Chapter 26-Ruining Ewan's Wedding Is Going To Be Difficult
Summary: It was the weekend of Kiley's oldest brother's wedding. I didn't understand why
Song used: Smother Me By The Used
It's been a week since Tamsin was born and her hair still showed no signs of darkening. Dad's been in quite a bad mood since the incident at St. Mungos. But he can't help but smile whenever he sees Mason or Tamsin. My Misfits were coming by to see my baby, and they would finally know who the father is. Except for Jaden who's known for months. Al's been here a few times, mainly when dad's at work because he does not want Al here whatsoever. Rose hasn't been here since Scorpius told dad and Mr. Weasley they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Tamsin gets happy when Al is here, and that makes me happy. Even though we still haven't figured an arrangement. So for now, Al had to settle for these little visits.
I was holding Tamsin in my arms when mum came in carrying Mason. "Alli love, Cameron and Norah are here, with baby Aludra" Mum said, leaving the room. Norah and Cam walked in holding five month old Aludra, her hair was curly and changing to every color possible.
"Oh Alli, she's beautiful" Norah said, quietly. It was a good thing Tamsin was sleeping, otherwise her eyes would have told my secret before I had a chance to.
"This is Tamsin, my baby" I said, as Cam took hold of Aludra so that Norah could hold Tamsin. "Norah, where's Kiley?" I asked as Tamsin smiled up at her. Tamsin seemed to like her, that made me glad. Maybe Tamsin and Aludra would become bestfriends like me and Norah.
"He said, he'll be a little late and Jaden told me to tell you that he and Samson are dropping by" Norah said, cuddling her soon to be Goddaughter.
"Oh that's great, Jaden and Sam haven't had a chance to meet Tamsin yet" I say, smiling brightly.
"so are we finally going to find out who Tamsin's father is?" Norah asked, giving me a hard look.
"I will when the guys get here" I said, smiling as Aludra's curls settled on a very bright turquoise. She was such a pretty baby, lucky as well. Both of her parents are together. I wonder if they've taken her out in Muggle areas yet? I wonder if they showed her to Cam's grandparents, and what their reactions were because, Cam's Dad is a Muggleborn. I wish I could have seen the looks on their faces when they found out they've got a great grandaughter and that her hair changes color on it's own.
"Oh Hello Jaden, Samson, Kiley. Come in, Norah and Cam are in the sitting room with Alli and the baby" Mum's voice said, from the door. Jaden walked in first dressed in very tight clothes. How does the bloke breath? Samson was wearing loose fitting shorts and a nice polo shirt. Kiley was in his usual Emo garb. Except that his hair is starting to grow out and he is not wearing and makeup. Except that his nails are still being painted black and the little piercing is still there.
"Oh my goodness Alli, she's so perfect!" Jaden said, taking her out of Norah's arms and looking square into her now open eyes. "Well, Merlin's saggy bollocks, she got Al's eyes. I did not expect that" Jaden said, making Cam, Norah, and Kiley gaze at me in surprise.
"Oh what the eff, J! I was going to tell them!" I said, frowning.
"Al Potter is the father of your baby? Holy shit Alli. Why didn't you tell me?" Norah asked, frowning at me. Kiley looked at me in a weird way and Cam wore an identical frown to Norah's. Samson was just making Aludra smile by making faces at her. He sure was an oblivious bloke. But that made me like him.
"I didn't want to tell anyone but Jaden and Samson found out, then my brother found out, then mum found out, then dad found out. It's all a very stupid and long unnecessary explanation. I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys" I said, as Jaden handed Tamsin off to Kiley. Kiley was looking at Tamsin awkwardly now. He was sort of just holding her in front of himself. I seriously never know what goes on in his mind these days.
"Why is she blonde?" Kiley asked, causing everyone to look up at me.
"Dad says, it's a dormant Malfoy family trait. I didn't get it but, Tamsin did" I answered, as he handed her back to me. I cuddled her and she giggled softly. My beautiful baby. She did look a lot like Al. I wonder when I'll see him again.
"So, are you all packed, Alli?" Kiley asked, looking up at me.
"Yes, I'm all set. So we're all grabbing a Portkey to your Grandparent's Country estate?" I asked, as the doorbell rang again.
