Harry and Susan were there too, of course, though they were preparing to leave in order to meet with their wedding planner who, it turned out, was Daphne. Susan had decided, in a move that had surprised no one but Hermione, that she and Harry were going to have a second, much smaller, wedding ceremony at Nott Manor, a full two weeks before their larger ceremony. It would be the only way for Hermione to attend and, according to Susan, she wanted "her first wedding" to be a small, quiet affair and not the monstrous and stiff thing it was sure to be with half the Wizarding world invited to watch the Chosen One get married. A nervous Susan had told Hermione all of this in a rush, hand gripping Harry's tightly with a rather concerned look on her face. As though she expected Hermione to rebuff her, to tell her not to bother. Instead, Hermione had risen on shaky legs (which were shaky due to an overabundance of emotion instead of weakness, for once) and pulled her into a fierce hug that had been returned after only a moment's hesitation, Harry smiling widely from beside them.
