And now with out further adu, THE WEDDING!
p-s thanks to my dearest friend for reading this one over for me!
It was July 15th the day of what was being called, "The Wedding of the Year!"
Every one was up early that morning, running around getting ready. Hermione was taken via Hedwig right to the church to get ready with the rest of the girls. She was in a fit a fear, especially after hearing all about the wedding fairies from Luna the night before.
Ron and the boys where getting ready at the Burrow which wasn't as hard as one would believe with only one bathroom. Poor Fred, George, Sirius and James were still recovering from spending a long night as Buffoons, well that was until Remus found the counter curse.
Ron, in Harry's opinion was a wreck. He had taken about four showers, brushed his teeth at least a dozen times and could not stop fussing over his hair.
"Mate calm down." Harry said, chasing after his friend who was pacing across the room.
"Calm down! CALM DOWN! Harry do you realize what I'm doing? I'm marrying Hermione Granger! The smartest girl in our year, oh bloody hell probably the smartest witch to enter Hogwarts since Rowen Ravenclaw!" Ron said, nerves shooting out of him like fire works.
"Ron! She's your best friend! She the girl you love! I know you'll be fine. You may spend nights on the couch! She may even threaten to hex you into a toad but remember Ron none of it could be worse than what Sirius or I would do to you if you hurt her." Harry said, only half serious.
"Thanks mate. Your really helping." Ron said sarcastically as there was a knock on Ron's door.
"Son may I come on." the two younger boys heard Ron's father say.
"Door's open Da!" Ron said as the oldest Weasley male came walking in, shining with pride at his youngest son.
Harry stood up, "well I'm gonna go see to breakfast." he said, giving them some time alone.
"So," Arthur said, "it's the big day."
"Yeah,"Ron said nervously as he stood by his mirror adjusting his tie that Hermione insisted that he wear.
"Ron I don't think you and I ever had that father son talk that I gave to the rest of the boys," Arthur started but was stopped by Ron.
"No worries dad. Bill and Charlie filled me in on the finer points as soon as they found out Hermione and I where dating." Ron said.
"They did!" Arthur said surprised.
Ron nodded and continued to try and fix his tie.
"Would you like some help with that?" Arthur asked.
Ron nodded his head.
Arthur fixed his son's tie and when he was done patted Ron on the back.
"I don't know if I've ever told you Ron but between us you have made me the most proud to have you as a son."
"You're just saying that because I'm a heir." Ron replied, with no malice but what he believed as truth.
"No Ron. No! Heir or not you have made me so proud. You stuck up for what you believed in. You stood by your friends no matter how hard it was to. You fought against the greatest evil of our time and won. You fell in love and you held on to it. You've been loyal, faithful, loving. When you where born, when each of your brothers and your sister where born all I ever wanted was for the lot of you to be happy. To be happy and good people. And out of all of them Ron you have exceeded my expectations." Arthur said taking a deep breath to continue.
"And know your 18 and your getting married. I just want you to know Ron I'm proud and I will always be here for you." he finished.
Ron looked at his father, "thanks da! Th...that means a lot to me." Ron said as the two men, the youngest towering over the oldest embraced in a father son hug when there was a racket out side the door. The two men gave each other strange looks before heading to the door and pulling it open to find Ron's brothers and Harry sitting at the door, having listened to the convo.
"Well," Ron said, "what areyou lot waiting around for? We have a wedding to get to." Ron said feeling a lot better about this day, his wedding day.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Hermione hold still so I can finish your make up!" Blaise demanded.
"And so I can finish your hair!" Susan said.
Hermione was sitting in front of the mirror in a pink bath robe as her friends, her family was finishing her hair and make-up.
"Oh Hermione you look like an angel!" Lily said.
Hermione made no reply. Her nerves were taking over her body. She was so nervous. What if this was a mistake. It had never been in Hermione's book to be married at 18, true love or not.
"Hermione relax!" Ginny said as she was finishing her own make up and slipping into her maid of honors dress.
"Where are the kids?" Hermione asked, trying to displace her worries.
