Fifteen minutes until the ceremony begins

Cassie came out of the tent where the bride was doing the finishing touches. As she arrived at the venue, she saw Enasni and Fred. Seeing the two together always made Cassie's stomach turn and though she always tried to ignore it, she failed... horribly. The way they would look at each other made Cassie feel like Fred was under some spell.

Zach sighed, patting her back and they headed inside. He was watching Enasni, arms crossed, stern. He swore to himself that his words had gotten through to Fred. When he gestured for him to check on Cassie, he was about to go, until Enasni stopped him from going. From what Zach knew about Cassie, he wanted her to have the happiest life because that was ripped away from her in her childhood.

"Hey," said Jack, taking a seat beside them.

"What are you doing here?" Cassie snarled, glaring at him.

"Working," he answered. "I'm on the lookout for anything suspicious."

"The only thing that's suspicious is Enasni snogging Fred outside," said Alicia Spinnet, joining them in the row behind. "Honestly, the ceremony is starting soon and Fred has to walk down the aisle."

"What the bloody hell is she here for?" they heard Seamus Finnigan say to Dean Thomas.

"How are you?" Alicia asked her, making Cassie confused. She didn't know why Alicia was talking to her. She couldn't remember the last time she talked to Alicia, but Cassie bet that she had insulted her the last time they spoke. "It's not just Seamus. It's almost every Gryffindor— "

"Which is basically the majority of the place," Cassie interjected. "I'm doing quite great, actually. I love when people talk about me."

Alicia frowned and started looking around, then found Andromeda in the crowd. "At least you're not the only Slytherin? Andromeda is here."

Cassie rolled her eyes, looking down, saying, "No one remembers that because she did something great — married a muggleborn and betrayed her family. I practically sacrificed myself for all of you and nothing... "

"You were quite a bitch, no offense," Alicia reasoned.

"Potter can be a bitch and none of you see that," Cassie thought to herself.

"Why are you talking to me?" Cassie asked, unconsciously giving her a slight glare.

"Angie said so," Alicia replied, crossing her arms. "You've still got your rudeness."

"You're still sensitive," Cassie remarked.

"I think everyone's checked in," said Jack, looking at the entrance. "Ceremony will be starting soon."

Slow and sweet music began to play, the attendees coming to a silence. The last few people had found their seats. The marriage officiant stood at the front. Then, Ron came out and stood at the altar, a goofy smile on his face. Harry was following him, standing beside him as his best man, grinning for his best friends were finally getting married.

Then, bridesmaids and groomsmen entered. Fleur walked in with Bill. Cassie couldn't believe how good Fleur looked after just having given birth not too long ago. She guessed it was the Veela in her. Luna walked elegantly, a small skip in her steps. Neville walked down the aisle with her, a smile on his face. Angelina walked in with George and Fred.

Cassie stared, a small feeling inside of her building. It wasn't jealousy. Sometimes when she would see Fred, Cassie would wonder what she would be doing if she were still with him. They walked past and Cassie met Enasni's eyes. Then, she gave a wicked smile, making Cassie turn away, uncomfortable.
