Chapter 9
The newlyweds walked into their own reception with just a vague awareness of what was going on around them. Everyone greeted them with smiles and shouts of congratulations. It was a happy scene that was enough to warm anyone's heart, but at this point Draco and Hermione just wanted to leave.
One of the first people to greet them was of course Mrs. Weasley. She just has a way of sneaking in when it's "her kids" involved. She was the first to give them a hug and shout best wishes. She was a little overexcited if you asked anybody else that saw her there.
Tom was also there. He had really taken a liking to the couple when they stayed at his inn. He offered a hand to Draco who politely took it and shook it firmly. "I just wanted to let you know that you are welcome to honeymoon at my inn if you would like, free of charge. I would be honored to have you there". Hermione smiled. She would love to stay there in that sweet little town.
"Oh, sir, that would be great. Thank you so much for the invitation. If you don't mind, we will pack up and head there tonight. I just can't wait to get started on my new life" she added with a smile. She looked over at Draco whose smile seemed glued to his face. They were glowing. It really was how she had dreamed. Her wedding day was the best day of her life.
The two danced the night away. Lost in each other's arms and in the music they could not have been happier. Soon Harry came up to steal a dance from the new bride. Draco reluctantly agreed. He didn't want to let her go, but he agreed and went to dance with Ginny instead.
Harry took Hermione up in his arms and began to lead her on the floor. He was a great dancer, but who knew where he learned that from. "Hermione, you look radiant, you must be happy" he said with a smile.
"Oh Harry, I just feel so awful" she told him sarcastically. "Of course I'm happy. This has been the best day of my life. Almost as good as your wedding, but better since I get to be the bride here" she said laughing.
"Yeah, you do get an awful lot of attention just for wearing that dress" he said with his handsome smile. "Funny, for a while I really thought it would be us to get married. Isn't it odd how things work out?" he said in passing.
"I know what you mean. I felt the same way. It's fate, you know. But I promise that we will always be best friends. Where are you going to work, by the way?"
"Hogwarts" he told her simply. "What else would I be but the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher? I wanted to be an auror, but Ginny thought it was too dangerous. Apparently she wants to keep me alive. I don't understand that one" he told her.
"Oh Harry Potter, I would say it is good to keep you safe. Who else would I have to be my best friend . . . other than Ron"? She always had to add Ron in there. She loved him just as much as Harry, but she was just closer to Harry. She prayed that it wasn't obvious to anyone, especially Ron. Soon the music ended and their dance was over. She gave him a hug and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you for the dance Mrs. Malfoy" he said to her. Soon he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Excuse me, that's my wife. I believe you already have your own" he said to Harry with a laugh. Harry smiled and congratulated Draco. He even gave him a hug. They seemed like brothers now. Harry was so close to Hermione that they seemed like brother and sister as well. Draco was certainly gaining one big family.
"Mya, are you ready to go?" he asked her. "I think we have been here long enough". They had cut the cake, threw the bouquet, and talked to everyone there a million times. It was time to get out of there.
They stood at the door with their bags in the car. Once more they hugged everyone goodbye. After Hermione gave Harry and Ron a hug and kiss on the cheek they were ready to go. They got in the car and drove away. No one knew where they were going except for one person. . .Tom. but he was too busy at the moment to say anything. He was dancing with Narcissa, and seemed to be enjoying himself too much to notice anything.
Draco opened the door for his bride and shut the door once she was in the car. He walked around and got in and started the engine. "Let's go Mya, I have been waiting for this all night" he said with a smile.
"Well, I have been looking forward to it, but I think you need to settle down" she said laughing at him. "Now, let's go!" She was so excited to go. This was it; she was starting her new life. A new life with Draco Malfoy. He would take care of her. He would love her. She would love him back. They would have kids. Her future life was flashing before her eyes. She could see that she was going to be the happiest woman on the face of the earth.
Soon they were at the inn. Draco sweetly opened the car door for his new wife as she stepped out of the car. He grabbed their bags from the trunk and they walked up to the door. They realized that the door was locked, and also that Tom was still at the party. They knew it would be no problem if they 'let themselves in'. Draco took his wand out and whispered "Alohamora" as the door swung open. He quickly put his wand away before any muggles saw it. They stepped inside, and left a note on the desk telling Tom that they had taken the room they had before. They walked up the stairs with their bags. It was such a homey place that it made Hermione aware of what it would be like when they finally got their place all decorated and it felt like a home.
Draco dropped the bags on the floor as the stepped inside. "So, how does it feel to be Mrs. Hermione Malfoy?" he asked her with a smile. "Because I like the sound of it" he assured her.
