"Harry? Harry!" Gregory whispered shaking the younger man in his arms gently. Harry grumbled and tucked himself into a tighter ball in Gregory's arms. "Harry,"

"Gregory? What?" Harry mumbled cracking one green open to glare at Gregory. The blonde man fought his smile back, Harry looked like an angry kitten, especially with his black hair falling around his face the face it was.

"Harry, you know I love you right?" Gregory asked slowly making Harry fully open his eyes.

"Yes," Harry said slowly rolling over to face Gregory.

"Sorry my brain has been taking over, I just wanted to say before tomorrow...I really and truly love you. I wish that I had had you in my life sooner, since I met you I have not been happier. You have made life so much brighter and given my future so much hope,"

"Where is this coming from?" Harry asked slightly concerned, wriggling an arm free of the covers to cup Gregory's cheek.

"I just needed to tell you, tomorrow is going to be mad, and we're not going to get much peace until night. I just need you to know how much I love you, and that I will spend the rest of our lives together loving you," Gregory moved forward to press their lips together.

Harry was still a little sleep heavy and a little foggy, and Gregory could taste that in their kiss, he pulled him closer and deepened the kiss, sliding his tongue into Harry's mouth when he opened his mouth in offering.

"I can't wait to marry you and have the rest of our lives together," Harry hummed when they parted. "But you need to sleep if you are going to look Malfoy fabulous tomorrow,"

"Malfoy fabulous?" Gregory snickered even as he allowed Harry to tug him back under the covers and crawled half over his lover's body to rest on top of him.

"Its what me and Neville call the whole thing you guys have going on, looking perfect and preened," Harry said tiredly pressing his nose into Gregory's neck.

"Malfoy fabulous. Wait till I tell Lucius," Gregory snickered.

"Marcus liked it," Harry mumbled already nodding off again.

"Of course he would," Gregory rolled his eyes hugging Harry a little closer as he felt sleep dragging him under.

"I love you," Harry muttered more asleep than awake. Gregory smiled contently to himself, allowing Harry's soft breaths to pull him under too.

"I'll see you in a few hours," Gregory grabbed Harry round the waist and pulling him in for a kiss.

"Love you, see you soon," Harry pulled him in for another kiss.

"Alright love birds break it up and get it moving!" Lucius rolled his eyes grabbing hold of Gregory and pulling him towards the door with Mikhail and Carina's help, while Hermione and Remus hustled Harry back into the bedroom.

"Love you!" Gregory called just as he was shoved out into the hallway.

"Alright, you in the shower, have a really good clean and here are the herbs," Hermione shoved the pouch into his hands and nudged him towards the bathroom.

"I feel sickly," Harry groaned.

"Its just the thought of standing in front of people," Andromeda smiled kissing his cheek.

"Its just nerves," Remus nodded smiling.

"I will make you some tea and dry toast to eat after your shower," Tonks nudged his shoulder before hurrying into the kitchen with Teddy on her hip.

"Is everything ready? I feel like I have forgotten something!" Harry fretted even as they nudged him even closer to the bathroom.

"Hey, as long as you and Gregory are here and you have the rings nothing else matters," Ron smiled. "You have the rings right?"

"Yes I have the rings, they're there," Harry smiled a little. "I feel really stupid,"

"Its your wedding day, if you weren't nervous I would be worried!" Remus chuckled.

"I spent the morning of my wedding shaking so much I nearly spilt tea all over my wedding dress," Andromeda said fondly.

"I just can't believe we're doing this,"

"Its going to go perfectly, the day will be beautiful and at the end of it you will be married to the man you love," Neville said walking over and hugging him. "Now get your arse in the shower!"

"Alright alright, I'm going, before one of you try and get in with me!" Harry huffed amused turning and finally walking into the bathroom.

Harry brushed his hands down his wedding robes slightly reverently, sighing happily as he looked at them on the hanger one last time before he put them on. The shower and tea and toast had helped to settle his stomach. He was feeling a lot calmer and less panicked, though excitement was now coursing through him, especially as the sound of work going on outside their window to set things up for the wedding.

