-----------------------------

All of their friends and family were gathered in the small church in Godric's Hollow. Harry
Potter was getting married to the love of his life. Priest finished the wedding rituals and
announced,

"Now that Groom and Bride have given themselves to each other by the promises they have
exchanged, I pronounce them to be husband and wife. Now Groom may kiss the bride, sorry
*again* kiss the bride." Priest announced with a smile.

Harry once again pulled his wife in his arms and kissed her tenderly with all the love he felt
for her. They both turned towards the gathering. Everyone in the church was applauding for them.
Harry smiled at his wife and said, "I Love You".

"I love you too Harry." His wife said and kissed him again forgetting everyone else in
the world.

**Flashback**

*Harry Potter had never been so happy in his entire life* *before**. War was
over* *and* *l**ight side had won without many sufferers**. Now he was*
*free to live his life without any* *kind of* *threat looming over his head. He along
with his best friends Ron and Hermione had* *decided* *to* *go to Hogwarts to
complete their* *seventh year at Hogwarts.*

*Harry had decided to become an Auror. Ron had joined in business with his twin brothers and
Hermione had joined Magical Law Enforcement department. Three of them were having a great life. Ron
had started to date Luna Lovegood. Everyone was surprised at this**,* *but in the
end,* *accepted it. Hermione's* *social life* *was almost nonexistent**, as
she was busy in fighting against repressive laws. And Harry, he was having fun. He was*
*single, enjoying his bachelorhood**, and was quickly gaining* *the* *image of*
*a* *playboy.*

*It wasn't until he met his first crush Cho Chang, that he became serious about having a
relationship. They both had met during a Quidditch match* *and* *reinitiated their
friendship. Harry's old feeling**s had started to resurface and* *one day he asked
her out. To his surprise, Cho said* *that she had been waiting for* *him to ask her
out.*

*They both were having great time. Except some problems between Hermione and* *Cho, rests
of the things were going well**. Hermione had never liked Cho from starting**,* *but
decided to be friendly to**wards Cho for Harry's sake. But* *Cho always had problems
with* *Harry and Hermione's friendship,* *Harry had* *to* *assure her*
*repeatedly that there was nothing* *between him and Hermione.*

-----------------------------

*Time passed. Days became weeks, weeks became months. 8 months had passed since Harry and Cho
got together. Relationship was* *a* *pure bliss for* *Harry.*

*Harry* *wanted to take their relationship to* *the* *next level* *and*
*propos**e* *her. It was Cho's birthday next week* *and* *h**e had
decided to propose her on her birthday. He planned a surprise dinner for* *Cho on her
birthday.*

*Cho was a famous supermodel. On the day of her* *birthday,* *she was having a photo
shoot. Harry had never told her about dinner surprise. Around* *six* *in the*
*evening,* *he apparated to her shoot**ing* *place. He entered the building and
asked the receptioni**st about Cho. Receptionist was* *flustered seeing Harry Potter
standing* *right* *in front of her. She told him that Cho was on the fourth floor where
wizarding studio was.*

*Harry made his way to fourth floor. It was a huge studio* *and e**veryone was busy
with* *his or her* *work. Harry* *knew few of them.*

"*Hey Jim**,**" Harry said to one of the photographer.*

"*Hey Harry. Long time no see." Jim said.*

"*Yeah**, I h**ad a bit of tight schedule* *for last couple of
months**. Where's Cho?" Harry asked.*

"*She must be in* *one of the* *changing room. We just finished the
shoot." Jim said.*

"*Thanks." Harry said and made his way towards* *the* *changing
rooms**.*

*He checked the changing rooms. All the rooms were empty except the last one near the wall.
Door* *of the room* *was* *slightly* *open and light was* *on*
*in* *the r**oom. Harry pushed the door a little**, what he saw* *inside
just* *shocked him to the core of his heart.*

*C**ho was pressed against the wall* *kissing none other than Draco Malfoy. They
both didn't notice that Harry was watching them. Harry snapped out of his shocked
state.*