"Oh don't worry. Draco along with Bobby and Mark are getting them ready. He'll bring them to the church and they will seat anyone who arrives early." Susan said.
"Draco with the kids!" Hermione and Ginny said in fright!
"Draco is very good with children!" Scarlet said, defending her biological brother.
"Alright well it's time for thesomething old, something new, something borrowed
and something blue." Beverly said to her god daughter as the girls gathered around.
"Who wants to go first?" Beverly asked.
"I will!" Zizi said pulling out of her bag a box.
"Something borrowed." Zizi proclaimed, handing it to Hermione.
Hermione look at the box with curiosity then opened it. Laying inside the box was a gold braclet in laid with all diffrent types of gems.
"It's a part of the Potter family. Any female, being a Potter or marrying into the family is supposed to wear it. When the ceremony is over a new gem will materalize on the bracelet. It then will return to the Potter vault till Ginny and Harryget married and her own gemwill beplaced on. It's apart of the family history. My gem is the black one, Lily's the emerald green." Zizi finished as she helped her daughter clip it on.
Hermione hugged her mother and could not help but admire the gems that ran all over the bracelet. They seemed neverending.
"Alright me next!" Ginny said.
"From the maid of honor to the bride." Ginny said proudly as she handed Hermione a white box that was tied with a blue ribbon.
"Something blue." Ginny said as Hermione opened the box to find a blue silk night gown in it.
Hermione's cheeks turned bright red as she quickly closed the box.
"Thanks." was all she was able to squeak out.
"Alright our turn!" Luna said holding another small blue box.
"This is from all of your friends. We hope you like!" Luna said in a very dreamy yet happy voice.
Hermione opened the box to find two beautiful diamond earings.
"Oh Merlin. Thank you, they are absolutely beautiful." Hermione said giving all of her friends hugs of thanks.
"Not a problem!" Luna said, "though I still believe the bee earings would of been prudent." Luna finished.
Hermione was going to ask what they were but after a dangerous look from Ginny decided she better not.
"Alright well that leaves me as last." Beverly said holding out another box, slightly larger than the one the earings came in.
"It was your mothers. Well I mean, well you know what I mean dear. She wore it on her wedding day as did her mother before her and her mother before hers. I thought you'd like to wear it on your own. Something old" Beverly finished handing the box to Hermione.
Nervously Hermione opened the box to find a gold chain and hanging from it was a tarnished yet lovely owl.
Hermione could not help it as she burst out laughing, as Ginny and Luna did upon seeing the owl.
Hermione always believed her animagus form was the owl because she was smart, "wise old owl." But it seemed she was wrong, it seemed owls had been apart of her longer then she remembered.
With her Aunt's help Hermione put it right on and hugged Beverly.
"Alright" Janisa said, whipping away a tear that was threatening to come out as she remembered leading the Grangers to the other side when they died.
"Hermione you have a dress that needs putting on!"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It was time, the wedding would soon begin. Dumbledore who would be preforming the cermony was standing at the head of the church. Ron was standing just below him, bouncing from one foot to the next. Harry was standing next to him trying to coax him to stand still but to no avail.
Colin Creevy was standing around taking pictures, he had been hired by the couple as the photographer. Mr. Lovegood was standing next to him, whispering. Since Ron and Hermione's wedding was a hot topic amongst the press but the couple did not want swarm of reporters they decided to let Luna's father cover it, seeing as he was already on the guest list anyway.
The music started and the doors opened. First came Chris and Jason, the ring bearers. Behind the boys where Bobby and Mark, mostly to make sure the two younger ones did not go running off with the rings.
Next came Anne, skipping down the isle and throwing, yes throwing, rose petals every where, even at guests in their pewsand to Ron's and Harry joy at Snape. When she got to the end of the isle she stood next to her daddy. What could she say (well seeing as she is 2 not much) but she was a daddy's girl
The music countinued and in came Ron's brother Bill (his fiancé Fleur waving to him in the pews) with Blaise on his arm. Next came Charlie and Susan. Followed by Percy and Scarlet, Fred and Rose, George and Janisa, Neville and Luna. Then came Ginny alone, holding a bouquet of mixed flowers.
