Chapter 12: Christmas At Hogwarts Serpent Style
Draco walked Christiana out in the garden where they overheard Harry & Ginny talking.
"Harry, there's something you should know," Ginny said.
"What is it, Ginny?" Harry asked.
"I'm pregnant."
"Ginny, you know there's something I've been meaning to ask you for a long time," Harry said as he got down on one knee & got a diamond ring from his pocket that he'd bought for Ginny in Spain. "Virginia Ann Weasley, you're my everything, & I love you with all of my heart. Nothing would make me happier than for you to be my wife. Will you marry me?"
"Yes."
Then Ron & Hermione ran down to congradulate them.
"I always knew my little sister would marry my best friend!" Ron exclaimed.
"Yeah, congradulations, you two," Hermione said.
"Say, 'Mione, what do you say about becoming my girlfriend?"
"I say I'd be delighted to be your girlfriend."
"Finally, the two of you get together!" Harry exclaimed.
"I was about to say the same thing," Draco said.
"Hey, congradulations Harry & Ginny on your engagement & your baby," Christiana said.
"These four got their couple moments, now it's our turn," Draco said as he took a diamond engagement ring that he had bought in Spain to give to Christiana & got down on one knee. "Christiana Jhenae, you deserve to have a proper marriage proposal. I love you more than life itself, & thanks to you, I now know that I can truly love someone other than myself. I'll always love you for that. I want us to get married & be a family, you; me; & our baby. Would you please do me the great honor of becoming my wife this Christmas?"
"Yes, Draco," she sobbed. "I'll marry you this Christmas."
They then headed to the Prefect Tower b/c immediately after the Yule Ball, all prefects were to get ready to attend a meeting to give out their class rankings at the end of the first semester & to address a few other issues. Christiana & Draco went to their room & put on their pajamas. Draco put on his boxers & a t-shirt, while Christiana put on a pair of sweat pants & a tank top. They then met all prefects, the Head Boy & Girl, Lupin, Snape, McGonnagal, & Dumbledore.
"To begin this meeting we will call the role by house," Dennis, the head boy said. "Professor Snape will call Slytherins, Professor McGonnagal will call Gryffindors, Professor Lupin will call Ravenclaws & the heads, & Professor Dumblebore will call Hufflepuffs."
Professor Snape looked around the room & saw that all of the Slytherin prefects were in attendance, & said, "No need to call them, I see they're all here. It would be much easier, if all of us did that."
All professors obliged & Dumbledore looked at them all & began to speak, "I'm going to give out your current Heads of the Class from 5th year to 7th year. Our 5th year heads of class are Ginny Weasley & Colin Creevey. The 6th year head of class are.umm this is surprising.Hermione Granger who was head of class last year is 2nd out of the 6th years."
"WHAT ?!?! Professor Dumbledore this can't be right!" Hermione exclaimed as some Slytherins began to laugh.
"Who is head of the class?" McGonnagal asked.
"Christiana Snape," Dumbledore answered as Christiana grinned. "The young man who is head of the 6th year boys is third in the class behind Miss Snape & Miss Granger. Congradulations Mr. Malfoy. I think it's already obvious who is head of the 7th years. Both of our heads are still head of the class."
Hermione still was shocked. She'd been knocked out of first, by Snape's niece no doubt. Ron put his arm around her to try to make her feel better but nothing was going to work because she was way too upset about this.
"I have nothing to discuss in the meeting so we can adjourn, if that's ok with the heads & the rest of the Professors present," Lupin said as they all nodded in dismissal.
Christiana spent the next few nights dwelling on if Voldemort & the Death Eaters would find her out as a double agent. She hadn't had anymore meetings until Voldemort & a few of his Death Eaters had taken up residence in the Chamber of Secrets, the only place in Hogwarts they could get into. Then she woke up in the middle of the night to them calling Jhenae to the Chamber.
"Draco, wake up," she said.
