…The Wedding…
We met the others at the London airport. I could tell we were causing a scene. "Charlotte! Tell the truth. We were told that you guys cancelled your hotel reservations in France early. Where'd you go?", auntie Adalene asked. I looked to the other girls for help, but we'd all been separated to prevent collusion.
I sighed and looked at the ground. "That's not fair. We just relaxed and shopped is all. We spent more time outside then in the hotel, so it only made sense.", I half lied. Blaise scoffed behind me. I made eye contact with Hermione. She winked and I nodded.
We'd made sure everyone had the same story ready before we left Hawaii. Auntie Adalene gave me a look then turned to go find Aithley for answers. "Why don't we all go back to the house and we can continue questioning them there.", Mum suggested to the others just now noticing the looks we were getting.
Blaise wrapped an arm around me and led me out of the airport. I made myself follow where he was leading me even though I wanted to check on my friends.
He led me to a car. He motioned for me to get in. I did. Draco and Astoria got in the backseat. He drove to my house. We went inside and grandma Black smiled slyly. "You girls are in so much trouble!", she laughed gleefully.
Blaise led me to the living room. He sat me on his lap. I refused to meet his gaze. We heard Izzy and Charlie, Harry and Ginny, Ava and Fred, Angelina and George, and Ron and Hermione entered the room. I began humming. Blaise tsked and I changed the tune and the other girls relaxed.
I stopped humming as the other boys watched us on high alert. The silence grew with only grandma Black was laughing cheerfully. The door opened and the others appeared. I was going to stand but Blaise had an arm around my waist.
I watched as the adults peered at each of the girls. "Did they say anything?", mum asked Blaise. I turned to look at him. "Well Charlotte here was humming but she stopped.", he informed them. Aithne started singing the tune. Blaise's cousins relaxed too.
Blaise watched them carefully. I whistled a tune barely audible. They blinked and everyone refused to make eye contact. I stared at grandma Black. She winked at me.
I smiled lightly and stared at the floor while playing with my shirt. Well it was one of Blaise's shirts that I had taken a while back.
"Are you girls really not going to say anything?!", dad chuckled. Ava whistled a tune and we all nodded. This mystified them. They thought I was the only one giving orders this way, but in fact I'd taught them all so we could communicate. Hermione giggled.
Astoria winked at Luna. Blaise wrapped his arm tighter around my waist. I whistled a note and all the girls fell out laughing. This shocked the others. Mum scoffed and turned to Mrs. Zabini, "Charlotte has apparently taught them to communicate without using words."
The realization dawned on them and I looked into my mum's face with an innocent smile. Her eyes investigated mine, but I let nothing show. Dad collapsed into a chair. I turned to him then immediately looked to the floor.
He was staring at me with his puppy dog eyes. I fidgeted. I hummed and the other girls got the signal. "Come on. Where'd you go love?", Blaise asked. "Where'd you go?", I countered.
"I have their cameras!", Lucas announced as he entered the room. our heads shot up. "That's evil Blaise.", I muttered. He shrugged.
Ortensia cleared her throat. They turned. Blaise pulled me closer to his chest. I wanted to relax against him, but I forced myself not to. "We went to Hawaii. Whale watching and surfing you know.", she mumbled. She was blushing and looking at the floor not used to everyone being so focused on her.
"Where else did you go?", Charlie asked. He was in a corner with Izzy, her face was hidden in his chest. "We went hiking, shopping, and we visited a volcano.", Astoria whispered. Draco looked at her incredulously. Grandma Black giggled. Mum turned to her. "You seem to know something, don't you?", she questioned.
"Ask Sirius. He seems to have noticed.", she pouted. Mum turned to dad. "You girls were in New York, too weren't you?", he asked. I saw Izzy stiffen. The only one still confused was Lucas.
Draco tsked. "Of course. There was absolutely no way you girls would stay put in one place for long.", he scoffed. "The only question left is where did you girls go after Hawaii.", dad spoke as if he sensed it. I froze anyways unable to control myself.
We all began to whistle. Dad shook his head. Blaise turned my face to look at his. I closed my eyes. "Iguazu Falls… and Shirahage Falls…", I whispered. "Now why did it take all this to get the answers out of you?", Blaise wondered.
