School as Fabian was a change, not only for he was a Slytherin now having re-sorted, but because the war was over, he had his family, and he was happy. He returned to quidditch, he continued to date the men he loved, and he was over the moon when on New Years' eve Alex proposed to his godfather. They decided not to wait, and were married right there and then, for there had been no shortage of lords to marry them, and a party already. They had only been dating for six months but had been together before, and after the war and all, they had not wanted to wait. By Valentine's Day Alex was pregnant and when they learned it was a little boy, not long before Fabian's grad, they decided they would name him Gideon Sirius, for their brothers.

Lucius and Severus watched Fabian, who aced his classes, led Slytherin to the house and quidditch cups, and was top of his class. Tom did not have a business, for like his son's two estates they were all real estate, investments and vaults, not like Malfoy industries. Unlike Draco who was going into law, Fabian may from time to time sit in the Wizengamot with his Papa who became minster of magic in March, but he was taking Filius up on his offer to apprentice for two years, to take charms. The men considered proposing Valentine's or graduation, but they had promise some time for Fabian to finish school and move on.

Tom was not surprised when before Christmas they came, and asked his blessing, both out of respect, and fear of people like Rodolphus if he was angry. He swore he was happy, and with intentions to wait for summer to wed if Fabian said yes, his son would be a year through his apprenticing. Alex and Remus who welcomed baby Gideon weeks before, were happy they did not need to step in, for they knew the time was right.

Christmas Eve Fabian was shocked when they blindfolded him. "What are you doing? If I scream you know Uncle Rodolphus will be on you in a moment."

Lucius kissed him "Your family knows we are taking your for a special date my love. Now hold on."

They had all come to the manor for the holidays, well Alex and Remus came and went for Alex was headmaster. Fabian felt odd, at school with his own apartments, but he settled in well as an apprentice, and he was hoping his boyfriends would be ready soon for the next step. They had never even made love, for Fabian was still wary from being raped, but he knew with their love, that would change for him.

They did not uncover his eyes until they had apparated him some where and Fabian was stunned as he looked around, for though he had no idea where they were, it was so beautiful, some where in the mountains, where there was snow, and a lake

Severus pulled him in close for he looked a bit cool "This is northern Wales. We thought since there was no snow at home, we would bring you to it."

Fabian was shocked. "I have never been to the mountains and we never even get this kind of snow in Scotland. This is breath taking."

Lucius helped him with a snow shoe spell. "We thought we would take a walk and we would have a romantic dinner here."

Fabian could not have thought of something more perfect then walking along the lake with the men he loved, and he had a feeling there was more to this. He laughed when he was pulled down to make snow angels, and they even made snow men. Even if he known such snow as a kid, he would have had to shovel it, not play in it, and felt amazing, and could picture doing this with kids one day. He was amazed when the dinner was out in the middle of the lake, the water barely frozen, but there was a bridge from magic and an area like an island to support them, and a candle light dinner waiting for them.

Again warming spells on the food, they had an incredible dinner, and when they pulled him up for a dance, he had a feeling before they dropped to their knees, and Lucius produced a ring, what was happening.

Lucius was better at words and kissed his hand. "We love you. We promised to be patient but we want to spend our life with you. Please bond with us."

Fabian was speechless at first but nodded and when Lucius slid the ring on he was in tears "I love you."

As they took him into their arms and kissed him, he had never felt so happy or so right. He was shocked when they heard clapping and he saw his Papa, his brothers, Uncle Alex and Remus with the baby, and the rest of the family. He was nervous even with the clapping at how his Papa would take it, but he was smiling.

He took Fabian into his arms and kissed his head. "I am so happy for you prince, they will love you. Your Uncle Alex and I will walk you down the aisle"

The first of July a wedding that could have been no more different then the proposal was held, in the gardens of Riddle Manor, with family and friends. It could have been a society wedding but the grooms never wanted that, just their order were there. Trellises growing with jasmine and honeysuckle, created a canopy over the rows of chairs, room for the sun to pour through, and Lucius and Severus waited with the minister. Draco was to stand for his dad, Remus for Severus and oddly Percy for Fabian who in failing to choose between the twins, chose the older brother instead, who he grew close to. Tents for a summer reception, and a nearly month long honeymoon through Australia and New Zealand, returning the day before Fabian's birth, waited.

Fabian, in new robes but cufflinks his Papa wore on his wedding and his Daddy's pendant and pocket watch, was escorted down the aisle, by Tom and Alex. Both man felt such a pang, it should have been Gideon, but Alex was honoured to fill in for his brother, his own son with Tonks. Fabian was led to where his fiancés stood near a fountain of the muses, where flowers floated in and on the water.

The minster spoke. "Who gives this young man in bonding?"

Tom answered."His Uncle and I do."

"Do you Lucius Abraxas Malfoy, Lord Malfoy take Fabian and Severus to be your sacred bonds, united in heart, body and magic, till death divides you?"

Lucius smiled "I do."

Draco handed rings to his dads. "I Draco Lucius Malfoy stand witness to my father's vows." And Lucius slid a band on each groom.

"Do you Severus Tobias Snape, Lord Prince, take Fabian and Lucius to be your sacred bonds, united in heart, body and magic till death divides you?"

"I do."

Remus handed him the rings. "I Remus John Prewett stand witness to my friend's vows." And Severus did his part

Last. "And do you Fabian Thomas Prewett-Riddle, Lord Potter-Black take Lucius and Severus as your sacred bonds; unite in heart, body and magic till death divides you?"

Fabian was in tears. "I do."

Percy handed he rings to Fabian "I Perceval Ignatius Weasley stand witness to my cousin's vows." Fabian shook bad as he put the rings on.

The minister performed a blessing, their two rings merged into one on each of them. "I now pronounce you bonded. You may seal it with kisses."

Fabian was drawn into long passionate kisses from both men, and as soon as the documents were signed and doves released, they were surrounded. His Papa was probably the happiest for them, but his brothers came close, and even Rodolphus stopped threatening to hex, though he made a joke about coming on the honeymoon. A beautiful summer barbeque feel meal, dancing to live music, and when night fell, fireworks followed.

Both his bonds eventually drew him into their arms with a portkey and Severus asked. "Ready for our honeymoon my Mr Prewett-Riddle-Malfoy?"
