Christmas had approached, and life was settling in well finally. Neville was thriving at the hospital, and Luna and Xeno were coming for a visit during New Years. The group planned on two Christmases, the official one spent back in the UK because of the twins' wedding. But they would celebrate a few days before, here in Romania. They planned on next year celebrating there, this was home, but they wouldn't miss the big day. Viktor's parents were invited to come to the manor for the early Christmas, and were happy to accept. They knew their son and Fabian had only dated for a few months, but had no doubt Fabian would be their son in law one day. Charlie would be making a trip to France, after his brothers' wedding. He and Fleur had admitted they were dating, after their third date. He had met the Delacaurs a number of times, but as his brother's in laws. The couple had been surprised, but like Gabrielle, they supported the relationship. They were far more fond of Charlie, than of Bill. Harry and Viktor had accepted the invite as well, and would be in France. Harry would also visit Oliver while there, his friend having been here for his birthday and back home for Albus' trial, but lived in Paris. The holidays were definitely going to be special that year.
Christmas had gone well, the early one, with the Krums. They headed to the UK, where as odd as it seemed, they were guests of the Malfoys. Charlie was staying at the Burrow with his brothers, but the others were at the manor.
On Boxing Day they were at the Burrow helping the twins get ready. "Ready for this?"
Fred smiled. "Yes."
George nodded. "Maybe a good thing we're getting married today, no hang over."
Fabian clapped Fred on the back. "I am so happy to stand by your side."
Fred hugged him. "I am glad I won the drawing of straws."
George saw his surprise. "All of us would have liked you."
Charlie had a fake pout. "I am insulted."
George turned to Charlie. "You know I am happy to have you by my side."
Fabian smirked. "Besides, it's Percy who should feel left out."
Percy shrugged. "I am just happy to be invited."
Fred clapped him on the back. "You know we couldn't do today without you anymore."
Since the summer, the twins and Percy had grown closer together. Penny was due in May with the first Prewett grandchild. Like Charlie and the twins, Percy had changed his last name to Prewett recently. Neither Angie or Alicia had siblings, so Katie was standing up for Alicia and Oliver for Angie, making Charlie the only non-dream-team member. Percy had sworn he wasn't hurt he wasn't in the wedding party, just happy to come. They had planned a small wedding at the Burrow, and a honeymoon to France, but Fabian had commandeered both. After all they had done for him and seen him through; he wanted both to be perfect. And he was becoming more and more like Lucius, you couldn't say no to him.
Among the many homes Fabian inherited, was Potter Manor. He had been there before but as a small baby, his adoptive parents lived there until James' parents had been killed. Fabian found the gardens had an incredible forest in it, and the twins had approved. Not in the forest, but on the edge, with the snow covered trees as a background, the wedding was outside with a heating spell. The trees were filled with lights and snow, and white chairs lined a simple aisle done in Gryffindor colors, but bricks of no-slip ice made to look like cobblestone. The chairs were strung with bows of Christmas greens along the aisle, and filled with Gryffindor colored bulbs and daisies. Daisies were a favorite of both brides.
The minister smiled when both brides were up front. Both girls chose muggle inspired gowns. "And who give these brides away in marriage?"
Mr. Spinet and Mr. Johnson spoke together. "Their mothers and we do."
He turned to Fred. "Do you Frederick Gideon Prewett take Alicia as your wife and bond, united in body and soul, till death?"
"I do."
"And do you Alicia Rosanna Spinet take Fredrick as your husband and bond, united in body and soul, till death?"
"I do."
"And do you George Fabian Prewett take Angelina as your wife and bond, united in body and soul, till death?"
"I do."
"And do you Angelina Marie Johnson take George as your husband and bond, united in body and soul, till death?"
"I do."
The four witnesses gave the rings and their oaths, as they witnessed the vows. Fabian was happy to be there not only for Fred, but for all four of them, who he was so close to. As they were pronounced married and exchanged kissed, it was no surprise to any, he could have been witness to all of them. He shared a smile with Viktor, as he went over with the group to sign wedding contracts, hoping it would be them some day. He knew it would be, he could already picture it. And if his dads and Moody hadn't chased him off already, he was sure Viktor would stay.
The wedding moved inside, to the smaller of two ballrooms. Fabian was told his adopted grandparents used to celebrate Christmas in the room.
Christmas having passed, the theme was not overdone. The walls climbed with green bows, but no ornaments, filled with more daisies. The tables and chairs were done in house colors, and center pieces were a quaffle with daisies inside. There was a band, and a three course meal.
Alicia claimed Fabian for a third dance, after her husband and dad. "Thank you."
Fabian smiled. "I wanted today to be perfect for all of you."
Alicia assured him. "It was more than any of us hoped for."
Fabian smiled. "I hope you enjoy your honeymoons."
Alicia tried. "Going to tell me where we are going?"
Fabian shook his head. "Would ruin the surprise."
Alicia laughed. "The twins have rubbed off on you."
Fabian didn't deny it. "Your wedding gift will be waiting when you get back."
Alicia stopped. "The house and wedding were enough."
Fabian shrugged. "You can't refuse a gift, besides this one can't be returned."
He had ordered some renovations done to the house. Some were being done, money from the girls' families since he was covering the wedding, but he was seeing to the whole main floor, and two floors the couples were living on. He had the second and third floors expanded to add another bedroom to the second and two to the third, so each floor had three bedrooms. He knew both couples hoped to need a nursery soon. As the wedding slowed, with fireworks and cake, he was so happy for them. He was sending George and Angie to Greece, and Alicia and Fred to China, choices he knew suited both brides. As he watched them leave, he was so happy to give this to his brothers, after all they had done for him.