"We were scared of the reaction we might get.", Angelina answered for me. Blaise wrapped his other arm around me. I rested my head on his shoulder. I opened my eyes. "Such worrying kids.", mum muttered.
I heard Mrs. Zabini tsking and then the adults left the room. Silence descended again. Lucas chortled as he flipped through the photos. Ron and Harry joined him. "Wow! You girls are insane.", Ron muttered.
I investigated Blaise's face. He was staring at me but smiling. I relaxed slightly. "You visited Santa in New York?", Akio asked as he looked at the photos. I watched as Fred and George, Charlie, and Draco went over.
I buried my face in Blaise's neck. He chuckled. I hummed lightly. Izzy whistled back and I laughed. I kissed Blaise's neck lightly. I looked up. He looked calm or rather calmer than at the airport.
I sat up and looked around. The other girls looked as tired as I felt. The boys were looking through our photos we'd taken. I turned and saw that Astoria, Ava, Hermione, Ginny, and Izzy were sleeping in a huddle on the floor.
I leaned back onto Blaise's chest. He kissed the top of my head and I fell asleep.
When I woke, I was in my bed and Blaise had his arms wrapped me. "Are you awake now love?", he grumbled. I turned. According to the clock only a few hours had passed. I groaned.
"I want to sleep longer but I can't.", I groaned. I fully opened my eyes. Blaise was staring at me. I smiled up at him. I sat up. He pulled me to him. "Silly girls. You guys put so much effort into keeping your trip secret you all fell asleep as soon as the interrogation was over.", he mumbled a trace of a smile on his face.
I kissed his neck lightly. He groaned. I kissed his lips gently. He wrapped his arms tighter around me. I hummed lightly. He slid me onto his lap.
I played with the collar of his shirt. "I thought you promised to never worry me.", he muttered. I tensed. "I'm sorry.", I mumbled. He chuckled. I looked at him. He wasn't mad. I looked around.
"You said we all fell asleep.", I started. Blaise stood up taking me with him. He put my feet on the floor. He led me from my room. Izzy was asleep in her room with Charlie. Ava was chatting with Fred, Angelina, and George in her room. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were in Harry's room. Draco and Astoria were in the kitchen. The others were passed out in the living room.
We went to Blaise's flat so he could put his things away. I played with Agni for a bit. I turned on the radio and let music filled the room. Blaise joined me and we danced for a few hours.
We went back to my place for an early dinner. Everyone was awake now. I hugged mum and dad. Then I took Rochelle, Izzy, Luna, Elda, and Ginny to the study.
They threw questioning glances my way. I placed a charm on the study door so no one could enter or hear what we were saying. I opened a side panel in the wall and the bridesmaid's dresses appeared.
They gasped. I showed each girl her dress and was surprised to see that the dresses fit perfectly with each girl and her personality. I burst into tears. "If Charlie and Harry don't propose to you two when they see you in these dresses, I'm going to hit them!", I cried as Izzy and Ginny held the dresses up to their frames.
They burst into laughter and we put the dresses back and left the room. Elda, Rochelle, and Luna couldn't look Charlie and Harry in the face because they'd start laughing again. I was crying and laughing at their bewildered faces.
"I think you need another nap.", Blaise stated as we all burst into giggles again. "Why are you guys laughing?", mum asked in concern. Luna explained and I buried my face in Blaise's neck so I couldn't see Harry and Charlie's expressions.
Dad sniggered and mum smacked his shoulder lightly but started laughing too. Blaise chuckled and looked up in time to see Harry and Charlie's shocked expressions. I buried my face back in Blaise's neck as another wave of laughter hit me.
The night continued in this cheery way. Everyone went home around midnight. Mum and dad went upstairs. Izzy, Charlie, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Ava, and Fred went inside.
I sat in Blaise's lap as he hummed lightly and played with his hands. "What'd you take before the trip?", he asked, and I smiled. "Your trip first?", I responded. He turned me so I looked at him. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He kissed me. "Tell me.", he mumbled against his lips.
"What did I take?", I asked still dizzy, from the kiss. He chuckled and kissed me again. "What am I going to do with you?", he whispered. I kissed him gently. "Your trip?", I asked. Blaise kissed my neck. I froze. "I took something?", I asked. Blaise groaned.