"Oh hello Albus, hello Rose. It's great to see you two. Alli's in the sitting room and Scorpius is out back" mum said, and then he entered the room. Rose had obviously went to go spend time with Scorpius. When Albus walked into the sitting room he was met with several pairs of curious and accusatory eyes.
"Eh hey Alli. I came to see Tamsin, I know you're going off for Ewan's wedding. So, I wanted to know if I could take her for the weekend?" he asked, sitting next to me. I looked up and smiled.
"Sure, you can take her for the weekend. I'll just let mum and dad know" I said, smiling at him. He shifts uncomfortably so I tell my friends to wait outside. "I'm glad you came by Al. I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to see you before I left" I said, as I handed our daughter to him. He smiled and coddled her in his strong Quidditch player arms. Man, I am still so randy. When the frick is it going to go away?
"Same here, Mum will be happy to see Tam, they really love her and James and Lily can't get enough of her. Ah James. His regard towards me have drastically changed eversince he found out Al and I had a baby together. Lily took to being an Aunt immediately. She hugged me tightly and told me how happy she was. So far, the best reaction of all.
"Well, I have to go now Al. I said, kissing my daughter's head and then hugging Al. Which was immediately a mistake on my part. I could feel my inner thighs exploding in heat. And I was thankful that Tam was in his arms or I might have given her a brother or sister. Because as dumb as it is of me to admit this, I saw the desire in his eyes as well. But, we had to stay friends. That's how it was going to be. Just friends. With a baby.
"Bye Alli" he said, as my mum handed him a magically expanded baby bag with all of Tamsin's things. She kissed me goodbye and then hugged Al and kissed Tam. After that, I joined my friends outside and they watched Al take Tamsin away for the weekend.
"It's so nice of my cousin to take responsibility" Jaden said, as Samson tugged him forward. We were going to meet Norah's cousin's at the portkey. Ark and Ero were the oldest of the Morningstars at Hogwarts.
"There they are" Norah said, as we walked into the empty field. Ark just graduated from Hogwarts and Ero was going into his seventh year. Ark Morningstar was the brother of Calpernia, Delilah, and Danica Morningstar. Ero was the older brother of Ginna and Aria Morningstar. Despite being cousins, Ark and Ero were practically carbon copies of eachother. Ark was taller but they were both thin and pale. Night black hair except for the ends of Ero's hair which were a dark blue. Ark had pale blue eyes and his black hair was slightly longer than Ero's. Ero had grey eyes and looked very depressed most of the time. The only person he was ever around was his girlfriend Wynter Anders. Also, he like Sean Crimson's mum never wears shorts or short sleeved shirts.
"Norah, how are you? You look wonderful" Ark said, hugging her tightly. Ero reluctantly hugged her and Aludra. After that, we all touched the portkey and ended up at the Harker's large summer home. The whole place was crawling with witches and wizards decorating the whole place. It was going to be a typical Magical wedding. I won't bore you with the details except that almost everything was the color rose and pearl. Which to me was basically pink and white. Kiley frowned as his parents Jack Sr. and Krista Harker walked towards him. He was still pretty miffed at his dad for kicking Chris out. Who I heard is living with Ryan right now.
It was the weekend of Kiley's oldest brother's wedding. I didn't understand why Kiley didn't want Ewan to marry his fiance' that is..I didn't understand until I met her. Sarah Bernard was the most vain and stuck up woman I have ever met, and my Grandmother is Narcissa Malfoy, so that's saying something.
"Oh look at my baby! Your hair is growing back and you've stopped wearing that awful black makeup. Oh Jack, doesn't Kiley look wonderful? Now if you could just take that little piercing from you lip, you'd look better. That and remove that awful black nail polish" his mum said, hugging him. He looked ready to commit a mass murder.
"Yes, we don't want everyone to think we have two poofter sons" Kiley's dad said, making Kiley and his mum frown identical frowns. Well the day was saved when Ewan walked across the large lawn and engulfed Kiley in a big brotherly hug. He hugged me and asked about Tamsin. Then he hugged Norah and shook Cam's hand. He greeted the rest of us and led us into the large home. Norah and I were sharing rooms whereas Jaden and Sam were sharing one and so were Cam and Kiley.