She smiled back at him and whispered "why don't you come over to the bed and I will show you how it makes me feel". She winked at him. He didn't need to be told twice. He raised her up and sat her on the bed before lightly kissing her neck. "Draco, hold on. I need to get out of this dress". She walked over to her bag and then into the bathroom. In the meantime Draco took it upon himself to remove his tux jacket and tie. He had to leave a little on for Hermione. He decided to also remove his shirt. He lay on the bed wearing only his trousers. His pale skin and washboard abs made him look more handsome than ever. He had been working out lately to take off some of the stress of the missing Hermione. It definitely showed.
Suddenly he heard the bathroom door click open. Hermione threw the wedding dress out the door. "Are you sure you want to see me?" she asked coyly. He couldn't wait anymore.
"Get out here Mya" he called to her. "I am sure I want to see you. But that's not all I want to do" he added. She stepped out of the door. She was wearing a white silk nightgown that went above her knee showing her smooth thighs. It has spaghetti straps to show her shoulders, and her hair fell down her back. She stood in the doorway as though teasing Draco. She was just out of his reach. 'She looks so damn sexy. And that's my wife' he thought to himself. "Fine, if you won't come over here then I will come get you" he said in an incredibly sexy tone.
He stood up from the bed and walked over to her. For a second they just stared into each other's eyes. Then he gently scooped her up into his arms and carried her over to the bed. He laid her down and began lightly kissing her neck and chest. He crawled up onto the bed himself and lay down beside her. "Hermione, I love you" he said as he looked into her eyes. "I want you to know how much I love you, but I just can't put it into words" he continued. "Tonight, I want to show you how much I love you. That's what tonight is for. I want you to show me your love too" he confided in her. He was just learning how to be this open and honest. It wasn't easy, but it was worth the effort.
"I love you more" she whispered in his ear. "I love you more than I could ever say, and I am so glad that you married me. I am so glad that you want me". She rolled over and began to kiss him. Her hands began to wander around his chest and through his hair. He kissed her back with more passion and desire that they had ever experienced together. He slyly brought his hand up to her shoulder and brushed the thin strap of her nightgown down her arm. He followed by doing the same on the other side. He slid the gown down her body and onto the floor.
Soon her hands were wandering down to his waistline where she unbuttoned his pants and quickly removed them. He laid there for a few minutes of more passionate kissing in his boxers until she pulled them off too. Nothing separated their bodies.
Draco rolled her over so he was looking over her. He took one nipple into his mouth and began to circle his tongue around it. She moaned with pleasure and writhed beneath his body. Droplets of sweat were forming on their bodies as he prepared to enter her. He positioned himself and put his whole length into her body. It was an immense feeling of relief as they had both been waiting for this for so long. He began to move back and forth inside her. His pace was slow and steady. This time it was about making it last. He wanted to take it slow this time.
Soon she was begging for him to speed up. Desire was building up until they both felt they could explode. Draco quickened his pace and she was soon calling his name. He found his release and soon after she found hers too. He slowed down his pace and removed himself from her body. They were slippery with sweat as he lay down beside her. They were both still breathing heavily when Draco had an idea. "Mya, I think we need a bath" he said slyly. "Wait here, I will be right back". He disappeared into the bathroom. Hermione sat on the bed and wrapped herself in a robe while she waited.
Soon Draco back out to get his wife. "Mya, follow me" he told her with a smirk.
"That's the smirk I have grown to love" she told him while she jumped off the bed to follow him. He led her into the bathroom where he had lit candles around a bathtub full of steamy water.
"I wanted to put rose petals, but I didn't have any" he told her. "I didn't feel like using magic tonight, we can make our own". With that he slid her robe off her body and it fell to the floor. He led her over to the edge of the tub and helped her step down into the water. Soon he joined her in the water and they sat in the warm bath just holding each other. That was all they wanted to do. They had shown their love in the bed and now it was time to relax. They had their whole lives to. . . well prove it again.
That night they sat in the bath until the water turned cold. Draco helped Hermione out of the water and dried her off. They lay in bed holding each other that night, just enjoying being in each other's arms.
"Draco?" she asked him.
"Yes Hermione?"
"This was the best night of my life. I just wanted to say thank you" she told him honestly.
"Don't thank me. We will have many more nights like this in our life" he replied. "Close your eyes and go to sleep honey."
The last thing she heard was Draco whispering "I love you more" into her ear, and they were both to sleep dreaming of each other on their wedding night.
