The next day, Hermione had taken off from work so as to start planning the fast approaching wedding. She and Luna were frantically searching through catalogs looking at invitations, color schemes, and bridesmaids' dresses when there was a knock at the door. Hermione went to answer it and was thoroughly shocked to see Ginny standing on the other side.

"Hello Hermione," The redhead said with obvious embarrassment.

"Hi Gin," she said, nervously tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Well, come in. Luna and I were just looking at some catalogs." The two girls walked inside, and Luna was unfazed to see Ginny.

Standing up, the blond said, "I'll just go check on the gnomes in the garden. See if they have any gifts for me today." The other two girls laughed at her conveniently relevant, for her, departure.

"I needed to talk to you Hermione. I feel bad about making you leave during our last conversation, and I didn't want to lose your friendship forever. Draco made me realize how important you were in my life."

"You're important to me too Ginny."

"Besides, who else could I go to, to dish about my date with Draco?!?"

"Spill," Hermione said, grabbing the teapot and sitting down for a nice long chat. Eventually Luna rejoined them, and they spent the better part of 3 hours talking and looking through the wedding catalogs.

When Harry arrived home from work with Ron and Draco, whom he had invited for drinks, all three men were surprised to see the girls together. Awkwardly, in stereo, the men said, "Er, hi honey."

The three girls giggled in unison, easing the tension in the room. Harry went over to Hermione, and after giving her a soft kiss, quietly asked, "Are we ok here?" She simply smiled at him, and gave him another kiss.

The three couples spent the night playing exploding snap and drinking butterbeer. By the time the night was over, everything was completely normal between the friends. They made plans to create a special night once a month to all get together, which would continue after the honeymoon. On her way out, Ginny grabbed Hermione into a bear hug, signifying both that they were ok, and that Ginny was sloshed.

A week later, Harry stood by the altar twitching nervously. He knew that this was what he wanted, and he was completely ready for the commitment, but he was a little concerned that Hermione would leave him. Ron could feel Harry lightly shaking and gave him a pat on the back. Harry smiled at his best man. "Don't worry mate, Hermione would never leave you. She's barmy about you."

Just as Harry was about to respond, the doors at the back of the Great Hall opened, and Luna, floated through the doors and up the aisle. Harry smiled at her as she took her place on the other side of the altar. Then the doors at the back of the hall opened again, and Ginny walked through. After a moment, all of the guests stood as Here comes the Bride started to play. Hermione walked through the doors on the arm of her father. Harry caught his breath as he looked at his beautiful bride.

Her pure white dress was a simple strapless gown with an a-line skirt. She wore a beautiful emerald necklace and earring set in remembrance of Harry's mum, who had worn the jewelry on her own wedding day. She had a beautiful lace veil that covered her face, but it came only to her shoulders. Once Hermione's dad placed her hands in Harry's, Harry whispered, "You look beautiful. I'm the luckiest man in the world. I love you."

The ceremony would later be described as the most beautiful wedding in decades. It was said that the brighter the flash of light after the couple was announced, the truer the love. The flash after Harry and Hermione, matched the flash of his parents, and nearly blinded everyone at the ceremony. But the couple didn't notice, because they were so caught up in each other. Harry couldn't believe that this beautiful woman standing in front of him was his wife, his wife! He pulled her close to him and dipped her down for a kiss.

They came back up to the applause of all their guests. After they walked down the aisle, followed by Ron, Luna, Ginny, and Draco, Harry waved his wand and the room was transformed for the reception. Harry led his bride up to the head table and they got ready for a night of fun. After all of the toasts, Harry led Hermione out for their first dance. Everyone that saw them knew that they would be together forever.
