Angels and Dragons, Epilogue Part...What Number Am I On Again?

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters; just the story is mine. No suing!

Hello once again. Yes, I am back. I realize that you are not happy with how long this is taking for me to finish, and for that I apologize, but I can't type on my computer for very long without my hands hurting. I don't know why, but they just start to cramp up after awhile. I realize that you don't really want to know this, but I'm just making up a stupid excuse for myself. I do that sometimes. I have endured today, however, and typed a lot more than usual. I will attempt to type the rest of this story today, but if I have not finished, you will be notified at the end. Carry on!

Epilogue: The End?

"Augh! Where are those two? Do they want to be late to their own wedding?" exclaimed Mrs. Weasley, who was pulling her hair out trying to seat people.

"Now if we wanted to be late for our own wedding we wouldn't be standing right behind you," said Draco, causing Mrs. Weasley to jump.

"Goodness! Don't ever do that again, Draco. You gave me quite a fright," said Mrs. Weasley, holding her hand over her heart. Sirius and James floated past them and took their places in the front row.

"Okay, what do you want us to do? We don't have to walk out to any of that stupid wedding music, do we?" asked Draco, glaring.

"No, you don't. You just have to go stand in your spots. Oh, and try to walk a little slower than you normally would," added Mrs. Weasley in a harsh whisper. They both walked off, Draco shaking his head slowly.

"You would think we were on display instead of getting married. What's her problem?" asked Draco in a whisper.

"I don't know, but I think we'd better humor her," said Harry, giving Draco's hand a light squeeze.

"Just one thing though. Please don't make me sing!"

"Sorry, love, but you're gonna have to. I can't get you out of that."

"Damn!" Harry chuckled. By this time they'd reached their places. Standing next to Harry was Ron, Fred, and George. Standing next to Draco was Hermione, Ginny, and Tonks, with her hair now red with blonde streaks through it and very curly. Hermione had straightened her hair out, and Ginny had curled a few pieces that framed her face and had the rest pulled back in a ponytail. They were all three wearing baby blue satin dresses with matching shoes instead of robes because they had wanted to. They guys were all wearing black robes with their names stitched on the back, which changed colors every so often. (Hermione's doing, of course.) The guys had all cut their hair short and had spiked it so that they at least looked human instead of like Cousin It.

"Are we waiting for somebody?" asked Fred.

"I don't know," replied Harry in a whisper. Harry could hear very soft humming, so he looked to his right. Sure enough, Draco was humming a tune. Draco saw that Harry was looking at him, so he stopped.

"Sorry, just nervous over here."

"You gonna be able to hold out?" asked Hermione. Draco nodded his head and smiled.

"Who'd they get to do the ceremony?" asked George.

"No clue, but whoever it is, he's late," said Ron.

"I have an idea. Why don't we give these people some entertainment?" asked Fred.

"You got any of those here?" asked Harry. The girls, Draco, and Ron looked at him with confused looks.

"Oh, you bet! They're up in Gryffindor Tower," said George with a smile.

"Okay then." Harry, Fred, and George pulled out their wands and held them in the air.

"Accio Fireworks," they all whispered, so that nobody could hear them, not even Draco or Ron, who were standing right next to Harry and George. All of a sudden, a huge box came flying out of the castle. The box landed right in front of them, and they hurried to open it. Harry took out the largest firework in the box and held it out for approval. (A/N: He has his back to the guests. Carry on!)

"Oh, definitely! Let's light that one," said Fred excitedly.

"What the...?" said Ron, before stepping back. The others followed suit as Harry, Fred, and George pointed their wands at the fuse.

"Ignittio!" they exclaimed at once. The firework, which was in the shape of a dragon, shot up into the sky. It exploded, and when it did, the words 'Angel+ Dragon Forever' were written in the sky. (The wedding is at night, just so you know.)

"Good job, guys. How'd you manage that one?" asked harry.

"Don't know, but it is pretty cool," commented Fred.

"What are you doing?" hissed Mrs. Weasley, who'd suddenly appeared next to them.

"Having some fun. Why?" asked Harry.

"Yeah. We just wanted to liven up the celebration. Besides, it's a pretty cool way to start a ceremony, don't you think?" said George. Mrs. Weasley just shook her head and threw her arms up into the air in a 'why-me' movement.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you, angel?" whispered Draco.

