Chapter 3: The Wedding

The next week at the Burrow was farely boring. Harry and the boys played quidditch almost every day. One night they had a spatacular fireworks display from Fred and George. On Wednesday Mrs. Weasley, Fleur, Hermione, and Ginny all went to Diagon Ally to dress shop for the wedding. They all came back looking very happy and giggly. They each told them they weren't allowed to see their dresses until the day of the wedding. They wanted to keep it a surprise. Then on Friday Mr. Weasley took the boys to shop for their outfits for the wedding. It wasn't very fun. Shopping for clothes wasn't Harry's idea of a good time. Unlike the girls they all showed them their dress robes. Things between Harry and Ginny were farely akward, but they talked and decided to remain friends. But they still didn't speak to each other much out of embarrasment.

The week of the wedding Harry, Ron, and Hermione were pretty much on their own at the Burrow. Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Weasley, Bill, and Fleur were in and out all week setting up for the wedding. Fred and George were working at their joke shop, and Ginny went to a friends house until Friday. Charlie arrived on Thursday, but was rarley seen just like the rest of them because he was helping with the wedding as well. Most of the days Hermione would watch Harry and Ron play quidditch, or she would be reading a book as Harry and Ron played chess, or exploding snap. Harry was still having thoughts about Hermione. But tryed very hard to convience himself he didn't like her. In the end he was very confused.

Thursday morning Harry and Ron decided to play one on one quidditch. Hermione came with them to watch.

"Hey Hermione. You should be up here flying with us! It's a great day!" yelled Ron.

"No thanks Ron. You know I don't care much for heights." replyed Hermione.

Harry zoomed down on his broom and landed beside Hermione. "Come on Hermione. You can sit on back with me" Harry said holding out his hand to her.

"I don't know Harry."

"I promise you I wont let anything happen to you. You do trust me right?" said Harry giving her one of his gorgeous smiles.

"Of course I do Harry." Hermione grabbed his hand and climbed on the back of the broom. Meanwhile Ron was hovering a few feet away glaring at the two.

Harry kicked off the ground and sped into the sky. Hermione was holding onto his waist so tight he almost couldn't breathe.

"This is actually kind of fun Harry!"

"Well I'm glad your having fun Hermione" said Harry smiling.

Finally the big day arrived on Saturday.

"Good mornig Harry, Ron." said Hermione.

"Girls, hurry up with your breakfast. We'll be leaving soon to go get ready." said Mrs. Weasley.

Harry didn't see Hermione for the rest of the morning. He decided that it was just a crush, and would pass in no time. But with each day it seemed to be turning into more. Harry didn't know what to do. He wanted to be with her, but he didn't want to hurt Ron, and he was afraid he would be rejected and it would ruin his and Hermione's friendship.

Harry, Ron, Mr. Weasley, Bill, Charlie, Fred, and George all ate a quick lunch, then went upstairs to get ready.

" Harry? Do you ever wonder who your gonna marry some day?" asked Ron as they were getting ready.

Immediaty Hermione popped into his head. "Uh yeah I guess." replyed Harry.

"Who do you see?"

Harry immediatley blushed. "Ummm. I don't really know yet. I used to see Ginny. But not anymore. I guess I'm over her now."

"Wow. That's great Harry. She just told me yesterday she was over you too!"

"Thats good. Um, who do you see when you think about marrige?" asked Harry as he was putting on his tie.

"Ah... Hermione." Ron said it so quietly Harry couldn't hear him.

"Sorry didn't catch that."

"I said Hermione."

Harry felt something drop to the pit of his stomach. Oh no. Ron likes Hermione too. What am I going to do?

"Harry? Hello? Earth to Harry?" said Ron. But Harry continued to stare off into space. Suddenly Harry realized. I'm in love with Hermione.

"HARRY!" yelled Ron trying to get his attention.

"What? Oh! sorry."

"Dude, what was that about?" asked Ron.

"N-nothing. Just a strange feeling in my head. Its nothing." Harry lied.

"Ok then mate. Are you almost ready? Hermione is supposed to be waiting for you down stairs" said Ron.

"Me? What about you?" asked Harry.

"I'm in the wedding remember. I have to get going before mum skins me alive for being late. I'll see ya in a little while."

"Yah c ya later." said Harry as he watched Ron walk out of the room.

What am I going to do? I'm in love with Hermione. But Ron is too. Well I don't know if he loves her. But he definitly likes her. Harry suddenly heard a soft knock on the door.

"Harry? Are you almost ready? Their gonna be starting soon." came Hermione's voice. Harry broke his glaze at the mirror and walked to the door and opened it. What he saw made his jaw drop. Hermione was wearing a beautiful light pink dress with glitter all over it. Wow. She's beautiful thought Harry.

Hermione smiled shyly and said "You look nice Harry."

"Wow Hermione. You look... you look beautiful." said Harry still mesmerized.

Hermione turned a deep shape of red. "Th-thank you Harry."

"Well shall we be going then?" asked Harry as he held out his arm for her to grab. Hermione smiled a little and gladly took it.

The wedding was taking place in the back yard so they didn't have far to go. Harry and Hermione took their seats in the second row.

"Don't be so silly you too. Your sitting in the first row with us. Your partically members of this family." said Mrs. Weasley.

"Alright Mrs. Weasley." said Harry as he and Hermione got up and moved.

The music started to play and Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, and Ron all walked from the side and took their places up front. Ron looked at Harry and Hermione and smiled. Now Ginny walked down the asile with Fleur's sister behind her. They were both wearing Bright blue dresses. Now everyone stood up and Fleur began walking do the asile.

Harry couldn't pay attention to the wedding though. He couldn't help but keep thinking that Hermione was sitting right beside him. I want to tell her. But I don't want it to ruin our friendship. I mean, what if she says no? But what if she says yes? Yah, but she might say no and we'll never be able to look at each other again? But what if she says yes and you too live happily ever after?

"H-Hermione?" whispered Harry.

"Harry shhh. Their saying their vows." whispered Hermione.

"Hermione. This is really important and if I don't say it know then I'm never going to have to nerve to say it again"

"Ok Harry." said Hermione realizing that this must be really important.

"Ok well... you see... I've been having these feelings lately."

"What kind of feelings?" asked Hermione.

"Ummm... how do you say it... I guess... well feelings" said Harry impatiently. "You know, having feelings for someone as like more than a friend?"

"Oh yah. So you want my help getting Ginny back?" asked Hermione.

"No no. Its not Ginny."

"Then who is it?"

"It's... you." said Harry calmly. Hermione's jaw dropped.
