Chapter 9: The Wedding
Thomas headed down to the platform where the train was supposed to pick them up.. Yes them, Mandy had agreed to come with him for moral support. Dumbledore had let them go to Hogsmeade, to buy outfits for the wedding. Thomas and Mandy both had their bags packed for four days, as they hopped on the train. They took a seat in the cabin nearest to the driver, who talked to them through most of the journey. Mandy had also agreed to sing at the wedding, Thomas liked this and had grown accustomed to him and Mandy being friends.
Thomas and Mandy arrived at the Hotel the wedding was being held at, at about 11 AM, which was pretty good depending they left Hogwarts at about 7 AM, and were too young to apparate so did everything the muggle way. Thomas and Mandy didnt see Harry or Annie but did what he had told them to do and go to Thomas' room, 20 and change then meet them back in the tents in the backyard when they got a phone call. Mandy and Thomas went up to the room, and took turns using the bathroom to change, soon Thomas was in his black tuxedo, and yellow and red tie, while Mandy was in her long maroon gown, her long brown hair up in a top half, as she took Thomas' arm and headed downstairs after they got the call. When they got down in the yard The friends and family of Harry and Annie were both there. Thomas knew everyone was there when he saw Oliver Wood, who was Harry's old quidditch captain at Hogwarts. Harry beckoned Thomas over as he stood with a crowd of people who all moved away except for a lady with long dark red hair and grey eyes, she was slightly skinny and wore a long blue gown. "Thomas, this is Annie" Harry said nodding to her, "And Annie, this is my son Thomas.." he said, Thomas extended his hand but Annie didnt take it but put her other hand on Harry's arm. "Lovely.. anyways I'll get us a drink okay darling?" she said to Harry then left. "So you must be Mandy.." Harry said taking her hand and kissing it. "And you must Be Tom's father.." Mandy said nodding, as she noticed Thomas took a tighter grip on her other arm while Harry was kissing her hand, and winced. Thomas noticed her wince and lightened his grip. "Well we'll see you later Dad" he said and tugged Amanda away over to a corner, of the yard. "She's such a.." Thomas muttered pacing, when Amanda took his arm. "Stay that way the entire wedding.. or I'm going to lose it" Thomas whispered, she grinned "Dont worry I'll be there" she said.
She kept her promise, when Annie walked down the aisle and Harry stood there staring at her, she held his hand. He almost got up and walked out til he remembered she was still there, and when they said I do.. he really almost lost it, but she held his hand tighter and glanced to him, he had tears in his eyes, she reached out her other hand and wiped one off, he glanced to her. She whispered something to him and he smiled at her, and stayed atleast til Harry and her walked off together, everyone following for the after party where the bouquet and stuff were thrown. Thomas and Mandy stayed seated, she patted his leg as he was about to cry again. "Dont worry you've still go me" she said, "Now come on I have to sing" she said taking his hand and led him to the after party. (AN: Who hates Harry Now? For getting remarried to Evil Annie?)
Mandy slowly approached the stage and took the microphone which Ronald Weasley handed her and cued them to start the music she had sent and they did..
'When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Let my love throw a spark
Have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try baby and
Have a little faith, faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me, oh
and Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith, faith in me
When your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here baby, from a whisper start
To have a little faith in me
And when your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you,
you will see I will catch your,
I will catch your fall just
Have a little faith, faith in me Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith, faith in me
I've been loving you for such a long, long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
Cos the rest is the end
All you gotta do is have a little faith
I will hold you up, I will hold you up and
Your love gives me strength enough
to Have a little faith in me
Oh faith, darlin'
Have a little faith in me Oh, faith '
Mandy then set the microphone back on the stand as everyone clapped and walked over to where Thomas stood, by the dance floor. The Bride and Groom grinned to her, as Ron gave her a thumbs up, and Ginny Weasley and Hermione Granger went to give a speech. After that they played another song, called 'Cry' by Mandy Moore, and Thomas asked Mandy to dance. As they slow danced to it, Mandy realized this was the way she felt about Thomas, that she knew he was human and liked him when he first cried, and from that moment on she would do anything to make sure he kept smiling, because even though she knew he was human she didnt want to see him cry again.
"Hey Mandy.." Thomas whispered, "Hmm.." She asked, it was now nighttime and they were sitting out on the balcony to their hotel room him behind her and her sitting infront of him as he sat indian styled leaning on his chest a blanket around her. "Will you go to the Yule Ball with me?" he asked, recalling that Dumbledore said there was going to be a Christmas ball. "Of course" she said.
