The Wedding of first girl born grandchild of Hermione and Draco, Narcissa Andromeda Malfoy, and first boy born grandchild of Ron and Lavender, Matthew Gerrard Weasley.
Draco Black Malfoy sat in a white chair and looked up as his first girl grandchild was standing up and saying her vows. Now normally he would have been very proud over this little tidbit. He really would have been, but the fact remand that his precious grandchild was hitching up with a Weasley! He looked down as his wife of 53 years as she placed a soft hand on top of his.
"Draco, a promise is a promise." She whispered into his ear, and nodded her head towards Ron.
Draco looked at Ron and glowered. "Why did you promise a Malfoy to a Weasley? It is uncommon. Unnatural!"
Hermione chuckled softly. "She's happy Draco."
Draco looked back up at the couple, and gave a little sigh of defeat. He could see the happiness shine off the two of them in waves, and could feel his heart give a twinge of pain as the thought made him think of his mother. He thought that she would have loved to see her great-grandchild marry. He looked over to where Blaise was sitting with Luna, and when there eyes met he saw the same look of recognition in his eyes that he knew was in his own.
Both mother's had lived to see their second great-grandchild being born, before both decided that enough was enough. They didn't die on the same day. No, they decided that best friends where going to be best friends till the end and die within two days of each other. Surprisingly Narcissa was the first to past on in her sleep. Isabella died out by her beloved pond, just like her mother, sitting in the chair over looking the lake.
Draco got his attention back when he felt Hermione nudge him in the stomach. He glared at her for a moment, before turning his attention back to the ceremony. He looked at the two children, sorry adults, as they said there vows. Draco couldn't help the smirk that he knew was showing. He was thinking of his and Hermione's "Wedding". He thought that it was a grand old time.
She still didn't think so.
"You may now kiss the bride." The priest called out, and the crowd of people applauded the union.
"Draco."
"Hmm?"
"Your not still mad about the promise are you?" Hermione asked later on as she sat watching the first dance.
"Your not still mad about how we got married are you?" Draco countered.
Hermione smiled and leaned over to give Draco a kiss on his cheek. "No. I forgave you."
"When?" Draco asked with a surprise look.
"The day Ron and I made that promise." Hermione laughed when she watched her husbands face go from happy to disgust in a millisecond. "It's honestly not bad of a union Malfoy!"
"Still Malfoy's never promise a first born to a Weasley." Draco folded his arms across his chest. "It's a rule!"
"Hermione. Draco." They both turned at the voice, Draco's scowl growing and Hermione's smile deepening. "Still arguing I see."
"Yes Blaise. We will argue until the day we die." Hermione responded, deciding to ignore Draco. "Why do you ask?"
"Just thought with us being in our 70's that it would lessen more." Blaise sat down in the empty seat beside Hermione. His bones were not as young as they used to be.
Hermione patted him on the knee. "Hard to believe that we are that old Cuz?"
Blaise gave an old toothy grin. "Your only as old as you think. And I feel about 50 again."
"Just not as good looking, right?" Hermione sighed and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Ya. Just not as good looking." He leaned his head against hers. "But then again Hermione, at least I am not as old as you are!"
Hermione slapped his shoulder. "Blaise!"
"Well it's true love." He gave her pouty lips a kiss. "But I see one of Potter's children hitting on my wife again. So I must go punish the brat again." He got up and made his way slowly across the room.
Hermione leaned back against her chair and smiled. She loved these moments in her life, when the family was all together and having a good time. She loved the fact that she got to see each of her children grow, and see her grandchildren grow as well. She loved the fact that she was going to be a great grandmother soon. How she knew this, she never tried to guess. But she only knew that she was going to be getting to hold that baby and more.
Her eyes scanned the room and came to look onto Harry and Ginny. She smiled when she saw that even in his old age he could make the once red head blush. She smiled when she thought that Draco could still do that to her as well.
"Draco?" Hermione softly spoke.
"Yes love?" Draco placed his head on her shoulder, and kissed her cheek.
"Let's go for a walk." She got up and offered her hand to him.
Draco looked at the hand and then looked up at his wife, his love and smiled. He placed his hand in hers, got up and together walked out of the mansion.
"Ron do you regret ever not being with her?" Lavender asked as she saw him watching Hermione and Draco walk out of the room and into the night.
Ron looked at Lavender and softly kissed her lips. "Not for a minute love. For then I would have never had you, and would have never had the kids that I love now. I would never have the moment to be here, right now, and watch as my grandson gets married. Nothing would be the same."
"But I watch the way I you look at her." Lavender sighed. "I guess I still worry, and I am 70 years old!"
Ron touched both of Lavender's cheeks. He looked into her eyes and said with a clear voice. "I love you. Only you, Lavender."
Lavender smiled and stood on her tiptoes to give him a kiss on his lips. "And I love you too."
"Do you think that we will be like that when we are that old Matthew?" The bride said as she leaned her head against her new husbands chest, while staring at her grandparents as they walked in the moonlit garden.
"That and so much more Narcissa." Matthew kissed his new wife on the top of the head. "That and so much more."
And they did.
A/N- That is the end! YAIH! Sorry a little personal victory on my part. It is a short epilogue and I liked the way it ended. Pretty happy ending if I do say so myself and I hope that everyone that has read this story enjoys it as much as I did. Until next time!
