Chapter 31

Graduation and Wedding Rehearsal

Finally the day had arrived. I was legally going to be a Hogwarts graduate…and the day after that I was going to become the wife of none other than Draco Malfoy.

My family decided to stick around for the graduation ceremony before they went back to the guest dormitories for the night.

They were staying in the school for two reasons. Reason A was because they were my family and McGonagall didn't want them being hounded by reporters and reason B was just that. The inns and hotels in Hogsmeade were all filled with guests, reporters, photographers and the like. Apparently a wedding of a Death Eater's son to the Girl Who Lived, the wizard saviour and Harley Quinn was a big deal and it was going to be a whole issue on it in the Daily Prophet the day after the wedding!

In fact, the Ministry was even video taping the wedding so wizards who weren't invited could watch. I was gonna have cameras in my face during my wedding ceremony…oh, lord, what'd I get myself into? The wizards were taking Muggle ideas. Great!

It didn't matter anyway, as long as I had Draco, I'd be fine.

I woke up the day of graduation and the wedding rehearsal to Draco shouting instructions.

"I WANT BOUNCERS AT EVERY ENTRANCE TO THE SCHOOL! NO ONE GETS IN WITHOUT AN INVITATION! NOT EVEN THROUGH THE GATES! I'LL HANG THE FIRST PERSON TO LET ONE OF THESE SCUMBAGS ANYWHERE NEAR ME AND MY BRIDE!"

I yawned and got up. "Draco, what are you hollering about now?" I asked. In the days that had preceded then, Draco was shouting at everyone.

"THIS!" Draco thrust an addition of the Prophet into my hand and I read it.

ATTENTION ALL PAPARRAZZI!

PHOTOS, PHOTOS, PHOTOS! THE FIRST PERSON WITH THE PHOTO OF THE BRIDE AND GROOM'S FIRST KISS AT THE WEDDING OF DRACO MALFOY AND HANNAH POTTER WILL BE AWARDED 50 000 GALLEONS A MONTH FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES!

Draco also handed me an issue of Witch Weekly with the exact same advertisement!

I groaned. "UGH!" I shouted, flopping back into the couch. "Why can't they just leave us alone!?"

Draco kissed my forehead and rubbed my shoulders. "Relax, Hannah, leave everything to me."

I sighed, letting my head fall back into the couch. "Bastard." I muttered.

Draco just smirked. "I know I am. But you know you love me."

I grinned. "Yes, Draco, yes, I do." I said, letting my eyes close.

"Don't get too comfortable, Han, Aunt Petunia and Dudley are coming tonight." Harry told me.

I groaned. "I'll deal with it later!" I told him, sinking back into my world of bliss, tension melting away.

I sighed. I had nothing to worry about. I could have almost melted into a puddle where I sat.

"REALITY CALLING THE FUTURE MRS MALFOY!" Hermione shouted at me.

I shouted out at this sudden jolt back to reality, falling off the couch. "WATSON!" I shouted.

"Welcome back, Sherlock." Hermione smirked. "Harry's not kidding. Your aunt and cousin are here now!"

I paled. "How'd you know?"

"Met them." Sheila and Hermione said together.

"Your aunt really is a nice woman." Hermione told me. "Now get your ass presentable and go down to Hogsmeade to greet your aunt!"

I huffed. "Fine, fine, fine!" I said, starting upstairs with Draco following me.

I took all but my underwear off and started digging for some clothes when I felt Draco kissing up my back to nibble on my neck.

"Excuse me!" I said, turning to look at him. "What are you doing?"

Draco looked up at me like an innocent schoolboy caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "Wedding night rehearsal?"

"Nice try, Draco." I said, pushing him off me. "But I mean it! No more sex until after we're married."

Draco huffed and crossed his arms. "You're no fun!" he pouted as I got a skort on.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, get some clothes on." I told him as I slipped into a halter top and a pair of trainers.

"Draco!" I said. "Why must you wear long sleeves?"

"Because I don't think your aunt and cousin would appreciate my Dark Mark like you do, Hannah." Draco told me, kissing me briefly. "It's much better if they didn't find out until after the wedding."

I rolled my eyes. "Yes, honey." I said before grabbing Draco's upper arm and dragging him down to Hogsmeade.

We found my Aunt Petunia and cousin Dudley in the Hogs Head Pub, where Aberforth Dumbledore was arguing with some reporters.

"NO! Neither the bride or the groom are staying here tonight!" he growled.

I smirked and locked eyes with my bony aunt. "Aunt Petunia!" I said.

"Hannah, darling!" Aunt Petunia threw her arms around me and squished me against her chest.

I grinned and turned to Dudley.

"Dudley!" I threw my arms around Dudley.

"Hey." Dudley ruffled my hair. "Who'd've thought you'd be getting married before me?"

Draco put up his hand.

"Draco!" I hissed, casting him a scathing look.

