Chapter 11: The Wedding

The next day, Jamie woke up and as soon as she woke, she saw Draco staring back at her, and she smiled and said, "Hey." He smiled back and said, "Hey yourself, beautiful! So, today's the big day, huh?" Jamie nodded, and suddenly, she started crying. Draco wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him, saying, "Baby, what's wrong?" Jamie said against his chest, "Nothing. I- I'm just so ha-happy! I can't believe that I'm finally getting married." Draco grinned, leaned down and kissed her on her forehead, saying, "I can't believe I'm getting married, either. You're the woman of my dreams. I love you!" Jamie looked up and sniffled, saying, "I love you, too!"

Later, all the students and the teachers were outside seated on the vast front lawn of Hogwarts, and Jamie was pacing inside a tent nervously. Hermione was inside the tent with her, and she said, "Mia, stop pacing! You're making me nervous, and I'm not the one getting married!" Jamie laughed weakly and said, "Sorry, 'Mione. I just…..I still can't believe it!" She looked in the full-length mirror and said, "Do you think I look alright?" 'Mione smiled and said, "Mia, you look gorgeous!" Jamie was wearing a simple lavender gown, with off-the-shoulder straps. It hugged her upper body, and flowed out gently down her hips. Her hair was in a mess of curls on top of her head, with a couple of pieces hanging in front of her face.

'Mione stood up and said, "Well, I have to go and get prepared!" and she hugged Jamie, and she then left. As soon as she left, James came into the tent and said, "Hey, munchkin!" Jamie looked up, smiled and said, "Hey, dad!" He came over to her, and he knelt in front of her and said softly, "I can't tell you how proud I am of you, Jamie! You're the most perfect daughter any father could've asked for! My little girl!" and he put his hand on her cheek, and Jamie sobbed, said, "Oh, dad!" and she threw herself into James' arms and cried.

Then, after Jamie had composed herself, she and James stood, and he held out her arm, and Jamie took it, smiled, and they made their way outside. Everyone turned, and gasps were heard, as well as comments of "Jamie, you look beautiful!" and "Jamie, you're so lucky!" and "Congratulations, Jamie!" Jamie looked ahead at Draco, and he looked so handsome in his tux, and he had a huge smile on his face. Draco, meanwhile, saw Jamie and felt more happy than he had ever been in his whole life. She looked stunning, and he felt his heart swell with love. James brought Jamie up to Draco, and he hugged her and sat down with Lily and his granddaughter.

Draco then reached out his hand and pulled Jamie up next to him, and he whispered, "You look radiant, love!" She smiled, and Dumbledore then said, "Everyone, we gather to witness the joining of Draco and Jamie. Although they were not always a match made in heaven, they have proven that even love can overlook the fiercest of enemies. Draco, Jamie, you may begin you're vows." Draco looked at Jamie and took a deep breath, and he began, "Jamie, I have loved you ever since I first saw you. I was scared of being rejected, so I covered up my feelings and treated you like crap. When we kissed on the train, my world was changed forever. All of my feelings came back full force, and you have shown me so much love and devotion that I almost feel like I'm dreaming, because the only time you had ever loved me so fully was in my dreams. " Jamie had started to cry, and she smiled as he continued, "I promise to love, cherish and respect you every waking moment, and I will never stop loving you."

Jamie also took a deep breath, and she said, " Draco, if someone had told me 6 years ago that I'd end up having your baby and getting married to you, I would have suggested that they go to St. Mungo's. I would have been lying, though, because that was my fantasy. I'd dream of being Mrs. Draco Malfoy, and raising a child with you. I would wonder what my life would be like if you were in it, loving me. I finally have my fairy tale life, complete with my Prince Charming, and my beautiful daughter." Draco smiled, and started to cry, a single tear making its way down his face. Jamie continued, "I promise to love, cherish and respect you every day of my life, and I won't love you until the day I die. I'll love you even after I die."

There was not a dry eye in the crowd, because everyone could feel the love between the couple. It was as tangible and substantial as the people themselves. Dumbledore then said, "The rings", and Ron gave Draco the ring for Jamie, and 'Mione gave Jamie her ring for Draco. Draco then slid the ring onto Jamie's left ring finger, saying, "With this ring, I bind myself to thee", and Jamie did the same, also saying, "With this ring, I bnd myself to thee." Dumbledore then put his hand on top of Draco and Jamie's joined hands, and he said, "Draco, do you give yourself to Jamie fully?" He grinned and said, "I do", and he then asked Jamie, "Jamie, do you give yourself to Draco fully?" Jamie nodded and said, "I do!" Dumbledore then said, "Everyone, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Draco Malfoy. You may kiss the bride." Draco grinned, said, "Finally!" and everyone laughed, including Jamie, as he pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply.

Later, the chairs on the lawn had been replaced by tables, and everyone was congratulating the newly married couple. Lily came up to them, pulled Draco into a fierce hug, and said, "Oh, my handsome son-in-law! Congratulations!" He laughed and said, "Thank you…mom!" She beamed at him, and she moved to congratulate her daughter. Narcissa and Lucius came up and congratulated him, then James came up to him with his granddaughter in his arms and said," Congrats, son! This little angel wants to congratulate you too!" and he handed Regan to Draco, who took her and said, "Hey, beautiful! Did you behave for you grandma and grandpa?" Regan just put her hand on Draco's face and cooed, and Draco caught her fingers with his mouth. Regan giggled and reached out for James, and Draco handed her back to him.

Then, after everyone had eaten, Lucius stood up and said, " I have an announcement to make! Narcissa, James, Lily and myself pitched in and paid for a honeymoon to……..Paris! You kids have fun!" and he winked at Jamie and Draco, and Draco jumped up, pulled Jamie up, swept her into his arms and said, "Thanks, dad!" and, with Jamie giggling and everyone else laughing, he Apparated.
