A/N: Thank you sufferbunny77! I'm glad that you like it! I'll get straight
to the point. Here's chapter nine. It's mainly just Terry's wedding and
some interesting things that happen. I hope you enjoy.
Terry's Wedding was quite a fun occasion. Draco and I lied to our fathers by telling them that it was a pureblood wedding. They dumb saps actually believed us, so Draco picked me up in a limozine and we rode to the chapel that the ceremony was being held.
When we walked in people were giving us weird smiles. I knew exactly what they were thinking. They were thinking how cute it was that we were a couple, despite the fact that we weren't even holding hands. Draco sneered at all of the muggles from Terry's side of the family. I hit him on the arm and he shot a glare at me. I pulled his ear toward me.
"I was polite when you asked me to be so be nice to these people." I whispered.
"But they're muggles!" He protested.
"If you aren't at least polite to them then I'll tell Lucius that you're gay."
"You wouldn't dare!"
"Oh I would."
"Fine!"
We chose seats on the bride's side of the chapel in the second row, and Draco was furious that we had to sit near muggles. I decided to give him the end seat so he wouldn't have to sit by any of them, but only because he was nice enough to come to the wedding with me.
"Excuse me, are you Cosette Miller?" A young woman in a blue bridesmaid dress asked me.
"Yes." I answered.
"Will you please follow me? Terry needs to talk to you."
"Of course. Draco, I'll be right back."
"You're leaving me here with all of these-" Draco began.
"Kind people? You bet I am!" I interrupted.
"Ok, but hurry back."
"Yes darling." I joked as I walked away with the bridesmaid.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but she really needs you right now." The Bridesmaid said.
"Pre-wedding jitters?" I asked.
"Yes. She's so nervous that she threw up twice, she's crying, and on the verge of running."
"I'll talk to her."
She led me to a room with Terry in it. Terry was sitting in a chair crying. When she saw me walk in she ran over to me and cried even harder.
"Cosette, I can't do it! I can't do it!" Terry cried.
"Yes you can. You're in love." I assured.
"I wish I were like you. You're so brave, and you face everything right in the face. You never run away."
"I am not-"
"You are so! You're the bravest and strongest person I know. Cosette, what am I going to do?"
"Listen, I'm sitting in the second row on your side. When you get nervous just look at me. Oh, and do you have something borrowed yet?"
"What?! Oh no! I forgot! How could I forget to borrow something? Oh now my marriage is going to be a disaster!"
"No it's not. Take this, Eponine gave it to me for my birthday. It's a good luck charm bracelet. All of the charms bring good luck. Wear this during the ceremony and give it back to me after the reception."
I took my charm bracelet off and put it on Terry's wrist. She looked at it and smiled. Then she looked at me and hugged me one final time.
"Thank you so much Cosette." She said.
"You're welcome. As we say in show biz, break a leg!"
"Thank you."
I left the room thinking about what Terry had said. I couldn't have been the strongest person she knew. There was no way, I mean, I was going to run away from my life. Was I really brave, or would I be a coward if I ran away to America? It's not like Draco was that bad.
I decided not to think about it. If I did then I would just get frustrated and I would be in a bad mood for the entire wedding. I quickly walked back to my seat next to Draco.
"Is everything alright?" He asked.
"Yes. She was just having doubts so I let her borrow my charm bracelet for good luck." I answered.
"That was kind of you. You know, you're not as much of a shrew as people say you are."
"Excuse me? People say I'm a shrew?"
"If you didn't act like one all the time then maybe no one would call you that."
"Well if I'm a shrew then you must be Prince Charming."
Before he could respond music began playing. We ignored each other for most of the wedding. It was such a beautiful ceremony. I hated being cliché, but I couldn't help but shed a few tears when the reverend asked, "To have and to hold." (A/N: You know that whole ordeal).
When he asked this Draco linked his hand and fingers with mine. When Zack said, "I do," Draco squeezed my hand. I couldn't help but allow a smile cross my lips. I turned to him and we smiled at each other. Then when Terry said, "I do," I squeezed back.
After the ceremony Draco and I went to the reception. It was a large room with music, drinks, and food. Once Terry and Zack arrived they had their first dance together as man and wife. I once again let a tear escape as they danced holding each other close.
Draco and I sat at a table together as we watched everyone dance. I watched closely at Terry and all of her relatives dance. Draco then stood up and offered me his hand.
"Care to dance?" He offered.
"Don't mind if I do." I said taking his hand.
He led me to the dance floor, and we danced until it was time to cut the cake. We ate cake and talked to Terry and Zack. They were such a perfect match for each other that I could just tell they were meant to be. Then it was time for the men to catch Terry's garter.
"I wouldn't mind if you joined the men and tried to catch it." I said to Draco.
"No, I don't think I will." He said.
"Go ahead. It will be fun."
"If you insist."
He joined the men at the back of the crowd. Zack took the garter off of Terry and flung it into the air like a slingshot. I watch as all the men threw their arms into the air. Draco lifted one arm and caught it with his hand. I cheered and clapped with everyone else. He didn't even mind the fact that muggle men were shaking his hand and congratulating him.
Then it was time for Terry to throw the bouquet. I stood there as Draco walked back up to me with the garter in his hand. He put it in his coat pocket as he smiled evilly at me.
"Now it's your turn." He said as he pushed me toward the women.
I walked over to the crowd of crazy women. I walked to the side, and Terry winked at me as she turned around. She closed her eyes and threw the bouquet over her head. My eyes went wide as the bouquet flew right into my hands. Most of the women glared at me as they sighed and complained.
I walked over to Draco and high-fived him. Once the music came back on, and people began dancing again, Terry and Zack walked over to Draco and me.
"I guess this means you two are next." Terry said.
"Congratulations." Zack said as he shook Terry's hand.
It was that day, when I realized I was falling for Draco. However, I couldn't let him, or anyone, know. It would ruin my life. I would fall for him, marry him instead of following my dreams, and watch him turn into his father. Then my heart would break, but I would be stuck with him for the rest of my life. I had to go to America. It was either that, or die knowing I gave up my dream for a man.
A/N: What will happen next for our dear Cosette? I promise that she will get to Hogwarts, and you'll just have to read and find out what happens after she graduates. Please review and tell me what you think!
