Chapter 3
Prologue (Part 3)

Harry was driving Hermione back to the house to get ready for the wedding. He had tried asking Hermione why she had smacked the manager, but each time he asked, she gave him an evil glare. Even Holli seemed scared of her own mum!

"Are we almost there?" Hermione asked irritably.

"Yes," Harry said.

"Good," Hermione said.

"Mione, I know you don't want to talk to me, but why in the name of Merlin did you smack the manager?"

Hermione quickly answered with the first thing that came out of mouth, "P.M.S."

"Oh," is all Harry said till they got home.

When they all got into the house, Harry put Holli in the playroom so she could play while Harry and Hermione made the final arrangements for the wedding. Hermione called the caterer, the music, and the preacher (Dumbledore), while Harry called the bride's maids, groom's men, and the ring shop to make sure Ron, the best man, could go and pick them up. So far, everything was in order.

"Should we floo to Hogwarts to start setting everything up?" asked Harry.

"Yes. Everything's stored in the Room of requirement... Wait! What's Dumbledore doing with the students?"

"Well, he's arranged it so they will have supper in the common rooms, which he's made very decorative for them, and the Professors decided to delay checking over the checking of the homework to come see our wedding," Harry said.

"Why don't you go ahead and floo to Hogwarts? I'll floo and pick up my dress, alright?"

"Alright," he kissed her cheek. "I'll go upstairs to get Holli, then take her to Hogwarts with me," he smiled. "See you in a little bit." He then went to get Holli. Shortly after, they were gone.

Hermione sighed. She sat down on the couch and almost started crying. The whole thing with...

RING! RING!

"Damn bloody phone!" Hermione said as she reached over and grabbed the phone. "Hello?"

"I know what you're doing," said a voice.

"Wh... What do you wa... Want..."

"Don't say my name! My wife might hear you!"

"Why would she care? Can't she hear me now?"

"Damn it, Granger! You wrecked it all!"

"You no good bloody ferret!"

CLICK!

"I hate phones," Hermione said before she flooed to the dress shop.

(At Hogwarts)

"Is everything almost ready, mate? We have to rehearse. After all, Dumbledore went through" Ron said.

"A bunch of stuff for Hermione and I. He made it so some muggles can be here for the day He let us use the Great Hall. He…Yeah. I owe Dumbledore a bunch for all of this stuff," Harry said.

"Oh, Harry. You owe me nothing. I would love nothing more than to watch a boy I've known for such a short time finally be happy with the woman who was the smartest witch of your year. It'd make Lily, James, and Sirius proud to watch you marry Hermione Granger in the exact same place with the exact same old man wedding you two in holy matrimony on the same day that they were back not very long ago to me, but you were even born," Dumbledore said as he walked through the doors of the Great Hall by Harry and Ron.

Harry nodded. "Old man, aye? How old is that now?"

"25 with many, many years of experience," Dumbledore said, smiled, and then left the room.

"So, mate, where's the blushing bride?" Ron asked.

"Getting her dress."

"Where's Holli?"

"With Luna, getting ready to practice."

"Where's Luna?"

"She's your wife, not mine."

"Got a point, mate."

Harry smiled. "I can't believe I'm finally getting married."

"I can. You and Hermione have been together since we were eleven-years-old. You've been together as a couple since we were 18. We're now 24. You had a kid when we were 23. Believe me, Harry, I can believe that you guys are getting married," Ron said.

Harry nodded. "I hope Hermione goes back to her normal self once this is all done. She's been acting weird since... Actually, she's been acting weird like a month before she told me she was pregnant with Holli."

"The only thing I've noticed her acting sort of odd about is people touching her, like the manager earlier. Did you ever get why she smacked the poor guy?"

Harry nodded. "P.M.S. supposedly. I don't believe it, though. You know why, too, so don't ask, Ron. I don't believe her through even if she was. She says I know everything about her, but I can't help but feel there's just that... Something, sort of, that she's hiding from me."

"I can't help you, mate. I've never felt that way with Luna. I don't think any one can since she's so open," Ron smiled.

Again, Harry nodded. He looked over to the doorway, where he heard a noise.

"DADDY!" came the scream of little Holli. She ran as fast as her little legs would carry her.

"What's wrong, baby girl?" asked Harry. He went and picked Holli up.

"Booboo," Holli held up her finger to show her father that she was bleeding.

