The week flew by to fast for Hermione and Draco. Everything for the wedding was ready except for the bride and groom. Both decided, Hermione more than Draco, that they wouldn't see each other until Hermione walked down the aisle.
Draco was walking around the seventh year boys' dormitory in his Ralph Lauren (Chelsea) Tuxedo. His tie and vest were the color of his eyes, which made them seem to shine. "Blaise should I be this nervous?" Draco asked trying to tie his tie.
Blaise walked over to him and tied it for him. "Yes, you should be this nervous. All guys go though this." Blaise said.
"But what if she says I don't? We have only been dating for a little over a month! How could the Dark Lord ask, no make us get married so quick?" Draco said running a hand though his hair.
"Drake she won't get cold feet. This is Granger we are talking about she is the toughest Gryffindor in this whole school. You either had to marry her, kill her, or die! I would have done the same thing your doing now!" Blaise said.
Draco smiled at his friend then put his hair in a low ponytail when his father walked in. "Draco, its time for you to get married. You ready?" Lucius asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be father." Draco said.
Lucius walked over to his son and fixed his tie and tux. "Come on, we don't want to keep people waiting do we?"
Draco nodded and left the dorm and went up to the Great Hall.
Meanwhile in the Head Girl's dormitory Hermione was doing the last minute touches to her self for the wedding. She was wearing a two-piece, separate, Italian satin top with golden/white embroidery, front and back. Chiffon long sleeves, zipper back, a-line Italian satin skirt, and it was in a Renaissance/Medieval style. "I look like a princess." Hermione said as she put on her JL Johnson pearl and rhinestone tiara.
"Yes you do look like a princess. Draco is going to die when he sees you." Giselle said walking in wearing her Alex Hanson silky satin lilac one-piece dress with dropped shoulder. "Are you all ready? Do you have something new, something old, something borrowed, something blue?"
"Yes the necklace is new, the earrings are old, my tiara is borrowed, and my guarder is something blue." Hermione said putting on a little bit of cherry lip-gloss.
"Hermione its time." Tonks said poking her head into the room.
Hermione grabbed her flowers then left the Head Rooms and went to the Great Hall.
Draco was standing at the alter shaking a bit. "Please let everything go as planned." Draco prayed.
"Don't worry my boy everything will be fine." Albus said placing a hand on Draco's shoulder.
Just then "Think of me" from "The Phantom of the Opera" started to play and bride's maids, groomsmen, maid of honor, and best man walked down the aisle. Draco smiled at his friend when he saw him walk down with Ginny Weasley and Giselle le Boursier, maids of honor. It seemed like a lifetime until everyone was at his or her spots.
The song ended and "All I ask of you" also from "The Phantom of the Opera" started to play. The doors opened and there was Hermione standing next to her father, John Granger. "Holy Merlin's robes!" Draco whispered.
Hermione's father walked her down the aisle. "You ok sunshine?" John whispered.
"Yes daddy I'm fine just a little nervous is all." Hermione whispered back.
They got up to the alter and Dumbledore asked, "Who gives this witch to this wizard?"
"Her mother and I do." John said as he handed Hermione over to Draco.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered her today to join this witch and this wizard together in holy matrimony. Is there anyone here who thinks that these two shall not be married? If so speak now or forever hold your peace." Dumbledore said
Pansy was about to say something but Blaise and Ginny gave her a death glare. "Draco, do you take Hermione to be your lawful wedded wife? To have and to hold though sickness and in health for richer or poorer till death do you part?" questioned Dumbledore.
Draco looked at Hermione and smiled. "Yes I do." Draco said.
"Hermione, do you take Draco to be your lawful wedded husband? To have and to hold though sickness and in health for richer or poorer till death do you part?" questioned Dumbledore.
"Yes I do." Hermione said with tears running down her cheeks.
"May we have the ring please," Dumbledore asked. Ginny gave Hermione Draco's ring just as Blaise gave Draco Hermione's ring. "Draco repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed."
"With this ring I thee wed." Draco said as he slipped on a gold ring with an emerald as the main stone with a ruby on both sides of it with two diamonds next to the rubies.
"Hermione repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed." said Dumbledore
"With this ring I thee wed." Hermione said as she slipped the simple wedding band on Draco's ring finger.
"Will you please take your wands out." Dumbledore requested. Draco and Hermione pulled their wands out and touched their tips together. Dumbledore pulled his out and pointed it at their wands. He then mumbled a few words and there was a flash of white light. "Your wands are now joined until the end of time. Your magic is one now. Draco you may now kiss the bride."
Draco smiled and pulled Hermione close to him and kissed her softly on the lips.
'Oh come on Draco I know you can kiss better than that.' Hermione said in her mind. She kissed back deepening the kiss. They broke away a couple minutes later smiling at each other.
The Great Hall broke into cheers and then the hall changed for the reception. Draco and Hermione were standing at the Head table, which was for the Wedding Party tonight.
"Draco my boy she is a beautiful young wife." Draco's uncle Zeus said patting him on the back. "Tell me is she a pureblood?"
"No she is a muggle-born and if you have a problem with that then talk to the Dark Lord since he selected her for me. Also no one in the Malfoy family will be treating her any different. She will be carrying the Malfoy heir before Monday. If anyone threats her, touches her, or does anything to hurt her they will answer to me." Draco said making his uncle flinch.
Hermione walked over to Draco and took his hand. "Honey dinner is about to start. We better take our seats," she said.
They went to their spot at the table and everyone was served. Halfway though the dinner Hermione stood up and tapped her wine glass, Draco followed. "Ladies and gentlemen Draco and I have a little announcement"
"We are expecting" Draco he said
Hermione smiled and took his hand. "Draco and I are going to be having twins."
