My Best Friend's Bride

It was the last journey from the Hogwarts Express. Harry Potter, a fresh graduate from Hogwarts, was thinking of how to propose to Hermione Granger. He had never told her that he loved her since their sixth year. He took the wedding ring, which he had got for Hermione at Hogsmede, from his pocket and headed for the compartment. He froze the moment he entered because in front of his eyes Ron Weasley, his best friend, had proposed to Hermione and a blushing Hermione had accepted it. They saw Harry and broke the news to him. Harry in spite of his feelings smiled because he didn't want his best friends to think anything he was thinking at the moment. When they reached platform nine and three quarters, King Cross Station, Harry got out a little shaken from the train. He wanted to get out of the station as fast as he could. But Mrs.Weasley stopped and hugged him and just then Ron and Hermione came and broke the news to her. Mrs.Weasely shocked at first accepted the news enthusiastically afterwards. Harry taking the full advantage of the time escaped quickly from there where he was met by his Uncle Vernon.

It was the starting of July that Harry received N.E.W.T results along with a letter from Ron. First Harry opened his N.E.W.T result and saw that he had done well then he opened Ron's letter and read:

Dear Harry,

How are you? This is so exciting, planning my wedding I mean. Mom is going mad because Ginny keeps complaining that she hasn't got enough dresses. Anyway, we are picking you up tomorrow at 5 and you are my Best man at the wedding.

Bye,

Ron

PS: Don't mention Percy in front of Mom, I'll tell you the reason when you get here.

Invitation? Best man? These words swirled in Harry's mind and smashed his heart to pieces. First he thought that he wouldn't go but then they will know as he couldn't make an excuse good enough to skip his best friends wedding. And what is this not to mention Percy in front of Mrs.Weasley because as far as Harry remembered everything had been fine because Fudge had seen Voldemort with his own eyes and had told the whole ministry and newspapers. Anyway he had more important things to think about. He stood up and wrote back a letter to Ron saying:

Dear Ron,

Hey that's great news and thanks. I'll be there mate.

Harry

The shortest note he had ever written to Ron. His heart tore at the thought of seeing Hermione as someone else's wife, infact his best friend's wife. And with these restless thoughts Harry went to an uneasy sleep wishing he'd die in it.
