Chapter 28

"Luna your giving birth to our children without us being married first,"

"Rolf it'll be fine, stay on your expedition and we'll get married when you get back from the whole year,"

"Well what are you going to do for the four months alone with the twins, I won't be there to help and I want to be there. I'm coming home to marry you my love,"

Luna Lovegood was reading through past owls she and Rolf had sent back and forth to one another. She had told Rolf about the pregnancy finally at the beginning of the fifth month. Immediately Rolf owled her telling her he was coming home but she had refused saying to stay at the expedition he was enjoying so much.

"If it's a job that means me having to be away from you and my children then I don't want that job," he had told her in another previous owl.

When Luna had told her friends about the wedding, Ginny and Hannah helped her sorting out while Hermione went out of control with planning. Rolf was still away and wasn't going to come back until the night before the wedding so they had to sort out Rolf's suit and his doings. Rolf's only task was to write his vows and make sure he was there on the day. But it was also two weeks away before her due date. She had found out it was twins on her ultrasound at the peak of her four months of pregnancy.

It was the last day of September and snow was lightly falling down in Hogsmeade, in two days Luna was getting married. As she was looking through a baby name book there was a knock on the door of her flat. Heaving a sigh, Luna stood up with her big bump extending out in front of her. At the front door was Hermione.

"Luna why aren't you dressed yet? We have a rehearsal dinner in forty-five minutes," said Hermione, panicked. Luna groaned, here we go, she thought. Hermione hadn't stopped with planning as soon as Luna had told her about the wedding and that it would only be Luna sorting out everything as Rolf was away still. But as the weeks went Hermione had gone from helpful friend to manic planner, and it was driving Luna nuts.

"Since when did we have a rehearsal dinner planned?" asked Luna.

"I told you last night, hasn't Pig arrived here yet? No. Oh well now you know, now get dressed," said Hermione. Luna went upstairs to shower and get changed, finally putting on her makeup.

"Are you ready yet? Were five minutes late!" shouted Hermione. In her tiny bedroom Luna growled and went downstairs where Hermione was waiting with her muggle clipboard. Together they flooed to the reception hall at muggle Lumley Castle hotel where Hermione had thought would be the best place for the wedding. Inside were a few of Luna and Rolf's families andtheir friends dressed up for the rehearsal. The children were running around and playing with one another.

"Alright everybody the bride is here," shouted Hermione. People looked around and smiled, Luna greeted them with hugs and kisses. When Luna got over to Ron, Harry and Ginny they each gave her a hug in turn.

"Hermione's not driving you mad still is she? She insisted last night on doing a rehearsal dinner, I couldn't stop her," said Ron, holding Hugo in his arms as Hugo was reaching over and squirming to grab a chunk of little Lily's hair as she sat in Harry's arms. Luna smiled slightly and took Hugo from Ron.

"I don't really mind, I would just find it easier if it was kept simple, all this planning is getting me stressed," said Luna.

"Well you know that's not a good thing, you need to keep those two in there for another two weeks," said Harry. Luna nodded and passed Hugo back to Ron.

"Luna! Twenty seconds maximum to greeting people!" chimed Hermione as she marched by. Luna bit her lip and the others stared sympathetically at her and Luna moved on to greet other friends and family. At lunchtime they gathered around the tables while Hermione stood at the top organising where people should be sitting to eat. As Luna sat in her seat with her elbow resting on the table and the hand cupping her cheek and chin, she was thinking of Rolf and missing him terribly. Her mind drifted off to when she first met him…

"Guys come on, Newt Scamander is doing a book signing in Flourish and Bolts if we don't go now he'll be gone," shouted Hermione. She was trying to persuade Harry, Ron, Ginny, Neville andHannah to come with her but they were to busy lazing around at Harry and Ginny's house in Godric's Hallow.

"He'll be there again," said Ron. Lying on one of the settee's while Harry and Ginny shared the other one and Neville sat on a chair with Hannah in his lap.

