"...Marry me, Hermione." Snape whispered in the silkiest whisper that set Hermione's inner organs on fire. She looked up to study the dark eyes of her Potions-Master, she could see the wheels turning in his head, the cunning intelligence shining in his eyes. Hermione cocked her head, and arched her eyebrow gracefully.
"You didn't even need to ask, Severus."
"Just checking." Snape whispered almost shyly as he held Hermione close to him, and the two enjoyed a new level of intimacy as a nearly-wed couple.
"Let's get married right now, tonight." Hermione whispered into Severus's ear, the breath tickling his ear. Seveerus studied Hermione for a long moment. Hermione leaned back, seeing Snape nod after a long moment. She smiled and kissed him right in the middle of the great hall, her eyes sparkling at the moment she caught Severus off-guard with the kiss. She knew he would be furious with her, but she had wanted to seize the moment.
"Do you see what I see?!" Harry growled at Ginny, who was staring at the unconventional couple share a tender kiss in the middle of the dance floor. Ginny smiled and said yes, she saw what Harry saw, that Hermione and Professor Snape were in love. Harry scowled deeply and watched the two glide over to Dumbledore and McGonagall, whispering something to Dumbledore and McGonagall, making her gasp. A few minutes later, the four of them left the Great Hall. Ever so curious, Harry watched them leave the Great Hall, and followed.
Draco Malfoy looked up from his dance with Pansy to see his Head of House kissing the school Know-it-All. Now, he realized why Snape had awarded him the hundred points. He had saved her life for him, and Draco smiled, feeling a warm feeling spread to his toes. He decided he liked the feeling of being their protector. He then noticed Potter giving the couple a dark look and taking off after them towards somewhere in the castle. Draco knew something was going on, and be damned if he would let Potter ruin the one chance of happiness that Professor Snape had achieved. Draco had known Snape his entire life, and never had seen him care for someone so deeply. With a steely resolve and wand set, Draco hurried off to follow Harry, with a stubborn Ginny following him in the darkness.
Each person had no hints the other was being followed. The odd troupe made their way down to Severus's rooms to wed him to Hermione. Dumbledore stood near the tapestry that led to Severus's rooms, a painting of two wolves howling at the moon, with a raven sitting on a fence post. The raven ruffled its feathers and squawked at Snape's commanding password to his rooms.
Draco slipped by, careful not to allow anyone to feel his presence, he knew Ginny was tailing him, the silly girl, and turned to meet her eyes with a silent finger pressed to his lips. Ginny's eyes widened and she nodded ever so silently, making her way to Draco's side, the two watching the intresting event that befell the unconventional pair.
Much to Severus's surprise, he noticed young Malfoy, Draco, tailing him and his soon to be wife. The edges of his mouth curved, and he leaned in to whisper to Hermione of their unexpected guest. Severus chuckled to himself, he had not planned on his wedding being a spectacle, not with so many guests, Snape thought as he turned to Dumbledore and McGonagall, holding Hermione's hands into his.
The couple shared a glance and then stood at attention as Dumbledore married the two quickly and without any ceremony, he knew Severus and Hermione were the kind of people not to dwell on any frivolities. After all, there was a war on.
Draco Malfoy kept his eyes glued on the form of Harry Potter, not liking the feeling he was getting in the pit of his stomach. He held back a gasp as Harry swept by him in a hurry, not wanting to see Severus and Hermione wed. Draco quickly held Ginny back, shushing her with a hand over her mouth, and then letting her go after Harry had been gone for a few long moments. Draco then followed Ginny, knowing lfe would not be the same after this moment. His fater had informed his desire for him to parcipicate in a Death Eater Attack soon, and he had to warn Professor Snape, but that could wait until morning, the professor did deserve a night of happiness in his wife's arms.
