Chapter 8

Hermione and Draco stuck together for the next two weeks like glue due to Draco's over protectiveness. He was still feeling the last remnants of Theodore's pain he had just glimpsed at. Hermione gave him the comfort he wanted more then anything and he adored her more then ever. He forced himself to keep his hands off of her unless it was necessary or at night when his nightmares made him crave her arms around him more then when he was awake. She would wake up and see his face twisted in worry until she kissed him. His arms would wrap tighter and bury his head into her neck licking at it lightly but wake up when she giggled quietly.

"Why are you laughing at me?" he would ask sleepily.

"It felt like was Crookshanks licking my neck," she said giggling again when he licked again.

"I don't like being compared to that furball," he said and she smacked him rough enough to get his attention.

"I loved that cat, and besides your more alike then you know," she said smiling softly.

"How so love?" he asked running his fingers through her hair lightly and laying his head on her shoulder.

"Both of you don't look appealing at first glance but you grow on me," she teased and he growled slightly before he lifted up on his arms and looked at her lustfully.

"I don't look like that furball, and I know for certain you find me more attractive," he said kissing the spot on her neck that he had been licking in his sleep.

"That's for certain, at least I don't need a lint brush after I've cuddled with you," she said smiling as he growled again.

The night before their wedding Hermione was stressing over the detail of the wedding in a guest bedroom at Malfoy Manor. She constantly stuck her head in the fireplace to contact her bridesmaids constantly before they blocked her entirely from their fireplaces. She contacted Draco's groomsmen and they assured her that they would be their and she restrained herself from contacting all the guest and her future mother in law to remind them about the wards around the Manor that would be down for the entire day till the last guest left. In the middle of her hair pulling Draco came in looking perfectly sexy in nothing but boxers and wet hair.

"Love, I've felt nothing but worry for the last six hours coming from your head. Nothing is going to go wrong," he whispered in her ear as he hugged her to his chest. She sighed and pushed him away.

"Your not supposed to see me until tomorrow at two," she said trying to push him out of her room. "It's bad luck."

"Maybe I'm willing to risk it," he said tugging her hips playfully to his. She stood firm and shook her head.

"Out of my room before I curse you," she said calmly.

He pouted before he left her room quietly as he came in. She smiled though, his visit made her feel calmer and as she sank under the covers on her bed she finally got the sleep she finally needed. Her dreams consisted of almost all the sexual acts they had committed together since their first time and she knew subconsciously that Draco was sending them her way as punishment for not letting him sneak in pre-wedding sex as a thrill to knowing they shouldn't the night before. When she woke up at two in the morning with soaked panties she didn't hesitate getting out of her bed and walking the one mile to his bedroom. He was awake, laying comfortably on a couch waiting for her with a bottle of firewhiskey next to him.

"If your drunk later today I'll curse you," she said before she quickly straddled his waist and kissed him desperately. "I should be mad that you sent me all of those dreams," she murmured against his lips before he positioned them so she was underneath him. He smirked against her lips.

"My little lioness is always pulling out her roar but I have yet to see an actual curse tossed at me," he said seductively.

"I don't want to be accused of spousal abuse until I have you locked away somewhere where you can't spill the beans," she said feeling his hands quickly get rid of her underwear and gasped when he entered her.

"Don't worry darling, I have much more interesting ways of getting back at you," he said licking at her neck as he stroked back and forth out of her quickly drawing moans out of her. He used his wonderful hands to draw more moans and finally a scream as she came and forced him over with her when her nails in his hair and on the back of his neck scratched into his skin.

"I should be really mad at you right now," she said kissing the scratch marks she had left on his neck and shoulders when he sat up with her behind him and her legs wrapped around his waist. He nearly purred in her arms trying to keep her with him longer.

"You initiated it though, love," he said rolling his shoulders let her know he wanted her attention there.

"I believe your horniness made me climb out of my bed and into yours through all those remembrances of what we've been up to since day one," she said weaving her fingers into his hair and making him purr lightly when she scratched at his scalp.

"Can you blame me? That bachelor party that Blaise threw was bloody awful, I can't look at any other naked woman and like it," he said though he laughed at remembering Harry's red face along with Ron's tomato complexion when they both received lap dances to amuse Draco since he wasn't liking his own.

"Good, I would hate to feel suspicious that any other woman could make you want them at all," she said kissing his throat over the same area that he usually licked her own. "I'll see you later at the ceremony if I don't sleep through it," she said getting up and from behind him only for him to pull her back onto his lap and subjected to one of his hungry passionate kisses. She kept her head and pulled away to his disappointment.

