Draco & I spent the night making love before falling into a deep sleep, I dreamed off our wedding.
I didn't want to set high expectations; I didn't want the hassle of worrying about every little thing going wrong.
I just want a smooth, memorable wedding day; one I knew I would cherish forever.
It was Sunday, the day before the wedding and my bachelorette party.
Draco and I spent the morning together before meeting our families for lunch.
I was happy to sneak back home with him for a few more hours; the guys were showing up around five to kidnap him.
He was going to Blaises house; I was sure the party would measure up; we're talking about Slytherins after all.
Meanwhile Ashley, Tanya, Jade, Kat and Daphne are going to be hanging out here with me at the manor.
I found myself becoming agitated as the time passed; Draco found this amusing.
We were standing in the living room when the boys popped in, one after another.
I looked at each of them; my eyes going back to Draco whose arms went around me, pulling me to him.
He didn't mind staying, in fact he preferred it; however the guys wouldn't back down and neither would the girls.
We both agreed to stay in, just a night of fun with our friends; I couldn't drink anyways, not like I wanted too.
"Damn she's fine" Marcus says looking me over for the first time since Hogwarts.
Wow…nice Marcus.
My brow rose slightly, I looked up at Draco who was glaring at him.
Marcus smirks, "she's not married yet my boy."
Draco rolls his eyes and looks down at me, my brow still rose.
"Nice" I say smiling slightly, looking down at the floor.
"Well you've grown up, I can't believe it's really you Astoria" says Theo, another sight for sore eyes.
Draco pulls me in closer, smiling down at me; I do the same, leaning my head on his chest.
"The one and only" I tell him, smiling softly.
"Do you remember me, I'm…" I cut him off with a soft laugh, "Of course I do. Theodore Nott and…Marcus Flint" I say looking at the two of them.
"The one and only" Marcus says smirking at me.
"Hmm" I whisper to myself, smiling the best I could at him; I could see Draco's glare from the corner of my eye.
This guy had Slytherin written all over him.
"You still had some of those chocolate bars, I'm taking them with me" Blaise says as he walks into the room, putting half of one in his mouth.
I smile, laughing at him, "Go for it" I tell him.
Blaise grinned and threw his arm around my shoulders, "thanks and just so you know, I want more."
I laugh once again; my eyes were pulled to the fireplace as a loud pop sounded, Ashley stood there in all her glory.
"Hello" she says smiling at all of us.
"Hey" the boys all said, well except for Marcus; he tried his charm once again.
"Why hello love" he tells her, Ashley's brow rises at his forwardness, I held back a laugh.
Derrick pushed his head roughly, "Shut it" he tells him, we all laughed.
Derrick looks at Ashley before grinning, "Hey" he tells her, giving her a soft kiss.
She smiles as she wraps her arm around him.
"So are we ready to party" she asks, looking at me with a grin on her face.
"I'm ready to…go to sleep" I suggest, shrugging my shoulders.
Ashley laughs while the boys snort, "Sleep?" Theo asked.
Draco's hand brushes my face and I look up at him.
"I believe you may have to work on her party attitude Ash" Draco tells her, his eyes focused on mine.
Ashley laughs, "No worries, you will be in the spirit before you know it. It's going to be awesome, you'll see."
She held her signature smile, I couldn't help but smile at her.
I shake my head, "I don't see why he has to leave" I lay my forehead on his chest.
Draco smiles, his lips kissing my hair.
"Tradition" Blaise says.
"Blah" I tell him, sounding glum.
Draco laughs, his arms held me tighter as I secured my arms around him once more.
Another pop sounded through the room, Daphne showed up next.
Blaise smiled big, "Shut up Marcus" he says quickly, throwing him a glare.
"What?" Marcus asks, trying to look innocent.
Blaise and Daphne embrace and kiss sweetly.
Draco had his nose in my hair; my forehead was still lying on his chest, my face buried into him.
"What's wrong?" Daphne asks.
"She doesn't want him to leave" Blaise says grinning.
"Oh come on, its tradition" Daphne cries out.
"Blah" I say once more, Draco laughed once more.
Before Daphne could say anything, another loud pop sounded; Jane and Tanya were here.
They all greeted one another.
"What's wrong?" Tanya asked, standing next to Ashley.
"She doesn't want Draco to leave" Ashley tells her.
"Aw how cute…" Tanya says, "…Of course it's tradition though" she finishes.
I sigh heavy, a slight growl behind it.
"Oh don't do that, it's such a tease" Draco whispers which makes me smile.
"Blah" I say once more, Derrick and Blaise snickering.
Kat showed up next, "Hello people" she says brightly, standing next to Jade.
"What's up little red" Blaise says, making Kat smile.
It quickly falters as she looks over at me, "Oh no, what's wrong?" she asks, seeing my face in Draco's chest.
"Oh nothing" Tanya says still grinning.
"Astoria's not really in the party mood" Ashley adds, also grinning.
"She wants Draco to stay here" Daphne finished.
"No! You can't! It's bad luck…its tradition" Kat says.
She was gawking as I snapped my head up and looked around at everyone.
"If somebody says tradition one more time…" I start, glaring at them all.
