…The Wedding…

We meet the others at the London airport. I could tell we were causing a scene. "Charlotte! Tell the truth. We were told that you guys cancelled your hotel reservations in France early! Where'd you go?" auntie Adalene demands. I look to the other girls for help, but we'd all been separated to prevent collusion.

I sigh and look at the ground. I'd expected nothing less. "That's not fair. We just relaxed and shopped is all. We spent more time outside then in the hotel, so it only made sense." I half lie. Blaise scoffs behind me. I make eye contact with Hermione. She winks and I nod. We'd made sure everyone had the same story ready before we left Hawaii. Auntie Adalene gives me a look then turned to go find Aithley for answers. "Why don't we all go back to the house and we can continue questioning them there." Mum suggests to the others just now noticing the looks we were getting.

Blaise wraps an arm around me and leads me out of the airport. I make myself follow where he was leading me even though I wanted to check on my friends. He leads me to a car. He motions for me to get in. I do. Draco and Astoria get in the backseat. He drives to my house. We went inside and grandma Black smiles slyly. "You girls are in so much trouble!" she laughs gleefully.

Blaise leads me to the living room. He sat me on his lap. I refuse to meet his gaze. We hear Izzy and Charlie, Harry and Ginny, Ava and Fred, Angelina and George, and Ron and Hermione enter the room. I begin humming. Blaise tsk and I change the tune and the other girls relax.

I stop humming as the other boys watch us on high alert. The silence grew with only grandma Black who's laughing cheerfully. The door opens and the others appear. I was going to stand but Blaise has an arm around my waist.

I watch as the adults peer at each of the girls. "Did they say anything?" mum asks Blaise. I turn to look at him. "Well Charlotte here was humming but she stopped." he informs them. Aithne starts singing the tune. Blaise's cousins relax too. Blaise watches them carefully. I whistle a tune barely audible. They blink and everyone refuses to make eye contact. I stare at grandma Black. She winks at me.

I smile lightly and stare at the floor while playing with my shirt. Well it was one of Blaise's shirts that I had taken a while back. "Are you girls really not going to say anything?!" dad chuckles. Ava whistles a tune and we all nod. This mystifies them. They thought I was the only one giving orders this way, but in fact I'd taught them all so we could communicate. I am not the ringleader but only we know. Hermione giggles.

Astoria winks at Luna. Blaise wraps his arm tighter around my waist. I whistle a note and all the girls fall out laughing. This shocks the others. Mum scoffs and turns to Mrs. Zabini "Charlotte has apparently taught them to communicate without using words. My sincerest apologies."

The realization dawns on them and I look into my mum's face with an innocent smile. Her eyes investigate mine, but I let nothing show. Dad collapses into a chair. I turn to him then immediately look to the floor. He was staring at me with his puppy dog eyes. I fidget. I hum and the other girls got the signal. "Come on. Where'd you go love?" Blaise asks. "Where'd you go?", I counter.

"I have their cameras!" Lucas announces as he enters the room. our heads shoot up. "That's evil Blaise." I mutter. He shrugs. Ortensia clears her throat. They turn to her. Blaise pulls me closer to his chest. I want nothing more than to relax against him, but I force myself not to. "We went to Hawaii. Whale watching and surfing you know.", she mumbles. She was blushing and looking at the floor not used to everyone being so focused on her.

"Where else did you go?" Charlie asks. He was in a corner with Izzy, her face was hidden in his chest. "We went hiking, shopping, and we visited a volcano.", Astoria whispered. Draco looks at her incredulously. Grandma Black giggles. Mum turns to her. "You seem to know something, don't you?" she questions.

"Ask Sirius. He seems to have noticed.", she pouts not necessarily a fan of mum's accustorial stare. Mum turns to dad. "You girls were in New York, too weren't you?" he asks. I see Izzy stiffen. The only one still confused was Lucas. Draco tsks. "Of course. There was absolutely no way you girls would stay put in one place for long." he scoffs. "The only question left is where did you girls go after Hawaii." dad speaks slowly as if he senses it. I freeze unable to control myself.

