return to the Burrow was extremely difficult. Even though all her relatives had survived, she still couldn't help feeling that she was tolerated there only because of her friendship with Harry. As she followed the path to the door of the house where she spent almost every summer since she started Hogwarts, she thought about how to start a conversation. When she was on the doormat, she didn't even knock. She just walked in.
- Hello everyone.
Hermione's eyes fell on the table where the entire Weasley family sat, Lupine and his wife and son, Dumbledore, Harry and several others. Surprisingly, Sirius Black was also present, who miraculously managed to emerge from behind the veil in the Department of Mysteries about a week after the final battle.
- Hello Hermione - before she could react, she was crushed in a hug by the lady of the house, Molly Weasley. - Sit next to Ron. We'll drink tea.
- What are you doing? - the girl's attention did not miss a large number of Muggle magazines on wedding topics. - Are you planning a wedding? Harry, you didn't say anything, you already made a date with Ginny.
Harry looked confused and surprised and his cheeks were turning a soft shade of red. Before he could say anything, Ron interrupted him. Putting his hand on Hermione's, he only said one sentence.
- We are planning our wedding and everyone is happy to finally get married.
Shocked Hermione looked around at the crowd. Everyone seemed to be pleased. Almost everyone. "Bride" was the exception. As she realized Ron was serious, she felt anger.
- Can anyone tell me what's going on here? - She didn't care who would answer her. She needed an answer. And she was going to get it.
- Mione, what do you mean? - Ron tried to calm her down and hug her, but she pushed him away.
- Are you planning our wedding even though there was no engagement? What am I saying about an engagement? There wasn't even a relationship. - She was losing ground. - Ron, what did you think up again? After all, we were not together, where did the idea with the wedding come from?
- Why are you so nervous? Everyone knows that we have been in love with each other for a long time.
- Everyone, really? - She looked back again and turned to one of the people she respected and who had been silent so far. - You, Headmaster, also participate in this farce?
- Yes. I myself have pointed out that this relationship must be legalized before the Marriage Law comes into force and you are separated. The love that is between you is not often met.
In one moment, Hermione's face became a hard mask. She thought she would try to explain the situation.
- I'm going to ask you some questions and I don't care who answers them. First. Who came up with the "brilliant" idea that I am in love with Ron?
- I - Ginny answered the first question to the girl's surprise. - You always looked at my brother as I looked at Harry. However, you weren't taking the first step, I advised him to make you jealous. And it worked. You were jealous of Lavender.
- No, Ginny. I've never been in love with Ron. I've never been romantically interested in him. By Merlin, he's like a brother to me. Involvement in this situation would be, to say the least, weird. Hermione tried not to look at Ronald.
- Second question. How can you plan a wedding without asking me for an opinion? I was at least surprised that my wedding is the subject of your meeting today.
- I'm surprised too. - Bill stared at his youngest brother. - You told me you proposed and she accepted you.
- Bill's just a formality. You agree Mione, right? - Ron was silent as soon as he saw the potential fiancée's fierce gaze.
- Didn't you hear what I just said? On Salazar, you sometimes act like a brat who always has to get what he wants.
- And the last one. What is this marriage law about? And how do you know if I would be separated from Ron?
As expected, this time Dumbledore replied.
- After two wars, the wizard population has significantly decreased, so they will pair wizards of childbearing age for marriage. They will encourage the conception of children. In fact, they did not encourage, but forced. As for the second question, it's leaked list. And you've paired with Draco Malfoy. We cannot allow you to be linked to DeathEater if you have a longtime boyfriend.
- Where does the information come from? - Granger tried to sound calm and ignore the building tension in the room.
- I have received copies of the official letter from the Ministry.
- Aren't you ashamed to lie like that? Or are you trying to manipulate again? My name wasn't on that list.
Molly joined the conversation and snarled indignantly. - It was, I saw it myself.
- When was this list made?
- A month ago. Dumbledore replied.
- Fake. I couldn't be there. I have been married for a little over a year. Married in both a magical and Muggle fashion. I came to tell you today because the wedding itself was rushed due to what was happening until recently. At the reunion ceremony, I wanted my family. Instead, I found a group of people insisting on connecting me with a boyfriend who is like a brother to me.
Hermione braced herself for Ron's outburst. She hadn't expected a similar reaction from Harry.
- Are you married? And Ron? How could you do this to HIM? How could you do this to ME? How could you have betrayed me?
Hermione couldn't believe her ears. Everything about her was boiling.
- Betray? You? What does my love life have to do with you? I'm in love. I love you back. I'm happy. You're already talking about treason and you don't know who I am yet. And you will not find out. Goodbye to you. Fred, George ... I will send you an owl with my new address soon. I know that despite the initial tension, you will accept my husband.
She was pleased to see that the twins smiled at her.
- You won't leave this place until we discuss your stupidity and find out who you are with. - Ron grabbed her hand so tightly she was starting to feel pain.
- You're not gonna find out. It is not important.
- Miss Granger, this is more than important. to everyone's surprise, Albus Dumbledore roared through gritted teeth. Who is your husband We have to consider whether this problem can be solved.
- Solve?! - Sirius looked disapprovingly at the Headmaster. - And why? I'm starting to think Hermione is right and you want to put your fingers in the wrong place again. Honey, could you please tell us who your chosen one is? I treat you like family and want to congratulate the boyfriend who stole your heart.
Sirius was looking at the girl. She was shaking with nerves. He felt sorry for her. He saw her eyes shine as she entered the Burrow. Now she was a girl who, by some miracle, had yet to burst into tears. So he got up, walked over to her, and put his arm around her.
- Maybe later. In private.
- I'll go too. After the mistakes I made with Severus and Lily, I'll be willing to accept even Scabior if he makes you happy. - Remus supported Sirius, seeing that his former apprentice was practically falling apart before their eyes.
- You're not serious. It was supposed to be like this for a long time. My Ginny with Harry and my Ron with Hermione. I was so happy that we managed to break Hermione away from Victor Krum and in fact someone else was the problem?
Nymphadora Tonks replied.
- Even in pure-blooded families, a child may refuse an arranged marriage. At the risk of disinheritance, there is always a choice. I was looking forward to Ron and Hermione's relationship because I really thought they were together. However ... it is not. She chose someone else, and you, Molly, should accept that if you really care about her. Hermione, Sirius, Baby let's go.
- So who is this lucky guy? - Sirius said, falling on the couch in the living room of the recent headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.
Hermione sighed and grabbed her locket. She began to think intensely about her husband. A few moments passed and she smiled. She was relieved to feel his presence. She forgot about the others as she felt Draco's hand wrapped around her waist.
- It would be me.
- Well, we have a surprise. I think of you as family and you will really become my family. My cousin accepted our curly bookworm?
- Yes. Both mother and father. It was hard, but Hermione can be very convincing .- A characteristic smile appeared on Draco's face.
Tonks watched the couple in love and came up with an idea.
- That's not all true? We know that it is not easy to convince Aunt Narcissa to change her mind.
Hermione sat down in the armchair beside the fireplace.
- It's also about my origin.
- My wife is not Muggle-born but almost Muggle-born. - The boy smiled at his wife.
- You know nobody knows about it yet? They were going to find out at the ceremony.
Remus was intrigued and spoke directly to Hermione.
- What is Mr. Malfoy talking about?
- About having to accept a friend's daughter. They couldn't maintain their friendship with Severus Snape without accepting his daughter.
- Shit. I have a Dungeon Bat in my family? - Sirius said with obvious disgust on his face.
The rest of the crowd looked at him and started laughing.
End?
I would like your opinions. Opinions help to revise plans for a possible further part.
