Ron arrived at the town hall with only 15 minutes to spare before the 11 o'clock wedding. He'd bought indigo dress robes, which he hoped wouldn't clash with the rest of the wedding party. He'd chuckled when he heard that Terry Boot was standing up as Morag's witness; it might be the first time he'd heard of having a best man for the bride as well as the groom, but that made a bit more sense than calling Terry the "matron of honour". In any event, Terry looked spiffy and Percy looked quite handsome though nervous in his dove-grey dress robes.

Going up to Percy, he grinned. "Hope I'm not late. Everything okay here? You look really good. Very handsome, like a bloke should on his wedding day."

Percy flushed a little at that. "All right, yes. It's nearly time--Terry's just gone to fetch Morag. I've been going mad since last night, worrying. Partially about Mother. Bill says he doesn't know if she's coming." Percy sighed.

He pulled out Morag's wedding ring. "Be careful, mind. I could replace you more cheaply than this." He was partially teasing, though in his straight-faced, Percyish way.

"Good to know someone's fetching her," Ron said, glad it wasn't something on his own to-do list. "I wish I could tell you whether Mum's coming but I don't really know. I didn't have a chance to talk to her at Gin's party last weekend."

Ron stared down at the ring in Percy's hand, picking up it gingerly and putting it in a pocket in the seam of his dress robes. "Blimey, that's really pretty. I reckon that cost you more than a few Galleons. I'm sure she'll love it. And you can hex my...hex me all you want if I lose it. Which I won't." He was definitely not going to lose this ring; he had plenty more to lose if he did.

Percy sighed a little, then embraced Ron. "Never mind. I'm just glad you're here. And I know you won't lose it, I trust you." He looked around. "I suppose we'll be beginning soon--that's Lavender, isn't it? Very pretty. Ought to marry her. Everyone should be married." He grinned.

"Yeah, that's Lavender," Ron said, glancing over to where his girlfriend sat, looking more gorgeous than usual in her green dress robes. "She's beautiful. Yeah, well, maybe I will. Someday." He grinned back. "Thought's crossed my mind a few times. We'll see."
