Harry could never remember being this happy in all of his life. Today was two days before Christmas and his wedding day. They celebrated the holiday early with their families so they could be away for a full honeymoon before next term. Harry and Corrine would be in his rooms when they came back and on weekends they would have a small manor in Kent from his Papa. The Potter homes were two massive manors and neither wanted. The two would call the UK home but they chose to marry in the Delacaur estate gardens which Harry loved too. Alberi's family and Harry's grandparents came. Nyx did too but as a compromise the snake was not coming on the honeymoon with them. Corrine loved his cat wings and all but Nyx was another matter.
The beautiful back gardens were transformed thanks to a snow spell into a winter paradise. They were not far from the stables where Handsome once lived but he was now in the UK. Harry stood next to his Uncle Luc who was to marry them under an arch of poinsettias which were in bunches at the end of rows. Harry had Ian and Jonah as well as Draco and Michel. Corrine had his sister and three friends.
Lucius began "We are here today to join these two in marriage. Who gives the bride away?"
Jerome looked so proud "Her mother and I do."
Lucius turned to Harry "Do you Harry James Lupin take Corrine Delacaur as your wife and bond united in magic and body till death parts you?"
Harry was beaming "I do."
"And do you Corrine grace Delacaur take Harry Lupin as your husband and bond untied in magic and body till death parts you?"
Corrine was in tears "I do."
Michel handed a ring to his sister "Take this ring and claim Harry as your husband while I stand witness."
Corrine slid the ring on Harry "With this ring I take you as my husband and bond."
Corrine's friend Lauren did her ring for Sadie was too young "Take this ring; and claim Corrine as your wife while I stand witness."
Harry slid it on "With this ring I take you as my wife and bond."
Lucius finished "By the powers that be I pronounce you husband and wife. Harry you may kiss your wife."
Harry drew Corrine into his arms for a long passionate kiss. They were pulled apart by clapping and went to sign the contract. The Delacaurs and Weasleys, Lupins and Malfoys, Sirius and Lee with their two, Hermione, the Tonks family and Moody were there. Harry's family from Avalon, elves and veela and a number of friends and staff from school as well. Harry to this day remained friends with Abby and Ash who Corrine met many times but for obvious reasons couldn't come.
The party moved into the ballroom which looked like the great hall during the ball. There was the sky effect on the roof Beautiful Christmas trees and ice sculptures filled the room but the flowers were from Avalon. Lee's brother in law Paul did the cake. With Lee at his side he remarried a few years ago and now had a son.
Harry held Corrine close to him for their first dance "I never thought I could be this happy."
A year and a half nearly later the families flooded into the infirmary. Since Easter a few weeks before Corrine was on leave. It was the first week in May and in September she would return for her final year to apprentice before she took over for Poppy. Kreacher and Dobby were both anxious to help with the baby. Their parents and families were there but so were the red heads and Malfoys. They knew they would have plenty more soon enough.
Severus and Remus led the way thinking for a moment their son should be thirty two like Draco. Draco and Pansy had ten year old Alex, eight year old Quintus and five year old Lucilla. Again though they were reminded Harry was exactly how old he should be and truly happy with his wife and the new baby.
No one had known the sex and Sadie was happy to exclaim "A nephew. I have a nephew."
Corrine looked up from her son "That you do."
The baby soon was making his rounds. Harry was still apprenticing but Horace sent him from class when Poppy sent for him. Horace was perhaps not his Papa's level but he had learned a lot from the man. Horace had retired for the first time for Severus and was proud it was the man's son this time.
Oliver who with Michel were godfathers smiled as he held the baby "What name have you chosen for this little man?"
Harry did the honours "We wanted something unique and special so our son is Ewan Marcus Lupin."
The Fae and veela took their names from nature so Ewan was chosen as it came from the yew tree. The Delacaurs and Lily's family were honoured there. Harry's dads the Malfoys and Weasleys were honoured in Marcus. The name was derived from Mars for the Roman myth and was also in Arthurian myth for the Weasleys.
Severus kissed his first grandson on the head "A beautiful name for a beautiful little boy"
