Robyn Hill, Ottery St. Catchpole

On a small hill five miles from the Burrow, sat a three-bedroom bungalow. It was covered in ivy, and had a small vegetable patch in the back garden.

Being mid-November, the weather had turned cold and the occupants of the house were currently curled up in front the small fireplace in the living room.

Luna was checking over a list that Hermione had sent to her. She was ticking off the things that she had packed and organised for her daughters' wedding the next day.

Hermione had offered to take care of the wedding details, but before leaving the pub two days before, Luna had made it clear that it was her only daughters' wedding and that she wanted to look after the few details that Hogwarts could not deal with.

She had owled the family and invited them all to the wedding. She had carefully cleaned hers and Ron's dress robes, although the few words she had managed to get from Ron indicated that he was adamant he was not going to the wedding.

There was only one thing left to do. Luna had visited the Lovegood vault at Gringotts that day. Her father did not have much in there. A small pile of gold made from his sales of the now infamous Quibbler and a few rare magical items that he was sure held great power, although Ron had said on many occasion that it was just a pile of junk.

The one item that Luna wanted from the vault was hanging on the back wall. Luna's mothers wedding dress, simple yet elegant would be perfect for her daughter, once a few adjustments had been made.

Luna left Ron sulking in the living room and took her sewing kit into the bedroom. Beautiful as the dress was it was still a little old fashioned. Luna decided to remove the sleeves and change the neckline a little to suit her daughter's slim figure and took to the task for the evening.

….

Hogwarts

Alice was sitting in the Gryffindor common room. It was the night before her wedding and she had been physically removed from Anthony's presence by Jessica and Olivia; "You're not supposed to see each other before the wedding" Jessica had annoyingly reminded her as she dragged her up to Gryffindor tower.

She had received a letter from her mum that morning, telling her not to worry and that everything in regards to the wedding was under control.

In turn she worried more because her mum's idea of everything being under control meant she would probably end up walking down the aisle naked with invisible creatures flying around her head.

Brandon still hadn't spoken to her since their explosive conversation in the Room of requirement. This was another thing making her feel very unhappy this evening. She hated not talking to her twin and in the space of three weeks they had fought twice.

Alice got up and without saying anything to anyone, went up to the girls' dormitory. She needed to be alone.

Unfortunately there was no such luck tonight. Anita Finnigan and Angelica Thomas were sitting on Anita's bed talking about their latest family gossip. Being that their mothers were twins they looked very similar however Anita was much lighter skinned than Angelica.

"What's up with you? You look like you were just told that Voldermort was back!" Anita said upon seeing Alice.

"Well that's not funny in the slightest thank you very much Anita and nothing is wrong with me" Alice snapped.

Voldermort had been dead for eighteen years and people seemed to either forget or not realise just how bad things had gotten...how many people had lost their lives.

"I was only asking, relax" Anita huffed.

"Maybe you've forgotten that your father fought in the final battle but I certainly haven't" Alice snapped again.

"Ok Ok, bad joke, sorry. What's the matter?" Anita asked real concern in her voice this time.

"I might as well tell you, the whole school will know after tomorrow" Alice said taking a deep breath, "I'm pregnant and Anthony and I are getting married tomorrow"

There was a joint squeak from the opposite bed and two very excited girls squished Alice in a hug.

"Oh Merlin Alice, you're really having a baby! This is great!" Angelica squeaked in Alice's ear.

"Okay guys, squashing me probably isn't a good thing" Alice raised her voice to be heard over the squeaking.

"Oh, right, yeah" the girls said, removing themselves from Alice and spreading out on the bed.

"So…details!" Anita said, almost vibrating with excitement.

So Alice sat and explained, what the school had insisted on and what she knew about the wedding the next day.

….

Malfoy Manor

It was Saturday morning and Hermione was running around trying to get herself and Annabelle ready for the wedding. Draco was having breakfast with his mother who had come back from her holiday early to attend the wedding.

Hermione dressed Annabelle in a pretty purple muggle-style bridesmaids dress and herself in matching purple dress robes.

She tied Annabelle's curly blonde hair up with little strands falling around her face and warned her not to get dirty.

She then took her youngest down to the foyer of the manor and called for Draco and Narcissa.

They came out of the dining hall already dressed, Draco in his standard black dress robes and Narcissa in her signature green.

Draco picked up Annabelle before apparating as, if he only held her hand there would be a chance she would accidentally let go.

