Important: I had to do the end again because I realised I never did a very imporant sentence, just read the last thing like from where hermione thinks of her dad (i never did the meeting with dumbledore specificaly you'll see why next update.) A reviewer bought it to my attention.
A/N: Dude! Well I have had this chapter ready for ages, I typed it up a week ago but I never uploaded it because we had this whole problem with the computer where it rejected the modem and we had to do a reboot and we had to get Microsoft office all over again. Well as you all should know by now I love my reviewers and because they take the time to review I take the time to acknowledge it and thank them. So thank you to those that were loyal and stuck by me in my weaker chapters and here is the long awaited wedding!

Recap (longer than usual because of the two weeks of no updates)
"30 points from Slytherin Mr Malfoy." Smirked Snape.
"That's absurd." Stammered Draco.
"I have a point to prove." Said Snape with a false defensive tone.
"30 points to Slytherin." Muttered Draco when he thought Snape wasn't listening.
"I heard that Draco and to show you that I can I think I'll make it 50 points from Slytherin don't make me dock any more points off my own house." Warned Snape.
"Ah Remus, so glad you could join us I think getting your dress robes is next on our agenda or I think Hermione would hex me."
Draco was surprised when he saw Remus; he thought he would still be as shabby as ever but than again he remembered that Sirius or "uncle" Sirius had left half his fortune to Remus and the other half to Harry.
"Thank you but I have already purchased some." Said Remus kindly.
"Draco how good to see you, Dumbledore has told us of course where your true loyalty lies and I couldn't say that I am more happier I think Sirius would have been happy to know someone with the black blood ended up decent after all.
" Snape's face darkened at the mention of Sirius but Draco seemed pleased he was always fascinated by Sirius Black, he had known of his innocence for ages because his father had told him and his mother had told him the story of when he ran away though she was reluctant to speak about it at first.
"Remus!" Shouted Harry and Ron happily.
Chapter 14.
"Voting day!" Squealed Ginny.
"I know, and think your dad could be Minister for magic tomorrow and I'll be a married woman!" Said Hermione dreamily.
"One more day of freedom Mione" Laughed Ginny.
"That's right Aunty Hermione." Teased Draco. "Are you going to spoil me rotten Aunty?"
"Why no darling Draco! I'm afraid you already are!" Replied Hermione innocently.
"To think tomorrow you will be rolling around with my grouchy git of an uncle." Laughed Draco. "The offer is still open just to let you know if you want something younger before your big day" Added Draco jokingly with a wink.
"You grouchy git of an uncle will rip your testicles off and put in in the trophy room in a glass case if you try anything with his fiancé again." Said Snape silkily entering the heads common room. Hermione could not help but laugh and was accompanied by an incontrollable Ginny.
"Touchy." Said Draco moodily.
"Hermione." Said Snape ignoring Draco. "I was wondering whether you would like to accompany me to my or shall I say our rooms so you can decide on a particular design scheme you want for it."
"Sorry Professor Snape but we have to get Hermione ready!" Piped up Ginny.
"You had better not be planning a... what is it called a hen night?" Said Snape seriously.
"Severus Snape! Do you not trust me?" Asked Hermione in mock outrage.
"I trust you Hermione but I have no reason to trust Miss Weasley!" Said Snape simply. Ginny pretended to be offended.
"Well Sir you'll just have to trust me because you have no other option." Said Ginny with a satisfactory smirk at the look of worry on his face.
"Fine! Draco come with me, you are to be separated from Hermione until we are married." Said Snape in a rather monotonous voice.
Loud music played in the background as Dumbledore danced with some stripper they had picked up somewhere as Snape replayed the conversation that had landed him here in the first place.
"No!" Said Snape with a note of finality in his voice.
"You have to have one they are the latest craze!" Said Dumbledore.
"I've just told Hermione I do not want her to have a hen night and now you inform that you think it's best if I have a stag night?" Said Snape utterly astonished at Dumbeldore's suggestion.
"Yes I do! I've arranged one for Miss Granger to be organised by Ginny Weasley and her other friends, and your shall be completely up to Remus.
"I said no and that's final." said Snape.
"Fine I'll just have to inform Miss Granger that you still used to sleep with your grey bunny teddy untill your first marriage!" Said Dumbledore.
"I hate you old man!" Sulked Snape.
"I'll take that as a yes then." Said Dumbledore with a wink.
Like the stripper wasn't bad enough! Did he have to insist Potter, Weasley and Malfoy came along?
"Remind me why Severus agreed for you to let us do this?" Said Hermione.
"Because Professor Dumbledore insisted he has a stag do." Shrugged Ginny.
"Right." Said Hermione still not completely satisfied. "Well thank god you didn't get a stripper!"
"Oh um well you see we kind of did!" Said Ginny.
"WHAT?" Screamed Hermione. "Don't you dare let him in! Send him away."
"Fine, do you have to be this boring." Sulked Ginny.
"So Hermione? Tomorrow you going to give up your V-Reg? Do you feel excited?" Asked Parvati.
"Girls I wont discuss that." Said Hermione with a blush.
"I remember my first time, it was Ron of course, he was brilliant." Said Padma dreamily. The conversation carried on until eleven p.m. when Hermione declared that it was time for bed as she didn't want to work down the isle with bags to which everyone agreed and got a sleeping bag each and crashed on the floor.
"Hermione! Will you let us do this without you criticising every minute? You'll look gorgeous when we've finished with you!" Asked Lavender exasperatedly.
"Fine!" said Hermione defeated.
"I suggest up! We can rely on the curliness of your hair to make it look real elegant when we pile it on top of your head." Said Parvati with her head tilted to the side trying to picture it.
