Chapter 35:
" Oh Gin, you look beautiful" Ginny came out of the bathroom and into the room she and I were getting ready in, in the back end of the church. She had on her Wedding dress and her hair was in a tight up do, and she decided to give herself bangs. I loved it! It was a sweet refreshing new look for her. She walked over to the floor length mirror and let out a deep breath staring at herself. I noticed how nervous she didn't look and I didn't get that. Every bride that I have ever known had been completely nervous on there wedding day.
" Gin, are you ok?" Was she hiding it really well? She turned back toward me and smiled.
" Hermione, I went to see Harry this morning" I stared at her as my facial expression dropped. I waited for her to say that she was joking or maybe I was hearing things. Ginny wouldn't screw things up, not now.
" You… what?" I was frozen for an instant.
" This morning before I came here I went to go see Harry" No, I didn't miss hear her. " I don't know why I had gone at first, I couldn't bring myself to read that letter from him, until last night. I shut myself in the bathroom while Blaise slept, and I had all of these emotions rush back to me. It was mostly just an impulse that told me to go." She paused.
" Gin…" I couldn't bring myself to ask her what had happened while she was there. I couldn't believe that Ron was right, and we doom ourselves in love. I felt tears swell up in my eyes.
" I know what your thinking Hermione, and its not what you think." I tilted my head and listened hard, I some how doubt that she knew what I was thinking. " I think at first I went there because I wanted to know why now, why after all of this time would he try and get me back? I hated that I could always come back to him. I mean Hermione I have always waited for him in the back of mind, and then there was Blaise. Then Harry didn't matter to me any more, at least not in that way. The space that I had been saving in my mind and heart for him was getting smaller."
" Ok, but…" I still needed to know what happened.
" Nothing happened, except I got my best friend back. We talked, about everything, and in the end he gave me his blessing." She wiped a tear from her cheek and smiled again. " Hermione He is the same Harry that he was" She started laughing. " He's lucid, and he made me realize that I was scared for nothing."
I walked closer to Ginny and grabbed both of her hands into mine.
" Ginny what were you afraid of? You were nervous about today?" She nodded.
" After Ron's speech it had got me thinking what if he was right about us. What if I had doomed us all when I gave up on Harry. I mean we had always had such a great love, and when he left me for good, is when everything with you and Ron started to go bad, like heart breaking bad." I shushed her.
" Ron is an idiot!" She laughed.
" I know, I mean I know but it got to me and Harry actually convinced me that I was thinking too much about what Ron thought, and I didn't need to think too much about it, because I know what I feel and that is a grater love for Blaise." I pulled my friend into a big hug, and she squeezed tight.
Meanwhile in the opposite end of the church, Draco was pacing while Blaise was trying to configure his tie. Blaise was getting frustrated with both the tie ,and watching his best mate pace. Why should he be nervous?
" Will you bloody well stop pacing, your making me dizzy!" He yanked the tie from across his neck and threw it across the room. " and this Bloody tie is making me insane!"
Draco stopped pacing and walked over to the tie that his anxious friend had just thrown across the room, and he looked up at him.
" Sorry man" He said calmly not looking up at him once. He could sense there was something bothering him.
" Oh forgive me! You must be so nervous, on a count of your not getting married today" He scratched his head. " On second thought, what is with you?" He sighed and helped his best friend with his tie.
" It's Hermione" He saw Blaise smirk.
" I knew it! I knew you two would fall for each other!" He chuckled a little, but Draco just smiled.
" Yes, except one problem"
" Oh yea and what is that?" Draco looked into the mirror next to his friend.
" My family would never approve, and I would get cut off with out a coin to my name. Changing sides was a big enough deal, but my mother was by my side for that, for this… I don't know what would happen"
" Because she is a muggle born, or because your not ready to admit to yourself that you cant imagine your life with out her?" He looked at his friend like he had crossed a line. He of course loved her, and wanted to be with, but he was afraid, and a small part of him wouldn't admit it.
" I love her!" He looked him in the eye, and he nodded.
" I know" they both nodded at each other, and made there way out to the church for the ceremony to begin.
Knock, Knock, Knock
Ginny and I looked at the closed door, just as I was putting the finishing touches on my myself. I had almost forgot to get ready as I had helped Ginny get ready for the happiest day of her life. Up until this moment I hadn't seen the dress that Ginny had picked out for me. I had trusted her judgment, and it was her day after all so I would wear my Hogwarts uniform if she wanted me to. That's when I opened my garment bag ,and saw the dress. I knew that I had trusted her for a good reason. It was a floor length, power blue almost silver, spaghetti strapped, ball gown. It shimmered in the light. It was simple, but beautiful, and brought out my best features. I put my hair up in a loose fitting pony tail, with curls flowing down, with a white flower placed strategically in my hair. I put on a pair of silver heels that wrapped around my ankle. The out fit was perfect.
Not a minute later the door opened and there stood Molly Weasley. Ginny's mother walked in grabbing her hand to her chest. This was one of the happiest days, seeing her only daughter married to a good man. She ran over to her daughter and hugged her, both trying their best not to cry.
" Were ready" She whispered to Ginny, and we both nodded to her, and made out way to the front of the church. Molly took her seat, and Ginny and I stood behind the doors to the congregation.
" Have you ever thought about where Draco and you might end up?" She gave me a knowing smile and I just smiled back, not saying a word.
The music started to play, and the doors opened slowly. That was my queue to make my way down the isle. I took my bouquet and sauntered down the isle, and I felt eyes on me, but mostly I focused in on one set in particular. Draco and I locked eyes all of the way down the isle, and I couldn't stop smiling as I stood in my spot. I looked down the isle and waited till the music got louder, and Ginny made her way down the isle. Everyone stood up and all eyes were on her. Blaise was one lucky fellow and I suddenly felt safe knowing that my best friend was truly happy. I only wish that I could be as happy as her. I hope that my love life isn't as doomed as Ronald thinks it is. One thing I do know for sure is Mr. and Mrs. Blaise Zabini have certainly proved his theory to be wrong, and mine as well.
