Chapter Ten- The Weddings
Six months after graduation from Hogwarts and here were Meli and Hermione, standing in wedding gowns. Meli's was a halter dress that hugged her curves while Hermione's was an elegant spaghetti strap gown. Meli twisted up her hair into a bun a few tendrils of hair hung loose and Hermione wore hers in curls. Smiling at each other neither could believe this was true. They were both marrying the men they loved and they would be becoming sisters, something neither had. Although it would be quite a sight Hermione and Meli had decided to walk down the aisle together with George escorting both of them. Ron was best man and after much talk both Ginny and Luna were maids of honor. They needed two after all. Ginny and Luna bounded into the room and gasped. "You both look absolutely breathtaking." Ginny said. "And the boys sent us to let you know it's time." Luna added. Music started and they waved goodbye as they took their places. George walked in then and took both of their arms in his. "Ain't I a lucky man." He commented with a smile. Meli beamed up at him. "Now now we wouldn't want Draco or Harry hexing you for trying to win over their girls." She said cheekily.
It was time. She saw Harry and Draco standing side by side and suddenly she was nervous. Glancing a look over at Hermione it appeared that she was too. Is this how all brides felt? Shaking it off they slowly made their way down the aisle and everyone murmured about how beautiful they both looked. Reaching the boys George gave Meli's hand to Draco and Hermione's hands to Harry's. Doing his job he sat down in the front row and Meli was grateful that he had agreed to this, especially for Hermione whose parents had died during the war during a muggle attack. The old wizard priest began and all fell silent. AN: I'm winging it from here cause I still don't know much about weddings. XD
"This is going to be a simple ceremony since the couples decided no words need to be said. With that being said I'll start from where they want me to." He said. "Do you Harry James Potter take Hermione Jane Granger to be your wife and partner as long as you both shall live? Do you recognize the love you have for her and enter this union knowing this will bind you to her forevermore?" he asked. Harry smiled as he looked at Hermione. "I take her to be my wife and partner, and would be honored to be bound for her forevermore." He stated. Taking the ring from Ron he slipped the golden band on Hermione's finger. Turning to Draco the priest asked, "Do you Draco Alexander Malfoy take Meli James Potter to be your wife and partner? Do you agree to recognize the love for her and enter this union knowing you are bound to her forevermore?" Draco smirked his trademark smirk just for her. "I take her for my wife, partner, and my forevermore love is given to her." He said. Taking the silver band from Ron he slipped it on to Meli's finger in front of the butterfly ring.
Turning to Hermione the old priest vowed to never again do a double wedding. "Do you Hermione Jane Granger take Harry James Potter to be your partner and husband? Do you accept his love and agree to be bound to him forevermore?" "I accept his love." Hermione said simply. If she would have continued she would have cried she was so happy. Ginny handed her the ring and she put it on Harry's finger. "Do you Meli James Potter take Draco Alexander Malfoy to be your partner and husband? Do you accept his love and agree to be bound for him forevermore?" At this Meli knew she had to have no regrets and finally found she had none. "I accept his love and wouldn't want to be bound to any other." Meli was a strong one so when Luna handed her the ring she tried to hold his hand gently as she slid it on his finger. "I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Harry Potter, and you two Mr. and Mrs. Draco Malfoy. Kiss your brides." The priest said. Quickly the two couples pecked each other on the lips because this was not a place for all out snogging.
Taking their new husbands hands the left the little church and towards their new homes with them. This was the beginning of their future and they all hoped only good would come out of it.
