* The Wedding *

"Merlin! That was a long day!" Ron said as him and his wife got in their room of their cottage. They were back home from their eldest daughter's wedding.
"It was a good one, wasn't it?" Hermione added. Ron nodded.
"Still can't believe she's married already. Yesterday she was a tiny pink bundle of bushy red hair." he said.
"Now she's a married woman with two children and a bushy red hair." she said. He sighed.
"I think it was a lovely wedding." she said later as she got her dress off.
"Yeah. The food was exquisite! Mom really exceeded herself this time." he said as she rolled her eyes.
"She looked gorgeous in that white dress." she said and he nodded.
"Like a princess. Where did she get it from? I thought she was getting an emerald dress robe." he said.
"She was going to, but Rose suggested that she would look perfect in that dress they saw in the last scene of Beauty and the Beast, you know, the white dress with the red roses in it." she said.
"Right. She looked gorgeous indeed. Reminded me of you in your wedding gown." he said, smiling. She smiled back and blushed.
"Adam looked so nervous, but so happy!" she said.
"And Amelia was really cute as the flower girl, skipping as she threw the petals. A real angel in her yellow dress." he said.
"She looks so much like Belle when she was a kid, except for the hair, of course." she said. Ron nodded. "I still can't believe what Rosie, Hugh and the other kids did in the reception." she added.
"That was a bloody amazing performance of Be Our Guest. Who would have thought James could dance like that?!" he said. She smiled.
"It certainly was entertaining, and Belle was moved. She really couldn't believe her siblings and cousins did that for her." she said.
"And it took them, what? 3 weeks to learn the whole song and dance routine?" he asked
"5. Rosie told me she had the idea in her head the minute Belle and Adam announced the date." she said.
"It was truly amazing! With Albus and Scorpius doing some pirouettes, and the girls twirling around. Quite spectacular, if you ask me." he said. "I wasn't expecting to cry that much with our daughter and her husband - wow! that sounds odd! - took the floor the first time. Why did they have to choose that song of all?" he whined.
"It's one of Belle's favourites since she was a little girl. It was kind of expected that they would choose Beauty and The Beast as their first dance. And it was truly beautiful how they recreated the dance from the movie, wasn't it?" she said.
"True. What I wasn't expecting also was for her to choose Something There as father-and-daughter dance. I wasn't even expecting her to have that dance at all." he said.
"It was so sweet when she asked you to dance to that song with her. She gave a really moving speech, saying how you were one of her first loves of her life and how much it meant to her that you were her dad. And after all, it's logical that she chose that song. I mean, we did sing it to her quite a lot when she was a baby." she said as they got in bed.
"It really was a great speech. And that song does mean something to all of us. Speaking of speeches, Teddy's best man speech was quite hilarious. Talking about the times he knew they liked each other but didn't realize about it and how he tricked them to admit it, and that time she fell off the broom because he called Adam her boyfriend when they weren't dating." he said.
"Poor Belle! She looked mortified! But it was a nice speech. Rosie's speech was really sweet as well. She really admires her big sister, and Belle has always been like a mentor to her." she said.
"I'm glad our girls get along so well! Makes me proud of them. I mean, it's something Amelia and Lizzie can look up to as they grow up." he said. Hermione nodded.
"Indeed. They're a great example of a great sister-sister relationship." she said, then sighed. "Speaking of which, we have the girls next week. Adam's parents have them tonight until Friday." she added. He nodded, then laughed. She looked at him, between amused and confused.
"Merlin! Harry was so pissed tonight! It was so funny when he grabbed the mic and started to sing A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love. I wish I had one of those muggle video recorders to capture that moment and watch it over and over again... and show it to everyone we know." he said grining. She punched his shoulder. "Ouch! You have to admit, it was hilarious!" he added.
"It truly was funny to see The Boy Who Lived singing off tune in front of everyone. And don't worry about the video. Hugo got everything with his cellphone. He's probably making copies for everyone as we speak." she said.
"Good thing he loves muggle devices." he said. She nodded.
"I can't remember when was the last time I danced as much as I did tonight. The band was splendid!" she said.
"Good thing her mother is the Minister and could get her The Weird Sisters to sing at her wedding." he said kissing her cheek.
"Well, Myron Wagtail owed me a favour for the time and I helped him in that hearing about those suspicious musical instruments." she said.
"Our baby's married, Hermione." he said after some minutes of silence. She sighed.
"I know. It's weird, isn't it?" she asked. He nodded. "But you know what? I'm happy for her. She found someone who understands her and loves her unconditionally and that always has her back, someone who makes her so happy. She's an incredible girl. She truly deserves it." she said.
"She does. We raised her well. And that Adam isn't that bad, after all." he said as he wrapped his arms around his wife. Part of him was sad because his little girl was all grown up, but the other part was extremely proud of the amazing woman him and Hermione had raised and the lifetime of happiness she was going to have.
