An Unwanted Marriage, But An Unexpected Love

An Unwanted Marriage, But An Unexpected Love


Mrs. Weasley shook her head in disapproval, as she watched Hermione, Ginny, and Sara-Jane clutch their heads and moan in pain. Blaise on the other hand was emptying her stomach into the nearest toilet. Fleur was no better off. She now knew that muggle wine did not sit well with her in the least.

Tonks and Stephanie were taking hang over potions, and handing the other girls one each. Gabriella grimaced and wrinkled her nose in disgust, and declared she was glad she had been drinking butter beer after all.

Once the girls were sober and hangover free, the house elves cook up a storm in the kitchen, much to Hermione’s disapproval. And just like the men, the girls and women ate enough to feed an army.

It seemed there was something in the potions ingredients that made you hungry once you had taken said potion, and your hangover and up set stomach were cured.

Once everyone was satisfied that they had eaten enough, Ginny reveal their plan as to how everyone would be able to shower, with only four bathrooms but with ten of them.

Ginny explained “I’ll use the bathroom in the master suit, which will be mine and Harry’s room when we marry after Hogwarts.” She went on “Hermione can use the bathroom down the hall. Tonks and Blaise can use the bathrooms on the second floor.”

At their nods she went on “After I’m finished Sara-Jane can take the bathroom. Stephanie can use the bathroom when Hermione is finished.

Mum can use the bathroom once Blaise is finished. And after Tonks is done, Gwendolyn can use the bathroom. Then Fleur followed by Gabriella.”

They all nodded and headed up stairs to get ready. Hermione decided to use the large claw sunk in bath tub, deciding she was not in the mood for the shower, and wanted to lay back and soak for half and hour or so after she had washed her hair.

She wanted to relax, as today was her eighteenth birthday after all. She intended to enjoy it. She knew she would, she knew Barty would see to that, he had promised her.

At one found the girls and women at Hogwarts, in the Gryffindor tower. They all had their hair and make up done; they just needed to get dressed.

Fleur had straightened and then coiled and pinned, Hermione’s hair on top of her head. Then a then carefully placed a golden tiara, with a delicate floral pattern made of tiny pearls and white rhinestones weaved together, on top of her head, which covered her something new tradition.

She wore a silver coloured necklace that had clear/blue Austrian crystals, with matching earrings. They belong to her mother, and covered the something blue and borrowed traditions.

Barty had sent to her his mother’s 14k White Gold Diamond & Pink Sapphire Bracelet. That she used to wear, and never removed when she had been alive. It covered her some thing old tradition.

Tonks had done hers and Sara-Jane’s makeup. Hermione’s, face, forehead, and neck had been dusted in mid creamy powder. Her cheek bones had been dusted in a dusky pink colour, giving them at slight rosy glow.

Tonks had used a white shadow on her upper eye lids. She had lightly dusted the white shadow, not wanting to make it too overpowering. And for her lower lids, she dusted them with a light bronze coloured shadow.

A mid brown eye liner was applied to her lower lids in a thin line. And a lighter brown pencil was added under eyes, mixed with a little brown and subtle white shadow. Her lovely long lashes were curled with extra volume mascara in black.

And finally her lips were out lined in a light rose coloured lip pencil, and was followed by a darker rose coloured lip stick, with a clear strawberry flavoured lip gloss, to make her lips shine and appear even fuller.

Fleur had decided Sara-Jane had agreed, that her hair would look lovely pinned half up and half down in large barrel curls. Sara-Jane had realised her veil would have not been suitable for an upswept style.

So her hair had been placed large barrel curls, and half of her it had been pinned back with tiny hair grips, that had blue rhinestones on them, which covered the some thing blue tradition. And the rest of her hair was left to flow down to her spine.

Tonks had dusted her face, forehead, along with her neck in a very pale peach toned powder. Her cheek bones with dusted with a dusky peach colour. While her upper eye lids were dusted with a white shadow and her lower lids were dusted with a pastel blue colour, to bring out her green eyes.

A mid navy eye liner was applied to her lower lids, followed by a light blue eye liner underneath her eyes, and was blended in with a little white eye shadow. Her long lashes were curled with black mascara.

And finally her lips were out lined in a light pink colour and a slightly darker shade of pink lips stick was applied, finally followed by a clear raspberry flavoured lip gloss, giving her the perfect shine and pout.

She wore her grandmothers (On her mother’s side of the family) beautiful choker around her neck with matching earrings, made of Lilac and clear crystals. And she wore her grandmother’s (On her father’s side of the family) solid silver bracelet that had white circular diamonds and deep midnight sapphires.

