Blotched Job II

"Harry, calm down," Ron said, straightening the other boy's tie.

"I can't calm down, I've never been more nervous in my life," Harry replied.

Hermione walked in to see the two boys getting ready, "This is the strangest wedding I've ever seen in my life. Ron and I are your Bestmen and the flower girl is Winky in a pink dress and the Minister asked Albus Dumbledore if he's nervous about the honeymoon."

"Have you seen Crabbe and Goyle yet?" Harry asked.

"Yes, they're out there. Crabbe came in blue, but Arthur said he'd fix it. I feel strange in this suit," Hermione replied.

"You look fine, Hermione, very snazzy," Ron replied, bending over to give Hermione a kiss.

"Ew, guys take it outside, I don't want any het spoiling my day," Harry said.

Ron and Hermione grinned. "Oh, he's so cute, a nervous bride."

"We've been over this before! I'm a Groom! I'm just. the OTHER Groom," Harry replied.

Ginny ran into the tent, looking nervous, "Harry, there aren't enough chairs!"

"What?!" Harry and Hermione exploded.

"Uh, Hermione, I think Harry's stressed enough. Can you go do this, please?" Ron asked.

Hermione ran out of the tent with Ginny. Suddenly, Remus came bursting in.

"Harry! Your floohub to Samatra for the honeymoon has been queued!" he said.

"Shit, Remus, go call another floohub and see if there's anything that can be done!" Ron ordered. Remus disappeared through the flap.

"Don't worry, Harry," Ron said soothingly. "It's going to be ok."

Mrs. Weasley ran by, spotted the tent and ran in, "The camera is broken and we can't fix it!"

Colin followed her looking on the verge of tears. "Nobody can find the other Groom. it's like he's disappeared!" he cried.

"That's it!" Harry screeched. "I'm out of here!"

Harry stormed off, leaving Ron, Molly and Colin in his wake.

The wedding had been planned so carefully, and now it seemed that nothing was going right. Now Draco wasn't even there to make things better. Harry must have sat by the waterside for half an hour. He had very good memories of the water.

"Harry! What are you doing here?" Draco asked, out of breath and running to where Harry was sitting. "The wedding starts in like five minutes."

"I thought you weren't coming." Harry replied, shocked.

"The twins locked me in a cupboard last night. it's a long story. But I'm here! You're a stupid one for jumping to conclusions, you know that?" Draco replied, laughing a little. "Great Gryffindor prat!"

"You really want to do this?" Harry asked in between giggles.

"Merlin, what possessed me?" Draco replied, "I asked you, didn't I? You with your morals, and sense of decency and all that, I hated you for it for so long. But I'll be damned if I'm going to let you sit here by the lake. You're thoroughly predictable, it's a real turn-on?"

"Yes, because I'm Gryffindor!" Harry replied.

"You have to come, anyway! My mother and father arrived!" Draco said cheerfully.

"How did you get him to come?" Harry asked, totally shocked.

"Mother doped him to the gills. She didn't want him to spoil our big day!" Draco replied cheerfully and held out his hand for Harry.

Harry laughed and took his hand as they headed for the ceremony.

They had decided, after much discussion, that they would both walk down the isle. Lucius Malfoy would rather die than give Draco away to another man, and James Potter wasn't there anymore, so it was just the two of them.

They reached the top, and the Minister began reciting the vows. Suddenly, Crabbe needed to go to the bathroom.

"Uh, Draco, s'cuse me. Draco."

"What? In the name of Merlin, my father and everything holy is the matter with you Crabbe?" he snapped.

The Minister looked like he was constipated as he heard everything Draco had snapped. It was good, it reminded Harry of everything he was about to marry into. He realised, he didn't care. This kind of thing made Draco very unique.

"I, uh, I have to go to the little boy's room," Crabbe replied.

Draco sighed and turned to the audience. "Do any of you mind?" After his snapping, no one was willing to so much as breath, let alone object to Crabbe going to the bathroom. Draco turned to the Minister, "just a minute. Crabbe! Go and be quick!"

So everyone waited. Twiddling their thumbs until Crabbe came back, blushing furiously with his fly down.

"Do you, .Harry. James. Potter, take. Draco. Marcus. Malfoy to be your lawfully wedded.uh. husband? To. uh.. to have and to. hold, in sickness. and uh. and in health, that's right, for as long as you both shall.. Live, yes live?" The Minister asked.

"I do," Harry replied.

"And do you, Draco. Macus. Malfoy, take. James. Harry. No! Harry James. Potter to be your lawfully wedded. husband again? I dare say! To have and to.to. hold, in sickness and in medical emergency, no wait. health, for as long as you both shall die, er.live?" The Minister asked.

"I do, after all, I'm not here for the cake!" Draco replied.

"Excuse me?" the Minister asked.

"Uh, nothing, sorry, keep going," Harry butt in.

"Right then, take these rings and. uhm."

Needless to say, the ceremony was VERY long. Draco had, after all, insisted upon an old family Minister that would forget his head if it were not firmly attached.

At least it was a ceremony that no one would forget quickly.

"So, Mr. Potter-Malfoy," Draco said, "how is married life suiting you?"

"Well, Mr. Malfoy-Potter," Harry replied, "It's even weirder than I thought it would be."

"Oh? Really?"

"Yes, but a good weird. A VERY good weird."

"Save judgement for the honeymoon, Please."