So basically, I was in a room with Norah and her daughter. I really hope Aludra didn't cry in the middle of the night because that would be Hell. I'm still not used to being woken up by Tamsin at like two or three in the morning. "Oh Jack stop it. So what if Chris has a boyfriend? Edward Zabini is a very nice and decent young man. And I know that Kiley may dress a little tightly and wear makeup and nail polish and piercing, but he is perfectly normal. He's just artistic. It's just a phase he'll grow out of. Chris however is NOT going through a phase. You can't help how you feel about a person" Mrs. Harker said, looking at her husband disapprovingly.
"You know, I'm right here mum" Kiley muttered, before walking off. Cam followed him while his parents frowned. I felt bad for Kiley and Chris.
"Eh well, Allisha, Norah, Jaden, Samson. This is my bride-to-be Sarah Bernard" Ewan said, as a gorgeous blonde female, walked over to him. She had light blue eyes a tiny waist, long legs, large breasts, and a huge arse. In other words, she looked like a runway model. She had a huge fake smile plastered on her face and I already didn't like her.
"What's wrong with your little brother, Hunny Bunny?" she asked, in the fakest sweet voice known to Witchkind. She was faker than May Anders.
"I don't know love. Kiley's been like that for most of the year though so it's really nothing" Ewan said, taking her hand and walking off. I could see her smirking behind his back.
"That girl is one nasty piece of work" Ryan said, appearing next to me. Ryan was the second eldest of the Harker boys. He looked very much like Jack and Kiley except that his long hair was his mother's brown. He was to be Ewan's Best man. Despite the fact that he obviously did not like Sarah.
"You can say that again" Jack said, appearing next to us with Elizabeth. Elizabeth just nodded her head once as she and Jack walked away towards the house. The only Harker brother I had yet to see was Chris. Then again, Chris did have a reason for not even wanting to be here. I hoped he'd show though. I haven't seen him in a while. It might be nice to catch up with him. Considering that I was the one that inadvertently convinced him to dump his girlfriend and come out to his family and friends.
"Is Chris going to be here?" I asked, Mrs. Harker.
"Yes, Chris won't be here till Sunday with his date" she said, frowning at her husband. He just walked to the house with the rest of the bags.
Well at least he'll be at the wedding. Everyone was off doing their own thing so I decided to help Kiley in his time of need. I walked to his room where he was sitting on his bed, looking at a photograph of himself, Norah, Cam, and me. We were all first years and it was taken the day I got on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. We were all so happy and everything was so simple back then.
"Alli, do you think everything will ever be the same again?" he asked, not looking at me.
I sat down next to him and remembered the many nights I'd spent in this bed. When we were kids, I used to sneak into this room scared of the dark and jump into the bed. Kiley used to hug me and tell me he was scared too. He always told me what he was feeling. But somehow, that changed. We all did.
"Nothing will ever be the same again Kiley. Cam and Norah are parents and engaged. I am a mother who's father hates the baby's father. And you, well you have changed the most out of us" I said, making him look at me. I can't remember the last time his midnight sapphire eyes didn't look sad.
"I was afraid of that. Alli, what I am about to ask you might make you think I'm an arsehole. Please, I need you to help me ruin Ewan's wedding" he said, making me look at him in shock.
"How are we going to manage that?" I said, making him smile. Seeing this made me smile.
"I've already spoken to Jack, Ryan, and Chris. They've agreed to help. Noone else must know what we're attempting to do" Kiley said, almost professionally.
"So what's the plan?" I asked, as he stood up and started pacing.
"Well, Chris is actually coming today, with a date. Ewan's bestfriend who he was and I know still is in love with. She just finished studying abroad in France. I know she loves him too. If we can just get Ewan to see what a bitch Sarah is and get him to admit his true feelings to Glenda" Kiley said, twirling a lock of his slowly growing hair. This meant that he was really thinking. We really were going to do this. "You should have seen him when she left. He wouldn't get out of bed for days. He didn't show up to work. He barely ate. And then, he met the bitch" Kiley said, viciously.
"Well I'm all for it but, how do we get him to see what a bitch Sarah is?" I asked, when Kiley's door opened slowly. I looked up to see Jack and Ryan walk in together.
