A/N: Oh goodness, here we are.

This, my friends, is the last chapter of this extremely long story that I have written in my spare time. I don't know about you all, but I'm actually quite sad that this is the end! I've really gotten into this story, and it's so sad, knowing that this is it. It's almost like I've lost a friend. Hahaha just kidding :)

Also, and I know it's almost pointless to mention now, but for this fic, I have decided to make Ginny skip a year, and be in the same year as everyone else. I know some of you may say "No! That's not how it is!" Yeah, I know. But I wanted there to be someone like I featured Ginny in this fic, and I immediately thought of using Ginny. Sorry.

Also, anything else that you find that you don't think is right (other than grammar and spelling errors) is probably there for some reason...Yeah...

I'm sorry that this chapter took so long to come out. Truth-be-told, I was kinda putting it off, cuz I didn't want it to end just yet...Sorry :) :(

But here we are! Chapter 39. Also, thanks to Books13 for help!


Hermione POV

I sat down on my bed and picked up the picture on my bedside table. Ginny, Harry, Ron, and Draco's smiling faces were staring up at me, and also moving around like all pictures in the wizarding world do.

I let out a deep breath of air. It had been 3 years since Draco and I had really gotten into each other, and exactly 3 years from the day we first kissed.

Draco had purposely picked this day for our wedding, and to my surprise, it was cleverly thought out.

I smiled, remembering how flustered he looked when he was trying to propose to me, and then how happy he looked when he finally got the words out and I said yes.

I picked up another picture and looked at Draco's familiar smirk gleaming back at me. My heart jumped.

There was a knock on the door, and I got up off of my bed and opened the door. My mother was standing outside my door.

"Hermione, dear, Ginny and Harry are here. They're going to be taking you to the church. Your father and I will be coming a little bit later. You'll need hours to get ready." she said. Suddenly, she hugged me. "Oh, my little girl's getting married!"

"Mum!" I said, blushing. "It's been months since you've known. Hasn't the shock cleared up yet?"

She shook her head. "I do believe I will wake up in a couple of months and say 'Oh my goodness, my little girl is married'." she laughed.

I hugged her. "I'll see you soon." I laughed. I picked up my purse and headed out the door.


"Hi Harry! Hi Ginny!" I greeted, as I hopped into the backseat of the sleek black car Harry was driving.

"Hi 'Mione! Are you ready? Today's the big day!" giggled Ginny.

"I'm fine, Mrs. Potter. Just a million of butterflies in my stomach." I said, sarcastically. Ginny and Harry had just come back from their honeymoon in Paris only two months ago.

Ginny just laughed, and we sped off to the church.

Ginny and Harry started chatting, but I was too nervous to tune into what they were saying. I looked at the gold band around my fourth finger. Draco had bought me another one, but he wasn't letting me see it until the wedding.

"Mrs. Hermione Jean Malfoy." I murmured. It had a nice ring to it, but it still made me nervous.


I was almost dreading the time that we came to the big, grand church. I could barely stay on my feet.

"Alright Hermione! Let's get you into your gown!" exclaimed Ginny. She ushered me into a small room, and picked up a gigantic bag off of the clothes rack.

"Alright, your magnificent dress." announced Ginny. She unzipped the bag to reveal a pure, white, strapless gown with pearls attached across the waistline. There was a big fluffy skirt which to me, was the best part. The gown was ideal for me. Simple and elegant.

"Get changed, and I'll go get your heels." winked Ginny. She bounded out of the room, leaving me to freak out in peace.

I had just gotten into the dress that fit snugly on me when I heard a noise that sounded like something hitting something else, followed by a familiar "Ow!"

I looked up, alarmed, and through the closed door, I heard Ginny screeching.

"GET OUT OF HERE! YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO SEE THE BRIDE!" she yelled. Her words were followed by more hitting noises.

"Ouch! Ugh, fine! Gosh, I can't even see my own fiancé?" complained Draco.

"No! Now get out of here!" she yelled. Then, the door flew open. I looked in amusement to see a smiling Ginny staring back at me, as if what happened seconds ago had just been a part of my imagination.

"Hello, Hermione. I have your shoes." she said, brightly, holding up a big, white box.


Hours and hours passed. I sat in agony as Ginny and a group of other people mess with my make-up and hair.

"Is this really all that important?" I asked, exasperated.

"Yes." they all answered at the same time.

I went back to grumbling in peace. Then, I closed my eyes and began to think. I remembered how clueless and frustrated Draco looked when we were planning the wedding. The invitations, the decoration, the theme, and all of the arrangements had driven Draco insane.

"Can't we just kiss and get someone to pronounce us man and wife and just skip this whole thing?" he had asked, irritably. I smiled at the memory. That idiot had no patience, whatsoever.

As for the bet? It got less and less important, and over time, I had begun to forget about it. But then again, I couldn't completely forget about the thing that had brought me right here, right now.

"Finally!" Ginny shouted. "You're ready!"

I looked into the mirror and gasped. My hair had been put into a soft bun and the veil fit perfectly into it. My make-up (thank goodness) was very light.

"I...look..." I stuttered.

"Like a bride." finished Ginny.

I nodded. "Pretty much."

She laughed, and I couldn't stop smiling.


Draco POV

"Stupid Weasley." I muttered, kicking a chair. Apparently, sneaking a tiny peek at the girl I loved most was illegal. The world has definitely gone to the dogs.

