A/N: So goblet of Fire came out today, and of course I got it, I do everything the first day when it comes to Harry Potter. So anyways I was going to watch it but I am not home right now and my portable DVD player isn't charged I can't watch it which makes me sad. Anyways on with the story, I will try and make this chapter as long as I possibly can.
Hermoine arrived at her house in time to meet Draco and the front door. He looked exquisite his hair was gelled back but there were still one or two pieces hanging over his eyes. He wore a black suit with a grey shirt underneath that matched his eyes perfectly. Hermoine was wearing a simple light pink spaghetti strapped dress. They looked like the perfect couple. If only they were one.
Hermoine walked into the house she's known as home for her entire life and right away saw the transformation, everything was decorated to look like a wedding. There were lilacs and violets lining the halls and the walls seemed to have been freshly painted. Her parents had certainly gone all out for their daughter to have the perfect wedding to the man their youngest daughter was in love with.
"I don't think I can do this." She said to Draco.
"But you have to, it's your wedding that should be going on now not your sisters."
"I know, but my parents haven't done this much decorating since I had my sweet sixteen and the entire neighborhood was invited."
"Well don't worry once you explain to your parents, they will probably forgive and since you're planning on marrying Snape anyway I'm sure they'll see it as all is not lost."
"But you haven't met my parents, they have wanted my sister to get married since the day she turned 18, I don't think ruining their chance to get rid of her will make them any happier."
"But YOU'RE supposed to marry him not her, no matter what anyone tells you, this is the right thing. Letting Jenny marry him would probably kill you, and since you have been my only friend for a year or two now, I can't let you die on me."
"But Jenny will hate me forever."
"If she can't face the fact that her fiancé loves you not her, let her hate you."
"You know you're right, I can't believe I had doubts, this was meant to be."
They walked through the house to the backyard where the wedding was set to take place. As they walked to their seats Hermoine imagined herself walking down that same aisle just as the bride not a guest. Although she already had a wedding that most people would love, it didn't feel right then, but here in the place she called home, in front of all the people she grew up with, it felt right. Then there he was. Snape was standing at the end of the aisle and all Hermoine wanted to do was run up there and kiss him the way she would do on her own wedding day. He saw her because he continued to stare in her direction until he heard the Bride's song and had to turn to watch Jenny walk down the aisle towards him.
I can't believe this is happening, I mean she knows I have to be married in order to stay in this country, so why is she here trying to ruin my chances. I may not be in love with her sister the way I am with her, but she even said there was no chance for us to be together. So why is she sitting there right in front of me. Does she want me to go back to Romania where I am from and be miserable, I mean I know she'd never want to marry me again, so why even bother staying here. She's the only reason I stayed so long to begin with.
Then why don't you go back home because it's obviously her arriving with Draco means she's with him.
But I need to stay, if not to try and win her back, so what If I marry her sister, there's always a thing called divorce it's not like I'm catholic or anything like that.
Who says she'd want you back.
I do because without her in my life I'd be worthless. You know how people become vegetables from having strokes or brain aneurisms well why can't I become one from not having love in my life? I need to know I can see her at least once a year no matter how awkward it is.
Why are you trying to convince me I am just your inner voice after all, you do what you want.
You know what I think I am going to. Shit the music just started playing I've got to do something fast.
Jenny walked down the aisle in an a-line dress that fit perfectly, but Hermoine could care less. Sure she loved her sister as much as anyone could possibly love a sibling but this wasn't right. Why did Jenny always get it her way, thought Hermoine.
The minister was beginning the vows but like all the other weddings he asked if anybody objected the union. Just as he said these words she flashbacked through her entire 7th year at Hogwarts. Her defending him when he hadn't returned yet, when they ran into each other, the karaoke contest, the mix up with the polyjuice potion, McGonagall finding out about the relationship between them, their wedding, then when they broke up, her relationship with Draco how he'd always been there even when he was making fun of her. She remembered all the times she'd tried to convince herself that she was meant to be with Draco. And maybe they were meant to be, on a best friends level that is, but then she realized time was running out. So she stood up and yelled at a relatively high pitch "I object." The whole world seemed to stop spinning. She saw her sister send her death stares, her parents looked like they just woke up in the middle of a war, but all she cared about was the look she received from Snape. And to her relief he looked relieved. Then in the next moment she was down.