"Hey hunny," Andromeda stepped into the room and walked over to him, wrapping her arm around him as she too looked at his robes. "Are you ok?"

"Yes, it just feels a little surreal to think that tonight I will be married to Gregory," Harry smiled.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Much, you were right it was just a little burst of nerves,"

"It happens to everyone, I think if you are not a little nervous before you're wedding there is something wrong," Andromeda laughed. "You're going to look so handsome today,"

"Thank you for being here," Harry said softly turning to look at her.

"Its me that needs to thank you for letting me be a part of your life, for letting me be a part of this," Andromeda kissed his cheek. "Now I am going to open that door and let the wolves descend, we're going to get you ready for your wedding,"

"Harry? Could I have a quick word please?" Marcus popped his head into the rooms just as Harry was laughing with Ron and Hermione at the kitchen table. They were still in their dressing robes.

"Of course," Harry stood and followed Marcus out into the corridor and down to Gregory's library. The older man seated himself in one of the armchairs in the room and waited for Harry to sit himself on the love seat that he and Gregory had spent hours curled up together.

"Now Harry, I know you know that I am very fond of you. And I have already told you how much of an impact you have had coming into our lives. But I wanted to have a little chat before the wedding,"

"Is everything ok?" Harry asked a little concerned.

"Oh yes of course! Its nothing bad I promise. I just wanted to say, before the madness of the wedding where we won't get a moment in private...thank you. Thank you so much for everything that you have done for this family, you have managed to make everything a little brighter for us and a little better. I would say some twoddle about welcoming you to the family today, but you are already family, today is just making it official. Harry, I love Gregory, that boy has an honest heart and one of the lightest souls any Malfoy has possessed for a long time. And seeing him so happy and so in love, it means more than you will ever know. And Harry, I love you too. You are a kind and generous young man with more love in your little finger than most people have in their life. You have made my life...so much happier and so much fuller since you have come into it. You may not be my Grandson by blood, but by Merlin you are my Grandson, and I want you to know that I will go to the ends of the earth and back for you if you needed me," Marcus choked up a little wiping his eyes before chuckling a little embarrassed.

Harry however stood and moved across the space between them. He dropped to his knees and wrapped his arms around Marcus tightly, the older man hugging back just as fiercely.

"You have no idea how much it means to me to hear that, thank you...Granddad," Harry glanced up cautiously to see Marcus beaming at him.

"Come lets get you back so you can finish getting ready for the wedding, before Hermione hunts us down," Marcus snickered.

"How are you getting on?" Ron called through the door.

"I think I am done!" Harry called back. Hermione, Ron and Remus stepped inside. Tonks and Andromeda had gone to Narcissa to get dressed themselves for the wedding, and because Narcissa had wanted to see Teddy in the baby robes that she had bought for him specially.

"Oh wow," Remus grinned.

"Harry," Hermione sniffed hurrying forwards to throw her arms around Harry.

"You look beautiful!" He said hugging her back. Her purple robes were gorgeous and she looked totally stunning in it. "You're looking quite stunning yourself," he wriggled his eyebrows at Ron who actually blushed. Huffing he shoved Harry gently before clapping him on the shoulder.

"What about me?" Remus asked with a mock pout holding his arms out.

"Remi, talk about hot stuff, if I was a little older and you weren't like my uncle/father!" Harry whistled.

"I'm nearly the same age as Gregory!' Remus huffed making them all laugh. "Cheeky brats,"

"Its nearly time to head down," Hermione said softly.

"Ok," Harry nodded and stepped over to his dresser. He brushed his fingers over the flowers that Gregory had sent him at the start of their courting, well preserved with magic still and sitting in their bedroom, making both of them smile frequently. He picked up his necklace and put it on, he had worn it every day since Gregory had sent it to him. He tucked it into his robes, placing his hand over the necklace and closed his eyes thinking on everything that he and Gregory had been through since te older man had sent him the necklace and the flowers.

