"Hagrid was doing his morning rounds when he saw smoke. When he arrived the ceremony site was on fire. Most of the stuff down there was beyond repair. We saved what we could. I'm so sorry Miss Potter." With that Minerva McGonagall gave Harriet a hug. Something she had never done in all her years.

"This is a disaster. Who would do this," Ron asked in disbelief.

"I've got a couple of guesses but no proof. Besides that's not what is important right now. Right now we need to figure out what we're going to do about the wedding."

"I know you said you didn't want all the attention but what about the great hall," asked Professor McGonagall. "We've still got plenty of time. I could get the house elves in there to decorate for the wedding."

"Winky. Dobby." *POP* *POP*

"Mistress called?"

"Yes. I need you and Winky to organize the house elves and start decorating the great hall for a wedding."

"Winky would be glad to help the great Misses Potter!" *POP*

"Kreacher lives to serve the noble Mistress Black." *POP*

"Ok. So now that we have that taken care, we should head down to the great hall and figure out how we're going to get it setup," Harriet said. "Just give me a minute to get changed." A moment later Harriet reemerged from her bedroom dressed casually because there was a lot of work to get done before they could have a wedding.

As they quickly walked towards the great hall, Professor McGonagall spoke up once more. "When we spoke this morning Hagrid said that he would take care of the replacement arch. I know you don't want to worry them but you should probably also let Miss Lovegood and Miss Granger know what is happening."

"Yeah. You're probably right Professor." Harriet concentrated as she walked. She could feel Luna still sleeping. "Luna's still asleep. Ron, would you be able to go over there and let Hermione know what is going on. Tell her not to panic or worry because we are taking care of everything. Just let them know what is going on and then get back here quick as you can. Oh and if Hermione is still sleeping, wake her gently." She grinned as Ron blushed.

"Permission to use the floo in your office Professor," Ron asked.

"Granted Mr. Weasley. The password is Gum Drops. It was a habit of the former headmasters. Hard to break," the headmistress replied.

Ron nodded and took off down the side hallway and headed to go get his task done. In the meantime Harriet conjured her patronus, Prongs, and sent him with a message to Marpesia asking if she would be able to come this morning and help them because there had been some trouble this morning. When they were almost to the Great Hall they ran into Neville and Hannah. Neville noticed the look on Harriet's faced and asked what was going on. Harriet explained the situation and both offered to help. While they were talking a hummingbird patronus showed up and Marpesia's voice spoke up. "I will be there immediately. I will apparate outside of the main gates but I need someone to come get me."

"I'll take care of it Miss Potter. Go take care of arrangements. We shall meet you in the great hall." With that Professor McGonagall left to go meet the visitor outside the main gate. Only certain staff members were able to unlock the gate to Hogwarts.

When Harriet reached the Great Hall she saw that a number of the House Elves had already started decorating, including Winky and Kreacher. "Hannah, would you be able to help the house elves, maybe give them some direction? I don't know that they've ever decorated for a wedding before." Hannah nodded and took off to help and direct the house elves.

Harriet looked at the great hall. The raised area where the teachers sat would be where they held the main ceremony. The area in front of it could hold rows of chairs that could easily have tables added to them for the reception. There were doors on either side of the staff table area that could be used as bridal entrances. All they needed was the red carpet and the arch. Harriet and Neville went and checked both side rooms and determined that they could be used with a few modifications. As they walked back into the main hall, Professor McGonagall and Marpesia walked in. As they met in the middle of the hall Marpesia reached out and hugged Harriet.

"She told me what happened. I'm so sorry darling."

"Thank you and thank you for coming early. Weddings are kind of your business so I figured I'd get your help and input. We can do the ceremony up on the raised section over there with myself and Luna in each of the side rooms. I think the side rooms need a few things to help us get ready but I'm not sure what."

"Sounds like you have this all figured out. What do you need me here for," Marpesia joked with a smile. "I'll take a look and make a couple additions." With that she wandered off to make her changes.

Harriet. Is everything ok? Ron showed up here this morning and told us what happened. The voice of Luna spoke inside her head.

Well good morning to you sweetheart. Everything is fine or it's going to be. We just had to make a change in venue. We're going to have the wedding in the great hall before the reception. We're setting it up as we speak.

Is there anything I can do to help? Luna asked

I think we've got it covered. Just let us know when you're going to be here. We've got a side room for you to get ready in. I've got one too. Everything is still happening according to plan.

Ok. I love you Harriet Potter.

I love you too Luna Potter.

I'm not Luna Potter yet.

Shortly my love. Shortly.

Harriet turned to Professor McGonagall. "Do we have all the paperwork to make it official?"

