Chapter 14
Hermione glanced at her reflection in the mirror. "It's perfect," she mumbled appreciatively. "Thank you all so much."
Ginny had done her hair. The two of them had argued about the style a bit, but eventually decided they would leave it down. Ginny had worked some magic, calming Hermione's wild curls. Her hair now fell down her back in beautiful waves. Ginny had added some small pearls and flowers to her hair, giving her an ethereal look.
Her Mum had done her make-up. Hermione never really wore much, so her Mum only added some light blush, mascara, and some red lipstick.
"Hermione, dear, for your something borrowed, I'd like you to wear this." Minerva handed Hermione an old, lace garter.
"Professor, er, Minerva, I can't wear that!" Hermione protested.
"I insist," Minerva said, pressing the delicate material into Hermione's hand. "It was handed down to me from my mother for my marriage. That did not work out for me in that regard, but I want it to work out for you. Wear it, please?"
Hermione nodded. She handed the garter to Ginny, who bunched up Hermione's skirt and slid the garter up her leg.
"And I've gotten you something blue," Ginny said happily. "Well, it's technically from Luna, Harry, Ron, and me, but I've picked it out. The four of us pitched in and got you this." She handed Hermione a small box.
Hermione opened it, gasping. Inside was a sapphire tennis bracelet. "This is beautiful," she whispered. She quickly hugged both Luna and Ginny. "Thank you so much."
Ginny beamed. "I'm glad you like it."
"Like it? I love it!" Hermione cried. "Thank you." She shook her head, trying to hold back the tears.
"And I have something new from your fiancé," Molly Weasley said, bustling forward. She handed Hermione the box.
Opening it, Hermione saw a delicate pearl necklace with matching earrings. "How lovely," she said, admiring the set. "Molly, would you help me put them on?"
Molly, who was now crying, nodded. She gently picked up the necklace, clasping it around Hermione's neck. Hermione put in the pearl earrings. Looking in the mirror, she smiled.
"You look beautiful, dear," Nancy said, smiling. "And now, for your something old." She helped out a vintage silk ribbon. "This ribbon was tied around my bouquet, my mother's, and my grandmother's. I'm giving it now to you to tie around your own bouquet, with the hopes that someday you'll pass this on to your daughter."
Hermione nodded, tears welling in her eyes. She knew that the silk ribbon was a family heirloom and it felt like her heart would burst.
"Thank you, Mum," she said, hugging her mother tightly. "Thank you so much."
Nancy smiled. She tied the light grey ribbon around Hermione's bouquet, which was a handful of daisies. "Perfect."
Hermione took the daises into her hands. Minerva placed the veil on her head, adjusting it so it was just right.
"Well, I think I'm ready." She turned and faced all her friends and family. Ginny and Luna were wearing their bridesmaid dresses. Her Mum was wearing a pencil skirt and a blazer while Molly and Minerva wore dress robes.
"Come on, dear, let's go."
Minerva cast a spell over the group so no one would see their small procession. She didn't want any students finding out just yet. It wouldn't matter later today but she knew Hermione would like the privacy.
Hermione was quiet as the group made their way to the Room of Requirement. No one else spoke as well. There wasn't much one could say in this situation.
The emotions inside of Hermione swirled around like a raging storm. Every step filled her both with excitement and dread. As mad as she was with the situation, she couldn't help but be eager. A girl only got married once and her future husband was attractive.
"Here we are," Minerva said once they reached their destination. She paced back and forth three times and stepped back, watching as the doorway appeared. "In we go."
The group entered the Room of Requirement.
Hermione let out a small gasp. She wasn't sure what she expected when she entered the room but it certainly wasn't this. It looked like they were in a garden or some sort of greenhouse. There were plants and flowers everywhere, giving off a slight aroma. The ceiling was charmed to look like the sky, much like the Great Hall did sometime. It was beautiful.
There was a small group of people assembled, about twenty if she ventured a guess. They were all seated, but turned to look when the small party entered. Sirius stood at the end of the aisle by Kingsley and Remus. Hermione had to keep from laughing when she noticed he had un-glamoured his black eye. He grinned at her when their eyes met.
Soft music started to play as her father appeared by her side.
"I don't like this," he whispered to her.