"Simple, one of you lovely little teenagers drives her up the wall. If Kiley can get her to be the complete and utter bitch she is to him, in front of Ewan. We're saved and then we wouldn't even have to get Glenda and him together" Jack said, proving once again that he should have been in Slytherin.
"I agree but, we might as well get Glenda and Ewan together. That way, we can stop him from getting with another Sarah Bernard" Ryan said, crossing his arms and leaning against the door.
"So, when is Chris getting here with Glenda?" Kiley asked, looking a little anxious.
"When we're all at the dining tables out in the yard. I've timed it perfectly so that everyone can see our dear brother and his lovely date, arrive" Jack said, smirking.
"I've made sure Dad roomed Sarah in the guestroom farthest from Ewan's old room and Glenda's right next door to his" Ryan said, smirking an identical smirk. They both should have been in Slytherin.
"Well, you all know the plan. Kiley has to annoy that bitch into showing her true colors and we have to get Ewan and Glenda together and preferably alone together as much as possible for the next two days. It's also better if we don't meet up like this" Jack said, and we all nodded.
They left the room first and then I did and then Kiley. So now we all had to put on the surprise face for when Chris gets here with Glenda. Mrs. Harker was getting Dinner ready in the large kitchen while Mr. Harker rounded up the last of the Witches and wizards so they could go home for the night. They'd be back to continue preparing for the hopefully ruined wedding, in the morning.
We were all finally sat at the table, with two extra places set, courtesy of Jack and Ryan. Ewan was looking at the empty place beside him and Sarah was silently fuming that she had been placed across from Ewan. Jack and Ryan exchanged silent smirks while Kiley smiled. Sarah had been placed next to Chris's empty spot. They would arrive any minute and operation ruin the Wedding would commence.
A second later, the doorbell rings. "Jack Love, can you get that?" Mrs. Harker asked her husband. He nodded and prepared himself to come face to face with Chris after months without a word to eachother.
As soon as he opened the door, I heard Chris greet his dad quietly and then the unmistakable voice of Glenda. She sounded sweet and sincere. I remember meeting her a few years ago when she and Ewan were still at Hogwarts. I knew that I liked her because she was sweet and kind and not that overly sweet or fake. She was a good person. Not beautiful and maybe pretty but she wasn't someone you'd go for as opposed to the model type like Sarah.
"Oh Chris! You're here!" Mrs. Harker squealed embracing her fourth born son. Mr. Harker was probably upstairs putting Glenda's stuff in the guestroom.
"Yes Mum and I brought a date. You remember Glenda?" he said, making Ewan look up. He looked as if he couldn't believe it was her. Chris was standing behind a short, and curvy female. Glenda had alabaster skin and beautiful flowing auburn waves. Her honey colored eyes were no longer covered behind thick rimmed glasses. All I could do was stare. Glenda looked absolutely gorgeous. Sure she wasn't as thin as Sarah but, she was more natural.
"Oh Glenda! You look so beautiful, it's been ages. How are you?" Mrs. Harker said, leading her into the dining room. Chris smirked as he went to sit next to Ryan. Sarah looked up at the woman she knew was Ewan's oldest and closest friend. The look on her face was of utter jealousy.
"Everyone, you remember Glenda Irisa Hughes? She's here for Ewan's wedding" Mrs. Harker said, as she led Glenda to the seat next to Ewan. He was still looking at her as if he couldn't believe his eyes. "Ewan Harker, don't be rude and come say hello to Glenda" said, his mother. Ewan stood up and walked over to Glenda and his mother.
"Glenda, I can't believe it. It's been forever. When did you get back?" Ewan said, pulling her into a tight embrace. I could tell he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He probably thought he would never see her again.
"Just last week, Ewan you haven't changed a bit" Glenda said, smiling up at him.
"You look wonderful Glenda, you changed so much" Ewan said, taking another look at her.
"Ewan hunny bun, aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" Sarah said, ruining their reunion.
"Oh right. Glenda this is Sarah my…er…fiance" Ewan said, looking from Glenda to Sarah then to Glenda again. Sarah looked at him in disbelief but the rest of the Harkers smiled behind her.
"Nice to meet you Sarah and congratulations, the two of you" Glenda said, smiling at the two of them. She was genuinely smiling. She really was that nice.
