(A/N: Well it's finally come to the end. Yes this is the last chapter of "You'd Never Expect This!" I'd never thought this would be 12 chapters long! I hope you've enjoyed this as much as I have.)

Morning, Tuesday, December 24: Christmas Eve…"Well how is the husband-to-be doing this morning?" Ron asked a nervous Harry in his room. Harry and Hermione's wedding was going to be held in a small church not far from the Burrow.
"Quite nervous right now Ron." Harry replied. "How much longer until the wedding?" He asked.
"Let's see…(Pauses to look at his watch)…about 4 more hours. It's only 10:30am." Ron answered.
"I felt the same way at my wedding Harry. Feeling nervous is normal." Draco said. "Just make sure you don't see Hermione before the ceremony. It's bad luck you know."
"Yeah yeah. I know. I've heard it enough times from Mrs. Weasley." Harry said laughing. "I wonder how Hermione is doing right now." Harry wondered out loud.
"Probably doing the same as you. Driving everyone crazy." Replied Fred. They all laughed.
* * *Meanwhile* * *
"Hermione, you're doing it again." Ginny said without looking up. Her, Hermione and Mrs. Weasley were sitting in Ginny's room getting ready.
"Doing what again?" Hermione asked even though she pretty much knew what it was.
"You're tapping your foot against the floor really fast like a machine again. You tap it any harder, and you'll make a hole in the floor. Stop it." Ginny replied.
"Sorry." Hermione stopped, but now she couldn't stop drumming her fingers against the bed. Luckily the bedspread drowned out the noise.
"How are you feeling now? Any better?" Mrs. Weasley asked. She didn't need an answer to see Hermione was nervous.
"How come you're nervous Hermione? I mean you're only getting married to the most well known wizard of our time. The Harry Potter who defeated the dark lord you-know-who, who won the Tri-Wizard tournament 4 years ago even though he was underage, who was the youngest Quidditch player to make the team in a century, and might I add a very good seeker, and who's heart you've stolen." Ginny said.
"You're not helping Ginny. The only help you're doing is making me more nervous." Hermione said.
"Just making your life easier. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I hear Jason having to use the potty again." Ginny then got up and left the room with Jason crying in her arms. "Come on you little wee machine. This is what? The 5th time you had to go today?" Ginny said under her breath.
"4th time." Mrs. Weasley said.

Harry was certainly sweating bullets by 2:15. "Harry, if you're not going to stop sweating, you're going to go through your third tux! I don't think the rental place has another one in your size." Ron told him. "Here. Try this potion. It's supposed to stop nervousness." Ron said handing Harry a small bottle.
"Where did you get this? You never excelled in potions class to make a potion like this. It's for advanced potion makers." Harry said downing it in one gulp.
"Snape keeps a ready supply for some more jumpy teachers. I swiped a bottle. Figured you might need it. Now come on, we have to go get ready." Ron said grinning.
"The potion isn't helping much, I'm still nervous as hell. Although it did help me stop sweating." He laughed walking with Ron to the church.
2:30 found all the Mrs. And Mr. Weasley, Fred, George, Charlie, Bill, Percy, Ginny, as maid of honor, Draco, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, Ron, as best man, the Dursleys, who reluctantly agreed to come, and the rest of Hermione's family. (Did I miss anyone?) Not to mention a few reporters were there. Couldn't pass up the chance to not have a scoop on the most popular wizard since Merlin getting married. Which the church grounds were searched clean for Rita Skeeter, or a beetle that looked like her. Not to mention nobody got in without an invitation. Didn't want anybody like Pansy to ruin it. To enforce this, Mr. Weasley pulled a few strings and got some of the highest security wizards admitting people. It was like a swanky nightclub, and the big guys with the list.
Then the wedding started. Hermione and Harry had both insisted on a muggle wedding since half the guests were muggles. Hermione walked up the aisle with Mr. Granger on her arm to where Harry, Ron and Ginny were waiting. The pastor was waiting there as well to start the ceremony. When Hermione get there, he started immediately. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to wed Harry Potter to Hermione Granger…"
* * *Skipping again to the part with the vows * * *
The Pastor continued. "Now say I do after me Harry. Do you Harry Potter take Hermione Granger to be lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"
"I do." Harry answered
"And do you Hermione Granger take Harry Potter as your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"
"I do." Hermione said.
"Congratulations! You are now husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The pastor said joyfully. Harry and Hermione then kissed like there was no tomorrow.

(A/N: And thus ends my story. I hope you enjoyed it! I might make a sequel, I might not. Most likely I will since I have so much free time now that school is over. Until then, tell your friends about this one if they like D/G stories.)
