It was a rainy day. No, I tell a lie, it wasn't. It was hailing. Hard.
"Oh fun!" Severus muttered sarcastically as he, Dumbledore and Ginny stepped out of the hotel.
"Why can't this be done in the hotel?" Ginny moaned. Obviously they had one thing in common. They both hated going out for a walk when it was hailing.
"Miss Weasley-"
"Maeve," Ginny interrupted
"-Maeve, you do know about wizarding weddings, right?" Severus asked her quietly.
"Yes," she grimaced, "My mother made me learn the whole bloody thing,"
Severus grinned slightly at her tone of voice. She quite obviously didn't come under the category of girls who spent all their time submerged in romance, falling in love and dreaming of weddings.
"Then you should know why it can't be done in the hotel," he mock-lectured her, before turning to Dumbledore and asked him, "So, tell me once again how you managed to talk me into this?", for about the millionth time that morning.
Dumbledore was starting to get mildly annoyed by both Severus and Ginny. They had been asking irritating questions ("Do I get to wear a wedding dress? How about a bright lime green one?" and "I hate Wednesdays! Why do we have to be married on a Wednesday? And who's teaching my classes?") and sharing suspiciously evil glances. Also, they were muttering a lot.
"Severus!" he snapped
Severus just glowered.
Ginny patted him on the arm and said, "Don't worry honey,"
That was another worrying thing. They'd started calling each other 'honey', on and off. Obviously they'd had a conversation after he'd retired for the night last evening. *They couldn't be an actual couple, could they?* he wondered, *But maybe, if I.....*
While Dumbledore was hatching up plots to mess around with the love-lives' of Hogwart's Potions Master and an ex-student who really should still be a student, Ginny was having something that might resemble a conversation with her husband-to-be, "Why's the umbrella falling apart?"
"Because it's hailing very hard!" Severus replied
"How come you get to hold the umbrella?" 'Maeve' looked at him in an inquisitive way.
"Coz I'm taller than you. Mind you, so are most ants," This was not strictly true, but near enough. Ginny was very short. On the other hand though, Severus was pretty tall. They were very opposite in that respect.
"Hey! That's mean!" both of them were actually enjoying this conversation. And they knew that the other was having fun.
After what seemed, to Dumbledore, forever, they arrived at the Kirkelle. It was the wizarding version of a church.
They then hit a minor snag. Severus refused to go into it.
"It looks like it's gonna fall down!" he protested. It was true. Obviously, mages couldn't build or design buildings very well. It looked like a number of lunatics, each with their own personal tastes, had got a collection of fancy (and freaky) statues, casually glues them all together and then randomly placed it upside-down.
"I don't wanna die!" Ginny wailed and attached herself to Severus's arm.
*Why me?* Dumbledore was thinking in despair.
"Yeah, we don't want it to fall down on us," Severus widened his eyes as he agreed with his wife-to-be.
After much difficulty and wondering of what the hell they'd had for breakfast, Dumbledore managed to get the other two into the Kirkelle.
Half an hour later, Severus and Ginny were standing in front of a large pool. The effects of the stuff they'd had at breakfast was beginning to wear off. The room they where in was decorated in pale silvery-blue colours. There where warm lights, but not too bright, and as far as Ginny could tell, no door.
They were both wearing white over-robes. It was part of the ceremony.
"So..." Ginny said, thinking, *C'mon Ginny! Grow a backbone, be strong! And cool! Er... and kick some ass... Well, I dunno who's!*
She had a dreadful tendency of arguing with herself.
"The pools full of veritaserum, not water," Severus commented randomly.
"I know!" Ginny snapped, "I have had the whole bloody ceremony shoved down my bloody throat by a mother who seems to expect me to get married right out of Hogwarts...Oh..." she tailed off, realising that she was doing just what she'd vowed never to do, what she'd just said, getting married straight from Hogwarts.
Severus patted her arm, "I know this sucks, but you can say whatever you like to me and tell all the teachers the things you'd never dare say in class,"
Ginny grinned wickedly at this.
*What have I got myself into?* Severus wondered.
"I'm cold..." Ginny trailed off.
"We are supposed to be in the veritaserum," Severus pointed out.
"Without the over-robes? We'll freeze!" Ginny gave him the full blast of her puppy eyes. Well...OK, puppies don't normally have violet eyes I think that was the colour of eyes I gave her....
"I know," he agreed.
