Chapter Twenty: The Wedding and Surprises.
The sun brightened everything that it seemed to touch. The trees were greener, the sky bluer, even the sun seemed to be shining just for them. Their wedding. Their day. Ronald paced the Groom's room gnawing on his fingernails, what am I doing. I can't get married. I'm too young. I'm only twenty-two. Maybe if I jump out the window they'll think I died and then I can just leave… No I can't do that to my mom and Hermione. They'd be devastated. The pacing continued. Back and forth and back and forth. "Come on Ron it's time to go" Ron looked at Harry and blinked a few times. This is it, he had to do it… he couldn't' get cold feet now!
"I now pronounce you." Ron held his breath. This is it. He thought. There was no turning back now. Everything was going to be set in stone. He looked at Hermione. He hadn't been able to look away since she began to walk down the isle. Small jewels hung from her hair and ears, a soft white gown hung delicately on her body as the train of the dress was floating softly off the ground, everything about her was gorgeous. The smile displayed across her face was the best smile and most sincere smile he had ever seen. "Man and wife." Ron let out the delayed breath. Hermione looked at him, her chocolate colored eyes beamed of excitement. He could only smile back.
"You may now kiss the bride." Ron nearly jumped on Hermione's lips. He could tell she was repressing a laugh. He smiled and let release of her lips. Her lips curled to a smile, which only made him smile more.
"Goodness, Ron I thought you were never going to let her breathe when the priest said 'You may kiss the bride.'" Harry's statement dripped in sarcasm. Ron couldn't bring his eyes away from Hermione. Ron's body was a pile of Jell-o in a tux. He couldn't move. Just jiggle. The clinking of a fork on glass followed by his near by friend scooting out from under the table, Harry cleared his throat. "As the best man I am obligated, I mean obliged to make a toast to this happy couple." Ron tore his eyes with great restraint from Hermione to Harry. Harry continued. "You see, Ron and Hermione have had a little crush on each other from day one from that memorable day on the train till this memorable day in their lives. Though they may deny it, it was pretty obvious. Hermione's started to show masterfully after the Yule Ball in our fourth year, Ron… took about another 2 year, while he was sucking Lavenders face off… but they were always trying to one up each other, We all could see it, but they were just too stubborn. And now, now we're here, to give a toast to this beautiful couple, Ron. Hermione. Though Married life will be hard, you may face troubles even I could not dare to dream of, but remember, you have each other, to carry you when your legs can not walk another step, and to comfort you when your heart is broke." Raising his glass Harry smiled at Ron. "To Ron and Hermione. May you always bicker." The room laughed as Harry sat down. Giving Harry a small hug Ron smiled and wiped the one tear that had rolled down his face. Looking to his beautiful bride he smiled. Her face was covered in tears, as was Ginny's.
The DJ came over the sound system announcing it was time for the father Daughter dance. Helping Hermione out of the chair Ron smiled and kissed her on the cheek. Her father approached and too her by the hand, the lights dimmed, a spotlight shown on Hermione and her father. Ron smiled adjusting the sleeves on his tux, he scanned the room, and his stomach was begging him for some food. Oh my gosh. Fred, George I'm going to kill you. In the corner of the room Fred and George had stood up and were dancing with each other. A few people started to laugh before Mrs.Weasley stood up and dragged the twins out of the room by their ears. Do they have to ruin EVERYTHING? Apparently. Standing up Ron felt it was okay for him to interrupt their dance. He crossed the floor, her dad saw him coming. Grabbing his daughters hand he kissed it and placed it softly in Ron's hand. "You take care of her…" He said to Ron. Ron smiled and nodded. "I will."
The guests were filing out slowly. Ron and Hermione had been sitting in the room greeting and bidding ado to all that came. Harry and Ginny came back from where ever they had gone for about an hour. Ginny's face was a little distorted but it soon faded as Hermione handed her the bouquet. "It's yours now… I'm not even going to throw it." Ginny's face turned a bright red as she smelled the roses. Harry balled his fist and spoke into as if it were a microphone in a talk show hosts voice.
"Ron and Hermione You just got married what are you going to do NOW?" Ron laughed and spoke into his fist. "I'm going to cram this up your nose…" Smirk. Harry and Ginny sat down. Things were so different. And they were going to continue to grow more different with each year. Ron took Hermione's hand in his and ran his thumb against the back of her hand. With his other hand Ron traced the words 'I Love you' on the inside of her arm. Hermione smiled and giggled lightly.
"So, Harry you said that Hermione and I took forever to get together look at you and Ginny. Don't even pretend it's not there." Ron smiled at Harry. Harry rolled his eyes. "If you must know… I proposed to Ginny last night, after she got home from shopping with Hermione for last minuet things." He raised an eyebrow. Hermione shrieked and squealed in enjoyment. The two girls googled over Ginny's ring and smiled. "Congrats my friend. You have my blessing." Harry wrinkled his nose. "Maybe it WAS a bad idea." Ron punched Harry playfully in the arm and the girls continued to coo.
As the night finally calmed down Hermione was falling asleep in her chair and Harry was about to follow. Ginny was twisting a napkin in her lap anxiously. Ron smiled. "Don't worry Gin. You and Harry were meant for eachother."
"Well I'm glad you feel that way… cause…"
"What's wrong?" Hermione said waking up a bit. Harry sat bolt upright and stared at Ginny with wide eyes.
"I'm pregnant…" Smile
"WHAT?" Ron and Hermione yelled, then looked at eachother.
"HOW?" Ron blinked. Hermione elbowed him in the stomach. "How do you think dork?"
Fin.
