A/N: I didn't continue with the book of Diamanta but that will come up in the next few chapters. The honeymoon chapters. I mean what do you expect them to do? Wait, don't answer that. Rhetorical question. So Hermione will be reading the book.

Chapter 5: The Wedding and Reception

Hermione sighed. She was getting married today, to a man that she had loathed for six years! She stared at her reflection in the vanity mirror. The dress contoured to her body. It hung precariously on her shoulder with sleeves made of lace. The skirt of the dress was made of silk with lace at the bottom. The bodice was covered with lace and showed a bit of cleavage. She wore a pearl necklace and earrings. On her head, sat a pearl tiara that she had borrowed from Narcissa. Her hair had been pulled into a mound of curls and her veil placed right before them. Her eyes had been accented withcreme eye shadow. Her red lips had been filled in with a lip pencil with made them look even fuller. A small amount of blush had been applied and now she looked like a happy, beautiful bride. Now she understood how Harry felt.

If she didn't marry Draco, she didn't know what would happen. There was a small knock at the door then Narcissa slipped in. She was wearing a lavender dress and her hair had been done up. She looked beautiful also. Hermione thought that she could probably pass as her older sister.

"Hermione, the wedding is going to start soon. But, the Dark Lord would like to meet you first," she said. Hermione was shocked. But then she nodded and Narcissa went to the door. A second later, a pale man swept in. He was wearing black robes and his face resembled that of... Hermione gasped. He looked like Tom Riddle! He was handsome. He had black hair that fell elegantly across his face. His eyes were blue, like pools of blue. He smiled.

"You are such a brave girl," he said, grabbing her chin. His touch was warm though she had thought that it would have been cold. She always thought that he had no heart. But couldn't he have a heart? He was married and loved Victoria, Lillia's mother, so he had a heart, didn't he? She suddenly heard a shriek then a sob.

"Th-Thank you uh, what should I call you?" Hermione asked him.

"Tom would be fine," he replied, smiling again.

"Thank you Tom," Hermione said.

"I will see you both after the wedding. Hermione, Narcissa," he said, bowing. Hermione smiled as he walked out. She heard talking then the door opened again and Lillia came in with a woman, who Hermione assumed to be her mother.

"Lillia, what are you doing here?" Hermione asked, confused.

"Oh, my father let me come. I would like you to meet my mother, Victoria Riddle," Lillia replied. The woman smiled. She was wearing a burgundy dress with white robes. She had blonde hair and friendly brown eyes.

"It is pleasing to meet you, Hermione," Victoria said.

"Oh, it is nice to meet you too, Mrs. Riddle," Hermione said.

"What did Harry say?" Hermione asked Lillia.

"Well, truth be told. When my father granted me allowance to come, it was night. Dumbledore said that he would tell them," Lillia said. Hermione nodded. Narcissa glanced at the grandfather clock in the room.

"Hermione, my dear, the wedding is about to start. We must go," Narcissa said. Hermione nodded and they all left. Not soon after, Hermione heard the music start. She went outside and saw Lucius. They linked arms and waited. Suddenly the wedding march began to play. The doors were thrown open and Hermione began her way down the aisle towards Draco. Finally, they reached Draco and Lucius lifted her veil and kissed her cheek then he put it down again and sat down. The minister began about love and the joining of the union was important. Hermione tuned him out. Finally, he said,

"Draco, do you take Hermione Granger to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, as both as you both shall live, till death do you part?"

"I do," Draco replied. Then the minister asked the same of Hermione.

"I do," she replied.

"I now pronounce them Mr. And Mrs. Draco Malfoy. You may now kiss the bride," the minister said. It went dead silent. Draco pulled Hermione to him then kissed her with a lot of passion. Hermione responded and wrapped her arms around Draco's neck, pulling him closer. Finally, Hermione broke the kiss and they proceeded to the Malfoy ballroom. (A/N: the wedding took place at Malfoy Manor at their indoor chapel) Draco led Hermione onto the dance floor for the first dance.

Voldermort stood there watching them dance. They actually looked like they were in love. "Well, if they are, then that's really good for me," he thought. He smiled. Then he saw his wife and daughter. He was surprised at how grown up Lillia was. She was so beautiful. She definitely got her brown hair from her grandmother. He remembered when he had found out that she was at Hogwarts and not Lofinof School of Magic. He couldn't attack Hogwarts because that old fool was there. And Lillia was Dumbledore's great-granddaughter and if we were to attack, she could make it invincible," he thought.