"Sorry." Draco shut up.

"Aunt Petunia, this is Draco, my fiancé who doesn't know how to shut up." I introduced, gesturing to who was going to be my husband in mere hours.

"Pleasure." Aunt Petunia said.

Draco and Aunt Petunia shook hands as the door opened again.

"God damn it!" I heard Miss T shout. "Traffic was terrible. Station was chalk full of Muggles, as always. Oi! Ms Evans, is that your niece I see? I wanna run through her wedding ceremony with her."

"Miss T!" I shouted, getting up and throwing my arms around her. "You made it!"

"Hey, I promised I'd be the one to marry you off to who your brother called 'That ferret faced git!' And I'm gonna be the one to honour that promise!" Miss T grinned and hugged me tightly.

"Remind me to kill Potter after the wedding." Draco told me.

I looked up at him with sad eyes. "You don't mean that…do you, Dracy?" I asked, letting a fake tear roll down my cheek.

Draco's face softened and he kissed the tear I rolled down my cheek away. "Of course not, love. Although you could possibly win an Academy Award for Best Actress."

I beamed and Dudley looked impressed.

"Han, that was some of the best acting I've ever seen!" Dudley told me.

I grinned as Dudley clapped me around the back. "So, where's this magic-fest moment gonna happen?" Dudley asked.

I looked to Draco and couldn't help but smirk to myself. "Follow me." I said, grabbing Dudley's arm in one hand, Aunt Petunia's arm in the other and dragging them off towards the Lake.

Hagrid and the professors were working diligently to get the altar set up.

"Be careful with that!" Draco shouted to Flitwick who was lifting the altar in the air with his wand. "It's extremely fragile!"

"What's it made of, porcelain?" Dudley joked.

"No, black marble. Even rarer and harder to get." Draco told him with a smirk.

"Draco, please don't boast!" I said desperately.

"Relax, love, I was just saying." Draco assured me. "Took me two months to get it carved by those bloody French."

"France!?" I said. "Draco, how much did you spend on this wed -?" I started.

Draco kissed me. "Hannah, relax. I'm not going to go broke from the wedding." Draco assured me again, rubbing my shoulders. "I told you, leave everything to me."

I took a deep breath and sighed.

"Just trust me." Draco whispered.

I grinned. "Alright, alright." I muttered.

"What's coming first?" Dudley asked me. "The rehearsal or your graduation?" Dudley asked.

"Graduation." Draco and I said together. "We're having the rehearsal later in the night because afterwards we're going to have our bachelor and bachelorette parties." I explained. "That and it would be rather redundant if we had the rehearsal and then saw each other at graduation."

"Why would that be redundant?" Draco asked.

I looked at him. "Because, Draco, it's bad luck to see each other before we meet at the altar. Skinner, I swore I just explained this to you." I sighed.

"That's a valid point, Hannah." Aunt Petunia said as I looked across the Black Lake.

It looked blue and perfect, completely unlike when Zimmerman threw me in that January. Chairs were placed neatly down to the edge of the Forbidden Forest both sides, having the aisle in the middle.

The altar was set up in front of the lake, an archway overtop it covered in roses. My stomach turned in summersaults at the thought of standing underneath it in twenty four hours' time.

Aunt Petunia and Dudley went back to the Inn, leaving Draco and I alone.

I grinned, straightening myself. "Hard to believe this is our last real day of Hogwarts." I said.

"Yeah." Draco told me, wrapping an arm around me. "Seems like just yesterday we were crossing that Lake to get into the castle."

I grinned. "Me nearly falling out of it at the sight of the castle." I laughed.

"Me pulling you back in." Draco grinned as I relived the memory.

Flashback

It was our first ever night at Hogwarts and Draco and I were talking up a storm, unable to pay attention to anything until I heard Drosie and O'Neil go "WOW!"

I whipped to face the front and caught my first ever glimpse of Hogwarts castle.

The lights were on, as if they were welcoming me home.

I leaned forward in the boat, ignoring Drosie and O'Neil giggling at me to get a closer look at the school before I lost my footing and got my hair wet.

Draco grabbed me before I got my robes wet and pulled me back. "Careful now." Draco told me. "These boats are known to be rather tipsy."

I blushed almost a fiery red, my hair suddenly instantly drying.

"Hey, you're hair's dry." Draco told me as I pulled it back.

"It is?" I asked shocked, running my hands through it. It was as dry as a bone. "Whoa…" I said. "That's really weird."

Draco shrugged. "Must be more uncontrollable magic. don't worry, that'll get fixed once we start classes."

I grinned and sat back down.

The time had come. The night had arrived. I was graduating from Hogwarts that night.

Ginny and Luna were doing my hair for that night, waving it as I got into my black gown.

It was only to wear for the processional. After that we'd shed off the robe to reveal our wizard robes underneath. Mine (traditionally, as McGonagall told us) were Slytherin green, as everyone else in Slytherin House's would be.

