AH! OK, I am SOOOO sorry this took so long. If you want a good reason,
well here it is, first my notebook's wire (you know the one which recharges
the battery or you can just use it to plug into a regular electrical
socket), well that one broke, meaning I had no way to use my laptop. THEN
my internet access decided to go all screwy so I couldn't even log online
using my family's desktop. ARG!! Ok, but everything's working again and I
was finally able to finish this part.
Minerva's wedding dress is like the one found here (Ok, there WAS a website listed here, so I'm going to try and post the site under my BIO, so if you click on my penname you should be able to find the dress. OK? Thanks.) Isn't it pretty? I saw it and it just seemed like something simple that Minerva would pick out. Simple, yet classy!
Part 10
"MARRIED?!?!?!?!"
Minerva cringed when she saw the look in the other woman's eyes.
"Now it's not MY choice, but..."
"AH, Minerva, you can't get married in three hours."
"Two hours and 25 minutes actually." Minerva interrupted, and then shut up as she saw the look on Hanna's face.
"That's not enough TIME! I mean, what about the guests? Your parents and brothers? What about his family? What about your makeup and hair and dress? OH! And you've already seen each other and you're not allowed to on the day of the wedding!"
Minerva couldn't hold it back any longer, she had to laugh.
Hanna put her hands on her hips, "And what exactly is so funny?"
"You are. You're more insane than I am, and it's not even YOUR wedding. I can't wait to see how neurotic you get when THAT day comes."
"Well I'll have more than 2 ½ to plan it! Tell him no."
"No."
"No, don't tell me no, tell him no!"
Minerva smiled, this was a side of Hanna Hooch that many people never saw. To most people, she was calm, collected, and strict, just like a true Beater should be, however, when provoked, she could be a nutcase! "Hanna.." Minerva started say very slowly, like she was talking to a child. "I love Albus, and if he wants to get married in 2 ½, I will. With or without you there." She said the last part warningly.
Hanna stared at her friend, who was now sorting through her closet to find the dress that she already had. "FINE! But I hope you realize that I don't have a bridesmaids dress, and if I look horrible, it'll be ALL YOUR FAULT!"
"I'll keep that in mind while I'm on my honeymoon." Minerva said pulling her dress out of the closet. "Do you want to help me with my hair and makeup, or are you going to spend the next 2 hours running around looking for a dress for you to wear?"
"Fine, let's get started, we don't have much time!"
~~~~~~
"I thought you wanted Nicolas to be your best man?" Armando asked, a little confused.
"I did, but he won't be able to get here in.." Albus looked at his pocket watch, "2 hours."
"Two hours?"
"Yes, that's when Justice Marshall agreed to marry us." Albus said calmly and waited for the reaction he knew was coming.
"TWO HOURS? You can't be serious Albus?" He looked at Albus' face and realized he wasn't joking. "You do realize that no one will be able to make the wedding then, HER OWN FATHER won't be able to walk her down the aisle?"
"Yes, Armando, I do realize that, however, Minerva agreed to marry me in three hours, and that was an hour ago. I'm sure our family and friends will understand. So, will you be my best man?"
"I don't think I have any other choice, do I?"
Albus smirked, "That's the spirit! I'm going to get changed, meet me at the entrance in an hour, that's when Marshall will arrive."
Armando chuckled slightly, "I hope you don't expect to leave on your honeymoon soon. You BOTH will just have to wait until break, because I won't be able to find replacements for both of you."
Albus smiled, "Understood, but remember, tomorrow's Saturday, we'll have the whole weekend as man and wife before we have to be back here."
~~~~
"Ok, I'm here." A man said walking into the hallway, and then looking around, "Is anyone else here?" He asked, slightly confused as to why no one was there to greet him.
"Ah, yes, Justice Marshall, Armando Dippit." The headmaster said walking out of the great hall and shaking the man's hand.
"Please, call me Frances. So, where's the lucky man?"
"Having second thought?" Armando suggested, "Actually I have no idea, he told me to meet him here.." He looked at his pocket watch, "five minutes ago here, so that we could greet you."
Frances laughed, "Well it is a little short notice, isn't it? Are you going to be one of the witnesses?"
"Yes, I'll be acting as the best man."
"And I'll be acting as the other witness and Maid of Honor!"
The two men looked up to see Hanna Hooch in a periwinkle colored dress, walking down the stairs towards them.
"So I see the judge and witnesses are here, so where are the two love birds?" She asked.
"Haven't the foggiest." Armando said, "Weren't you with Minerva?"
"She kicked me out. Wait, if you're here..ok, you go find Albus and I'll find Minerva, and hurry!"
"What, why?" Armando asked, confused.
"Because if they're wandering around alone, he might see her in her wedding dress!"
"Don't worry, he won't." Came Minerva's voice out of no where.
"AH! Minerva? Where are you?" Hanna asked, looking around for the woman to match the voice.