With a sigh, Ginny removed her over-robe and got into the water as Severeus followed suit. They are NOT wearing their 'birthday suits', get your dirty mind out of the gutter! They were both wearing white bathing clothes. Or trunks and bikini, as muggles called them.
"So, why you?" Ginny asked Severus.
Severus raised an eyebrow.
"Why you and not one of the other teachers or someone totally different?" Ginny rephrased her question.
"Dunno," Severus replied, "Albus knows he can trust me, he thinks I ought to develop a love-life, I work at Hogwarts so he can breathe down our necks and I'm the youngest teacher there, etc"
"Youngest? Aren't you the same age as Professor Lupin?" Ginny asked
Severus winced
"I though you were in the same year at Hogwarts," she continued.
"Well....I...erm...I started Howarts when I was nine, so I am both younger than him and was in the same year as him," Severus confessed.
"Oh..." Ginny said
Severus looked her in the eyes and said, "So, tell me about yourself, my lips are sealed and the whole room is sound-proof,"
Ginny grinned slightly at him and began, "Well, I have six older brothers, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George and Ron, in order of age, me being the youngest. My full name is rather ridiculous, being Virginia Elspeth Anna- Louise Marlene Weasley, soon to be Snape," Severus smirked slightly at this, "My birthday is the 13th April and I'm sixteen. When I was eleven, I accidentally opened the Chamber of Secrets and nearly killed all the muggle- born students in the school, now tell me your life story,"
"Well, my full name is Severus Salazar Snape, so I count myself VERY lucky in NOT having a lisp-" Ginny sniggered slightly at this, "-My birthday is the 7th May, or at least, it was the last time I checked. I am thirty-five years old...I think, you'll have to ask Remus... I don't have any siblings and never have, but I had six cousins, sadly, two of them died," Severus finished off.
They sat in silence. Well, they didn't so much sit, but more leaned against the wall of the pool.
"What's the actual point of spending time in a truths potion?" Ginny asked suddenly. The question had been plaguing her for a bit now.
"It's not actually truths potion, but water with some truths potion in it," Severus began, "The point is that in the olden days, when there were arranged marriages, still are in fact, but during this time, the bride and groom would be getting to know each other. Also, in unarranged marriages, it was not expected for the couple to have seen each other quite as unclothed as this. Most had, but would never admit it,"
"We haven't," Ginny pointed out.
"No," Severus agreed. Their conversational points were quickly drying up.
Ginny tilted her head slightly and looked at him, "You've got a tattoo," she commented.
"What?" he said, not having being paying attention. *Bad Severus* he scolded himself, *She may be attractive, but still...*
"You've got a tattoo of a dragon. On the back of your right shoulder," Ginny repeated, still looking at him through her eyelashes. *Bad Ginny!* she was thinking, *He's your teacher! Well, OK, he isn't anymore but still...*, sadly for her, the annoying voice at the back of her head, that she had decided was gonna be Maeve Snape, was saying *You're MARRYING him! You know what that means...*
She had a very bad feeling that the voice at the back of her head was hinting at a three-letter word beginning with an 's'. And it wasn't Sev.
An hour later, they were in an orchard. It was a very nice orchard. It was in the middle of the Kirkelle. Somehow. It was full of lush green grass and large apple trees, with loads of green leaves and ripe green apples.
Severus and Ginny were now both wearing white ceremonial robes. And they had wet hair. The reason for their wet hair was a water fight. This was a slightly unique wedding.
"I like someone's taste," Severus commented.
"Only a true Slytherin could say something like that," Ginny sighed, "And, even worse, I agree. I love green, always have, always will, just not when it's in my hair,"
Dumbledore gave them each a look. They quickly shut up.
"Now, I am here to bind you. To wed thee to each other," he started the words for the ceremony. Both Severus and Ginny immediately stopped paying attention and felt their minds wonder randomly to more interesting things. Ginny was thinking about Maeve Snape, and how evil she was going to be. Severus was planning detentions.
"The wand of the man-" Severus gave Dumbledore his wand, "-And the wand of the woman-" Ginny also gave him her wand, "-I bind together," a silver light appeared and bound the two wands together momentarily.
Next Dumbledore asked for their wand arms, and Ginny was surprised to discover that Severus was left-handed, I don't care what the books say, he's left-handed in this fic!!!!!! and bound their wrists together with the same silver light for a moment.
Then he said a word, and they were there, with a silver ring on their ring fingers. Ginny's on her left hand, Severus's on his right. It was so that the ring was on the hand that wasn't their wand hand.
And that was the wedding over and done with.