"No he won't Ron, he's a hundred and one years old, this is the eighth year his book has been out so I think this maybe his last signing," argued Hermione. The door opened behind Hermione and Luna came in.

"I'll go with you Hermione, ever since I was little I have longed to meet Newton," said Luna, dreamily. Hermione beamed, they asked the others one more time but they refused so with two cracks Luna and Hermione arrived at the Leaky Cauldron. They left the pub and made their way down to Flourish and Bolts where a large crowd was gathering. As they arrived, the crowd sighed in disappointment as news moved down saying Newt had left. Disappointed themselves Hermione and Luna decided to do some shopping as they were there. As they set off down the street, they didn't see a young brown haired man running in their direction muttering to himself and not paying attention.

"-Need to apparate grandad away from Bolt's then I can…omph," there was a collision as the man ran straight into Luna and she dropped her book on the cobbled street. "Oh I'm sorry, let me get that," said the man. He bent down and picked up the book then looked up at Luna and she looked down at him. Everything in that moment seemed to go, the people, the shops, the noise and it was just the two of them.

"Err hi, my names Rolf," stuttered Rolf. Gazing up at Luna.

"I'm Luna,"

"Now the ice sculptures will go there, there and there. I want to place an order for a hundred white roses please," Hermione walked past talking on a muggle mobile.

"Hermione!" called Luna. Hermione stopped talking and looked at Luna. "I don't want you planning my wedding anymore, you've done too much already can you just leave it!" shouted Luna. Hermione shut up and opened and closed her mouth, not sure what to say.

"Well if that's how you feel," said Hermione. After another hour Luna went home very frustrated. Sighing Luna slumped into an armchair and closed her eyes. But then hearing footsteps from inside the bedroom Luna pulled out her wand and snapped open her eyes. Getting up Luna walked slowly to the lounge door, as she heard the footsteps in the room next door edge closer to the bedroom door.

"Luna?" asked the stranger. Luna's eyes brightened and she grinned, recognising the voice.

"Rolf?" she asked, happily. Each turning around the corner Luna clasped eyes on Rolf as his green eyes gazed at hers. Rolf's dark brown hair was longer and he had a beard after not shaving or trimming for numerous weeks.

"Holy Merlin, you're as big as a house," said Rolf, gaping. Standing back and looking at her bump.

"I am having twins," said Luna. Rolf beamed and kissed her and Luna wrapped her arms around Rolf's neck and kissed him back.

"How come your home early?" asked Luna. Going into the bedroom with Rolf so he could finish unpacking.

"I got fed up and I couldn't stand being away from you anymore so I came back," explained Rolf. Luna sat down on the bed as Rolf waved his wand around directing where the clothes and his other bits and bobs should go. When he finished he went over to Luna and lay on the bed, bringing Luna to lay down on her back as well.

"I love you," said Luna. Rolf gently brushed his hand across Luna's bump as he kissed her.

"I love you to," he said.

The next day in the evening was Luna and Rolf's hen and stag party night, Rolf went out to town with the boys while Luna went out to a quiet dinner with all her friends. The snow was still falling down and covering the roads in white blankets. At the evening Luna was to stay at Ginny and Harry's house while Rolf was staying at his friends Peter's house. Luna had apologised to Hermione before leaving for the dinner but Hermione wouldn't have it and apologised herself to Luna for getting out of control.

The wedding morning arrived on Friday 2nd October. Already at the Grimmauld Place it was manic station. James, Albus, Lily, Rose and Hugo were in one of the rooms with Kreacher looking after them while all the adults got ready and help prepare and sort out everything. Luna was in the bathroom with Hannah as Hannah did Luna's hair. When Hannah had finished Luna stood up and her bump clenched, Luna put a hand on it took a deep breath.

"Luna are you alright?" asked Hannah. Luna nodded, but then her waters broke.

"Oww….Ok…Hannah do you want to start on makeup now?" asked Luna. Hannah gaped at her.

