Wedding Bells Just Turned to Rust

Chapter 6

The wedding was a very grand affair and Narcissa could have sworn she didn't know half of the guests. She had tried desperately to find Morgana and ask her to come but she had been unable to contact her, or maybe Morgana just didn't want to reply.

Lucius' best man was a deatheater she knew well, he had been in Slytherin at the same time as her, two years below her.

"Severus, thank you so much for making sure Lucius got here on time, I was so afraid that I'd get here and it would transpire he'd run off with one of my bridesmaids or something!" she laughed, still in her white satin wedding dress, and hugged a fairly flustered Severus Snape. She suspected that he might be just a little bit sweet on her and she was very fond of him.

"You look beautiful."

"Thank you. I hardly know anyone here! They're all Lucius' friends or dignitaries of some sort."

"Didn't you write the guest list?"

"Are you kidding Lucius had everything planned down to the last piece of confetti! He's such a perfectionist, I'm half surprised he didn't want to choose my dress!"

The two of them laughed and Lucius walked over to slip an arm around his young bride.

"Not trying to steal her from me are you Sev? Too late," he held up her left hand, displaying the beautiful silver wedding ring, "she's mine now!"

"Wouldn't dream of it." Severus replied smiling at the happy couple.

"I like him, he's such a nice guy, if a little reserved!" Narcissa said fondly as he walked away.

"Yes, he's a good man, he'll go far." Lucius agreed, but Narcissa had the feeling that they were not quite on the same page.

*******

Finally Sev appears, he is important in this fic it just took him a while to make an appearance.

Ok, I know all these three chapters were really short but that's why I put them all up together, the next one's short as well I'm afraid but there's a long chapter after that. The chapters tend to get longer as you progress through the story, this one's the shortest of the lot. In case anyone was wondering there will be 19 chapters in all. There will be a sequel too but I haven't finished writing that yet.

Take pity on me and don't make me beg for reviews! Please!!!
