Chapter 21 – Something Wicked This Way Comes...
Hermione's face turned into a frown.
"Tell me, Harry Potter," Hermione started, "Why should I put that ring on."
Everyone at the party started to jeer Hermione. "Don't be such a nag, Hermione," Ron taunted, "Just say yes!"
"Don't be a busybody Ron," Harry said. Turning to Hermione, Harry said, "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever set my eyes on. I love you from the bottom of my heart and I want to be with you forever."
Hermione's frown turned into a smile. "That's all I wanted to hear."
Everyone started applauding and cat-calling as Harry slid the ring on Hermione's finger and they kissed passionately in front of everyone.
"Drinks are on Harry tonight!" Luna shouted.
"Hey bartender!" Katie roared through the noise," Give us another 20 Butterbeers!"
Everyone cheered as the Butterbeers flew to the table. Harry laughed as Fred slapped him in the back. Now, to start the preparations...
The next few days were one of the most hectic in Harry's life. The Ministry apparently has no "wedding benefits", because Harry and Hermione were suddenly piled up with loads of work.
"It's like that." Ron whizzed over on his chair towards Harry as his head was under files. "When the both of us got hitched, the Ministry piled on more work on me and Cho. Pissed her off so much that she quit and became a full-time Quidditch player. They gave us so much work; we were doing it during our wedding night. There wasn't even enough time for us to have sex." Ron whispered in Harry's ear.
Harry sighed and turned back into his work. Cho certainly had it good playing Quidditch. Now playing for the champions Tornadoes, she was definitely earning more than Ron's 50 Galleons a month. After a wonderful season, Cho now was called up for the England team for the European Championship in a month's time. Harry always wanted to play for England...
"And its Potter going past Krum here, in the World Cup final!" Ludo Bagman's voice boomed around the stadium, "Potter's close here, can he catch the Snitch? Krum's catching up here. Potter stretches out his hand to grab the Snitch..."
"AHHHHH!!!!!!" A bloodcurdling scream filled through the whole office. Harry awoke from his slumber and saw his outstretched hand on Tonks' waist.
"Sorry Tonks." Harry muttered.
"It's you, Harry." Tonks said, rather relieved. "Looks like you haven't got much sleep, eh."
Harry nodded and simultaneously led out a yawn.
"Aww... poor thing. You must be busy preparing for you wedding. By the way, when it is?" Tonks asked
"Next Friday." Harry said, stifling another yawn.
"It's quite close eh. Tell you what, you and Hermione take the day off and go and rest." Tonks said.
Harry's emerald eyes lit up. "Finally, some private time." Harry thought. "Thanks, Tonks." Harry said
"I know what you guys are going to do." Ron pulled Harry over. "Whatever you do, don't dirty my book."
The big day was only tomorrow. Hermione was staying at Patil twins' house for the night, accompanied by Lavender, Cho, and Luna. Harry was at Ron's house with Fred and George, Seamus and Dean.
That night, Harry and his guy pals had one hell of a drinking session. In this little party, everyone was unwittingly letting out their deepest secrets. George admitted that he liked Alicia Spinnet, the second of the 3 Gryffindor Seekers in their year. Fred told everyone that Angelina looked demure from the outside; actually she was an animal, especially in bed...
"The time now is... 9.00 am." Harry's watch sounded. Groggily, Harry sat up and looked at his watch...
"SHIT!!!" Harry shouted. "Wake up!!! Wake up!!!" he shouted while shaking everyone. "We're late!!!"
Everyone woke up in a hurry. Quickly, they put on their tuxs and apperated to Hogsmeade. From there, they ran to Hogwarts.
The Great Hall in Hogwarts was the setting for the wedding. As it was the summer break, no one was in the school, so Dumbledore gave permission for his former Head Boy and Head Girl to have their wedding there.
The whole hall was only quarter-full when they rushed in, to the bemusement of everyone there. Wiping off his sweat, Harry went around greeting the guests.
Harry saw Tonks, his boss. Lupin was also amongst the guests. Harry also spotted Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore gleaming with pride.
An hour passed, still no sign of Hermione or her bridesmaids. Harry didn't suspect anything. "Must be putting on make-up" Harry re-assured himself.
Another half-hour passed. Harry was starting to get worried. "You know where Hermione is?" he asked Ron.
"No idea." Ron replied, shrugging his shoulders.
"Harry!!" Cho ran into the hall, holding a piece of paper. "Something's happened!" Cho stuffed the piece of paper into Harry's hands.
I have your bride, Potter. Meet me at the Chamber of Secrets with your entire DA. This battle will determine whether the wizarding world is saved, or it might succumb to the Dark Arts...
P.S I have someone you would want to see...