"Not in the last few minutes, but I'll let you off the hook," said Harry in a teasing voice.

"Why don't the two of you sing to pass the time? I don't think that dude is coming any time soon," said Hermione.

"Shall we, Dragon?"

"If we must," said Draco dejectedly.

D:"From this moment, life has begun."

H: "From this moment, you are the one."

D: "Right beside you, is where I belong."

H:"Is where I belong."

D: "From this moment on."

H: "From this moment I have been blessed."

D: "I live only for your happiness."

H: "And for your love, I'd give my last breath."

D:"I'd give my last breath. From this moment on."

D: "I'd give my hand to you with all my heart."

H: "Can't wait to live my life with you. Can't wait to start."

D&H: "You and I will never be apart. My dreams came true because of you. From this moment as long as I live. I will love you, I promise you this. There is nothing I wouldn't give, from this moment on."

D: "You're the reason I believe in love."

H: "And you're the answer to my prayers from up above."

D&H: "All we need is just the two of us. My dreams came true because of you. From this moment as long as I live. I will love you, I promise you this. There is nothing I wouldn't give, from this moment..."

D: "I will love you."

H: "I will love you."

D: "As long as I live."

D&H: "From this moment on." Everybody, who'd gone silent as soon as they heard Draco and Harry start to sing, now burst into applause and gave them a standing ovation. Draco looked at his lover and smiled sheepishly.

"Good job, Dragon. You didn't forget any of the words, either. It wasn't as bad as you thought it was gonna be, now was it?"

"Nope, it wasn't. When I named you my angel, I didn't know that you sang like one," whispered Draco. Harry blushed at the comment.

"Good job, Draco! The two of you blend so nicely," said Hermione.

"What are we gonna do now? Stand up here and look like idiots?" asked George, fidgeting with his robes.

"Yeah, we're getting pretty restless up here, mate," added Ron.

"Not to worry. We can start the ceremony now. Places everybody," whispered Dumbledore. Fred and George moved back to their place next to Harry, and Hermione moved back to her place next to Draco.

"How is it gonna work?" whispered Draco.

"I'm not sure," whispered Harry.

"Now, since this is no ordinary marriage, that means that the ceremony isn't going to be normal. Now, I'd like you two to face each other and place your hands palms up," said Dumbledore. Draco and Harry raised their eyebrows, but did as they were told. Dumbledore pulled out the knife that he'd been carrying in his robes and held it out ti Harry, who looked at it with a look that clearly said, 'What the hell is that for?'. Harry took the knife and just stared at it.

"What am I supposed to do?" Harry whispered aside to Dumbledore.

"Slice both of your palms and then hand it to Draco. Draco, you'll do the same thing," said Dumbledore. Draco instantly paled, but said nothing. Harry sliced the knife across one palm, wincing, and then slid it across the other. He then handed the knife to Draco, who looked even paler than before. Draco sliced one palm and instantly started to sway. He held his ground, though, and sliced his other palm. He gingerly handed the knife to Dumbledore, who placed it on the table next to him.

"These two souls are to be joined in marriage and in blood. This is to show that nothing will ever keep them apart." Harry and Draco lifted their hands and placed them together, palm to palm, with their fingers interlaced. Instantly their magical signatures appeared above their hands, and then joined in a flash of light to create one symbol. They both stared at each other and smiled. They were finally married.

"Are you two just gonna stand there grinning like idiots or are you going to kiss?" asked Fred indignantly. They obliged and shared a very passion-filled kiss.

"Can we eat now?"

"Ronald Weasley! Where are your manners? I swear, have we taught you nothing?" said Hermione in a very exasperated voice.

"What? I can't help it if I'm hungry. Ow!" Fred had decided to hit him over the head.

"Don't be such an idiot," muttered George.

"Woohoo! It feels so good to be back," exclaimed Sirius. Harry and Draco turned to face him and fainted.

"Leave it to you, Sirius, to be the one to make a big scene about being alive again. Honestly, are you trying to give my son a heart attack?" asked Lily in an exasperated voice.

"Really, did you have to do that Sirius? My son has had enough trauma for one day without you adding to it, thank you very much," said Narcissa.

"Well, if I recall, you've been the cause of quite a bit of that trauma," said Sirius.

"Sirius, that's enough. Fred, George, wake these two up," said Remus.