"If you fall asleep I'll grab your arse in front of the entire audience and smirk as you jump awake," he said when she climbed off of his lap.

"I'll remember that," she said walking to the door and looking back at him lovingly. "Get some sleep."

"I can't when your not here," he said pouting slightly. Peeking out of the door she checked to see if anyone was walking around and peeled off her shirt before she threw it to him.

"Sleep with that," she said watching his eyes cloud over in lust as he watched her run naked out of his room and down the hall quickly to her guest room. She ran into her room laughing at her antics and climbed into bed quickly still naked, falling asleep with no more disruptions in her sleep.

Later around eight her sleep was interrupted by a loud banging and shot up in bed clutching her blankets to her chest to keep her nakedness hidden as Ginny burst into her room without knocking at all.

"Hermione, get your arse out of bed and into her shower so I can make you look like a bride," Ginny ordered carrying her wedding dress in and hanging it in the closet while Hermione dashed into her bathroom with a sheet wrapped around her. Ginny made sure she was clean and her hair was washed in her robe before she dragged her into the barbers chair she conjured out of thin air and forced her to sit still as she did Hermione's make up and hair. Luna came in looking dreamy as usual but perfectly suitable to be a bridesmaid with her hair only outside the norm because she pinned it up with a radish as decoration. Ginny didn't let Hermione see how she looked though everyone that came in to tell her that the plans were being carried on flawlessly awed at the sight of her. Even when she was putting on her dress Ginny still didn't let her look into a mirror until she had her veil in place and her heels on.

"Okay, ready to see Draco drool at the mere sight of you?" Ginny said excitedly.

"Not until I know for sure I don't have ten pounds of makeup on my face," Hermione said stretching her neck to get a crick out of it.

"Fine," Ginny said summoning a full length mirror and placing it in front of Hermione. "Don't start crying or I'll kick your bony ass even if Draco comes after me." Ginny smiled. Hermione looked at herself in the mirror and almost started crying until Ginny made a warning sound and she sucked it up. Her hair was tamed to be silky strands curled and hanging over her bare shoulder and Ginny highlighted her eyes and cheekbones with light makeup but not too much to make it look unnatural. Her curves even more because of a slight shrinking spell that Ginny cast to make it fit even more perfect then before. Her veil hung to mid waist and added to the already perfect bride look before Ginny pulled it over her face.

"Now all you have to do is sit in that chair for another forty minutes and look beautiful while I make sure the groom and his men are ready. No sneaking out of this room and ruining your dress," she said sternly sounding exactly like . Hermione pulled a chair up to the window and obediently sat down as Ginny left her room.

Down the enormous hall Draco was having trouble with his father.

"Why won't you wear traditional robes instead of that ridiculous muggle get up?" Lucious asked noticing his son roll his eyes impatiently.

"Hermione and I aren't going to be doing it the traditional wizard way, except for the ceremony because I don't want to do it that way and she's fine with that," he said calmly though he was losing his patience quickly.

"Your mother and I have always dreamed you would do it traditionally like we did, why can't you agree to this one request from us?" Lucious asked sighing.

"I'm sorry but until recently and for a period of four years after sixth year I could hardly give a shit about what either one of you wanted for me," he said turning to his father who had the nerve to look hurt. "Don't think that I didn't love you both at the time, but I didn't believe in any of your beliefs after Dumbledore fell over the edge of that tower anymore. This is basically the teenage rebellion that I couldn't have then, by denying you the pleasure of seeing me in this traditional robe you dragged out of Grinngotts and marry Hermione while we both wear muggle attire."

"Finally, she put a backbone in you," Lucious said smiling slightly while Draco's eyes drifted off slightly at the mention of her till Ginny burst in not seeming to care if anyone inside of the room was naked when she came in.

"Hermione's all ready and I came in to check on you and the boys. Where's Harry?" she asked looking around.

"Across the hall in the study, tell him that we'll be going down in ten minutes to go greet guest so hurry up and don't distract him," he said and she walked out smirking at his insinuations.

"What prompted you to make him a groomsman?" Lucious asked sitting down on a couch and examining his son closely. He looked beyond happy, even when he wasn't smiling to himself.

"He ended the war and he's Hermione's best friend, I'm not going to shove him out of her life because I want her all to myself," Draco said smiling as he remembered this morning when she came just because he made her horny in her sleep with simple memories.

