Man in the Mirror
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Chapter 15
The Chapel looked absolutely perfect. Two Christmas trees stood at the front of the church on either side of pulpit. Holly adorned the ends of pews along the aisle. A simple illusion of snow wafting gently down from the ceiling added a sense of Christmas calm to the venue. Despite the obvious kurfufflel.
"No bloody way Kay!" Karry said to her older sister who stood before her in a very short, very tight red dress that pushed her large bosom almost right out of her neck line.
"Why not?" Kay said turning around to show it off. "It's sexy."
"Yes I'm sure all the ladies on the corner have one just like it, but your not bloody wearing that as my bridesmaid!" Karry screamed.
"But I don't see..." Kay protested.
"No but everyone in the first six rows certainly will!" Karry said. "Where the dress we bought you, please!"
"Fine!" Kay said waving her wand and changing dresses in a flash, giving everyone in the chapel, including the vicar, a quick peek of her unmentionables. Karry rolled her eyes. Sasporilla stood there trying not to laugh at the antics.
Mr. and Mrs.Curtiss walked in.
"Sorry we're late." Mrs.Curtiss said. "Your father had a time getting away from the office."
"Some last minute changes needed to a corporate presentation." Mr.Curtiss said. "I'd still be there if it wasn't for your mother."
"I just waved my wand. Nothing to special." Koleen smiled.
"Ok." The vicar said. "Shall we begin the rehearsal?"
Everyone took there places. Kay walked down the aisle first, with the usher Gary Goldrich. Sasporilla came down the aisle next on the arm of Karrys brother Korry who was best man. Maddy smiled at her handsome man from the a pew in front.
"Sorry we weren't there for you Sassy." Korry said. "I don't know why we acted so petty?"
"Your mum screamed at you?" Sassy smiled.
"Big time." Korry cringed.
Sassy took up her place next to Kay and Korry next to Zac.
Mr.Curtiss walked Karry down the aisle. Sassy smiled at her friend who was absolutely radiant, despite this being just the rehearsal. She took Zacs hand as they stood before the vicar and he instructed them in all of things he would say.
"Have you written the things you want to say to each other?"
"Yes Vicar." Karry smiled.
"You bet." Zac smiled. "My woman would beat me if I didn't do my home work."
"That's my girl." Mrs.Curtiss smiled.
"Good." The vicar smiled. "Then after all that I'll ask you if you do. You say yes hopefully and I pronounce you Husband and wife, you kiss the bride and we're done."
Zac looked deep into Karrys eyes and gave her a deep passionate kiss.
"I meant tomorrow but what ever." The vicar said closing his bible and walking off.
People started off thinking how sweet the kiss was, but it didn't seem to end.
"Mom, fetch the hose!" Kay said.
Karry made a most unseemly gesture towards her sister.
"Really Karry." Mrs.Curtiss said. "In the house of God you flip someone off! You're grounded young lady, no honeymoon for you."
The rehearsal dinner was at the Three Broomsticks. Madam Rosemerta closed the tavern for the event. The Curtiss family gathered with the rest of the wedding party to enjoy a wonderful meal of prime rib roast. Karry and Zac were so happy together they barely saw anyone else around them.
Sasporilla loved the fact that her friend had found so much happiness. She heard the voice of Mary Warrol in her head. She knew it was time.
"Korry, Maddy can I talk to you for a second?" Sasporilla said. "Over there?"
Sassy walked over to the arm chairs by the fire. Korry took Maddys hand and lead her over to join Sasporilla.
"I just needed to say something to the both of you." Sasporilla said. "Korry you had to make your choice. I'm sorry it wasn't me but you had to do what was right for you. I don't want to be mad at you or Maddy any more. I just want us all to be friends again."
"But we've been so horrible to you." Maddy said. "How can you ever forgive us?"
"Like this." Sasporilla said hugging them both. "I think the world of you two and I don't want to go away to Ireland with bad blood between us. I forgive you any slights against me and I hope you can forgive any of mine against you."
"We do." Maddy said.
"Good." Sasporilla smiled as the three of them hugged and made up.
Mr. and Mrs.Curtiss looked at the scene by the fire and smiled. "Looks like Korrys been forgiven."
"After everything I'd say I'm amazed that Sasporilla could forgive him or her." Koleen said. "But that's Wysterias daughter. The Bucket girls are amazing."
After the dinner the boys stayed in the Three Broomsticks for the Bachelor party. A rather tame affair of under aged young men enjoying a game of darts and butter beers.
The ladies returned to the house where for a combination bridal shower and bachelorette party. Kay had been forbidden to spice the party up with dancers or any of her outrageous stunts. In other words it was as boring as an old ladies social tea. They played games like toilet paper wedding gown, candy in the jar and with this ring. However it was mostly a gab-fest with a lot of marriage advice from mom and bedroom advice from Kay. Sasporilla cursed herself for not bringing a book to take notes. As of tomorrow she'd follow Melvins example and carry a notebook and quill in her bag.
"So you and Maddy kissed and made up?" Karry asked her best friend.
"I just got tired of being mad at them for a choice that was right for them." Sasporilla said.
"That was very mature of you." Karry said.
"Time for me to move on." Sasporilla sighed.
"You're a better woman than I Sasporilla Bucket." Karry said hugging her friend.
"Thank you." Sassy said. "Still hurts though but I do feel better over all."
"Good." Karry smiled. "I'm still gonna bust his chops until I stop being mad at him."
"I'd expect nothing less." Sassy smiled. "Are you ready for tomorrow?"
"To be honest I know I should be scared to death, but it all just feels so right, you know?" Karry smiled.
"You Karry Curtiss, my best friend, are my hero." Sasporilla said.
