The Star Crossed Lovers Chapter 43, a harry potter fanfic

Chapter 43:

Hermione used the time Draco was away to change her appearance. Guests or no guests didn't make a difference, it was her wedding day and she wanted to look appropriate.

She curled up her hair, brining a few strands up and letting the rest fall freely down her back. She added side bangs and some blonde highlights to enchant the look.

Hermione wore the necklace Draco gave her, along with the engagement ring, which never came off her finger. She decided not to wear any other jewelry so it wouldn't over due her simple look.

She applied some gentle make up on her fair face. Using a light pink shade for blush, and white and silver colors for eye make up. Hermione applied some sparkles to the corners of her eyes, and the tips of her mascara. She used a baby pink color on her lips and decided it was just enough.

For a dress, Hermione used new satin sheets and her wand to stitch something beautiful out of it. She created a heart shaped top, open back dress that fitted as a mermaid shape down her flawless body. It had a long train and she conjured some silk flowers to decorate the train with.

It wasn't a very fancy Cinderella type of dress but it fitted their celebration perfectly. Hermione conjured another flower, a bigger and fuller one, and placed it in her hair, where all the curls fell from.

Draco walked into the bedroom and couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing. Hermione was standing there, dressed in all white, looking prettier then he could ever remember.

He smiled at her, and gave her the bouquet of flowers he was hiding behind his back. The bouquet was created out of kale lilies. Two dozen kale lilies brought together into a big round bunch. They were trimmed at the bottom and looked astonishing.

Draco was dressed in his best robes, after all he was a wizard and he wanted to represent it on his wedding day. It was the first time Hermione had seen him in light gray. The color fitted him staggeringly and brought out his exquisite gray eyes.

She smiled at him, and allowed him to lead her out of the bedroom. Draco pulled out blindfolds and wrapped them around her gorgeous eyes. He then told her to trust and follow him.

He led her into the living room, and only removed the blindfolds once she was standing in the center of the room. Hermione opened her eyes and looked around her surroundings. She was stunned with the beauty of the room. She couldn't believe Draco would go to such measures to prove his love to her.

"Wow Draco, I'm astonished. I don't know what to say. This is… wow, it's so… perfect." she finally said. She wanted to say more, much more. To tell him just how mesmerizing everything looked, and how happy she was to be here. She wanted to let him know that this was more then anything she had ever imagined. She never expected for any hall or church to look so beautiful. Hermione wanted to say a lot, but the words never met her tongue.

"I'm glad you love it." he said, kissing her on the cheek. He then helped her sit down on one of the pillows and sat down on the other one across from her. He reached for the box with the rings and opened it. He took one ring out and looked at it, he then looked up at Hermione.

"Hermione, this ring, although is really simple and plain means a lot. It is round, which represents endless eternity. In a circle there is no end, it goes on forever. The same is true with my love for you. Maybe we haven't been together for a very long time, and yes we are young and naïve, but I know, deep in my heart that my love doesn't have timing. It wouldn't matter if I would have been with you for a year or a decade, I would still feel the same way about you as I do right now." started Draco looking into her eyes deeply.

All I am, all I'll be
Everything in this world
All that I'll ever need
Is in your eyes
Shining at me

"I thank God everyday for the day we met, and I constantly remind myself that I am the luckiest man alive, having a women like you by my side. You mean the world to me, and I mean it. If I would have to die for you, kill for you, love for you, I would do it. No matter what you ask of me I would fulfill it." he continued in the same gentle tone.

When you smile I can feel
All my passion unfolding
Your hand brushes mine
And a thousand sensations
Seduce me 'cause I

"I promise that I would be with you through it all. Through pain and pleasure, joy and sadness, riches and poorness, sickness and health. I promise to love you, no matter what life throws our way, and I promise to spend the rest of my life, brining the rays of sunshine into yours." he added, taking his wand out and tapping it on the ring twice.

I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do

A silver ribbon shot out of his wand and wrapped itself around the ring. After spinning it for twenty seconds it finally disappeared and let the ring fall back into Draco's hand.

Draco took the ring in his fingers and showed it to Hermione. Inside the ring the words: "I do and I will forever." were engraved. He placed the ring on her left ring finger; he then slid it all the way up.

"I take you as you are, and I promise to love and cherish you forever." said Draco and kissed her on the lips.

"Draco." Hermione began a minute later.

"I always thought I was suppose to live a certain way, and believe in certain things. I always lived by what's right and wrong, and what would be approved or not. That was all until the day I met you."

In my world, before you
I lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
'Till that day I found you

"You taught me to think with my heart, and not with my head. You taught me to follow my intuition and do what feels right. You freed my mind and captured my heart and no matter how hard I try, I will never be able to tell you just how much you mean to me." Hermione said, a tear sliding down her tanned cheek.

How you opened my life
To a new paradise
In a world torn by change
Still with all my heart
'Till my dying day

"Before you, life was pointless. I lived by the rules and expected some sort of reward. I was empty and lonely, though my mind never allowed me to admit it. You came into my life, and showed me that people can live as oppose to exist. You showered me with love and lighted a fire in my heart. A fire created out of wood I never knew existed. I love you, and I will for eternity. Just like the circle, my love will never end. I will cherish you and cater to you." said Hermione, now tapping the second ring with her wand, causing the same ribbon to come out, perform the same magic, and engrave the same words.

"I promise to be there for you and support you no matter what may happen. I promise to love you and understand you. I promise to stand by you and share the rest of my life with you. From this day forward you are consecrate to me as my one and only love."

She placed the ring on his finger and slid it all the way up. She then kissed his hand and brought it to her stomach. Draco felt the energy of life being created in her stomach. He placed his other hand on her chin and brought his face closer to hers, making their lips finally meet. He kissed her, as his wife, for the first time ever. He kissed her deep and with a heart full of passion, proving to her that his words weren't just a waste of air, that he really did mean every single one of them.

He picked her up in his arms, and led her to their bedroom, closing the door after them. Inside their bedroom the honeymoon began.
