Oh this is so wonderful. Blaise looks so beautiful in that dress, and Harry looks so happy every time he looks at her. Is it any wonder that I'm in floods of tears?
So, after at least two years, Blaise and Harry are finally getting married. When they announced it after Voldemort was defeated, we were surprised that it was happening so fast. But I suppose they've waited long enough for it; and they genuinely love each other. Anyone can see that.
Just watching them say their vows reminds me of my own wedding. Happiest day of my life? Of course it was, even if it was quite small. But I didn't mind, a little wedding was a small price to pay to marry Ron. I'd have run away to Las Vegas if I'd had to. Although Molly wouldn't have been to pleased.
I look up and see Ron smiling fondly down at me, and I just know he's thinking about our wedding too. I smile weakly back before burying my face in a tissue; I can't see the wedding, but I can hear it and that brought a fresh wave of tears to my eyes. It's silly, I know, but I can't help it; it's just so amazing seeing Blaise and Harry finally get married after all this time.
After the wedding, there was a party of course. The bride and groom were all smiles and just radiating happiness. While Ron went to talk to Harry, I went to talk to Blaise.
When I first met Blaise, I couldn't stand her. I thought she was a stuck up snob, with an attitude problem: a typical Slytherin. She seemed right for Malfoy back then, and I lost count of all the times I told Harry to get rid of her. They weren't an item back then. Of course, later I realised she was nervous and she wasn't herself. So when she and Harry started to date, she was completely different from the Blaise that began work for the Order eight months previously.
Anyway, I went over, congratulated her, told her she looked beautiful in her wedding dress and said she had to tell me what her honeymoon was like when she came back.
"I will" she smiled, "but I might have to spare you some of the details"
"Well, I don't want to know everything" I laughed.
We chatted for a while; but instead of me asking her questions, she asked me all about my kids.
"What are their names?" she asked, watching the three of them chasing each other around the dance hall.
"Anna, Simon and Matthew" I replied.
Simon and Matthew are twins and the look exactly like their dad. Anna looks like me, with the same bushy brown hair and brown eyes that I have.
"They're so cute" Blaise said slightly wistfully.
"Do you want kids?"
"Yes, but not yet. I am in no way ready for them right now." She laughed softly. "I've thought about it though"
When most people had left and my three began to get irritable and sleepy, I decided it was time for us to go too. I searched for Harry and Blaise and hugged them both.
"Have a wonderful honeymoon" I said, "We'll see you when you get back"
They smiled and thanked me then Ron and I left.
I put Anna and the twins to bed and then went downstairs, sitting on the couch with Ron. We talked about the wedding for a while then about life in general. I love nights like these; they're often better than going out. Ron can be so romantic sometimes.
It was around one 'o' clock when we went to bed, but sleep wasn't on our minds. I just hope we didn't wake the kids up.
