Chapter Twenty-Two
*One Year Later*
"Come here you little monkey" Draco laughed as Pandora crawled under the dining room table squealing with joy as he chased her, "Fine," Draco laughed, "You win…I guess I will have to eat breakfast for you!" he smiled moving to the high-chair where a bowl of porridge was placed, he took the seat beside it and picked up the bowl, "Mm, daddy's favourite" he smiled picking up the spoon and moving it to his lips,
"Noooo" he herd the little girl squeal as she crawled to where he was sat,
"But I thought you didn't want your breakfast today?" he smiled down at her,
"Up" she giggle pulling herself onto her feet, using Draco's trouser leg.
"Ok, my love" he laughed picking her up, "In we go" he popped her into the High-Chair, "Right, once you eat all this up, Nanny will come over to take you to mummy" he smiled,
"Dess" the infant giggled,
"Yeah mummy's going to wear a beautiful dress and so is nanny and aunty Pansy, Sue and Lulu," Draco smiled brining the spoon of porridge to his daughter's mouth, she swallowed and smacked her lips together, "and I think mummy has a pretty dress for you too" he smiled continuing to eat the porridge as Draco spooned it to her. He heard the rattle of the door opening,
"Hello" called Narcissa,
"NANA" she squealed, trying to get out of her chair,
"Pandora" Draco said sternly, she pushed out her bottom lip "No, you have to finish your breakfast first" he said,
"Sorry sweetheart, I'm early" Narcissa sighed, "You eat your breakfast like a good girl" she took a seat at the table,
"How's Hermione?" Draco asked as he continued feeding Pandora,
"She was just going for a shower when I left, she's very excited." Narcissa smiled, "She had an…interesting, night" Narcissa smirked, "But that is not for the Groom to know about" she smiled, "Now, what time is Blaise coming here?" she asked, Draco scooped the last of the Porridge onto the spoon and fed it to Pandora, placing the spoon back in the bowl and looking at his watch,
"About half an hour, I'll jump in the shower when you two go" he said picking up the bowl and moving it to the kitchen sink.
"Ok, is her bag all packed?" She said lifting her granddaughter from the high-chair,
"Yeah Hermione packed it before she left, The Blue bag is for today and the Red is for the next two weeks…I don't know how you convinced her to leave Pandora for two weeks, she's not let anyone take Pandora further than the front room since…" Draco let out a sigh,
"Draco, Trust me the wards on my flat will go berserk if anyone comes near it without our knowledge, Hermione made sure of that" Narcissa laughed
"Right" he laughed "You be good for nanny" Draco Smiled giving his daughter a kiss, "I'll see you in a little bit" Draco smiled, "Thanks mum"
Narcissa shrunk the two packed bags, and stepped out into the summer sun,
"Come on then my sweet" she smiled, "Let's go see mummy" she turned on the spot and apparated away.

Hermione sat in front of Pansy who was digging through the makeup bag before pulling out the lip pencil and outlining Hermione's lips, meanwhile Susan was working on Hermione's hair, styling it around a beautiful silver and jewel incrusted tiara,
"Close your eyes" Pansy Smiled, "Perfect" she smiled applying the shadow,
"Is Narcissa back yet?" Hermione asked,
"Not yet" Luna smiled, she was already in her bridesmaid, a beautiful lavender and white ombre floor length strapless dress, she had her long blond hair in a high Ponytail and in her arms was he five month old son, a spitting image of his father but with Luna's Silver grey eyes. "But the photographer has arrived, are you ready for her to come in?" she asked,
"Sure, if you go into my bag there is an envelope with photographer written on it, that the rest of his payment" Hermione said before having her head turned back to pansy,
"No more talking" Pansy laughed, continuing to work her magic with the makeup.
Narcissa entered the hotel and made her way to her room where she dropped off Pandora's bag for when her parents where away, and enlarged the one that had the day's supplies in hooking it on the handles of her pram,
"Shall we go find mummy" She smiled popping Pandora in the buggy and leaving the room again. She headed along the corridors to the Bridal suit where she found Hermione surrounded by Pansy, Susan and the camerawoman
"Mumma" Pandora called
"Hello, Princess, where you a good girl for daddy" Hermione smiled, Pandora pulled herself out of the pushchair and onto the floor crawling to her mother,
"Here you go" Pansy turned to pick up the little girl and place her on her mother's lap,
"Wow" the little girl smiled up at her mum, "Petty" she smiled,
"do you think your Daddy will like" Pansy smiled at the little girl who nodded before cuddling into her mum, Hermione smiled and prayed that the photographer had caught the moment as she felt amazing with her daughter in her arms.
"Why don't you come with nanny and we can put your pretty dress on" Narcissa smiled,

Draco stood in the room, Blaise at his side, his mother sat in the front row, and he was so nervous, he scratching at his arm,
"Calm down mate," Blaise said putting a hand on Draco's shoulder, Draco swallowed hard and nodded, not long now and they would be husband and Wife, but he wanted it to be over, he hated speaking in front of people, even if those people where like family to him. He could hear movement behind the closed doors, the music began, the song he had chosen
~ She's like the wind through my tree
She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She's taken my heart
But she doesn't know what she's done ~
The door opened revealing Luna and Susan holding one of each of Pandora's hands, they had matching floor-length Strapless Dresses, while Pandora wore a white dress that Draco would soon find matched her mothers.
Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind
Pansy came through next in a matching dress to Luna and Susan.
I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream?
Am I just fooling myself?
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane
Hermione stepped into view, she looked like a Princess, she had her Jewel incrusted Tiara, with her hair up and curled into ringlets framing her face, her make-up was simple but elegant and the dress, Draco stared at the dress, it was perfect for her, an off the shoulder form fitted bodice, with elegant jewels decorating it, the skirt was Princess style with just the right amount of poof.
"Wow" Draco mouthed, Blaise patted him on the shoulder. Hermione started the long walk towards the man she loved.
Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind
Feel your breath in my face
Your body close to me
Can't look in your eyes
You're out of my league
Just a fool…