"Harry?" Remus touched his shoulder.

"Yes?"

"Your father wore this on his wedding day, I managed to get it back. He wanted to give it to you on your wedding day, he spoke about it after you were born, so I held onto it to pass it over at the right time," Remus held out the ornate wooden box to Harry before taking Hermione and Ron out the room.

Harry turned the box in his hands for a moment working up the courage to open the box, while fighting down the lump in his throat. clearing his throat he finally built himself up and flipped open the wooden box. The first thing that caught his eyes was the beautiful wizard's watch that was inside. Fuelled by magic it would tell you the time anywhere in the world that you asked it to, it would also show you coordinations to help with apparition, and could be transformed into a port key with damaging the magical properties of the watch, one of the few magical items that could have repeated port key magic cast upon it. It was a beautiful watch, golden, of course, with rubies in the hour marks, the hands were delicately carved pieces of gold, but when he looked closer he noticed both hands had lilies in the centre of them, and the point was the shape of a lily leaf. Feeling his eyes well up he noticed a carving on the inside of the boxes lid and tilted it to see it better.

To our darling son, James. We can't believe she finally said yes.

Laughing brightly at the slight insight more into his grandparents he slipped the watch from the box and closed it around his wrist. It hesitated for a second before the magic recognised him and re-sized to fit his wrist perfectly. Looking at himself once more in the mirror he smiled at the sight before nodding his head and turning to meet the others and head down to get married.

"Now there is a little something that we need to tell you before we go out there," Ron said with a serious face just as they entered the conservatory where they were to wait for their cue.

"Oh Merlin, what now?" Harry groaned having visions of invading reporters to Death Eaters.

"Nothing bad just hard headed Weasley boys," Hermione laughed.

"What do you mean?' Harry frowned in confusion.

"Never mind there is our cue, off you go," Remus nudged them as the white sparks lit up the sky.

"Remus? What's going on?" Harry asked as Hermione and Ron stepped out arm in arm to walk down the aisle. He couldn't see the area that they had set up for the wedding ceremony from here as the line of hedges blocked the view. The red carpet would lead the way through and into the marquee that had been set up ith heating charms to protect everyone from the winter weather. Snow was falling lazily outside, giving a peaceful, almost otherworldly feel to the day.

"Don't worry about it," Reus smiled holding out his arm for Harry to take. Narrowing his eyes at the same Harry sighed and relaxed realising that it wasn't going to be anything bad. He stepped up to Remus and slid his arm through the werewolf's taking in a deep breath. "Ok?" Remus smiled.

"More than," Harry grinned.

"Well then shall we?" Remus said and stepped forwards only to pause and turn when Harry didn't step with him.

"Remus, I'm glad you're here with me. I love you, you know that right?" Harry said softly.

"What brought that on?" Reus' eyes were bright and happy.

"It seems to be the day for it. I just wanted you to know, how much you mean to me," Harry said kissing his cheek.

"I love you too cub, now lets go and get you married," Remus hugged him briefly but tightly, before they rescued their position and stepped outside.

Gregory shuffled nervously in place, tugging on the lapels of his robes as he glanced over his shoulder towards where Harry would come from. Everyone was already seated and waiting in the rows that they had set up. The scent of roses was heavenly in the air.

In the end they had managed to win for their simple wedding. A white marquee was set up in the rose garden, it was made out of simple white lace that was beautiful still, they had chairs set up in four rows on either side of the aisle, white cushioned ones with silver bows on the back. Different flowers in shades of blue were twined around the marquee. And around the alter he was standing in front of white roses and blue ipheion were twined together along with ivy. Harry and he had stood here yesterday morning side by side and conjured the alter and the flowers to grow around it as was traditional, only their magic would be allowed in this area.