Ginny on the other hand had her hair put in a French twist, with a few strands that had been placed in light bouncy barrel curls to frame her face. A few tiny white roses had been pinned randomly at the back of her head.

Ginny wore a matching necklace and earrings set. The necklace was a platinum chain that had diamonds and rubies on the end. The earrings matched. She also wore a 1/2 Carat Diamond and Ruby Tennis Bracelet in White Gold. Harry had given them to her for her birthday.

Her forehead, face and neck were dusted with a pale creamy powder. Her cheek bones were dusted with a nude coloured blush. And she had applied a skin coloured shadow to her upper eye lids, while her lower lids were dusted with a pastel mint green shadow.

She had carefully applied an eye pencil in a slightly darker shade of green to her lower lids. Underneath her eyes a light green eye pencil was applied, carefully and lightly blended in with a little white shadow. She curled her long lashes in black mascara, to give extra volume to make her eyes seem larger and fuller.

And finally her lips were out lined in a light baby pink lip pencil and a lip stick in a darker shade of the same colour was applied, followed by a clear cherry flavoured lip gloss, making her lips sparkle prettily.

The different shades of green complimented her fiery red hair beautifully. Even Hermione and Sara-Jane were slightly envious of her stunning red Maine, which enabled her to carry off all shades of green beautifully. Although she did point out to them, that she could only wear rubies, and not the actual colour red, like they were able to.

Blaise’s hair had been done in spiral curls, and half of it was pinned up with hair grips with tiny white roses. The rest was left to flow down her back in soft dark brown spirals.

She had white diamond hoop earrings, made of platinum, in her ears. They were a gift from her mother the previous Christmas, not long after her father was killed during a death eater raid, by one of the Aurors.

She was also wearing a platinum necklace with a trio of diamonds on the end, which had been a Christmas present from her grandmother (On her mother’s side of the family).

Also Sirius had gifted Ron with some precious platinum and small circular diamonds. Then he had practiced the spell for over a two month, required to make jewellery from raw materials. He managed to make a platinum tennis bracelet, with small white circular diamonds all the way around.

Her makeup was in a similar tone to Ginny’s, only her eye shadow was a light pastel pink and white. Her lips with a light red colour with clear strawberry gloss.

Fleur and Gabriella had placed their hair in a complex looking bun with a few curled strands to frame their faces, with a hair grip on either side of their head with little white roses on them.

Their make up was similar to Hermione’s, but with Smokey coloured shadow with a pale glossy peach coloured lip stick and gloss. Fleur’s was slightly darker then Gabriella’s, due to her being the older and more mature sister.

They both wore matching golden necklaces, which had an emerald shaped teardrop on the end, with tiny white diamonds all around. Their earrings also matched their necklaces. They had been gifts from their parents.

And they wore simple golden bracelet that had small square emeralds and even smaller white diamonds. It was simple design, but you could easily tell it was expensive. It had been a gift from their aunt and uncle. (On their father’s side of the family)

Tonks had allowed her natural appearance to show for the wedding. Her dark blue eyes were dusted with pale blue and white eye shadow, and her lashes were curled and given more volume with black mascara.

Her lips had been painted a dark blood red colour with a clear vanilla gloss, making them look fuller and more noticeable. She had the perfect pout.

Her Long rave hair was placed in a French twist. Tiny white and blue roses had been placed randomly in her hair. She was wearing a necklace and earrings set, made of silver with clear crystals.

She also wore a platinum bracelet. That had white diamonds with pink oval shaped diamonds. Harry had given Remus the materials to work with, and produce a beautiful bracelet for Tonks.

The material had come from the Potter family fault. It was his engagement present to Remus and Tonks. Remus had been reluctant to accept at first, but Harry soon wore him down.

Harry insisted he deserved them, as if it hadn’t been for him during his third year, when he taught him how to produce a fully corporal Patronus, then he would have had his soul sucked out by a dementor by now.

Mrs. Weasley wore natural colours. She curled her hair and left it to flow freely in bouncing curls around her shoulders. She wore simple pearl stud earrings and a necklace.

Mrs Granger wore slightly darker colours then Mrs Weasley. Her makeup was natural, except for the scarlet lipstick and liner. Her hair golden brown hair, just like Hermione’s, was placed in a pleat at the back of her head. She wore the same earrings and necklace as Mrs. Weasley.