Then the wedding march began and there Ron watched as Hermione, the love of his life walked towards him. "She is absolutely beautiful." he thought as she came closer.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Hermione watched all of her friends, her bride's maids and groomsmen walk down the isle. She was so nervous. Her father, Sirius stood next to her.
"Hermione you need to calm down." Sirius said, hating to see his daughter so distress.
Hermione looked at her father with her big brown intense eyes and asked simply, "Am I doing the right thing?"
Sirius was taken aback, surprised that this thought had even been on her mind. And then the thought occurred to him, "how was he suppose to answer her?"
With a heavy sigh Sirius asked, "Could you imagine going on each day, day after day with out him?"
"No," Hermione answer, "No I need to be with him."
"Then," Sirius said "you will be walking down this isle!"
Hermione kissed Sirius on the cheek and said, "Thank you dad."
Sirius could not help the grin that spread clear across his face just as the wedding march began.
"Ready?" Sirius asked.
Hermione nodded and put her arm threw her dad's and as the song went on so did they.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
The music stopped, Dumbeldore said, "who gives this lovely woman to be married?"
"I do." Sirius said, kissing Hermione's hand and then handing it to Ron before taking his seat next to his wife and best mate.
The ceremony began. Dumbledore preached for a few minutes about love and the trials they had be through to get where they are today. How love can lift you up and some other things that Harry kinda tuned out.
"Does any one object to the joining of these two in love?" Dumbledore asked.
Every Weasley brother looked out at all the guest, each giving their own malice face, Ginny did as well, holding her wand out.
With no objections made, Dumbledore took the rings from Jason and Chris which to Harry looked like two little furry rings. Two gold little fury metal rings with teeth.
Hermione and Ron stared at the two objects oddly, they had not been the rings that they both had chosen but neither wanted to interrupt the ceremony that was binding their souls.
"Do you Hermione Granger Black take one Ronald Weasley as your husband. Through the good and bad, through richer or poorer. In sickness and heath. As long as your love will last into eternity?" Dumbldore asked.
"I do," Hermione replied.
"Then please take this ring and place it on Ron's hand. Repeat after me." Dumbledore said as Hermione slipped the hair band onto Ron's hand. And repeated what Dumbledore said.
"With this ring I thee wed."
"Good, now Mr. Weasley. Lets do the same." Dumbledore said and led Ron through the same thing. When the ring was placed on Hermione hand Dumbledore looked out to the rest of the church.
"I am very happy to be able to introduce to you Mr and Mrs Ronald Weasley." Dumbledore said happily as the couple shared their first kiss as husband and wife when three very funny things occurred.
Bells rang loud, very loud, almost deafening to the point that children started to cry and adults had to cover their ears. The Church doors flew open and doves, beautiful white doves came flying through the church, around the couple. And when the kiss stopped and the two blissfully pulled their lips apart they both shrieked out, "OW!"
"What the..." Ron started but stopped when Hermione gave him a deadly look.
Hermione wrapped her hand into Ron's as they then walked down the isle, every one clapping Hermione whispered into his ear, "Don't let go of my hand."
"Why?" Ron asked, though he had no reason whatsoeverto let go.
"There is a charm on the rings to keep us together. Until I can find a counter curse we must hold hands." Hermione said.
"Hermione," Ron whispered back as they exited the church doors and went into the limo that would bring them to the burrow.
"I would not let go even if there was no crazy man-eating rings on us."
Hermione just smiled, leaned over and kissed him.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The sun was just going down, the half moon rising into the sky while a gentle breeze told every one that night was on it's way. But for now it was time to eat at the Weasley wedding reception. But none of Mrs. Weasley's famous food (with the help of Winky of course) could be touched until the best man gave his speech.
Harry stood up, clearing his ears. Everytime that day Hermione and Ron kissed a loud church bell would go off. Harry suspected it was the working of Fred and George but had this icky feeling the marauders had something to do with it as well.
