Chapter eleven: Smiling brides
Indeed I had pinned my Prefect's badge to my gown. Parvati look so wonderful in her red gown. She just wanted to show off her Gryffindor colours to her fiancé's family. She was proud to be a Gryffindor, and ashamed to have a Slytherin as a husband. Her Death Eater in-laws were ashamed too. A Gryffindor… of all the people their son could have chose he had to chose to impregnate a Gryffindor!
"Do you Parvati Patricia Patil take Vincent Jacob Crabbe to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Dumbledore asked her.
"I'd rather not, but I have no choice! So yes, I do!" Parvati answered. I shook my head.
"Do you Vincent Jacob Crabbe take Parvati Patricia Patil to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do! Can we eat now?" Crabbe said. Blaise shook his head now. All Crabbe could think about was eating and shagging his wife! I didn't envy Parvati.
"You may kiss the bride!" Dumbledore said. Parvati looked shocked. She had forgotten this part. She lent him her cheek!
Professor Remus John Lupin and Professor Sybill Patricia Trelawney were next. Parvati was thrilled to hear that she had the same middle name as Professor Trelawney.
"It's fate!" she muttered. "Maybe that's why she says I have the gift!"
On they went. Daphne Hyancinth Greengrass and Zacharias Emmanuel Smith were up next.
"Hyacinth?" Blaise mouthed. "What is it with all the flowery names?"
I lifted my shoulders I didn't know.
Then came Poppy Michaela Pomfrey and Professor Severus Alfonso Snape. The whole room burst out in laughter as Dumbledore said Snape's middle name. It didn't suit him at all.
"I can't help it!" he sneered. "My mother wanted to name me after my father!"
Last Blaise and I were up.
"Do you Padma Penelope Patil take Blaise Adam Zabini to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
I looked Blaise straight in the eye, before I spoke with a clear voice: "I do!"
"Do you Blaise Adam Zabini take Padma Penelope Patil to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do!" Blaise said without much ado. He had a family again.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!" Dumbledore said.
Blaise looked into my eyes. Then he bowed his head and kissed me. And I kissed him back. It wasn't a little kiss either. It was a very passionate kiss. The whole of Hogsmeade applauded.
"You aren't giving our child names that all start with the letter P, are you?" Blaise whispered in my ear when he broke the the kiss.
"Off course not. I was thinking of the letter Z… Just kidding!" I said.
"A girls name with a Z…"
"Zoë?"
"I like that name!" Blaise said.
"Okay, if it's a girl we name her Zoë Regina Danielle!" I said. "Now we still need a name for a boy. What about Adam Blaise?"
"Hmmm… That doesn't sound right… but lets stick with that for the moment!" Blaise said and kissed me again.
