Glittery Gold

The small crowd gathered around the three-tiered wedding cake, some gawking at the magnificent structure that greeted their eyes. The first layer consisted of a soft sponge cake with a white coating and green and silver decorations.

The second layer was scarlet with a touch of yellow.

But it was the third layer that captivated the attention of the guests.

An enchantment had been placed on the top layer so that it rotated hypnotically to reveal a completely covered cake of gold glitter.

"You really know how to go all out, don't you?" Draco murmured into Harry's ear.

"Shut up and smile," Harry muttered. "The cake keeps the eyes off us."

"Ah."

There was no stopping the media sneaking into what was supposed to be a private wedding, but the cake seemed to keep their cameras off the couple for long enough to satisfy them.

"Ready to cut it, my husband?" Harry asked, picking up the knife.

"Of course." Draco answered, placing his hand over Harry's.

The guests cheered as the knife slid easily through the three layers and came out clean. The flash of cameras came from all directions, but in that moment, neither cared.

"That's what glittery gold can do for us," Harry muttered, leaning across to plant a kiss on his new husband's lips.

Draco smiled through kisses. "I can think of a few other things we can do with glittery gold."

Harry chuckled. "Isn't that meant to be kept secret for the wedding night?"

They smiled and posed for more photos, guests all jumping in to ensure there'd at least be a lasting memory that they'd shown up.

Eventually, the novelty of the cake wore off and guests returned to their seats.

"Privacy, at last," Draco sighed.

"Get used to it," Harry answered. "You're married to me now." He reached out his hand to take Draco's and smiled.

"I guess I can deal." Draco leaned forward and kissed him again and Harry laughed.

"So can I. so can I."