"Speech?" Ginny asked me.

I patted the hidden pocket of my robes. "I have it." I said.

The Heads from each House were obligated to stand and make a speech representing our House and the student body. Somehow, the Professors also picked a Head to speak on behalf of the Heads, who had to write another speech in case they were picked.

Draco and I had written one speech and divided it up between us to save parchment.

Ginny started to work on my makeup (waterproof in case I started to cry during the speech.) as Luna tucked a small bundle of leaves into my hair.

"To ward off the Nargles." Luna told me. "You're starting to get your brother's infestation."

I laughed and hugged She-Cat's best friend, wishing that she was there.

"She-Cat wanted me to give you this on your graduation night." Luna said, handing me a small box. "In case she…you know."

I took the box and opened it, almost instantly starting to cry.

Inside was the collar She-Cat wore when in cat form to get into mine and Ivy's dormitory.

I blinked the tears down my cheeks and wiped them as I snapped the collar onto my wrist. "Well, this is it." I said, standing up. "After tonight, I'll no longer be a Hogwarts student."

"Good luck, Hannah." Ginny told me, patting my backside. "Go on. You have to go."

I nodded and started to head out to the Entrance Hall to find Draco.

"Hey!" I called when I found him, waving through a band of Hufflepuffs that were considerably taller than I was (I was short to begin with.) "DRACO!" I called.

"Han?" Draco called out. "I can hear you, but I can't see you!"

"I'M IN WITH THE HUFFLEPUFFS!" I shouted. "I'M STUCK!"

Instantly, Draco found me and picked me up. "I thought even in heels you'd be at least somewhat visible, love." Draco told me, setting me down.

I rolled my eyes as McGonagall entered, wearing black robes herself.

"Ms Potter, thank Goodness we found you. We must ask a very important question." she told me.

I nodded. "What's up, Professor?" I asked.

"You see, with yours and Mr Malfoy's nuptials being tomorrow, we need to know, do you wished to be called upon as a Malfoy, or as a Potter?"

"Skinner." I muttered, starting to think.

On one hand, I was legally still a Potter in the Ministry's eyes. But on the other hand, nothing would please Draco more than to have me be called Hannah Malfoy.

I was still legally unmarried…but that was going to change after that night. The day after that was my wedding day. I was literally at the threshold from being called "Ms Potter" to being called "Mrs Malfoy."

"Why don't you put her after her brother?" Draco suggested to McGonagall. "She's not legally my wife yet, anyways."

McGonagall nodded and went into the Great Hall.

I took a deep breath. "Well, this is it." I said, biting my lip.

"The night everything changes forever." Draco agreed.

"Yeah." I said before taking my last chance to tell Draco this before we graduated. "I love you, Draco."

Draco just grinned and kissed my forehead. "I love you, too, Hannah."

The doors opened and the seventh years all went down into the Great Hall, which was now stacked with chairs.

"Alphabetical order to your houses, please!" McGonagall told us.

I sighed as Pansy grabbed my arm and dragged me off with her to sit us with Rose.

"Oh, relax, you'll get to hang out with him before you have to split up for your last night as single people." Pansy told me before setting me in between her and Rose, Draco next to Pansy, Blaise sat next to Rose, fiddling with his wedding band as McGonagall started to speak.

"Good evening, ladies and gentleman. Parents, guardians, friends and siblings. Tonight is a special night for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Our first Commencement after the war ended forever. You, the seventh years, should be very proud. You are the first class of Hogwarts students to graduate after the Dark Lord was defeated for good."

Rose and Pansy clapped me across the back and Draco bent down over Pansy to kiss my forehead.

"This term, as you no doubt were aware of, there were eight Head Boys and Girls to lead the students, a young man and a young woman from each house to promote the inter-house unity that will keep another war like the one we escaped from happening again. It is now my honour to introduce the Gryffindor Head Boy and Girl, Hermione Jean Granger and Harry James Potter."

Everyone applauded as Mione and Harry stepped up to the stage.

"DON'T CHOKE, POTTER!" Draco heckled.

"Draco!" I hissed. "ROCK IT, HARRY!" I cheered.

Harry grinned towards me and sneered at Draco before standing next to Hermione to make their speech.

"It's hard to believe it's been seven years since we first set foot in this place." Harry said.

"With Harry and I both being raised by Muggles, we never knew about magic until we got the acceptance letter." Hermione added.

"And since then, we've found ourselves on as many adventures that we could have never had if we had stayed Muggle like we were." Harry nodded with a grin.

"Our lives changed forever when we were Sorted into Gryffindor." Hermione sighed.

"Yeah, my sister was put in the rival house." Harry looked to me as the Slytherins around me whooped it up, Crabbe and Goyle reaching over to pat me over the back along with Blaise.

They immediately retracted their hands when Draco glared at the three of them.

"You are married!" Draco growled to Blaise. "And you two have girlfriends! Stay off my wife!"