"Why not Weasley?" he asked.

"He isn't that calm headed to let his best friend marry a former enemy while he stands there watching," Draco said adjusting his tie once again and inspecting his hair before he turned to his father and smiled. "I have only two goals today, make her happy and to finally claim her in a way that won't send me into a frenzy because their watching."

"About that Draco, when are you going to claim her properly? Your mother and I want grandchildren quickly," he said and his son laughed at him.

"She wants to wait and I'm not going to force her to become pregnant so you can spoil the child senseless," he said calmly.

"No we spoiled you senseless; we plan on spoiling our grandchildren rotten," Lucious said just as his wife walked in.

"Hurry up, the guest are here and you must greet them Draco," she said as he walked toward her. She examined him like her husband and didn't find that him not wearing the traditional robes took away from the day, that happy aura he was giving off made him perfectly handsome to her. "You look wonderful."

"Oh please don't tear up," Draco said when his mother sniffed. She held her head up high and walked away without a word as Lucious chuckled.

"She'll start crying in the middle of the ceremony, mark my words," Lucious chuckled.

Hermione had started daydreaming about the ceremony when Ginny came back in with Harry towed behind her.

"Still beautiful good, because in ten minutes the ceremony starts and I think it'll take twenty to actually walk out to the garden," Ginny said as Harry looked at Hermione awed.

"Wow," he said.

"So articulate, I suppose you'll be speechless when you marry Ginny," Hermione smiled.

"Of course he will if he knows what's good for him," Ginny joked snapping Harry out of his daze.

"Come on, these heels will only make this more dangerous," she said standing up and thinking about it before she pulled her shoes off and started running for the front door despite Ginny's protest. She reached the front door in four minutes breathless and leaned against it to catch her breath while Ginny and Harry caught up with her. Ginny scolded her before she fixed Hermione's hair and declared her perfect again. Harry left to join Draco and Ginny went to find Luna before the music started. Hermione felt how excited that Draco was from where she was without seeing him and it made her excited in return.

Ginny came and ordered her to take her bouquet and listen for her cue. Following the red head she stayed out of sight and heard the music start to play signaling for the groomsmen and women to start their march and finally her song started. She walked forward suddenly feeling foolish for forgetting her heels. The grass felt cool under her feet and she didn't regret forgetting them till Ginny shot her a look from the head of the party. She hardly cared though because she saw Draco and he saw her clearly for the first time and cliché as it is he was all she saw. He looked amazed at her, clearly speechless as she had wanted him to be. To her he was at his best and she couldn't find a thing she would change (well maybe mess up his hair so it would hang in his eyes how she liked it). He caught that thought and ran a hand through his hair thoroughly getting rid of the slicked back style she hated in school.

Smiling more brightly she walked toward him barely keeping her feet under her since the pull of his gaze made her want to stubble to move quicker toward him, but when she did reach him he took her hand quickly and practically smoldered into her skin with hot lustful it was. She lowered her gaze and listened to the priest begin the ritual to tie them together permanently in life and make the bonds they shared more powerful (not that they needed it to be that way) and as she recited her vows Draco's gaze became more focused as he listened to her willingly tie herself to him for life and promise to always love him. She looked at him again when he proudly and posseively said his vows making sure their was no doubt he wanted her to the last breath. As the wizard tied their wrist with the golden ribbon they looked into each others eyes and saw only love and devotion to each other as he completed the rest of the ritual with neither of them paying attention till they heard his final words.

"I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride," he said stepping back as Draco cupped her face and kissed her passionately, disregarding the wolf whistles coming from Fred and George and a few others in the back. When he finally stepped away the wizard declared them Mr. and Mrs. Draco Malfoy to cheers from everyone and a couple of sobs coming from Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Malfoy.

Despite Draco's trying to sneak her into a closet for hot sex Hermione kept him firmly by her side as she greeted everyone and ate at the reception held in one of the three ballrooms at Malfoy Manor. He tried to keep his hands to himself but she was tempting him unconsciously as she walked around in her dress smiling happily while dirty thoughts kept flitting through his mind. Feeling his desire she smiled at him and leaned up toward his ear.

"You remember that your going to claim me tonight, we have all night to play out the dirty thoughts going through your head," she said seductively while he growled low in his throat before he looked at his watch.

"Do I really have to wait eight hours before I can take you," he said trying not to look desperate and failing.

"Yes, remember you promised not to kick anyone out till ten," she reminded him when he started regretting promising her anything but constant sex on their wedding night.