"I'm sure Snape will love that! He wont be able to keep his hands off her during the ceremony not to mention the actual wedding night." Giggled Ginny.
"Ginerva Weasley!" Gasped Hermione clearly outraged at her friends active imagination.
"Only joking." Said Ginny amused. "Let me go get the Jewellery ready."
"Okay well now lets add some silver beads at the back." Said Parvati seeting to work once again. "There finished.
"Not quite!" Said Ginny. "Here's the Snape Jewels the professor gave me earlier and he said you must wear the tiara." Said Ginny. "He also mentioned a locket he gave you."
Hermione looked perfect the tiara was a single vine of delicate leaves and clear Austrian crystals. The bracelets of the house of Snape were of course white gold because it was similar to silver which represented the Slytherin colours. Emeralds were encrusted in them which wasn't a surprise.
"Hair's done, jewelleries on now it's the make up." Squealed Padma.
"Severus it will be fine!" Said Dumbledore reassuringly who was acting as the sermon, dressed in robes of scarlet red probably to annoy Snape for a joke.
"I know! It's just nerv..." However Snape was unable to finish because at that moment a nervous but excited Hermione was standing between the door frame with her bridesmaids waiting for her queue looking absolutely breath taking. No pureblood his family could have ever betrothed him to could have looked this stunning. In a few minutes he could finally call her his own.
"God Hermione looks hot." Said Ron to an agreeing Harry, Remus smiled at this and gazed fondly at Tonks, her hair was in curls and she was once again a brunette for the day and Remus loved brunettes!
"Hermione look at Snape." Whispered Tonks.
Hermione of course was looking and had noticed how he was wearing robes of dark green with his hair tied back held with a silver ribbon. His hair had caught the light and was shining magnificently. She had never seen Snape... no Severus look this good before and she definitely liked it.
"To your taste?" Asked Tonks mischievously.
"Of course he is and I suppose Remus is to yours?" Answered Hermione equally as mischievous. "Who's going to walk me down the isle with dad ..." Said Hermione unhappily angry that she could have forgotten, the meeting she had earlier that week had been painful, her father was murdered in her mother in hiding.
"That would be me Hermione!" Said a cheerful voice.
"Mr Weasley?" Said Hermione happily.
"Isn't that your queue?" Asked Mr Weasley taking her arm.
"I believe it is." Said Hermione walking with him down the aisle, stopping when she got to Severus and Dumbledore.
"Take care of her Severus!" Said Mr Weasley placing Hermione's small hand in Severus's large one.
"Now that everyone is here I am delighted to begin the ceremony of magical binding. Marriage is not to be take lightly and I can say with utmost certainty Severus Snape and Hermione granger's binding will be successful. They suit intellectually and physically." Said Dumbledore turning to Severus and Hermione.
Dumbledore took Severus's right hand and Hermione's left hand. "We gather here this day in a ritual of love. You Severus Snape and thee Hermione Granger stand here before your friends to join together as the beginning of a family. For before there can be three, there must be two." At this Dumbledore joined their hands, with them facing each other
"Severus, what do you have to offer this woman for her love?"
Severus got down on one knee. "I present to her my love and my pledge. May I never knowingly or willingly do such a thing to harm, nor grieve, her in any form or fashion. Accept this my dagger, as a token of my trust. Like its blade, may my love be as strong. Like its metal may our love be enduring. Accept it my love, for that which is mine is yours."
"My Love, I accept your pledge, and your love, as I accept thy blade. Know what is in my heart, as I know what is in thine. The magic of my will, of my love, shall ever be thine." Said Hermione in a strong voice.
"Hermione, and what do offer in return for the love of this man?"
"I present to him my love and this pledge. May I never knowingly or willingly do such a thing to harm, nor grieve, him in any form or fashion. Accept this, my jewel, my treasure, as a token of my trust. Just as its bright gleam, may our love glow. Like the stone that it is its essence, may our love be as enduring. Accept it my love, for that which is mine is yours."
"My Love, I accept your pledge and your love, as I accept thy jewel. Know what is in my heart, as I know what is in thine. The magic of my will, of my love, shall ever be thine." Said Snape in a equally strong voice.
At this Dumbledore made to bindtheirhands in the traditional manner.
"With this binding I tie you, heart to heart, together as one. With this knot you are joined in sacred union. May you be blessed you with health and prosperity!" Said Dumbledore. "May neither take advantage of the other. For remember what one may not provide, the other may!" Dumbledore placed the wedding rings on Severus and Hermione's fingers.
"Your Vows have now been heard by all. These rings, like your vows, are without beginning or end. Now placed, they represent a seal of your love and respect for each other." Dumbledore offered a chalice to the couple to drink form. "This is your first drink together as man and wife. May you never thirst." Dumbledore than gave them bread to eat from. "This is your first food together as man and wife. May you never hunger." Dumbledore positioned thebesom and sword to prepare them to jump. "This will be your first act of working together as Husband and Wife. May the sword cut all ties with the old and the besom sweep them away." Dumbledore led them both to the broom and sword so they could jump. Dumbledore removed the binding and held it overhead "I present to you Lord Severus Snape and his wife Lady Hermione Snape." Said Dumbledore. "Oh yes and as muggles do this so shall Severus and Hermione, Severus you may now kiss the bride." Said Dumbledore happily.
Severus moved forward and immediately engaged Hermione in their first kiss as husband and wife. People cam forward to congratulate the pair and in Fred and George's case threaten Severus who did not look amused.
"Hermione, my baby! I'm glad to see you." Hermione turned around recognising the voice, this would be uncomfortable but she wnated to see her!
A/N: Well let me knot what you think of the wedding and go to my profile page to get the link that will show you the dresses. The binding was from a website which actually gave the speech fom long time ago but i cut out the beggining because it was abit to old!