"Well I didn't take anything besides the jacket.", I answered honestly. He closed his eyes, murmured something, and smiled. I kissed him gently.
I sat in the chair in the hotel suite in Miami. I put the rings, earrings, and necklace on. Mrs. Zabini had brought the dress she'd made in. It was gorgeous. Izzy and Rochelle helped me into it, and I slid into the heels I'd brought. I stood in front of the mirror as my bridesmaids stood beside me. It was perfect.
Mum knocked on the door and she and dad entered the room. I turned to them. Dad teared up and hugged me. "My baby girl is all grown up!", he cried. I began to get misty eyed. I sniffled. "Oh no! none of that!", mum sniffed as she left the room. I heard her crying as she walked down the hall.
Dad went to comfort mum and I fixed my light makeup. Elda, Luna, and Rochelle went down to the hall to notify everyone I was ready. Ginny handed me the bouquet. I took a deep breath, and we left the room.
I sat by Blaise at the reception. We watched as our families danced. My head was on his shoulder. "I love you.", he whispered. I smiled. "Aww! My husband is so sweet.", I teased. I felt him scoff. I was watching Charlie and Harry. Not once had their eyes left Izzy and Ginny.
When we'd entered earlier, I had reminded Izzy of what she could give me as a wedding gift. I chuckled. I turned my head to Blaise. "You look to good in that outfit. If I'm illegal you're forbidden.", I whispered staring into his eyes.
He kissed me gently. "Nice try missy. No.", he slid his glass away from me. "That's not what I meant. Do you think your ready to tell me about your trip now?", I mumbled. He grinned and shook his head. I sighed and played with his hands.
Luna came over and retrieved me to dance with the others. Byanca and Akio were dancing together, and I smiled. I danced with Luna, Izzy, and Ginny. We danced for a few songs. "I wonder who will win?", Luna smiled. "Win what? Did you guys make another bet?", I asked. "You'll see.", Luna smiled as she spun around.
I danced with dad. He was tearing up again. "Aww! Don't cry!", I started tearing up. He blinked rapidly. I called mum over. "You two!", she sighed. We were both crying now. Uncle Remus chuckled as he passed by.
I wiped the tears from my eyes. Izzy came over and hugged dad. I smiled. "Did he propose yet?!", I asked her excitedly in Chinese. She shot me a not right now look. I looked at Charlie who was talking to Lucas and Draco. Alexis and Anna were dancing with Uberto and Jino.
Dad went to talk to uncle Remus and mum followed. "Is now the time?", I asked Izzy impatiently. She blushed and went to get a drink. I followed her to the table. Juliet came over. "What's going on?", she asked a sly smile on her face. "You two still haven't stopped teasing her yet?", she scoffed.
I handed them both a glass. They drank then looked at the glass. "Moonshine and champagne!", I smiled gleefully. I clapped my hands excitedly at their shocked expression. I hummed as I dropped them off at their tables and rejoined Blaise.
I smiled at him. "Are you purposely getting your friends drunk?", he asked. I feigned surprise, "Of course not. They just looked a little parched." He didn't seem sold. "I wonder what Luna meant earlier.", I murmured to myself. "Oh, the bet?!", Blaise asked.
I pouted. Of course, he knew what bet it was. He shook his head and smiled. He knew and he wouldn't tell me. Harry came over and whispered something to Blaise. Blaise nodded and stood. I looked back and forth at the two. Blaise motioned for me to stay put.
I watched as they went over to Charlie and Draco. Izzy, Ginny, and Astoria joined me. They looked confused. I fidgeted in my chair. We'd made some last-minute changes to the plans for the evening. Everyone quieted as the guys gathered on the dance floor.
Blaise cleared his throat though it wasn't necessary. "Some of you were probably expecting the bride to come out for this portion but as I have not told her what we did for our winter trip this task now falls to me.", Blaise informed the room and he held the bouquet I was holding earlier. My friends threw shocked glances my way.
"He knows I would've handed it off to one of you.", I muttered. I smiled at the nervous looks on the boy's faces. Blaise threw the bouquet and we watched with bated breath.
I whistled as George caught the flowers. He looked around extremely flustered. Ginny burst into laughter and pointed at a hiding Angelina on the floor beneath their table.
