Note: My last update was probably a year ago. I'm terribly
sorry but since then I have taken a journey in writing progression
that I hope you will enjoy. I'm going to try my hand at this again
and write a new story after this, so be on the watch!
Birds became audible across the grounds. Their sing-song laughter echoed through the halls of Hogwarts. The tolls of the clock were heard throughout the courtyards. Way up in the Gryffindor tower laughter resounded from Hermione's suite. Inside were Ginny and Hermione preparing for the double wedding ceremony.
Hermione wore her cream colored satin dress from the play. She had made only minimal alterations. The waist line was gathered with horizontal sash of a lighter color. The bottom was tastefully decorated with small beads in gold and silver, to represent the joining of her and Severus's lives.
On the other hand Ginny wore a more modern take on a wedding dress. It was form fitted and fanned out into a few ruffles at the bottom. It was white decorated with silver specks of glitter.
Just then a dove flew through the window to Hermione. It was clutching a band of fabric and flowers. The band was strewn with rosebuds and then she realized that it was a veil. Ginny had already decided that a tiara would fit her face best and she had received it yesterday.
Ginny noticed it a few seconds after it came from the window, "Hermione," She sighed, "It's so beautiful!"
The clock tolled twelve and was barley audible in the lower dungeon where Severus lurked. He was packing the things from their lives over the past few moths to take with him after the wedding. They had secured a vast expanse of property nestled in an unpopulated part of wizarding Scotland for their new family. Hermione had raised the dragons and they needed a life.
They would continue to raise the creatures in barns and train them for use in the wizarding community. At least, that's what he intended to do in the summers. Hermione would most likely be starting a new part of the ministry for their cause.
When Severus got back to his quarters he pinned a rose on his lapel adjusted his ivory collar and walked quietly upon the quarters of Hogwarts. Across the yards of Hogwarts laid the purple majesty that Hermione and Ginny had agreed upon. Crystal candle holders lined the marble terrace.
Severus looked at the orchestra and their prized instruments. He admired the flowing wood of the stringed instruments and the shiny silver and brass of the horns. They began to play their tuning notes, a sound that Severus had always loved even if it was off pitch.
People were beginning to arrive in chairs and the fighters of the Undercastle began to assemble at the edge of the forest. Harry arrived soon and the tolling of the clock began the ceremony. The band sounded the processional and soon the traditional march. Ginny and Hermione walked side by side with fairies carrying the train of Hermione's dress.
Rose pedals of red, pink, and white sprinkled the ground. Severus and Harry looked at their brides with anticipation. The walk from the castle to the lake wedding took longer than he had expected. The air had cooled off a little from the graduation ceremony, and for this Severus was glad.
Hermione and Ginny smiled as they walked until they finally met their husbands. A ministry wizard started the bonding spell. They pledged their loyalty, love, devotion, and care for the rest of their lives.
"Severus," Hermione began, "I love you more than life it's self, had you died in the war I wouldn't have continued on. I pledge to you my life and my heart for the rest of our years on earth and beyond. You have taught me so much in life and I hope I can teach you things you've never known," the tears were rolling down her face," I love you so much Severus!"
"Hermione, love had crossed my mind only as something I would have to live without. That fateful day I heard you sing, I knew there was more than just houses, the greatest gift that you could have given me was your love. I am so gracious to you. And I give to you my life!" There was a light surrounding the couple and then they were bound.
Ginny and Harry were less eloquent with their vows than Hermione and Severus had been. They walked off the stage to a recessional in D major. Hermione and Severus took their Honeymoon in Quebec, while Harry and Ginny took theirs in Australia.
The hero's of the war set to building a new castle made of marble on the land that Severus and Hermione had established in the outskirts of Scotland. It was going to be the new residence of and anamagi and arts school. Now that the war was over it was going to be a time of peace and prosperity and the family couldn't think of a better way.
The school would go on to be a sister school of Hogwarts. Hermione and Severus produced twin girls with black curly hair and brown eyes. One was a talented singer and the other a ballet dancer.
The children of the warriors were peaceful and went on to live lives of great love and art.
