Chapter Seventeen
"Until death will part us"
Harry helped her to exit from the station, then they Apparated to the "Fortress of the Shadows"; he lifted her, and brought her in their room...then he owled Madame Pomfrey to come there...
Next morning, the Hogwarts healer arrived, and she examined Hermione; then, she stood up, and looked to Harry, beaming..."She is pregnant" she said, and Harry's face suddenly was all filled by a huge grin...he went to Hermione, still in bed, and he took her hand...she smiled to him, and whispered to him: "I said you we could have make it up..."; he nodded, then he hugged her...
Suddenly, a loud "pop" was heard in the room, and Dobby appeared, with Winky...
"Hello, Harry Potter, sir...Dumbledore has sent we us...he said we can be more useful for you, now that you have freed the Ringwraith...if you want us to serve you, obviously..."
"Dobby...you and Winky can remain...but you are not here to serve us...you are here to help us...it is different..." Harry said, then he called the other House Elves, to give them the chance to meet the new arrived...
Next morning, Harry and Hermione started to write the invites for their marriage, which they have planned to be for the first of August...this activity filled their morning, and in the afternoon they took a walk in their new possession...they discovered a quiet small pine wood behind the castle, and they rested there a little, enjoying the soft breeze blowing through the trees...
The guests received a white letter, with the invitation and some of them also with the request of being the groomsmen and the bridesmaids:
"Harry James Potter
and
Hermione Eleanor Granger
Request your presence to their wedding
The ceremony will take place on Saturday 1st August
At the "Fortress of the Shadows", Godric's Hollow, at 4 p.m." The requested groomsmen and bridesmaids received, together to this, a letter with written:
"We ask you to be one of the groomsmen/ bridesmaids; the planned couples are:
Best Man/ Maid of Honour: Draco Malfoy / Ginny Weasley First Couple: Neville Longbottom / Luna Lovegood Second Couple: Ernie Macmillan / Parvati Patil Third Couple: Dean Thomas / Padma Patil Fourth Couple: Oliver Wood / Angelina Johnson
Please reply as soon as you can"
In the meanwhile, Dumbledore was unconsciously preparing a surprise for both of them...McGonagall decided to retire, that year and he was thinking to the right people to take her place and the DADA Professor job...he was examining many curriculum, but nobody seemed very adapt for the jobs...
The marriage was planned to be in the chapel of the "Fortress of the Shadows", and the reception in the Great Hall of it...so, Harry and Hermione were thinking about how they should prepare the castle for the occasion, when the replies of the groomsmen and bridesmaids arrived; all of them were enthusiastic to join the marriage...
One week before the wedding, the staff was reunited in the castle to prepare themselves and it for the ceremony; first thing, they went to choose the robes for the ceremony, and Harry was breath taken seeing Hermione with her bride dress; then, for some days, they trained the groomsmen and the bridesmaids for what they had to do...then, the last two days, they prepared the chapel and the castle, filling it with flowers, especially white and pink roses...
Finally, the day arrived; the morning was filled doing photographs, so it passed quickly, and finally Harry entered the chapel, waiting for his bride to be...slowly, the guests had arrived, so he saw Professors McGonagall, Flitwick, Sprout and even Trewlaney, then he saw Hagrid, with tears on his eyes...after some excruciating minutes, the bridesmaids started to enter, pairing themselves with their own groomsman...and then...she entered the chapel, in her stunning beauty...she walked down the aisle, a white roses bouquet in her hand...she was accompanied by Albus Dumbledore...
The priest started the ceremony, saying: "We are here to celebrate the joining of Harry James Potter and Hermione Elizabeth Granger in marriage" then he asked:
"Who gives this woman in marriage?" since her parents were died, Dumbledore replied:
"I do"
Then, the ceremony went on, until they had to say their vows; Hermione started:
"From the moment I saw you, I knew you were one special person, but not for what you were famous for; for what you were really...and then, after every adventure we shared together, my feeling of this grew up even more...I really don't know if I could have found another like you, in my life...every time we were together, I felt myself melting on every your look...and the way you always cared for me, in every situation...putting your same life in danger to save me...I love you with all my heart, Harry!"
Then, he said his own vow:
"You have always been the rock on which I could count in the hardest moments of my life; you were always near me, supporting me, even when every other people avoided me...you were the one capable to read my feelings as an opened book...I knew you were always thinking for my good, even when we fought on something...and almost always you were right...from the moment I met you, you started to be my conscience, telling me what was right to do and what not...and I always cared for you, putting my same life in danger for you, because I could have lost my life, but I couldn't have lost you...I love you more than my same life, Mione!"
Then the priest said: "Harry James Potter, do you take Hermione Elizabeth Granger, to be your wedded wife, to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, and keep her, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, so long as you both shall live?" "Yes, I do" he replied, looking at her Hermione Elizabeth Granger, do you take Harry James Potter, to be your wedded husband to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honour and keep him for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to him, so long as you both shall live?" "Yes, I do" she answered, then the priest said: "Have we the rings?" Draco went to him, giving the rings, and the priest passed them to Harry and Hermione; then he said: "These rings are a symbol of your love and promise to each other. Hermione, please take Harry's ring and place it on his finger" Hermione took the ring, and she placed it on Harry's finger, shaking a little Then it was Harry's turn; he placed the ring on Hermione's finger; the priest went on, saying: "For as much as Harry and Hermione have consented together in matrimony, and have witnessed the same before this company and have pledged their love and loyalty to each other, and have declared the same by the joining and the giving of rings, I, therefore, pronounce that they are husband and wife. Harry Potter, you may kiss your wife." Harry kissed her without doubts, deeply, then they walked hand in hand out of the chapel. At the reception, after having eaten some of the more complex and expensive dishes in the world, the guests enjoyed the dances; Harry and Hermione had to open them, dancing in the middle of the room, then the others joined them...then, when all the guests went away, they went to share their first night as a married couple... Some days later, they received a letter from Hogwarts...Dumbledore was asking them to become the Transfiguration teacher, to Hermione, and to Harry he asked to take the DADA position... Both of them accepted without doubts, so the last week of August they were again at Hogwarts to start the staff meetings, preparing the new school year...they shared a room in the staff wing, and here, one night, some months later, Hermione felt very sick...her belly was aching terribly, so Harry took her to the Hospital Wing...he passed the night out of the door, waiting for news...then, on the morning, Madame Pomfrey went to call him; he entered, and saw Hermione, smiling to him, with their child in her arms...she was a very beautiful girl, with her mother's brown hairs, and her father's emerald green eyes...
Harry took her in his arms, and then he couldn't help to comment, teasingly: "I only hope she won't become as bossy as her mother..." "Or lazy as her father..." Hermione replied, while Harry was seating on her bed, just before kissing her passionately...