"What is it, baby?" he asked.
"Jhenae is being called."
"Be careful."
"Don't worry. I'll be back soon, & I have some back-up."
"Snuffles can't back you up on his own."
"That's why Remus Lupin & my dear Uncle Snivellus are there to help, too. They'll be hiding close to where I'll be in the Chamber."
"Be careful."
"I will," she said as she used her powers to change into her Death Eater's clothing & apparated to the Chamber of Secrets.
"You called me, Master," Jhenae said.
"Yes, Jhenae, I did. It has been brought to my attention that you're expecting a child," Voldemort answered.
"Yes, master, I'm 5 months along."
"Would you mind inquiring us on who the father is, Jhenae?" Lucius asked.
"I prefer not to talk about it, Lucius," Jhenae answered.
"He isn't working for the enemy is he because we already believe that you're following the same path as a death eater 17 years ago," Salem Snape said.
"For your information, I'm not Serenity. I don't double cross Voldemort. My child's father isn't siding with anyone that I know of," Jhenae replied.
"Then why won't you tell us who he is?" Voldemort asked.
"Master, it's something that can cause even a death eater pain," Jhenae answered.
"Very well, then, Jhenae. We believe you, but if any concrete evidence comes up that you're aiding the enemy, you'll be facing the same fate that Serenity did. You're dismissed."
Jhenae quickly apparated to the location of Snape, Lupin, & Snuffles to tell them that the coast is clear & to get them out of the Chamber.
"Coast is clear guys," Christiana said as they came out from under their invisibility cloaks.
"It was close, though," Lupin said.
"Yea, bloody Wormtail almost caught us quite a few times," Sirius put in.
"If he would have, Christiana Jhenae would have been exposed to this & she'd be sentenced to death as soon as the child is born," Snape hissed.
"Let's just get out of here before we get caught," Christiana said as they joined hands & she apparated them to the prefect common room.
Sirius immediately turned back into Snuffles & took his bed on the couch while Lupin & Snape went to their quarters. Christiana, then, apparated back to Draco, who was waiting for her. She told him that she was safe, for now, & not to worry.
Christmas Eve arrived not long after that. To keep Draco & Christiana from seeing each other, the guys stayed in Hagrid's Hut, while the girls stayed in the Dungeons. Both Draco & Christiana got to celebrate their last night before their wedding, but it wasn't anything major, just a little fun. When Christmas Day arrived, the girls got ready in the Dungeons & waited on Snape & Lupin to come & get them when the coast was clear that Draco wasn't going to see them. Christiana's dress was virgin white with a hint of peach. The sleeves hung gently off her shoulders, it showed half of her back, & the split was up to her left thigh. She had her hair put behind her head, held back there by a single peach colored rose. Her bridesmaids, Rainyah; Hermione; & Ginny, were peach dresses similar to the style of Ginny's Yule Ball dress. All of them carried a bouquet of peach colored roses.
Dumbledore was to officiate the ceremony, & the Order of the Phoenix would be attending as guests. The reception was to be held in the prefect common room, given by all the Hogwarts Professors. Professor Snape would be giving the bride away. The music began to play as the guests had all got into their seats.
You set my soul at ease
Chased darkness out of view
Left your desperate spell on me
Say you feel it too I know you do
Dumbledore & Draco walked out & took their places in front of the guests, as they awaited to see the wedding party but most of all the bride.
I've got so much more to give
This can't die, I yearn to live
Pour yourself all over me
And I'll cherish every drop here on my knees
Rainyah began to walk down the aisle escorted by her father, Remus. They, then took their places in front of the guests with Professor Dumbledore & Draco, who was still awaiting to see his bride.
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do
Cuz from the moment that I saw your face
and felt the fire of your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I wanna love you forever
Hermione began to walk down the aisle escorted by her boyfriend Ron Weasley. When they reached the end of the aisle, they took their places with Rainyah, Remus, Professor Dumbledore, & Draco, who was getting very impatient when it came to seeing his bride.