"Yes. It's all up in my office. All you and Miss Lovegood have to do is sign it with the witnesses and it will become legal immediately. The records will automatically become updated at the ministry and what you sign will be yours to keep," the headmistress informed.

In a few short hours the Great Hall had been beautifully transformed into a perfect location for a wedding. "Hey. We better get going and get you bathed or you will be late to your own wedding," Marpesia interrupted, "Ron, Neville and Hannah can finish up here."

Ron who had returned from his talk with Hermione and Luna a bit ago came up and reassured her. "She's right. Go on. We'll finish up here." Harriet nodded. "Thank you guys! I don't know what I'd do without you."

With that she and Marpesia went up to Harriet and Luna's private room so she could bathe. After that they would go back to their bridal room down in the great hall where she would change into her dress and finish getting ready. Shortly after Harriet had left, Hagrid had wandered into the great hall carrying the replacement arch. They got it setup on the main stage and got the carpet rolled out for the ceremony. The great hall was filled with chairs. At this point half of Hogwarts was expected to show up. Luna and Hermione came into the great hall along with Xeno Lovegood while Harriet was away as planned. Both gasped at the dramatic transformation of the great hall. They complimented the hard working crew and Luna asked them to leave 9 empty chairs in the front row before heading into the bridal room for Luna. A little while later the freshly clean Harriet came down and was amazed at the finished product. She once again thanked her friends as she headed into her bridal room where she would remain until the ceremony.

Minutes before the ceremony there was a knock on Harriet's door. Marpesia opened the door and let Ron and Hermione in. They took one look at Harriet and stopped dead in their tracks, mouths gapping. Hermione was the first to recover.

"Wow. You look beautiful Harriet. You're going to take her breath away. You're a beautiful princess." Harriet blushed and thanked Hermione.

Ron was still gapping like a fish out of water until Hermione elbowed him. Ron let out a loud "OOF." "Wow….I mean don't take this the wrong way or anything but wow. I mean you're hot. For a girl. That's not Hermione I mean." Ron stumbled out.

"Thanks…I think," Harriet replied with a blush. She wondered if Ron would ever get over the whole her being a girl thing. Probably not knowing him.

There was a louder knock on the door as Hagrid entered dressed in his finest with his hair and beard washed and tamed. "Wow. Harriet. 'Yer looking great. I can't believe yer all grown up and getting married. It seems like just yesterday I was going taking ye shoppin in Diagon Alley for the first time." With that Hagrid pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes before going over and hugging Harriet.

She turned to Hermione. "Is Luna ready then?" Hermione nodded. Harriet took a deep breath. "All right then. Let's get this thing started." Hermione cast a quick spell on Harriet before she left to go get Luna ready, Marpesia went out to take her seat, and Ron went outside the door to wait for the signal. Harriet and Hagrid stood by the door. Harriet was on the inside and so the crowd wouldn't be able to fully see her once they turned and headed down towards the arch. Harriet had made sure to hire a pair of professional photographers for the wedding. These were the moments that they would keep forever.

As they music started, Harriet's heart rate picked up. Ron peeked his head in through the door. "It's time."

Harriet nodded. "This is it," she thought as she put a giant smile on her face. She knew the crowd wouldn't be able to see her or Luna until they got to the altar. They took one step at a time behind Ron. It seemed like it took forever to get up there but finally Ron and Hermione stood aside as Luna and Harriet hugged their escorts. Neither had seen the other yet thanks to Hermione who silently cancelled the spell while they hugged. Finally they turned and saw each other. They both gasped in awe at how beautiful the other looked before grinning wildly. Tears came to Harriet's eyes as she saw Luna and she could tell Luna felt the same way.

Luna wore a rainbow wedding dress similar to the one that Harriet had bought her and a tiara of silver unicorn horns. On her neck was the necklace that Harriet had bought her of the Thestral. All in all it was a few Luna outfit and she looked absolutely stunning in it. Harriet was wearing her traditional white princess gown that Marpesia had sold her along with the shoes, necklace and of course the tiara.

There was a gentle cough as Professor McGonagall got their attention. As they looked at her they could see that she too had tears in her eyes. "You both look beautiful," she whispered, "Shall we get started?" They nodded. "Very well then." She cast a quick sonorous charm before continuing.

"Good afternoon friends, family and fellow Hogwarts students and thank you all for coming. We are gathered here today in the great hall to witness the marriage between Luna Pandora Lovegood and Harriet Jasmine Potter…."

Before she could continue, the doors to the great hall flew open and there stood a very disheveled Draco Malfoy, bottle of fire whiskey in one hand and his wand in the other.

"I object!"