Pansy and Rose giggled as I went pink.

I barely heard the rest of the speeches (thankfully Narcissa had showed up to record the ceremony so I could look at it later.) until McGonagall came up after Ernie and Hannah finished making their speech.

"Now, there have been some speculation with our final house over the years. But over the last seven years, one special young lady has been able to make Slytherin house into the house that it should have been before Salazar Slytherin left. This Slytherin was able to make peace with the other houses and is an impediment of inter-house unity. Her and Slytherin's Head Boy together created an academic, emotional and especially romantic connection that couldn't be severed through any discrimination, hatred, and terror that went through them both. Now they are going to commit to their love tomorrow. Ladies and gentlemen, the Slytherin Head Boy and Girl, Draco Lucius Malfoy, and his bride to be, Hannah Lillian Isabella Marie Potter."

I stood up as the Slytherins applauded and cheered. Draco hopped up to the stage and took his black robe off, helping me up and taking mine off.

"Thanks." I said with a grin, looking out into the audience. Finding Blaise's family and his little sister Cadence, Ivy's dad and grandma, Mr and Mrs Weasley and Narcissa with Mel, holding a Muggle video camera.

"Thanks." Draco smirked at me. "I agree with Potter and Granger…I mean Harry and Hermione…" Draco corrected himself when I glared at him. "when they said that it was hard to believe that seven years ago we were just finishing our first year here."

"And now we're here." I said with a laugh. "We're supposed to talk about what Slytherin house means to us…so, I'll just let Draco go first."

Draco smirked and kissed my forehead before starting. "To me, being in Slytherin when I was younger was the most important thing in the world. Like most of my fellow housemates, all my family's been in Slytherin. I wanted to turn out like my father. But I didn't know what being like my father would entail. When the Dark Lord rose again and Marked me…" Draco lifted up his robe sleeve to reveal the Dark Mark. "I knew it wasn't the path I wanted. I didn't want the path at all. I didn't want the path from the moment my father met who will now be my bride."

I blushed. "To me, I didn't know what it was to be a Slytherin until I was Sorted. Hell, I didn't even know that Slytherin was a word until Draco said it when we first met in Madam Malkin's over summer before first year. didn't know what it meant until my matron of honour told me it was a house here." I laughed. "Unlike anyone in the house, most of my family wasn't Slytherin at all. In fact…most of my family were Gryffindor. I still don't know what the Sorting Hat saw in me to put me in Slytherin. I may never know. But I was glad it did. Because I was able to make it from this evil, universally hated house, to a house that could be depended on in the darkest hour."

"So, over the last seven years, we wound up breaking the status quo." Draco added. "Being a Slytherin no longer meant being evil, even being a bully…although I hate to say I was one, and I apologize to everyone I mocked because of their economic position," Draco looked to the Ron "academic performance," he looked at Neville. "or their bloodline." Draco looked to Hermione. "To quote Charles Dickens from A Christmas Carol 'I am not the man I was.' I am also not the man my father is. An abusive, egotistical, lust driven, pedophilic, pure blood supremacist. I also apologize for my father, even though he is beyond hope. Being a Slytherin means more to me now than it did when I was first Sorted. It doesn't matter if you're pureblood, half-blood or Muggleborn…we're all human, we're all the same. We bleed the same as any other man or woman. If my father and the Dark Lord had his way I'd be engaged to marry a pure blooded Death Eater's daughter and the one I truly loved would be dead. Now nothing makes me happier knowing that tomorrow evening, I'll be marrying that woman I truly love."

I grinned and reached up to kiss him as the room burst into applause.

Draco helped me down and we went back to our seats.

"Thank you, Mr Malfoy and Ms Potter." McGonagall said, wiping her eyes. "Now, we have decided that this term there would be something different, like with the multiple Heads. We decided to nominate a Speaker for the Heads…a valedictorian, if you will…this young person was able to do more in their seven years at Hogwarts than anyone who attended this school put together."

Draco, Harry, Ernie and Jason all smirked.

"This wonderful young lady," McGonagall enunciated the word 'lady' "is one of the brightest witches of her generation. She achieved Os in her NEWT exams and has been granted a full scholarship to the Ministry's Auror training program in autumn a year after she graduated here. This woman has a wonderful future laid out for her in both career and family…Ladies and Gentleman, this term's valedictorian is none other than the Saviour of the Wizard World…the vanquisher of Voldemort…" the room paused to shudder. "and is better known as Harley Quinn. This young lady will also be receiving an Award for Special Services to the School. Ladies and Gentleman…Ms Hannah Potter!"

Pansy and Rose screamed and threw their arms around me as I sat shock still, almost in tears.

"Girls, let her go!" Draco said, pulling me away from them, giving me a quick kiss and giving me a gentle push. "Go on, get up there!"

I swallowed and stood, making my way to the stage as Ivy squealed. "That's my best friend!"