"*Cho**!**" Harry almost yelled.*

*Cho quickly pulled away* *from Draco and looked at Harry.* *Shock* *was*
*written all over her face. Harry and Cho* *just stared* *at each other.*

"*Well Potter, now if you are done with your staring**,* *why don't you
leave us alone." Malfoy said with a smirk on his face.*

*Anger flared inside Harry at this. "Just shut up, you bastard" He said and launched
himself on Malfoy punching him hard on the face. Malfoy fell on the floor with his nose
bleeding* *profusely**. Harry again started punching him wherever he could. This pulled
Cho out of her stunned position.*

"*Harry**,**" she called, trying to pull him away from* *the*
*already bleeding Malfoy.*

"*Leave him Harry. It's not his fault." Cho shouted. Before anyone else*
*w**ould* *come* *to check* *what was going o**n, she closed the door of
the room and performed* *a silencing charm on* *it**.*

*Harry* *pulled away from Malfoy and looked at Cho.*

"*I think you enjoyed having ferret's hand all over you." Harry said
angrily.*

"*Harry it's not like that. Please listen to me." Cho pleaded.*

"*What's there to listen to, Cho? For* *G**od**'s* *sake,*
*I practically saw you and this ferret kissing each other. What* *else you have to say? How
long* *you have been doing this* *behind my back?" Harry said in dejected
voice.*

"*It just happened twice. I don't know how it happened. Last month when you went to
France for your Auror duties, I met Draco in Leaky Cauldron. We were just talking and next we
started kissing." Cho said desolately looking at the floor.*

"*Why him Cho? Of all the people, why him?" Harry* *asked**. Cho was just
quiet.*

"*You know**,* *today I w**as going to ask you to marry me a**nd you
just go ahead and break my heart in**to* *pieces. If you didn't want to be with
me* *you should have told me* *instead of going behind my back." Harry said
despondently.*

*Cho had* *a* *stunned expression on her face at this revelation.*
*Then**,* *she composed herself again.*

*They both had forgotten* *about Malfoy lying on the floor* *unconscious.*

"*I want to be with you Harry. Please forgive me**.**" Cho said*
*hopefully.*

*Harry just shook his head. "No**,* *Cho**.* *I don't think*
*it's* *possible now. You* *have* *broken* *my heart, as well as*
*my trust for you. I don't think I can trust you again." Harry* *said,*
*"I hope you find your happiness with him." Harry said gesturing towards unconscious
Malfoy and then left without looking back at* *his ex-girlfriend.*

-------------------------------

*Harry had never felt so empty in his whole life. He felt as though if his whole world had
fallen apart.* *He was hoping to have a family he always wanted a**nd* *all his
hopes* *shattered in just few minutes. He felt lost and alone.*

*His life was never the same after that. He had started drinking. He hadn't told anybody
including Ron and Hermione about his break up with Cho. He spent most of his time in muggle
pubs* *and* *d**ue to* *the* *lack of responsibility towards his*
*job,* *he was suspended for 3 weeks.*

*Cho had left the apartment they both shared* *and* *h**e was living alone
there now.*

*One day Harry had got back from a pub. It was one of the cold**est* *evenings of
December. He was completely drunk and was opening the door of his apartment when he heard a
voice**,*

"*I didn't know you were so fond of alcohol, Harry."*

*Harry quickly turned around and found himself face**-**to**-**face with
Hermione Granger. Hermione waved her wand at Harry and he was immediately sobered up. Harry blinked
as his mind cleared a bit.*

"*Hermione**,* *what are you doing here?" Harry asked astounded.*

"*Well**,* *you seem to* *have* *forgotten* *that you have
friends who care* *about you, but I haven**'t." Hermione said coolly. Harry
stared at her as though if seeing her for the first time.*

"*Now**,* *will* *you just* *keep staring at me or*
*i**nvite me inside?" Hermione said in an amused voice.*

"*Oh yeah**,* *c**ome in." Harry said, as he* *unlocked*
*the door of his apartment. He entered into his apartment with Hermione following him.*

