They were preparing for the ceremony in their rooms. It had been a few weeks since the previous events. By then they had already decided for the ceremony the way they wanted it and how it was going to happen. They had told Hermione's parents about the ceremony. At first they were confused at the thought of their daughter getting married so soon then they were excited for them. After Hermione and Harry had told them though that they weren't allowed to come to it though they were furious. Their exact words were
"How dare you not allow me to go to my own daughter's wedding?"
However once they explained their situation they were a little reluctant but agreed to the private ceremony towards them. Hermione and Harry had spent the last week planning the ceremony. It would be the two of them and that's it besides the wizarding preacher they had managed to find. Hermione had planned to create her own dress through magic. Of course it not being a great grand wedding it didn't have a long train attached to it or a veil but that didn't mean that it wasn't pretty. She had made it a layered pure white sundress that had lots of ribbons and strings hanging down all over it. It was beautiful if she said so herself.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
She was in her room doing her hairstyle for the wedding event though her mother couldn't be there for the actual wedding she was still helping her get ready.
"I'd never thought I'd see the day when my daughter got married!"
"I know mum I know."
She continued to curl her hair and crimp it and used her wand to put white ivy and animated butterflies into her hair. She then moved across the room and stepped into her dress. She pulled it over her and asked her mom to hook up the back straps.
"Hey good luck today."
"Thanks I'll need it."
"What do you mean?"
"Ever since I woke up this morning I've had this sinking feeling that something besides the vows are going to go wrong."
"Well I wish you the best of luck."
"Thanks."
"Could you pass me the wand over there?"
Her mother passed her the wand and she placed it within the concealed pouch that she had within the bouquet of flowers that she held in her hand.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Harry was in his room already dressed. He was already dressed and ready to go and decided that it was about time for the wedding to take place. He was about to apparate towards Hermione's room when her father came charging in.
"Hello Harry."
"We decided that since we can't attend the wedding that we are going to give you guys some money that you can spend on whatever you choose. Now I understand that you have money of your very own but consider this us saying welcome to the family.
"Thank you. I am very pleased that you've accepted this but I confess that I have this feeling something is going to go very wrong today."
"Just make sure you come back alive."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"I understand it from unknown sources that Potter is getting married to someone."
"It's probably that Granger fool."
"Not likely she likes the Weasley kid."
"Still I want you there and I want them here…dead or alive.."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
They apparated separately over to the church. Hermione was sensible in just about everything except superstitions. Not the silly ones such as step on a crack or you'll break your back. The ones that pertained to moments like this such as it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding. Either way though they both had this feeling that there was something out there trying to ruin the most spiritual day of their lives.
I
wonder how I ever make it through a day
How did I settle for the
world in shades of gray
When you go in circles all the scenery
looks the same
And you don't know why
And I looked into your
eyes
Where the road stretched out in front of me
And I realized
Hermione started to walk down the aisle to the song that was playing. It was a song that she really connected with and described exactly how she felt. She wasn't nervous in the least bit.
I'd
never live
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your
touch
And I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But
then again,
I wasn't really livin'
Harry was on the opposite end of the chapel next to the wizarding preist. He saw Hermione coming down the hall in her dress. He knew she could work charms but to him she looked absolutely amazing. She worked the dress even better though. To him she looked like an angel.
I'd
never lived...
Before your love
I wanted more than just an
ordinary life
All of my dreams, seemed like castles in the sky
I
stand before you and my heart is in your hands
And I dont know
how
I'd survive without your kiss
Cuz you've given me
A
reason to exist
She walked down the aisle comfortably and smiled back at Harry when he smiled at her. She met him at the head of the altar and met her eyes with his eyes as they joined hands. She nodded that the priest could go ahead with the ceremony.
"Today we are here to join these two people in holy matrimony. We being of magical folk and religion shall also do a binding of their souls to one another. Do we have any objections?"
"Um…we're the only one's here." Hermione stated urging him with her tone to go ahead with the ceremony. Among the feelings in her stomach that was butterflies of complete and utter joy were the ones of fear sensing that in this truly spiritual place that something was going to happen soon.
"Okay. So do we have any vows that you would like to say."
"Yes." Harry started. "Hermione you are the one person who has always been a constant in my life. You're always there for me and you always have faith in me that sometimes I don't even have in myself. I've known you ever since we were eleven and ever since then my love for you and devotion has grown and still is. I love you so much and promise to give back every bit of love that you give me."
I'd
never lived
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your
touch
I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then
again,
I wasn't really livin'
I'd never lived... before
your love
I'd never lived... Before your love
Hermione now had tears in her eyes and was crying silently to herself.
"Harry I met you onboard the train to Hogwarts and even though that might have been the most exciting day of my life but this is the most breathtaking. You've always treated me like the person no one else does and I feel there's a side of me that no one else can bring out but you. It makes me feel more than the person behind the books or the person who has smarts above everyone else. So I love you so much and am honored that you would want someone like me to be your wife."
And
I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you've
breathed your love into me just in time
I'd never lived
Before
your love
I'd never felt
Before your touch
I'd never needed
anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again
I wasn't really
livin'
"Okay now that the vows are done I would like you to say the binding spell. Repeat after me: l'anima obbligatoria al mio vero amore.
They repeated the words that he had indicated and their joined hands glowed in a purple light and then light weaved in and out of their joined hands. The light broke off and Harry and Hermione smiled at each other. He leaned down to give her a soft kiss where she held his head there and intensified it dragging her tongue to the edge of where their lips joined.
"I'm sorry I missed the wedding!" a cold voice spoke up.
Hermione and Harry broke out of their kiss and looked up into the double doors of the church.
"Oh my gosh…."
A/N: That was the end of the chapter in this. Who do you think it is in the doorway. Anyway the song I have in here is not an original (though I could have put one in here.) It's Before your Love by Kelly Clarkson. I would have used my all time favorite rock music but they sadly don't have songs good enough for a wedding. LOL. Don't forget to review and tell me what changes you think I should make.