I grinned up at McGonagall. "Um, Draco! I require your services!" I said after trying to get on stage. "Never mind!" I said, raising myself up onto the stage (I loved having Necromancy!) and walking across.

McGonagall grinned at me as I took my speech out and turned to look at everyone.

"Wow…" I admitted, still wrapping my head around what just happened. "wow…I can't believe it." I laughed. "An award and valedictorian? What an honour."

Everyone laughed.

"Alright, I guess I'll start with another boring speech." I laughed before clearing my throat, becoming serious. "Hogwarts is more than just an ancient castle built thousands of years ago. It's more than just turrets, corridors, tapestries, dungeons and a Room of Requirement." I started. "To some, Hogwarts was more than just a place to rebel against their parents, have a taste of freedom and be able to parade around brandishing a stick like some crazy baboon and making crap blow up. Seamus, I'm looking at you." I looked to Seamus Finnegan, who instantly blushed. "To some, Hogwarts was a place to learn how to be a wizard, not a baboon brandishing a stick, again, Seamus." I looked to Seamus and everyone started to laugh. "How to cast spells without blowing things up…I won't name names…" I coughed into the microphone "SEAMUS!"

Everyone laughed harder.

"Or how to fly on a broom without hovering for a moment and breaking these wonderful grounds with your fat, empty head…Crabbe!"

Everyone laughed even harder as Crabbe glared at me.

"Hogwarts was home to many people. A getaway from stressful times, like with me and Harry. To get away from a tyrannical parent…Draco…"

Draco smirked and nodded.

"Hogwarts was a place to break away from what we knew before and started a new life. Where we met a Gryffindor that almost put my groom-to-be in the hospital wing on our first go on a broom…Ivy." I glared playfully at Ivy who grinned back sheepishly. "Where we could find a Hufflepuff that wasn't a complete duffer and could almost pass for Slytherin…Ernie."

The Hufflepuffs laughed and Ernie went pink.

"Where a Ravenclaw would be able to start fights with books and get put into detention because her friends ratted on her…Sheila." I looked to Sheila, who instantly burst into giggles with everyone else.

"Or where a Slytherin would be able to write a bad ass song proclaiming his love for another girl and have the Gryffindor courage to play it in front of the entire house with his girlfriend watching…" I grinned at Draco.

"Hogwarts was like home. Our houses were like our family. And family sticks together. When our backs were against the wall when the Battle of Hogwarts started, my family didn't run away. No. They stayed and helped fight. And for that, I'll be forever grateful.

Granted, I had some good days and I had some bad days here. But being here was an experience I could never forget. And I'm so thankful that Hagrid came and bailed me out of that Muggle hellhole, no offence intended, Aunt Petunia and Dudley. Because if it wasn't for this place, I would have never met all the friends that I have now. I would have never met who is going to be my husband. I probably would have been beaten to death. So I want to thank the professors for teaching me exactly where I belonged in this world. I want to thank the class I had for being so amazing, and I want to thank my house for not giving up on me when my back was against the wall. You guys really are amazing. I'm so glad I wound up coming here, otherwise I'd probably be bored in France. So, that's all I have to say. You guys are sick of me talking already." I grinned. "So thank you, and God bless."

Everyone instantly started to cheer and applaud as McGonagall handed me the plaque with my Award for Special Services to the School.

I grinned as Narcissa, Harry, Aunt Petunia and Mrs Weasley took pictures.

I took my plaque and ran off the stage, almost tripping over my robes and going back to my seat, knowing I was bright pink.

Draco kissed my forehead as McGonagall told us all to stand up.

"Alphabetical order overall, please!"

I ran to meet up with my brother, standing next to him as my friends split up to stand in order of last name.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the graduating class of 2013." McGonagall announced. "Hannah Abbott!"

"Sheila Alexander!"

"Draco Malfoy!"

Draco hopped up and shook McGonagall's hand.

"Mr Malfoy will also be receiving an Award for Special Services to the School in his role in the coven of Ms Harley Quinn." McGonagall announced.

Draco held onto his plaque and gave a not-so-Malfoy-ish smile as Narcissa recorded him walking across the stage. Draco leaned against the wall next to McGonagall, oddly expectant.

"Pansy Parkinson!"

Pansy walked up and smirked as she took her diploma, hopping back down again after she got her picture taken.

"Padma and Parvati Patil!"

The Patil twins hopped up and took it in turns to take their diplomas.

"Sally-Anne Perks!"

Sally-Anne took her time before sitting with her fellow Hufflepuffs.

"Harry Potter!"

I gave my brother a shove as he hopped up to claim what was rightfully his. His Hogwarts diploma.

"Hannah Potter…excuse me. Hannah Malfoy!"

I hopped up excitedly, taking my diploma and shaking McGonagall's hand.

"Good luck, Ms Potter…or should I say Mrs Malfoy?" McGonagall grinned.