We all begin to whistle. Dad shakes his head. Blaise turns my face to look at his. I melt instantly and close my eyes. "Iguazu Falls… and Shirahage Falls…" I whisper. "Now why did it take all this to get the answers out of you?" Blaise wonders. "We were scared of the reaction we might get.", Angelina answers for me. Blaise wraps his other arm around me. I rest my head on his shoulder. I open my eyes. "Such worrying kids." mum mutters.

I hear Mrs. Zabini tsking and then the adults leaves the room. Silence descends once again. Lucas chortles as he flips through the photos. Ron and Harry join him. "Wow! You girls are insane." Ron mutters.

I investigate Blaise's face for any sign of anger. He was staring at me but smiling. I relax slightly. "You visited Santa in New York?" Akio asks as he looks at the photos. I watch as Fred and George, Charlie, and Draco went over. I bury my face in Blaise's neck. He chuckles. I hum lightly. Izzy whistles back and I laugh. I kissed Blaise's neck lightly. I looked up. He looks calm or rather calmer than at the airport.

I sit up and look around. The other girls looked as tired as I felt. The boys were looking through our photos we'd taken. I turn and see that Astoria, Ava, Hermione, Ginny, and Izzy are sleeping in a huddle on the floor. I lean back onto Blaise's chest. He kisses the top of my head and I fall asleep.

When I wake, I'm in my bed and Blaise has his arms wrapped around me. "Are you awake now love?" he grumbles. I turn. According to the clock only a few hours have passed. I groan.

"I want to sleep longer but I can't." I groan. I fully open my eyes. Blaise was staring at me. I smile up at him. I sit up. He pulls me to him. "Silly girls. You guys put so much effort into keeping your trip secret you all passed out as soon as the interrogation was over." he mumbles a trace of a smile on his face.

I kiss his neck lightly. He groans. I kiss his lips gently. He wraps his arms tighter around me. I hum lightly. He slides me onto his lap. I play with the collar of his shirt. "I thought you promised to never worry me." he mutters. I tense. "I'm sorry." I mumble. He chuckles. I look at him. He wasn't mad. I look around.

"You said we all fell asleep." I start. Blaise stands up taking me with him. He puts my feet on the floor leads me from my room. Izzy was asleep in her room with Charlie. Ava was chatting with Fred, Angelina, and George in her room. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were in Harry's room playing Wizard's Chess. Draco and Astoria were in the kitchen. The others were passed out in the living room.

We went to Blaise's flat so he could put his things away. I play with Agni for a bit. I turn on the radio and let music fill the room. Blaise joins me and we dance for a few hours.

We went back to my place for an early dinner. Everyone was awake now. I hug mum and dad. Then I take Rochelle, Izzy, Luna, Elda, and Ginny to the study.

They throw questioning glances my way. I place a few charms on the study door so no one could enter or hear what we were saying. I open a side panel in the wall and the bridesmaid's dresses appear.

They gasp. I show each girl her dress and was surprised to see that the dresses fit perfectly with each girl and her personality. I burst into tears. "If Charlie and Harry don't propose to you two when they see you in these dresses I'm going to hit them!" I cry as Izzy and Ginny held the dresses up to their frames.

They burst into laughter and we put the dresses back and left the room. Elda, Rochelle, and Luna couldn't look Charlie and Harry in the face because they'd start laughing again. I was crying and laughing at their bewildered faces.

"I think you need another nap." Blaise states as we all burst into giggles again. "Why are you guys laughing?" mum asks in concern. Luna explains and I bury my face in Blaise's neck so I can't see Harry and Charlie's expressions.

Dad sniggers and mum smacks his shoulder lightly but starts laughing too. Blaise chuckles and I look up in time to see Harry and Charlie's shocked expressions. I bury my face back in Blaise's neck as another wave of laughter hit me.

The night continues in this cheery way. Everyone went home around midnight. Mum and dad went upstairs. Izzy, Charlie, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Ava, and Fred went inside.

I sit in Blaise's lap as he hums lightly and play with his hands. "What'd you take before the trip?" he asks and I smile. "Your trip first?" I respond. He turns me so I have to look at him. I wrap my arms around his neck. He kisses me. "Tell me." he mumbles against his lips.

