Hermione isn't sure whether or not it's simply because she's been bit by the wedding bug, but seeing the happy couples who have come to enjoy the ceremony, Hermione can't help but wonder if she'll see some of her own friends happily take to the altar in time. She doesn't know Emmett all that well yet, but Hermione can easily picture the couple happily enjoying their own wedding.

Maybe she really is projecting.

But more than anything, the ceremony feels like it's imbued with hope, and like it's opening the doors for many friendships to come. Smiling brightly, Hermione waves as she crosses Emmett's path, taking a small detour away from her original path.

"Emmett, hi," she greets, tilting her head graciously. "I'm so glad that you could make the ceremony, and I hope you and Elle are enjoying yourselves."