"Alright enough of that. Let's all sit down to dinner" Mrs. Harker said, smiling at her son. Glenda, Ewan, and Sarah all sat down. All through dinner, Ewan and Glenda were laughing and talking. He didn't pay any attention to Sarah whatsoever. It was really pissing her off. The rest of us couldn't help but smile. This was definitely going to be easier than expected.
After Dinner I decided to get some much needed sleep. After all, Tamsin wasn't here to wake me up. I just hope as stated Earlier that Aludra sleeps the whole night through. I jumped into the shower, and etc. I was finally in the soft bed when Norah came in fully showered, holding Aludra. She didn't say a word, knowing that I just wanted to sleep. We went to bed and as soon as my head hit the pillow, I passed out.
------Kiley------
I was pretty happy with the results of tonight's plan. Ewan paid no attention at all to that primping, preening, prissy little slag. He only had eyes for Glenda tonight. She sure has changed though, and for the better. This just makes it that much easier. "Kiley, what are you still doing up?" Chris asked, walking over to me. It's been months since I've sat down and actually talked to Chris.
"Thinking. How did you get into contact with Glenda anyway?" I asked, curiously.
"Well, you know that I'm living with Ryan right now. It just so happens that Glenda moved into the flat on the floor under Ryan's. I ran into her on my way to meet Edward" Chris said, as he leaned on the wall next to me.
"Good thing you did, because then we wouldn't be having much luck on ruining this whole thing" I said, looking up at my brother. We used to be so close. I used to look up to him but, when I found out he was a poofter, I just lost all respect. I was so stupid. Chris is still Chris, he's just dating a boy. I found that it didn't matter. I realize now that I was acting like dad is now. Like a complete ignorant wanker.
"I'll say, Edward says it might as well have been fate. Fate has given Ewan and Glenda a chance. At least that's what Edward thinks" Chris said, rolling his eyes. He obviously didn't share his boyfriends opinions on this situation.
"Yeah well, I say we keep an eye on slaggy Sarah and try to push Ewan and Glenda. We only have two days until the wedding" I said, as Ryan walked out of his old room.
"You blokes still scheming eh? Well, I say we spy on them and see how that goes" Ryan said, brushing his long hair out of his face with his hand. I remember when my hair was that long.
"I agree. Surveillance is probably a good idea. Especially involving that bitch" Chris said, crossing his arms.
"We are going to have to keep a close eye on her" Jack said, joining the rest of us in the hallway. This time, Liz was not with him. Those two were practically inseparable. At least Liz was a rockin' chick. What? I heard it in an old muggle film. But she was. So was Ryan's girl, and even Edward was nice.
Ewan had to be the only one to pick a real bitch. "Boys, what are you all doing up?" Mum said, making us all jump. "The rehearsal dinner is tomorrow and we have alot to do in the morning. All of you get to your rooms" Mum said, making us all scatter.
------The Next Morning------
I was the last to wake up and make my way downstairs. Sarah was once again sitting farthest from Ewan who was ignoring her and talking to Glenda. It was hilarious. The rest of us just skulked around and did what we were told. "Kiley, you're always over sleeping on important days. Hurry up and eat your breakfast, I need you and your brothers to get your robes fitted" Mum said, bustling around. Dad was nowhere in sight. He must already be at work.
So the short and short of it is that, Ewan seemed conflicted and Sarah was just plain annoyed. Glenda seemed to be the only one in good spirits out of the three of them. The next day, we were all doing last minute errands. Slaggy Sarah was getting dressed and so was Ewan. The rest of us were already in our robes and I had asked Alli to find Glenda and try to convince her to tell Ewan what she felt about him.
My brothers and I were already lined up behind Ewan while the Bride from Hell was being primped and beautified. It was our last chance. If Alli didn't get Glenda to do it, then…all would be lost.
------Alli------
I couldn't believe what Kiley had me doing. How was I supposed to convince Glenda to confess her love to Ewan? It wasn't going to work. It's been a hell of time trying to get them to admit their feelings to eachother. "Glenda, can I talk to you?" I said, while everyone else went to find their seats outside, under the massive Marquee.
"Oh, sure Allisha. What do you need to talk about?" she asked, smiling her kind smile.
"Glenda, I think you should tell Ewan you love him before he marries that Hag, Sarah" I said, making her blush and stutter.
