Summary: Ron's going to marry an American Muggle!?!?!? Hermione secretly in love with Ron and trying to break up the wedding!?!?!? Harry's gay and with Neville!?!?!? Based on the movie starring Julia Roberts, which I am watching now.

DISCLAIMER: Let's face it. I don't own jack squat lol. The plot belongs to everyone associated with My Best Friend's Wedding and the characters all belong to J.K Rowling (lucky I would buy them off of her if I could) HAPPY READING!! R/R!


Hermione walked into the press box holding a tray with 14 beers on it and said, "Which one of you fellows ordered two beers?"

Ron looked up at her and jumped up, frantic, saying, "Let me give you a hand."

"Why, Ronald, you unwittingly imply that I'm clumsy!" Hermione smiled.

"Well..." Ron started laughing.

She glared at him jokingly as she went down the row with the tray.

Ron said, "Oh, yes Hermione Granger, this is Hank from the Daily Prophet and Jerry from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, and you know Ludo Bagman."

She nodded and picked two cups up off of the tray and handed them to Hank and Jerry. She picked up another and handed it to Ludo. Ron sat there dumbstruck as to how the once clumsy best friend of his suddenly became graceful.

"That's my future father-in-law, Walter Wallace."

She smiled and picked up two cups and handed them to the smiling man. Ron shook his head and said, "How are you doing this? You're on drugs!"

Walter said to her just loud enough for Ron to hear as well, "If he gives you grief, I'll have him skillfully beaten where the wounds won't show."

"I guess getting him whacked is politically out of the question?"

Walter laughed, "Under the circumstances. Pleasure to know you Hermione."

"Nice meeting you as well Walt."

Ron smiled and said, "This man you know."

Hermione smiled and bent down to hug him, "I sure do. Hullo Mr. Weasley."

"Hello Hermione! You gonna be my son's best man?" Arthur Weasley looked up at her and smiled.

"Best everything, Mr. W. but I'm going to dance with you."

"Dance? You don't dance! Not since you were 14!" Ron laughed.

"I got moves you've never seen before," smiled Hermione as she walked towards him with what was left on the tray. She didn't look down at the junk that was blocking her path and Ron was about to warn her when she walked gracefully over it and put the tray down, grinning.

Ron looked purely shocked and said, "You're an imposter! What have you done with my best friend?"

Hermione smiled and said, "I'm still your best friend, you just haven't seen me in a while."

Ron smiled.


They sat on top of the press box and looked out at the game. The Steelers were winning. She cleared her throat and said, "I just admire your maturity that's all. I mean, there are people who would find that kind of perfection boring. Day after day, year after year..."

"See, that's what I thought at first. How can you like someone that perfect? No potential for long-range livability."

Ron paused to take a sip of his beer before continuing, "Luckily, the more I watched, the more fault came into focus. Each imperfection, its own adorable slice of vulnerability."

"Such as?"

"She's too genuine."

Hermione raised her eyebrows and Ron said, "How can you trust someone you can never mistrust?"

"What's next?" she asked, not looking at him.

When he didn't reply she finally looked over at him. He was looking at her, smiling, but not at her. He said, "She does have a few really good traits."

"Give me one of 'em," Hermione said, shifting slightly.

"When I hug her, even in public, I don't have to let go right away. She lets me hold her as long as I want."

Hermione looked away feeling as though she was about to cry. He looked so in love with Kim. He glanced at her and said, "What? Oh yeah. I forgot...you and that yucky love stuff. You always get like that when it gets sentimental."

Hermione looked at him. "I do not."

"Okay."

"Well, when we were-- when you and I were-- When we were--"

"Together?" Ron said, helpfully.

"Uh-huh. OK, well did I? When--"

Ron looked away from her for a minute and said, "Yes."

Hermione looked hoping he'd look back at her with those brown eyes, "Yes what?"

He looked into her eyes, "Yes you pulled away when I tried to hug you in pubic."

Hermione looked down and sighed before looking back up and saying, "Well I've changed! I mean I'm not the girl that I once was."

"Really?"

"Uh-huh."

"Any relationship over two weeks I should know about?" he asked looking out at the game.

"This isn't longevity, Ron, this is about being comfortable with the yucky love stuff and I am."

Ron looked at her skeptically.

"I am!" she complained.

Ron laughed. "Alright."