My mind fails to understand
What my heart tells me to do
And I'd give up all I have just to be with you
And that would do
I've always been taught to win
And I never thought I'd fail
Be at the mercy of a man,
I've never been
Now I only want to be right where you are
Ginny began to walk down the aisle escorted by her fiance' & the father of her unborn child, Harry Potter. Taking their places amongst the wedding party, they could tell that Draco was growing more & more impatient that he hadn't laid eyes on Christiana yet.
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do
Cuz from the moment that I saw your face
and felt the fire of your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I wanna love you forever
The guests stood as the doors opened one last time for the bride to make her last walk down the aisle as an unmarried woman. Christiana had a smile on her face & a tear in her eye as Professor Snape began to escort her down the aisle to her groom.
In my life I've learned that heaven never waits
Let's take this now before it's gone like yesterday
Cuz when I'm with you there's nowhere else
That I would ever wanna be no
I'm breathing for the next second I can feel you
Loving me.I'm gonna Love
Draco met Christiana at the end of the aisle as he took her other arm & they stood to face the music as the final chorus of the song began to play.
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do
Cuz from the moment that I saw your face
and felt the fire of your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I wanna love you forever
The ceremony began, & Snape got to take his seat. No one had any objections to this union & it was time for them to say their traditional vows.
"Draco Severus Malfoy, do you take Christiana Jhenae Snape Alejerno as your wife for better or worse, in sickness & health, for richer or poorer, until death do you part?" Dumbledore asked.
"I do," Draco answered.
"Christiana Jhenae Snape Alejerno, do you take Draco Severus Malfoy as you husband for better or worse, in sickness & health, for richer or poorer, until death do you part?" Dumbledore asked.
"I do," Christiana said.
Dumbledore, then, looked to the Weasley twins as they began to play another song.
When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along.
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...
Just close your eyes (close your eyes)
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no.)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you.
This I promise you.
Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...
And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby
Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you...
Dumbledore then looked at Draco & said, "Draco Severus Malfoy, would you please recite the vows that you wrote for Christiana Jhenae Snape Alejerno?"
Draco looked deeply into Christiana's eyes, she way smiling but there were tears in them.
"Christiana, I never thought that I'd ever be able to truly love anyone but myself. That was until I met you. You showed my how to live & love in such a short amount of time. I can't live or breathe without you. You are my everything. I love you more than life itself, & I'll always love you," Draco said with a tear in his eye.
Then Dumbledore looked to Christiana & said, "Christiana Jhenae Snape Alejerno, would you please recite the vows that you wrote for Draco Severus Malfoy?"
Christiana looked deep into Draco's teary eyes & said, "Draco, you are my heart & soul, the air I breathe. Without the love that you give me, I wouldn't be able to live another day. You're my world. You showed me how love overcomes all obstacles, & I love you for that. I'll love you until the day I die & throughout all eternity."
Then, Fred & George began to play another song:
I wonder how I ever made it through a day
How did I settle for a world in shades of gray
When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same
And you don't know why
Then I looked into your eyes
Where the road stretched out in front of me,
And I realize
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again I wasn't really living
I never lived before your love
I wanted more than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you and my heart is in your hands
And I don't know how
I survived without your kiss
Cause you've given me a reason to exist
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again I wasn't really living
I never lived before your love
I never lived before your love
And I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you breathed your love into me just in time
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again I wasn't really living
I never lived
I never lived
Before your love
At the conclusion of the song, Lupin handed Draco Christiana's ring & Rainyah handed Christiana Draco's ring.
"Draco Severus Malfoy, would you please bind the vows that you spoke to Christian Jhenae Snape Alejerno, by placing the wedding band on her finger," Dumbledore said.
"With this ring, I thee wed, as a symbol of my eternal love," Draco said as he slipped the ring onto Christiana's ring finger on her left hand.
