Hermione woke Draco up two nights after the dinner at the Potters' with a loud squeal of excitement. I figured out the potion!" Her hazel eyes were alight with joy as she brought her lips down to his.
"What was it?" He spoke against her lips quietly. "You said last night that it wasn't going to work with that new fern."
"Well it did." She smiled and pecked him once more, "even I can be wrong."
"That makes one of us." He chuckled as she playfully punched his arm. "So are you gonna give it to your parents?"
"I'm going to wait until after Blaise and Luna's wedding."
Draco looked dumbfounded, "Why?"
"I can't be sidetracked with all of this when Luna really needs me. She asked me to be her maid of honor and that's a big deal! I feel like I should just focus on her for the next week. It's not a big deal for my parents; the potion will help them regardless."
"You seem to have thought this out…"
"Of course I did," she responded quickly, "I think everything out." Draco smirked and kissed her once more.
"Can we go to bed now?" He turned towards the bed but then wiggled his eyebrows, "Unless you want to celebrate of course…I guess I could oblige."
"Get in bed you arsehole."
The next week passed astonishingly fast and before anyone realized it, they were on the eve of Blaise and Luna's wedding. The actual wedding was to be held by the creek of Luna's childhood home. It was where her mother and father had been married and seemed to be the only thing she truly put her foot down on. The reception was being held in large tents with Slytherin and Ravenclaw colors decorating every orifice. There had also been two tents set up for the Bride and Groom to get ready.
"Oh Luna I knew that dress was the perfect one!" Hermione had just helped her friend into the stunning wedding dress they had chosen two weeks ago. Luna had been exceptionally slow preparing for her big day and it was only when Hermione nagged her endlessly that the blonde went to find a dress.
"Yes it is rather lovely." Luna's voice was singsong, "Thanks for helping me pick it out Hermione. I do hope Blaise likes it." She looked like the least stressed bride the world had ever laid eyes on. Her dress was as non-traditional as she was. It was not a stunning snow white, but instead light blue on top with diamond like jewels on the neckline and at the middle turned to a darker shade of ocean blue. It was tight around her chest and then poofed and fell out magnificently around her hips. Luna's pale skin glowed and her bright blue eyes were popping out in the most beautiful way. The Ravenclaw's dirty blonde hair was in a half updoo with ringlets framing her heart shaped face. She looked breathtaking.
Harry walked in with his hand over his eyes, "Is everyone dressed?"
Hermione giggled and snatched his hand from his face, "Yes we're decent!"
Harry took in Luna and let out a whistle, "More than decent! Luna you look amazing!" Ginny walked out from the closet wearing the bridesmaid dress and Harry's attention was captured away from the bride. "You look absolutely beautiful Gin." He kissed her softly and the couple's love for one another radiated throughout the tent.
"You look pretty handsome yourself Mr. Potter." Ginny tapped his chest that was covered by a suit with Slytherin green accenting it. "I never thought I'd say this but, that is definitely your color." The ginger laughed and pecked him quickly. "Now get outta here and go help the groom! I'm sure he's nervous."
"Yes dear," Harry smiled, "See you out there Hermione." He called as he left.
"You really do look nice Ginny," Hermione grinned at her friend, "I'm glad we decided on these, aren't you Luna?" They both turned towards the bride whom was humming and smiling to herself.
"Yes, the Slytherin green really is a magnificent color on people isn't it?"
"Yeah no wonder you guys decided on these colors." Hermione had been a bit baffled at first by their color choices since most couples decided to not include their Hogwarts past in any part of the wedding.
"Ginny decided on the colors actually." Luna grinned. Ginny turned red.
"Honest to Merlin I didn't realize what the colors symbolized. Luna told me she was having it outside by a creek and I thought blue and green were creek colors. Blaise decided to call it 'Slytherin green' and 'Ravenclaw blue'."
"Blaise would." Hermione chuckled and rolled her eyes. She went into the closet and after changing into her bridesmaid dress, went over to the Grooms tent to see Draco. She covered her eyes much like Harry and entered in with caution. "Is everyone okay with a girl in the room?" Laughter bubbled up through her body and she felt a soft hand remove her hand. Draco's grey irises entered her vision.