Apparently she had collapsed just as soon as she said I object, and all the looks she received she had no idea whether they were real or not. All she knew was that it was law that if someone said I object the wedding was to be off, and that's all she cared about at the point in time. So she opened her eyes and there were her parents, Draco and most importantly Severus.
"What happened?" she asked dazed.
"You fainted honey, but everything is going to be okay now," said her mom.
"But I ruined Jenny's wedding."
"She'll live I doubt she even loved me to so it doesn't matter anymore," said Snape.
"Listen Honey, do you have feelings for Severus or was that just our imaginations?" asked her parents.
"Of course, I have ever since 3rd year when we had our first date at hogmeade, and they never stopped growing even after we broke up."
"Then why didn't you tell me, I would have gotten back together with you in a heartbeat if I knew you wanted it," said Snape, everyone else seemed to have left.
"Because, I knew how bad you wanted your job at Hogwarts and us being married jeopardized that, then you left to set up a house for us to live in once I graduate and then the next thing I know you are dating Jenny, then I started dating Draco, it wasn't serious or anything, and next thing I knew it you were engaged and I wasn't even invited to the wedding."
"I would change the course of events that led us here if I could, but what happened brought us here and this is right where I want to be."
"And where would that be."
"Sitting here in the backyard of your home talking with the person I love more than anything else in the world."
"Then why were you going to marry my sister?"
"So I could still be close to you, but I know you don't feel that way about me anymore."
"What do you mean, I have loved you since 3rd year and my love just didn't go away."
"So what are you saying?"
"I'm saying… do you happen to know what is inside my purse right now? Because if you did you would know exactly what I am saying."
"So what is in your purse?"
"This," with that Hermoine pulled out the shrunken dress and told him what her plan was until she passed out.
"Oh 'moine you were planning on marrying me? Today? After you broke up me and your sister?"
"Yep."
"How very slytherin of you my love."
"Oh I know."
"Well about the fact that you have a wedding dress and I am in a tuxedo, I say let's remedy this situation. I mean there's a house full of people in there all in wedding attire, and there's a minister, I'd say we could get married again right now if we wanted to."
"We could, and I'm not saying I don't want to it's just Harry, Ron, and Ginny aren't here and while they no longer are my best friends I am still extremely close to them, and I couldn't possibly get married without them here, and plus I wanted headmaster McGonagall to marry us instead, I mean after all I was never very religious and I always dreamed of getting married at Hogwarts, for real this time. Is that okay?"
"It's a great idea; I just wish we could go there right now and do it already."
"Don't be in such a hurry, besides Harry is out doing something for the ministry and won't be back for a day or two."
"Then why did you have the dress if you weren't planning on getting married today?"
"Because, my sister might have questioned my motives if she did then I would have run to the bathroom put on the dress and married you then and there, but since she didn't we can wait right?"
"I you insist."
"As long as you promise me that until the time comes that we get married you won't go falling in love with anyone else, because I don't think Draco can see me cry again, he might feel used."
"Wait… you cried in front of Draco?"
"Of course, do you know how hard it was for me to lose you? I only had him to turn to since Harry and Ginny were always making out, and Ron still had a major infatuation with me, he was the only one there for me."
"Well don't worry you won't be crying over me again any time in the future."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because I won't do anything to hurt you again."
With that Hermoine and her new fiancé entered the house where the reception might have been had there been a finalized marriage occurring and they announced that they were now engaged. The only person who didn't seem shocked in the house was Draco, but then again why would he be.
A/N: so as you can see the story is almost over, I feel its time. However I will be starting a new story as soon as I finish the last 2 chapters(most likely) of this story if you would like to help I need the names of 2 still living as of the 6th year boys from hufflepuff and ravenclaw. Other note this is going to have a game show twist and Harry will not be involved seeing as how he is mine.
Please review I need them desperately!