"Christiana Jhenae Snape Alejerno, would you please bind the vows that you spoke to Draco Severus Malfoy, by placing the wedding band on his finger."
"With this ring, I thee wed, as a symbol of my eternal love," Christiana said as she slipped the ring onto Draco's ring finger on his left hand.
Then another song began to play.
When the world wasn't upside down
I could take all the time I had
But I'm not gonna wait when a moment can vanish so fast
Cause every kiss is a kiss u can never get back
Lift me up in your eyes
If u told me that it's what heaven is well you'd be right
I've been waiting forever for this
This is the night
When the answer to all my dreams
Is as close as a touch away
why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say
Lift me up in your eyes
If u told me that its what heaven is well you'd be right
Hold me close to your heart
I would go with you to the ends of the earth and we'll fly
I've been waiting forever for this
This is the night
This is the night where we capture forever and all our tomorrows begin
After tonight we will never be lonely again
Lift me up in your eyes
If your told me that its heaven is well you'd be right
Hold me close to your heart
I would go with you to the ends of the earth and we'll fly
I've been waiting forever for this
This is the night
"Now our couple will light the unity candle to join them as one being. The two smaller candles represent Draco & Christiana as individuals & the larger candle represents them as one. They will at the same time light their individual candle & then use those candles to light the unity candle," Dumbledore said as he look toward Fred & George who began to play another song as Draco took Christiana's hand & they walked to the table where the candles sat.
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all
Draco & Christiana both lit their candles as a symbol of the two of them as individuals.
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
Then, they took their individual candles & lit their unity candle representing them as one being.
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
As they song finished, Draco took Christiana's hand & led them back to their place before their guests.
"Now, I pronounce you husband & wife. Draco, you may kiss your bride," Dumbledore said.
Draco leaned in & kissed her passionately. Then, they parted lips to face their guests.
"Ladies & Gentlemen, I now present to you for the first time Mr. & Mrs. Draco Severus Malfoy," Dumbledore said as Draco walked Christiana to the Prefect Tower where their wedding reception was to be held.
When they began greeting their guests, Fred & George Weasley stood up & said, "Stop greeting the guests to have your first dance as Mr. & Mrs. Malfoy."
Draco led Christiana out to the center of the floor as Fred & George started the music.
The loneliness of nights so long
The search for strength to carry on
My every hope had seemed to die
My eyes had no more tears to cry
Then like the sun shined from up above
You surrounded me with your endless love
And all the things I couldn't see
Are now so clear to me
You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray on bended knee
That you will always be
My everything
Now all my hopes and all my dreams
Are suddenly reality
You've opened up my heart to feel
The kind of love that's truly real
A guiding light that'll never fade
There's not a thing in life that I would ever trade
For the love you give and won't let go
I hope you'll always know
You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray on bended knee
That you will always be
My everything
You're the breath of life in me
The only one that sets me free
And you have made my soul complete
For all time
For all time
You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray on bended knee
That you will always be
My everything
The reception went on for a few hours & then everyone left except the Weasleys, Maria Snape, the Professors, the wedding party, & the newly wed Malfoy couple. They all changed into more comfortable clothes & gathered around the Christmas tree to exchange gifts.
Mrs. Weasley & Maria helped hand out the two expectant mother's gifts while the guys handed out everyone else's gifts. Christiana reached for her first gift that was wrapped in pink wrapping w/ a pink bow.
"Draco, this one's from mama'," Christiana said as she tore the wrapping open & pulled out a beautiful pink newborn baby outfit. "Gracias, mama'. Aww, honey, it's beautiful can you imagine our mija in this?"
"You know I can. This present is to us from father," Draco said as he opened the present & pulled out a blue baby blanket. "My baby blanket, it figures."
"Well, mama' gave us my baby blanket."
"Now, that we can use."
