Chapter nine part 2 – the Ceremony

The music started.

Draco stood at the alter and watched as the brides maids and ushers walked down the aisle. Two of Hermione's cousin's walked in the front, one from each side. Then Lavendar on Ron's arm and Ginny on Harry's. All the girls wore blue dresses. They had long flowing skirts and tight bodices and puffy sleeves. Each carried a small buca of white roses. Their hands were covered with white lace gloves. The guys wore just plain black tuxedos and were cleaned up. The girls went to Draco's left and the guys stood behind him.

The music changes slightly and Hermione and her father came into view. Draco took a deep breath at the sight of Hermione see no longer looked like bucktoothed third year or the saucy fourth year nor the hot seventh year who could have any guy see wanted but didn't. She now looked like a Queen no, strike that a goddess. Draco swallowed and stepped forward to take Hermione from her father. A priest stood waiting.

(ok lets skip the boring stuff)

"Do you Hermione take Draco to be you husband?"

"I do."

"Do you Draco take Hermione to be your wife?"

"I do."

"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Draco gathered Hermione into his arms and kissed her.

"May I present Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy."

Cheers were called from all present.