*Harry switched the lights on with a flick of his wand. He motioned Hermione to sit on the
couch and went to his room to change out of his* *cloths, which* *now smelled of alcohol
and smoke.*

*A* *Few minutes* *later,* *he came out of his room wearing fresh
cloth**e**s.*

*Hermione was sitting on the couch rubbing her hands and fire was burning in the
hearth.*

"*Since I don't need a hangover potion, thanks to you, I am going to have some hot
chocolate. Do you want to have something?" Harry asked Hermione.*

"*Hot chocolate wou**ld do." Hermione replied* *with a smile.*

*Harry nodded and made his way to the kitchen. Few minutes* *later,* *he came back
with* *two* *steaming mugs of hot chocolate. He handed one over to Hermione and sat next
to her.*

"*Thanks**,**" Hermione said gratefully.*

"*So what brings* *you here?" Harry asked nonchal**antly taking a sip from
his mug and* *immediately felt warm inside.*

*Hermione just shrugged her shoulders. "Just wanted to see you I guess. Also**,*
*today* *I saw Cho with Terry Boot. They both were making out in public. And since you
didn't fe**el* *like telling* *me* *anything about that, I thought I should
ask you myself."*

*Harry didn't say anything. He had* *a* *good* *idea beforehand about why
Hermione had come there.*

"*OK. Given* *that,* *you are not going to say anything I would take the direct
approach. What happened between you and Cho?" Hermione asked bluntly.*

*Harry was staring at the fire. He turned his head to look at Hermione.*

"*We broke up." Harry answered without any emotion. His eyes were blank devoid of
any feeling**s**.*

*Hermione didn't say anything as she looked into Harry's eyes. Looking* *at*
*the* *blank look* *in his eyes hurt her. She caressed* *his cheek with her
fingertips. Harry closed his eyes as a tear slipped from his eyes. Hermione couldn't take it
anymore. She leaned towards Harry and hugged him tightly. Harry didn't respond
im**mediately, but slowly he wrapped his arms* *around Hermione.*

*Hermione felt her shoulder getting wet**,* *b**ut she didn't let go of
Harry. She knew Harry needed to let out all his anguish* *he had felt in* *past few
months. After* *sometime,* *Harry calmed down a bit.*

"*I am sorry." Harry said in a low voice.*

"*Don't be. You needed a shoulder to cry on and I was here. That's what
friends* *do,* *Harry." Hermione said in a comforting tone.*

*Harry looked at Hermione and gave a small smile. "I don't believe I cried like a
baby." Harry said with a chuckle. Hermione brought a thoughtful expression on her face and
nodded and then she just burst out laughing.*

"*I am glad to know that you enjoyed my crying." Harry said in whiny voice and
started laughing with Hermione.*

*Harry had never felt* *this good* *for a long time. "Thanks
Hermione.**" Harry said in a heartfelt voice**. Hermione just smiled at him and
squeezed his hand. Later* *on,* *they chatted for a long time. Harry told her everything
about what happened between him and Cho. It was easier to talk to Hermione about it. Hermione
stayed with Harry for the night. They both watched* *some* *movies and then went to
sleep. Hermione slept in the guest room while Harry went to his bedroom.*

--------------------------------

*Life took a* *better* *turn* *for Harry after that.* *He started spending
most of his time with Hermione**. There was something about* *her, which* *always
man**aged to sooth his nerves. It had* *always* *been* *like this since their
school days. He had started to enjoy her company more than a person* *would* *normally
do* *of his* *or her* *best friend.*

*Hermione had* *always* *been* *there for him. Whenever he* *had a problem
he would* *go to her. He had started to get over Cho. He was back on his* *A**uror
job after 3 weeks of suspension. Things were once again looking upward in his life* *and*
*he had* *started to hang out with his other friends.*

*However,* *new feelings started to make their way into his heart. He had started to look
at Hermione more than just a* *friend did**. He thought that it was just because he was
spending so much time* *with her. He presumed that his* *feelings would* *just*
*go away with time. But as time passed his feelings became more intense. He felt* *as if*
*these feelings were always there, and h**e was a fool for not noticing them*
*sooner.*