There was a quiet peace to the area even as magic hummed in the air in expectation of what was about to happen. It was set up exactly as they had wanted it, and he could not stop shuffling in excitement and nerves. Lucius and Mikhail were looking at him with barely hidden amusement as he gave another shuffle. He could hear his grandfather snickering openly behind him while his mother, Andromeda and Narcissa were nattering away excitedly.

The priest stepped up to the alter and smiled warmly at Gregory, he had performed the birth blessings for himself, Lucius, Mikhail, Marcus, Selene, Tiberius, Draco, Orlandus and Phoenix. He had been the one to marry Lucius and Narcissa, Marcus and Leander and Mikhail and Mikhail and Julia. Harry had agreed straight away when Gregory had told him of the priest and asked that he be the one to marry them. He was smiling at Gregory like a proud family member, which at this point he practically was. He looked at Gregory who nodded to show he was ready. Straight away white sparks lit up the sky singling to Harry and is party that they were ready to start.

He took one more breath before turning to look down the aisle. He could see out the corner of his eyes all of their friends and family turning to look as well. And then Ron and Hermione stepped into view, walking down the aisle together looking quite stunning themselves in their wedding robes, and complimenting each other nicely. Both of them grinned widely at him as they reached their spot and stepped to the side to wait for Harry, Ron giving him a small thumbs up which made him smile as well.

And then Harry stepped into view. He had never looked more stunning or gorgeous to Gregory's eyes as he did at that moment walking towards him, arm in arm with a proud and beaming Remus. But he had eyes for no one but Harry right at that moment. Their eyes met and held as Harry walked towards him, and everything for a moment seemed to stop. He was marrying the man that he was in love with, they were actually getting married. He had never expected to be standing here.

Remus touched his arm before taking Harry's hand and placing it inside his own. He gave a faint sniff as he kissed Harry's cheek before he moved back down the steps to go and stand next to Ron and Hermione. Harry squeezed his hand gently as they moved closer together, taking a moment just to look at each other and appreciate this moment, only then did they turn to the priest who was waiting patiently for them.

"We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Gregory and Harry, they have come here today willingly to embrace mother magic and to ask her blessing on this day to bond them together,"

Gregory tightened his hand around Harry's, not able to stop his smile from getting even wider.

"Gregory, do you promise to respect and care for Harry as long as you live. Do you promise to love and care for him, to be there for him through the good times and the bad, in sickness and in health. Do you vow to be loyal to him, and never break the trust with which he is entrusting you on this day?"

"I do," Gregory nodded quickly.

"Harry,do you promise to respect and care for Gregory as long as you live. Do you promise to love and care for him, to be there for him through the good times and the bad, in sickness and in health. Do you vow to be loyal to him, and never break the trust with which he is entrusting you on this day?"

"I do!" Harry said a little breathlessly. His heart was doing something interesting in his chest at this moment.

"Please turn to each other and join hands," The priest looked between them.

They turned and joined their free hands together taking another chance to smile at each other. The priest removed a piece of white ribbon from the altar and laid it over their hands, before taking the mixture of water and herbs that he had mixed. this got poured over their hands and then splashed around them, and almost straight away they could feel the air becoming more pure.

"Gregory, do you vow your magic to Harry, will you bond it with him here and willingly twine yours together with him in a bond that will last a lifetime?"

"I will," Gregory nodded. At his words the half of the ribbon hanging over his hand moved and wrapped around their hands in a couple of loops.

"Harry, do you vow your magic to Gregory, will you bond it with him here and willingly twine yours together with him in a bond that will last a lifetime?"

"I will," Harry smiled. His end of the ribbon moved and wrapped around their hands. It met the end of the first part and sealed back together, a faint glow starting to get brighter.

"Gregory and Harry have promised their lives, magic and love here in front of you all. Who here gives Gregory away?" The Priest looked up.

"I do," Carina stood and made her way over to them, with a warm smile and with tears in his eyes she touched her wand to the ribbon her magic making it glow a little brighter.

