Chapter One

The Wedding

"Do you, Fred Jason Weasely take Hermione Jane Granger as your lawful wedded wife, promise to love and cherish her, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, and forsaking all others keep yourself only unto her, for so long as you live until death douth you part?"

Fred smiled, staring into his soon to be wife's auburn eyes which were filled with happy tears.

"I do."

"And do you, Hermione Jane Granger take Fred Jason Weasely as your lawful wedded husband, promise to love and cherish him, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, and forsaking all others keep yourself only unto him, for so long as you live until death douth you part?"

A tear spilled from Hermione's made up eyes and onto her cheek. For a second she looked back into the crowd, her eyes locking onto Ginny's beaming face, and George's cheeky grin. She looked from Harry to Ron, and her heart swelled with love for the both of them.

Harry gave her the thumbs up sign, and Ron mouthed: "get on with it!" She smiled at them for a minute before her gaze fell on Mrs. Weasely who was crying onto her mother's shoulder silently, and she smiled again as she saw her father hand both the weeping women tissues, and then turn to her and widen his eyes significantly.

She saw her grandma in the crowd, and the tears welled up once more. Her Grandma was trying her best not to cry, and she was looking at Hermione in such a proud and loving way that her heart almost ached from all these emotions.

And last of all came Bill and Charlie. Bill was smiling up at Fred, an illegible expression on his face, and Charlie was smiling at her, the way any older brother would smile at his little sister's wedding.

And then she knew. Then she knew she was 100 ready for this, that she was ready for whatever difficult times lay ahead past those oak doors, and she turned back to look into her lovers eyes which were filled with love and admiration for her.

"I do."

The priest smiled at the crowd before him. "You may... uhm... well I suppose you get the point," and he laughed along with the crowd as Fred and Hermione broke away from their passionate embrace.

"ALL RIGHT!" Ron whooped along with Harry as Hermione and Fred descended down the aisle, arms linked, and both beaming.

Ginny was crying into Harry's suit, and Ron was hugging Alicia happily.

When they had reached the end of the carpet, they both turned around and posed for the camera, and then waved at the watching crowd, before walking through the magnificent oak doors, and disappearing with a flash of white light.

Hermione was allowed one last glimpse of the crowd, before she was sucked into the light and then appeared with a 'pop' on the middle of a deserted island, Fred at her side, both their wedding clothes gone, which had instead been replaced with muggle clothing.

"Well," A voice behind then said, "welcome to task one."