"What did I take?" I ask still dizzy from the kiss. He chuckles and kisses me again. "What am I going to do with you?" he whispers. I kiss him gently. "Your trip?" I asks. Blaise kisses my neck. I freeze. "I took something?" I ask. Blaise groans. "Well I didn't take anything besides the jacket.", I answer honestly. He closes his eyes, murmurs something, and smiles. I kiss him gently.

I sit in the chair in the hotel suite in Miami. I put the rings, earrings, and necklace on. Mrs. Zabini had brought the dress she'd made in. It was gorgeous. Izzy and Rochelle helped me into it, and I slid into the heels I'd brought. I stand in front of the mirror as my bridesmaids stand beside me. It was beyond perfection.

Mum knocks on the door and she and dad enter the room. I turn to them. Dad tears up and hugs me. "My baby girl is all grown up!" he cries. I begin to get misty eyed. I sniffle. "Oh no! None of that!" mum sniffs as she leaves the room. I hear her crying as she walks down the hall. Dad went to comfort mum and I fix my light makeup. Elda, Luna, and Rochelle went down to the hall to notify everyone I was ready. Ginny hands me the bouquet. I take a deep breath, and we leave the room.

I sit by Blaise at the reception. We watched as our families and friends dance. My head was on his shoulder. "I love you." he whispers. I smile. "Aww! My husband is so sweet." I tease. I feel him scoff. I was watching Charlie and Harry. Not once had their eyes left Izzy and Ginny.

When we'd entered earlier, I had reminded Izzy of what she could give me as a wedding gift. I chuckle. I turn my head to Blaise. "You look to good in that outfit. If I'm illegal you're forbidden." I whisper staring into his eyes.

He kisses me gently. "Nice try missy. No." he slides his glass of wine away from me. "That's not what I meant. Do you think you're ready to tell me about your trip now?" I mumble. He grins and shakes his head. I sigh and played with his hands.

Luna cme over and retrieve me to dance with the others. Byanca and Akio were dancing together and I smile. I danced with Luna, Izzy, and Ginny. We dance for a few songs. "I wonder who will win?" Luna smiles. "Win what? Did you guys make another bet?" I ask. "You'll see." Luna smiled as she spins around.

I dance with dad. He was tearing up again. "Aww! Don't cry!" I start tearing up. He blinks rapidly. I call mum over. "You two!" she sighs. We were both crying now. Uncle Remus chuckled as he passed by.

I wipe the tears from my eyes. Izzy comes over and hugs dad. I smile. "Did he propose yet?!" I ask her excitedly in Chinese. She shoots me a not right now look. I look at Charlie who was talking to Lucas and Draco. Alexis and Anna were dancing with Uberto and Jino.

Dad went to talk to uncle Remus and mum follows. "Is now the time?", I asked Izzy impatiently. She blushes and went to get a drink. I follow her to the table. Juliet comes over her face flushed from dancing with Landon. "What's going on?" she asks a sly smile on her face. "You two still haven't stopped teasing her yet?" she scoff.

I hand them both a glass. They drink then look at the glass. "Moonshine and champagne!" I smile gleefully. I clap my hands excitedly at their shocked expression. I hum as I drop them off at their tables and rejoin Blaise.

I smile at him. "Are you purposely getting your friends drunk?" he asks. I feign surprise "Of course not! They just looked a little parched." He isn't sold. "I wonder what Luna meant earlier." I murmur to myself. "Oh, the bet?!" Blaise asks.

I pout. Of course, he knew what bet it was. He sh hiakess head and smiled. He knew and he wouldn't tell me. Harry came over and whispers something to Blaise. Blaise nods and stands. I look back and forth at the two. Blaise motions for me to stay put.

I watch as they went over to Charlie and Draco. Izzy, Ginny, and Astoria joined me. They look confused. I fidget in my chair. We'd made some last-minute changes to the plans for the evening. Everyone quieted as the guys gather on the dance floor.

Blaise clears his throat though it wasn't necessary. "Some of you were probably expecting the bride to come out for this portion but as I have not told her what we did for our winter trip this task now falls to me." Blaise informs the room and he holds the bouquet I was holding earlier. My friends throw shocked glances my way. "He knows I would've handed it off to one of you.", I mutter. I smile at the nervous looks on the boy's faces. Blaise throws the bouquet and we watch with bated breath.