"And who stands with you?"

"We do," Lucius and Mikhail stepped forwards and touched their wands to the ribbon. Lucius met Harry's eyes and smiled warmly at him, nodding his head before he took his place again.

"And who here gives Harry away?"

"I do," Remus stepped forwards and touched his wand to the ribbon, he gave a little sniff and dabbed his eyes with what Harry thought was Andromeda's hanky as he stepped back into place. The glow of the ribbon was now nearly too bright to look at.

"And who here stands for him?"

"We do!" Hermione and Ron stepped forwards, their part in the ceremony now making the ribbon glow brighter still.

"Their marriage has been freely and lovingly blessed by their family. Gregory, Harry, allow your magic to be free,"

Harry closed his eyes and let loose his magic as Marcus had spent endless hours teaching him to do. He heard gasps from the crowd before concentrated firmly on making sure that he did this properly.

Hermione grinned at Ron and nudged him nodding towards the stunned looking Malfoys. Even in this moment Harry managed to stun them. Teddy gave a happy squeal and gurgle from the crowd as he recognised his godfather's magic, clapping his hands excitedly. Gregory's magic was a beautiful and stunning electric blue, Harry's however was what caused the reaction, a beautiful glittering, moving golden shade, is magic surrounded and danced playfully with Gregory's magic, surrounding it lovingly and protectively.

Their magic settled down and around their hands, seeping into the ribbon which glowed blindingly for a second and then disappeared into their hands.

"Gregory, please place your ring on Harry's finger as a symbol of the unending love that you have for him," The Priest directed once their magic was settled.

Gregory took the ring from Lucius and slipped it onto Harry's finger, lifting his hand and kissing the ring there before lowering his hand.

"Harry please place your ring on Gregory's finger as a symbol of the unending love that you have for him,"

Harry took the ring from Hermione and slipped it onto Gregory's finger, sucking in a deep breath as he realised that that was it, they were married.

"I now pronounce you bonded. You may kiss the groom," The Priest beamed.

A laughter went out as Gregory tugged Harry against him and kissed him firmly, Harry only being able to hold on and kiss back as best he could. They pulled away however at the sound of musical bells, opening their eyes they looked up to see fireworks exploding over their heads, but instead of loud bangs it was the sound of bells. Suddenly the mutterings about Weasley boys made sense and Harry turned to grin at the Weasley twins as a cheer went up among the crowd once again.

Harry was in a little bit of a daze, he was standing next to Gregory in front of their favourite seat having his picture taken. He was staring into Gregory's deep blue eyes, and all that could go around his head was that this man was his husband, actually his husband.

They had had what felt like a few thousand pictures taken already, and his smile was beginning to hurt a little, though he did not think that he could stop smiling either as the word husband buzzed around his head.

"Ok, I will head back and get some pictures of the family, I won't need you for at least ten minutes," The camera man smiled knowingly at them before turning and hurrying away.

Gregory made a faint noise before he grabbed Harry and tugged him into another kiss. This wasn't the sweet and chaste kisses that they had exchanged for the pictures, or the gentler kiss when they had been announced married. This kiss was demanding and hungry, something that Harry returned with equal hunger, holding onto Gregory's tightly and kissing back a fiercely. Kissing his husband back just as fiercely.

"What is the smile for?" Gregory asked pulling back a little.

"We're married, you're my husband now," Harry beamed.

"For now and always," Gregory sighed contently.

"We did it, we actually did it," Harry laughed pulling Gregory in for another kiss.

"How does it feel Mr Malfoy-Potter?"

"Pretty good Mr Malfoy-Potter,"

Gregory laughed and swept Harry off his feet, sinning them around in a tight hug. Over their head fireworks were still exploding in golden, silver and blue sparks trickling down to land in a fine dusting on the floor around the whole garden.

But Harry and Gregory were aware of none of this as they stood in each other's arms kissing and revelling in the fact that they were married. They were finally married.
