weddings

Rose was surprisingly calm. Everyone around her was panicking, but she was calm. It was the day after Christmas, which she spent with her whole family, so it was finally time for her wedding.

"Rose, please stop eating!" Hermione pleaded. "You're walking down the aisle in two hours."

"Chill, Mione," Rose said. "We have plenty of time."

"Two hours is not plenty of time!" Fleur exclaimed from the corner of the room where she was doing her makeup. Rose ended us asking Hermione, Ginny, Luna and Fleur to be her bridesmaids, and they were all ecstatic.

"Rose, please just stop eating so I can do your makeup," Marlene requested. Rose groaned but put down her chips and sat in front of her mum, who immediately started applying products.

"This is the exact opposite of how I was on my wedding day," Lily noted as she curled her red hair. "I couldn't wait to get ready to walk down the aisle."

"You were a bridezilla," Marlene told her. Lily just shrugged and started eating the rest of Rose's chips.

"How are you not more nervous?" Ginny asked.

"Probably the nargles," Luna said dreamily as she opened a random book. Since they had such a big yard, Harry and Rose decided to get married there instead of paying for a venue. The girls were getting ready there while the guys were getting ready at the Burrow.

"I don't have a reason to he nervous," Rose said with a shrug. "The only people who are going to be there are my closest friends and family. Plus, it's not like I have a question of if Harry is my soulmate. Worrying will just ruin the day."

"Ron just sent me a patronus, and he says that Harry is panicking," Hermione said. "He keeps saying he's not good enough for you."

"He's not wrong," Ginny snorted, causing everyone to gasp at her. "What? You know it's true."

"Don't make me tell Molly," Marlene warned. Ginny just shrugged and continued to do her makeup.

"Don't worry. I fully support the relationship," Ginny said.

"I just hope your wedding day goes a lot better than mine," Fleur said with a heavy sigh.

"Me too," Rose said. "I don't fancy being taken by Death Eaters again."

"Well, we made sure to put extra protective spells around the house and yard, so no Death Eater is getting in," Marlene said reassuringly.

"Speaking of extra protection, where's Tonks?" Ginny asked.

"She had to slap Harry," Hermione said calmly, as if it was the most normal thing to say. Everyone paused to look at her with concern on their faces. "He wouldn't calm down about the wedding, so she slapped him. She'll be here soon."

"Poor Harry," Rose sighed. "I'm never letting him live this down."

"Where did you decide on going for your honeymoon?" Fleur asked.

"I saw so many wonderful animals in the mountains," Luna said. "I could tell you where I found them if you want to see them too."

"Thank you, Luna, but we already have plans," Rose said politely. Luna just hummed and started swaying to music only she could hear. "We're going to visit France, actually. We've both always wanted to go and they have everything. We can go to the city or the countryside, mountain or beaches. It's perfect."

"I miss France," Fleur sighed wistfully. "Shell Cottage is wonderful, but it has nothing on my home in France."

"Maybe you can visit us and we can have a double date somewhere in France," Rose suggested.
