Hello Everyone,
I know this is probably too short after the last chapter I left you, but with everything from work to covid, I finally found the energy to write ... something. It is small, but it is an ending. This was never meant to be an epic, long, story, but I owed it to the characters, and you guys to end it, and not leave it hanging. Thanks for being patient and I hope you are satisfied with this last chapter. This is the only open story I have left and my will to continue is far less than my actual ability to write. LOL So, I will close this story and wait patiently for inspiration to hit, and hope for an epic. Thanks for understanding and being wonderful supporters of this little story.
See You Soon,
Snow
As with all moments, the gentleness of Narcissa and Fleur's shared space that first night as they slipped into Fleur's bed, set a framework for the two lovers. Days slipped into weeks, and weeks into months. Every day brought smiles to the lips of not only Narcissa and Fleur's lips, but to Hermione and Luna's. Letters flowed like wine at a Bacchanalia between Narcissa and Fleur and the ties and foundation those words build transformed into a framework for a glorious home where hearts dwelled and grew strong.
One day, on a mild summer morning, a blue-eyed blond waited in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. She looked up to the Headmistress who looked down on her with a warm smile. She looked out over the crowd and saw a sea of faces. Some she knew and some she didn't, but she was thankful for their love and support. She looked back to the Headmistress and then to her right and smiled at her father. He was the only one who could perform this rite to complete this ceremony.
"Before we do this, I wanted to thank you for allowing us to use of the Great Hall."
"Of course. It is my pleasure," Minerva said with a soft smile. There was a creak as the doors opened and everyone's attention flew to the back of the hall. When she watched the keeper of her heart, the woman who bonded to her soul, walk toward her. She could feel her love flow out toward her betrothed, linking them, tying their souls together in a dance.
Two other women in the crowd sat watching, hands linked, soft smiles graced their lips.
"Did you see that?"
"Yes, and her smile is gorgeous. As her love was accepted the light in the room became brighter."
"What do you feel about standing up there like that?"
Blue eyes blinked as they were pulled from the lovely scene focusing of beauty personified.
"Are you proposing?"
"Yes, I believe I am. Fleur, would you think of standing before everyone we know, and tie your life to mine?" Narcissa whispered as she looked into Fleur's brilliantly soft eyes.
"Yes," Fleur smiled, kissed Narcissa's hand and then cleared her throat and looked forward, "That will be us one day Cheri," Fleur whispered with a bright smile.
"One day, my love," Narcissa confirmed placing her free hand over Fleur's that had already claimed her hand.
Fleur looked to Narcissa, and then applause and cheers rang through the hall. Their eyes flew forward as Bella walked behind Luna as her maid of honor, and Draco behind Hermione as her best man. Kingsley was in the back smiling brightly after Bella grabbed him and kissed him quick and hard. Everyone had their love; everyone had their lives.
Narcissa and Fleur found the other eyes as if by magic.
Everyone found their kindred spirit.