"I'm under an invisibility cloak, so he won't be able to see me. Hanna, come with me into the side room of the Great Hall, and then you'll be able to let me know when Albus arrives, alright?"
"Ok, are you two going into the Great Hall now?" Hanna asked the two men, who both nodded in agreement.
"I guess so, now we'll just have to wait for the groom."
~~~~~
"It's been 20 minutes." Frances said to Armando as they sat at the teachers table.
"I'm.*gasp*..here.*gasp*.." Albus gasped, running into the Hall, and then almost collapsing when he reached the two men.
"Good Lord, Albus, what the hell's wrong?" Frances asked.
"Ran.into.Pomfrey.couldn't...get.away.." He said, still gasping for air, but starting to return to his normal breathing.
"Oh, yes, I don't think anyone told her about the wedding, and she did tell you to go strait to bed after leaving the infirmary." Armando said, trying not to laugh at the image.
"All right!" Albus said, standing up strait and looking towards Frances, "Let's get this started, where's my bride?"
"Coming!" Hanna yelled from the side door, "But isn't there supposed to be music before she comes out?"
"Oh, right." Armando said and conjured up a few string instruments. "What does she want to play?"
"Pachelbel's Canon in D Major." Minerva yelled from inside.
At once the instruments stared to play the tune and Hanna stepped out first slowly. She still had on the same dress, but was now carrying a small bouquet of flowers that matched. After a few steps Minerva walked out and Albus took a deep breath when he saw her.
Her dress was simple (the link to see it is at the beginning) but looked beautiful on her nonetheless.
She smiled as she saw him, in a dark crimson dress robe which looked wonderful on him.
She kept on repeating this in her head, the realization that they were just minutes away from being declared Man and Wife was just settling in.
Similar thought were going through Albus' mind, but before he even noticed, she was standing next to him, the ceremony had already started, and she was now saying her vows and placing a simple gold band on his finger.
"You may now kiss the bride."
Albus didn't have to be told twice.
"Alright, alright, you love each other, we know, now will you two come up for air?" Hanna asked after a few minutes.
Albus and Minerva looked up with smiles on their faces, while Hanna was grinning, Frances was shaking his head and smirking, and Armando had tears in his eyes.
"That was beautiful." He sniffed.
"And I believe that that's our cue to leave, we'll be back Monday morning at the latest Armando." Albus said.
"And where, pray tell, are we going to?" Minerva asked as he led here out of the hall.
"Now that would spoil the surprise." He said grinning. "Get a few things together, and meet me back here in 15 minutes, and then we'll leave."
"We're not married 5 minutes and already you want to get away from me!" Minerva said jokingly.
"Never." He said kissing her, "Now, go, and hurry back here."
~~~~~
Sunday Night.
"Do we have to go back?" Minerva asked as she watched her husband pack their things. "We don't actually have to be back until tomorrow morning you know."
"I know, but we should make an appearance, besides, we have to explain why there'll now be 2 Professor Dumbledore's." He said smiling with his back turned towards her, which meant that he didn't see her worried expression right away.
"Umm, Albus?"
"Yes?" He asked turning back towards her, and then frowned when he saw her face, "What? What's wrong?"
"There won't be 2 Professor Dumbledore's." She said quietly and avoiding his eyes.
"I..I don't understand."
Minerva sighed, "I love you, Albus, and I do want to be known as Mrs. Albus Dumbledore, however..when dealing with my teaching, I think it would be easier if the students continued to address me as Professor McGonagall."
"Oh." Albus said sitting down, "Well, I guess it would be easier. Of course, then they might not realize we're married."
"And.."
"And?"
"And I'd like to keep my own bedroom. Not because I don't want to be with you." She added quickly, "But because it'll be less confusing, as well as allowing us to have extra space. You know that one of the living quarters is barely enough for one teacher, let alone two."
Albus stayed quiet. They had never actually discussed what would happen after they were married. He naturally assumed that she would move into his living quarters, as well as adopt his last name for both personal and business use.
"I suppose you're right." He said quietly.
"Albus." Minerva said going over to him and sitting on his lap, "I love you, but when dealing with the school and its business, I want to be known for being me, not just being married to you. Or did you just think that once we were married I'd quit my job and become a barefoot and pregnant housewife?"
"What? No! I would never..." He quickly started to contradict her last statement when he saw her smirking and realized that she was joking. He laughed, "Alright, yes, I understand. Well then, maybe we could stay one more night." He said grinning.
End of Part 10
So? What did you think? I know, kinda fluffy, and possibly sickeningly sweet, but hey! It's there wedding! LOL
Ok, I want you're opinion on the future of AD/MM. Should they have children or not? And how many do you think they should have if they DO have children. KEEP IN MIND, that just because they may have children, it doesn't mean that they're all safe and will live a long and happy life. I don't exactly know what will happen to them, my muse isn't telling ;D
