Chapter 15: Getting Ready

Ah it was fucking nerve wracking, wedding details, Hermione was so sick of all of the wedding details. She could get through this, only 2 hours until the life changing ceremony and her hair was just not being cooperative, she'd have to call Ginny in, that girl seemed to be able to work wonders with Hermione's unruly hair, she hoped that Severus was having an easier time than herself. Ugh last straw just broke for her hair, it didn't want to go up and lay the way she wanted it she'd just have to have her best friend force it.

"Ginny!" Hermione yelled through the door of the room she was using to dress.

"Yeah 'Mione?" the girl said appearing in the doorway.

"Can you please do something with my hair it's not doing what I want it to do, you know the little up-do I was planning on, and it just refuses to lie properly." Ginny nodded and pushed her way through the door.

She told Hermione to sit and got to work, the good thing about Ginny and hair is that she didn't have to use magic to do what she wanted it to do; hell it almost seemed as if the young redhead could simply just will the hair to comply and it would. In a matter of minutes the younger girl proclaimed success and turned the bride to be to the floor length mirror at the adjacent wall. Hermione couldn't disguise her grin, her hair was perfect just the way she imagined it to be. She hugged her maid-of-honor before ushering her back out of the room so that she could finish dressing.

Hermione was back to sighing as she finished tying the laces on her ivory ballerina-style heels. There was a knock on the door followed by the commanding and loving voice of the Weasley matron. "Hermione dear it's Molly, I have something for you."

"Oh yes, of course Mrs. Weasley come right on in I was just finishing up the lacing on my shoes." The door opened as Mrs. Weasley walked in, already dressed in her maids robes.

"Hermione dear how many times must I ask you to call me Molly, you're family, no need for all of this Mrs. Weasley business anymore." Molly said closing the door before turning to the waiting bride sitting on the single chair in the empty classroom, the older woman gasped. "Oh Hermione, you look absolutely stunning, you'll knock him dead the minute he sees you walking down the aisle, nobody could trump you today if they tried, you really are the belle of the ball." She lifted Hermione into a tight motherly hug before placing her back down onto the chair. "OH! Before I forget, I brought these for you." Molly handed Hermione what looked to be a medium sized jewelry case. Hermione thanked her as she placed the chest on her lap and opened it, inside was the most beautiful tiara Hermione had ever seen along with accompanying necklace and earrings, all the pieces were inlaid with emeralds and diamonds, Hermione could tell that the pieces were real, she'd seen this set in a book once.

"Molly, I-I can't accept these, they're far too expensive and far, far too beautiful." Hermione fingered the delicate items laid before her; they were in themselves a vision to behold.

"But Hermione dear, Draco insisted that we give these to you, you are after all marrying his godfather." Molly replied.

"Draco? But I… what do you mean Draco said to give them to me?" Hermione stuttered out obviously uncomprehending.

"Oh well, you see Hermione, Draco and myself well we're distantly related and this set, well it has been handed down from the side of the family that connects us for generations to the next female in the family on her wedding day, since Draco although the elder was a male and the only other child in the family other than my own that could have access to said items. Because of his gender however he could not lay claim to it so it was to be passed on to the next direct female, in other words to Ginny. My family has never liked the piece and we've never wanted to pass it down, luckily his mother's family had the eldest females more often than mine.

We don't like the piece because it's a representation of Slytherin, who though not a bad person was not known for his acceptance or general grand behavior. Because my family has never had a preference for it Ginny, Draco and Myself collaborated as to where it should go, and he insisted it be given to you, you're like a daughter to me and you are older than Ginny and you are to be married in a matter of a few minutes, and to his godfather who by relation also has a claim on anything that may belong to his godsons family. And well Ginny and I we both agreed, you deserve it, and I will see to it that you accept these gift and wear them proudly as you walk down there today and into the life of your beloved!" Hermione was speechless this was the longest speech the woman before her had ever given and to be truthful Hermione was honored to be bestowed with such a piece of history and ancient magic that she just nodded in acceptance as Molly place the items on her and swept out of the room.

She took a deep breath and headed for the door herself it was almost time, she had sealed her destiny and now it was time to seal everything else, she took one last look around the classroom before closing the door and heading to the entrance hall. It was finally time to start the newest chapter of her life, and she was finally ready for the leap.