The foursome apparated out of the foyer to the front gate of the school.

….

Hogwarts

"Ello there young 'ermione" came Hagrid's voice, he was opening the gate to allow them entrance to the grounds.

"Hello Hagrid. I'm not so sure you can call me young anymore you know, in eight months I'll be a grandmother" Hermione said, placing a kiss on his cheek, he had to bend for her, something Annabelle found very funny.

"ah this mus' be young Annabelle, why haven't I met you ye' little lady?" he said shaking her little hand with one of his massive ones.

"Mummy said I couldn't come to school yet, I'm not big enough" Annabelle said, staring up in awe of the half giant as Draco put her down.

Hagrid nodded to Draco and Narcissa, he still hadn't forgotten all the bad things that happened in the war and still reminded Hermione that he would happily crush Draco if he hurt her every time he saw her.

They walked up to the school, Annabelle after a little bit of wining, up on Hagrid's shoulders and were met by Professor McGonagall.

"Well you are the first to arrive" Professor McGonagall informed them.

"Oh, Luna isn't here yet?" Hermione asked. It figured that she would be late. That's why Hermione had dug her old beaded bag out and filled it with wedding essentials, just in case. Professor McGonagall shook her head.

"Professor, where is Anthony" Draco asked after getting Annabelle down from Hagrid's shoulders.

"He's in the Slytherin dormitories, I assume getting ready. Alice is in Gryffindor tower doing the same. If you'd like to go and see him I can take you down there. Hagrid will be going back down to the gate to allow entrance to the rest of your families" the professor informed them.

Hagrid nodded to everyone and left, and then the group followed Professor McGonagall to the dungeons.

Professor McGonagall whispered the password to the portrait guarding the entrance to the Slytherin common room and left after the portrait swung open.

"Why is everyone just standing around?" Annabelle piped up "I want Anthony to see my pretty dress" she said told them and walked straight through the opening the portrait had revealed.

Narcissa laughed, "She certainly takes after you Draco. Doing exactly what she wants when she wants" Narcissa continued to quietly chuckle and followed her granddaughter.

Hermione took a deep breath and took Draco's hand "come on, lets get this show on the road"

They went into the stone common room and found BJ and Olivia, dressed for the occasion in green and silver.

"Ah here's our Best Man, how are you BJ?" Hermione said, receiving a kiss on the cheek from both of Blaise's children.

"I'm fine Hermione thank you" BJ answered, turning towards the boy's dormitories "would you like to come and see Anthony?"

"No, thank you, actually his father is going to go and see him" Hermione said, receiving a kiss on the cheek from Draco as he followed BJ down to the room he spent many years in.

Draco entered and found Anthony struggling with his tie.

"Here, let me" Draco said, spinning Anthony gently by the shoulder and doing his tie up for him.

"Thank you father" Anthony's hands were shaking.

He wanted to marry Alice. If she hadn't gotten pregnant he would've asked her to marry him at the end of school anyway, but he was still really nervous.

"It's normal to be nervous son. Your mother never knew but I was petrified walking up to the Room of Requirement for our wedding" Draco told him, patting him on the shoulder.

"Father, I'm sorry about how this all happened. I never really got to say it before. But I want to marry Alice, I wanted to before I knew she was pregnant and I already love the baby" Anthony sincerely told his father, rather grateful that BJ had left the room again.

Malfoy's aren't supposed to show emotions after all. Anthony always felt lucky that he knew his father better than the rest of the world and could always go to him just like he could his mother.

"I know son. I'm not happy that Alice is pregnant, and I'm not happy that you're getting married so young. I can never explain the relief I felt for you and your sisters when the Marriage Law was repealed, but I know that you love her and I know that you will look after her" Draco took a breath "I won't lose my son over this"

"Come on then son, let's go and get you married" Draco clapped Anthony on the shoulder and led the way from the room.

…

Up in Gryffindor tower, Luna had just walked in along with Mrs. Weasley. She was taken up to the dormitories where Alice was waiting to finish getting ready.

Alice was nervous, not only about the fact that she was getting married and having a baby. She was worried about what her mother had planned. Although her grandmother being there meant the practical side of things would somewhat be under control.

"Hello mum, gran" she said, before her eyes zoomed to the garment bag in her mothers arms.

"Oh sweetheart don't you look beautiful" Mrs. Weasley said, she took Alice's hand to get her to stand. Alice was in her robe, not wanting her mother or grandmother seeing her wedding underwear. Her hair was half up in a French twist, the other half allowed to flow in its natural curls down her back.

