Hp-chapt 19 ( Hermione's Wedding Part 2, Hermione's P.O.V)
Terrence smiled at his daughter, all clad in white, extremly dazzling to the core. Hermione clutched the bouquet of flowers in her hands, her palms cold and clammy. She breathed in deeply and stepped out of the room into the corridor, her dress and veil trailing the ground. In the corridor lined up the procession. First was 6 year old Jerry who was the ringbearer, he was a relative of Malfoy's. He was dressed smartly in a suit of red, gold and black, his hair gelled neatly and he held a golden tassled pillow in which lay their two wedding rings, gleaming in the light.Behind him lined up and ready to go were two of her friend's younger children both aged 6, Laura and Lindia who were going to be her flowergirls. They were dressed in frilly champagne coloured dresses full of lace and ribbons and they had beautiful flowers embedded in their hair. They carried small baskets of flower petals to fling in the air . Next came Hermione's 12 year old cousin, Heather who was also going to be a flowergirl. She was dressed sweetly in a flowing chamapgne coloured dress and had flowers in her hair. She wore lace gloves and carried a small basket full of petals. Next came Ginny. She was handed a basket full of petals from a door man at the side . She slipped on her lace gloves and held the basket. She then turned to smile warmly at Hermione. Hermione gave a weak smile. She couldn't believe the time has came already……it's been so fast. Here she was standing OUTSIDE the church door waiting to be married off to a guy whom…….nevermind. She still couldn't belive she was doing this. She tensed up and breathed short breaths. Behind Ginny stood Emily. She had already a basket of flowers and a small bouquet of flowers too. She also had slipped on her lace gloves. She came over and gave Hermione's hand a tight squeeze and smiled. She then took her place infront of Hermione. Hermione was lead by her dad to the end of the row. He linked his arm with hers and said,
" Well,this is it honey. Are you feeling alright?"
Hermione opened her mouth to reply but found no sound coming out, let alone forming words. She was too down to speak. Her throat was tight and only let out a squeek. She closed her mouth abruptly and bit her lip. She let loose a sigh.Everything was in slow motion and like a dream….. Her breathing became more tense and quick as she saw the doormen move to reach for the door handle…. The doormen got hold of the door handle……Hermione held her bouquet of flowers tighter…….The doormen turned the handle…..Hermione felt her feet planted to the ground…..A crack is opened by the door…….Hermione closed her eyes hoping it really was dream and she wished she could wake out of. …… The sound of the doors opening echoed through the hall and the music of" Canon in D" floated into the corridor. Hermione opened her eyes and saw through the doors everybody rise and face her. She saw everybody's faces have on a expression of wonder as she entered the hall. She felt lightheaded and couldn't feel her feet touch the ground. She walked through a air of petals flying here and there. She saw her relatives smiling and nodding approvingly at her and voices of ooooooooooo and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhs all around her echoing in her mind. The carpeted floor felt soft and as if she was sinking into every step. She could feel the sense of impending doom all over her.Infront was a air of petals and she walked through it . Suddenly, she caught sight of Mrs Weasley waving at her. The voice of Mrs Weasley ringing in her head:
Hermione…..you're sure on this…..whole….marrying thing……..thing….thing……
Hermione felt so disturbed and distressed she looked around else where….and she caught sight of Lieutenant Hardy grinning at her, his voice echoing in her mind……
Thank you for doing this for the wizarding folk……………folk…folk……..
Hermione felt so sad she turned to look at her father for support, she was so wrong, instead of support another voice echoed in her head…….
…..Think of the good………you will be doing for……the wizarding folk…….
Hermione turned away and caught sight of her fellow Gryffindors all cheering for her, she could see them cheering but she couldn't hear anything, just all the voices ringing in her head…..She caught sight of Harry, giving her an encouraging smile. She couldn't even manage a smile now. And then…..she saw…Ron.