*Whenever he was with Hermione, he couldn't help**,* *but stare at her. He never
noticed before how beautiful she was. She wasn't a stunning beauty like Cho, Ginny or Lavender.
But she was kind of a natural beauty.* *Somehow,* *Cho or any other* *girl like her
stood* *nowhere* *close* *to Hermione.* *Harry longed* *to hold her in*
*his arms. He wanted to kiss her and* *h**e wanted her to want him as well.*

*Harry was sure that if he didn't do anything about h**is feelings he would go
mad.* *Finally,* *on a Sunday evening of February, Harry decided to tell about his
feelings to Hermione.*

---------------------------------

*They both were at Harry's place. They both had come back from a
get**-**together party* *and* *Harry had requested Hermione to stay at his
place for the night. Hermione was a bit hesitant**,* *but then gave in to Harry's
pouty face.*

*They both were watching the movie. Harry thought it was the right time to tell about his
feelings.*

"*Hermione**,**" Harry said nervously.*

"*Yeah**,**" Hermione said looking at Harry.*

"*Umm…. You see I…I have some…something to tell y...you." Harry
stammered**.*

"*OK. What is it?" Hermione asked* *curiously.*

"*I…Ihavefeelingsforyou." Harry* *said* *hurriedly**.*

"*What? What did you sa**y**?" Hermione asked looking confused.*

*Harry took a deep breath and spoke with a calm voice "Hermione I have feelings for you,
more than* *that of* *just* *a friend." He finished looking at Hermione
straight in the eye.*

*Hermione didn't reply immediately. She was shocked at Harry's words* *and*
*Harry* *was* *starti**ng* *to get* *worried,* *as Hermione
didn't reply.*

'*Does she not feel the same?' he thought. He braced himself for the worst to come,
Hermione's rejection.*

"*You have feelings for me." Hermione whispered.*

"*Yeah**,**" Harry said nervously.*

"*But..." Hermione trailed off. She was deep in thought when Harry interrupted.
"But what Hermione?" he asked. Hermione looked at him.*

"*How can you have feelings for me Harry?" Hermione asked**.*

"*What you mean?" Harry asked perplexed at her question.*

"*I mean**,* *why* *do* *you have feelings for me**?*
*It's not as though if I am an eye-catching beauty. I am just* *a*
*plain**,* *old, ugly, bushy haired, nagging Hermione. You never showed any interest in
me* *before**. And* *the* *kind of girls you* *have* *dated* *in
the past**, I am nowhere* *close to* *them. They all have been great beauties. You
have no reason to lik**e me." Hermione said dejectedly* *looking down as though if
ashamed of herse**l**f.*

*Harry's stance softened at this. "Hermione**,**" he said. But when
He**rmione didn't look up, he touched* *Hermione's chin gently with his fingers
and forced her to look at* *him. She had tears in her eyes;* *i**t hurt Harry to see
her cry. He wiped her tears away.*

"*Hermione Jane Granger, never* *ever think that you are not beautiful. You are the
most beautiful person I have ever seen. And I am not saying this just to make you feel good, I mean
these words. Cho, Lavender,* *and* *all those* *other* *girls are just
beautiful outside, you are beautiful both inside and out.* *Don't you dare say* *that
you are ugly. See it through my eyes, how beautiful you are." Harry said softly**,*
*"And I was a fool to not see what was right in front of my eyes."*

*Hermione had an unbelievable look in her eyes. "But you loved Cho. You were going to ask
her to marry you. What if you are feeling like this because you miss her." Hermione
said.*

*Harry shook his head. "I don't know if I* *ever* *loved her. I had some
good time with her. I wanted to ask her to marry me because I wanted a family. Probably that's
why I was in a hurry. What* *I had with her is* *just* *in the* *past now. I
want to forget about it as a bad memory. I want to be with you Hermione. What I feel for you is
something I never felt for anyone before, not even Cho. Do you feel the same way for me?"
Harry asked in a tender voice.*

