Disclaimer- nope, sadly I am poor and deprived and this would most definitely not be the case if I had created Harry Potter.
Chapter 3
The wedding
Both families worried that the inevitable wedding would harm their children's reputations. And so, in order to avoid this they kept it a secret.
Now I know what you must be thinking, how on earth could they do that? Well the answer is- with great difficulty. The ceremony itself was a small affair with only Ginny's family, Harry, Hermione, Blaise Zabini and Draco's parents in attendance. There were no bridesmaids, no flowers, except for the simple bouquet that Ginny carried. It was a very unsentimental ceremony performed by Professor Dumbledore himself (who they had informed only out of necessity. Both families were slightly unnerved by the joyous twinkle in his eye that he had sustained throughout this whole ordeal. That twinkle normally meant that he knew something that everyone else was as of yet unaware of. And in these circumstances…well that was worrying.) They performed both the official and pagan part of the ceremony.
Ginny, despite everything, had insisted on having a white wedding and indeed she made a beautiful bride. A fact that did not escape her groom, though he kept up his impersonal façade throughout the whole ceremony.
The only chink in his armour was at the very end when Professor Dumbledore, with that irritating twinkle now even more pronounced, announced
"Now, you may kiss the bride."
This was only the third time since that fateful meeting three weeks ago that Ginny had actually seen Draco and because of this they hadn't yet had an opportunity to get to know each other and certainly hadn't kissed. And now they were being requested to do so for the first time in front of their family and friends and a twinkling headmaster. She still kind of hated him and now she was officially his wife….and still expected to kiss him.
Draco was paler than usual, obviously having just come to realise the seriousness of the situation himself. He looked at his wife….oh my god he had a wife!…with an unintentionally pleading expression.
Taking pity on him, the guests and herself, Ginny braces herself, took a deep breath and leant forward to place a chaste kiss upon his lips.
The guests politely cheered sounding forced and unenthusiastic, quite like how the bride and groom themselves felt actually. There was to be no honeymoon as school started again in a week and neither particularly felt the need to spend any 'alone' time with the other.
And that, in it's simplest form was the end of the wedding of Draco and Ginevra Malfoy. Mr & Mrs Malfoy.