How her heart ached as she saw him, depression flooded her entire body . He looked pale and forlorn sitting there, unmoving and still…his glassy eyes watched her as she walked down the ailse . She longed to run to him but she barred by an invisible wall . She looked longingly at him, trying to make him understand that she still loved him and that this marriage couldn't be helped, but she did it in vain. She saw Ron bend down his head and she saw a single tear fall…fall….that tear shone..capturing the light of the room. Hermione bit her lip so hard to keep from sobbing out loud she could taste blood had teeth marks at the edges of her lips. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, but she couldn't stand it. She wanted to break loose from this and run away but her feet carried on walking. Her heart was saying no, but she was still physically moving towards the altar. Then she saw her mother. Reanda had on a fake smile and was nodding to her daughter to make her go on, but Reanda made Hermione feel worse, her mothers words echoed in her mind……
YOU ARE GOING TO MARRYING MALFOY AND THAT'S FINAL! YOU HEAR ME! …………….
Hermione let out a soft sniff and looked down at her feet….walking…..walking………… All the while…She was being tortured and feeling depressed. She kept on walking and walking……. Am I making the right decision?……..It's too late for that now……..Hermione thought bitterly, fighting back the sobs in her throat. She felt as if this walk was never going to end.
Then, she saw…….Him. Draco, standing tall and proud at the altar …waiting….for her. He saw her and smiled. She didn't smile back but felt as if she was going to faint soon. She came closer …..and closer…..and closer………and then finally, she felt her dad's arm loosen around hers and leave. She stood there ….a lone before she walked up there slowly and met Draco. Draco smiled and walked with her to the seats infront of the altar for the bride and groom. Hermione felt as if she was being dragged along , she then was seated on the chair and the ceremony started. She toiled through the whole ceremony, and clouds moved into her mind. Suddenly, she was jerked back into reality by the most worrying statement she had been thinking about.
" Miss Hermione Granger, do you take Mr Draco malfoy to be your………….." The priest drawled.
" ……….To love and to cherish as long as you both shall live?"the priest finished. Everybody in the hall held their breaths. Hermione couldn't say anything. Her throat was tensed and dry. Her flowers were almost dying because of her tight grip . But most of all, her answer………….What should she say? She was so torn between two areas. Time stood still and she stood frozen on the spot unmoving and worried. Draco turned to her, smiling proudly. Hermione was so frozen but managed a turn. She turned back and caught sight of…….Gladys. She was had on an encouraging smile….her smile said all. Gladys' voice rang in her head for the longest period of time………..
You don't ………have…….to do….this…………………..
Hermione felt to world spinning around her. Then she found her hand at her neck where Ron's necklace lay. Her hand clasped it tight . What should she do? Does she really have to do this? All the questions swam in her mind , then she was jerked back into reality by the priest,
" Miss Hermione Granger? Your answer?"
Hermione looked at the solemn priest then at Draco who said,
" Hermione…..what's the matter?"
Hermione swallowed a gulp of air. She had to do it. Or else the world will suffer. Hopefully she'll find advantages in this marriage…..Advantages? Huh! Hermione get real this is….auuurrghhhh! You are marrying a guy whom you don't love! What are you doing! Say No!
No! Say yes! The wizarding folk! Think of them! Their suffering if you don't marry him! You will live in guilt for the rest of your life!
Say no Hermione! You don't love this guy! What the heck are you thinking! Ron loves you! He will cherish you! Draco will probably kick you around! Nevermind the wizarding folk!
Hermione say yes! Ron probably has given up on you already! He's probably sending love letters to other girls already! Forget Him Hermione!
Hermione! Say No! He still loves you! The necklace! Remember the necklace's embedded message: You will be my one and only! Doesn't that message speak for itself! The letter that came with it too! Doesn't that prove his love?
These thoughts were flowing through Hermione's mind while she wrestled with what she should say. She was so dizzy and worried about her choice she stumbled ,the whole church had a sudden intake of breath as they saw her stumble,but she manged to hold onto the chair for support. She looked around the whole church, a sea of eyes and hopeful smiles, she saw Lieutenant Hardy smiling at her . He represented the whole world! His voice ringing in her head again…..
Thank you for doing this for the wizarding folk……………..
How could she let the world down! But she still loved Ron! What should she do!
" Hermione!…….." Malfoy said bewilderedly and embarrassed at the fact she was taking such a long time to answer. She had to answer quickly, she has probably taken a full five minutes! With all the voices Ringing in her head, Hermione gripped her bouquet of flowers, regained her composure and took a deep breath.Everybody in the church leaned forward and held their breath as Hermione opened her mouth to speak. Hermione closed her eyes tight, tears collecting at the edges of her eyes and whispered her answer loud enough for the whole church to hear,
" I do."