Hermione gave a small shrug. "I don't either, Dad, but Sirius is a good man."
A smug look appeared on David Granger's face.
Hermione opened her mouth to scold her father about hitting Sirius, but he shushed her. "Be quiet, ducky, it's almost our turn."
She glanced ahead and saw her Mum, Molly, and Minerva had already taken their seats. Luna and Ginny were walking along the aisle ahead of her. Gulping, Hermione sent her father a panicked look.
"Don't worry, I've got you," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion.
Hermione nodded, blinking back tears. Her father tightened his grip on her arm, almost as if he was afraid she'd fall.
Slowly, the two of them began to walk down the aisle. Many people had looks of admiration and wonder on their face. She tried not to look at them; her gaze was locked onto Sirius, who looked like he might be sick at any moment.
Gulping, Hermione tried to breathe. She was starting to feel dizzy and it wouldn't be right to pass out halfway down the aisle.
"Steady, ducky," her father whispered.
Hermione nodded, quickening her pace. She just wanted to reach the end of the aisle.
Eventually the two of them did. David kissed his daughter's cheek before placing Hermione's hand into Sirius'. Turning, he took a seat next to Nancy.
Hermione glanced up at Kingsley nervously. He tried to give her a reassuring smile but failed. It looked more like a grimace.
Sirius squeezed her hands, drawing her gaze back to him. You look beautiful, he mouthed. She blushed.
"We are gathered here to celebrate the union between a witch and wizard. Before we may begin, Sirius, I ask that you formally give Hermione a proposition."
Sirius reached into his pocket and handed Hermione the piece of paper. She knew immediately what it was. It was a formal request for her hand in marriage. It laid out the terms of their arrangement and the terms stated by the marriage law. Shakily, Hermione signed the bottom, accepting his proposal. She handed it to Kingsley, who charmed the paper. It would now fly to the Ministry of Magic and be filed. The two of them would be married before anyone could protest the union.
"Now we may begin," Kingsley stated. "Is there anyone here who protests this union? If so, speak now or hold your peace."
Thankfully, no one spoke out.
"We are gathered here today to bear witness to the union of Sirius Orion Black and Hermione Jean Granger. We join in our support of them as they offer themselves to each other. As an expression of your willingness to totally commit yourself to one another, I invite you to face each other and join hands."
Sirius reached out and took Hermione's hands. He held them gently between his own.
"Sirius, you may read your vows."
Sirius pulled out a small note-card. He cleared his throat, his eyes dancing around nervously.
"Hermione, I vow to put you before myself at all times. I vow to honor you as my wife and my partner for life. For every hard time we endure, I want to endure it with you. For every good memory we make, I want to endure it with you. I want to bless you with all that I have and serve you in every way that I can. This I promise."
Hermione looked into his grey eyes, stunned by the amount of emotion there. She felt a tear roll down her cheek.
"Hermione," Kingsley said gently. "You may read your vows."
Nodding, she cleared her throat. Ginny handed her the small note-card.
"I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness, and to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they are not, to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home."
Sirius smiled at her. He reached out and took her hand. "This ring is a symbol of my promise. Wear it always."
"I will," Hermione said softly. She watched as Sirius slid the gold band onto her finger. Turning to Ginny, she took Sirius' ring. "This ring is a symbol of my promise. Wear it always."
"I will," Sirius replied. Hermione slid the band onto his finger.
"May you both be blessed with happiness, prosperity, and peace. May you carry onward in your journeys, drawing from each other's strengths and covering each other's weakness. May you express poise, patience, and understanding with each other. May your lives blend together in harmony and joy and may your days be good and long upon this earth." He paused. "By the power vested in me from the Ministry of Magic, I now pronounce you husband and wife." He smiled at them both. "You may now kiss the bride."
Hermione leaned forward, feeling apprehensive. Sirius, sensing her nerves, took control. He closed the distance between them and gently kissed her. The kiss was over in a second, but it was enough to seal their bond. The magic swirled around them, uniting them for all eternity.
Kingsley raised his hands. "I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Sirius Orion Black."
Ginny handed Hermione her bouquet. Sirius quickly escorted her down the aisle, followed by Ginny, Luna, and Remus.