"*I have felt this way for you since Hogwarts days." Hermione* *said as tears
once again rolled* *down her face. Harry was surprised at this revelation. He didn't know
what to say.*

"*Why didn't you tell me?" Harry blurted out.*

*Hermione just shrugged her shoulders "You didn't show any interest in me." She
said.*

"*I was a really thick. Wasn't I?" Harry said with a chuckle. Hermione just
snorted at this. "Trust* *me;* *there was no doubt* *about it**." She
said.*

"*Hey**,* *you were not supposed to agree with me." Harry sa**id
feigning hurt. Hermione* *started laughing at this. Harry just smiled looking at radiant
and* *carefree* *Hermione* *sitting in front of him**.*

"*So does that mean….?" Harry trailed off giving a knowing look to Hermione.*

"*If you mean whether we are together or not, then answer is Yes." Hermione said
in* *a* *laughing voice.*

*Harry gave her a roguish grin and pulled her on his lap* *making Hermione gasp*
*at* *the* *sudden movement.*

*Harry cupped her face with his one hand while his other hand held her close to his chest. He
kissed her gently. It began as a soft and innocent kiss, but soon turned out to be a passionate
songfest. After few* *minutes,* *they both pulled back.*

"*Wow!" Hermione said with wonder. Harry grinned at her.*

"*I'll take it as that you like**d* *it." He said. Hermione just
nodded feeling dazed from kissing.*

*Harry held her close**."I am glad you are here with me." He said.*

"*I'll always be there with you Harry, as long as you need me, I promise."
Hermione said earnestly.*

*Harry smiled. "Don't make such promises Hermione. I may need and want you with me
forever." He said.*

"*Try me." Hermione said and kissed Harry again.*

-----------------------------

*They both were happy**.* *For Hermione it was just like a fairy tale. She never
once in her* *life thought that Harry would* *return her feelings**,*
*b**ut he did to her astonishment. He was so good to her. Sometimes she thought what she did
to deserve him. He always cared for her. He never forgot to tell her how much he loved her.*

*For Harry, it was like he was living in a different world altogether. He felt as though if he
was on cloud nine. He* *would* *spend* *half of his time with Hermione and*
*the* *other half thinking about her. He ju**st couldn't explain how he felt;*
*i**t was a feeling he was not able to explain in words. With* *Hermione,* *he was
Harry, just Harry, not some savior of the world. Her every move and gesture made him feel her love.
They never needed words to tell what they were feeling. One look in the eye and they would know
what other was feeling or thinking.*

*Harry had heard about Cho. She was enjoying her life. Media had run* *many*
*stories about his breakup with Cho. Sometimes it hurt him to see that she had no
regret**s* *about hurting him. Every week there were rumors about her affairs with
different guys. Harry tried to block the hurt he felt whenever he read or heard about Cho. He knew
it was not fair to Hermione. He loved her and never ever wanted to hurt her.*

*Hermione had once asked him if he still felt anything for Cho. He had simply said
'no'. He was very much sure about his feelings for Hermione. He had never felt this way
with Cho.*

*Harry and Hermione had been* *together for six months now. One day Harry proposed her.
It wasn't very romantic, but Hermione loved it.*

-----------------------------------

*Harry and Hermione were on a short holiday in Capri an Italian Island. They had rented a
cottage there. It was early morning. Hermione was in* *the* *bed while Harry was
preparing the breakfast in the kitchen. After setting coffee mugs and food in the tray, he took the
breakfast to the bedroom.*

*He smiled at Hermione's sleeping form. She was glowing. Her hairs were spread out on the
bed behind her head.* *H**er naked body was covered in silky sheets. Harry was feeling
tempted to get under the sheets with her.*

*Last night was the first time they had made love. It was the most amazing experience he had
ever felt. It felt so right for him. For the first time in his* *life,* *he felt
complete. It amazed him that it was the first time for Hermione. He had a pleasing kind of feeling
of being her first.*

