As soon as the young girls got back to Hogwarts they had so many thoughts and feelings running through their minds. Not only had it been an emotional day but they were engaged and were going to be getting married in the next 6 months. There was so much that they had to do. When it came down to it they were engaged and nothing else mattered. They had both secretly wanted that but neither one had talked about it yet. Now it was a reality and they both felt over the moon. Even the events of the day couldn't seem to dampen their mood. They sat outside of Hogwarts in the courtyard and looked up at the place they had called home for so long. This was their beginning and now it would be their forever.

Harriet was worried that Luna wouldn't think she was serious about the proposal and that she was only proposing because of the conditions of the will. It wasn't true though. Sure. It was sooner than she had expected to propose but she knew she was going to propose one day regardless. She just didn't want Luna to question her love. She truly did love Luna more than anything or anyone else on the planet and she hoped she knew that.

"Of course I do," Luna said with a smile, startling Harriet as she had forgotten about their new abilities. It was all relatively new. Really new. "I know how you feel Harriet. In fact now I know how you truly feel about me and about us. The engagement was unexpected but I wouldn't change it for the world. I always felt that we were meant to be but now I know it. I can't wait to start the rest of my life with you." She looked off dreamily into the sky for a minute before adding, "Do you think Professor McGonagall will let us have the wedding at Hogwarts?"

"You want to have the wedding at Hogwarts," Harriet repeated questioningly.

"Of course I do. Hogwarts has been our home for a long time. Don't you feel the same way?"

"I do actually. I just didn't know how you would feel about it. We should probably go talk to the Headmistress about all this and make her aware. We should probably keep our new abilities a secret though. Don't want that getting around. What do you think about asking Professor McGonagall to officiate the wedding though?"

"OHHH! That's a great idea! Let's go talk to her! Oh! We're also going to have to figure out maids of honor and groomsmen or whatever. At the very least one a piece to help get stuff organized! Would you mind if I asked Hermione? She's one of my few friends left here at Hogwarts. Also that way you could ask Ron and they wouldn't have to be jealous over who got picked because they both did." Luna's mind was racing as she was busy trying to plan the first few aspects of her wedding.

"That's brilliant. You're always thinking ahead. That's just one reason I love you," Harriet responded before leaning in and giving her fiancé a kiss. "I think we should tell Ron and Hermione first that way we can ask them and they're the first to know. Then we can go talk to the Headmistress and maybe ask for permission to floo your father. I'm sure you want to tell him!"

"YES I DO! Daddy will be so happy for me! Now who's the smart one Mrs. Potter?" Luna teased.

"That's Mrs. Potter-Black to you Mrs. Potter-Black!"

Both girls blushed and giggled. They were talking like they were already married. They held hands as they wandered towards the Gryffindor Common Room. They were silently talking between them about what they were going to say.

To their surprise Ron and Hermione weren't in their usual spot in the Gryffindor common room but one of the 3rd years had said he might have heard them mention the library. The girls thanked him and headed towards the library in hopes of finding their friends. Funny enough as they approached he library Ron and Hermione were just leaving with Hermione lecturing Ron about some bit of his Astronomy homework he had messed up on. She stopped mid-sentence as she saw Harriet and Luna heading towards them. She knew it was going to be a tough day for Harriet but she was surprised that both girls were grinning and giggling.

Harriet and Luna approached Ron and Hermione and simply said, "Follow us" as they headed for a nearby privacy room. Once they were all inside and Ron and Hermione were seated, Harriet locked the door and cast a few privacy spells before her and Luna stood in front of the couch facing the other two.

"I know you were going to ask so I'm just going to tell you…actually we've got a lot to tell you so…yeah." With that Harriet proceeded to go over the basics of both the will readings and hearing both the voices of her parents and of Sirius leaving all the important stuff until the end.

"That must have been hard for you," Hermione replied.

"I'm sorry mate. That's rough," added Ron.

"There's more," Harriet said with a smile she could barely contain. Both Ron and Hermione looked at her quizzically. "What in the world could have made her so happy about the will readings" they wondered. "In order to claim both the family names I have to get married within a year of turning 17. In short I have 6 months to get married." Harriet paused as Luna explained to them how they had gotten engaged and how Harriet had proposed. Harriet watched as they processed everything, from gasping to jaws dropping to Hermione exploding with excitement. "OH MY GOD! THAT'S AMAZING! CONGRATULATIONS," Hermione exploded as she got up and hugged Luna and Harriet. Ron stood up behind her and hugged them and congratulated them as well.

"Actually there's a little more," Luna continued, "Hermione, I was wondering if you'd be my maid of honor?"

"Me? Are you sure," Hermione questioned guiltily about all the things she had said about Luna when they had first met. "It's just that well….I mean….in the past…" she was fumbling with words.

Luna smiled and reassured her friend, "Of course I'm sure Hermione Granger. There's nobody else I would ever want instead. What happened in the past is there, time to move on and right now I want you to be my maid of honor."

Hermione beamed. "YES. I'll do it! I'll love to!" With that the two girls hugged.

Meanwhile not too far away a slightly more awkward conversation was being had. "Ron, I was wondering if you'd be my best man or man of honor or whatever? I'm not really sure what to call it. Can't say I'd done much research before this. We wanted to tell you guys as soon as we got back," Harriet asked nervously.

"Yeah mate. I'd be honored. I just didn't know if you were going to choose me to help you now that you became a chick and all. I mean girls normally ask other girls to do that sort of thing right?"

Harriet shrugged. "Beats me. I've only been a girl for the past 6 months or so. I'm not exactly sure what girl protocol is. I do know I'd rather have you up there with me though rather than some random girl I don't know as well. Besides who else am I going to ask? Ginny? YEAH like that would go over well. PSH! I'd like my best mate up there if it's all the same."

"Sure thing. What exactly am I supposed to do though?"

"I'm not sure either. I know there's parts to play in getting the ceremony set up and parts in it. Speeches at the dinners. At least as far as I've read. I'm sure Hermione will know more.

Once they had all come back together and sat down they talked for a little while about wedding ideas before the girls had to excuse themselves. They wanted to go talk to talk to the headmistress about the changes in their status as well as using the school for the wedding and possibly flooing Luna's father.
