Ok, Heres the second chapter!

"I do."

Then he bent down to kiss Vicky.

I kept my smile. It took all my strength, but I managed it. After all, did I have any choice? I looked at the audience, to distract myself. It was not a good idea. With all the people my father and Uncle Bill knew, the magically expanded interior of the marquee was full.

There was our humongous family in the front rows- uncles and aunts, cousins, Grandparents, parents and brothers, and honorary. Mum, Aunt Fleur, Teddy's Gran Andromeda (Whom we call Gran Ann), and Grandma Molly were all sobbing into handkerchiefs. Aunt Hermione, Aunt Audrey and Aunt Angie were also looking slightly teary.

All my uncles and my dad were looking on, smiling slightly, probably remembering their own weddings, except Uncle Charlie, of course. He, for some reason, had never gotten married. James had some um... theories on that, but I knew the real reason. His fiancé had died the day before he was planning to tell his family. He had been devastated, and decided never to mention it. Umm... that was my theory.

I moved my eyes down to the next row, and there were my cousins and brothers. Al was sitting in-between Rose and Scorpius. Surprisingly, neither was glaring daggers at each other. They both seemed to be slightly embarrassed. I would have to ask Al about this later. Both of them were the smartest in their year, but couldn't see that they were perfect for each other.

I moved further down- there were Molly and Lucy. Molly was working in the ministry; she had Grandpa's passion for all things muggle, and was working in his old department, much to Grandpa's delight. Her father was not quite happy with this, but hadn't protested. Lucy was working for Gringotts. She had come all the way from India for the wedding, nicely tanned. Her father had been shocked by her choice, and had tried to convince her to stay, but she had been adamant. She was a lot like Uncle Bill, and, when he had once taken all his nieces and nephews to Egypt to show them where he once worked, Lucy had decided then and there that she would work for Gringotts when she left school. Apparently, neither of the girls were like their father.

Roxanne, who was sitting next to them, was in a-healer-in-training. She had been like Fred, a huge prankster, and everyone had expected her to go into the family business at the WWW. They had been shocked when she had announced that she was going to become a healer.

Next to Roxanne, were Fred, James, and Louis, this generation's pranksters. They were whispering together suspiciously, and when James caught my eye, he winked and smirked. Hugo was also there. He had refused to wear the dress robes put out for him by his mother, and was currently wearing bright orange CC robes, attracting quite a few looks.

In the third row were all our family friends. There was Uncle Neville, and Auntie Hannah, our honorary uncle and aunt, and their children, Alice (James' girlfriend, who wasn't sitting with him because her parents had made her sit next to them), and Frank, who was going to start Hogwarts in a bit. Sitting next to them was my Godmother, Luna Lovegood-Scamander, who was sitting there with a dreamy look on her face. Sitting next to her was her husband, Rolf, a scary looking man, who was just as crazily lovable as Luna, and her twin sons- Lorcan, the slightly stranger one, and Lysander, Lucy's fiancé. Nearby was Kingsley Shacklebolt, the minister- we are well connected, aren't we?

Then were the hundreds of others- my mom's old school friends, dad's old school friends -the Jordan's, the Thomas', the Finnigan's, and all the rest. Then there were some Hogwarts professors, some more Ministry people, Aunt Fleur's family, her friends, Uncle Bill's friends...

The wedding was in space near the Burrow, of course. It was a Weasley tradition; all the weddings were in the grounds of the house they were living in. So this was where Grandma and Grandpa had gotten married, where Uncle Bill and Aunt Fleur had gotten married, where, after the war, all the others also got married- Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione, Uncle George and Aunt Angelina, Uncle Percy and Aunt Audrey, and my parents. And now Teddy was getting married. Here. Now this place would always hold bad memories for me. Drat.

The ceremony was over, and Victoire and Teddy were immediately surrounded by a swarm of people congratulating them. My chance to escape. I saw Dominique looking at me. She nodded at the door. I nodded back once, mouthed my thanks, and then walked out as fast as I could without people noticing. I knew my way around the grounds and the orchard better than anyone else did, but I didn't want to be found right now. No one would be in the house, so I headed there. I went straight up to the attic, my refuge. No one else came up there. Even once the ghoul had died, it was still an unpleasant place for most.

I sat on the floor. I just sat there. It was as if I was numb. I couldn't think straight, I couldn't feel anything... except my aching heart. I hadn't been there very long, when I heard footsteps. I hurriedly went behind a box. Call me coward, but I didn't want anyone to find me now. I needed some time. The door opened, and someone poked their head in. It was Dominique.

"Dom? What are you doing here?"

"Told you she was here," said Dom, completely ignoring me and coming inside. And following her were... Hugo, Rose, Sarah (my best friend) and Lucas (my other best friend).

"Hey!" Grinned Hugo, as happy as ever.

"Hello." I said back, not quite so cheerfully. "And what are you doing here?"

"Dom told us you were upset and she wanted us to come, cuz we're your best friends," answered Rose, looking a little smug.

I glared at Dominique, and she just shrugged, not even denying it.

"What's wrong, Lils?" asked Sarah, softly.

"Nothing. Is. Wrong," I said through gritted teeth.

They glanced at Dominique a little doubtfully. Ha. I was such a good actor. Maybe that was what I should do once I left Hogwarts. It would definitely give dad a heart attack. I smirked to myself.

"Lils, something is wrong." Lucas. Damn. He could always see through my acting.

"I can always see through your acting, you know. It's too bad I didn't arrive yesterday, I would have known sooner."

Everyone was looking at me questioningly. I had a sudden idea.

"Dom, if you tell them about you, I'll tell them about me." That was low. I shouldn't have said that. But Dom could always talk herself out of a situation.

"Lil, they are your friends, not mine. And this is about you, not me. Actually I'm surprised you haven't told them already; you are more of a people person than me..." See?

Everyone was looking at me again.

"Go on Lils, it can't be that bad -nothing we can't help you with."Rose said confidently.

"Wanna bet?" I said scathingly, and then sighed and gave up. "I'll tell you day after, on the train." I mumbled dejectedly. "Now let's go back to the wedding before they notice were gone and Gran Ann and Granma Molly skin us alive."

Soooooooo...REVIEW! The next chapter should be up in less than a week!