*He sat on bed next to where Hermione was sleeping. He leaned towards her. "Hey
sunshine**,* *i**t's morning." He whispered in her ear.*

*Hermione opened her eyes and looked at Harry. S**he gave him a lazy smile."Good
m**orning Harry**.**" she said and closed her eyes again.*

*Harry smiled mischievously and once again leaned towards her. "Hermione will you marry
me?" he whispered in her ear. For next 30 second**s he got no response from her and
t**hen she suddenly sat up and almost shouted "What?"*

*Harry started laughing silently at her reaction. Hermione gave him one of her famous
glare.*

"*Sorry,**" Harry said in an amused voice. Hermione threw a pillow at*
*him, which* *caught him off guard.*

*Harry looked aghast at this. "You know you shouldn't have done
th**at**?" Harry said with* *a* *playfu**l glint in his eyes. In one
swift motion**,* *he trapped Hermione between his body and the bed. Hermione tried to
push him away, but he was stronger than her. He grabbed both of* *her hands and pinned them
on* *both sides of her head. Hermione started fidgeting under his weight.*

*Harry just shook his head. "It's of no use Hermio**ne. You will get nowhere.
Why* *waste your energy? You will need lots of energy later." Harry said in husky tone in
her ear. He pulled back and looked at Hermione. She was completely flushed. Her eyes were
closed* *and* *h**er breathing had quickened.*

"*You didn't answer my question**,* *Hermione." Harry said in a warm
tone.*

*Hermione opened her eyes and looked at him with love and lust filled eyes.*

"*Do you really mean it?" she asked looking at him.*

"*Yes, every word." Harry said caressing her cheek.*

*Hermione brought her free hand to touch his cheek. "Then you don't have to ask even.
Yes." She answered as few tears leaked from her eyes.*

*Harry wiped her tears away and gave her a soft and lingering kiss.*

"*I love you so much**,* *Harry." Hermione said as Harry kissed her on the
neck.*

*Harry raised his head and looked at her "I love you too." He said and kissed her
again, but this time it was more passionate and* *they were not* *holding anything
back.*

----------------------------------

*All their friends and family were very happy for them. Harry was surprised to know that many
of them including Remus, McGonagall, Neville, Luna,* *Arthur,* *and many others were
expecting him and Hermione to end up together. They had even placed bets on them.*

*Everything was a ru**sh after the proposal. They* *decided to get married in March.
As March* *approached,* *Harry became more* *and more nervous. Harry* *even
suggested to Hermione that they could get married* *secret**ly**. Hermione had just
laughed at* *h**is suggestion and asked him to calm down.*

*Preparations were* *on. Both Harry and Hermione were busy in finishing their pending
assignments o**f* *their job**s**.* *O**ne day Harry got a call from
Cho. She wanted to meet him**,* *but Harry* *simply* *refused. He*
*received* *some more calls from her**,* *but he never talked to her. He never
told Hermione about it. He didn't want to worry* *her* *unnecessarily.*

*However,* *calls never stopped and* *Cho kept trying. She even came to his office
to meet him, but he wasn't in office that time. Sometimes Harry felt like he should meet her.
After all**,* *what was so important that she wanted to talk to him so*
*desperately?* *But* *he decided it might not be a good idea* *to meet her*
*now that he was getting married in* *the* *next few days**.*
*Also**,* *n**othing was left between them now.*

*Time passed and finally wedding day arrived. They were getting married at* *a small
church in* *Godric's Hollow.*

--------------------------------

Present day

Harry was getting married to Hermione today. He was standing on the aisle waiting for Hermione
to come and join him at the aisle. Finally, she came walking through the door with her father. She
was looking beautiful. Probably 'beautiful' word was not good enough to describe how she
looked. Her face was covered with a veil. She was smiling with all her attention focused on Harry
only.

They both were standing in front of the priest holding hands.

"Today we all have gathered here to witness the wedding of the Groom Harry James Potter and
the Bride Hermione Jane Granger." Priest said

"Hermione Jane Granger, do you understand and accept this responsibility, and do you
promise to do your very best each day to create a loving and happy marriage with Harry James
Potter?"Priest asked.

