"You're really getting married," Elle says, briefly touching Hermione's cheek before she takes her hands. She's already expressed how happy she is for her friend before, but it's hard to keep from saying it again, at the risk of repeating herself. There's just nothing like knowing someone's found love to make the world seem so much more beautiful than it already is. Lovely, clever, tenacious Hermione deserves every bit of it.

She laughs and takes a step back to look her over, lifting her hand to spin Hermione. "And I'll tell you something, Ron is the luckiest man in Darrow. When he sees you, he is gonna faint dead away."