Not only did Christiana & Draco get a lot of baby stuff but Ginny & Harry did as well. This was a true serpent style Hogwarts holiday though. Draco & Christiana were now husband & wife, much to the surprise of the rest of the student body especially Pansy Parkinson. Christiana was now Mrs. Draco Malfoy & nothing could change that.

Chapter 12: Christmas At Hogwarts Serpent Style

"Yes, Draco," she sobbed. "I'll marry you this Christmas."
They then headed to the Prefect Tower b/c immediately after the Yule Ball, all prefects were to get ready to attend a meeting to give out their class rankings at the end of the first semester & to address a few other issues. Christiana & Draco went to their room & put on their pajamas. Draco put on his boxers & a t-shirt, while Christiana put on a pair of sweat pants & a tank top. They then met all prefects, the Head Boy & Girl, Lupin, Snape, McGonnagal, & Dumbledore.
"To begin this meeting we will call the role by house," Dennis, the head boy said. "Professor Snape will call Slytherins, Professor McGonnagal will call Gryffindors, Professor Lupin will call Ravenclaws & the heads, & Professor Dumblebore will call Hufflepuffs."

"What is it, baby?" he asked.
"Jhenae is being called."
"Be careful."
"Don't worry. I'll be back soon, & I have some back-up."
"Snuffles can't back you up on his own."
"That's why Remus Lupin & my dear Uncle Snivellus are there to help, too. They'll be hiding close to where I'll be in the Chamber."

"Yea, bloody Wormtail almost caught us quite a few times," Sirius put in.
"If he would have, Christiana Jhenae would have been exposed to this & she'd be sentenced to death as soon as the child is born," Snape hissed.
"Let's just get out of here before we get caught," Christiana said as they joined hands & she apparated them to the prefect common room.
Sirius immediately turned back into Snuffles & took his bed on the couch while Lupin & Snape went to their quarters. Christiana, then, apparated back to Draco, who was waiting for her. She told him that she was safe, for now, & not to worry.
Christmas Eve arrived not long after that. To keep Draco & Christiana from seeing each other, the guys stayed in Hagrid's Hut, while the girls stayed in the Dungeons. Both Draco & Christiana got to celebrate their last night before their wedding, but it wasn't anything major, just a little fun. When Christmas Day arrived, the girls got ready in the Dungeons & waited on Snape & Lupin to come & get them when the coast was clear that Draco wasn't going to see them. Christiana's dress was virgin white with a hint of peach. The sleeves hung gently off her shoulders, it showed half of her back, & the split was up to her left thigh. She had her hair put behind her head, held back there by a single peach colored rose. Her bridesmaids, Rainyah; Hermione; & Ginny, were peach dresses similar to the style of Ginny's Yule Ball dress. All of them carried a bouquet of peach colored roses.
Dumbledore was to officiate the ceremony, & the Order of the Phoenix would be attending as guests. The reception was to be held in the prefect common room, given by all the Hogwarts Professors. Professor Snape would be giving the bride away. The music began to play as the guests had all got into their seats.
You set my soul at ease
Chased darkness out of view
Left your desperate spell on me
Say you feel it too I know you do
Dumbledore & Draco walked out & took their places in front of the guests, as they awaited to see the wedding party but most of all the bride.
I've got so much more to give
This can't die, I yearn to live
Pour yourself all over me
And I'll cherish every drop here on my knees
Rainyah began to walk down the aisle escorted by her father, Remus. They, then took their places in front of the guests with Professor Dumbledore & Draco, who was still awaiting to see his bride.
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do
Cuz from the moment that I saw your face
and felt the fire of your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I wanna love you forever
Hermione began to walk down the aisle escorted by her boyfriend Ron Weasley. When they reached the end of the aisle, they took their places with Rainyah, Remus, Professor Dumbledore, & Draco, who was getting very impatient when it came to seeing his bride.
