This is a one-shot that might expand into a 2-shot.I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER!!!

"Finally" was Harry's first thought when Ron and Hermione told him they were getting married. Most of Gryffindor would say the same, bloody hell most of Hogwarts including the professors will say that!

And now, he was standing at the head of the table at the burrow next to Ron and Hermione on their wedding day. He cleared his throat to gain the attention of everyone else in the room, despite giving many speeches before, why was he so nervous? Merlin was this how Ron felt like at his and Ginny's wedding?

"Good evening everyone! For those who don't know me, though I doubt that there is anybody"

He earned chuckles and giggles for that.

He smiled and continued "I'm Harry Potter, The best man of this wedding and I'm supposed to give a speech here" He made vague hand motions towards Ron and Hermione. "I considered just humiliating them by telling embarrassing stories about how they fell in love"

more chuckles and giggles

"But I decided not too or Ginny will teach Hermione the bat-bogey hex"

full on laughter from some people in the crowd.

"Right, time for a speech... first of all. FINALLY."

Laughter

"Ron and Hermione, Hermione and Ron, however you want to call it. Has been an item of interest for everyone at Hogwarts, by the way who won the bet?"

Hermione turned around and glared at Harry "What, bet exactly?" she asked in a faux sweet tone "Nothing!" Harry replied with an innocent grin. Hermione huffed but dropped it

"Ron has always been a brother to me and Hermione a sister, yeah that's weird but ignore that. I think the first time I figured out they liked each other was 4th year during the yule ball" Ron made a face at that. "Ron was SUPER jealous and Hermione kept dropping hints for Ron to ask her out. But I guess the signs were there since second year"

"Anyways I am so happy that they managed to make it work, through all the trauma and things that had happened during the war unlike me and ginny, we took a while"

"You know, during the 'camping trip' the fact that Ron and Hermione could still be in love at a time like that, was sort of a beacon of hope for me"

'awwwwwww's from the crowd

"Yeah, yeah. Cute. Anyways, the fact that 2 people could be in love each other for what? 5 almost 6 years without wavering was... beautiful to me. I guess. And here I am, best man of their wedding. Hermione looks Gorgeous tonight, I'M SAYING THAT AS A BROTHERLY THING PARVATI!" Harry pointedly yelled at Parvati Patil, who now worked at the Daily Prophet. Parvati just grinned and shook her head while everyone else chuckled.

"Ron is looking fine, better than those Yule ball robes, mate" "Oi!" Ron said defensively, "I am looking handsome tonight according to my gorgeous bride over here!"

more 'awwwwwww's

Ron grinned and Harry rolled his eyes and continued his speech. "I will always be traumatized by that time I found them in a broom closet during our 7th year after the war, doing more things than snogging"

Roars of laughter from the crowd while Mrs. Weasley tutted but smiled. Ron and Hermione both turned bright red.

"I can imagine their kids now, little hermione with red hair and freckles and a little ron with hermione's hair, What would you name them?"

Ron had his face buried in his hands while Hermione was glaring at Harry.

"Touche, I've known the pair of them for what? a decade? And we've been through a lot together.. They were there for me when Sirius died.. they were there for me during the 'camping trip' they were there for me after the war." Harry paused.

"How about I tell you a story? It started on the 1st of September 1991. When I was a King's cross wide-eyes and innocent, without a clue about how to get on the platform, Until I saw this giant mass of red hair" He winked at the Weasleys.

The guess started giggling.

"We all know those are the Weasleys," he grinned "That was when I met my bestfriend, we bonded over food, but my other bestfriend, the bride? Met her on the train, we only became friends because she nearly died!" Hermione glared at him half-heartedly.

"Moral of the story, save people from mountain trolls is the best way to make friends" He grinned "Anyways, we've gone horribly off-track. To Ron and Hermione! Ans to the reason why it took them so long to get married!" was repeated by everyone in the room.

Harry sat down next to Ginny who smiled at him. "That was sweet"

"I wanted to tease them but I got off track"

His wife snorted then kissed his cheek.

"I won the bet by the way."

Ayyy first one shot, I may have gotten off track multiple times so the speech might not add up so sorry for that.
