"I think I had the benefit of watching... well," Hermione offers a bit of an apologetic look. While Kate seems perfectly happy with her fiance and has clearly moved on from Harry, the mention of him might still be a little awkward. "Watching one of my best friends get married first. Harry and Ginny were pretty eager to get to the altar. I think the war was sobering for all of us."

Hermione's lips quirk at the corner. In a way, Hermione's glad that she and Ron have a bit of distance between those tumultuous times and their wedding now. What's transpired doesn't have to be what colors their ceremony the most.

"And it's been wonderful for the two of them, so it makes it a little easier to imagine myself in that same position. I guess. It's still definitely strange, being the one in the dress, but that doesn't change the fact that we know it's the right step."
