Chapter 12
--------------------
Crookshanks looked at Harry with an equally startled expression, "What am I doing here? I'm visiting Dumbledore, so why can't I be here?"
"I thought you were chasing after Ron!"
Crookshank's expression softened and he smiled coyly. "That was the case before I realized how stupid it was for a middle-aged man like myself to try to break a curse by making a boy who was so clearly in love kiss me."
"So you DID see them," Harry whispered hoarsely. He suddenly felt really bad for the cat, knowing he would turn back into his other form. "But that means after today you'll… are you sure you're ok with it?"
Crookshanks didn't answer. None of the adults were looking at Harry now.
"Should we get back to what we were previously discussing?" Dumbledore asked gently into the silence. "Have you decided on a name yet?"
Remus had moved to Crookshanks' side without seeming to think about it and had placed a hand on Crookshanks' shoulder. It looked like it belonged there. Crookshanks looked up at Remus and smiled: they shared a moment of silence and then the one-time cat looked back at Dumbledore.
"I think I've decided," he said. "I should use the name I was given by my parents. I want to be called Rylee."
That was when nearly everyone at the wedding turned their heads nearly simultaneously to stare at Rylee.
Fred gaped, "You were Hermione's CAT?! That's almost as bad as Peter Pettigrew being Ron's RAT!"
"Hey!" Ron said, actually sticking up for Rylee for once. "That is no where near the same thing!"
Hermione smiled and placed a hand on Ron's leg to calm him.
"Well I think that was definitely the longest wedding speech of all time," Harry said with a smile. "To think I wasn't planning on making one!"
"It wasn't much of a speech, you know," Ron told him. "We told a collective story. Consider it a wedding storytelling. Sorta like that muggle book, The Origin of Species, only it's The Origin of Ron and Hermione's Relationship."
Hermione huffed, "No matter how much I love you, I don't think we're exactly as amazing a concept as evolution."
"Too true, Hermione. You and Ron's children would probably devolve from your intelligence towards his!" George spoke up.
Ron grew red in the face. "Hey! I resent that comment!"
"Resent it all you want, it's still true," Fred said, uninterested in Ron's outburst.
"Why don't you and Hermione open up your wedding presents dear?" Mrs. Weasley said soothingly.
"Even you aren't saying anything!" Ron raged.
"Well, it is Hermione," Ginny pointed out.
"And look at it on the bright side, your children will end up brighter than you!" Luna piped in, adding fuel to fire.
Ron sighed, exasperated, and begun tearing into the wedding presents, "You all hate me!"
"You're just saying that because you know how much we all secretly love you," Rylee told him with a wink.
Ron turned white, "Oh, God. Please, not THIS again!"
Everyone else laughed.
