Arranged Marriage

Wedding Arguments

Harry’s POV

At this moment he was at Grimmauld Place, his home, with Pansy Parkinson. They were, to his dismay, discussing wedding plans and currently, they were agreeing on nothing. He had always wanted a simple wedding with only the closest people to him attending. Apparently, his dream wedding wasn’t about to get realised.

“Harry, I want the wedding to take place in May, two months from now to be exact!”, yelled Pansy. They had been arguing about the date for more than an hour. Pansy wanted the wedding to take place in May while Harry wanted the wedding to take place in April, a month from now.

“Why do you hate May so much?!”, yelled Pansy. Harry didn’t hate May but he didn’t think it was the right time for a wedding. The climate starts to get hot in May and people wouldn’t enjoy themselves that much.

Not that he cared about weither some of the invited people enjoyed themselves or not. He had talked to Pansy about his wish to invite only the people close to them and she had had the nerve to laugh in his face. “We can’t invite only the people close to us! We wouldn’t be known like that. There wouldn’t be any gossip about our wedding. Besides, don’t you think it would be a waste for the ‘Boy Who Lived’ to have that small a wedding?”, she had said.

He had to admit that he had gotten a little angry at that comment. “Doesn’t the ‘Boy Who Lived’ get some peace?”, he thought. “There’s no way I’m going to invite journalists from the Daily Prophet to cover my wedding. I still don’t trust them after that Voldemort fiasco during fifth year. If I have to invite journalists to cover the wedding, I’ll invite Luna and her dad and they can publish everything on the Quibbler. I was inviting them anyway.”

He finally got tired of arguing so agreed to have the wedding in May on the condition that they only invited the people close to them and that the Quibbler got to cover the wedding.

He saw Pansy about to refuse but she closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, “Fine, we do the wedding in May and I’ll agree to those conditions.”

“Pleasure doing business with you”, joked Harry ignoring the glare Pansy sent him.

Draco’s POV

“I swear we never argued this much, not even at Hogwarts!”, he thought. Draco and Hermione were currently at a small coffe shop in Diagon Alley discussing wedding plans. “She’s so bossy! I’m starting to think that she’s the only one getting married with the way she’s behaving as if I’m not here!”

“Granger… I mean Hermione… I’m right here you know? If you’re going to keep acting as if I’m not here tell me so I’ll just leave”, he said to her.

“Is there something bothering you?”, she asked. He tried looking at her as if she were dumb and apparently it worked because she glared at him. “Yes, there is something wrong actually”, he started. “How about the fact that we’ve been here for an hour and you’re just choosing stuff for the wedding without once asking my opinion. I’m getting married too you know!”, he yelled.

He saw Hermione blush and felt smug that he had made her see reason. “Sorry Draco, I just want the wedding to be nice even if we don’t want it. Might make this Law easier.”

He understood her, really, he did. But he still didn’t think it fair. The Law would be easier for her not for him since he didn’t choose a thing. The one time she asked for his opinion she called his idea stupid and they had argued like mad afterwards. “Would you mind if we did this together? Because the way you’re doing it, you’re the only one that will enjoy the wedding”, he said.
