The Trouble With Weddings
A Harry Potter Fan Fiction Story
Chapter 28:
I wore a yellow, off the shoulder, knee length dress with yellow wedges, and a I had my hair down with my natural curls, and a yellow flower by the side of my left ear. Draco wore a green, collared, silk button up top with black khaki dress pants, and dress shoes. We came together in the living area, and he held his hand out to me.
" You ready?" I nodded and took his hand and we apparated to the church in time for rehearsal. It took a minute for me to get my surroundings straight, but I did hear Ginny yell.
" It's about time you two!" She ran up to us and grabbed my arm. " I need you, Draco Blaise wants you at the alter. Ginny Dragged me in the back of the church with her mom.
" Sorry Gin, What did I miss" She gave me a knowing smirk, that said I want every dirty detail later.
" You will be carrying your bouquet of flowers, and as soon as the music plays you will walk slowly down by the alter, opposite of Draco, and make sure to leave room for me." I nodded, man did she look nervous. I took a peak down the isle to see Blaise giving Draco instructions, on where to stand. I noticed him look back at me and wink. I quickly turned back to face Ginny.
" Are we ready Ms. Weasley?" I heard the priest yell down to us." She poked her head out and nodded.
" Yes lets give it a go!" The organist started to play Pachelbel's cannon in D major, and I sauntered my way slowly down the isle.
" Lovely" The Priest said and I tried not to blush as I looked over at Draco, who was staring straight at me. The music got louder and that was Ginny's cue to come down the isle. She slowly made her way down smiling at Blaise the whole time. I could only imagine how lovely Ginny would look in her white wedding dress. When She made it down the Priest talked for a while about the ceremony, but my mind started to drift.
I thought about how this could have been me, with Ron. I have never really gotten over Ron, at least that is what I thought until I arrived here, and had gotten close to Draco, to find out I had fallen in love with him. Now everything was turned upside down in my world. Where did we go from here? Did we stay together? What would his friends and family say? What would mine say? Would this be the future for Draco and I? I may be jumping the gun, but it was practical, where did we go from here, I mean my heritage and Draco's were different. Would Love be enough?
I came back to reality when They were talking about exchanging vows. There were writing there own vows, and would reveal them tomorrow at the ceremony. I felt extremely flushed. We had to practice leaving. Ginny and Blaise would leave together up the center isle where we came down, and after they had made it to the top o the church, Draco and I would lock arms and walk together.
" I think we need to practice coming in and leaving again. I want it to be perfect" Ginny said looking at us all. The Priest and organist didn't seem to mind, but after the 5th or 6th time, it was getting to be a bit much. Draco and I even started getting a bit goofy. The one time I ran down the isle, and acted like I was throwing my pretend bouquet at Draco, whom caught it and pretended to eat it. This sent me in a hysterical fit of laughter. Then When It came time to walk back up the isle. Draco picked me up and carried me charging threw Blaise and Ginny. Needless to say Ginny was not amused.
I turned to Draco and whispered in his ear.
" If we have to do it again I might lose my mind" he just chuckled.
" Do you think we should do it again, for good measure?" Ginny asked Blaise.
" Gin" I interrupted. " I promise I have walked in a straight line before. I can get you the name of the cop that tested me, just please don't make us do that again" I pleaded, thought I don't think she found the humor I was portraying. Finally it seemed as though Ginny agreed and we all made our way to the cottage for Dinner. Mrs. Zabini, and Mrs. Weasley had prepared a feast for us all.
When We made it back both women were in the kitchen slaving over the food they were making for us all. It smelled wonderful. The rest of us gathered in the living area, sitting around the fire place. We were laughing at the twins who were making fun of Ginny and Blaise. They were mocking them about the wedding. Fred stood up.
" OH Blaise! Everything has to be perfect" He tried mimicking his sister. " Hermione" He pointed at me. " Follow the itinerary" I laughed it did sound like her. George stood next to his other twin and pretended to be Blaise. He rubbed his chin and shook his head.
" Oh yes dear what ever you want dear" Blaise sat in the corner trying to suppress a smile. Then the two twins blew air kisses at each other and started to dance around the room together. They pointed their wands and music started to play in the background. This got everyone laughing. Then Draco stood up and held his hand out to me. I grabbed it and he lead me around the room dancing with Fred and George. Blaise and Ginny joined in, and even Ron and Lavender, soon we were all frolicking about the living area.
Draco put his hands on my hips and time seemed to drift by just in his arms. When the music had ended, Draco had dragged me outside in the cool air.
" Why are we out here, everyone is inside?" I asked and he just grabbed my hand and let me to the ledge. We watched as the sun started to set.
" We normally watch the sun rise, I thought we would try something different." I laughed.
" You know for years in school I never understood how all of these girls would be fawning themselves over you." He raised his eye brows in shock. " I mean you were arrogant, pompus, rude, prejudiced, and you didn't seem to have one human bone in your body…" I trailed off and looked at him in the eyes. " But I now I get it…"
" Jealous?" He smirked
" No… " I blushed. " I mean I am trying to say your charming."
" Well I am a Malfoy, it's in our blood to bring woman to there knees." I punched him playfully on the shoulder, and started to walk down the path.
He ran to catch up with me. " too much to handle?"
" No" I smirked. " I can handle anything"
" Is that so?" I turned around backing up against the sand. " I am Hermione Granger and I can do anything!" As I was walking I tripped and fell down into the sand. I let out a shriek and began giggling. Draco Stopped in front of me and held his hand out for me. I stared at him for a minute before smirking. I reached out to grab his hand but pulled him down on top of me in the sand as well.
" Well… " He looked at me up ant down, while he lay on top of me. " This seems to be a very compromising position" I lay underneath him with my heart racing and trying to steady my breathing. I could feel his warm breath on my neck. I could see him slowly leaning down, and I was about to close the gap between us, but playfully pushed him off me. It took him by surprise. I stood up dusting myself off.
" What was that for?" He looked up at me laying in the sand, with confusing. I just laughed.
" Keeping you guessing…" I smiled down at him, slowly making my way back to the cottage.
" Why?"
" It's fun isn't it? Not knowing what I am going to do next?" Draco couldn't take his eyes off of me as I made my way back inside.
