Great mahogany doors swung open and the first notes of the 'Wedding March' reached Serenity's ears.
Then she was walking down the aisle. With no 'real' father to give her away-Albus Dumbledore himself escorted her. Looking around she saw the beaming faces of her friends looking back at her.
Turning back to the front Serenity was surprised to see she was already at the bottom of the steps to the alter.
The groom reached down to help her up the stairs, and when she saw his face her heart beat so wildly against her chest she wondered if it would explode.
"Sirius?" she breathed.
"Don't be nervous, love." he replied.
Serenity nodded in silent shock, and took her place in front of the alter.
And so the ceremony began with Remus as the priest, and Lily and Sharlee as Serenity's bridesmaids.
For once James didn't sneak looks at Lily as he stood behind Sirius as his best man.
Remus read out the ceremony in his clear tenor, but Serenity heard none of it as she drowned in Sirius' gaze.
Serenity was thrown back into reality as Sirius spoke to her.
"I do." he pledged eagerly-snatching her hands and holding them, firmly.
She started to say "I do." as well when an image flashed through her mind.
It was of her when she was seven. A man came up behind her and wrenched her hands behind her.
"Hold her tight, McNair." Her father's voice came from the shadows.
The man named McNair tightened his already vice-like grip, and Serenity cried out.
The man named McNair whispered into her ear. "Don't scream now…the worst is yet to come…"
Then Serenity was once again looking into Sirius' deep, brown eyes. Those eyes darted across her face as he smiled in anticipation.
"I-I-I-I……" She tried to tell him that she would die to marry him, but the image of McNair kept persistently flashing through her mind.
Sirius' smile fell a bit, and he squeezed her hands.
Serenity took a step back, and almost fell over. A large black hole of swirling darkness had opened up behind her.
In fright she turned back to Sirius. "I d-" Serenity couldn't finish as McNair's face appeared over Sirius'.
Serenity fought back a scream and shook her head. McNair's face disappeared, leaving an angry Sirius behind.
Hands grabbed at her from behind. Yanking on her hair and shredding her wedding dress.
Serenity stumbled out of their grasp, and into Sirius' arms.
Serenity realized too late that the hands on her shoulders were more forceful than comforting. In one swift movement Sirius pushed her backwards, and she fell into the dark vortex.
One hand still clutched the edge of the hole. hands were pulling her down from all sides, and Serenity could feel her hand slipping.
Her hand slid again, and she looked up at Sirius with pleading eyes. He harrowed his and scowled. And she knew that he would not save her.
The hands were more forceful in their pulling, and she couldn't hold on any longer. Her fingers slid off the edge, and the hands disappeared as she plummeted downwards.
Her hands clutched her lightening bolt necklace, and tapping into the strength the symbol represented she called out.
"I do! I do. I do. I do. I DO!"
A light flashed in front of her so bright that she was forced to close her eyes. When she opened them again she was back at Malfoy Manor, lying on her side n the cold dungeon.
"I do. I do. I do." she whispered.
As long as I can tell him I love him, he won't let the darkness get me She thought to herself.
~*~
Serenity didn't know how long she laid there for, for there were no clocks or even windows with which to tell the time. It seemed like days, but may only have been for hours.
Then a house-elf she didn't know entered the dungeon.
"My name is Cassandra." It stated in a very non-elflike voice.
"I do. I do. I do." Serenity mumbled.
Cassandra moved forward, and brushed back a few blonde bands.
.::Can you speak with me like this?::. Cassandra thought at her.
Serenity's monotone chanting continued on.
After a moment, she answered.
.::Yes::.
.::Can you stand?::.
.::Yes. Where are you taking me?::.
Serenity stood up, and grabbed the little creature's hand. Her sapphire eyes were fixed on nothing.
" I do. I do. I do." she chanted.
.::Mister Malfoy wishes you to look well and healthy for when you meet Voldemort::.
Serenity didn't reply. Instead she thought a question at the little creature.
.::Cassandra isn't really the kind of name a house-elf normally has, is it?::.
The house-elf snorted .::I chose it myself! And I like it well enough. Who cares what anyone else thinks::.
Serenity sent a mental picture of herself smiling with a wink, though she could not do it physically.
.::I never said I didn't like it….::.
.:: Yes, though none of the other elves here like it. Seems I'll never be married, eh?::.
Serenity wrenched her mind back, so sharply she gave Cassandra a fright.
"Right." Cassandra said warily out loud. "Well, I'm to show you to your room. Let's go."
