"Get that hair fixed!"
"Did you get your makeup on?"
"That's too much."
There was a whirlwind of women, with the occasional frightened male, putting makeup on, doing hair, and getting the final touched n their dresses. In the center of the tornado of hair products and lipstick was a young woman with dark red hair and wearing a pair of white with silver trim dress robes staring at herself in a mirror. She was shaking and as she tried to apply some blush to her face, a hand quickly snatched it away and did it for her. The woman in question was Lily Potter, and she was getting married today to Scorpius Malfoy.
"Okay everyone, we need to get out there and in our lines. The ceremony starts in twelve minutes." Lily's mother, Ginny Potter, announced to the room. The bridesmaids and others quickly hurried out to get in their queues for walking down the aisle, leaving Lily in the room with Ginny.
"How are you, Bug?" Ginny asked, taking the seat opposite Lily's. Lily nodded half-heartedly. Ginny knew she was lying of course. Her daughter had never gone so long without talking.
"Tell the truth."
"I'm fine, mum. Just a bit nervous." Lily answered as she brought her hand up to her face, which was still shaking.
"You can tell me anything, Lily. I'm here for you."
"It's just, just, so stressful. I've been planning this wedding for a year, but there was never enough time to really sit down and think about what happens after words. But now, I've finally just, well, been really thinking about being together for the rest of our lives. I know we've been together for a long time already, but well, I don't know what I'm talking about." Lily said, her voice trembling. She was still looking at herself in the mirror.
She was right about her and Scorpius being together for a long time. She was fourteen when they started going out, and she was twenty-three now. Except for the first year that Lily had been at school and Scorpius hadn't they had been a couple the whole time.
"It's normal to be nervous Lilykins. I was, and so was your dad. Everyone feels that way." Ginny said, stroking her daughter's face.
"I know. But if something happens, I know I'd be lost without Scor."
"I know, baby. But today is not to worry about that, it's about celebration." Lily smiled and her face relaxed slightly.
"You're right."
"I always am." Lily laughed for the first time that day. "And I'm positive that we need to get out there right now. Don't want to look like a runaway bride."
Here's the last chapter for this story! I wanted it out of the way while I worked on Catching the Bug (which everyone should check out and review!) Hope you've enjoyed this story, because you're the reason I write these stories. Thanks again for reading and reviewing!