Luna came in the door with Reese following her. "Reese and Holli got into a fight over who was throwing the rose petals and who was throwing the carnations. Both of them wanted to throw the roses," she said. "Reese smacked Holli with the basket of rose petals, then Holli kicked Reese. Holli began bleeding when Reese bit her."

"Hollian, what has daddy told you about fighting?" Harry asked.

"No, no, daddy," Holli said, looking disappointed.

"Say you're sorry to Reese," Harry demanded.

"I sorries, Reese," Holli said, looking at Reese.

"I sorries, Holli," Reese nodded her head.

Harry put down Holli, who then ran to hug Reese. When the girls were hugging, Hermione came walking through the doors, looking tired already.

"Hey Hermione," Ron said.

"Hey, Herm," Luna said.

"My lovely soon to be wife," Harry went over to her and put an arm around her.

"My mum is nuts!"

"Isn't Ginny helping you out, too?" asked Harry.

"Draco and her aren't even here, yet!"

"Where the bloody hell are they?"

Hermione shrugged.

"We're right here!" Ginny came running to the group, out of breath. Draco is still coming. I made him carry in Damien for me. Having Damien around today might just send me insane. I love my baby boy to death, but... Having an eleven month old child..."

Draco came walking in, carrying a strawberry blonde headed bundle that had a major attitude. If you told him no, he'd smack you. His smack was pretty hard for a baby.

"Thank Merlin you both are here! Ginny, my mum is driving me nuts! I only got here about ten minutes ago and she already wants to see the dress on me!" Hermione ran over and hugged Ginny, then looked at Draco. "Why don't you give Damien to Luna so she can run through with him again then ring bear procedure? She's doing that with Holli and Reese, except for the flower girls thing."

"All... Right, Hermione," Draco put down Damien. "Go to your Aunt Luna, Damien," he said.

"No!"

"Damien Arthur..."

"NO! MUMY! WANT MUMMY!'

Draco looked over at Ginny. "Babe, he wants..."

"MUMMY!" Damien screamed.

"Dam-Dam, go us," Holli waddled over to Damien and kissed him on the cheek.

Damien looked at Ginny, and then at Draco, then, holding Holli's hand, went over to Reese. "Holli and Reese."

"I think Holli is the only one who can control our boy's temper, Gin," Draco said, laughing.

"Chop chop! Let's get to work! Everyone go where they have to go! All the men should be working on the room! Women, double-check dresses and such! My father will be in here in a moment, all right? Harry..."

(8 hours later, rehearsal)

Mrs. Granger sat in the first row that had been conjured up. Harry stood at the front, with Ron next to him, with Draco next to Ron. The music started to play...

Down the aisle walked Holli and Reese, with empty baskets that they were carrying. When they reached the end, Reese put down her basket.

"No, no, Reese. Stop the music!" yelled Mrs. Granger.

Reese looked at her. "Wa?"

"When you get tot he end of the aisle, you walk over to me, alright? I take your baskets, then you guys will go and sit down over there," she pointed to the row next to them.

"All right?"

Reese nodded.

"Let's try it again! From the top!" Mrs. Granger said.

"I know where Herm gets it from, now," Ron whispered.

Draco nodded. "I agree."

Harry rolled his eyes.

"Boys! Focus! Would you be speaking if this were really the wedding?" Mrs. Granger put her hands on her hips.

(2 hours later, wedding)

Everyone filled the Great Hall. All of Hermione's friends, family, and Harry imagined a few reports had weaseled their way into one of the most important days of his life. So far, everything was perfect.

"Ron, is that..." Harry was looking at the crowd; he swore he saw someone who wasn't supposed to be there.

Mrs. Granger glared at Harry, so he went quiet.

Reese and Holli walked down the aisle. They had on blue dresses. They wore their hair up in little piggy tails. Each had the flower they were throwing their hair. Reese was throwing red roses while Holli was throwing blue carnations. They smiled as they walked. When they got up to the front, they gave Mrs. Granger the baskets, then went and sat down.

Damien then came down the aisle in a black tuxedo that looked a little baggy on him. He wore a red bow around his neck, just as the older men did. He carried matching wedding rings on a black velvet pillow. He reached the end, then went over and sat down by the girls.

Next came Luna. She wore a spaghetti strapped blue dress that reached down to her ankles. She held in her hands a bouquet of red roses. Her hair was done in curls.

Then came Ginny. Her dress was like Luna's. She had instead of roses, blue carnations. Her hair too was done in curls.

