"I now pronounce you Husband and Wife." Albus Dumbledore said in a low voice.

Looking at the two students whom he had just united, he smiled a sorrowful and sad smile. For some reason he had always thought he would be attending the wedding of Harry Potter and, or maybe Ron Weasly and Hermione Granger, not Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger. But he wouldn't have denied the young happy couple for the world.

Hermione had worn a pale white spaghetti top dress and her groom had worn a strikingly handsome tuxedo. While they weren't wizards robes nor were they school uniforms they were appropriate somehow.

The newly wed couple looked so happy, and it was their choice to make, so why did he feel so bad? Albus chokingly swallowed the rising disappointment in his throat and smiled, "Congrats", he said clapping Draco on the shoulder.

"Ahem", Severus Snape cleared his throat…."congratulations to you both...I wish you a long and peaceful marriage…."

"As do I…" Minerva Mcgonagall said smiling, "now if you excuse me I do think it best that Severus and I take our leave…again congratulations to you both."

With that both teachers swept out of the room grimacing at what they felt was a very large mistake.

Dumbledore took a deep breath and sadly asked for the rings back. Hermione had known it was coming….after all this was the only way that Dumbledore had agreed to marry them…as long as it was kept a secret until graduation. Tearfully she thought of the days to come and how it would be so hard to just go back to being Draco's enemy and not his wife. All she wanted to do right now was scream from the highest mountaintops that she was Draco Malfoy's wife and then tell the world how much she loved him. She knew that some would object(ie: his parents and maybe hers) but other than that Ginny knew and had been sworn to secrecy and she was sure Ron and Harry wanted her to be happy.

Slowly she let her teary eyes meet Draco's silver anguish filled eyes. She knew this was the right thing to do. Sadly she slipped off the diamond encrusted wedding band and handed it to Dumbledore at about the same time as Draco slowly handed Dumbledore his ring.

Dumbledore showed them to his office door and closed it behind them.

As soon as they were out of sight of the teachers Draco leaned over and softly brushed Hermione's lips with his "Soon," he cooed," soon my love we will be able to tell the whole world we love each other."

Soon…he promised Hermione thought as she slowly and sadly made her way back to Gryffindor tower. Whispering the password to the fat lady of the portrait she silently crept to her bed. First thing she noticed when she arrived in her room was that there was an open window and a light breeze was blowing. Undressing and climbing into the big four poster bed she was about to fall asleep when Draco appeared before and smiled that trademark smile.

Hermione's eyes grew large with pleasure at seeing her husband and horror at seeing her husband.

"Draco", she hissed quietly, "What are you doing here?"

Still smiling, " Giving you part of the wedding night you deserve Mrs. Malfoy."

Smiling but wary of her roommates both of them cast silencing spells and fell into her bed.

Early the next morning as he was dressing…he glanced over at his beautiful sleeping wife and felt a strong surge of pride and possessiveness at the thought that she was his.