Viktor drew him into his arms for a long tender kiss. "I hope this is us one day."
The wedding had been amazing, and Fabian and the others headed to France. Neville was the only one who didn't come. He had the time from work, but he was taking Luna and Xeno to Romania with him. Remus, Severus, Moody and his dad were all coming. His dad and Moody were chaperones in their mind, Remus and Severus were invited. The two had not admitted it, but he knew they were dating, or were close to it. He noticed his cousin, Tonks, was coming for New Years. They were to celebrate the actual night in Paris, Oliver would be with them.
Charlie was a bit nervous, as they went to the Delacaur estate. He had met the couple a lot, but as a brother in law. They knew he was dating Fleur, and approved, but he was still nervous. Fabian was glad he could be there for Charlie.
On New Year 's Eve they went to head to Paris. He looked at Remus and Severus. "Are you coming?"
They shook their head and Remus said. "We have plans."
Viktor whispered. "Don't want us to see them kissing at midnight."
Severus heard. "Don't worry, your chaperones are going."
Fabian groaned. "I love my father, I do, but I am a grown man."
Remus reminded him. "At least Tonks can distract Moody for you."
Viktor agreed. "Maybe we can send them with you, you guys can have a double date."
Moody had come into the room. "It's not a date."
Fabian turned to him. "Keep telling yourself that."
Viktor slipped an arm around him. "We should be going."
Tonks appeared next to Moody. "Where do you think you're going?"
Moody looked at Fabian and back. "To…."
Tonks stopped him and shared a look with Remus. "No, we are heading for dinner with these two."
Moody growled. "Someone needs to keep an eye on him."
Remus laughed. "Fabian is a big boy."
Moody smirked. "It wasn't Fabian I meant."
That was met by laughter, but Moody was convinced to go with them. He was reminded Regulus was planning on going with the boys. The man would likely never date, and if he did, many years down the line. He was still mourning the loss of his soul mate, and getting his life back on track. Moody and Tonks were no more willing to admit to the world they were dating, then Remus or Severus, and Tonks had agreed to the dinner. She knew her mother would not be happy, she had not been pleased when she thought her daughter was dating Remus, based on rumors. It had nothing to do with being a wolf, but his age, and Moody was much older. But she was too old to take advice from her mother.
Fabian and Viktor met Charlie and Fleur and Oliver in Paris. To his surprise Katie was there, not as Oliver's date, but she had come for a visit. He did have a date, and a familiar one. Harry had never thought in a million years, he would see Oliver with a Slytherin.
Oliver smirked. "Why so shocked? You knew I was bi."
Fabian shook his head. "Before you came out, you said you'd date a man or a hippogriff before you dated a snake."
Oliver shrugged. "I guess I was right on one."
Adrian kissed him. "My friends think I have lost my mind."
Katie shook her head. "I never thought I'd see the day."
Oliver explained. "Adrian had been working in sports medicine here in Paris. I met him at the hospital again."
Adrian added. "I guess having a thick skull comes in handy some time."
Fabian laughed at the fake pout. "Well I think you are cute together."
Viktor groaned. "I can tell you who is not cute together."
Charlie grimaced. "How the hell did they find us?"
Fleur shook her head. "It looks like they haven't seen us."
Fabian went to lead Viktor away. "Let's keep it that way."
Oliver motioned. "I know a great place to go."
Hermione and Ron were seen walking up the road, and didn't see them. Fleur knew from her parents, but didn't want to ruin the mood of the day. It seemed the couple had moved to France, finding getting work in the UK was near impossible. Hermione had ended up enrolling in Muggle College in hopes of law school, and was working at a book store. Ron had some paper pushing job with the French ministry, in Percy's old field. Molly, Arthur and Ginny were the only ones in the UK, but the couple were considering a move, when Ginny was one school. Fabian still had to deal with Ginny when done school, but he wasn't going to let the others ruin the night.
Fabian was amazed where they arrived. "The view is amazing."
Oliver pointed down. "It should be."
Viktor realized they were balanced on the top of the Eiffel tower. "I have heard of this place."
Fleur agreed. "But we'll never get reservations."
Adrian smiled. "Good thing I thought ahead."
A host came over. "Your table is ready."
Fleur looked around. "This has to be the best view of the city."
Viktor turned to Fabian. "I would say we need another chair for your father, but I haven't seen him."
Fabian shook his head. "Either have I."
Viktor kissed him. "I hope it's not bad, I am not missing him."
Fabian laughed. "Not at all."
Regulus watched from a distance, but he left after a time. Remus had been right, his son didn't need a chaperone. For a moment he felt a pang, he was the only one who didn't have someone to share tonight with. But as he rung in the New Years back at the estate, he was just grateful to have his son back in his life once again. Fabian had similar thoughts, as he and his friends rung it in, from the restaurant. The wizard restaurant had a party planned, and they spent the evening there, and watched the fireworks. He was grateful for having his father in his life, and all those who loved him, even the meddler Moody. He was grateful for his new job, and his friends old and new. And most of all, for Viktor.
At midnight Viktor drew him into his arms for a long kiss. "To make sure we spend the next year together. And all the rest to come."
An: So I decided the two other options for Harry/Fabian's match, should match up together. Oliver is bi, but with Adrian. Hermione/Ron and the other red heads will appear again, but I promised Fluff if you continued to review, so here it is.
Please Review.
