Today was the day that Nicole would finally be wedded to Severus Christopher Snape. She couldn't wait until tonight when the ceremony would take place. The plan was all of their friends and family would come and then they'd all get shocked with the wedding or so Nicole thought. Little did she know how many people already knew about it.
All day Nicole was running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. She wanted to make sure that everything was right for tonight. Sev just sat back and laughed about it. He knew Nicole was going to be like that so it wasn't worth trying to get her to calm down. He knew that she wouldn't be able to sit still until tonight. So he just stayed out of her way and let her go.
Sev? Nicole thought.
Yes? Sev thought back.
Do you think everyone will be mad about being tricked into coming to our wedding? Nicole thought.
No, Nicole your friends love you and are happy for you. They'll be shocked but not mad, Sev thought back.
Thanks, Nicole thought.
Welcome, Sev thought smiling as he went back to his potions.
Nicole went back to attending to Chris. He was hungry right now and wanted to be fed by his mother. After Nicole got Chris cleaned up from lunch she then put him down for his afternoon nap. He loved his room. There were nights that Sev would come back from his lab and see Chris just starring at the ceiling. It was like he was wondering where the players were. And he loved to watch the games between his uncles. He'd try to follow one of them and sometimes got cranky if he couldn't follow his uncles. Angel was the same way. If daddy got out of sight at a game she became cranky. So then Nicole would spot him and point him out to her. After she found daddy she'd be fine well as long as she had her dragon with her.
Later that night
Everyone had just been informed that they were there for a wedding. Nicole had also been informed that five of them knew about the wedding.
"So how did you know?" Nicole asked.
"Draco," Harry said.
"Draco!" Nicole exclaimed.
"What? I didn't tell him," Draco said looking up from his daughter.
"How did you find out?" Nicole asked turning to glare at Sev thinking he spilled the beans.
"I overheard you," Draco said.
"Then how did Harry find out?" Nicole asked.
"Draco talks in his sleep," Harry said.
"Oh well then," Nicole said.
"Don't worry about it Nicole. Just because we can't keep things from your friends doesn't mean anything. We should have known that Harry or Draco and your siblings would find out," Sev said.
"Yes I should have. And honey they're our friends. They're not just my friends," Nicole said.
"Say it and be in the hole with house points," Sev said looking sternly over at Harry and Draco.
"Now, now my boy. That's no way to talk to your groomsmen is it?" Albus asked.
"Nicole it shouldn't be a shock. Albus knows everything," Sev said.
"I should have known," Nicole said.
"Well let's get the party started," Nicole said.
"The wedding," Nicole said when everyone looked at her funny.
"Ok Liz, Ann, and Hermione your dresses are in Sev and mine room. Harry, Draco your tuxes are in Chris's room. And Ron, dear Ron got a favor to ask," Nicole said.
"What?" Ron asked not sure he'd like it one bit.
"Hold our ring bearer for us?" Nicole asked.
"Yes I'll hold him," Ron said having to smile.
"Thanks," Nicole said.
"Welcome," Ron said.
"Dear brother of mine," Nicole said.
"What?" Josh asked.
"Hold our flower girl?" Nicole asked.
"How much does it pay?" Josh asked.
"I was kidding," Josh said after getting slapped upside the head by Liz.
"You better have been," Draco said fake glaring at Josh.
"Oh shush Malfoy you're not all tough like you think you are," Nicole said giving him a knowing smile.
She'd seen how he'd cave at little things his daughter did.
"Stop you two," Sev said before something was said.
While everyone was getting ready, Albus was setting up the great all for the wedding. When everyone saw it they were in shock. Well almost all, Sev wasn't because he's the one that asked Albus to set it up that way. He knew what Nicole wanted and did as she wanted for the great hall.
Liz, Ann, and Hermione were wearing a peach colored dress. The men were in black tuxes and white shirts. Chris was however in a white tux with a white shirt and tie. They were unable to find a blank tux…ok not really Nicole just liked the way her son looked in it. And Angel was wearing her peach colored dress that her aunt had found for her. Nicole was in a white off the shoulder dress. She'd seen it one day and knew that was the dress for her. Sev had yet to see it. She'd kept it well hidden in her closet.
