On December 30, Luna woke up and looked at the calendar, letting out a small gasp. It was the day of Remus and Hestia's wedding. Luna jumped out of bed and configured a howler to send through the house. It read, "Wake Up!" She prayed that this would set off that horrible witch of a mother, Mrs. Black. After she finished writing and sealing it, she opened it up and let it scream. Luna's prayer was answered and soon the rest of the house was up trying to shut up the cursed picture. Only Harry saw Luna smiling slightly, and when he met her eyes she looked a bit guilty, although it was hidden very well.
Once Harry got the picture to calm down, the rest of the house bustled about trying to get ready. Tonks, Hermione, and Molly, who had arrived last night along with the rest of the surviving Weasleys, helped Hestia get into her wizarding gown. Instead of the traditional white, Hestia had opted for a mint green. Tonks did Hestia's hair while Hermione did the makeup. Mrs. Weasley just looked on with the eagerness of a little girl. Once Hestia was done, they portkeyed over to the chapel.
Meanwhile, Harry, Draco, Neville, and Ron were helping Remus get ready. This took quite a while, even if he was a man, Remus wanted to be perfect, he was finally marrying his Hogwarts Sweet heart. The only problems were Sirius wasn't the Best Man, James and Peter weren't the groomsmen, Lily wasn't the Maid of Honor, and Emmaline, Paula, and Kerina weren't the bridesmaids. Emmaline Vance had been Sirius' girlfriend, he proposed to her before Azkaban and she had accepted; now both were dead. Paula was Peter's girlfriend, they, too, were both dead. Kerina was Luna's mother, and she was dead. Instead, Harry was the Best Man and Tonks was the Maid-of-Honor. Ron, Neville, and Draco were the groomsmen while Hermione, Fleur, Molly, and Luna were the bridesmaids.
Finally, Remus was ready and they left for the chapel. By three o' clock, everything was ready. Remus, Harry, Ron, Neville, and Draco watched the aisle as the bridesmaids walked down it. Hermione was first, followed by Fleur and Molly. When Luna walked up the aisle everyone turned to see her. She wore the sapphire dress that the other three bridesmaids wore, it just looked better on her. Once she reached Harry, the attention was averted back to Hestia. There were gasps and tears as Hestia walked down the aisle. Remus stood there, beaming at her. When she reached him, they exchanged their vows and joined themselves in Holy Matrimony. Remus leaned down and kissed his wife. It was a historic day in Wizarding history, Remus was the first werewolf to ever legally marry.
Hestia and Remus led the way to the dance hall. It was beautifully perfumed with different herbs, and the walls were brilliantly decorated with flowers and moons. Hestia and Remus shared the first dance. It was slow tune written by Three Eyed Newt. Hestia leaned close to Remus as the tune began.
If I ran from you
Is there nothing you could do?
Do you really have that much faith in me?
If I never returned,
Is it a lesson been learned?
I don't think I could stay away that long.
No matter how many times
I've lost you
No matter how many times you've cried
Our love has stayed strong
You are where I belong.
Everyone thought we were crazy
Going against the world as we did
Nobody realized
That you and I would survive
You showed me love
You saved my soul
If I didn't have you
I'd be weak, I'd be old.
No matter how many times
I've lost you
No matter how many times you've cried
Our love has stayed strong
You are where I belong.
Hestia and Remus parted for the father daughter dance, which Hestia was not able to take part in. Luna led her father to the dance floor. She was followed by Keira and Fleur. Almost everyone else had lost their father in the war. The song was 'Phoenix Kisses' by James Steward. After that song, the couples split up and began to dance.
Hestia and Remus left around eight for their honeymoon in Fiji. After they left, the guests slowly left and soon it was only the Weasleys, Harry, Luna, Ron, Hermione, Fleur, Angelina, and the rest of the group. They spent the next two hours cleaning up before the headed home.
After the Weasleys, including Ron, Hermione, Fred, Lee, Alicia, Fleur, Bill, and Molly, left, Draco and Harry played a game of exploding snap with Neville and Tonks. Mrs. Longbottom, Neville's grandmother, went to bed early and Luna was curled up on the couch stroking Lotta absently while she read her book. Around midnight, the group went upstairs to sleep. Mr. and Mrs. Lupin wouldn't be back until after the holidays. Harry laid in bed rethinking the day's events, smiling to himself. Atleast one of the Marauders would have their happily ever after ending, just like the Three Musketeers, only one had their happy ended.
Harry walked to the end of the platform as the red engine pulled up. Luna and Neville stood next to him, both ready to board the train.
"I love you," Luna stated as she got on the train. She would have to leave now because of the Head Girl and Boy meeting.
"I love you too, I'll write, I promise!" Harry called out. Luna smiled and blew him a kiss before the train gave its final whistle. Harry watched as it pulled away, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Hey now," Tonks said, "Don't you cry!" Harry smiled, took her arm, and the two left the station.
