Chapter 13 : The wedding

hey, yay it's on time! I'm in my nan's at the moment so be proud. The stories about half way through now and I hope to be finishing soon but for now, enjoy c:

"I adjusted the tie on my suit, looking into the mirror as I also fixed the collar of my white shirt. I had on my black tux with a white shirt underneath, my hair actually combed for one.

I looked in the mirror and smiled at myself. I seemed much younger today, less stress marks, more sleep. I don't know how I managed it but I was suddenly sleeping well again.

I heard someone at the door clear their throat and I turned around to see Remus standing at the door of the room.

We were in Grimmauld Place, Remus and I. Godric knows where Tonks and Ariel had chosen to get changed.

Remus wore a gray suit, a red tie and a white shirt. His hair was tidy which was even more of a shock than my own being tidied. And for once his clothes looked brand new, not like he had just spent the night rolling around in the ditch.

"Hey there," he said, smiling at me. I smiled back, a bit of light coming into my eyes. I felt like I was back at Lily and James' wedding. We were both all dressed up and happy. It was like nothing had changed, like everything was still the same.

"Hey, are you ready for this, Moony?" I asked him. It felt good to use our old nicknames, as though we were just out of Hogwarts again.

"I'm ready, Padfoot," He said, taking in a gulp of air as sat down. "You know, I always thought on my wedding day I'd be one of those people who start freaking out and regretting their decision, wishing they could just go back to being boyfriend and girlfriend but I'm not. I'm really not. I'm excited, I'm just so damned excited."

"Well that's a good sign, I suppose. Let's just hope that Tonks shares your views," I joked, laughing to myself. But I instantly regretted what I had said the minute Remus' expression turned to one of worry. He looked up at me, eyes wide.

"I never thought about that. What if she is? What if she doesn't want to marry me anymore? What if she thinks this was all a mistake?" Remus suddenly burst out, asking questions about almost everything. I rolled my eyes and gave his shoulder a good slap.

"Remus, calm yourself. Tonks is probably in that room, wherever it is, getting ready and looking forward to the best day of her life with the guy she loves. I was joking, Moony, I thought you could always take a joke."

"Yeah but not jokes that reminded me of certain things," Remus said, sighing into his hands as I looked down at him. I rolled my eyes and let out a huff as I sat on the chair next to him.

The whole room was much more clean than it had been this time two years ago which I supposed was fine since there were actually two humans living in here.

I remembered back to a few days ago when Ariel had ran out of here after I kissed her, not a word said. She had acted as though I were some kind of monster. As though the very thought of kissing me appalled her.

And that honestly hurt me.

I wanted to go back to the Hogwarts days, when I could just stare at Ariel all day and no one suspected a thing since she was my friend. She didn't hate my guts back then, she didn't want to kill me back then, she didn't think I was a complete twat back then.

I really wish that I could go back to then.

"Remus, what happened between Ariel and I? What changed so much that we can't even stand to be in the same room for over five seconds together. What caused the little snippy comments to start? What freaking happened, please do tell me, because it confuses me like heck and I really don't even know how to handle it," I admitted. Remus looked down at me and he also let out a sigh as he looked up at the plain ceiling of the house.
