Harry and Hermione : A wedding to remember

Disclaimer : Harry Potter and Co are owned by J.K.Rowling, Warner Brothers and Bloomsbury. The story takes after the first Sissi-movie with Romy Schneider. I've taken a few scenes from the movie and added a little Harry Potter (ouch, I'm starting to sound like professor Snape more and more ;-) ) I've also borrowed something from a fanfic I found here, but I can't find it anywhere. If you know after reading my story I've used your idea, please let me know then I'll put you up as a desclaimer as well.



Chapter 3 : His last night as a single man

"Come on Harry," Harry heard Ron yelling in his ear as he saw Hermione disappear with the Ravenclaw clan.

"Come on, mate," Sirius said, slamming his godson on his back, "You'll have her back safe and sound tomorrow!"

"Of course you will," said Remus, "Don't worry Harry, she'll be just fine!"

"Are you guys coming or what!" George and Fred yelled from the stairs. "We've a party to attent to…"

"Don't worry Harry," said Ron, as he stood besides Harry, who was following Hermione with his eyes as she disappeared in the direction of the Ravenclaw- dormitories, "Hermione will be fine and she won't be lonely because Ginny, Angelina and Katie are there too! And I believe I heard Headmistress McGonagall saying she'll drop by later this evening to see how she's doing."

"Ok then, you're right, she'll be fine. Let's go!"

Ron and Harry raced through to corridors, just for old times sake. As they arrived at the portrait of the Fat Lady, they stood there laughing and gigling as they tried to regain their breath.

"Had a bid of a run?" asked the Fat Lady.

"Yes we had, thanks. Can we pass please, we'd like to attent the feast inside the Gryffindor common room?"

"Ok then, but only if you'll give me the password?"

"Euh, I know, Harry and Hermione" said Ron snapping his fingers.

The Fat Lady nodded and shwung back to let them enter the Gryffindor Common Room.

As they entered the cheers went up. To Harry's surprise Dobby was standing there. Handing out butterbeers and all kinds of food and candy!

"Hey Dobby," said Harry, "Thanks for being here!"

"I'm honoured to be here, minster Harry, minster Harry got Dobby free all those years ago, and master Harry hasn't spoken about it ever since… Harry Potter is the greatest wizard ever! I am happy to see master Harry happy and married to miss Hermione!"

Harry smilled : "Thanks Dobby, I'll be glad too tomorrow evening when we are married…"

"Don't worry Harry," said Fred, giving him a butterbeer, "There's nothing to be afraid about!"

"Gosh, you are even worse than your father was when he got married to your mum!" Sirius said as he joined Harry, Ron and Fred.

"O yes!" chuckled Remus, "Your father was so worried something was going to mess things up he set about 100 alarm-clocks just to be safe he wouldn't turn up in time for the wedding! He woke up the whole castle next morning! He even had to visit madam Pomfroy for a hearing spell, because he couldn't stop hearing the beeps of the alarm-clocks in his ears…"

"Now you mention it, that's correct, didn't we had to stop by madam Pomfroy too? As we were in the same dormitory as James?"

"Yes," Remus nodded and chuckled again.

"And when Lily heard what he had done.."

"Of course she had heard him, Sirius! The whole castle knew immediately what had happened and who had done it!"

Sirius saw the puzzled look on Harry's face and continued the story.

"She went terribly defensive towards him. She found it to be a very hudge compliment towards herself, as he had gone through so much troubles just to make shore he wouldn't miss the wedding…"

"Yeah, that's right! They were so attached to each other, they always stood up in defense when the other was being attackt in any kind of way! If I remember correctly she threatened to set a spell on everyone who deared to attack James because of it."

"Mmm, you're right Remus! I believe it was the Big Ears-spell she was learning at the time…"

Remus chuckled and said :

"Behaps we'll better ask professor Snape if he remembers…"

"Why professor Snape?" Harry asked curiously.

Remus and Sirius smilled at each other and then at Harry.

"I believe Snape was the only one to remind James about what happened that morning, so Lily followed her threat and give him big ears." Remus couldn't tell anything more as he started to laugh.

"Yes he really looked a bit like Dumbo, you know, the elephant from that Muggle movie?" then Sirius couldn't keep himself serious anymore neither and bursted into laughter and so did the rest of the Gryffindor common room as they all pictured professor Snape with Dumbo's ears!

As they had all finished laughing Ron said :

"I do hope that that Rita Skeeter person isn't arround here now somewhere. I know for sure that she would be delighted to hear all those stories!"

"Yes, she would, but if she doesn't she'll find something else to write a nice article to publish in the Daily Prophet tomorrow or the day after! Complete with all that crap she always writes!" said Sirius.

"Yeah, I know!" added Harry, "I bet she'll write something about how much I miss my mum and dad! Ok, I do miss my mum and dad but that doesn't mean I haven't had fun in my life till now!" He grinned.

"Hey Fred and George, you guys remember that one time you came to my Aunt's house to take me with you to the Burrow and that you dropped that candy for Dudley?"

"Yeah, we remember!" they answered.

"I believe it was one of our Tongue-Tongue-Toffees we'd given him!"

"Yeah that's right! That was really funny!"

Once they had started to tell each other their memories about the past the tone for the evening was set. Harry sat in a chair with a butterbeer in one hand, as he listened to all those story's told by Sirius, Remus, Seamus, Ron, Fred, George, Oliver Wood, Neville, Bill, Charlie and so many other Gryffindor Members. Even Percy Weasley now the Minister of Magic and Nearly Headless Nick dropped by to celebrate along with them and sharing their own memories.

It was very late, or better said early morning, when Harry finally got to bed, with Ron, Sirius and Remus sleeping in the other beds of the dormitory.

Ok, end of chapter 3! This one was quite funny, I really liked writting it a lot! I really enjoyed that Lily/Snape-part! You might have guessed by now Snape's definitly not my favourite character, but I do like him to be a victim of the Mauraulders' jokes. I just can't help it…

Next time, we'll see how things went with Hermione at the Ravenclaw- dormitories. She's about to meet somebody from the past… Will things go wrong or not? Take a lucky guess…