"Tradition" says Marcus, that ignorant smirk plastered across his face.
If I only had my wand, I felt like my eyes could burn holes through him.
His smirk widened, "look at that glare, you've got some fire in you. Feisty little Ravenclaw."
I breathe in hard, my body turning more towards him, Draco's grip tightened around me.
"Shut up Marcus" Draco says, glaring at him too.
"Alright, alright; let these two have a moment, then its goodbye" Daphne says looking at me smiling.
I breathe in hard, holding it until everyone left the room.
I let out slowly, my eyes dropping to the ground.
Draco's hand found my cheek and I lifted my eyes to his.
"This is silly" I say, watching him grin.
"As much as I'm going to miss you, I know you will have great time with your friends. Relax, try not to worry so much and have fun" he tells me, his thumb brushing my cheek slowly.
I breathe in and out hard before swallowing softly, nodding at him.
"No cold feet" I ask him.
He grins, "Not a chance, the ceremony is something I can't wait for."
I smile at him.
"What about your feet? You're not planning on running away from me are you? I would terribly heartbroken left at the alter" he tells me, smiling at my gawking expression.
I laugh and smack him playfully, "I would never do that, now you…"
He laughs, "Never."
I smile at him, "Good."
He laughs once more, his hands taking ahold of my face; our lips touched for a few sweet kisses.
I rubbed his cheek softly and his lips pressed harder.
"I love you" he tells me, our foreheads resting on each other.
"I love you too" I say back, biting my bottom lip.
We kissed a few more times before the cavalry came back in the room.
"Okay, time to say goodbye" Tanya says smiling at us.
The girls pile on the couch, Ashley and Daphne giving their goodbyes to Derrick and Blaise.
"See you tomorrow ladies" Theo says.
They all wave, shouting their goodbyes to him as he disappeared in the fireplace.
I was back in Draco's arms; our grasps tight as we hugged each other.
I kept a small smile on my lips, very small; I still thought this was all a bit unnecessary.
"Ladies" Marcus says smirking at all of us once more, I laugh while the girls said bye.
I watched as Marcus stepped into the fireplace, disappearing in the flames.
"David texted, he'll be at my house soon" Blaise says standing near the fireplace, Derrick too.
I lean back from Draco and sigh hard, "Go have fun" I say looking up at him.
He smiles, "You too."
I smiled small, laughing it off.
"Oh she will" Jade says smirking at me.
I smiled at her before turning my attention back to Draco.
He leaned down and kissed me softly one last time.
He leaned back up smiling, I was biting my lip again; I gave the best smile I could.
"Come on dude" Blaise says pulling Draco to the fireplace.
The girls hopped up and stand around me now that he was away from me; I held in my grin while they giggled.
Draco turned and looked at me once more.
"I will see you at the alter" he tells me in a hard tone, his eyes were absorbing, as if he were trying to remember my face.
I smile softly, "I'll be the one in white."
The boys smile big while Draco laughs, "very convincing" he says.
I laugh now, along with the girls.
With one last long look at me, he turns and leaves; Derrick right after him.
Blaise smiles at us, "have fun ladies" he tells us.
Daphne smiles big, running over to him for one last kiss.
"Don't make him late" I tell him, Blaise laughs.
"Don't worry; I definitely cant survive the wrath of the Greengrass sisters. He'll be there."
Daphne and I laughed, sharing a glance; Blaise kissed her fast before jumping in the flames.
I breathe in and out hard, my eyes resting on the now dull fire.
My eyes soon traveled to Daphne's face as she skipped across the room and stood in front of me.
"You better have something good planned" I tell her.
She smiles, the rest of the girls laughing.
"Oh we do" Jade says, now sitting down in a chair.
I turn and look at her, that Slytherin smirk across her face.
My eyes narrowed as she bent down and grabbed something off the ground.
I was gawking at as she waved a black console at me, all the girls were smirking now.
"Is that what I think it is?" I ask her walking closer to her.
Jade smiles, "Yes, time to party right?"
All the girls shouted and yelled, huge smiles on their faces.
"Let's go" Ashley says grabbing my arm and dragging me out of the room.
We all end up in the den; I could see this being the party room.
"Now before we get started" Daphne says smiling at all of us.
She waves her wand a ton of gift bags pop up.
"Aw Daph" they all say, grabbing their bags instantly.
I just smile, "What is all this?" I sit down.
She takes out a T-shirt from my bag, purple and white.
'The Bride' was written on the front; I looked around at the rest of them, they held them up for everyone to see.
'I'm the Maid of Honor' Daphne's read as she laid mine down.
The rest of them read 'I'm the Gorgeous Bridesmaid'
I smiled, "Okay I'll admit these are cute."
They all laughed and we quickly changed into the T-shirts.
"We definitely have to wear these tomorrow to the church" Ashley says, all of us nodding.
Daphne smiled and placed something else around me; a purple sash, decorated in glitter and bright letters spelling 'Bride to be'.
I laughed slightly; watching the rest of them put theirs on.
"Nice" I say laughing once more.
"Now that were fittingly dressed for the occasion, let's" Daphne starts.
