Epilogue
Hermione stood with her soon to be husband at the alter.
Hermione's POV
"Do you Draco Malfoy take Hermione Granger to be your lawful wedded wife through sickness and health, for better, for worse, as long as you both shall live?" I heard the preacher ask. But I only had eyes for him, my Draco.
"I do." I smiled at his answer.
"And do you, Hermione Granger, take Draco Malfoy to be your lawful wedded wife through sickness and health, for better, for worse, as long as you both shall live?" The preacher asked me. I smiled brightly.
"I do." I said, confidently. This would work, we would make it work.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." I smiled and Draco leaned in.
"Forever." He whispered, his lips caught mine in our first kiss as husband and wife. Yes, this is where I belong. It took a long time for me to trust him again after the horcrux thing and finding out that he was a deatheater at the age of sixteen. But I loved him even back then, so I trusted him. Harry and Ron soon trusted him too. That shocked us all. But the most shocking event to happen to me was the day that he proposed.
We were walking into my house when he grabs my hand and stops me. I turn and look at him. Still holding my hand, he falls to one knee. I all but squeal. My mom and dad run outside. They stood at the doorway and watched. I looked at my dad and saw him smiling. Draco had talked to my dad about it. The sly bastard.
"Hermione, I love you. It took me not long to realize it. Some time after I ran into you in our sixth year outside your common room, I began to realize that I loved you. I denied it and fought it. Until Ginny Weasley shouted at me that you were hurt did I stop denying it. My heart died seeing you in pain. I vow to make you happy for the rest of your life. Will you let me? Will you marry me?" He asked. I smiled through my tears and jumped at him. My arms wrapped around him.
"Yes!" I said. Kissing his face. I stopped when I felt him slip the ring onto my finger.
Ginny had been so mad at me for not telling her first. Every Weasley yelled. Draco and me broke apart laughing. Harry had been Draco's best man. Harry hit Draco on the shoulder.
"Hurt her. I'll kill you." Harry said. His voice holding every ounce of a threat. Draco nodded.
"I won't, mate." He said. "Plus it's not you I'm going to have to worry about." Draco jerked his thumb to Ron and Ginny. "It's those two Weasley's that frighten me most. Ginny's known for the bat boogey hex. And Ron well he has one hell of a punch." The Weasley started laughing. Fred and George beamed at me. I waved. Fred and George walked over.
"Well, I'm happy for you, Hermione." Fred said with a smile. George smiled and nodded in agreement.
"However for a couple of years there we were worried about your mental state..but, eh, who are we to judge?" George said. I laughed and punched George in the shoulder.
"Well, that's not very lady like on your wedding day." Fred said.
"Yeah, Hermione. Punching wedding guests?" George said.
"Not ladylike at all." Ron finished. They laughed. I stuck my tongue out at them and walked over to Draco. He through his arm around me and I leaned into him. Yes, this is were I belong.