"You look exquisite." He growled softly enough so only she heard. It started a pit of fire where the laughter had been only moment before. The Gryffindor stood back and took in her boyfriend. He was wearing a black suit with green poking out just like Harry's. However where Harry made it look handsome, Draco made it look sexy.
"You don't look too bad yourself." She replied.
"I think we'll both look better tonight." Draco kissed her neck.
"And why is that?" Said Hermione breathlessly.
"You'll just have to wait and see." Draco pulled away from her neck just as she was leaning into him.
"Sometimes I want to smack you Draco Malfoy."
"Perhaps you should…it was pretty damn hot when you did it in 3rd year and I barely even knew what hot meant then." Hermione had no answer but the blushing of her cheeks.
The ceremony went off without a hitch and within an hour of Hermione and Draco's flirting, Luna and Blaise were now Mr. and Mrs. Zabini. As the guests stood and clapped, everyone filed into the largest tent for the reception. Luna and Blaise had their first dance to a song by Celestina Warbeck called 'Eternal Love'. Once everyone settled down for dinner, Draco rose to give his best man speech.
"To the lovely Bride and Groom, I just want to say congratulations. I can only hope to marry not only someone I am as crazy about as you two are for each other, but someone who understands me the way you only understand one another. Blaise, you are my very best friend, quite truthfully you're the only real friend I've ever had and I am so happy for you. I wish you both nothing but joy for the rest of your lives. To Blaise and Luna!" Hermione's jaw was hanging at the end of his speech and she nearly missed her chance to get up and make her toast as well. She never knew Draco could speak so fondly of someone in front of anyone. He had always been a more private person with emotions.
"To Blaise and Luna, I can't even put into words how excited I am for you both. Luna, we've been friends since we were kids and honestly, I've always admired your wisdom and your easygoing nature that I wasn't exactly graced with." The crowd laughed, "You have always been an amazing person and I know that you and Blaise are going to be so happy together. To Mr. and Mrs. Zabini!" The crowd raised their glasses and quiet applause swept through the room before chatter washed it away.
"That was a nice speech dear," Draco whispered into her ear, "I have a short one for you." He licked his lips and kissed her cheek before continuing, "To the lovely Hermione, who will be shouting my name before she falls asleep tonight." Hermione whipped her head around to find Draco grinning and laughing under his breath. "Why are you blushing so fervently sweetheart?" He smirked and reached for the butter across the table, "It's not like you've never yelled it before." Hermione smacked his arm but in her stomach a pit of heat was turning, waiting to be satiated.
"We're leaving early." She growled back at him. He snorted and bit on his tongue to keep from letting out a loud guffaw.
After dinner, music started up once more and Draco grasped Hermione's hand in his own. "Can I have this dance?" He scanned her face with nothing but admiration in his eyes.
"Why certainly Mr. Malfoy."
The Slytherin's brow rose, "Aren't we oh so formal?"
"I won't be in a couple hours." She hissed back. Draco's molten eyes went darker with lust. He helped her up from her seat and they made their way out onto the dance floor. His hands gripped her hips just inches away from her bum. Hermione rested her head on his shoulder and they rocked back and forth for a few minutes in a comfortable silence.
"You really do look beautiful Hermione." Draco whispered against her temple. "I don't know how any man in this room watched the bride during the ceremony when you were standing there." He kissed her head. "I know I had trouble focusing."
She lifted her head and kissed his lips swiftly, "You better hope no other man was watching me." She smiled shyly.
Draco's features set into stone, "Yeah they better not of been. I'm not having any man feel up my witch." He didn't even seem to realize the words that had left his mouth.
"I'm yours?" Hermione felt butterflies prepare for flight in her stomach. It was astounding how Draco could say something that would usually frustrate her and simply make her feel wanted.
"Mine and only mine." He growled against her mouth. "I've never been much of the sharing type."
The butterflies in her stomach took off in full flight and circled around at the feeling of being wanted so desperately, "I love you." She mumbled just loud enough for him to hear before resting her head back down on his shoulder. Draco simply kissed her cheek in response but the meaning was clear. He loved her with every fiber of his being.