"I don't think your makeup is coming next," said Hannah. She went downstairs with Luna and informed the others that Luna's waters had broken. There was even more of a rush then, Hermione, Ginny and Hannah took Luna to St Mungo's along with the kids while Ron, Harry and Neville apparated to the wedding guest's houses to inform them Luna had gone into labour.

At St Mungo's Luna was in one of the delivery rooms waiting for her twins to come and for Rolf to arrive, she needed him. In the room at the moment were James, Albus, Lily and Rose and Hugo behaving well and sitting quietly on the chairs, Ginny and Hannah were comforting Luna through her contractions and Hermione was talking to the Mid-Healer. After half an hour Rolf arrived dressed in his suit and he came bursting into the room and rushed over to Luna.

"I was at the castle with the minister when Ron arrived, are you alright? Are you comfortable?" asked Rolf, a bit panicked.

"Yes Rolf, I'm fine now that your here," said Luna. Rolf smiled and kissed her. A few minutes later the door opened again and the minister for Luna and Rolf's wedding came through the doors.

"What are you doing here?" asked Ginny.

"I have come to marry Luna and Rolf," he explained. Hermione, Hannah, Ginny, Luna and Rolf frowned.

"Now?" They all asked.

"Yes. I do have other weddings to perform today so if they would like it done now as all their friends and family are here, I can give them a simple wedding," he explained. Luna looked up at Rolf and he looked down at her.

"What do you think?" asked Luna. Rolf thought for a second.

"I think I want to marry you today," said Rolf. Luna was thankful then Hermione was around as she managed to get, Rolf's closest friends, his grandparents including Newton, and Rolf's parents into the room along with Luna's father and her closest friends into the delivery room. The Mid-Healers weren't particularly happy but Luna was only four centimeters along so they still had time.

"We are here today to join Rolf Scamander and Luna Lovegood in holy matramony," The wedding progressed, every now and again there was a gasp as Luna had her contractions but Rolf was there holding her hand and comforting her.

"Now who has the rings?" Asked the minister. Ginny and Peter looked and searched their pockets but found no rings.

"No worries," said Hermione. She pulled out her wand andtransfigured two pieces of string into solid gold rings, one was thin the other just a bit thicker. She gave them the minister while others gaped at Hermione's magic skills, even the children gaped in awe. The wedding continued in the morning and soon the minister announced Rolf andLuna husband and wife.

"You may now kiss the bride," said the minister. Rolf went in to kiss Luna on the lips but she doubled over and clutched her bump as a large contraction came. The Mid-Healers rushed over.

"Ten centimetres, it's time Mrs Scamander," said Mid Healer, Laura Foster. Luna nodded and the Mid-Healers got the delivery room ready for the birth of the twins. The family and friends left the room, giving Luna hugs and kisses and Rolf handshakes and hugs.

"Alright Luna, I need you to start pushing on the next contraction," said Mid-Healer Foster. Luna nodded, tears were held in her eyes as she grabbed Rolf's hand, he bit down on his lip and didn't say anything. The next fifteen minutes Luna pushed each time her contractions came.

"Excellent Luna, I see the head, keep going,"

Luna pushed once more and Mid-Healer Foster held up her first baby boy and only a minute apart his baby brother was born. Both of them were cleaned up as Luna and Rolf watched, both of them blissfully happy.

"Have you thought of any names for these two?" asked Rolf suddenly realising his children may not have names.

"I found two names I like, Lorcan and Lysander. What do you think?" asked Luna. Rolf smiled.

"I rather like them actually, Lorcan for the eldest and Lysander for the youngest," said Rolf. Luna was then handed her twins, she held Lorcan in her left arm and Lysander in her right arm. Both of them were pale little babies, with scrunched up faces and blond fuzz on top of their heads. Luna beamed and cried with joy as Rolf grinned with pride. Lorcan and Lysander opened their tiny beady very light blue eyes and gazed up at their parents for the first time, Luna and Rolf Scamander smiled more.

"Can I kiss the bride?" asked Rolf. Luna smiled and looked up at him.

"You may," she said. Rolf leant down and kissed his wife and Luna responded and kissed her husband.
