Chapter 14
This is the last chapter for this story but you know, I might do another one…you never know. Just to make you all a little curious, this chapter is gonna take place a while after the last chapter.
There he stood, dressed in a suit like he was supposed to for this occasion. Next to him were three guys the same age as himself. Closest was his best friend, Blaise. The other two were only recently considered his friends, Harry and Ron.
"You sure you're ok?" Blaise asked. "This is a big thing."
"I'll get through it." Draco said, nodding slightly.
"I can't believe this is happening." Harry muttered.
"Well believe it." Ron said. Draco shot them both looks and they stopped talking. He looked at the crowd. Sabrina, Leah's mom, stood near him. His three month old daughter, Kristina, in her arms. Her green and grey eyes watching her father with a smile. As young as she may be, she seemed to know exactly what was happening. Lily and James hurried down and joined Sabrina.
"You ready, mate?" Blaise asked.
"Yeah." Draco said, a slow smile crossing his face. Music started and Fleur led Ginny and Hermione up to the boys. They were dressed in deep red, knee length dresses. The music changed and there she was. Her arm through her father's arm. Sirius had the biggest smile on his face and, even though her face was covered with a veil, Draco could tell that she was trying not to laugh. She wasn't in the classic bride dress. He was almost like a white version of the bridesmaid dresses. Knee length, thin straps that hung off her shoulders, plain white flip-flop sandals. That was about as classy as she was going to get but no one seemed to care.
"You lucky bugger." Blaise whispered. Draco elbowed him. Behind them, Dumbledore coughed and both guys whispered an apology.
It took a few seconds for Sirius to finally let go of his daughter and everyone there could see her shaking with suppressed laughter. Draco smirked as her green eyes stayed locked on his grey ones.
"Are you calm enough?" Dumbledore asked.
"Mmm…uh…yeah." Leah said. She took a deep breath and nodded. "Ok…I'm good."
"It's understandable when you're a bridesmaid but you're the bride now." Draco said.
"Shut up and marry me already." Leah said. "Before I change my mind." Everyone laughed. Draco couldn't believe that three months ago he thought she was dead. She had been dead for about an hour but then, somehow, returned, saying that Snape told her that if she didn't come back then she would be in trouble.
The ceremony began, the vows exchanged, then rings exchanged, then the kiss, then Leah rushed over and took her daughter from her mother and kissed her on the head.
After dinner, Kristina got held by everyone, all the girls held her and danced and Leah and Draco argued about what house she was going to be in when she went to Hogwarts.
There was nothing to worry about, no more Voldemort, no one who might try to take over since Lucius Malfoy was killed that day. Narcissa…lived near Draco and Leah's new house, as did Sabrina and Sirius.
It was as if Draco was never a pain in the ass and never their enemy. His mother was the same. Sabrina was the first to forgive her and after that…everyone else, slowly, did so as well. Kristina loved her and that seemed to be what made everyone change their minds, although Narcissa sometimes overdid the niceness.
"So…Mrs. Malfoy." Draco said, wrapping his arms around his wife from behind and both of them watched Sirius and Sabrina playing with Kristina. "Are we finally happy?"
"Oh we are very happy." Leah said, leaning back against him. "Twenty…married to the greatest man in the world, and with a beautiful baby girl. Couldn't be any happier."
"What if we had another kid?" Draco asked.
"Not yet." Leah said. "I don't want Kristina to be an only child. But I don't wanna be fat again."
"You weren't fat." Draco said.
"Flattery won't help you." Leah said, moving away from him and laughing. Draco smirked. Hermione, Ginny, Harry and Ron all came over.
"You win!" Hermione said. "You did everything before us."
"Told ya I would." Leah said, laughing.
"Congrats, mate." Harry said. The girls went away from them.
"Ok tell. What's up with you?" Leah said, looking at Ginny. "You've been all weird the whole day."
"I'm pregnant." Ginny said. Leah and Hermione stared at her before squealing and jumping and hugging Ginny.
"Ooooh. Hello in there!" Leah said, talking to Ginny's stomach.
"Hey! I wasn't allowed talking to yours." Ginny said. They all laughed.
"What are they so happy about?" Ron asked, watching the girls.
"Hmm…got me." Draco said, shrugging. They looked at Harry. He was slightly red. "Looks like Harry knows something."
"What did you do?" Ron asked. Draco looked from Harry to the girls to see Leah squatting in front of Ginny and talking to the younger girl's stomach. Hermione was laughing and Ginny was going as red as her hair as she pulled Leah up.
"Oh…Ginny's pregnant." Draco said.
"What?" Ron asked, looking from the girls to Harry who looked down, his face almost as red as Ginny's. "Bloody hell. How far?"
"About two months I think." Harry said.
"You better not do what Draco here did and wait until after the baby's born." Ron said. Harry looked at him to see him smiling. Draco laughed.
"You better hurry up if you don't wanna get left out, mate." He said, elbowing Ron lightly.
"Left out of what?" Blaise asked, walking over.
"Ginny's pregnant." Draco said.
"Wow! Good going Potter." Blaise said. Draco laughed. Leah came over with Kristina in her arms. "Hey Le. Congratulations on both occasions."
"Thanks." Leah said, smiling. "Hey…you haven't held her yet."
"Oh you don't want him holding her." Draco said. "He could barely carry his books to class."
"Oh that so is not true." Leah said. "He managed to carry his own AND mine…once."
"Oh sure…make me out to sound like a klutz." Blaise said. "I'll have you know that I've gotten better since school."
"We're just teasing." Leah said, passing Kristina over to him. After a while, Blaise handed her back. Narcissa, Sabrina and Sirius all came over and everyone left the family alone.
Leah smiled as she thought of it. This was her family. Her parents got to stay. Her daughter would have a family that loved her as well as a great bunch of friends (Leah, Hermione and Ginny had already made sure they would stay together and their children would be friends. They lived within three blocks of each other already). For the first time in a long time, Leah felt carefree and happy. With Draco at her side, her parents' guidance, her friends' support and love all around, what else could she want?
The End
You know…I think I will make another story. It'll probably be a lot like the first one, just a lot of random things and all that. Seeing as how there's no Voldemort. I could always make someone up to be evil. LOL.