"With pleasure," said the twins with identical evil grins. They reached into the fireworks box and pulled out some of their harmless, but none-the-less effective, fireworks. They poked them with their wands and placed them next to Harry and Draco. The fireworks went off with loud BANG!'s, which sent Harry and Draco five feet into the air because it was so loud.

"The two of you are horrible," muttered Draco.

"How are you two feeling?" asked Lily, who kept her distance so as not to frighten them again. Harry turned to face his mom and just stared at her. Draco shook his head in disbelief and stared with his mouth open.

"You know, if you leave your mouth hanging open like that Draco, you're gonna have bugs flying into your mouth," said Sirius with a smile. Draco closed his mouth.

"Can we eat now?"

"Ron, enough with the whining. Really, you're starting to sound like Draco did this morning," said Hermione.

"Thanks, Hermione. Really appreciate it," said Draco sarcastically.

"No problem, Draco," she replied with a smile.

"How'd you do that, anyway? I mean, one minute you're a ghosty thing, and the next you're as solid as I am. Really creepy, if you ask me," said Fred.

"Complicated process," said Sirius.

"You guys didn't, like, sell your souls to the devil, did you?" asked Ron.

"Ron, does everything have to be so, oh I don't know, creepy when you describe it?" asked Draco.

"No, just really dramatic," replied Ron.

"To answer your question, Ron, no we did not sell our souls to the devil. Like Sirius said, it's a complicated process," said Lily.

"They just got tired of you bugging Them, didn't They?" stated Harry with a grin. James laughed.

"I think our son's too smart for us anymore. What do you think, Lily?" asked James.

"I think you've got a point there. He is getting too smart for us. Maybe we should start studying again," said Lily thoughtfully.

"Well, Harry and Draco are two of the smartest in their group of friends, with the exception of..."

"Don't even say it, Remus. You know as well as I don that they're way more advanced than I am. I'm book-smart, whereas they're practical magic-smart," said Hermione.

"Plus, they're more evenly matched. You know, the whole we-used-to-be-enemies-but-now-we're-lovers thing," said George, earning him a smack on the head from both Harry and Draco.

"Well, George does have a point, even if he is a bit tactless," said Fred with a glare at his twin.

"Only as tactless as you," George pointed out with a grin. Fred shrugged.

"So you're back for good?" Harry eagerly asked the ex-ghosts. Lily, James, and Sirius nodded simultaneously. Harry tried his best to hug all three of them at once. Sirius got squished in the middle. Remus laughed at the look on Sirius' face.

"A Sirius sandwich!" A wave of childishness swept across Sirius and he stuck his tongue out at Remus. Remus gladly returned the gesture. Mrs. Weasley clenched her fists in an attempt to restrain herself from bashing the two juvenile-like adults' heads together. Too bad Narcissa got there first and shoved Remus (who still had his tongue hanging out of his out) into Sirius (who did too).

"Yuck!" exclaimed Remus (who had ended up licking Sirius's nose) as he got up off his dazed friend.

"Twinkle, twinkle widdle staw," Sirius sang. He poked Ron. "Wook at all the pwetty staws Hawwy." Draco and Harry were on the ground in fits of laughter.

Ron looked at Sirius like he was on crack, then said, "Harry's over there mate." Sirius's stars cleared and he looked up at Ron.

"Thanks, but I know where Harry is." Ron shrugged.

"You wouldn't have been able to tell Harry from a golf ball a second ago." Fred and George nodded in agreement.

"Where'd Reme go?" Sirius asked.

"Nowhere," Remus answered, walking up. He smelled curiously of toothpaste.

Harry, who had just regained his ability to stand, replied, "sure you were. And I was eating figs in Norway." Draco nodded.

"And I was freeing house elves in the kitchen. Ouch!" he screeched. " 'Mione! Quit hitting me!" Hermione hit him over the head with her purse one more time, then harumphed triumphantly. Harry took his whimpering 'wife' into his arms and held him close.

"Shh...S'ok...She didn't mean it...shh..." Harry looked at Hermione expectantly. Hermione caught her cue and picked up where Harry had left off.

"Right. I only half-meant it. Kidding! I'm just kidding! Geez!"

"Draco dear," Narcissa started gently, "You've been, well, moody lately, sweetie. Is something wrong? Are you...maybe...well...pregnant?" Draco looked at his mother like she had grown a second head.