"Where did you get that idea? Ewan Harker has never and will never think of me as anything more than a sister, and Miss Bernard isn't that bad" she said, though I knew she thought otherwise.
"Well, I think you do. I think he does too. You should tell him before he marries the wrong girl" I said, making her frown.
"Don't be silly Allisha, Ewan and I are just friends, now come on, it's almost time for the wedding" she said, smiling again. She really did love him. She loved him enough to let him marry the wrong woman. She loved him enough to let him go. Glenda really was a Saint.
After getting ready, I met Kiley outside of the marquee. "So how did it go?" Kiley asked, as he straightened the front of his brand new onyx robes. His hair was brushed and he wasn't wearing his usual black nail polish. He looked pretty much like old Kiley, except with hair past his ears and brooding eyes.
"Well, I know she does love him but, she refuses to ruin the wedding" I said, making him frown.
"Bollocks, it looks like I'll have to take care of things myself" Kiley said, as we walked inside and took our seats.
"What are you going to do?" I whispered, as everyone else took their seats.
"You'll see" Kiley whispered back. At this exact moment, the traditional wedding march began to play and the bitch Bride walked slowly down the aisle on her fathers arm. He seemed friendly enough. Apparently Sarah gets her snobbery from her mother. Who she is like in every way.
As she reached Ewan, I couldn't help but notice that he glanced at Glenda before turning his attention to Bimbo Bride. The tiny wizard was soon in that whole "Dearly Beloved" crap. I looked at Kiley who looked at his brothers. They all looked seriously nervous. It was mere moments before the Bitch became Mrs. Ewan Harker. "If there is anyone who thinks these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace" he said.
At this moment Kiley, Jack, Chris, and Ryan stood and yelled "I OBJECT!" This made everyone gasp and look from the Harker brothers to Ewan and Sarah. "Guys, what is wrong with you?" Ewan asked, clearly embarrassed.
"Ewan you can't marry her! She's a snobby, gold digging, heartless bitch! She's not the one for you! You don't love her! She was just the rebound from when Glenda left to France! Don't marry her! You'll be making the biggest mistake of your life" Kiley said, making him sputter.
"You listen her you little brat! How dare you say those things and ruin MY wedding! As soon as Ewan and I are married, you'll never see him again!" She yelled. "Ewan my darling, you have a choice. Me? Or them?" she said, looking at him pompously.
"Them" he said simply.
"I knew you would choose m-WHAT?" she said, in a shocked voice.
"You heard me Sarah. I choose them. I choose my family and as of this day, I choose to not become part of yours. Now step off" he said, smiling at Kiley. He looked at Glenda and motioned for her to join him as Sarah and her mother stomped off. Her father was just as cheerful as always. Glenda stood up and walked slowly over to Ewan.
"What is it Ewan?" she asked, looking up at him.
"Glenda, I love you. Kiley is right. I've always loved you, since the day we met. I'm glad you came back because then I would have made a horrible mistake. And since we're all here, I'd like to ask you something" he said, lovingly. Mr. and Mrs. Harker were smiling and so were the rest of the Harkers.
"Yes, Ewan?" she said, smiling as tears slipped from her eyes.
"Will you marry me? Right here and right now?" he asked, pulling out a beautiful ring. The one Kiley and I had found in our first year. He had always planned to give it to her. It was his Grandma Annabelle's.
"Yes! Yes I will marry you right here and right now!" she said, sobbing softly. He hugged her tight before they turned around to face the man. Minutes later, Glenda Irisa Hughes, became Mrs. Ewan Harker.
The reception was fun and for once, Kiley and his family were all happy. Kiley's dad didn't even care that Chris had invited Edward to the wedding. I guess after today, he'll be more accepting. I danced with Kiley for the whole night. We never let go of eachother and yet, I could not stop but think about what would happen.
What would happen when we were older, when we left Hogwarts? Will we still be close like this? I hoped so and tonight, I could tell that he was thinking the same thing.
A/N: I'd like to say sorry x Infinity for the extremely long wait for this chapter. I've been going through some serious issues at home and it'd been giving me some serious writer's block. It also didn't turn out how I wished but, they never do. I'll definitely try to give you a faster update but, no promises.