"Yes, I do." Hermione answered without any hesitation.

Priest turned to Harry and said, "Harry James Potter, do you understand and accept this
responsibility, and do you promise to do your very best each day to create a loving and happy
marriage with Hermione Jane Granger?"

Harry was about to answer the priest's question when suddenly, "Harry please don't
marry her.", a voice echoed through the church. Everyone turned his or her head towards the
entrance of the church where Cho Chang was standing. She made her way towards where Harry and
Hermione were standing. They both were shocked to see Cho there.

Everyone was silent. They all were staring at Cho as she walked further into the church. She
stopped right in front of Harry and Hermione.

"Harry, you should not marry her." She said again.

Harry didn't know what to say. Here was the girl with whom he had once thought of spending
his whole life. Then, she went ahead and broke his heart. Now, she was here to tell him not to
marry Hermione.

"Harry, please listen to me. You know you don't love her, you still love me. I was a
fool to break your heart once and let you go. Give me one more chance. Don't go ahead with this
marriage, come with me." Cho said extending her hand towards Harry.

Harry looked at Cho. She was crying. She looked so small and vulnerable. There was a time when
he would have comforted her. He would have felt her pain. However, now there was nothing. He felt
nothing towards her, not even sympathy. Now all he felt was for Hermione. All his love and comfort
was for her and her only. He could feel a smile on his lips realizing that today he was going to
make Hermione his wife, everlastingly.

Unfortunately for Harry, Hermione's train of thought took the wrong turn. Hermione noticed
Harry's smile and took the wrong line of thoughts. Harry felt Hermione's hand leaving his
own. He turned to look at her, but she wasn't looking at him. She just removed her veil and
looked at Cho with sad look in her eyes. Then, her eyes shifted to Harry.

"Well I think, this is it then. You still love her, don't you?" she said
forlornly.

Harry was shocked. 'What the hell is she talking about?' Harry thought.

"Bye Harry," Hermione said. She turned to leave the aisle.

'Now, where is she going? Wait, does she think that I ...Oh god. Honestly, trust Hermione to
take the wrong end of the rope.' Harry mused.

Before Hermione could step down the aisle, he pulled her back in his arms, said, “I do” to
answer priest's question, and kissed Hermione passionately.

After a couple of minutes Harry pulled back, "I think this answers your question about whom
I love." Harry said grinning at Hermione who had a dreamy look on her face.

"Yeah," Hermione replied in a dreamy voice. Suddenly, she snapped out of her dreamy
state and blushed profusely as all the eyes were on her, most of them laughing at her response.

Hermione looked back at Harry and smiled. Harry released her from his tight embrace and took
hold of her hand. He turned to look at Cho.

"I just don't believe it; you are rejecting me over her." Cho said pointing
towards Hermione in an insulting manner.

"Just shut up, Cho and get the hell out of here." Harry said angrily.

Cho sneered at Hermione. "Always remember Hermione, you would always be his second choice.
He chose me first; you are just an available option, nothing more." Cho said in a smug voice.
Harry was about to retort, but she walked out of the church.

He looked at Hermione with worried expression. "Hermione, don't believe a word she
said." He said.

Hermione just laughed at his expression.

"You are damn cute when you are all worked up." Hermione said in laughing voice.

Harry relaxed at this."You are the only one I have ever loved." He said.

"I know." Hermione said and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

Finally, they both said their wedding vows and exchanged the rings.

"Now that Groom and Bride have given themselves to each other by the promises they have
exchanged, I pronounce them to be husband and wife. Now Groom may kiss the bride, sorry
*again* kiss the bride" Priest announced with a smile.

Harry once again pulled his wife in his arms and kissed her tenderly with all the love he felt
for her. They both turned towards the gathering. Everyone in the church was applauding for them.
Harry smiled at his wife and said "I Love You".

"I love you too Harry." Hermione said, she kissed him again forgetting everyone else
in the world.
