The two cars arrived in the back entrance of the church. It was 10:30 in the morning. Mafalda got out of the car first, followed by Ginny. There was a man waiting for them at the entrance.
"Hello," said the man.
"Good morning," said Mafalda.
"I'll be showing you to your waiting room," said the man. "A private hallway to the front of the church."
"Great," said Ginny. The man led the girls to the front of the church into a large waiting room.
"Here you go," said the man.
"Thank you," said Ginny. She turned to Mafalda. "How will the ushers know we are here?"
"I told my mum to tell them when we get here," said Mafalda.
"I'll call her," said Hermione. "She took out her cell phone from her purse. "I have her number." Hermione dialed Mrs. Prewett's number.
"Hi Mrs. Prewett," said Hermione. "We are in the waiting room. Yeah, tell the ushers to enter the door from the left of the church's entrance. Okay. Thanks. Bye." Hermione put her phone back in her purse.
"How do you know where the door is?" asked Ginny.
"I looked around the church yesterday," said Hermione.
"Is anyone going to come down this hallway?" asked Hannah.
"No," said Mafalda. "This hallway is closed only for the bride, bridesmaids, and ushers. Not even Viktor can come back here."
"Wow!" said Hannah. "Not even the groom can come back here! How will the ushers know where the door is?"
"Ginny showed them the way yesterday," said Mafalda. There was a knock at the door.
"Obviously it's the ushers," said Ginny. "Luna, can you answer it?"
"Sure," said Luna. She opened the door. Lev Zograf entered the room. The other eight waited in the hallway.
"Hi girls," said Lev.
"Hi," said the girls.
"Lev," said Mafalda. "How's Viktor?"
"He vas shaking the vay to the church."
"Viktor was shaking?"
"Yeah," said Lev. "He said over and over he vas super nervous."
"How are you doing?"
"I'm a little nervous," said Lev.
"Everyone must be nervous. Does Viktor know where you went? I didn't tell Viktor we were doing this."
"No," said Lev.
The past thirty minutes have passed, it was now eleven o'clock.
"Are you ready?" asked Ginny.
"Ready." The girls got into place. Ginny stood next to Lev, Hannah next to Marko, Emma next to Petar, Luna next to Stefan, Audrey next to Valentin, Astoria next to Angel, Hermione next to Milan, and Fleur next to Bill.

"Yeah," said Ginny. Teddy was holding both of the rings. "Teddy you go now."
Lev slowly opened the door for Teddy, he walked down the aisle.
"Teddy made it to Viktor," said Lev. "Ready?"

"One, two, and three." Mafalda moved out of sight. Lev, opened the door. Lev and Ginny walked down the aisle, followed by Hannah and Marko, Emma and Petar, Luna and Stefan, Audrey and Valentin, Astoria and Angel, Hermione and Milan, and Bill and Fleur.

Viktor looked at Mafalda the entire time. As the two made it to the front of the church. Viktor grabbed out his hand, Mafalda took it, and Mr. Prewett went to his seat.
