Chapter 4: The Wedding

The week it seemed had come and went. It was Monday. Harry had already changed into a stunning black tuxedo and had once again failed to control the mess of black hair tangle atop his head. He was going to apparate to the hall where Ally and Ron where soon to be wed. He half-glanced at his watch and saw that he was right on time, a minute more and he would have been late. In a second he had disappeard from the center of his sitting room and had instantly appeard beside Ron making him jump.

"Harry, I thought you were going to be late." he said sounding thoroughly relieved that Harry had finally arrived.

"Not a chance mate." Harry said clapping him on the back.

He then scoured the hall and his eyes fell instantly upon Erika and Caitlin who were talking amongst themselves in the corner. Erika looked very pretty in a beautiful dress of stunning pink with white trim and her hair was tied in a very pretty braid .It seemed as though she had lined her deep brown eyes with a pale pink and her lips were glossed with a pale shimmer.He then turned his eyes to Caitlin. She was wearing a navy blue dress that fell just past her silver shoes and her blonde hair, straightened and tied in a fancy knot atop her head. Her eyes were still again lined heavily in black and a darker gloss upon shimmering lips. Erika had spotted Harry looking at them and waved. Caitlin turned and waved too with a smile upon her face lighting up her porcelaine features. Harry waved nervously back and walked up to them.

"Hiya!" Caitlin said happily

"Hi." Erika said.

"Hello." Harry replied

Ron had just walked over to them.

"Uhh... Caitlin, Ally wants to see you...Erika too.'' he told the girls

Ron pointed to a door on the far left. "She's in there."

Erika and Caitlin nodded and went to said room. They opened the door to find, to their great surprise, that Ally was twirling and dancing in circles. She didn't stop when she saw them come in either.

"Hello Caitlin, Erika." she said smoothly

"Er, Hi Ally." Erika said uncertainly.

Meanwhile, Caitlin had joined her and was now dancing in circles like she was. It seemed that the inaudible music had stopped because Ally and Caitlin stopped dancing and Erika was watching them as though questioning their santiy. Ally turned and was watching herself in the full-length mirror. She looked extremely pretty in a thin strapped dress of white and grey. Her hair was braided with gold ribbon and lay on her shoulder beneath a silk smoke veil.

"Wow, Ally you look very pretty." Caitlin said smiling at her friend while Erika nodded ferevently at her side.

"Thanks." Ally grinned. "Umm.. I wanted to ask you if you would both be my maids of honour."

"Both?" Erika pondered aloud

"I know it's a bit unorthodox but I want the wedding to be original...So will you?" Ally asked

"Of course." Caitlin said excidetly

"Yup." Erika agreed.

Ally turned and handed eack of them a bouquet of blood red roses.

"Thank you guys SO much." she said

"We'll be waiting out there." Erika said gesturing to the door.

"See you soon." said Caitlin still humming the beat she had been dancing to.

They left the room without another word and swept into the hall. It was very crowded. Many people from Hogwarts that Caitlin didn't know. They were about to sit and wait for their part to come but apparently didn't have to wait long, for the slow wedding march had begun. They quickly got to their feet and saw Ally walking along the aisle following two little girls in white dresses and tap shoes throwing flowers along the silk carpet a small boy carrying two rings on a red pin-cushion and her bride's maids. Caitlin and Erika quickly cut into the line right in front of Ally, hoping no one had noticed their late entry. As they reached the alter they stood in a line at Ally's left while she herself stood facing Ron. The old priest at the alter began to speak in a slow drawling voice.

"Dearly Beloved, We are gathered here today to join in Holy matrimony, Alycia Voysey and Ronald Weasley."

He continued in the same dulcet tones for what seemed like hours.

"Just skip to the I-do's." Erika hissed into Caitlin's ear but she wasn't paying attention. She was watching Ron and Ally with a glazed grin on her face which soon disappeard when the priest had reached the best part of the wedding.

"Alycia, Do you wish to take Ronald's hand in marriage, for better or for worse, for health or for sickness, until death would you part?"

"I do." Ally said smiling

"Ronald, Do you wish to take Alycia's hand in marriage, for better or for worse, for health or for sickness, until death would you part?"

"I do." he said quickly with a smile similar to Ally's.

They kissed quickly and the priest's last words were drowned out, the hall had broken into admiring applause. Hand in hand the newly married pair set foot down the aisle. They would drive in a luxurious limmo to the wedding reception. Erika sighed

''How romantic." she muttered.

"I know." Caitlin said "But we kinda have to go or we'll miss the reception."

The girls quickly ran to the girls' bathroom where they were going to disapparate to the other hall.