"Thank you Remus," Nicole said just before they were to walk down the isle.
"It's my pleasure," Remus said smiling down at Nicole.
When Sev saw Nicole his jaw dropped at seeing how beautiful she was. He was amazed that he was finally going to be able to marry the girl of his dreams. Of course he was in his younger form. It'd been decided that since they were going to be starting a new life together tonight Serverus Snape would leave behind his old self and start his life as his new self. No one knew of that as of yet.
The group consisted of: Sev, Nicole, Nicole's mum, Sev's mum and grandmother, Liz, Ann, Josh, Albus and his wife, Sirius, Tracy and their son, Wendy, Remus, Author, Molly, Ginny, Oliver, Fred, George, Percy, Bill and his daughter and of course Charlie.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman," Albus said.
Twenty minutes later
"You may kiss the bride," Albus said smiling at the new couple.
"I give you Mr. and Mrs. Severus Snape," Albus said.
"I have a surprise for you," Sev said.
"What?" Nicole asked as they were walking down the isle.
"You're just going to have to wait until later," Sev said smirking at his new wife.
Many hours and drinks later the party was starting to break up. Nicole noticed throughout the night that if Chris and Angel were near each other then they'd reach out and hold hands. Or that's what it looked like to Nicole…but who knew?
Sev had of course told Nicole what the surprise was. They were going to be staying at a hotel in Muggle London for two days. It was just a short get-a-way. Sev had a feeling that Nicole couldn't even last that long. And of course he wanted to be with his son too.
"Nicole he'll be fine," Sev said still trying to pry his wife away from their son.
"I know but I'll miss him," Nicole said.
"We'll be back tomorrow to spend Christmas with the family," Sev said.
"I know," Nicole said giving her son one last kiss before leaving with Sev.
This year since there were so many getting together for Christmas it was being held at Remus and Sirius's place. Yes they did all live there still. They figured why not? It was big enough and little Lupin would be needing a playmate. Of course everyone knew about the baby and was happy for them. It looked like there could be another wedding in the future. After all Remus had decided to propose tomorrow. Not even his best friend Sirius knew about it. He wanted it to be a secret that only he knew about.
Christmas day
They'd finally gotten through opening presents. The babies were all lying on the blanket sleeping. And their parents didn't look too far off from following them.
"Tracy will you marry me?" Remus asked shushing everyone in the room up.
"Yes," Tracy said with tears in her eyes.
"You old dog you," Sirius said slapping his friend on the shoulder.
"Leave him alone," Wendy said.
"You will never change Black," Sev said with an amused smirk on his face.
"What?" Sirius asked.
"Nothing," Sev said rolling his eyes.
"Well I best be for getting her to her nap," Draco said picking up his daughter.
"Draco just leave her be. They'll be fine," Wendy said.
"Besides I don't want our future quidditch star to wake up and scream his head off again," Sirius said.
"What?" Nicole asked.
"He woke up last night and I don't know he acted like he was scared and was looking around. I think he was looking for that little girl," Wendy said before her husband could put his foot into it.
"Well I guess we know who they will end up marring," Nicole said.
"Bite your tongue," Sev said.
"Hey!" Draco said.
"Not you, Sirius," Sev said.
"What about me?" Sirius asked.
"You, Harry and Drac are NOT turning my son into a quidditch player," Sev said.
"Honey unless we're going to lock him in his room that's not going to happen," Nicole said.
"I can try, can't I?" Sev asked.
"You can but it's a waste of time," Nicole said.
"Fine," Sev said.
After everyone left Sirius and Wendy decided to take a nap since they weren't watching Chris anymore. Draco had taken Chris back to Hogwarts with him. He too had Angel wake up last night screaming her head off. So he decided to see if they were in the same room if it happened. Of course neither Draco nor Nicole knew was about the connection Angel and Chris had and they wouldn't for years to come. Not until they started at Hogwarts.
