The Day I Woke up in My Best Friend's Bed

Chapter Fifteen: The Wedding and Reception Part One

Over the next couple of weeks Harry and I were planning our wedding. It was fun I must say. Although I get the distinct feeling that he wasn't very excited about choosing the different types of flowers for it. He got right into the food though. I smile every time I think about him sitting there with this huge smile on his face as the caterer walked forward and presented him with a huge platter of food.

We decided to have the wedding in the church my parents used to go to, the one they had their wedding in. My mother was so excited when we told her where we were having the ceremony, although we had asked Dumbledore to perform the ceremony, rather than the minister who was a good friend of my parents.

Well, on the morning of the wedding, I woke up in an empty bed. I looked across sleepily to see a note with my name on it in Harry's writing. Yawning widely, I reached over and picked it up:

'Dear Hermione,

Well, I've been told that it's tradition for the bride not to see the groom until the ceremony, so I've left a little early today. I love you so much and I can't wait to be finally married to you.

Forever yours (sounds cheesy, eh?), Harry.'

I smiled and thought out loud, "He's so cute."

"Yes, he is," mum said, poking her head through the door and smiling at me.

"Mum!" I said in surprise.

She grinned and said "We have to get you ready."

I laughed and said, "What's the time?"

"Eight o'clock. Come on Hermione," she said, coming into the room and pulling the bed sheets off my body.

I rolled my eyes and said, "You're such a childish mother."

She smiled and said "I'm just excited for my beautiful little girl."

I smiled back and climbed out of bed and hugged her tightly. "I love you mum," I murmured to her ear.

"I love you too sweetheart. Now, come on. Let's go and have breakfast and then get you ready for the big day," she said with a wide grin on her face.

I smiled and allowed her to steer me out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen.

"I'm going to forget my vows," I said, wringing my hands and breathing very fast.

Ginny rolled her eyes and said, "Honestly, Mione, you won't. And calm down!"

Luna smiled and said, "Yeah, you're only getting married."

Lavender laughed softly at the look on my face as I said, "Only getting married?"

"Calm down sweetheart," Dad said, placing his hands on my shoulders and smiling at me. "This will be the happiest day of your life. Believe me."

I relaxed slightly and smiled at him. "Thanks Dad."

"You ready to go in then?" he asked, offering me his arm.

I took a deep breath and nodded. "Let's go."

The doors to the church opened and Lavender walked through them first, then Luna and finally Ginny. Clinging tightly to my father's arm, I took another deep breath and we stepped into the church after my bridesmaids.

As soon as I saw Harry, all the way down the other end of the aisle, all worry and nervousness disappeared from my mind. He was standing there with Ron, Draco and Neville, all three of them grinning at me.

Anyway.

Harry just looked so … well, hot. His hair wasn't neat at all – really quite the opposite, but I love his hair like that. He was standing there with a huge grin on his face as he watched my father and I walk down the aisle. He was wearing a simple black suit, as were his groomsmen. I remember wondering how he could make such a simple outfit look so sexy.

When we reached him, Dad kissed my cheek and passed me on to Harry. Then he walked over to my mother and sat down next to her.

"Hi," Harry whispered, taking my hair and staring straight down at my eyes.

I smiled and whispered back, "Hi."

Dumbledore smiled as he stood before us and said, "Thank you all for being here today …"

All throughout the ceremony I was just holding Harry's hand tightly and fighting my need to turn my head and focus my attention on him, rather than Dumbledore.

When Dumbledore came to our vows he paused and then said, "The bride and groom would now like to say something to each other. Harry."

Harry turned to me and grinned. I smiled back as he began to speak.

"Hermione. You know, I think I'm the luckiest man in the world to have you. You've always been there for me, whether or not I needed the support. In all these years of knowing you, there has not been another influential woman who has taught me as much as you have. You've saved me countless times, mostly from myself. And you fought Voldemort with me, helping me defeat him and almost dying for me. Today I stand here more in love with you than I have ever been. I vow to always support you and be faithful to you. I promise I'll always be there to comfort you when you need it. And I promise to always love you, to the ends of the earth and beyond. I love you Hermione Jane Granger and nothing will ever change that." And with that he slid a ring onto my finger.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Hermione?"

I looked up at Harry and smiled, feeling tears gathering at the corners of my eyes. I cleared my throat and began to speak.

"Harry. All through my school life you have been there to always make me smile. And ever since we've left school you've never stopped doing that. You've saved my life countless times and you've taught me what is worth dying for. You were the first real friend I had at Hogwarts, the first person to see past my 'book-wormy-ness' and the first person to recognise me for who I am. These past months, being with you, have been the most wonderful months of my life. And I know that we will continue to be this happy throughout our lives together. I vow here, in the presence of everyone important in our lives, to always and forever support you and be faithful to you. I promise you that I'll always be there to comfort you and I promise to always love you. I love you Harry James Potter and not even the most powerful force on this earth can change that." I opened my hand to find his wedding band on the palm of it. I smiled and slid it onto his finger.

"Does anyone object to these two people joining in matrimony?" Dumbledore asked, looking around the room. I assume no one raised their hand or stood up because Dumbledore smiled and looked down at Harry and me. "Then I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."

Harry turned to me again and lifted my veil. "Good wedding?" he asked, slipping his arms around my waist and pulling me to him.

I put my arms around his shoulders and grinned and said, "Best ever."

He grinned back and kissed me.
