Chapter 8

Harry and Ron sat in the front row, saving seats for Ginny and hermione. The wedding was about to begin. Snape was standing at the altar with Flitwick by his side.

Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me" began to play. Ginny and Draco walked down the aisle; Ginny throwing rose petals and Draco carrying the rings. Pansy shot Ginny a nasty look, even though the entire school knew that she and Harry were a couple. They stood at the altar.

Next, Flitwick and Sprout walked, followed by Parvati, Lavender, and finally, Hermione. *How beautiful she looks in that dress* Ron thought.

Then, there was McGonagall, with a smile on her face. Her eyes met Snape's. The gaze they shared was priceless. Ron began to cry.

"What's wrong?" Harry whispered.

"I always cry at weddings," Ron replied.

The Priest carried on with the boring part of the ceremony as Ginny and Hermione sat down by thier boyfriends. Hermione handed Ron a tissue. "Thanks, darling," he sobbed.

NOW here's the good part.

"Severus Snape," the priest began. "Do you promise to love and cherish Minerva McGonagall in sickness and in health," blah blah blah, "til death do you part?"

"I do," Snape said, tears welling in his eyes.

"Minerva McGonagall, do you promise to love and cherish Severus Snape in sickness and in health," blah blah blah, "'til death do you part?"

"I do," McGonagall said, tears welling in her eyes also.

"The rings, please," the priest said. Draco brought them up. Once the rings were on their fingers, the priest said, "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Snape swept her into a kiss that know one will ever forget. Ron took mental notes. *Note to self: pay attention!*

As Mr. and Mrs. Severus Snape walked down the aisle, Ron nearly flooded the floor. Hermione would've hit him, but, "It's just so moving!"

The wedding reception was REALLY fun. Ginny and Hermione took off their heels and danced with their boys all night long. Ron almost started sobbing again when Severus and Minerva danced. (Well, you wouldn'y know who I was talking about if there were two Snapes.....)

At midnight, the last song came on before Severus and Minnerva went on their honeymoon, the last dance came on. Harry and Ginny didn't need to say anything. They knew there love was real. All they did was dance,kissing each other now and then. This relationship would definantley last. Ginny's word would remain true: she will love him 'til the day she died.

Hermione and Ron didn't seem to be having any problems, either. Ron really loved her; you could tell. The way he held her, treated her, and looked at her said it all. She loved him with all her heart, and she knew how sensitive he was (like the flood of tears didn't give it away) and she loved him for that. Their realationship would last, too.

Pansy and Draco weren't dancing. They could care less. They were making out in the corner.

Fred and Angelina weren't dancing fast for once, which meant there was no risk of injury to any one around them. They were lost in each others eyes.

From kisses to cake, Minerva and Severus never left each others side. The song ended and Severus swept Minerva up into his arms similar to the way Ron had done to Hermione earlier that day. As the newly-weds walked out, everyone knew one thing: Hogwarts would never be the same again.
