Chapter 10

The Perfect Day

Victiore's POV

Crystal bells were ringing hung on the trees producing the most melodious sounds ever, the giant roses were blooming in the garden, the most beautiful tent made of golden lace stood erect near our outhouse, My uncles and cousins were trying to do their best with the decorations while my aunts stood there constantly nagging their husbands. A small smile spread on my face. The day was perfect. I remained seated near my window pondering upon my thoughts. Time flies like ash. I still remember the time when I used to roam callously in the same garden as a child. I still remember my favourite tree on which I had put a swing and my grandpa pushed me endlessly never showing a sigh of getting tired just to see me laugh.

I was the first Weasley child. The favourite of all. It suddenly hurt me to realize that I would no longer remain a Weasley. I Ms. Victiore Weasley- 23 – years old – profession - A writer in 'Witch's weekly' was going to become Mrs. Victiore Lupin. I closed my eyes and recalled all the beautiful moments I had spent with my family when a knock on the door startled me.

''So what is my little angel thinking?" asked my mom.

I smiled at her warmly. Even at the age of 45 my mother looked prettier than any of us. Her veela charm never left her.

"Nothing mum", I replied.

"I know how you feel but Teddy is a great guy, he will keep you happy,'' she said. I smiled at her and hugged her hard. I could feel a strong unbreakable bond between us. No matter where I am my mom will always remain with me – In my heart.

"Come on dear I will help you get ready'' she said.

We worked for few hours before I went to see myself in the mirror.

Inside the mirror stood a beautiful girl dressed in a floor length gown made of ivory and white satin gazer, a loosely woven silk belt supporting her waist. I smiled at myself. I had never felt this pretty before. My hair was tied in a loose bun that supported my vale, my make up was a bit heavy yet natural . The diamonds I wore glittered gracefully on my wrist and ear lobes but the icing on the cake were my beautiful glass slippers that made me feel like Cinderella.

"You look beautiful dear", said mum.

"You look great sis" said my 19 year old sister Dominique entering the room.

She herself looked beautiful as my maid of honour. She wore a beautiful floor length red gown made of silk with roses made of pearl scattered on her skirt. Her hair was tied in an elegant knot and she held a sweet smile on her face.

"You look great too", I smiled.

"Oh Vic! I am so excited – You are finally getting married" She said. ''You know what Louis has already started preparing for your farewell speech''. She added looking amused.

Louis was my 18 year old brother who was the brightest boy in the family, very different from my other male cousins which was one of the reasons for him not to be so close to them.

"OK Dominique I think we should go down to make sure everything is as perfect as our bride'' said Mum.

Dominique nodded and they left the room leaving me all alone once again. But with a family as big as mine it is quite an impossible task to dedicate some time just to yourself. So at that moment my two bridesmaids decided to enter the room.

Needless to say the two of them looked absolutely gorgeous. Roxanne who had a tanned skin like her mom looked very pretty in her gold floor length satin gown with a thick lace at the bottom giving it a more spectacular appearance. She had straightened her hair with a side fringe covering her forehead and looked ready to once again grab the attention of every guy present in the party.

Rose on the other hand looked much more subtle yet beautiful. Her dress was same as Roxie's but her hair was left open with pretty red curls falling up to her waist. She wore a delicate diamond bracelet on her wrist and a simple silver chain with a big diamond pendant which had an 'R' engraved on it. She smiled at me as her eyes sparkled.

"You both look beautiful", I finally said.

"Tell us something we don't know you,'' replied Roxie.

"But we look nothing compared to you" added Rose.

"Is that so? Then I feel I should give myself last minute touch ups" said Roxie as she hurried out of the room.

"This Roxie – sometimes she acts so silly'', said Rosie shaking her hand.

''Ï know sweety but she loves us all the same" I replied.

She smiled at me brightly and rested herself next to me.

"How does it feel?" she asked.

There was a reason for which she was my favourite cousin. She had a capacity to see right through me. She always could make out what my heart felt just by examining my face. Even my own sister did not know me that well.

"It is difficult to express what I feel right now'' I said.

She nodded in understanding and hugged me warmly. Oh I loved this child so much – There was a reason for which I chose her as my bridesmaid although the spot belonged to Molly – being old and all -but I wanted my favourite cousin to be with me on this perfect day.

"You know what Rosie, I am highly obliged. You agreed to do something with someone no one ever dreamt of - just for me" I said.

At this the expression on her face suddenly changed, and her ever sparkling eyes started to avoid my gaze.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked.

"No no I am fine – I have got to see mom" she said and left the room.

As I said she was my favourite little cousin so it was not only her who could see the right through me but the same law was to be applied for me too.

As soon as she left the room I knew she was disturbed and wanted to sort it out but that was not the correct time. My mom re-entered the room and decided to give me some so called important pre wedding instructions I listened her half heartedly my mind still wondering to my little Rosie.

'Oh heaven let not this perfect day be ruined'. I silently prayed.

Thank you!