I beamed and started off the stage when I felt Draco grab my arm.

"Not so fast." Draco smirked before dipping me down and kissing me, giving my ass a gentle squeeze.

"Mr Malfoy, that is not appropriate!" I scolded against his lips.

"I'll do to my wife whatever the fuck I please!" Draco said, holding my arm up and helping me off the stage.

I giggled. "I'm not your wife yet, genius."

"Close enough." Draco told me.

I rolled my eyes. "My husband's screwed up." I muttered.

"AH!" Draco smirked triumphantly. "I heard that!"

"Yeah, yeah." I said with a smirk that said 'Fuck me, did I just say that?'

Draco grinned as McGonagall called Blaise up for his diploma.

Blaise smirked at Draco when he came down with diploma and plaque with Award for Special Services to the school (as everyone in my coven got.) as Ivy got her award and diploma.

"Dude, I'm amazing!" Draco told him.

"Don't tell me, Hannah called you her husband?" Ivy asked sarcastically.

"Yes!" Draco smirked with a grin. "After all this time of engagement she's finally got it out!"

"Funny…funny…you aren't even married yet!" Ivy said with the same amount of excitement as Draco, only with a sarcastic tone.

"Thanks, Duff, way to kill the mood." Draco told her.

"ZABINI!" Blaise and Ivy shouted together.

"I don't want you to go." I said that night in Draco's dorm.

"I don't need to leave, I can stay." Draco whispered.

I sighed, cuddling into his bare chest. The wedding rehearsal just finished and everyone was getting ready for either the bachelor and bachelorette party for me and Draco. I didn't want Draco to go yet.

Draco kissed me quick and smirked down at me with an almost triumphant gleam in his eyes. I still couldn't grasp the concept of him looking at me like I was the prize rather than the too-lucky-for-her-own-good winner.

"Definitely sticking around." Draco murmured.

"No, Draco, it's your bachelor party, you need to go." I said, although I couldn't help but hang onto him tighter, even though my rationality told me to let him go.

Draco laughed. "Hannah, love, bachelor parties are strictly reserved for those depressed to see the passing of their single days. I'd much rather have fast forwarded to that night at the Yule Ball and skipped the fifth year fiasco…and go right to sixth year, the war and this past year."

I grinned. That was a mutual feeling.

"Cold feet?" Draco asked me.

"Absolutely not." I said with a smirk. "Perfectly warm, albeit nervous."

"Really? No second thoughts, it's still not too late to change your mind." Draco told me.

"Are you trying to ditch me?" I asked, trying not to hope he wasn't.

"Never." Draco grinned. "I'm just double checking."

I grinned and cuddled into him.

Draco started to absent-mindedly rub circles around my lower stomach, where the (slowly healing) pentagram scar sat.

"What?" I asked, looking up at Draco.

Draco took a minute before looking at me. "I know this is an unpleasant and sensitive topic…but when my father…you know…"

I shuddered.

"Did he…did he use protection?"

I paled as it started coming back to me, every painful moment of the events of when Lucius Malfoy raped me. "N-No…" I stammered.

I almost started to cry before almost sighing in relief. I had just finished my period two days before the wedding rehearsal.

I actually almost started to laugh. "But I think we're safe from me being pregnant." I said. "I just finished my period."

Draco almost sighed in relief. "Good." he muttered.

"But what if I wound up getting pregnant with your half-brother?" I asked, voice now shaking at the way Draco had said "Good."

Draco cupped my face and rubbed my cheek. "You're my wife. You were raped. It wouldn't be the baby's fault that his father was a rapist and a pedophile. If you were pregnant with his child…keep it…and I'll raise that kid like it was my own. But I swear to god, if any other man touches you again, I'll slaughter every one of them. You're mine, Hannah Potter, mine. You'll always be mine. Tomorrow I make you mine forever, and nobody touches what's mine."

I sighed in relief. "Draco, relax. Stop worrying about everything or I'll get Blaise. Maybe you need a bachelor party."

"I'm sorry. I was worrying. Must be the nerves."

"Are you getting cold feet, Mr Malfoy?" I asked teasingly.

"Please." Draco scoffed. "I've been waiting ten years to see you again, four years to get you and overall nineteen years to marry you, Ms Potter. This wedding is one thing I can't…" Draco cut himself off with a groan as the door in the common room opened. "FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING JEFF SKINNER, BEN FANELLI AND RADEK FAKSA!"

I squealed and giggled. "What's up?" I asked.

"You don't need to call Blaise." Draco huffed. "He's not going to let me bow out tonight."

"HANNAH LILLIAN ISABELLA MARIE POTTER IF YOU DON'T LET YOUR FIANCE DOWN NOW WE'RE COMING IN AFTER HIM!" Blaise shouted as we heard thuds on the door.

I sighed. "Go." I told Draco. "Before they destroy the castle."

