Chapter Thirty-Two:

The dreaded day is finally here. Sure Ginerva and her planned their wedding all out, made like they were happily joining their respectful families, but Tori is the only one that has given up all hope of the crazy dream of their chosen men coming to save them. Ginny has lost the plot. She is waiting for Harry to just give up Hermione and "come back to her".

Ginny never had him. Harry followed the Granger girl around like a puppy dog since Halloween of their first year; from what Daphne said. Tori was in Hospital during her first year, and saw the boy during his visits to the bedside of Hermione.

After he rescued Ginny from the Chamber, Harry had to be sent away from the Hospital Ward. Tori was being released at the same time. They walked down to the Great Hall together. She noticed that he was wringing his hands the whole way. She wondered why, until the Hall doors opened wide during dinner and the petrified students and Ginny came in. Ron leaned back to see the people entering, but when Harry did so too and got up, he was grinning. Both girls ran to him. As Ron was in front, he captured his sister first. Harry grabbed Miss Granger and wouldn't let her go for anything. When Ron spoke, Hermione shook his hand. All Ginny got was a nod from Harry.

It was like that all the way up until last year. Her mother had started dosing Harry with a strong love potion. Ginny was in heaven, Harry was spending more time with her. Yet from the outside, one could see that the minute he saw Hermione, he was all focused on her.

It saddens Tori to see how far Ginny has sunk in her delusions. Clarisse told her that Vince and Greg would practically lock them away, but it is starting to look like Greg might need to do just that.

Ginny doesn't understand it. She waits outside all of Ron's classes, but he never comes out. Ron has told her that he isn't in them, but that just doesn't make sense. She knows that he is still in the building; Neville and Susan have had meals with him and the homewrecker, according to Parvarti.

Today, she is supposed to marry Greg alongside Tori and Vince. Maybe Harry is waiting to make his objections at the wedding. Yes, that must be it. He is romantic and valiant like that.

Ginny and Tori floo to the ceremony site, the Crabbe Manor. She dons her simple robes and braids each side of her hair, flipping one over the top of her head and then the other over that. She pins them in place and applies her makeup.

Tori does the same, of course her robes are finer and her hair is done in big bouncy curls. They walk down the aisle between the two sections of guests. Mainly, her mother, and the Goyles on one side and the Crabbes, Greengrass family with Daphne's husband, Jake, Tracy and her husband Marcus Flint on the other.

'Come on Harry, anytime now. Bust in here and stop this wedding from happening' Ginny silently pleads, as the wedding proceeds.

The moment for objections comes and passes without even a cough. From there on, it's all a daze of going through the motions. Before she knows it, it is time to leave for the honeymoon. When they return, they will be moving into married Slytherin quarters.

Karma and Woe

by Rita Skeeter

Tonight was the double wedding of Vincent Crabbe Jr to Astoria Greengrass and Gregory Goyle Jr to Ginerva formerly Weasley.

Aside from myself and Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Flint, family friends, the only guests were the families of the wedding celebrants. Lord and Ladies Crabbe and Goyle were happy to see their boys married. Lord Greengrass escorted Astoria down the aisle and Miss Ginerva walked down by herself. Her mother, Molly Prewett served as her attendant as Daphne Black, Astoria's older sister stood with Astoria.

Both grooms had their fathers stand with them. Chief Jacob Black sat with his in-laws and kept the now showing Mrs. Black smiling. Ms. Prewett seemed upset, but tried to keep a happy face for the ceremony. Mrs. Goyle seemed preoccupied. She kept glancing towards the doors. What was she thinking, I wondered. I soon figured it out when the moment of objection passed and no green-eyed, black haired hero spoke up. I imagine he and his lovely bride were resting up for the school week ahead. Maybe, they are going to attend the first movie night at the school.

The brides' gowns were both lacy wedding robes; Ginny's had 3/4 sleeves, and a belt. Astoria's was like a ballgown with a vee neck and cap sleeves. Mrs. Black and Astoria had a head full of bouncy curls. Ginny had braided her straight red hair and over-lapped the braids, before decorating her hair with baby's breath. It was simple, but very pretty all the same.

With so few guests, the reception took place in a muggle restaurant's back dinning room. To tell you the truth, the food was terrific. That is one feather in Mrs. Goyle's cap. I heard she chose the restaurant. Ms. Prewett made the two individual cakes and both together were enough for all of us.

I hear that the Crabbes will be taking the rest of the weekend for a short trip to Bath. The Goyles are off for a week in Paris.

My hope is that both couples will learn to love each other. I think that the Crabbes are off to a good start, as they seemed to be getting along. Young Mr. Goyle seems to want to connect with his bride, but it still might be a long road ahead for him.

I did overhear that both grooms' families were anxious for grandchildren. So is Ms. Prewett.

One more wedding to go. I hear that the wedding of Mr. Valdez and Miss Parkinson was pushed back due to wanting it to coincide with Di de Los Muertos. This makes sense, because they are doing a theme wedding with the Day of the Dead.
