"Of course I will, Severus!" Sophia cried and hugged him tightly.
Severus put the ring on her finger and kissed her.
"Unfortunately," Albus said from beside them, "according to Ministry rules, Sophia isn't allowed to be on Hogwarts grounds because she is entirely a Muggle now, due to her taking the potion.."
Severus's heart began beating faster and he felt an icy numbness in his limbs. What if the ministry took his Sophia away? He had just asked her to marry him.
"So, I think the best solution here would be if I married you two right now." Albus looked over his glasses at Severus and Sophia.
"What? Hang on, what?" Sophia asked. "Now? Right now?" She looked up at Severus, who was looking slightly worried. "Severus? Do you wanna get married now?" She asked.
"I would marry you in a heartbeat," he looked down at her, "you know that."
"Then it's settled! I will owl the ministry, an official will be sent over within the minute. Remus and the official will be witnesses." Albus clapped his hands together. "Oh, I do love weddings."
Ten or so minutes later, and Sophia and Severus stood in front of Albus, holding hands, as a cranky looking Ministry Official and Remus stood behind them. The ministry official warily eyed Remus as they waited for Albus to begin the ceremony.
"Gentlemen and Lady, we are here today to join these two people in marriage. A muggle and a wizard, betrothed and deeply in love. Please place your joined hands on the golden stand in front of you both." Albus said.
Sophia and Severus put their hands on the golden stand that was a little above waist height, and waited. Severus squeezed Sophia's hand and looked at her.
"Severus, please repeat after me, 'I, Severus Snape, take you, Sophia Lennox, to be my lawfully wedded wife."
"I, Severus Snape, take you, Sophia Lennox, to be my lawfully wedded wife."
"In sickness and in health, through my bad moods, and the occasional infestation of blast-ended skrewts or flesh eating slugs, through my even worse moods, through my constant sneering and sarcastic remarks, until death do us part." Albus said, and nodded to Severus to repeat, while Remus snickered and Sophia giggled.
Severus glared at Albus, then repeated, "In sickness and health, through the occasional infestation of blast-ended skrewts or flesh eating slugs, through having a meddlesome employer poking his nose into our business, until death do us part." Severus sneered at Albus.
"See?" Whispered Albus to Sophia, who then giggled.
The ministry official cleared his throat, and Albus continued with the ceremony.
"Sophia, repeat after me," Albus started, "I, Sophia Lennox, take you, Severus Snape, to be my lawfully wedded husband."
"I, Sophia Lennox, take you, Severus Snape, to be my lawfully wedded husband."
"Through sickness, and in health, through the bad and the good, the nice and the irritating, the soft and the hard, the light and the dark, the black and the white.."
"Ahem." The ministry official coughed again.
"Ah yes, through it all, until death do us part" Albus nodded to Sophia.
"Through sickness and in health, through the back and good, through it all, until death do us part." She smiled at Severus and leant her head against his upper arm.
Then the golden stand on which they rested their hands began glowing, and gold ribbons came out of the stand and wrapped themselves around the joined hands, then soaked into their skin, and they pulled their hands apart.
"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." Albus finished.
Suddenly, Severus was pulled with this force, a need to kiss his bride, kiss his bride and MORE, in fact. Severus pulled Sophia to him, hard, and kissed her deeply.
"You two are excused to your rooms," Albus said, "I will take care of the paperwork and bring you things to sign in around 3 hours." He twinkled at them, and Severus dragged Sophia out of the room and to his rooms, with the intentions of thoroughly shagging her.