Draco huffed and got a clean shirt on as Ivy and Rose burst in through the side door and grabbed me.

"Come on, princess, it's time for your night." Ivy said, dragging me out of the room.

"Hey, hey!" I shouted. "Can you at least let me say goodbye?" I asked her.

"Ok, ok, make it fast, Drosie's not gonna wait forever with the bus, you know." Ivy huffed.

I ran and threw my arms around Draco, kissing him quickly.

"Hannah, go, otherwise Blaise may just murder you to get me out of here." Draco laughed. "I'll see you at the altar."

"I'll be the one in white." I laughed, quoting Twilight.

Draco just rolled his eyes. "Subtle reference, love." he said with a laugh before opening the door. "Holy fuck, Blaise, keep it the fuck in your pants, I'm coming!"

Ivy grabbed my arm. "Come on, there's this new club we want to go to." Ivy said, dragging me out of the common room, shortly before Blaise dragged Draco out.

I cast one last look to Draco and grinned before being dragged off to Hogsmeade.

"COME ON!" Ivy shouted into the Slytherin dungeons. "TIME WAITS FOR NO BRIDE!"

Pansy, Monique, Lexi, Millicent, Astoria, Daphne, Kairi, Amelia, Willow, Faith and Georgina came running as Rose dragged me down into Hogsmeade to Apparate to that club Ivy was talking about.

"Ok, Han, we have an idea to pay for drinks, but Malfoy will kill us all." Ivy said, hiding something behind her back.

"Suck for a Buck!" Rose giggled, holding out a white shirt with hundreds of Life Savers attached to it.

"A man pays a Galleon for the chance to suck a candy off of the Girl Who Lived!" Pansy giggled. "Your last opportunity to let a man put his mouth on you before you become a Malfoy…what do you say?"

I blushed. I wasn't exactly a virgin anymore (although that night I would take another Virginity Restoring Draught…Draco lost his last chance and I wanted to give it to him.), but I belonged to Draco…I was Draco Malfoy's bride…and Draco was one of the most possessive men I knew.

"Fuck it." I muttered, taking the shirt and pulling it on. "Happy?"

"As clams!" Rose giggled before dragging me into the club.

Instantly, I got wizarding men staring at me (mercifully, they were close to my age, twenty one or twenty two.).

"Hey, I'll take a suck." one of the men said, brandishing a Galleon in the air.

I blushed as Ivy took it. "Take your pick." Rose gestured to me.

I went pale when I felt the wizard grab a candy at my breast and sucked it off.

The girls giggled as the wizard left with a candy in his teeth.

"Come on, Han, let's dance." Rose dragged me to the dance floor.

"Come on, Hannah, this is your last night as a free woman!" Ivy said, shaking my shoulders and putting a shot in my hand.

"Yeah, tonight may be your last chance at having fun with your friends." Sheila added, giggling as Fireball hopped up onto my shoulders.

"You have the ring, right?" I asked Ivy.

"Of course." Ivy said. "I was at the rehearsal. I hand the ring to Rose, who in turn hands it to you to put on Malfoy."

I sighed in relief and hugged my girls before downing the shot. "Come on, let's have some fun before the wedding." I said, dragging Rose and Ivy onto the dance floor.

"Ok, ok, let's play I Never…" Rose said, sitting us all at a booth and grabbing vodka and Firewhiskey. "Here's how it works. We go around the table and take turns saying something that we never did. If anyone had done what the girl said that they never did, they down a shot. Easy?"

"Easy." we all said together.

"Ok, bride first." Rose looked at me.

I blushed and thought. "Ok…I never…" I muttered. "I never played with myself outside the shower."

Pansy, Lexi, Drosie and Monique drank.

"YOU!?" I laughed, looking to Pansy. "Where else did you do it?"

"It's called the bed with Silencing Charms." Pansy grinned. "That and I snuck off during Potions second year to have a wank."

"You satisfied yourself over my groom?" I almost shrieked.

"Of course." Pansy grinned. "He's gorgeous, Han. Don't you try to pull the 'I never wanked over someone who I wasn't dating.' look. I heard you in the shower third year."

I paled. "Oh, God."

"That's what you said!" Rose giggled.

"Shut up, Rose. It's your turn anyways." I said, dropping the wanking subject.

"Ok, ok…" Rose giggled. "I have never had actual sex."

Me, Pansy, Ivy and Drosie drank.

"You?" I asked Drosie. "Dean Thomas?" I asked.

"You know it, Malfoy." Drosie grinned.

I laughed. "Your turn, Drosie." I smirked.

Drosie grinned. "I have never let a man save my life."

Ivy and I did a shot.

"You let Blaise save you?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Obviously. Remember when we went to Godric's Hollow after we went to the Malfoy party? Blaise saved me from barging into the house and breaking the Fidelius Charm." Ivy explained. "No explanation for you. Anyways, I'm next. I have never…gone behind my lover's back."