I turned to Izzy and Ginny. I raised an eyebrow, and they got the hint. They hurried over to congratulate Angelina. I stood from my seat and went over with Astoria. I hugged Angelina. "Congrats dear!", I smirked. She looked at me and then back to the floor. "I must confess though. I thought Fred would've caught it.", I stated. Angelina's head shot up and I heard a squeak behind me. I turned to see Ava weaving through the room and out the door.
I shot Angelina a comforting smile. We talked with Angelina until she was less flustered. Blaise came over and separated me from the girls. "That was an excellent toss sir.", I giggled as he led me away. He gave me a look. "There'll be no hitting tonight. Whether Charlie and Harry proposed or not.", he told me. I sighed in defeat.
He looked around the room. I thought for a second. "You know something I don't know.", I gasped. He looked thoughtful then shrugged. I watched as Fred left out the same door as Ava. Blaise led me further away.
He placed his arms around my waist. I glanced up at him. He knew something, but I couldn't figure it out. He hummed lightly. I watched him carefully.
He looked into my eyes then looked away. I put my head in his chest. I wrapped my arms around him, and we swayed to the music that was playing.
I heard my friends gasping. I turned. Angelina was kissing George a ring now on her finger. I squealed. I saw a flash on Izzy's hand. Blaise pulled my face to his. "I think you're distracted.", he murmured. I kissed him.
We stayed in the hall dancing until everyone went to bed. We left the hall saying our last thanks to the staff, musicians, caterers, and bakers.
Our bags were already in the car outside. We changed and got in. We headed to the airport. We had a little time before our flight. I kept looking at my ring. It felt like a dream. Blaise kissed my neck. I turned to him.
"Why no hitting?", I asked. He shook his head. We boarded our flight. I slept on Blaise's shoulder. He woke me when we landed. I took a deep breath when we got off the plane in Santorini, Greece.
Blaise did not let me go all the way to the hotel. I opened the door to our suite. Blaise picked me up and carried me inside closing the door with his foot. I giggled as he placed me on the bed.
He kissed me passionately. I wrapped my arms around him. He groaned and looked at me. I stared up at him. "Charlotte you are positively the best thing in my life.", he murmured. I blinked as the words registered in my head. I smiled and he kissed me again.
He slowly took my shirt off. He kissed a trail down my body. I moaned and squirmed beneath him. I barely registered the fact he'd already taken his shirt off. He kissed me passionately. His hands moved to mine pinning them above my head. I deepened the kiss and he growled.
I wrapped my legs around his waist and flipped us over. My lips attached themselves to his neck as I unbuttoned his pants. I slid my hand inside palming him through the material of boxers. He groaned and I smirked against his neck.
He removed my hand with a bit of effort and flipped us back over. He slid my pants off then his. He kissed a trail back up my legs. I gasped as he slid my panties to the side and began to lick my folds.
He held my hips down and I squirmed beneath him. I let out a moan as he ran his thumb across his clit. I whimpered. Blaise tsked. He returned to his task and placed my leg over his shoulder.
Stars burst across my vision. He kissed my clit and then kissed a trail back up my body. I groaned as his lips found my breast. His hands still played with my clit.
He began kissing my neck attacking the sensitive spot. I gasped. He smirked. I squirmed beneath him and felt him slide inside me. I sighed in satisfaction. He moved slowly and I groaned as I let him take control.
I kissed his neck. He groaned and I shuddered. "I love you.", I whispered in his ear. I pressed myself against him and moved with him. He held my hips in place moving faster. I kissed him as I moaned, and he moved faster.
I orgasmed and he watched me. I wrapped my legs around him pulling him deeper. I arched my back as I felt another orgasm nearing. "I love you Charlotte.", he whispered in my ear. I shivered and our climaxes hit us.
We fell back onto the bed panting and gasping. I rolled us over. He hardened again and slid down his length. I moved slowly then sped up. He groaned. I leaned down and kissed him. He deepened the kiss and held my face down. I continued to roll my hips down and moaned into the kiss. We climaxed again and he pulled me down to him.
I laid on his chest as we caught our breath. "What a wonderful first night Mrs. Zabini.", he panted. I looked up at him. I kissed him gently.
