A/N: Written for the Christmas Challenge at dhr_xmasfic, Day 02. On the Second Day of Christmas My True Love Gave to Me... Two Meddling Mothers.


"I just got back from Molly's. She said that all her children had gotten married in the backyard of the Burrow, and that she would be honoured to host my wedding as well. It was rather touching," Hermione said, flopping down next to her fiancé on the couch.

"Great," Draco replied. "However, my mother insists we get married at Malfoy Manor. Apparently it's a long standing family tradition. Oh, and she says the flowers you picked out were tacky."

Hermione began messaging her temples. "I didn't pick the flowers, Molly did. I wanted daisies, but Molly said that wouldn't be a good choice for a wedding, so we went with roses."

"Well, mother insists on lilies," Draco said, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"So, no matter what we do, somebody is going to get mad at us," Hermione surmised.

"And I thought that facing the Dark Lord had been terrifying. But compared to two meddling mothers, the guy looks about as scary as a flubberworm."

"This is ridiculous," Hermione groaned. "I thought this was supposed to be the happiest day of our life, not the one of our friends and families."

"Well, all I need is you, in a white dress, promising to spend the rest of your life with me. We could elope right now, and I'd be happy," Draco said.

Hermione looked at her fiancé for a moment and then took out her wand, changing her simple clothes to a floor-length, white dress.

"Ready when you are!"