Pansy and I downed a shot, me somewhat reluctantly.

"Yeah…when I was sleeping with Draco fifth year, I was also shagging Crabbe on the side." Pansy admitted.

"I thought it was just the one time!" I shouted.

"Scarlett Imperioused him every time." Pansy told me. "I've never had my heart stop."

I downed a shot.

"Me next!" Monique grinned. "I have never murdered anyone."

Me, Ivy, Raven Onark, Sheila, and Hermione downed a shot. After all, everyone in the Vendetta e Vittoria Coven had killed at least one Snake Faced Little Shit.

"Me next!" Raven stated. "I have never been to Paris."

Hermione, Ivy and Ginny downed a shot.

"Went with Mione last summer." Ginny grinned. "By the way, it's my call. I have never dated, kissed, slept with or was at all romantically involved with Draco Lucius Malfoy."

Me, Pansy, Rose, Millicent, Monique, Lexi McMaster, Amelia Finch, the Greengrasses and Kairi downed a shot and Hermione was hesitant.

"Do crushes count as romantic involvement?" she asked.

I shook my head, eyes wide.

"Don't look at me like that, Hannah, Pansy's right, Malfoy's bloody gorgeous!" Hermione almost swooned. "Don't tell Ron."

I zipped my lips and threw away the key. "What happens in London, stays in London." I promised. "You next, Watson."

"Alright…I have never turned in homework late."

Pansy downed a shot.

"You're gonna get drunk tonight." I told Pansy.

"Oh, shut up." Pansy snapped as Kairi piped up.

"I have never mouthed off to an elder."

Me and Hermione downed a shot. "Mouthed off to Bellatrix Lestrange and Lucius Malfoy." we said together.

"I have never killed a Dark Wizard." Raven stated.

I rolled my eyes and downed a shot before we went back around the cycle.

The girls and I went back to Hogwarts as Harry rented out Grimmauld Place for the men (and Mel.) late that night.

The girls slept in the common room as I slept up in Draco's dorm after downing a Sobriety Draught.

My last night in Hogwarts. My last night as Hannah Lillian Isabella Marie Potter. This time tomorrow night…I'd be Hannah Malfoy.

I sighed. The very thought of finally becoming Draco's and Draco's alone was enough to relax me from the wedding nerves.

I held onto Alejandro tightly, looking around the dorm, looking to forever emblazon it into my memory as the last room I slept in before I got married, the last room I slept in at Hogwarts before I left forever…unless my Auror career went belly-up and I decided to come back as a professor…maybe Potions or Defence Against the Dark Arts…maybe the latter. I could see Draco being the previous.

And who knew? Maybe I'd be teaching my own kids. A son that would look exactly like Draco with no trace of me.

I sighed again, letting my eyes close and fall asleep for the last time as a Potter.

Draco POV

I huffed when I was finally able to go to bed.

I laid in Regulus Black's bed, staring up at the ceiling with a smirk.

That night was my last of having to sleep alone. The night after, I'd be able to have Hannah in my arms…this time never having to say goodbye again. I'd have her forever.

The very thought brought a smile to my lips as the door opened.

"Dracy?"

I looked up. It was Mel.

"Hey, Mel Bell, what's up?" I asked her.

"C-Can I sleep with you tonight?" Mel asked in a whisper.

I smiled at her. "Sure, Mel, come here." I moved over and lifted up the blanket.

Mel beamed and ran in the spot next to me, cuddling into my side.

I grinned at my little sister.

"I don't want you to get married." Mel told me.

I looked at her and raised my eyebrows. "And why not?" I asked.

"Because I don't want to lose you." Mel muttered, looking at me with glassy, tear filled eyes.

I grinned at her. "Mel, you won't lose me." I assured her, playing with her hair and kissing her temple.

"I lost you when I was born." Mel muttered.

"That was not stoppable. Remember, we all thought you were stillborn. I was heartbroken when I found out." I assured her. "And besides, you won't ever lose me. You'll be gaining a sister, maybe nieces and nephews."

Mel looked at me. "But I want you." she told me.

"I know, Mel." I told her. "But you can always come and visit when you're not in school. There's always room at the Manor for you."

Mel sniffed. "You…promise?" Mel asked.

I grinned and kissed her forehead. "Malfoy's Honour." I promised, crossing my heart and holding up my left hand before grabbing the box. "This is for you." I said, handing her the box.

Mel took it and opened the box, revealing the small heart shaped locket.

"Open that, too." I told her.

Mel opened the locket and found a picture that Hannah had taken of me cuddling Mel.

Mel beamed at me and cuddled into me as I slipped it on her.

She looked at me and smiled widely, eyes half closed. "Thank you." she whispered.

I grinned. "You're welcome." I told her.

She started to fall asleep. "I love you." she muttered before she fell asleep.

I grinned. "I love you, too, Mel." I said before letting myself fall asleep as well.
