He stood in the shadows behind one of the many tall white leaf engraved columns of the cathedral, just a mere few feet away from the black baby grand piano that had been brought in only hours before. The small instrument looked very inferior under the almost glowing 15,966 pipe organ. He glanced at the red haired pianist seat at the keys, her face focused on the music but stilled showed happiness as she looked up almost every other note.
His eyes strained to see the front of the cathedral, though his heart was unwilling to see it breaking ever so slightly listening to the melody of the piano and the quiet 'ahs' of the audience. His hands gripped the large column as the man at the front started to speak . His loud yet gentle understanding voice rang out through the building, and into the ears and hearts of the smiling attendees. The hiding young man felt incredibly light headed and nauseated from the ministers words.
"Today, your current life ends, and you will begin anew… together." He looked back up to the pianist again then out to the crowd. Not one other face matched his, nor should it, today was a happy day for them They weren't aware of his feeling or his heart. His hand reached for the locket around his neck, stopping centimeters away. His eyes widened as he heard her once strong voice now respond softly to the minister.
"I do." Tears hit his hand as it yanked the thin chained black locket from his neck. He stared down at the silver lettering on the heart "você é meu amor eterno" The salty tears glistened off the black gold before rolling off the curved metal and onto the ground. He passed his thumb over the engraving leaning his head back and staring at what, he didn't know, nor did he care.
"Here." The young man looked down at the small package she had put in his hands.
"What's this?"
"Just open it." He pulled lightly at the red silk ribbon, pocketing it he slipped the lid of the box off to reveal a black gold heart locket.
"você é meu amor eterno." He looked up at her, smiling. "Thank you." clasping the locket around his neck and placing a kiss on her lips "I love you."
He wiped the tears from his eyes as the guests began to clap, the ceremony was clearly over. Pushing himself from the column he turned to leave when he heard a bright voice behind him.
"Oh Draco, you came." The red head said surprised after his three years of absence. He glanced at the bride, her dark brown curls bouncing freely over her shoulders, before walking away, the locket slipping out of his hand taking his already broken heart with it. It opened as it hit the ground revealing a small oval picture of a brown curly haired Gryffindor placing a kiss on Draco's lips and smiling before turning to the camera.
"So I did."