"No," he replied flatly. Then he began to mentally doubt that fact. What if...?

"Men can't get pregnant," Ginny added helpfully.

"Sharp as a spoon, she is," Hermione muttered inaudibly. "Yes they can. But the last time it happened was, oh say...3,000 years ago."

"3,000 YEARS?"

"Oh, don't quote me on it. It could be a little more. I'm not quite sure."

"Me an' Reme tried for years but..." Sirius received a sharp thwack on the head courtesy of Remus.

"Too much information dear," Mrs. Weasley told him, patting him on the shoulder gently.

"Food? Now?" Ron whined. "I'm gonna pass out here." Harry rolled his eyes.

"Yes, Ron. You can eat now. Draco love, you can get a pregnancy test after we've stuffed our faces. Okay?" His other half agreed somewhat reluctantly. "Oh, and by the way, you weren't serious about what you just said about you and Remus, were you, Sirius?"

"Maybe I was and maybe I wasn't. That's all you need to know," said Sirius with a grin. Remus hit him over the head again.

"Men," muttered Hermione as she walked toward the reception area with her fiancé, who was looking a little worse for wear.

"Are you gonna be okay, Draco?" asked Harry as he caught his other half for about the fifth time.

"I'll be fine. I'm just a little dizzy is all. Maybe if I eat something, I'll feel better."

"I hope so, because if I have to keep you from falling over every five minutes, I'll make you sit out for the rest of the reception."

"Aw, but Harry, you're no fun," whined Draco.

"Keep going, and I will lock you in your room, whether you're dizzy or not," said Harry. Draco smiled, then stopped walking and leaned up against a wall.

"I'm not moving another inch then."

"Draco, don't be so childish! We have to be over there and you know it," said Harry indignantly.

"Says who? Harry, all of these people watching us is making me nervous. Please don't make me go over there!" pleaded Draco.

"Draco, what's wrong? Are you, by any chance, claustrophobic?" asked Harry with a smile. Draco glared at him.

"I am not claustrophobic, I just don't like cameras and news people," said Draco, glaring at the news crews that were setting up equipment all over the place.

"Why didn't you say something earlier, love? You know I'd do anything for you if it meant that you were happy. I love you, and I'd do whatever it takes to make sure that nobody upsets you," said Harry, bringing his hand up to gently stroke Draco's cheek. Draco closed his eyes and smiled at Harry's gentle, loving touch.

"I love you too, angel. You know that I do and that I always will, no matter what."

"Do you want me to get rid of the cameras, love? 'Cause I can if you want me to," added Harry. Draco thought about it for a minute, than a mischievous grin slowly appeared on his face.

"Can we just go MIA and forget the whole reception? 'Cause you know, that would be a lot more fun." Harry laughed.

"It would be more fun, but do you really want our family to come looking for us? You know they would," Harry added.

"I know, but I hate sitting around doing absolutely nothing. Plus, I don't feel so good," added Draco. As he said this, he swayed a little.

"Love, I hate to break it to you, but I do believe you're pregnant. I'm gonna put you to bed, and then I'm gonna come back and tell everybody so that they don't wonder where you are."

"No, Harry. I'm staying right beside you, and there's nothing you can do about it," said Draco with a determined look on his face.

"Fine love, have it your way. If you look like you're gonna pass out, though, I will remove you from the reception and take you to our hotel room. Is that clear?"

"Yes, sir!" shouted Draco, saluting Harry.

"You are hopeless, Mr. Black-Potter," muttered Harry.

"But that's why you love me so much," said Draco, grinning. Harry just shook his head and started walking toward the reception area. Draco followed behind. The reception was relatively uneventful, if you don't count Tonks falling into yet another box and Sirius' constant attempts to try and maul Remus (which, by the way, didn't work.). everybody left, and Harry and Draco Apparated themselves to their hotel room in New York.

Okay, so what did you all think? No, unfortunately, this is NOT the end of the story. I wish it were, but I just cannot type anymore. I promise, however, that the next one will be the end of "Angels and Dragons". As a side-note, Draco and Harry did not Apparate on Hogwarts grounds. I just wanted to make sure that there were no misunderstandings. Anyway, please R&R! Again, I would like to thank my part-time editor for her contribution to this part of the story. This will be the last part of the story that she helped write, though. Anyway, until next time!
