Prologue: Aria Prima Black's Wedding

Aria stared at the ring that now adorned her finger. It was black with a small, circular diamond embedded in the center. Regulus saw her face darkening red as its existence began to process in her mind. Her hair as well.

"Aria Prima Tenor, will you marry me?" Regulus Arcturus Black, now her fiance, held her hand in a loving manner. He kissed the ring.

Nevertheless, Aria smiled and jumped on him, crushing him in a bear hug. "Of course, I've been bloody waiting forever, you buffoon!" She planted a kiss smack on his lips. "Aria Prima Black. I like the sound of that."

"I do too, Aria," Regulus drew her close, "and Severus Snape said I didn't have the guts to do it as young as I am."

"Let's send him a Howler. That shall surely wake him up." Aria giggled. "I, Regulus Arcturus Black, has proposed to Aria Prima Tenor at age eighteen. I, Aria Prima Tenor, no Aria Prima Black, was proposed to by Regulus Arcturus Black at age twenty. But proposing on your birthday Regulus, I never took you for the rash type."

"I want us to officially be recognized by my parents as soon as possible," Regulus explained. He intertwined his fingers in hers as they sat down in the lovely garden of 12 Grimmauld Place. Roses were in full bloom, creating the romantic atmosphere. "I'm just thankful you're a pure blood. If not, we would have ended up like Andromeda and Sirius."

"I met Sirius last week. He still thinks you're with the Death Eaters," Aria fretted, "when will you two fools ever make up?"

"Aria, the time will come soon. You know my locket, yes? I'm going to replace the horcrux with it."

"Tell me when you're going to replace Voldemold's locket, alright?"

"Voldemold?" Seriously, this girl has no respect for the most feared of all wizards.

"I'm going with you. Ursa told me of the Inferi there after she investigated the cavern. The locket is also under the potion. If I go, I can identify it for you and prepare the proper antidote with Severus."

"My sister told you?" Regulus's eyes widened. "After she promised..."

Aria cupped her hands on Regulus's face. "We're going to get married, and I'm going to be a Black. Like it or not, we are bound together until death do us part."

"Okay, you can come," Regulus rested his head on Aria's shoulder," but go to Sirius, Lupin, Ursa, or James if anything happens to me. Don't trust Peter Pettigrew. I believe he's a Death Eater, but it isn't confirmed."

Aria nodded. "Got it. So, on to more merrier news, who should be our best man?"

"Why Severus of course!" Regulus laughed heartily. The two spent the rest of the night preparing for their wedding.

"Severus, thank you for coming today despite your busy schedule." Aria spoke as Severus placed the veil over her face. "Oh, my hair would change so many colors if it weren't for you." At this remark, her hair changed to a bright pink. Severus knew her eyes were probably the same tint. "Thank you for always being there for me."

Severus took one of his hands in hers. "Calm down. Even if your hair changes color constantly down the aisle, today is your day. What I want most is to see my friend happy for the rest of her life."

"Don't worry Severus. Regulus will treat me well." Aria's hair returned to the same white color. "He has and always will."

Severus led her to the doors. Severus could see Regulus in his wedding attire, smiling at the two's entrance. Ursa, the maid of honor was by Regulus's side; her face could not contain the emotions she was feeling. Lucius Malfoy, the ring bearer, was also standing next to Regulus.

Severus Snape beamed with pride as he walked down the bride to the altar. Aria Prima Black, his longtime friend, was decked out in an elegant wedding dress. The white fabric was stitched with black silk fabric that connected the train trailing the back. The lace edges were ebony musical notes that also created the design of the train. All the guests were in awe of her beauty. Her face was hid by the white veil attached to the small black tiara she wore. Severus thought that today could be one of the most momentous moments of his life. When Aria reached the altar, Regulus took her dainty hand, and thanked Severus for the escort.

Severus now stood by Regulus and Lucius while Ursa and the flower girl stood besides Aria. Dumbledore cleared his throat.

"Today is the day where I congratulate my students and wish them happiness in their marriage. It is an honor to attend two of my top student's ceremony. It is sad to say that the bride's family is deceased, but the best man has done an excellent job in replacing the bride's father's position. In sickness and in health, may these two's love last for eternity."

Dumbledore spoke some more and finished the speech. Severus wasn't paying attention due to spotting some animals in the distance. A rat, stag, and dog. These animals seemed off and Severus knew why, but he ignored them. This day would not be ruined by anybody.

"I do." Aria spoke with clarity using her harmonious voice.

"You may kiss the bride."

Regulus and Aria shared a passionate kiss, sealing their love to one another forever until death do them part.

Omg, I finally started a Harry Potter fanfic! The issue would be balancing the three stories I have now. Especially with school on my hands. I'm updating this at the same time as chapter 1. That's where the story really starts. I had fun writing Aria and her 'Voldemold' comment. I mean, Voldemort is kind of greenish pale color that always reminded me of mold. This will be spanning to all seven years. I haven't decided whether to break the story up in separate stories for every year or make it this huge fanfic. Eh, I'll decide when the time comes.

There's supposed to be a priest like guy somewhere, but I don't know that much about magic weddings and I was still confused when reading Fleur and Bill's in the seventh book. Since this is such a big scale wedding I just put my own spin to it but mostly had it the same as a normal wedding. I can't believe I made Lucius the best man! Gah! Oh well, pure blood reigns supreme in this story. I also made Regulus this nice guy to his wife, Aria. I mean if you're in love, you would treat the person you love different and specially from everyone else. And yeah, she's older than Regulus but so what? Not everyone is the same age as their spouse... Okay done ranting sorry.

Thanks for reading!