"Hey mate. You look decent." said Blaise, coming into the room I was in. "But Granger looks better. No offense. But I suppose it's because she's a girl and all, but really. You kind of loo-"

I interrupted him. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up. You saw her?" I asked.

He nodded. "I went in to say hi just now."

I threw my hands up in frustration. "Oh, just great. Everyone's seen her but me!"

"Not true, mate. I bet your parents-" started Blaise. Suddenly, the door flew open and my mother walked in.

"Draco, dear, you really should find a better suit. It's very casual compared to Hermione's dress." said my mother, disapprovingly.

I clenched my jaw and glared at Blaise.

"Ok, maybe they have seen her." he said.

"Draco, I'm getting you the black suit. The grey one you're wearing right now makes you look…strange." continued my mother, rummaging through her purse. She pulled out a suit, and I gaped at it.

"Charms, dear." reminded my mother, lightly. I felt incredibly stupid for not realizing that-especially since I had spent most of my time for the last couple of years with Hermione.

"Oh. Right." I muttered, embarrassed. I took the suit from her and ran to go change.


Hermione POV

I was in the middle of hyperventilating when my father rushed in.

"It's time Hermione! Let's get going!" she shrieked, excited.

I had faced many things in my lifetime so far, and had even been in life-threatening situations and managed somewhat coolly. But for some reason, I was absolutely petrified as those few words left his mouth.

"Oh Merlin." I breathed. My father pulled me down the long corridor to a set of thick, black doors.

"Come on, 'Mione," he said, offering me his arm. I took a deep breath and took his arm. The doors opened, and as the light fell on my face, I could feel my face getting hotter and hotter. Then, I looked straight ahead and all of the worries that were on my mind evaporated. Draco was standing just down the isle smirking his signature-sexy smirk that I loved so much. The music of the organ playing "Canon in D" slowly got more and more quiet as my thoughts tuned into only one thing: Draco.

After what seemed like eternity, I was down the extremely long isle and in Draco's arms. He smiled at me, and we both turned to look at the Priest.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of Merlin, and in the face of this company, to join together this Man and this Woman in holy Matrimony. If anyone here objects to this marriage, please speak now or forever hold your peace." said the priest.

We turned to look at the crowd, and no one said a word. I faintly heard Draco mumble, "Good. I won't have to rip any heads off." I smiled.

I couldn't stop looking at Draco, and my mind just went blank. I guess you could say I was in Draco heaven.

But my thoughts were interrupted by Draco's deep voice saying, "As sure as hell, I do."

Everyone chuckled, and the priest turned to me.

"And do you, Hermione Jean Granger, take Draco Abraxas Malfoy to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do." I said. My voice was calmer than I had expected.

We exchanged rings, and I marveled over the single diamond on the platinum band around my finger. Finally, the words that made my heart jump were spoken.

"Now, by the power vested in me, I pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Draco didn't hesitate for a second. He leaned down, and kissed me. Once we broke apart, cheers erupted from the crowd. I saw Harry and Ginny whooping, Ron was clapping, although he looked slightly annoyed, both of our parents were clapping, and I saw Pansy sitting in the back crying.

I couldn't help but laugh, and I turned back to Draco.

He kissed me again, and I felt numb.

This is heaven.


Many Years Later

"Come on now, Scorpius! Don't dawdle! You're going to miss the train!" I called.

"Coming mom!" he called back, and he came running up. Draco and Rose came running up after him.

It had been years since our wedding, and today, we were taking Rose and Scorpius to the Hogwarts Express on Platform 9 3/4. Scorpius would be attending his second year and Rose would be attending her first. Scorpius was actually just about the spitting image of Draco, and Rose looked almost exactly like me. It was funny how that turned out.

"Do you have all of your things packed?" asked Draco, looking at Scorpius and Rose. They both nodded.

"Good. Now, Scorpius, make sure to look after your little sister, alright? And don't get in any trouble. I don't want to hear anything from the headmaster, again. Merlin, you're just like your father. And say hello to Neville for us! And a-" I started.

"I've got it, mom! Don't worry!" said Scorpius, impatiently. "Now, can I please look for Seth?"

"Ah, sure. And if you see Blaise, say hello to him and Seth for us." said Draco. Scorpius went running off.

"Rose, are you ready for your first year at Hogwarts?" asked Draco.

"I-I think so. As long as you write to me." She said, slowly.

I bent down and gave her a hug. "Don't worry, love. Of course we will!" I reassured her.

"Yeah, but daddy will write to you two more than mommy!" teased Draco. I slapped him on the arm. He chuckled.

The loud horn blared. Scorpius came running to us.

"The train's gonna leave! Come on Rose!" called Scorpius. He gave both Draco and I a hug and pulled Rose towards the train. They both disappeared into the crowd of students. I sighed.

"Rose will be fine. She's a lot like you." said Draco, squeezing my hand.

"Yeah… and I'm sure Scorpius will be fine. He's the spitting image of you." I teased.

He chuckled. "I bet Rosie will be in Slytherin."

"No way! Gryffindor! We already have Scorpius in Slytherin!"

"So? Slytherins overpower all."

"You wish. Gryffindor."

"Slytherin."

"Gryffindor."

"Slytherin."

"Gryffindor."

"Slytherin."

"Gryffindor."

We glared at each other for a bit, and then both started laughing.

"Some things will never change, will they?" he laughed.

"Of course not." I smiled.

He leaned in and kissed me again, and I felt complete. We would live together in happiness, forever Testing Each Other's Tolerance.
