Nerves

This was stupid. This was so monumentally stupid that Ron couldn't believe how stupid he was being. Because this was really stupid.

"Stop it," he said, and leaned forward to tap Ron on the nose. "You're focusing too much and making yourself all nervous."

"I should be nervous!" Ron hissed. This was the most stupid thing that he'd ever done in his life. They should have eloped. They really, really should have eloped. The reception was going to be an utter disaster. Really. This was a terrible idea.

"You shouldn't be. My family will behave, and your family will behave, and everything will work just fine," his intended said, a serene smile on his face.

Ron's eyes narrowed. "You've met my brothers, right?" he asked. "Have you ever known Fred and George to behave?"

"No. But I've complete confidence in the ability of their wife to keep them in line," Draco said cheerfully. "Hermione won't take any flack from either of them today, or so she's promised. And in exchange for keeping them out of trouble, she's going to get an exclusive look at the Malfoy library for as many weekends as she'd like, which means that you know that she'll do it."

Ron's eyes widened. "Did you bribe one of my best friends?" he asked, startled. Why hadn't that occurred to him?

"I bribed them both," Draco said, still cheerful. "Did you think I wouldn't? Hermione's handling your brothers, and by extension, she's handling the rest of your family. Harry, on the other hand, has my parents wrapped around his little finger and has sworn to throw the most outrageous fit should either one of them look like they intend on misbehaving. It'll all work out just fine."

Ron stared at his soon to be husband, amazed. He'd known Draco was a snake, but not entirely how much. "I love you," he said, unable to keep the words from passing his lips.

Draco smiled smugly at him. "I know," he said cheerfully, and then it was time for the ceremony to begin.
