Momentary Oblivion

Hermione Granger’s wedding ceremony is gorgeous. It’s the social event of the season. Everyone is there - their families, closest friends, farthest friends, workplace acquaintances, celebrities, reporters for every newspaper and magazine. The groom’s mother is beaming proudly.

If anyone notices the bride disappearing for nearly half an hour after the ceremony and returning looking harried with her makeup smudged, nobody comments on it.