"I was never very good at giving speeches but seeing as two of the most important people in my life just got married it seems I must." Harry said starting off.
"I remember when we all first met on the train. No offense Hermione but Ron and I absolutely found you to be a very annoying know it all. Well it seems the cosmos have a funny sense of humor seeing as Ron and I would not be standing here today if it wasn't for your knowledge, your brain but most importantly your heart." Harry continued, turning Hermione's cheeks red.
"And Ron, the best mate any guy could ask for. Maybe one day you'll even let me win a game of chess ay?" Harry asked causing anyone who had ever played Wizard's chess with Ron to laugh.
"No but in all seriousness you two have been the best friends I could ever ask for. And I am proud no I feel privileged to be able to stand here today and wish my two friends to best of luck. Hermione may your wits be about and Ron may your temper be in check." Harry finished holding up his glass as every one yelled "CHEERS!"
Harry re-took his seat as his girlfriend stood up.
"Hey every one, Ron, Hermione. Now I know it isn't tradition really for the maid of honor to give a speech but hey this is the 21st century after all." Ginny said as she saw Harry chuckle.
"I don't know what to say to you guys. Ron though you may be overbearing at times as well as a git and Hermione I still don't understand how you can out up with him I could not see either one of you with anyone else. And I know every one in the room would agree with me when I say thank Merlin. You two were meant for each other. And I want to thank you both. You have been great friends to me, loyal and well you're even the god parents of Harry and my children." Ginny said reaching to her seat and bringing back a white envelope.
"I wish I could do more to thank you both but well Harry and I talked about it. Alright I talked he just gave me the galleons but well this is for you guys." Ginny said giving the envelope to Hermione who with Ron's free hand was able to open the envelope.
Hermione gasped with surprise when she realized what the gift was.
"Ginny, Harry this is too much." Hermione said.
"Nah! I personally think you deserve more." Harry replied.
"Well!" Sirius yelled over "what is it?"
Now you must understand Ron and Hermione had decided to not go on a honeymoon any time soon. The money the ministry had awarded them they were going to put away and buy a house of their own. Though Ron also secretly wanted to leave it away as well in hopes of one day having a bunch of little kids with red curly hair running around said house.
"A trip." Hermione said.
Finding her voice, "A honeymoon. A cruise to the Caribbean." Hermione finally got out.
"Wicked!" Ron said.
"I'd hug you guys." Hermione said, keeping herself from crying with happiness, "but I'd like to keep my fingers." she said holding up her and Ron's hand.
"Silly fairies left the spell on the rings." Luna said walking over with her wand.
"Fairies?" Ron asked.
"Yes. The fairies wanted to make sure that Hermione seeing you the other night would not cause you both to be cursed. So they cast a spell to keep you together." Luna replied taping each of the rings and watching Hermione's turn into a gold band with dark rubies in aid in it. While Ron's turned into a simple gold band.
"Um... thanks" Ron replied
"Call it my wedding present." Luna said stoically as sheran off to join Neville on the dance floor.
"Strange girl if you ask me." Ron said, though he still left his hand in Hermione's.
"So when do we leave?" Hermione asked.
"Tonight." Ginny reasoned.
"But we have not packed!" Hermione said worried.
"No worries we did it for you." Harry replied, "or well Dobby did."
But their conversation was interrupted when three rather short people, Jason, Chris and Anne came running up to the newlyweds holding three different pieces of paper with what looked like to anyone but children scribble scrabble.
"Well what's this?" Ron asked, finally letting go of Hermione's hand topick up his goddaughter and take the paper from her.
"How pretty." he said, trying to figure out what it was.
"Mummy, dada, Uncle On and Aunt Hermine. Family." Anne said, causing every one to smile as they looked at the blobs that would be themselves.
Ginny leaned over against Harry who then kissed her.
"Harry," she said.
"Yes Ginny?"
"Don't think this get's Ron and you off for the other night. Our revenge shall just be delayed." Ginny finished kissing him once again before pulling Harry out onto the dance floor.
