Chapter 44-The wedding
It was the last day of school. Gryffindor had won the house cup. Tara was annoying the group with her constant "I can't wait...I can't wait till the wedding!" Tara had srarted counting down till the wedding in mid-May.
The group got a compartment at the end of the train to go back to Kings Cross. Tara saw her mum and Viktor waiting at the station. He was surrounded by a group of people no doubt asking for autographs. Tara ran out of the train so fast it was like she was on fire.
"25 days!!!" she squealed.
"I know...so close yet so far." said Padma.
James, Amber, Daniel, Chester and Malcolm had just got off the train.
"Err...Tara?" asked James tapping her on the shoulder.
"You broke the compartment door on your mad dash outside..." he said unmistakably trying not to laugh.
"Okay..."
"You owe Hogwarts 12 galleons."
"Alright." shrugged Tara.
"I'll see you at the wedding then." said James hugging his girlfriend goodbye.
"If your not there Potter there will be one girl that will be very upset."
"I'll be there, don't worry, I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Bye."
"Ciao."
Tara had been sent to her room 62 times before the wedding. That would be thought impossible but it wasn't.
The wedding was being held at noon on the 25th. Padma had picked a flowerly lace white dress. Not a veil but a tiara.
"Tara?" asked her mum.
"Yea?"
"I'm really nervous. I can't wait though. It's today and I think I'm going to flop!"
"Flop? Never heard that word used in that term before." said Tara polishing the tiara while her mum was getting into her dress.
"I LOOK LIKE A PENGUIN!" complained Viktor in a totally different room. This made Tara and Padma burst out with hysterical laugher.
James had volunteered to help Viktor get ready.
It was just a small wedding, just family and Tara's friends excluding Chester and Malcolm. Both of them hadn't been spending time with the others since the ball. Chester was still heart-broken.
"Mum, me and James are going for a walk, I'll be back before it starts, just our friends should be arriving soon." said Tara handing her mum the tiara.
"Alright."
Tara went out the door and went to Viktor's room and got James and they made they're way to the entrance of the chapel.
"It's a beautiful day for a wedding, isn't it?" asked Tara sitting down on the steps, James sitting too.
"Yea, very nice."
"Amber and Daniel should be arriving soon." said Tara looking at her watch.
"Yes, we should." said Amber. She was standing behind James and Tara with Daniel.
"I didn't know this chapel had a fire place, I looked for one..." said Tara.
"Well, we found it." said Amber.
"Come on, let's go inside. Everyone is here."
(A/N: I don't know wedding ceremonies so I'm skipping it and going to the end of it.)
"This is going to be...weird." sighed Tara.
"Why?" asked James.
"Viktor isn't going to be my real dad. Draco was so much different...evil...Viktor isn't evil, he's a cool guy!"
"So?"
"I don't know, I'm just talking, don't mind me..."
"Will all the ladies please come up here to catch the boquet?" said Viktor over everyone talking. They all moved into a room that sort of resembled a smaller Great Hall.
Tara and Amber got up and stood with the rest of the girls in Tara's family.
"3...2...1!" Padma flung the flowers behind her and they fell into Tara's arms without her going for it.
"James! Your getting married buddy! Hah!" said Daniel nudging James.
"Yea, um...no! I'm only 14, Tara's not even 14...we are still a little too young, don't you think?"
"Hey, Tara, come here please!" called Padma.
"Hmm?"
"Either go to your friends house or stay home alone for the rest of the summer. Viktor and I are going to Hawaii in America for the rest of the summer."
"I'll stay home..."
"No parties, just your birthday party. I have left 100 galleons in your sock drawer for emergencies only! I'll see you at Christmas dear."
"Bye mum, Bye Viktor. Don't get into any trouble now." said Tara waving and laughing.
Everyone had left except Tara, Amber, Daniel and James.
"WOOHOO!" shouted Tara which shocked everyone.
"What's so...'woohoo'?" asked a puzzled Daniel.
"I get the Malfoy mansion to myself for the rest of the summer!"
"Whoa, sweet!" they all exclaimed.
"I know and I have a perfect idea!" she said almost choking on air. "All three of you should sleep over until school starts then the night before school starts we'll take the Knight Bus to Kings Cross to take the train to school!"
"I'm in!" said James automatically.
"Me too." said both Amber and Daniel.
"Meet at my house at 6:00pm tonight and I'll get somewhere set up to sleep.
They all made they're way to the fireplace and used a bit of Ambers Floo powder and went to their separate homes.
