Epilogue: Happily Ever After

Hermione paced around her bedroom anxiously, causing Ginny to frown frustratedly.

"Will you calm down 'Mione."

"What if he doesn't show?" she sat down on the bed heavily.

"Do you honestly think he'd ditch you at the altar?"

"No."

"Well there you go. Now lets go down and wait for Jaide to bring the car round."

"I guess that's better than pacing my room."

Hermione followed Ginny down the stairs and out into the front yard of the Granger's house and resumed her pacing. Eventually they heard the sound of a car pulling up the driveway and a few seconds later it rolled into view. Jaide stepped out of the back seat and ran over to the two girls.

"Oh my god 'Mione. You look so gorgeous!" she exclaimed.

Hermione, who was wearing a shimmering blue-white dress with a halter strap and a full skirt, twirled around and smiled.

"Do you think?"

"Definitely. Draco's one lucky guy."

"If we don't get going we'll be late." Ginny exclaimed, "Come on."

The three of them piled into the backseat of the car and it sped out of the drive and headed to the park where the wedding was being held. It was a beautiful garden by a sparkling blue lake and covered by lush, green grass. Hermione had spent a lot of time there as a young girl with her parents and once Draco had seen it they both agreed it was the perfect place to get married. Hermione paled as they pulled up and Ginny grasped her hand comfortingly.

"It'll be fine 'Mione. This is the happiest day of your life."

"Thanks Gin."

Jaide opened the door for Hermione and they walked up to the screen hid them from the guests.

"I'll go tell them you're ready 'Mione." Jaide told her, "Come out when you hear the music."

Hermione tried to speak but her throat was dry so she merely nodded as Jaide walked around the screen.

Jaide went around to the band and whispered, "She's ready." Before sitting down next to Severus.

A few seconds later the music started and Ginny walked slowly up the aisle, followed by a nervously happy Hermione. They walked up to the altar and Hermione stepped up next to Draco, giving him a small smile.

The ceremony was beautiful and quite a few people were dabbing at their eyes by the end. Draco and Hermione smiled broadly as the walked back down the aisle, gazing adoringly at each other. The guests followed them out into a different section of the park for the reception and soon everyone was relaxed and chatting happily.

"Where's little Draco Junior?" Jaide asked Draco as they stood by the lake.

"Oh, I think Harry's got him right now."

"How does it feel being married?" she grinned at him.

"It's the best feelingever. I must be the luckiest guy in the world. So have you and Professor Snape planned anything yet?"

"Nope. But…" she held out her hand to show him a gorgeous engagement ring.

"When did he ask you?"

"A week ago. I didn't tell anyone cause I was worried about stealing your thunder."

"Ah, you still should've told us."

Just then, Hermione walked up with Draco Junior in her arms.

"Hey Jaide. What are you guys talking about?"

"You have got to tell her Jaide." Draco urged.

Jaide sighed and showed Hermione the ring.

"Oh my god! When did this happen?" she squealed.

"Last week." Jaide looked around and saw Severus standing under a tree looking very irritated, "I'd better go and see Sev, he doesn't look very happy. Congratulations guys, I'll see you later."

"Bye Jaide." Hermione called before turning back to her husband, "So love, still think this was a good idea?"

"Are you kidding. I have a beautiful, intelligent, kind, loyal and spirited wife, a charming son and I'm finally free of my family."

"So, what happens next?"

"We live happily ever after." He grinned and walked arm in arm with her back towards the party.

AN: Sorry it's short but it is only an epilogue. If only Draco knew they wouldn't live happily ever after. Oh well.
