Hey! Wow! I'm glad people are actually interested in reading this! Thanks everyone! I have a couple questions though.
Would Hermione get in trouble for telling Matt the truth about her? That she is a witch? I'm not sure if that'll happen in the story, but I do feel bad for leaving Matt in the dark. Anyway, just curious.
I also want to recommend Summer In The Muggle World by SisterBear58 to all of you. It's her first fanfic and I have a feeling it's going to be a fantastic story so please check it out! The summary is: Hermione asks Ron to stay with her for the summer at her house. Will there be romance in the air, or will fights and disaster strike?
It's pretty funny so far too! So please check it out! It's in my favorite stories section if you want to link to it from there. Thanks! Here it goes!
Matt didn't say anything for a moment. He was trying to make the sudden announcement register. "Y-you're getting married?" He asked, unsure if he had correctly heard Hermione.
"Mmmhmm!" said Hermione nodding happily.
Once again Matt found himself unable to speak. "That-that's great, Hermione!" he said, putting on a smile. "Wow!" he was still is disbelief. Wasn't it a bit fast? "Um—when did he ask you?"
"Last night! He took me out to dinner and then he asked me!"
Wow, that's original, thought Matt. He had always had a vision in his head about the day he would propose to the girl he loved. That girl had always been a mystery to him, but year ago he started picturing a certain girl. That girl was Hermione.
Ok, so maybe that was a little freaky, and a bit odd. Maybe it made him seem obsessed and a bit of a stalker (which he is neither), but come on you can't control your thoughts. In his vision it was the middle of fall, and he and the girl would be talking a walk in the moon light in neat place, sort of like the historic downtown area. The place would have to have a fountain; there was no way around it. He would time it perfectly and when the fountains shot off to create their wonderful designs, then he would take her hand, kneel, and ask for her hand in marriage.
Maybe it might seem corny to some, and yes, he had thought of the possibility of her not being able to hear him (or the other way around) due to the noise the fountain was making, but it was always how he had envisioned it so hey.
"I wanted you to be the first to know!" continued Hermione. "I mean if it weren't for you I might have completely given up on him."
"Don't remind me." He thought.
"Well I'm really happy for you Hermione! Congratulations!"
Hours had passed and Hermione was long gone. Matt was alone in his apartment, thinking over the days events. "Married?" he thought aloud. "Married?" Each time he said it, the expression sounded more and more ludicrous.
He couldn't face it. He couldn't accept that it was real. Hermione, his best friend Hermione, was marrying Ron. It's not that Matt thought something was wrong with Ron. He actually thought Ron was pretty cool. If there was one guy Hermione was going to marry and it wasn't his self, Ron was a good choice, but that didn't defeat the fact that Matt still felt he ought to be the one marrying her.
Matt held the remote in his hand and turned the TV to the correct channel so he could watch his show. He and Hermione had watched this TV show together each week back when they were co-workers. They occasionally still get together and watch it. He had to admit it was pretty nice of Ron to let her without getting upset seeing as he, Matt, had nearly ended their relationship by kissing Hermione.
Would Ron still be that understanding once his marriage to Hermione had taken place? Probably. But Matt knew, things would change.
Ok, so as far as the next chapter goes... not sure what it is about. I have most of the story in my mind, but not what happens next. Maybe it'll skip ahead to the next thing I have planned. Or it could be when Matt receives the wedding invitation. Nah, I don't want to put up another depressing chapter for you. I think I'll put up a fun Matt and Hermione chapter next, and then the invitation even though that might be out of order. I don't know much about weddings. Sound ok? Let me know! Thanks for reading!
