Effects of Firewhiskey: Chapter 6

The Greatest and Final Effect: The Wedding

Finally, December 31 came – the date when they'll be finally together forever. The press were looming over Malfoy Manor like there's no tomorrow. They wanted to find out what the gowns will be like. The seamstresses were still kept in the manor so that they won't divulge the information to anyone.

The house elves were cooking like crazy for the reception. Usually, the Weasleys cook the food for the past months. This time, it had to be extra special and super many.

The people who once resided in Malfoy Manor decided to pack their things the day before. They have to leave the three couples alone. Mr. and Mrs. Granger said that they'll take care of Agatha and Michael Angelo for them on their honeymoon. Mrs. Weasley will take care of the rest of the children.

They had everything ready – the cake, the priest, the invitations, and the whole enchilada. The three men were nervous. They were discussing their fears while they were dressing.

"What if," Draco said, "What if Pansy got out and attack? She doesn't look strong, but she is one mean Death Eater."

Harry included, "What if Voldie came and attacked? That would be worse."

Ron didn't make a comment but he nodded. "Yeah, that would be bad."

The women however; were very excited. They had the gowns ready in their rooms. And now, they were having a little spa treatment, relaxing on the table while three house elves massage their backs.

"This relieves stress a lot." Ginny sighed. "Today is the day. I suppose there are already a lot of people on the church."

Luna nodded. "Yeah, I think so since we didn't indicate any specific time."

"Not to worry." Hermione said. "If they heard the press leave this place, they'll get there, through apparition and Floo network. My parents will be there through Floo. I thought them how to use it. They'll just let my relatives know when they leave."

"Hmmm." Ginny said. She dismissed the house elf and stood up. "I think I'll go to the tub now, to get ready."

Luna dismissed her house elf. Hermione did the same. "We're going with you." They said.

They took a 30-minute bath together. Then, they dressed up with the help of the seamstresses.

"All three of you looked wonderful." One of the seamstresses remarked. "I'm so honored to make one of the dresses."

"We should be the ones to thank you since you made the gowns." Ginny answered. Ginny was the first one to get done in dressing. Her gown was very beautiful and made of finest white silk in the wizarding world. It had a low neckline and sleeveless. She had a long pair of gloves with her. The skirt was trimmed wish sequins and beads. She raised her hair into a bun and placed her veil over her head. She placed a small silver crown on the bun in her hair, to hold the veil. "Perfect."

"Ms. Weasley, you look exquisite!" The other seamstress said. "Erlinda's dress really suits you."

Erlinda answered, "The dress you made for Ms. Granger is so pretty as well, Melinda."

Hermione nodded. "I love it so much, Melinda." It's also the finest white silk, same material used on Ginny's dress. This time, there weren't sleeveless. But it was off shoulders. The bodice was trimmed of green diamonds – courtesy of Draco. The skirt was layered and there were green diamonds on the trim of each layer.

"Draco wanted my dress to have something green so he turned the white diamonds into green." Hermione explained. She didn't tie her hair in a bun like Ginny, but she just let it be. She used magic to make it look neat all the time and she used muggle clips with ribbons to adorn her hair and hold the veil.

Luna nodded. "That's Draco. Even until he gets married, he wants a little trace of Slytherin on it." She was last to finish dressing.

"Luna, your dress looks like something like an Egyptian queen would wear." Hermione remarked. "I like it."

Indeed, Luna's dress was Egyptian themed although her accessories were silver. The collar of her dress was white with silver trims. Her arm had silver bracelets. Her headdress was similar to an Egyptian crown but without the snake head. There were some silver thread connected to it and in the end, there's a bead. She wore her hair normally and wore a little make-up.

By the time the ladies were dressing, the men were already in the church. Let's just say that they're excited. But one thing's for sure – the press was there first.

Some of the reporters tried to talk to the bridegrooms but with the help of Hagrid, everything became orderly. Since the brides weren't there yet, they let some reporters ask one question.

"Are you happy with the women you're marrying?"

Draco answered, "Of course we are. We wouldn't be here if we aren't."

Hagrid said, "Next."

"When are the brides going to get here?"

Ron answered, "They'll be here soon."