I whistled as George caught the flowers. He looks around extremely flustered. Ginny bursts into laughter and points at a blushing and hiding Angelina on the floor beneath their table. I turn to Izzy and Ginny. I raised an eyebrow, and they got the hint. They hurry over to congratulate Angelina. I stand from my seat and went over with Astoria. I hug Angelina. "Congrats dear!" I smirk. She looks at me and then back to the floor. "I must confess though, I thought Fred would've surely caught it.", I stated. Angelina's head shot up and I hear a squeak behind me. I turn to see Ava weaving through the room and out the door.

I shoot Angelina a comforting smile. We talk with Angelina until she was less flustered. Blaise came over and separated me from the girls. "That was an excellent toss sir." I giggle as he leads me away. He gives me a look. "There'll be no hitting tonight. Whether Charlie and Harry propose or not." he whispers. I sigh in defeat.

He looks around the room. I think for a second. "You know something I don't know." I gasp. He looks thoughtful then shrugs. I watch as Fred leaves out the same door as Ava. Blaise leads me further away. He places his arms around my waist. I glance up at him. He knew something, but I couldn't figure it out. He hums lightly. I watch him carefully.

He looks into my eyes then looks away. I put my head on his chest. I wrap my arms around him, and we sway to the music that was playing.

I hear my friends gasping. I turn. Angelina was kissing George a ring now on her finger. I squeal. I spy a flash on Izzy's hand. Blaise pulls my face to his. "I think you're distracted." he murmurs. I kiss him.

We stay in the hall dancing until everyone went to bed. We leave the hall saying our last thanks to the staff, musicians, caterers, and bakers.

Our bags were already in the car outside. We changed and get in. We head to the airport. We had a little time before our flight. I keep looking at my ring. It felt like a dream. Blaise kissed my neck. I turn to him.

"Why no hitting?" I ask. He shakes his head. We board our flight. I sleep on Blaise's shoulder. He wakes me when we land. I take a deep breath when we got off the plane in Santorini, Greece.

Blaise does not let me go all the way to the hotel. I open the door to our suite. Blaise picks me up and carries me inside closing the door with his foot. I giggle as he places me on the bed. He kisses me passionately. I wrap my arms around him. He groans and looks at me. I stare up at him. "Charlotte you are positively the best thing in my life." he murmurs. I blinked as the words register in my head. I smile and he kisses me again.

He slowly takes my shirt off. He kisses a trail down my body. I moan and squirm beneath him. I barely register the fact he'd already taken his shirt off. He kisses me passionately. His hands move to mine pinning them above my head. I deepen the kiss and he growls.

I wrap my legs around his waist and flipped us over. My lips attached themselves to his neck as I unbutton his pants. I slide my hand inside palming him through the material of boxers. He groans and I smirk against his neck.

He removes my hand with a bit of effort and flips us back over. He slides my pants off then his. He kisses a trail back up my legs. I gasp as he slides my panties to the side and began to eat me out. He holds my hips down and I squirmed beneath him. I let out a moan as he runs his thumb across my clit. I whimper and Blaise tsks. He returns to his task and places my leg over his shoulder.

Stars burst across my vision. He kisses my clit and then kisses a trail back up my body. I groan as his lips find my breast. His hands still played with my clit. He began kissing my neck attacking the sensitive spot. I gasp. He smirks. I squirm beneath him and feel him slide inside me. I sigh in satisfaction. He moves slowly and I groan as I let him take control.

I kiss his neck. He groans and I shudder. "I love you." I whisper in his ear. I press myself against him and move with him. He holds my hips in place moving faster. I kiss him as I moan, and he moves faster. I orgasm and he watches me. I wrap my legs around him pulling him deeper. I arch my back as I feel another orgasm nearing. "I love you Charlotte." he whispers in my ear. I shiver and our climaxes hit us.

We fall back onto the bed panting and gasping. I roll us over. He hardened again and I slid down his length. I move slowly then speed up. He groans. I lean down and kiss him. He deepens the kiss cupping my face to keep me from moving too far away. I continue to roll my hips down and moan into the kiss. We climax again and he pulls me down to him. I lay on his chest as we caught our breath. "What a wonderful first night Mrs. Zabini." he panted. I look up at him. I kiss him gently.