Voldermort smiled as the dance ended. He made his way over to the happy couple and asked if he could dance with Hermione. Draco nodded and Voldermort led her onto the dance floor. They began to dance but then there was banging on the ballroom doors. Voldermort stepped away from Hermione and ran over to Victoria, he gathered her into his arms then apparated. The doors burst open as Draco grabbed Hermione and began to dance. Cornelius Fudge and people from the order, including Harry and Ron came into the room. Hermione and Draco stopped dancing and turned to them.

"Where is Lillia? I know her father took her!" Harry yelled.

"I'm right here," Lillia said. Harry smiled then ran at her. She sidestepped him.

"I may be your girlfriend and I may not support my father and I may hate him but he granted me permission to come to the wedding and he wouldn't take me!" Lillia said calmly but everyone in the room knew that she was angry.

"I-" Harry began but was cut off by Lillia. "And why did you come bursting in here! You ruined Hermione's wedding! You've become paranoid, Harry," Lillia said.

"I have not. But why would you need permission to come to the wedding?" Harry asked. Hermione closed her eyes. Harry had caught them in a trap.

"Because, he was planning on coming to the wedding and I wanted to make sure he didn't try to take me back to his headquarters or whatever. But he never came," Lillia said, saving everyone. Hermione breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, ok," Harry replied.

"I would be very happy if you left, Potter. I was trying to dance with my new wife," Draco said, stressing wife. Harry glared at Draco then turned to the group.

"I guess we had better leave," he said.

"Yes, we're terribly sorry that we interrupted your wedding," Cornelius Fudge said. Narcissa stood up.

"It is quite alright minister," she said. The group left and the reception resumed. Finally after another hour, Hermione began to grow tired. She sat down at the table she shared with Narcissa and grabbed a glass of water.

"Are you tired, my dear?" Narcissa asked.

"Oh, yes, a bit," Hermione replied.

"Ok," Narcissa replied and stood up. Draco came hurrying over to Hermione at that moment. He sat down beside her and took her hand in his. Narcissa cleared her throat and waited for everyone to turn their attention to her.

"Well, it is now time for us to wish the happy couple off on their honeymoon!" Narcissa said.

"They will be going for two weeks to Nice, France!" she said. There were several gasps and oohs from the women. Draco stood up and squeezed Hermione's hand. She took this as he queue to stand up also. Draco led her through the ballroom then down several halls. Everyone was following also. Soon they came to the front doors. Draco opened the door for Hermione, which she went out and he followed. In the driveway, stood a carriage. They walked to it and got in. Everyone soon came out of the house. Narcissa ran up to the carriage and gave them their luggage then she kissed Hermione on the cheek.

"Have fun!" she yelled as the carriage began to rise. Everyone else just waved. Hermione became very drowsy and fell asleep on Draco's lap. He played with her hair as he watched her sleep. All too soon they were at the villa. Draco woke up Hermione then stepped out of the carriage and offered his hand. Hermione took it but then he grinned and swept her into his arms. She shrieked as he began to walk towards the villa. He opened the door and was greeted by their house elves that worked there.

"Good evening, Master Draco and Mistress Hermione," they said.

"Hello, Killy, Dia, Mia, Nia, Ria, and Jilly," Draco replied.

"But where are Billy, Del, Mel, Zel, and Vel?" Draco asked.

"Oh, they is attending to the rooms," Mia replied. Draco nodded.

"Well, I'll see you all in the morning," Draco said as he mounted the stairs. He opened the second door on the left and laid Hermione on the bed. She had a few minutes to take in her surroundings. She was on a king size bed with a black comforter. The room was decorated completely... but she never finished her thought as Draco pulled her close and kissed her passionately. She laid back on the bed and smiled.

He growled then pulled off his jacket and shirt. He had a very toned body. She pulled the clip that held up her mound of curls out. They came tumbling down to frame her face. (She had taken her veil and tiara off earlier, just forgot to mention it.) Draco smiled then pulled her close and kissed her again as he undid the buttons of her dress. He finally got the last one undone and began to pull it off. Hermione put her hand on his arm then climbed off the bed and slipped out of it. As she laid the dress on the couch, he checked her out. She sure had a body under those robes. She had fairly large breasts and he could make out the curve of her hips. He got off the bed and pulled her to him. He began to kiss her neck as he pulled her to the bed. He unclasped her bra as she undid his belt. He kissed her again then pulled off his pants. They took off the rest of their clothes and made mad, passionate love. Afterwards, Hermione lay in Draco's arms as she drifted off to sleep. This would defiantly be a night to remember...
