"Hermione, how did we end up in this bloody mess? I love you, but I don't want to marry you!"

Hermione looked at the pacing redhead and huffed. "We told your mother if we weren't seeing anyone seriously, we would marry each other in five years the last time she asked and now our five years are up! You should have known she'd have a wedding all ready to go!"

Ron sat down on Hermione's sofa and put his head in his hands. "I-I just can't disappoint her, Hermione. Not after her reaction to Harry and Ginny telling her they weren't getting married."

Hermione knelt down next to her best friend and ran her fingers through his hair. "We can't do this, Ron. We will end up living separate lives or worse, and then what?"

Suddenly a voice rang out from the kitchen. "Well, Hermione, you could just run away. Then Mrs. Weasley doesn't blame Ron and once she calms down, then you could explain it to her."

Ron looked at Hermione pleadingly. "Please, Hermione?"

Hermione stood up and started to pace. "Where am I supposed to run, Ron? Luna? Harry? Anyone? I can't just hide out forever, I have a life!"

Harry chuckled, after he entered the room holding Luna's hand. "No, you don't. You have a job you hate, Dolores Umbridge convinced the Unspeakables you were, well, Unspeakable, and you feel trapped. That is why I said to run."

"I have a better idea, Hermione," said Luna.

Hermione shook her head, then shrugged and plopped back down on the sofa next to Ron. "Anything has to be better than this. Tell me your plan, Luna."

Hermione took a deep breath and walked slowly toward Ron, who was waiting for her at the altar under the bower that Molly had created in the backyard of the Burrow. "The whole thing is beautiful, too bad I really can't appreciate it," she thought to herself. "Oh, good, there it is!"

Luna's entire plan revolved around a talisman Bill and Fleur had brought back from a curse-breaking trip they had taken together prior to Victoire's birth. They had said they were told it was meant to enhance true love. Luna had pulled out an old grimoire of her mother's which showed the talisman and said that it was meant to send one to their true love.

"Let's hope Mrs. Lovegood was as good a witch as everyone says she was," Hermione muttered under her breath. She reached the altar, then instead of taking Ron's hand, as everyone was expecting, picked up the talisman, and touching it with her wand, clearly stated "Khadhani 'iilaa habiyi alhaqiqi!"

Everyone stared as Hermione suddenly disappeared in a swirl of magic.

Severus Snape was in his lab in the basement of his home, when his wards were triggered. He grabbed his wand and walked slowly up his stairs, hugging the wall, suspicious of anyone Magical who might have found him.

He was amazed to see a witch in her wedding gown, looking through the books in his library. But it was not just any witch, that hair was unmistakeable. "Miss Granger, how in bloody blazes did you find me?"

Hermione jumped and spun, wand out at the first sound. Then the words registered. "Professor Snape!"

To Severus's surprise, she immediately sat down and put her head in her hands. "Miss Granger, do I take your actions to mean that you did not mean to pop yourself to my home?"

"I don't know where you live! No, I most certainly didn't mean to pop myself to you, of all people."

Severus drew himself up, visibly offended. "I beg your pardon?"
