A/N: I'm so happy that you guys are liking the story so far. I was a little unsure about it. But since I have so many pleas to update, I guess I'll keep going-if you really want me to. :) Oh yeah, Ron's contract will be explained.

Disclaimer: It's mine, all mine. Just kidding.

Conjured Wedding Bells

"You can open your eyes now." Fred whispered in Hermione's ear.

Hermione peeked an eye open and breathed a sigh of relief. They were finally back on the ground. She was so terrified of flying that she hadn't been on a broom since her first year. But she had to admit that this had been much better. Having Fred behind her made her feel incredibly safe, though she had no idea why.

"You all right?" he asked her.

"Yeah, just happy to be back on the ground." She smiled at him.

He smiled back and hopped of the broom. He reached out a hand to her "M'lady, I believe we have an appointment."

She tentatively took his hand. A shiver raced down her spine.

"Cold?"

"Um, just a little." She said. What else could it be?

"The temple is right on the next street" Fred told her. He pulled her along then stopped five minutes later in front of a large, white brick building that seemed to be...glowing.

"Where are we?" Hermione asked, a little breathless.

"Well, since wizards don't really have an official religion-this is kind of our equivalent of a muggle church. This is where we have funerals, baptismals, that kind of thing." he explained.

"I can't believe I never noticed it before." Hermione said. She was still looking at the building. It was so beautiful. She felt an overwhelming sense of peace wash over her.

"Ready?" Fred asked, breaking her out of her trance.

"Oh! Right, that is why we're here after all." She was suddenly very flustered. She was glad it was dark and Fred couldn't see her blushing.

He stepped up to the door and opened it up for her. "After you."

Hermione took a deep breath and walked in. She gasped. If she thought the outside of the temple was beautiful, then she didn't know what beautiful was. The inside was a breathtaking rose garden with flowers of every color. There were a thousand stars twinkling overhead, including a few shooting stars. At the end of the room was a tall man with gray hair standing in front of a stone altar. He was dressed in deep blue robes and was smiling kindly at them. A woman with dark blonde hair was sitting next to him in lilac colored robes at a piano bench.

"You like it?" Fred asked hesitantly.

Hermione looked up at him surprised. "You did this?"

He grinned sheepishly. "Well, when I made the arrangements the High Priest asked me what I'd like the inside to look like, and I thought you'd like this. If you want to change anything..."

"No!" she blurted out. "It's absolutely perfect."

He looked a bit skeptical. "Really. I always wanted to get married in a garden. I just wish I could be wearing a gown instead of jeans, and I always envisioned flowers in my hair." She confessed.

"Well, I can't do anything about the jeans, but I can do this." He reached out and picked a rose off a vine. It was white at the base, the color deepening to blood red at the tips. He gently tucked it into her hair, right above her ear. "Better?"

"Much." Hermione quickly turned away to remove her coat. She had to look away from Fred. He was trying so hard to make this okay for her, and he was being so sweet about it. She knew she would cry if she weren't careful.

"Are you ready?" the High Priest had suddenly appeared at their side.

Fred looked at her. She nodded. The three of them walked to the altar and the High Priest closed his eyes, instructing them to do the same. Hermione thought she heard Fred say something, but when she looked he was standing perfectly still and not saying anything. She closed her eyes again.

"Marriage is a sacred act, not to be entered into lightly. Do you, Frederick Walter Weasley and you, Hermione Jane Granger, solemnly swear that you are here of your own accord, to be joined together in matrimony?"

"Yes." They said in unison.

"Do you vow to stay true to one another, never forsaking the vows you make here today?"

"Yes." They repeated.

"Open your eyes."

Hermione and Fred opened their eyes at the same time and her brown orbs locked on to his blue ones. It was almost as if some force were compelling them to stay there, never breaking the contact.

"Do you have rings?" the Priest asked.

Without looking away from her, Fred pulled a box out of his pocket and handed it to him. Hermione was floored. He had actually bought wedding rings?

The Priest said a blessing and handed them each one. Fred held out his right hand to Hermione. She placed her left one in his open palm, and he slid the ring onto her finger. She looked down at it. It looked like a group of entwined vines with intricately designed leaves. It was stunning. Fred pulled his hand back and then reached out his left one. She put the matching ring on his finger and suddenly bells began to chime. Hermione looked up to see several tiny church bells ringing over their heads. Fred was trying hard not to laugh.

"Did you do that?" she asked him.

"Well, I thought that since muggles ring bells when they get married, you might like it." He told her.

Hermione shook her head. "I love it. It's very...you."

The Priest cleared his throat. "If there are no more surprises, you may seal your vows with a kiss."

Hermione stared at Fred. A kiss? How could she have forgotten that? She swallowed nervously as Fred stepped towards her. She looked up at him nervously. Wow, he was tall. Not as tall as Ron, but he still towered over her. Hermione bent her head all the way back as he stopped right in front of her. Fred leaned down and gently pressed his lips against hers. Hermione felt a spark shoot all over her body. He pulled back and looked at her as she opened her eyes. The bells began to peal again as he grinned down at her.

A/N: Well, how was that? I didn't know how to do a wizarding wedding so I just varied a traditional ceremony a little. I'm not sure if that's Fred's real name, but oh well. Hope you all liked it. Let me know what you think-I'm paranoid about this chapter. Very paranoid. Must have feedback to calm my nerves! :)
