It seemed pretty cliche that it would rain on a day like this, but that's exactly what it was doing.
Funny how they'd all come together like they had in the end. There were still differences, because everyone had their differences, but this was more important than that. It was kinda like elementary school, even secondary school, where there were certain individuals that would either like or hate other individuals, and they couldn't ever resolve their differences because to some extent, they just didn't want to. It felt good to dislike someone in a way, because, hey, no one can like everyone. Unlike the drops of rain that ran down the gutters and houses and trees and whatever else and collected into puddles, they were all different things. Oil, water, stone... All things that couldn't possibly come together as one. They couldn't ever get along.
But one person knows someone else, who invites another, who invites another, and pretty soon you have Gryffindors hanging out with Slytherins and Hufflepuffs talking to kids of Death Eaters and Anthony actually getting along with Clare as everyone desperately tried to find a way to avoid the rather unexpected downpour. Suddenly, there was no oil or stone or marble or anything else. They were all just drops of water, pooling together because they'd found that little thing between them that was all alike.
They could have all just left, actually. By now, the service was over, but people were sticking around. Then again, it was a rather important day, and maybe the truce wouldn't last very long... But it was happening now, and no one could complain.
It was funny how the rain had ruined their wedding day, but Daphne and Michael just looked out at the others and smiled.
