Chapter 10
"Of course, Sev," she breathed. He delicately placed the ring on her finger and stood. She hugged him fiercely.
"I had to do it the right way," he whispered into her ear, almost apologetically. She chuckled.
"You wouldn't be the man I love if you hadn't," she whispered back. They turned to the children expectantly.
"Of course, if it's all right with you," Severus said. "Would you mind if Jane and I married?"
"Not at all!" Mia answered quickly as she threw her arms around him. Harry and Drax were quick to follow, and soon all five were engulfed in a family hug.
"Are you getting married today?" Mia asked hopefully. Severus and Jane chuckled.
"Tomorrow at the very latest," Severus replied. Jane looked up at him, shocked.
"How on earth will we have time to make all the arrangements? The flowers, the clothes, the guests..." she trailed off.
"Flowers and clothes can be conjured," Severus ticked off on his fingers. "I can have invitations for the guests made and delivered within seconds."
"We're going to have a proper Muggle wedding, Severus," she told him.
"If one had a priest friend..." he trailed off. She smirked.
"As it happens, a friend of mine is a priest, and he is not busy tomorrow," she replied. "Fine fine fine. I'll tell you what to conjure, and you conjure it. Got it?"
"Yes, my dear," the Potions master replied.
--------------------
"Here is what Mia will wear," Jane told him, pointing to a picture in a wedding magazine. Severus narrowed his eyes in concentration as he conjured the dress. Mia went to the bathroom and put it on.
"Perfect!" Jane exclaimed. "Oh, Sev, doesn't she look stunning?"
"She does," he agreed. Mia smiled.
"Take it off, honey, so we can keep it clean for tomorrow," Jane told her daughter, who nodded and ducked back into the bathroom.
"Now, the boys," Jane said. "I think they should wear something like this..." She pointed to another picture, and Severus made a face.
"You don't like it?" she surmised.
"I feel they should wear something more formal... like this," he answered, pointing to a picture on the next page. She gasped.
"Of course they should!" she answered, hands clasped. "Boys, come here!" Harry and Drax made their way into the living room. Severus concentrated and conjured the boys' clothing.
"Go, go try it on," she told them, pointing the way to the bathroom. Less than three minutes later, they came out.
"Oh, Sev, they look amazing!" she breathed. "Now go change out so you don't get them dirty!"
"Jane, there is a spell to clean clothing," he reminded her.
"Old habits die hard, I suppose," she replied. She turned to face him.
"I'm very glad you're willing to have a muggle wedding," she whispered quietly.
"Me too," he whispered back. Very slowly, she kissed him again.
"Oi!" Drax exclaimed as he and Harry came out of the bathroom. Jane blushed a deep scarlet, but Severus just stared at them, one eyebrow raised. Drax and Harry giggled as they ran out of the room, no doubt to find Mia and tell what they'd just witnessed.
"They'd better get used to it," he whispered as he kissed her.
--------------------
"Now, as far as flowers go, I think we should go with these," Jane said as she flipped through a floral catalogue. "They've always been my favorite."
"Do they go with the attire?" Severus asked.
"We could change the color, I suppose," Jane replied. "Yes, this color doesn't exactly go with Mia's dress, does it?"
"And what about your dress? I haven't yet conjured it. We must get on that," Severus told her.
"I've ordered my dress already," Jane told him. He began to protest, but she cut him off.
"It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride's dress before she walks down the aisle, remember?" she reminded him. He rolled his eyes, and she chuckled.
"It will be here first thing in the morning, they promised," she reassured him.
"If it isn't, I'm conjuring it for you," he told her.
"Deal," she agreed.
--------------------
"Joshua! Come on in!" Jane's voice exclaimed as she opened the door.
"Jane, how are you?" he asked as she led him into the foyer, where Severus sat stiffly.
"Joshua, this is my fiancé, Severus Snape," she introduced. "Sev, this is my friend Joshua Fields. Joshua, we're so glad you've agreed to help us out."
"It's not a problem. Nice to meet you," Joshua added as he shook Severus's hand firmly.
"You as well," Severus returned.
"Now, I'm sure you both know how this works," Joshua said as he sat opposite the couple. "You have already picked vows, I presume?"
"Yes," Jane replied. She handed him a piece of paper. He read it over.
"Traditional. I like it," he said. "Do you have your vows for each other?"
"We have written them separately," Severus replied, and they each handed him a small sheet of paper. He read one, then the other.
"These are lovely," Joshua remarked honestly. "I think this will be a lovely wedding.
"And last but not least, the wedding party," Joshua continued, clasping his hands together. He unclasped his hands and picked up a pad of paper. Jane and Severus turned to look at each other.
This is going to be a long day, Severus thought to himself.
Very short, yes, and yes, I am fully aware of the lack of detail I gave. I'm saving it for the piece de resistance-- the wedding! It's going to be an awesome chapter, very long and full of detail! You'll love it. Review, please! If you can. I like to hear what you guys have to say!
