Chapter 8
"I won't allow it."
Everyone turned to stare at the uninvited stranger in the doorway.
The woman continued to stroll forward. "First of all, Ms. Granger, you have no blue. Second of all, I would have thought that you would have invited me. After seven years under my care, protection, and wisdom, I thought we were better friends. And yet I find out that you're getting married from the society page of 'The Daily Prophet.' I am very disappointed in you, Ms. Granger."
Hermione turned her face towards her feet. "I'm sorry, Professor. I did not mean to slight you. Please stay and enjoy yourself."
The woman smiled and sat on the bride's side.
"Who is that?" Ron whispered to Hermione.
"Professor McGonagoll," she whispered back, obviously pleased that her favorite teacher thought so highly of her.
Ron chuckled lightly. "May I continue?" the priest asked. Ron and Hermione nodded simultaneously.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the joining of these two people in holy matrimony.."
The priest continued for several minutes, talking about many things that few people care about. Finally, it was time for the vows. Hermione was going first.
"When I first met you, Ron, you were the little boy with dirt on his nose and too much food in his mouth. At the time, I thought you weren't worth my attention, but you proved me wrong. You changed my life in so many ways, I can hardly keep track. You have shaped me as a person, and I thank all that is holy to me every day that you were the first thing I was wrong about," she said with a smile as Ron smirked, now realizing that he had proved Hermione wrong.
"Hermione, you were my first for so many things. My first fight. My first friend that was a girl. My first date. My first dance. My first kiss. Those were all you. But more importantly, you were, are, and always be my first love. I loved you at the first, and I will love you at the last. So while you were my first for all those things, I hope you will also be my last," Ron said eloquently.
At this point, many of the women were dabbing their eyes with Kleenex and the like. The priest smiled at the couple. "Ronald, do you take Hermione to be your lawfully wedded wife in sickness and in health? For richer or for poorer? To honor and cherish her, for better or for worse?"
"I do," Ron said, smiling slightly, but preoccupied with something.
"Hermione, do you take Ronald to be your lawfully wedded husband in sickness and in health? For richer or for poorer? To honor and cherish him, for better or for worse?" the priest asked again.
"I do," Hermione said.
"Are you sure Hermione?" Ron asked, scared of the answer.
"I'm absolutely positive, Ron," she replied with a grin.
"Ladies and Gentlemen," the priest said, addressing the church. "I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Arthur Weasley."
The happy couple half-ran down the aisle, holding hands, and laughing the whole time.
THE END
I mean it now! This is the end! I have a new story to write, and nothing new to add on here.
Go read the stories written by Foags. They're all really good, and reviewing/reading them brings you good karma.
However, reviewing my stories brings you better karma.
