I rolled over and from my sleep heard a distant sound of chimes. Today was the day. Then I opened my eyes. The little bedroom I was staying in was beautiful and I smelled all the French pastries from the Patisserie downstairs. Every second the thought of the church and ceremony drew nearer.
Then I heard footsteps running up the stairs. I knew I had to get used to that sound when the little ones came along. Just then Ginny, Pansy, and a very pregnant Luna came in the door. Knowing I was going to be that big after tonight terrified me but also made me excited. Draco and I could test for gender then.
G: Hello Miss Bride. How do you feel?
H: Well a little queasy but that could be the baby. But, I'm overall excited to get Draco off the market.
And with that I was thrown into a whole new world; Pampering. Molly and Rosalind were all over me with German chocolate and champagne as they did my hair and tightened my dress. After it was all in place Rosalind, my practical mother in law, came over.
R: Now my child, I have two things to say to you. You are not only beautiful but intelligent. Remember today is about you and my son showing the world the love you have for each other. Keep your chin up, smile. And I have a gift for you.
Then she pulled out a diamond snake covered in emerald and all sorts of precious gems.
R: My sister and I both had one, however as time passed she was stripped of it. Ginny bears one and you the sister. I place it on your back and it become emblazoned in your skin. This isn't a representation of Slytherin but a family heirloom so there is no doubt you are a part of us.
I turned and she placed it in my back and I was ready just as Hagrid entered.
Hag: My girl oh how you have grown up.
H: Thank you for being here today.
Hag: I'm your dad love.
Hagrid had adopted me for all legal reasons after my parents died and I couldn't be happier.
Ginny popped in the room in her dress and told us it was time to go.
Then before I knew it I was walking down the aisle. My eyes were fixed on the man waiting for me. He was crying, but he looked so thrilled. As I reached him I smirked.
H: Is that a tear I see?
D: You are so beautiful.
Minister: I understand you both have written vows.
D: Hermione, my love. I thought when writing my vows about wordplay or jokes or stories. However I consistently landed on a list of promises we made to each other.
I smiled as we both readied to repeat them from the night we got engaged.
D: I promise to respect you.
H: And I to earn your respect
D: I promise to be your competitor.
H: And I to never fear an argument.
D: I promise to stay with you because
H: Not in spite of
D: I promise to learn from you.
H: And I from you.
D: The truth is that Emmy, as many ways I could say it I love you. I love the way your eyes sparkle while you are learning or how you fall asleep with coffee in your hands. I love you because of your confidence and determination. But I love you because you make me the best person Could possibly be.
I started to cry.
H: Draco I love you for all you just said and so much more. You will always challenge me, but us is whats real. I hope to with you by my side teach our kids French and Charms and how to unconditionally love and respect each other. I will be overjoyed if we spend the rest of our lives together.