My mind fails to understand
What my heart tells me to do
And I'd give up all I have just to be with you
And that would do
I've always been taught to win
And I never thought I'd fail
Be at the mercy of a man,
I've never been
Now I only want to be right where you are
Ginny began to walk down the aisle escorted by her fiance' & the father of her unborn child, Harry Potter. Taking their places amongst the wedding party, they could tell that Draco was growing more & more impatient that he hadn't laid eyes on Christiana yet.
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do
Cuz from the moment that I saw your face
and felt the fire of your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I wanna love you forever
The guests stood as the doors opened one last time for the bride to make her last walk down the aisle as an unmarried woman. Christiana had a smile on her face & a tear in her eye as Professor Snape began to escort her down the aisle to her groom.
In my life I've learned that heaven never waits
Let's take this now before it's gone like yesterday
Cuz when I'm with you there's nowhere else
That I would ever wanna be no
I'm breathing for the next second I can feel you
Loving me.I'm gonna Love
Draco met Christiana at the end of the aisle as he took her other arm & they stood to face the music as the final chorus of the song began to play.
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do
Cuz from the moment that I saw your face
and felt the fire of your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I wanna love you forever
The ceremony began, & Snape got to take his seat. No one had any objections to this union & it was time for them to say their traditional vows.
"Draco Severus Malfoy, do you take Christiana Jhenae Snape Alejerno as your wife for better or worse, in sickness & health, for richer or poorer, until death do you part?" Dumbledore asked.
"I do," Draco answered.
"Christiana Jhenae Snape Alejerno, do you take Draco Severus Malfoy as you husband for better or worse, in sickness & health, for richer or poorer, until death do you part?" Dumbledore asked.
"I do," Christiana said.
Dumbledore, then, looked to the Weasley twins as they began to play another song.
When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along.
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...
Just close your eyes (close your eyes)
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no.)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you.
This I promise you.
Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...
And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby
Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you...
Dumbledore then looked at Draco & said, "Draco Severus Malfoy, would you please recite the vows that you wrote for Christiana Jhenae Snape Alejerno?"
Draco looked deeply into Christiana's eyes, she way smiling but there were tears in them.
"Christiana, I never thought that I'd ever be able to truly love anyone but myself. That was until I met you. You showed my how to live & love in such a short amount of time. I can't live or breathe without you. You are my everything. I love you more than life itself, & I'll always love you," Draco said with a tear in his eye.
Then Dumbledore looked to Christiana & said, "Christiana Jhenae Snape Alejerno, would you please recite the vows that you wrote for Draco Severus Malfoy?"
Christiana looked deep into Draco's teary eyes & said, "Draco, you are my heart & soul, the air I breathe. Without the love that you give me, I wouldn't be able to live another day. You're my world. You showed me how love overcomes all obstacles, & I love you for that. I'll love you until the day I die & throughout all eternity."
Then, Fred & George began to play another song:
I wonder how I ever made it through a day
How did I settle for a world in shades of gray
When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same
And you don't know why
Then I looked into your eyes
Where the road stretched out in front of me,
And I realize
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again I wasn't really living
I never lived before your love
I wanted more than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you and my heart is in your hands
And I don't know how
I survived without your kiss
Cause you've given me a reason to exist
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again I wasn't really living
I never lived before your love
I never lived before your love
And I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you breathed your love into me just in time
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again I wasn't really living
I never lived
I never lived
Before your love
At the conclusion of the song, Lupin handed Draco Christiana's ring & Rainyah handed Christiana Draco's ring.
"Draco Severus Malfoy, would you please bind the vows that you spoke to Christian Jhenae Snape Alejerno, by placing the wedding band on her finger," Dumbledore said.
"With this ring, I thee wed, as a symbol of my eternal love," Draco said as he slipped the ring onto Christiana's ring finger on her left hand.
"Christiana Jhenae Snape Alejerno, would you please bind the vows that you spoke to Draco Severus Malfoy, by placing the wedding band on his finger."
"With this ring, I thee wed, as a symbol of my eternal love," Christiana said as she slipped the ring onto Draco's ring finger on his left hand.