"Play some Dance Central 2" Tanya finished, all the girls shouting.
I laughed at them; they were too cute.
Jade got everything set up while I levitated the table out of the way, giving us well enough space to dance and have fun.
It was hard not to enjoy myself, even though I did miss Draco.
All of the smiles and laughing from my friends, the singing and dancing; I was having a good time.
We danced for hours it seemed covering Usher, Rihanna, Britney, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Christ Brown, Flo Rida, Far East Movement and Willow Smith.
When the first Dance Central came out, we played it constantly so we were pretty good at the game.
Where do you think we got our practice for the club?
"Okay, I'm ready to eat, I'm starving" says Kat, everyone smiling and nodding.
"The baby loves you" I tell her, she laughs and throws an arm around me.
We all head into the kitchen; I was surprised yet again.
Ashley waved her wand; I was gawking once more as prepared food covered the countertops.
I smiled big at all the different platters and trays; it was everything a pregnant bride could ask for.
We had pizza and pasta, delicious filet mignon's and garden salad; there were several tray's containing cheese, fruit and shrimp.
Lined along the bar was dessert which brought the biggest smile to my face; six iced over chocolate milkshakes in large glasses, wrapped in purple ribbon. The top's where covered in whip cream and cherries, purple straw stood tall in the middle.
I shake my head, "guys this is amazing, really…I don't even know where to begin" I say, we all laugh.
I was pulled to the table and from there we stuffed our faces with delicious food; I swear I felt huge before I even started in on my milkshake.
It was going on eight thirty and apparently I had more thing to do before we called it a night.
"Gifts!" Ashley says pulling me down onto the couch as we all gathered in the den once again.
"More gifts?" I ask, smiling.
"For you silly, not for us" Daphne tells me, I shake my head at her.
They all waved their wands and I smiled as gifts surrounded me; they were all wrapped in purple and white, beautiful bows going around each box.
"Aw there pretty, I don't want to open them" I tell them, they simply laugh.
I got a very sexy white bridal hoodie, very light and thin so you could wear it almost anywhere.
A lot of it was lingerie, which made me laugh; I preferred Draco's shirts over this kind of stuff.
Never the less, I should use them while I can; before long, I won't be able to see my toes.
I did have a few favorites, a halter baby doll dress for one; it was very seductive and it was stretchy so it would cling perfectly to your body shape.
It also came with a matching V string which all the girls went giggly over; I just shook my head, blushing of course.
I got a satin lace slip, which was dark green and black; they believe Draco will like it the best, for obvious reasons.
It was mid-thigh length, pure silk; it was very beautiful and of course our preferred colors.
I got a few gift sets and spa cards; a reminder to keep girl time with all of them after I'm married off, I laughed.
Every bride gets something crazy; leave it to Jade to be the one to give it to me.
Edible chocolate cream for one; which I found to hilarious for words, and a gift set of massage oils which I will definitely use.
"Wow, nice Jade" I tell her, everyone laughing, mainly looking at the edible chocolate.
"Don't use it all at once" she tells me, winking; I blush slightly while laughing.
I hugged and thanked them for everything, it truly was a great party; I waved my wand and everything went to its rightful place.
The girls sent me upstairs to take a relaxing shower and get ready for bed while they cleaned up.
I argued with them for about ten minutes, I could help; of course I didn't win.
So I went upstairs and instead of taking a shower, I took a nice hot bubble bath.
Fifteen minutes past and all the girls walked in wondering where I was.
I simply smiled and waved, blowing some bubbles in the air; they laughed and smiled.
I pulled the plug before grabbing my towel and wrapping it around me.
I got dressed quickly in my closet, the girls still hanging out by my vanity and the sinks.
"I love this bathroom" Kat says looking around at everything.
"It's the best one in the house" I tell her, walking to the sink.
I brush my teeth and then we all go back into the bedroom.
We say our goodnights; I thank them again for the party.
I watch them scatter in different directions in the hallway, all heading to their own guest room.
"Get some beauty sleep, tomorrow is going to be a really long day" Daph tells me, standing next to her door across the hall from me.
I smile at her, "I know, I can't even imagine what I'm going to be like tomorrow."
"A nervous wreck" I hear from down the hall, Ashley; she was laughing.
I laugh and nod, "Yeah that about covers it."
I wave at Daphne once more before yelling goodnight down the hallway.
I shut my door and turned, looking around the room; my eyes fell on the bed.
I breathe in softly and make my over to it; instead of lying on my side, I laid on Draco's.
I turned the lights off, putting my wand on the nightstand; I let the curtains down around the bed and got comfortable.
The evening was great, now I was in my bed…alone.
I curled up tighter to my pillow, breathing in and out hard.
I was back to missing Draco now….
'Look on the bright side Astoria' I thought to myself…
I let my eyes rest on the empty space beside me.
'I'll see him tomorrow…' I sigh lightly, 'I can't believe tomorrow I'll be a Malfoy'
Thinking about that brought a smile to my face.
I brushed my stomach lightly, looking down at it.
"I love you Scorpius, goodnight" I whisper softly.
I breathed in heavy once more; soon enough I drifted off to sleep.
