The brunette female stared at herself in the three large mirrors. He long, slender fingers ran along the white, silk dress on her body.
Her gold, silk clad, red headed friend gave a smile as she stepped to the side of her. "Hermione, you look so beautiful," Ginny said.
Hermione smiled too. "Thank you, Ginny." I'm so nervous." She looked back at Luna, who was fixing the veil on Hermione's head.
Luna smiled as well as she finished fixing the piece of transparent silk. "Ron's so lucky. All the guys at Hogwarts wanted to be with you." She stepped back and patted her sapphire bridesmaid gown.
Hermione turned around to face her all her bridesmaids, all dress in same style, House coloed dresses. Ginny, Luna, Lavender, Susan, and even Pansy Parkinson. The Gryffindor female and Slytherin female became good friends after Harry and Draco made a truce when they graduated.
Pansy gave a pug-like smile as she stood from the small stool she had been sitting on. "Your wedding is going to be amazing. I hate to admit it, but it might be better than mine. I'm envious."
The Gryffindor female laughed. "Don't let Goyle hear you say that. He worked very hard to make your wedding perfect for you."
The other bridesmaids laughed as well. Pansy and Goyle were married a year ago, shocking everyone. All of Hogwarts thought that the unseperatable couple of Draco and Pansy would have married after school but Pansy had taken a liking to Goyle after Draco told her he wasn't in love with her.
There was a knock on the door and Harry's head poked into the room. "Five minutes, ladies."
The bridesmans proceded to file out of the room, knowing it would be best to take their places out in the chapel.
Ginny placed her hand on Hermione's shoulder. "See you in a little bit." She watched Hermione nod then left the room, taking Harry with her.
Hermione looked back at her three reflections and couldn't help but to grin.
Suddenly, the door slowly opened behind her. "Did you forget something, Ginny?" she asked, turning around.
It wasn't Ginny coming in, it was Ron, her groom. He was dressed in a black tuxedo but it was missing the coat and it was also dirty and torn, like he had gotten into a messy fight with someone.
"Ron, what are you doing in here! It's bad lick to see the bride before the wedding." She was glad to see him, it calmed her nerves a little, but she still was curious as to why he was in such bad shape five minutes before their wedding.
His eyes stayed on the floor and his voice was soaked in coldness. "The wedding is off. I have to leave," he said.
She stepped down from her platform. "W-what?"
He took a deep breath. "I have to go.
"I'll go with you then," she said, her voice almost choaking on the sobs she was holding back.
"No." He shook his head. "I don't want you."
"Y-you don't want me?" she whimpered softly, tears stinging in her eyes.
"No..." He turned to the door, his hand on the doorknob.
"Don't do this, Ron," she called out.
His back still to her, he responded, "I don't have a choice." He walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him.
Hermione stood, wide-eyed for a few moments, then slowly exited the room as well. She reached the entrance of the chapel, she could hear thunder lightly rubbling outside. Harry was standing in his spot, holding her bouquet, ready to walk her down the aisle.
"Hermione!" he choaked, "I-It's not time."
"It'll never be time...never...," she mumbled, walking past Harry and into the chapel.
Everyone turned and stood up for the bride. Draco Malfoy, who was sitting in the back row, stood up as well, but he knew something was wrong. Hermione's face was full of sorrow, she had no bouquet, Harry wasn't walking with her, and Ron hadn't even taken his place to meet her at the end of her long walk.
Ginny's mouth dropped open and she tried to hold back her tears, she also knew something was wrong.
By the time, Hermione made it to Professor McGonagall, who was the priest, by herself, everyone could tell this wedding was over before it really could begin.
"Miss Granger, where's your groom?" McGonagall asked.
Hermione turned and faced her guests. "The wedding is off. Ron is gone."
Mrs. Weasley gasped. "Gone! What do you mean 'gone'!"
Harry walked into the chapel. "Ron didn't want to marry Hermione. He left her, and everyone here. He's leaving for good."
Mr. Weasley spoke, "How long had he been planning this? If it was way before the wedding, he could have saved the trouble of everyone coming here just to see Hermione's heart be broken."
Harry walked slowly up the aisle as he spoke, "He came to a few minutes ago, after he came from Hermione's room, and told me he couldn't go through with this. It would have killed him." It hurt Harry to say it, but he knew it had to be said.
The chapel boomed with voices, all complaining, wanting to know exactly what was going on.
"I'm sorry, Mione," Harry said, placing his hand on Hermione shoulder.
"I'm sorry too," she softly sobbed before pulled out of Harry's grasp and running down the aisle and out of the chapel.
"Hermione!" Almost everyone shouted after her, no one daring to follow, figuring it was best not to. Fred and the bridesmaids were going to but were stopped by Harry.
"She needs time," he told them.
No one saw a familiar blonde head sneak out, after the young woman.
Hermione was running to nowhere in particular, but found herself running through the forest outside of the chapel, sobbing and cursing at Ron. Even the sky was crying for her, large drops of the sky's tears were falling on her, soaking her to the bone. It was also shouting, using it's thunder to curse at the man who broke her heart.
She had not run that long and her legs gave out underneath her, tripping her into the mud. Her pure white, wedding dress was now torn and completely dirty. She pulled herself onto her knees, slamming her hands onto the ground. "Why, Ron! Why! Why! Why? Why did you leave me! What did I do to deserve this!" She placed her face in her hands and sobbed.
"Get up, Granger," a cold voice ordered her. She could here the voice's owner walking up behind her.
She pulled her wand from it's hiding place in her dress and pointed it at her follower. "Shut your mouth, Malfoy! You don't know anything!” she shouted.
He stared at the wand with no fear. While they were still in school, he was scared of having her wand pointed at him but since graduation, he grew up, a mere piece of wood no longer scared him. “I don’t know anything?” He cocked his eye brow at the sobbing girl. “The one you loved didn’t love you back? I know this like the back of my hand. How the hell do you think I felt when Pansy left me for Goyle?” He tried to hold his voice down. He didn’t need to lose his temper with her.
Hermione stared at him angrily, her wand shaking in her hand. Her eyes slowly dropped along with her wand. ”I’m….sorry…I never knew you cared so deeply for Pansy…. I always thought-“
“Thought what! That she was always just a fling! A daily snog!” His voice was rising, he was getting very angry at her. “How da-“ He stopped himself, biting his tongue. He came out here to help her not yell at her about his problems. “It doesn’t matter though. You need to get up and face everything. Keep going with life. You can’t left your life stop just because Weasley is a bloody idiot.”
“Don’t talk about him like that!” she shouted. “Ron is not an idiot!”
Draco slightly rolled his eyes and ran a hand through his soaked, blonde hair. “Alright. Alright. Will you just get up already?” He held out his hand to help her up.
She still didn’t want to accept the fact that Ron didn’t love her but she was willing to start on the path to accepting. She reached out and grabbed the blonde’s hand, who, in one strong pull, brought her onto her feet as if she was a simple feather.
He ran his hand over the rips in her muddy dress. “You’re a mess, Granger.”
Though what he said was rude, it didn’t keep a smile from painting on her beautiful, dirty face. “I’m just going to pretend you didn’t say that, Malfoy.” She brought her hand to her eyes and wiped away her tears. She really was going to try to heal after this horrible event. Things were already looking better.
Draco gave her a weird look. “Ugh. Why are you staring at me?”
Hermione gave a slight laugh. “No reason, no reason.”