Then another song began to play.
When the world wasn't upside down
I could take all the time I had
But I'm not gonna wait when a moment can vanish so fast
Cause every kiss is a kiss u can never get back
Lift me up in your eyes
If u told me that it's what heaven is well you'd be right
I've been waiting forever for this
This is the night
When the answer to all my dreams
Is as close as a touch away
why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say
Lift me up in your eyes
If u told me that its what heaven is well you'd be right
Hold me close to your heart
I would go with you to the ends of the earth and we'll fly
I've been waiting forever for this
This is the night
This is the night where we capture forever and all our tomorrows begin
After tonight we will never be lonely again
Lift me up in your eyes
If your told me that its heaven is well you'd be right
Hold me close to your heart
I would go with you to the ends of the earth and we'll fly
I've been waiting forever for this
This is the night
"Now our couple will light the unity candle to join them as one being. The two smaller candles represent Draco & Christiana as individuals & the larger candle represents them as one. They will at the same time light their individual candle & then use those candles to light the unity candle," Dumbledore said as he look toward Fred & George who began to play another song as Draco took Christiana's hand & they walked to the table where the candles sat.
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all
Draco & Christiana both lit their candles as a symbol of the two of them as individuals.
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
Then, they took their individual candles & lit their unity candle representing them as one being.
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
As they song finished, Draco took Christiana's hand & led them back to their place before their guests.
"Now, I pronounce you husband & wife. Draco, you may kiss your bride," Dumbledore said.
Draco leaned in & kissed her passionately. Then, they parted lips to face their guests.
"Ladies & Gentlemen, I now present to you for the first time Mr. & Mrs. Draco Severus Malfoy," Dumbledore said as Draco walked Christiana to the Prefect Tower where their wedding reception was to be held.
When they began greeting their guests, Fred & George Weasley stood up & said, "Stop greeting the guests to have your first dance as Mr. & Mrs. Malfoy."
Draco led Christiana out to the center of the floor as Fred & George started the music.
The loneliness of nights so long
The search for strength to carry on
My every hope had seemed to die
My eyes had no more tears to cry
Then like the sun shined from up above
You surrounded me with your endless love
And all the things I couldn't see
Are now so clear to me
You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray on bended knee
That you will always be
My everything
Now all my hopes and all my dreams
Are suddenly reality
You've opened up my heart to feel
The kind of love that's truly real
A guiding light that'll never fade
There's not a thing in life that I would ever trade
For the love you give and won't let go
I hope you'll always know
You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray on bended knee
That you will always be
My everything
You're the breath of life in me
The only one that sets me free
And you have made my soul complete
For all time
For all time
You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray on bended knee
That you will always be
My everything
The reception went on for a few hours & then everyone left except the Weasleys, Maria Snape, the Professors, the wedding party, & the newly wed Malfoy couple. They all changed into more comfortable clothes & gathered around the Christmas tree to exchange gifts.
Mrs. Weasley & Maria helped hand out the two expectant mother's gifts while the guys handed out everyone else's gifts. Christiana reached for her first gift that was wrapped in pink wrapping w/ a pink bow.
"Draco, this one's from mama'," Christiana said as she tore the wrapping open & pulled out a beautiful pink newborn baby outfit. "Gracias, mama'. Aww, honey, it's beautiful can you imagine our mija in this?"
"You know I can. This present is to us from father," Draco said as he opened the present & pulled out a blue baby blanket. "My baby blanket, it figures."
"Well, mama' gave us my baby blanket."
"Now, that we can use."
Not only did Christiana & Draco get a lot of baby stuff but Ginny & Harry did as well. This was a true serpent style Hogwarts holiday though. Draco & Christiana were now husband & wife, much to the surprise of the rest of the student body especially Pansy Parkinson. Christiana was now Mrs. Draco Malfoy & nothing could change that.