Fred and George left early after giving their present, which was explained when it turned out to a joke device making anyone who touched it extremely lustful (thankfully only Ginny and Harry touched it which explained their leaving early. Luna left an encyclopedia with the names and descriptions of all the imaginary creatures featured in her fathers magazine. Neville was especially sweet leaving them a flower that displayed the love of whoever touched it; red for passionately, pink for sweetly, yellow for friendship, and white for eternally. Somehow after Draco touched it the petals were white with red outlines, not changing but slightly for Hermione with pink fading in. Mrs. Weasley gave them a family photo album that recorded important family moments without the need to take a picture. They opened it and inside already were pictures from their wedding inside. The rest of the gifts were just as thoughtful and sweet, except for Pansy's which made Hermione blush as she hid it and Draco shift in his seat to hide his erection at the thought of her wearing that lingerie.

Finally to Draco's delight around seven all of the guests started leaving, saying that they no longer wanted to intrude on the young couple's night after Draco started growling at random people. Tactfully his parents disappeared to their wing of the Manor and left Hermione to get cornered by her newly wed husband. He put both hands on either side of her body and proceeded to attack her exposed shoulder and neck inhaling her scent in deep gulps. She gave him more access and pulled at the collar of his shirt unbuttoning it to slip her hand underneath it and feel his chest and neck before she kissed his neck lightly. He picked her up bridal style and carried her by memory down the hall while he was kissing her senseless into his room before he put her on the bed and walked away to sit in his chair leaving her confused.

"Undress," he said pulling his jacket off and his shirt as he watched her stand up. She pulled her veil free from her hair and placed it on the bed. She pulled out the pins keeping her hair in place and shook it loose while he shifted wanting her to hurry but she continued slowly knowing she didn't have much on underneath her dress. Blushing she pushed the shoulder holding up her dress off and pulled her arm free before reaching for the zipper on the back of her dress and let it fall and only glanced up to see the hungry look in his eyes before he had her pinned to the bed and smirking at her.

"Oh you know how to be a tease Hermione," he said looking at her naked chest, then trailing his eyes down to the green panties that covered almost nothing and then the garter she had slipped on just as a joke to herself but turned Draco on more then anything. "Oh if I knew you had almost nothing on under that dress I would have growled right after the ceremony to make them all leave."

"That's why I didn't tell you," she said kissing him under his chin to hear him almost purr before his hands started assaulting her body. She pushed the sensations he was causing back for a minute and looked at him seriously.

"Why don't we wait till after we start the claiming?" she asked. He groaned and put his head against her shoulder as he whined.

"I don't want to wait any longer," he mumbled against her skin.

"Just wait a little longer, or can we do it now?" she asked.

He wandlessly conjured two small vials and drew his blood to fill them halfway and then took her wrist and drew hers as painlessly as possible before he sealed them to shake them and then gave her one and chugged his own down, she closed her eyes and drank hers surprised to find that the fire already burning for Draco tripled and from his expression the same for him. He stood up and ripping at her underwear and pulling her garter off with his teeth slowly while her arousal built up deliciously. He spread her legs and kissed each of her thighs before he licked her core slowly making her moan loudly and almost arch off the bed if his hands hadn't been holding down her hips to restrain her. He attacked her clit slowly, drawing out the most delicious moans that he could until she finally came and he tasted her essence noticing his was mixed in slightly now with hers.

She nearly pulled him up to her desperately to kiss him passionately and he could feel her heart pounding in her chest in time with his own. She made quick work of his pants and had him beneath her riding him fast until he flipped them over and his wolf demanded submission from her. Feeling this she showed him her neck instinctively and he bit it possessively leaving a mark on her while she moaned. He had told her that they were supposed to go slow but instead here he was lifting her knees to his hips so he could pound into her while the only grip she had on him was shoulders and none on her sanity. She made no conscious effort to keep quiet and he was being just as vocal her. At some point she could see the images thoughts flitting through his head and they most consisted of dirty images of her as he looked at her and thoughts along the line of 'Damn she's bloody gorgeous' and growls from his inner wolf. Finally she came her scream bouncing off the walls and his growl of triumph mingling with her cries.

Draco collapsed to the side of her and smirked happily at her as she tried to catch her breath. She turned toward him and caught the thoughts flickering through his head.

"That was enough tonight Draco, I don't think I could do much more," she said breathlessly.

"Um, but I think we've barely begun," he said moving to kiss her again.
