I felt the sudden urge to try writing one of these.

"Smile, Hermione, smile," Hermione chanted to herself as she stood in front of the full-length mirror. She was under terrible stress caused by the events of the last few weeks, but none of it showed on her face. That was completely thanks to the spa treatments she had endured yesterday. On the outside she looked like the elegant and beautiful bride she was meant to be, but on the inside she was a total wreck.
"Oh!" gasped the woman who would soon be Hermione's mother-in-law, "You are so beautiful." she said, wiping tears from her eyes. "My son is the luckiest man in the world. Now if only I could find him and show him how lovely you look."
"I'm sure he's somewhere around here – oh!" Hermione yelped as she stepped down from the platform in front of the mirror, she lost her footing and almost fell. If someone hadn't caught her on time, then she'd have broken an ankle, and the wedding would be postponed for a few more days. But what's the use prolonging the inevitable? She agreed to do this, had given her word.
"Thank you," she said, keeping her gaze at the strong arms wrapped around her waist.
"You've got to be more careful, Hermione," said her groom, "I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you."
"Marry someone else." Hermione mumbled, staring at the ground. She didn't want to see his stupid, teasing smirk.
"Not getting cold feet are we?" Her future husband muttered in her ear so that his mother couldn't hear him.
"You wish." Hermione muttered back, elbowing his hard abs as she pulled away.
Draco grunted in false pain. "Well these violent tendencies of yours cease once we're married?" He teased Hermione once his mother left the room, leaving the two alone.
"You know it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony." stated Hermione, ignoring his question.
"I know I'm going to regret this, but why?"
"Because...well, it's tradition. You see marriages were arranged by family members. The newlyweds rarely were allowed to see one another. The family members exchanging a dowry were afraid that if the groom didn't like the appearance of the bride's face, he might refuse to marry her. This is why the father of the bride 'gave the bride away' to the groom at the actual wedding ceremony. Only after lifting her veil just prior to the ceremony did the groom see the bride's face for the first time." said Hermione as she adjusted the pearl edge white veil that was held on her hair with a silver comb.
"At least Muggles have a choice. I heard my forefathers had to marry even if the brides looked like trolls."
Hermione huffed. When she turned around, she crashed into Draco's chest and nearly fell but he wrapped his arms around her once again.
With their chest pressed together, Hermione and Draco were able to feel their hearts beating in a rapid pace until they were synchronized. Two pair of eyes staring at each other with hidden meaning. An invisible pull was felt deep within, bring them closer. Closer and closer they came, until their lips met...
What was she doing? Hermione thought as she opened her eyes and broke free from Draco's lips. Panting, she took a step away from him.
Draco cleared his throat, seeming as if he was about to say something but changed his mind and left the room without a second glance back.

The walk down the aisle was a blur of faces, even her father's was unrecognizable. Hermione couldn't focus her vision on anything but, Draco, the man standing a few feet away from her. She didn't know how but she managed to reach him without falling flat on her face. Blinking several times, she realized that she was standing in front of the priest and a room filled with guest. The priest began his speech, but Hermione was not listening. She was trying her best to look happy about this marriage, but she wasn't. Her hands were shaking, her body trembling. She felt like she was going to vomit any minute. Suddenly, without warning Draco took her hands and kissed her.
It felt right...
Which it shouldn't...
It felt good...
Which it shouldn't...
Which it shouldn't...
Which it shouldn't...
When the kiss was over Hermione's brain began to see reason. All that had happened. The events that had occurred.
My god...What have I done? Thought Hermione. What am I doing?
She looked at Draco for answers, but he gave her a sympathetic look as if he understood what she was feeling.
He pulled her close. "Thank you." he whispered, his gaze moving toward his mother. The only person who was truly overjoyed about this wedding. Narcissa Malfoy, Hermione's mother-in-law. The woman who started all this...
