AN: Yeah I was surprised by that ending too. I have a plan about the age thing don't worry. Once again not JK Rowling.
I gingerly got to my feet and walked carefully towards the door. Thank Merlin mum's dress was backless. Tonks grabbed my hand and started pulling me towards the Gryffindor tower.
"How do you feel?" She asked wrapping her arm around my waist to help me walk. I was a little shaky on my feet and now was not the time to fall flat on my face.
"Dazed." I said honestly shaking my head. "Why are we heading to the common room?" I asked leaning on Tonks.
"The others went there to wait and hear what happened after they woke up." She said flipping her pink hair out of her eyes.
"Even Luna and Hannah?" I asked gripping Tonks' hand. "Wait I just thought of something."
"Yes and what's that? Dilligrout." The fat lady nodded and opened.
"We can't keep calling you Tonks when you get married." I said gingerly stepping through the portrait hole. She led me carefully into the room and we stopped. Neville had his arms wrapped around Hannah and they were in one of the squishy arm chairs, Ron and Luna were in the same position on the other chair and Harry and Ginny were sitting in front of the fireplace holding hands.
"Hey guys we have an announcement." Tonks said loudly bouncing on her toes. Everyone turned to look at us. Some of the first and second years waved but my friends immediately jumped up. Tonks turned to me and smiled. I swallowed and turned to everyone.
"Sirius and I are getting married in about three hours." Hannah and Ginny screeched and ran forward enveloping me in a hug. I hissed and pulled away my back still hurt.
"Wait you don't have a dress." Luna said frowning her eyes clear for once.
"We'll figure something out but we need to go to Albus' office to head to Grimmauld Place. Go grab some dress clothes and we'll split up. The boys will go with Sirius and Remus and the girls will come with us." Tonks said quickly. Hannah and Luna darted out the portrait hole and the boys went up their staircase.
"Come on," Ginny said grabbing my hand pulling me towards the staircase. I grabbed Tonks' hand and she followed. We ran up to my dormitory and shoved the door open. It was thankfully empty and we started grabbing things we would need.
"Grab a dress I can transfigure it." Ginny tossed Tonks a my least favorite dress and also passed her the boots she gave me.
Tonks passed Ginny a small bag and she looked up confused. "What's this for?"
"To put everything in there's an extendable charm on it." Brilliant. Ginny threw all my makeup and a hairbrush in there.
"Oooh she should use the prefect bathroom." Ginny said jumping up and slipped my perfume bottle in the bag.
"Not enough time." Tonks said grabbing the bag.
"Wait!" I rushed to my trunk and dug to the bottom of it. The small box was right where I left it and I pulled it out. I lifted the lid and pulled out the diamond necklace.
"Is that real?" Ginny asked shocked.
"Yeah," I said slipping it back into the box and shut the lid. Tonks carefully grabbed the box from me and slipped it into my bag.
Ginny slipped out of the room to her dormitory and grabbed everything she needed as Tonks led me down the stairs. Luna and Hannah were sitting on the couch their stuff draped over one if the chairs.
"Okay girls you can put your stuff in this bag." Tonks said opening the bag. Luna and Hannah looked at each other then shrugged and started to put their things into the bag. Ginny came down a moment later holding her dress, shoes and a bottle of Sleekeazy's Hair Potion. She quickly shoved everything into Tonks' bag and we left.
The halls were nearly empty and we quickly made our way to Dumbledore's office. We only passed a first year who smiled shyly at me. I waved to her and we turned the corner where Dumbledore's office was located. The gargoyle jumped aside when I muttered the word help. I timidly knocked on the door and held my breath.
"Come in." I turned the knob and pushed open the door. Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk his eyes twinkling brightly.
"I will have to leave at two thirty Miss Granger that gives us four hours to have you get ready and have this wedding can you do that?"
"Yes sir." I said nodding.
"Then you may use the floo to get to Grimmauld Place." I nodded and threw the powder into the fireplace and yelled "Grimmauld Place Library." I spun around and drew my arms close to my body. The library eventually came into view and I swayed slightly.
My stomach churned and I almost fell when I stopped spinning but Neville caught me. "You okay Hermione?"
"Yeah I'm fine where's Sirius?" I asked looking around. Ron and Harry were hanging white streamers and I could smell a cake baking.
"He's getting ready and you should too." I nodded and headed to my usual room that I shared with Ginny. The door was slightly open and Crookshanks lay on the bed a lazy smile on his squashed face. He seemed happier with Sirius so I had decided to leave him here.
I walked into the bathroom and pointed my wand at the tub, "Aguamenti." The tub filled and I took off my clothes. I gingerly lowered myself into the tub and hissed when the water touched my back.
A moment later the door crashed open and Tonks came rushing in. She stopped her eyes widening when she saw my back. "Merlin Hermione."
I shifted uncomfortably and bit my lip. "How bad?"
"It looks like a healed scar." She said softly looking at my back. "Does it hurt?"
"I feel sore and tender." She touched my back and I hissed. It felt like a burn when she touched me. "Did you press hard?"
"I barely grazed it." I sighed and she started to wash my hair for me.
"Where are the others?" I asked once she was done.
"Getting ready. It won't take them as much time as it will you." She said helping me stand. "I can't wrap you in a towel without hurting you."
"Can you use a drying charm?" Tonks bit her lip and nodded. The water blew away from my body and I shivered. At least it didn't hurt. Once she was done she carefully slipped a feather soft robe over me. I winced then relaxed. It was uncomfortable but bearable.
Tonks quickly started in on my hair drying it and styling it at the same time. The others came in and started in on my makeup and nails. I tried to follow their excited chatter but I was distracted. Halfway through my mum came in wearing an emerald dress and a noticeable bulge under her dress.
She burst into tears the moment she saw me and kissed my cheek. "Oh honey you look fantastic."
She sat on the bed and started talking to the other girls. They did everything they could to make me look fantastic using only minimal makeup and only one handful of Sleekeazy instead of the usual four. It wasn't till there were only twenty minutes left that I realized I was absolutely starving.
"Can someone get me something to eat?" Hannah darted out of the room before I even finished the question. She seemed to be trying to do anything I asked. It was easy to see she was trying to make up for the other day but she didn't need to. A moment later Hannah came in carrying a huge tray of food.
"Thanks Hannah but you didn't have to do that." I said grabbing a handful of celery sticks.
"I know but I wanted to." Tonks transfigured the dress we had brought a moment later from a plaid jumper with a huge bow in the back to a simple Grecian drapery style wedding dress.
"Its perfect." I whispered. Hannah and Luna slipped it over my head while Ginny used the color changing charm on my boots ant turned them white. They had me sit in a chair and Ginny zipped up my boots for me.
Tonks scrunched up her face and made her hair longer than usual. She quickly pulled on a blue dress and flipped her hair over her shoulder. "You like?"
"Definitely." I nodded smiling.
A soft tapping made everyone turn to me and I muttered a small, "Come in."
Dad opened the door and smiled at me. "It's time Honey."
I swallowed nervously and stood up carefully. Dad grabbed my arm and pulled me next to his side. "Don't let me fall dad I'm kind of shaky at the moment."
"I won't honey." Ginny, Luna and Hannah quickly left the room. Tonks smiled at me and slipped the diamond necklace around my neck. Dad ogled the gem then shook his head. Mum came up next to me and slipped her arm through mine.
"You ready?" She asked smiling at me.
Was I ready? Was I absolutely sure that Sirius and I were ready to be married? I loved him dearly. I wanted to have kids with him. Could I imagine a life without Sirius? No I couldn't.
"Yes I am."