Her make up was very natural and basic, mainly mascara and lip gloss, and some blush to keep her cheeks rosy, hiding how the nerves were making her white as a ghost.

Now all she needed was the dress.

Luna walked over and gave Alice a kiss on the cheek and a hug before handing her the garment bag.

"Dad downstairs?" Alice asked.

Luna and Mrs. Weasley looked at each other, unsure how to tell Alice that Ron was in fact at home sulking.

"No dear he's not. I'm afraid he isn't coming today" Mrs. Weasley told her gently.

Alice's eyes began to tear up immediately, "Oh"

Alice took the dress and went behind a screen. They heard a gasp from behind the screen and Luna hoped that it was a good one.

Alice came out a few moments later. She was wearing a floor length white gown. A V-neckline, which gathered around the breast and had diamante detailing under the neckline.

"It was my mothers, but I altered it a little bit to suit you" Luna told her only daughter.

"It's perfect" Alice answered. It wasn't necessary to say anything else.

After a few finishing touches here and there it was time to go.

"Dad's really not coming?" Alice asked, as they were about to leave the room and go down to the common room.

"I'm sorry love, no" Luna answered.

"Who is going to give me away?" Alice asked, although her voice was struggling around the frog in her throat.

"Well most of the family is here, anyone you like" Mrs. Weasley answered.

"Do you think grandpa would do it?" Alice asked, wiping her tears from under her eyes.

"I'd love to" they heard from the bottom of the stairs, where Mr. Weasley was standing looking up at his granddaughter, awe in his eyes.

"You look beautiful my darling girl" he said as she descended the stairs.

"Thanks grandpa"

They entered the common room to find most of the family, just like Mrs. Weasley had said.

George and Pansy were there along with they're two youngest, four years olds Toby and Sidney. Fred and Christopher were standing with them also, Francesca between them and under Pansy's watchful eye, as she had already caught Fred with a Weasley Wildfire Whiz-bang and was not happy with either of her eldest sons or her husband.

Her uncle Charlie had come over from Romania, a surprise to everyone, as it had been very short notice for him to come from the dragon reservation in Romania.

Brandon was stood with their other grandfather, Xenophilius Lovegood, who was wearing bright pink robes and an odd-looking bowler hat on his head.

Ginny and Harry were there with little Lily and were standing with James, Albus and Jessica.

Percy was there with his wife Audrey and their sons Luke and Robert.

"Your uncle Bill and Aunt Fleur couldn't make it from France but they sent there congratulations and a gift" Mrs. Weasley whispered to Alice.

"I can't believe you're all here" Alice said, fresh tears coming to her eyes, although these were of the happy kind.

"Well now enough of this" Mr. Weasley said, we have a wedding to get to.

….

The Room of Requirement

The Malfoy family along with BJ, Olivia and Ellie Weasley were all sitting on lawn chairs inside a marquee. The room had obviously decided that a sunny outside wedding suited the occasion much to everyone's amusement and Annabelle's complete confusion.

Hermione tried to explain that the room was using its special magic to make it like that but the little three year old couldn't get her head around walking into a room and ending up outside.

The door to the room opened and all the Weasley's and Potter's, bar Alice and Arthur Weasley entered and took their seats.

A ministry official stood at the front. Hermione quickly stood and walked over to Luna, "Please tell me that Ron is out there with her"

Luna just shook her head.

Hermione's shoulders dropped and she went back to her seat.

….

Outside the room of requirement Alice was checking her dress one last time.

"Are you ready sweetheart?" Mr. Weasley asked.

Alice nodded.

He reached for the door handle but a hand on his shoulder stopped him.

"I think that's my job dad, but thanks all the same"

"Daddy!" Alice squealed, almost throwing herself at her father before remembering her wedding dress.

"I'm sorry love. I can't believe I almost missed giving you away. Even if it is to that boy"

"Well done son" Mr. Weasley clapped his youngest son on the shoulder before going into the room without Alice.

"I'm so glad you're here daddy" Alice whispered, taking his arm.

"I'm still not happy Alice, but Hermione said something to me and she was right, so let me do this one thing and walk you down the aisle and we can work on the rest later" Ron said, and after receiving a watery smile and a nod, walked his daughter into her wedding, down the aisle and watched as she became Mrs. Alice Hermione Malfoy.
