Draco could hear the Wedding Marching playing faintly as he walked down the aisle, but his mind had mostly blocked that out. Blood roared in his ears as he walked forward, eyes seeing nothing but Harry waiting for him at the end. He took a deep breath as he reached him, eyes glistening with unshed tears of joy.
"You look beautiful." Harry whispered. Draco blushed at his fiancé's words.
"Welcome, everyone." Kingsley Shacklebolt, who had agreed to officiate, said. "We are gathered here to witness the bonding of two fine young men. Harry James Potter," he paused to look at Harry. "Do you take this man, Draco Lucius Malfoy, to be your husband in magic and soul, to be bound to him until you are parted by Death?"
"I do." Harry said firmly before smiling at Draco.
"Draco Lucius Malfoy, do you take Harry James Potter to be your husband in magic and soul, to be bound to him until you are parted by Death?" Kingsley continued.
"I do." Draco affirmed.
Kingsley nodded and gestured to them. "You may now say your vows."
"Draco," Harry began. "The first time I met you, I thought you were a stuck-up prick. The years that followed did absolutely nothing to change that." Harry paused as the audience laughed. "And then the war happened. We both went through hell, and you had the chance to give me up, to let the Dark win. But you didn't. If someone had told me ten years ago that I would be here, marrying Draco Malfoy of all people, I would have had them committed. But here I am, and here you are." He took a breath. "Draco, I love you more than I could ever say. The past two years with you have been some of the best of my life, and I have never been happier. I swear to you that I will be a good husband to you and a good father to Scorpius. I will love you with every fiber of my being, and I will spend every moment of the rest of our lives by your side."
Draco smiled softly at his fiancé before saying, "Harry James Potter. When we first met, I hated you. We spent years fighting, and nothing anyone said or did could change my opinion of you. After the war, I was broken. Astoria somehow managed to heal me, but then she died and I was even more broken than before. Then I saw you at Blaise and Ginny's wedding and I thought 'What the hell?'. Sitting down and talking to you at that wedding was probably the best decision I made in my life. The past couple of years have been like a dream. I fall in love with you every day, over and over again. I love you so, so much, Harry. I swear to love you, and to never stop loving you. Even when we're so old that we can't hold our forks, I'll be right there holding your hand. Today is the start of the rest of our lives, and I will do everything in my power to make each day better than the one before it." Tears were flowing freely from the eyes of both men.
"I now pronounce you husbands. You may kiss to seal your bond." Kingsley said. Harry grabbed Draco and dragged him forward. The kiss only lasted for a moment, but for Draco it felt like a lifetime. They broke the kiss and turned towards the crowd as Kingsley said, "May I present to you Mr. Harry Malfoy-Potter and Mr. Draco Malfoy-Potter."
"I think I'm the happiest man alive right now." Harry whispered into Draco's ear as they performed their first dance as husbands.
"Not possible." Draco whispered back. "There is absolutely no way that you are happier than me right now."
"I think we'll just have to agree to disagree." Harry chuckled as the song ended. "Do you need to sit down now? You've been on your feet for a while now." Draco nodded and let Harry lead them to their table.
"Those were some nice vows you wrote each other." Blaise said as they walked up to the table. "Nice touch, mentioning how much you hated each other back in school."
"Yes, they were rather brilliant, weren't they?" Draco smirked.
"I'm just surprised you even wrote vows. Harry's never been the most creative of people." Ginny quipped from beside her husband.
Harry glared at his friend. "Eyes like pickled toads." He reminded her.
"Oh, hush. I was eleven, in case you've forgotten." Ginny glared back.
"Forgotten that you had a schoolgirl crush on me for three years, you mean? Because that's not something I would forget." Harry adopted a smirk not unlike his husband's.
"Yes, antagonize the pregnant red-head. That's always a good idea." Ginny's glare intensified.
Harry smiled. "You know you love me, Gin."
"Yes, but I wonder why every day." Ginny rolled her eyes at the man.
"So Draco," Hermione said from across the table. "What are you two planning on doing for your honeymoon?"
Draco sighed. "Absolutely nothing. My Healer gave me strict orders not to do anything too strenuous, and that includes vacations to tropical islands, apparently. We're planning on taking a vacation after my back is completely healed."
"Well, when you do, Fred and I would be happy to watch the kids. Rose is always asking me when Scorpius is coming back over. I think she may have a little crush on him." Hermione grinned. Draco was sure that the little crush was returned by his son.
"Oh no," Fred spoke up. "My little girl is not allowed to have a crush on anyone until she's thirty."
"Good luck stopping her." Ginny snorted. "If you couldn't stop me from having crushes and dating, you're definitely not going to be able to stop her. She's half Hermione and half you. You're not going to be able to stop her from doing anything once she puts her mind to it. Just wait until she's a teenager."
Fred groaned and let his head fall onto the table. "Hermione, why couldn't we have all boys?"
"I can't be the only girl in the house. We already had two boys, I needed a girl." Hermione answered, rubbing circles in her husband's back.
"Yes, but now I'm going to be raising a teenage girl. I'm going to have to beat the boys off with a stick!" Fred cried, burying his head in his hands.
"How do you think I feel? Marissa's going to start dating a lot sooner than Rose." Harry said from his place beside Draco.
"Sorry to change the subject," Ron interrupted from the end of the table. "But do you have any leads on the partner of the guy who attacked Draco?"
Harry sighed and shook his head. "Nothing. All we know is that the guy had a partner. We managed to get that much out of him, but he won't tell us anything else. We think his memory may have been modified."
"Damn. I'm sure you'll find something. There can't be that many people who know that curse." Ron replied. "I doubt Snape spread it around."
"It's just a question of who he taught it to. We'll find him, though. Now, enough of this negativity. It's a happy day." Harry turned to look at Draco. "Everything is going to be just fine."
Draco smiled and nodded. Everything will be fine.