Stephanie looked lovely with a braided bun at the back of her head. With make up that consisted of pale browns and peach tones, with a little crème. She decided to wear the necklace her husband had given to her on their ten year anniversary.

It was a pure golden chain that had a medium sized pink heart shaped sapphire on the end with white diamonds. It was a stunning piece of jewellery.

She also wore a pair of pink sapphire princes cut stud earrings. They were such a stunning shade of pink. (AN: I hate pink, but the character doesn’t)

Twenty minutes before the ceremony was due to begin, they all slipped into their gowns. Hermione’s mother helped her into her gown. It was a simple, but stunning creation, and Hermione looked immensely beautiful in it.

The gown consisted of a shirred bodice down the front, trimmed with embroidered beaded lace. Spaghetti straps crisscrossed down the back into the shirred bodice trimmed with buttons. The trumpet skirt was plain with a chapel train.

Hermione then slipped into a pair of white open toe shoes, made of Satin, which had a 3 ½” heel. She knew her feet would be killing her by the time she was due to remove them at the end of the evening.

And finally a bottom length veil was pinned behind her head, left to flow downwards freely, followed by a white garter with baby blue lacy, which her mother rolled up her leg, until it reached her mid thigh. Then her mother handed her the bouquet she had chosen in the florist.

Sara-Jane smiled at her mother, as she helped her into her gown. It was a pure white strapless gown with beading and platinum coloured embroidery along the neckline and Basque waist. The skirt has overlapped layers of organza, and is decorated with scattered beadwork.

She allowed her mother to pin the flowing veil that reached her bottom, to the back of her head. She stood still as her mother straightened the vale out so it wasn’t all crumpled at the bottom.

She then stepped into a pair of white satin strapped shoes, which had a 3 1/2" heel. She also thought the same as Hermione, her feet would be screaming in protest by the time the shoes were due to be removed again.

Finally her mother handed her the bouquet she had chosen at the florist. Once she had helped her roll a garter with baby pink lace up her mid thigh.

Then mother and daughter shared a smile, and a few words of comfort and encouragement. A few tears were shed in the process. This was it; Sara-Jane was taking one of the final steps into adulthood. The next and final step would be motherhood, but that hopefully wouldn’t happen for a couple of years yet.

Meanwhile Ginny was straightening out the bow on her gown. It was a floor length, pale blue strapless A-line BELSOIE Supreme Satin gown. BELSOIE Supreme Satin was gathered on bodice, with a white colour band that tied into a bow at the waist.

Half of her back was bared. The back of the gown resembled a halter neck. She paired the gown with a pair of white Silk Satin shoes that had a small strap across the front of the shoe. There were tiny little white stones all around the small buckle. And to finish there was a 3" heel.

Ginny then went and collected her chosen posie, after checking her appearance one last time in the nearby full-length mirror. She nodded silently to herself, wondering what Harry would think of her current appearance.

Tonks, Fleur’s and Gabriella wore the same gown and shoes as Ginny. They each carried their own posies of choice. Each woman, or Gabriella’s case girl, took in their appearance.

The others eyed Ginny, and smiled slightly. Tonks commented “Harry is not going to know what hit him, as soon as he sees you.” Fleur and Gabriella nodded in agreement. Gabriella could finally see why Harry Potter chose her. She was really beautiful.

Mrs. Weasley entered the room dressed in a chcolate coloured Chiffon, full-length gown with an empire bodice and a beaded trim. It had a sweet heart neckline, with elbow length sleeves that flare slightly at the cuff. The skirt was a princess line. And their was a chocolate Bolero jacket, which had ¾ sleeves, with matching beaded satin cuffs.

She wore shoes made of white Satin that had a 1 1/2" heel. She also wore skin coloured nylons. She had a red rose pinned to her jacket. She looked lovely and elegant.

Mrs Granger Wore an Iridescent Taffeta two piece suit, which was a long dress, with a waist length jacket. There was two buttons on the jacket, with coordinating beaded trim on the waist. It was wine coloured. She had a white rose pinned to the lapel of the jacket.

She also wore a pair of white Satin shoes, which had a 2 5/8" heel. And skin coloured nylons. She looked a picture of elegance. Hermione thought her mother loved stunning.

Stephanie wore an ice blue coloured Chiffon gown with a beaded empire bodice. A fit and flare skirt. Matching beaded bolero jacket. The dress underneath the jacket had spaghetti straps

She paired the dress and jacket with a pair of white Silk Satin shoes that had a 3" heel. She completed the whole assemble, with skin coloured nylons. She also had a beautiful pink rose pinned to her jacket.
