Hermione walked down the isle. On one side was Viktor Krums parents, Igor Karkroff and Severus Snape. One the other side of the isle stood Bellatrix, then an empty seat, Narcissa Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy and Rabastan Lestrange. At the end of the isle stood Tom Riddle in the middle as the officiant and to his left stood the groom, Viktor Krum.
The moment Hermione saw Viktor she was hit will memories of her playing with Viktor, even though he could have been playing with his friends he choose to play with her. Then another of them sitting under a tree reading. Her kissing Viktor on the cheek telling him she loved him. Another was before the Yule Ball seeing him handsome in his robes. She knew in that moment she would always love Viktor. Most thought he was stupid but he wasn't. There were many nights that year that Viktor and Hermione would sit up late at night near Black Lake talking about many different things. Of course she didn't tell her friends. Why would she, she was already called a traitor by Ron because she went to the ball with Viktor she couldn't imagine what he would have said if she told him she was in love with the Bulgarian Seeker. She chuckled softly she wondered what Ron would think of her marrying Viktor.
"Hey you okay?" Her father asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine" Hermione sighed happily "Actually I'm really fine. I'm in marrying the only man I have ever loved, I am getting to know my real family and I finally feel like I fit in."
"Good" her father said. "Your mother and I have missed you so much and when you get back we are finally going to get to know you."
"I like the sound of that. Now lets get me married" Hermione said as they got to the end of the isle.
Rodolphus Lestrange kissed Hermiones cheek, telling her that he loved her and placed her right hand in Viktors left. He issued a 'Take care of my daughter or I will Ava you' before sitting down.
Tom lifted up a rope and said "Place your joined hands on top. manu ieiunio." Tom whispered the spell meaning handfasting over the rope. The rope changed colors and multiplied several times. "Interesting" he mumbled. He placed the ribbons on a tray beside him and started speaking. "Today we bind Hermione Athena Lestrange and Viktor Zachary Krum together in marriage. This marriage was set together by their parents and approved by their godparents. Most couples in arranged marriages grow up knowing each other but not this pair. They were sadly separated at a young age but they found each other again. From the signs of these ropes they are in love already. Link your arms facing each other at the elbows." The pair did that. "Good" he said flicking his wand at a pink rope "These ropes represent what each of you are bringing into your marriage. The first is love." The rope tied around the pairs wrist. "Next is Lust" he chuckled. "Yellow for friendship, blue for fertility, green for fidelity, and finally purple for happiness and trust." As the last rope tied around their wrists a light formed around Viktor and Hermione. Hermione and Viktor exchanged rings. Where Viktors ring came from Hermione had no clue but she would file that away for later. "I pronounce you husband and wife" Tom said "You may kiss your bride."
An hour later the newly wed couple was sitting at the head of a dinning room table surrounded by their family. "We have gifts for you" Bellatrix informed them.
"First this should have been your years ago" Hermiones father said handing her a square velvet box.
Hermione opened it and looked inside. It was a silver necklace with a crest hanging from the bottom as a charm. "Is this?" Hermione asked while running her hand over the charm.
"Yes it is the Lestrange crest" Hermiones Uncle Rabastan said. "As I have no children you inherit everything when we pass on."
Hermione chuckled "I hope thats not for a long time. We have a lot of time to make up for. Thank you" she said as Viktor clasped the necklace around her thin neck.
"The second gift is we had the elves go clean up the manor in Italy. We want you two to use it for your honeymoon. The box your necklace came in is your port key. Alls you have to say is found and it is activated" Bellatrix informed her daughter "And don't worry about clothes. We sent one of the elves out to get some for you both."
"Thank you" Hermione whispered trying to keep the tears out of her eyes. The last two days was a lot to take in but it was all worth it.
"Since we are planning on moving into the area we have bought a house down the road and there is a plot of land down the road from it. We are going to have a house built for the two of you" Mr. Krum said to the pair.
"And we are furnishing it" Narcissa said adding to the gift happily.
"And I will be supplying your lab" Severus said.
"And I'm stocking your gym and training room" Igor said.
"Wow" the pair said in harmony.
"Thank you mama, papa. Mr and Mrs Malfoy, Mr Snape and Uncle Igor" Viktor said for both himself and his new wife.
"Please call me Aunt Cissa and Lucius Uncle" Narcissa said "both of you" she added at the end looking towards her niece and goddaughter.
"You may call me Severus Viktor" he said in a deep tone.
"Alright I have a gift for both of you" Tom said handing them two eggs. At Hermione and Viktors confused looks he answered the unspoken questions "They are Rosy boa, a very small snake. These two are mates. I know you are wondering why, Hermione when I became your godfather some of my powers transferred to you and you can speak parselmouth. So can you Viktor. When the two of you did your handsfasting your powers combined."
Hermione smiled "Thank you godfather."
"You are welcome my dear" he said. "These two will be very protective of you two and each other. They will make sure no harm comes to you."
A few hours later Viktor and Hermione said "Found" and were off to Italy, while their family made plans to have their new home done by the time they came back in two weeks time. One of the many things that could only be possible because of magic.
