An Unwanted Marriage, But An Unexpected Love

An Unwanted Marriage, But An Unexpected Love


Barty and Sirius silently nodded to each other, indicating all was well, as they met up outside, their respective wives holding onto their arms. The quartet walked towards the lake talking quietly, where everyone was waiting for them.

Hermione asked Sara-Jane as they continued onwards. “So, were you cornered as well?” Sara-Jane nodded and replied “Yeah, I was.” Hermione nodded and sighed. She then added “What about hexed bouquets?” Sara-Jane smirked and replied “Yeah, and that to.”

Barty commented “Hopefully your insecurities have now been cleared up.” He added dryly “And of course, when you know of Bellatrix and her less then sane antics you tend to feel the need to make sure your wife is not the same. Especially when said wife is caught waving her wand over her floral arrangement, muttering Merlin knows what at the same time.”

Sirius laughed, before adding “I hope so. I didn’t go saying all of that mushy crap, no matter how true it was, just for you to go a head and be even more insecure. And no, I agree with Midnight, no bloody shit batty, crazy wife, hexing her bouquet for me.”

Sara-Jane scoffed rolling her eyes, as she commented “Ha, and here I was thinking my husband at least had one single romantic bone in his body. And if you’d like, I’ll hex something for you, but it sure as hell won’t be bloody flowers.”

Sirius rolled his eyes, as Barty and Hermione started sniggering, as he retorted “Look, I am not usually that mushy, even though what I said was genuinely true and what I think and feel. Just don’t expect me to pour out my heart at every single opportunity.”

Sara-Jane snorted, and quipped in reply “Of course not, that would be asking far too much, you are after all only male, it is to be expected. Although, I will ask this of you, which is to at least make somewhat of an effort on my birthday and Valentines day, nothing more and nothing less.”

Sirius rolled his eyes and replied, just as they reached everyone else “Ok, fine, two days out of the year I’ll willingly bring out all of the mushy crap.” Sara-Jane snorted and shook her head.

Hermione commented, as she affectionately squeezed Barty’s arm “Thank Merlin I chose Barty instead of Sirius. I definitely married the right Marauder.” Barty laughed at this, and kissed her on the forehead, while Sirius mocked glowered at her.

Sara-Jane asked as they stopped in front of Remus, Harry, along with Ginny, Tonks, Ron and Blaise. “Wait a minute, you mean Sirius was one of the suitors on your list?” Hermione nodded “Yeah. Every male you saw in that room, except for Fudge, they were my four chosen suitors.”

She added “Meaning if I hadn’t known about Barty having a twin, I would have believed him to have been the guilty one. And as for Snape, if I hadn’t been aware of what he was like in the first place, then I could’ve very well end up being Mrs. Snape, and not Crouch.”

Sara-Jane shot Hermione a look of pure revulsion and horror, followed by sympathy. She then turned back to her husband, before placing a kiss on his mouth, then pulled away, saying “In that case, feel free to be unromantic as you like. I’ll take you and your lack of romance over Snape any day, thank you very much.”

Barty, Remus, Harry and Ron cracked up laughing, while Hermione, Ginny, Tonks and Blaise giggled hysterically. Sirius yelped “I should bloody well think so as well; this is Snivellus we’re talking about here.”

This only caused the others to laugh even harder, with Sara-Jane joining them, while Sirius sniffed indignantly. He grumbled “Coming on you lot, let’s not keep the photographers and the others waiting for us.

As soon as they reached the first photographer, he had Barty and Hermione stand side by side, with Remus on Barty’s side, with Ginny on Hermione’s side, before he took the photo.

He repeated the same process with Sirius and Sara-Jane, only Harry was at Sirius side, and Blaise at Sara-Jane’s other side, before taking the photo.

He then got the two brides and grooms, along with the wedding party, and both fathers and mothers of the bride, along with Arthur and Molly. Once he had them all positioned how he wanted them, he took the photo.

Next he took a dozen photos of just Barty and Hermione on their own, either kissing and cuddling, or beaming at the camera. A second photographer was doing the same with Sirius and Sara-Jane.

The first photographer then took pictures of the two brides and grooms together, and some with all four of them in the picture, and others with just the grooms or the brides. Even a couple with just Hermione and Sirius in, or Barty and Sara-Jane.

The second photographer took four pictures of Harry and Ginny, followed by Remus and Tonks, Ron and Blaise, Arthur and Molly, as well as Stephanie and Ryan, and Jack and Gwendolyn.

And finally Bill and Fleur, and a couple of Charlie and Gabriella, even though Charlie and Gabriella weren’t a couple or had any intentions of being one, they were still partnered together at the wedding.

The second photographer took several photos of just Barty, Remus and Sirius, the original and only remaining Marauders. Then Harry, Ron, and all of the other Weasley men, Jack and Ryan joined the photos.

The second photographer was doing the same with Hermione and Sara-Jane, who had their picture taken with Ginny, Tonks, Blaise, Fleur, Gabriella, Stephanie, Gwendolyn and Molly.

Then the first took pictures with Harry, Ginny, Remus and Blaise in the pictures. They were photos that just featured the two best men and maids of honour.

He then gathered all of the brides’ maids and maids of honour took a couple of pictures of them together, before doing the same with the best men and the groomsmen.

The final pictures to be taken were of Hermione and Barty with her parents, and Sirius and Sara-Jane with her own parents, before both Brides Grooms and the parents all stood for several pictures together. Even Arthur and Molly were asked to appear in a couple of them.

After all the pictures had been taken, everyone was lead to the room of Requirement for the reception.