Draco stared at her in shock. "Twins? Your having twins? I'm going to have two children instead of one!"
"Draco are you not happy?" Hermione asked.
"Of course I'm happy! I found out on my wedding day that I am going to be a father of twins! This is the best wedding gift ever!" Draco said as he picked her up, spinning around, and kissing her. She began to squeal in happiness.
Dinner was pretty much normal for the happy new couple except for Blaise's little rant on how many hearts were going to be broken tonight and Hermione's gift.
Draco took Hermione's hand and led her to the dance floor. He wrapped is left arm around her waist and held her hand with the other. "Draco what song did you…"Hermione said but her question was soon answered when "I could not ask for more" by Edwin McCain started to play.
Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smilin just to see
The smile upon your face
And these are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
And these are the moments
I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
"Draco you remembered that he was my favorite artist." Hermione said.
"How could I forget? His songs say just what I feel and much more." Draco replied
Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are
Is everything to me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
And these are the moments
I know all I need is this
I have all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
Hermione looked up at Draco and smiled then rested her head on his chest as the swayed to the music.
I could not ask for more
Than this love together
I could not ask for more
Than this love with you
And every prayer has been answered
And every dream I had come true
Yeah, you're right here in this moment
Is right here where I'm meant to be
Oh, Here with you
Here with me
"Oliver look at them. I wasn't to sure about Hermione marrying him but I can easily tell that he loves her and she loves him just as much." Giselle said dancing with Oliver.
And these are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
And these are the moments
I'll remember all my life
I've got all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
Oliver looked over at the happy couple dancing whispering I love you to each other. "Your right Giselle. I never thought I would see Draco Malfoy in love with Hermione let alone getting married to her." Oliver replied running his fingers through Giselle's hair. 'Just wait till the song I requested starts to play.' Oliver thought to himself
I could not ask for more
Than this love together
I could not ask for more
Than this love with you
And every prayer has been answered
And every dream I had come true
Yeah, you're right here in this moment
Is right here where I'm meant to be
Oh, Here with you
Here with me
"Draco, don't Oliver and Giselle look happy together?" Hermione asked
"Yes they do. They look as happy as we do except they are not married yet." Draco replied
Could not ask for more
Than the love you give me
Cause it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
And I could not ask for more
The song ended then slowly then H.I.M.'s song "Beautiful" started to play.
Just one look into your eyes
One look and I'm crying
'Cause you're so beautiful
"Oliver Wood! Did you request this song?" Giselle asked
"What do you think my dear?" Oliver asked as he kissed her neck.
Just one kiss and I'm alive
One kiss and I'm ready to die'Cause you're so beautiful
Hermione watched Giselle and Oliver and giggled. "Aww that is so sweet!"
"Uh Giselle there is something I need to ask you." Oliver said nervously
"Yes Oliver?" Giselle asked
Just one touch and I'm on fire
One touch and I'm crying
'Cause you're so beautiful
Oliver slowly got down on one knee and looked up at her. "Would you make me the happiest man in this room, well except for Draco, and become my wife?" Oliver said pulling out a black velvet box and opening it to revel a 14K white gold ring has one Ceylon sapphire accented by eight round diamonds.
Just one smile and I'm wild
One smile and I'm ready to die
'Cause you're so beautiful
Giselle covered her mouth and gasped. "Oh my god! Oliver…I…I…I do!" she said starting to tear up.
Oliver smiled then stood up and put the ring on her ring finger. "Thank you so much baby. I won't let you down." Oliver said wiping the tears away from her eyes. Then he led her to the table he was sitting at and Giselle showed off her new ring.
Oh and you're so beautiful
My darling
Oh you're so beautiful
You're so beautiful
Oh my baby
You're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful
Oh my darling
Oh my baby
And you're so beautiful
When the song ended Hermione looked up at Draco and kissed him softly on the lips.
"I am so happy that Oliver proposed to Giselle. Took him long enough, they were dating over a year" Hermione said
They heard someone cough behind them and Hermione turned around only to see Lucius stand behind her. "Draco may I have the next dance with your beautiful wife?" Lucius asked holding out his hand.
Hermione looked at Draco who nodded and he handed Hermione over to his father. "If he tries anything or if you feel threatened just flip your hair back and I'll be right over." Draco whispered in her ear.
Lucius did the same thing as Draco did when he danced with her. "You do look beautiful tonight Miss Granger."
"That's Mrs. Malfoy now…father." Hermione said sweetly.
"You are correct Hermione. I have a gift from the Dark Lord that he wanted me to give to you." Lucius said as he pulled out a small box from his pocket then charmed it to return to its full size. "The Dark Lord said that you will need later during your pregnancy. Congregations, I will tell our Lord about the twins."
Hermione took the box and placed it on the table then went back to dance with her new father-in-law. Hermione danced with Blaise, her father, Ron, Harry, Remus, Prof. Snape, Prof. Dumbledore, and Mr. Weasley. It was now time for her to toss the bouquet. She walked up to the staff table, turned her back to the group of girls, and then tossed it.
"A HA I got it!" Ginny yelled.
Draco playfully punched Blaise in the arm and then went up to Hermione. "All right boys get ready for the guarder!" Draco shouted.
With the famous Malfoy smirk on his face Draco slid his hand up Hermione's dress and pushed it up. He kissed up her leg until he got to the guarder. He grabbed it with his teeth and slowly pulled it down her leg. He finally pulled it off then flanged it across the room.
Blaise got it with ease. "Oh great there's going to be another wedding soon! Ginny got the bouquet and now Blaise got the guarder." Draco said laughing. Draco grabbed Hermione's hand and led her outside.