"Next."

"Where is the reception?"

Harry answered, "Malfoy Manor."

"Next."

"Are the children going to be here? Who's bringing them?"

Ron answered, "The grandparents are going to bring their grandchildren to witness this day."

Then, the limousine came and the reporters crowded around it, trying to take a picture of the brides.

The bridegrooms entered the church. There were a lot of people there – the people they invited and the press. They didn't bother about the seating arrangement. The best men were already sitting on the front bench of the altar, waiting for the bridegrooms.

The bridesmaids and the parents were behind the altar door, waiting for the brides. Lavender saw them, "Go ahead. We'll take your soon-to-be wives in just a few minutes."

Hagrid, Remus, and Sirius controlled the crowd – three-quarters of the crowd were on lookers and the quarter of them was reporters.

"Don't crowd over the brides." Hagrid said. "Let them throught."

It was like they were celebrities. There were people snapping pictures and squealing fans.

"Aww. They're so cute." Hermione heard someone said.

"Very pretty." Luna heard.

They tried to hasten their way to the door. Remus, Sirius, and Hagrid blocked the entrance for a while since they were preparing for the wedding march. After a few moments, the march started. The flower girl, Hellena walked with Romulus, the ring bearer. Hellena was wearing pink while Romulus wore a tux.

The three bridesmaids came. They walked in one straight line. Fleur was on the left side. Lavender was on the right. Cho was in the middle. They were wearing the same color – pink. They talked about it when they found out that they were the bridesmaids.

The first bride to march was Ginny with her mom on her left and her dad on the right. The second bride was Luna with her parents on each side. The third and last bride was Hermione with her parents as well.

The ceremony was fine until the ring bearer tripped when the priest called for the rings. After that, Agatha started crying. It was like a chain reaction. After Agatha cried, the other five cried as well. They tried to put a silencing charm on their carriages but it can't be helped since a lot of muggles, namely Hermione's relatives, were present. Gladly, they calmed down after a few minutes.

When the ceremony ended, the kiss was magical of them all. All of the three couples kissed at the same time. It was priceless. Flashes from cameras were everywhere but the newlyweds didn't mind at all.

Colin asked them to stay for a moment. He took a picture of each newlywed. After he took Draco and Hermione's picture, he asked, "Can I have the picture of the Golden Trio for the last time?" The three of them nodded. Hermione stood in the middle while Harry was standing on her left and Ron on her right. Colin looked at them for a moment. 'A friendship that lasts forever, they're living proof. Even until they chose different paths in life, they're still friends and I know that it will stay that way forever.' He took the picture and said, "Thank you very much."

All of them apparated back to Malfoy Manor and the reception started. There were some speeches from their parents and friends. They couldn't be happier for the newlyweds. The couples danced a slow dance.

"It's tradition." Hermione said.

After the dancing, the food came and it was magnificent. "The house elves outdid themselves this time." Draco whispered to Hermione.

Nothing wrong happened that day. The guests left by eight. Their families decided to leave the six of them alone.

When everything was clean, they decided to have an after party in Harry's apartment. They were sitting on the sofas, just plainly talking.

"Glad that was over." Draco sighed. "I never thought it would be this hard, getting married and such."

"Those are just the effects of the Firewhiskey we drunk months ago." Hermione said. She sat on his lap.

Ginny replied, "Yeah, life-changing effects took place. We girls became mothers. And then, we got married."

Harry slipped his arm around Ginny's waist. "It's all for the best."

Luna sat on the couch. "Have you seen Ronamon?"

"You really liked to call him that?" Draco remarked. "I thought you were really drunk that's why you called him like that."

"It started that way." Luna answered. "He liked it so that's my pet name for him."

"Oh, yeah. Where could my brother be?" Ginny asked.

Then, Ron came in the room with bottles of Firewhiskey. "Let's celebrate, guys!"

"OH NO! NOT AGAIN!" they said.

Auhtor's Notes: Yehay! That's the end but there'll be an epilogue.

Oh, yeah. Sorry I wasn't really descriptive of their wedding gowns. If you wanted to see the illustrations of the gowns, please go to: The illustrations are there.
