The Vamp 2: Pleasant Surprises
Chapter One: The Wedding
It had been three years since Harry had moved in to Malfoy Manor, three years since Hogwarts, three years since he had defeated Voldermort, and three years since he'd been turned. Well, give or take a couple months. Harry must have been the happiest he'd ever been. Well, the happiest he'd been since he found out he was a wizard anyway. He was getting married to his soul mate, right at this moment. It was the most beautiful handfasting ceremony he'd ever seen, and it was his.
Draco was smiling, looking straight into Harry's eyes. He was so happy they were finally getting married. It was beautiful. Harry was beautiful. He was wearing rather simple dress robes, which were grey like Draco's eyes with green ribbon trim. Draco was wearing the opposite; green like Harry's eyes, with silver grey trim. They had chosen the gardens at the manor for this, and spells had been cast so all of the flowers were blooming.
It was October 31st. Draco and Harry had decided upon that day as a show of respect to Harry's parents. Harry had said that the day when the veil was at it's thinnest would be the best time to do it. Then his parents could be there, along with Dumbledore, Lupin, Moody, Tonks, Sirius, the Weasly twin who had fallen, and Severus. Draco had been happy Harry was willing to have Severus there, especially after all that had happened.
Although, this ceremony was a little bit larger than they had expected. All of the people who had fought on the side of light were there, whether they were dead or alive. Thing was, they all looked rather solid. Draco had never known that Harry had the power to bring back the dead; he didn't even think it was possible. Blaise was his best man and Ron was Harry's. Minerva had taken the place of High Priestess. Draco looked down, his hand and Harry's were tied with two beautiful ribbons. It was time. They turned, kissed, and as one, they jumped over the broomstick. There were loud cheers, and then the ceremony was over.
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
They were at the Reception now. It was nearly two o'clock in the morning already. They were having the time of their lives. Harry and Draco were together, hugging their dead friends and family goodbye. Harry was sad they had to go, but understood.
He hugged his mother first, and kissed her on the cheek. Lilly pulled Draco in to join their hug. Draco kissed her on the cheek as well. Lilly smiled.
"Congratulations boys. I couldn't have asked for better." Then she kissed them both on their foreheads, smiled, and disappeared.
Harry hugged his dad next. Draco was pulled into that hug as well. James smiled and turned into his Animagus form, before disappearing as well.
Harry and Draco both hugged Severus at the same time. Harry spoke first,
"Thank you Severus, thank you for helping me through it all. Thank you for protecting me. Thank you for caring about my mother enough to change sides all those years ago. And… I'm sorry I was such a pain at school." Harry finished with a smile. Severus laughed at that; which was a foreign sound to Harry, and then he turned to Draco.
"I love you Draco, I'm sorry I wasn't around after the war. It should have been me who explained this all to you." Draco's godfather told him.
"I love you too. And don't worry about it ok? Regrets only hold you back." Draco smiled again, and Severus became a ghost again, before returning the smile and disappearing as well.
Harry turned to Dumbledore. He was gripping Draco's hand tightly, and pulled him over.
"Albus… why didn't you tell me what would have to happen for me to win? Why didn't you tell me Severus had to kill you? Until I spoke to your portrait I thought he was evil. I thought Draco had wanted to kill you. Why didn't you tell me before you died that Snape was trying to protect us both?" Harry asked sounding like he was ready to cry.
"Because Harry, you needed to find out yourself. The same reason I didn't tell you that you would have to die to kill Voldermort. I thought you would think I was on the other side, and no longer trust me. I'm sorry this all had to happen to you, but you seem to have found the light at the end of the tunnel." He finished looking at Draco and smiling. They all hugged, and Dumbledore spoke again.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go now. Congratulations!" and Dumbledore disappeared.
They both turned to Lupin and Tonks next.
"I'm sorry guys. I'm sorry they wouldn't let me take Teddy. I hope he'll be happy with Ron and Hermione." Harry apologized to them looking sad. They smiled at him.
"Its ok Harry, the ministry has strange rules when it comes to vampires, especially gay vampires. They have strange rules when it comes to werewolves as well." Remus responded calmly. Assuring Harry it wasn't his fault.
"I'm sure Hermione and Ron will take good care of him. Unless they change the laws to allow him back to you." Tonks added smiling suspiciously. They all laughed and hugged, and the two disappeared.
That meant there were only two people left. Harry turned to the Weasly twin, and hugged him.
"I'm sorry I got you killed." He apologized.
"Its ok mate, I don't know what I would have done aside from get into trouble after the war anyway." He smiled and laughed. He hugged Draco,
"Glad you're the one who got Harry. My little sis just wouldn't have been able to handle him," he laughed.
"Um…thanks," Draco replied. The twin laughed again and disappeared.
Harry turned to Sirius. Draco saw someone on the other side of the room that he had to talk to.
"Hello Sirius. Thank you for coming to the ceremony." Draco told him.
"No problem. Harry deserves to be happy, and I got to catch up with everyone. Would you mind if I talked to Harry privately for a moment?" he replied. Draco smiled; he was just trying to think of a way to go talk to the woman on the other side of the room.
"No problem. I'll leave you two to chat." He hugged Sirius, smiled at Harry, and began to walk across the room.
Pansy was sitting at a table in the corner, with Blaise of all people. So this is why Blaise wasn't telling him who he was bringing. Draco walked over to their table.
"So, is this who you brought with you?" he asked Blaise, sounding slightly annoyed.
"Yes drake, she's been trying to speak with you since Hogwarts. Problem is, you seem to have extremely good security. No-one in slytherin has been able to talk to you but me." Blaise answered adding,
"I'll leave you two to talk." And he stood up to walk away.
"So, what do you want to talk to me about then." Draco spoke angrily.
"Draco, I have something to ask you, and something to tell you. I don't know how you'll feel about either part." Pansy answered nervously.
"What are you on about pansy. Spit it out." Draco replied annoyed.
"Its hard for me to tell you. I haven't seen you in three years!" pansy sighed, but continued.
"Draco, after I left Hogwarts I found out I was pregnant. I was sure she wasn't yours, but when she was born, I knew otherwise. Draco you have a daughter. We have a daughter." Draco looked at her angrily for a moment, thinking.
"Your ploy to get me back isn't going to work Pans. I'm happy with Harry, and I would never leave him." He ended the conversation, got up from his chair, and left sounding annoyed. He didn't believe her, so he chose not to tell Harry.
He was walking across the hall towards Harry, and he realized he probably still looked annoyed. He took a deep breath, and forced a small smile. Harry hugged Sirius, Sirius turned into his Animagus, and then he disappeared. Now that everyone dead was gone, they chose to start mingling with their still live friends, and dance again.
