Carmilla was pacing around the room. All she could think about what was about to happen. She was about to get married. She was scared shitless, she had knots in her stomach.

"Hermione I don't think I can do this." Carmilla said nervously.

"Carmilla your just a little nervous, its perfectly natural. You can't stand Draco up, your getting married in like twenty five minutes. This is not exactly the best timing." Hermione said with a nervous smile.

"I know but I'm just scared thats all" Carmilla said.

"Everything will be fine you and Draco are perfect for each other. He's like a totally different person when he's around you. I've never seen him act like that its almost like he's human." Hermione replied.

"Gee thanks that made me feel a lot better 'Mione." Carmilla joked.

"You know what I mean, its like you brought out a part of him that no one knew existed. You can tell by the way he looks at you he loves you so much." Hermione said enthusiastically.

"Your right" Carmilla replied.

"Now lets go there's a wedding with your name on it." Hermione replied.

Both girls took one last look in the mirror, then left the girls dormitory. The spell had been cast so that anyone who didn't know about the wedding would have been frozen in time. Hermione and Carmilla left the gryffindor common room and started heading towards Dumbledore's office.

In Dumbledore's Office

The sight that Draco saw when he entered the office took his breath away. Dumbledore had transfigured his office. There was an altar, he assumed that was what he and Carmilla would stand under. There were two small golden chalices, the room was decorated perfectly to accomadate a wedding. As he looked around he noticed Dumbledore setting up for his part of the ceremony.

"Ah Mr. Malfoy I see you've finally found your way to my office. I was getting a little nervous when you weren't here earlier. I was hoping that you didn't have a change of heart and came to the decision that you weren't ready to get married." Dumbledore said slyly.

"No just had a few pre-wedding jitters, but Hermione knocked the sense into me. There was no question in my mind about being ready to get married, it was a question of am I worthy of being married to Carmilla." Draco said truthfully.

"In yours and Miss Hannigan's case, the two of you were drawn to each other even before either of you knew that you were destined to be together. So to answer your question Mr. Malfoy the two of you are worthy for each other." Dumbledore replied.

"Do the ceremonies take long?" Draco asked.

"If it was just the wizarding ceremony it would be quite short. But alas there are two ceremonies so it will be a bit longer." Dumbledore replied.

"Oh" Draco replied.

"Now all we have to do is wait for Ms. Hannigan and Ms.Granger and we can begin" Dumbledore stated. As the words came out of his mouth there was soft knock at the door. Carmilla's mother was the closest to the door, so she answered it. There in the doorway stood Carmilla and Hermione. Everyone just stood for a moment to stare. Both girls looked exquisite from head to toe.

"Well now that everyone is here we may begin." Dumbledore stated.

Carmilla took her place beside Draco "Would you like to perform your ceremony first or shall I?" Dumbledore stated.

"I'll go first if you don't mind" Archimedia replied.

"Not at all be my guest" Dumbledore said.

"Alright then Carmilla and Draco would you please take a step forward." Carmilla and Draco stepped forward, they instinctively took each other's hand.

"This will probably be the hardest part of the ceremony. You will need to draw blood from each other. If both of you will roll up one of your sleeves. Now Draco you'll have to let Carmilla bit you so that blood can be drawn and then Carmilla bite yourself deep enough to draw blood. Once you've done that drop less than a quarter of a pint of blood into the chalice that sits in front of you. Once you've done that and the vows are recited the blood will float into each of your wounds." Archimedia stated. With Archimedia's last statement Draco looked down to the ground quickly. He felt ashamed he wasn't able to do something because he wasn't a vampire. Carmilla noticed the rejected look on Draco's face.

"Its ok Draco, I'll be all healed up by tomorrow. Vampires heal very quickly." Carmilla said reassuringly.

Draco offered his wrist to Carmilla which she in turn extended her fangs and sank her teeth, Draco winced a little after but no pain no gain right. After Carmilla drew enough blood, she pierced her own wrist and let the blood seep out. Each of their blood poured out, they placed their hands in the chalice letting the blood drip down their fingertips into the chalice.

"Please join hands while I say the vow" Archimedia instructed. Carmilla and Draco joined hands. " Vacare' duo diversus mundus ille duo homines voluntas esse iungere eorum coniugium voluntas esse similis non alius. Ille potestas qui illi voluntas manus voluntas sinere ipsi ad facere magnus rec. Hic dragon voluntas capere hic vampire regis filia ac eius nupla. Draco do you wish to take Carmilla as your bride."

"I do" Draco replied.

"Does ille vampire regis filia votum ad capere hic dragon ac vester maritus. Carmilla do you wish to take Draco as your husband."

"Yes I do" Carmilla replied.

"Cum ille votums illi voluntas esse coniungere causa aeternitas."Archimedia stated Everyone watched as the blood from the chalice floated through the air and found its way to Draco and Carmilla's veins. Once the blood entered their veins the wounds were sealed. .

"Now the two of you are binded for eternity. The two of you will become so close that at times you will know what the other is thinking without ever speaking a word. At times you will almost be able to read each other's thoughts." Archimedia explained.

After Archimedia performed his ceremony, Dumbledore performed his ceremony, the ceremony was simplistic but effective.Once the rings were placed on Carmilla and Draco's ring fingers.Their names were engraved into the bands.

"These rings will never be able to come off unless one of you dies. When one of you passes away the bond will be broken and the rings will be able to be removed. You have a bond that only death can break. Now you may kiss the bride." Dumbledore

stated. Carmilla and Draco kissed quickly since their were so many sets of eyes staring at them so intently. It was rather awkward for them to be kissing in public since they have had to hide their relationship for so long.

"Now that the ceremonies are finished you may return to your dormitories once all of you are there time will resume." Dumbledore said.

"Headmaster how do you think the rest of the student body will react to their relationship?" McGonagall asked.

"Probably not so good, I'm sure the slytherins will exile Mr.Malfoy because he chose Ms.Hannigan and I'm sure the gryffindors will not be too pleased that Mr.Malfoy is with Ms.Hannigan. Since as we all know he is famous for ridiculing muggleborns." Dumbledore stated. Draco looked down at the floor.

"I'm not proud of the way that I've acted in the past, I know it will take a long time for people to realize that I've changed. I'll have to deal with people giving me crap but it doesn't matter to me. Nothing they say can hurt me." Draco said quietly. Once everyone was finished talking Draco,Hermione and Carmilla returned to their dormitories to change their clothes before time resumed. When they arrived at the potrait of the fat lady Draco gave Carmilla a quick kiss on the cheek.

"I'll meet you right here once your done changing so that we can go to the great hall for dinner." Draco said.

"Okay" Carmilla replied. Carmilla and Hermione entered the potrait and ran to their dormitory so that they could change quickly. Once they were done changing they each charmed their dress to look like an ordinary dress.

"You ready to face the rest of the school?" Hermione asked.

"I'm not afraid of the school, its Harry and Ron that I'm afraid of. What if they don't want to be friends with me? What if they make me choose them over Malfoy?" Carmilla stuttered.

"Don't worry I know their going to react badly when you walk in the great hall. But they'll get used to it. If they don't I'll just have to make their lives a living hell. It won't be that hard I just won't let them copy off of me." Hermione said lightly.

"I hope your right I don't want to lose friends I don't know if you noticed I don't have that many to begin with."