Everyone then stood up. The music for "Here Comes The Bride" started to play. The doors opening and then Mr. Granger came walking down the aisle with Hermione on his arm.

Hermione wore a long dress. The trail wasn't very long, but what there was of it sparkled just as the rest of the dress did. The white projected Hermione's face structure. It clung to her upper half while the bottom was loose. It wasn't a big puffy dress, but the bottom still went out a little. Her make up was light. She wore gloss on her lips that made them look somewhat fuller, her eyes shadow was a sparkling white, no mascara was worn, but she did have on eye linger. To everyone there, she looked simply gorgeous.

When Hermione and her father reached the front, Mr. Granger turned towards Hermione, and then looked at Harry. "I expect you to take as good of care as you have been of my baby since you were in school together," he said.

"I will, Mr. Granger," Harry said.

"You can call me dad," he said, then placed Hermione's hand on top of Harry's, then turned to go be seated.

"Thank you, dad," Harry said, and then walked up to where Dumbledore stood in black robes.

"We are gathered here today to wed Harry James Potter and Hermione Jane Granger. For centuries now, people have asked me o wed them. I have only done one other couple. That was now twenty-six years ago. Today on October 1st, 2005, I, Albus Dumbledore, am here to say, there is no couple that belongs more together than these two children that stand right in front of me. If you please, you two turn towards each other and recite your vows," Dumbledore said.

Harry and Hermione turned towards each other. Harry then cleared his throat.

"Hermione, I've known you since we were eleven-years-old. Back then; I would never have thought that someday I'd love the girl that became my best friend. You have done so much for me. No matter what was going on, you stuck have by me and promised to help me. You once told me I was a great wizard. I beg to differ, though. If I didn't have you helping me out through everything, Hermione, I would be dead right now. You have given me so much. You gave me the other person who I love with all my heart, our daughter. Hermione, I love you. I am ready to do anything I can to make you feel the very way that I feel. I love you, Hermione Granger."

"Aww..." was the response that came from everyone in the crowd.

"Daddy!" Holli cheered.

Hermione smiled at Harry, near tears. "Harry, I always knew that I loved you since we became friends. You were like my little brother I wanted to protect you. Then, we grew older. You treated me like your little sister more than I treated you, though I am older. My feelings for you changed. When we were in 5th year, I was dating Viktor. I no longer wanted to spend time with any one else but you. You, though, still saw me as a sister. I had problems trying to accept you as just my brother. Then, you told me you loved me more than a friend. When I was young that was the best thing that had ever happened to me. I always dreamed it, so my dream was true. You loved me and I loved you. I'm" Hermione shook her head. "I love you, Harry," she said through tears.

"Will the ring bear please bring up the rings?" asked Dumbledore.

Damien got up with the pillow in hand.

"Please pick up your respective opposite rings," spoke Dumbledore.

Hermione and Harry picked up their rings.

"Now, Harry, please take Hermione's left hand and place it on her ring finger."

Harry did as told.

"Please repeat after me. I, Harry Potter, take you, Hermione Granger..."

Harry smiled. "I, Harry Potter, take you, Hermione Granger..."

"To be my lawfully wedded wife..."

"To have and to hold..."

"To love and to cherish..."

"To honour and obey..."

"Through sickness and in health..."

"Till death do we part..."

"Hermione, please slip the ring on Harry's left hand on his ring finger and say..."

"I, Hermione Granger, take you, Harry Potter, to be my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish, to honour and obey, through sickness and in health, till death do we part," Hermione said without Dumbledore having to speak it again.

"That works to. With the power invested in me, I, Albus Dumbledore, would like to announce to you as of October 31st, 2005, for the first time ever, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Potter!"

"Wait!" Holli came running up. "Me?"

"Oh, and baby Potter, Hollian. Isn't today..." Dumbledore said.

"I one! I one!" Holli smiled. "Up?" she held up her arms to Harry.

Harry picked up Holli.

"To make this day official, you may"

"NO! HER-MY-OW-NY!" came a cry out in the crowd.

Hermione's eyes went wide. "Oh shit..."

"Her-my-ow-ny! Please! Zon't zarry this zool! I zove you, Her-my-ow-ny!" Krum ran out of the crowd.

"Leave me alone! You've done nothing but annoy me since before Holli was born! Why won't you leave me alone! You're married! You have a child! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Hermione broke down crying. She was engulfed by her dress.
"Her-my-ow-ny..." Krum reached down to her shoulder.

SMACK!

Part four coming up soon!
