Chapter Twenty One: Double Wedding:

Harry was happy that school was out for the summer and that Bill and Fleur, and Remus and Dora were getting married. The weeks leading up to the weddings had been pure madness as the witches had all seemed to go mad. Finally the day had come and the bridesmaids and groomsmen stood up at the front of the church. The girls had on long pretty dresses that were made so they could wear them again and in colors that went well with their skin tones. Hermione had a lovely pink gown, Ginny was in a light blue gown, Luna had on a light yellow, and Gabrielle had on a gown of lavender. The boys were all in new robes, Ron, Fred and George, Percy and Charlie had robes of navy blue, Harry was clad in robes of dark green and Neville was clad in robes of deep red. Yet all eyes were on the beautiful brides in their lovely white gowns as they made their way to the front of the church.

"So glad we did not do the bachelor party last night." Harry said to Neville. "It was good to have it two weeks ago and it was fun."

"Yea, it was fun, but I bet that mum made professor Snape come to keep us in line." Fred said.

"Well he has kept quiet about what we did." George said grinning.

"What you did you mean." Ron asked.

"Well we had to see how much Bill could drink." Charlie said grinning.

"I agree, he can hold quite a bit." Percy said.
"So can you Percy." Charlie said grinning even wider as Percy went a bit red. "Oh come on you only live once right?"

"Ah here come the victims." Ron said as Remus and Bill came up to the front.

"Any last words then?" Harry asked Remus.

"Funny Harry you just wait." Remus said.

"Yea we are going get you so drunk the night before you are not going be able to see straight." Bill smirked.

"Funny, really funny." Harry muttered.

Both men were in new buttoned dress robes of navy blue and as the music started they looked down the aisle and saw the two brides with their fathers. Both were pictures of loveliness in their gowns of shimmering white. Dora had kept her natural looks and had her hair piled up on her head. Remus smiled as she walked down the aisle and stood by him. Bill had his eyes on Fleur and both wizards were so very happy as they realized they were going to after this day be with these women for the rest of their lives and beyond. The elderly priest got up and went over the vows with the brides and grooms. Once the vows were said and the priest gave the blessing and pronounced them men and wives the celebration really got under way.

The wedding party moved from the small church and took portkeys or Apparated to a small island that Harry owned with a charming magical inn that he had paid the innkeeper for the weekend. As such the party could be fully magical and Charlie having learned of this had brought a dragon. Not any ordinary dragon no he had brought Norbert or Norberta as he was a she. She saw Hagrid the same time he did and she walked over and nuzzled him clearly remembering him. Harry walked up and spoke to her softly and she purred Harry was pleasantly stunned, he had never known dragons could purr. It reminded him of the roar of his godfather's motorbike that he had taken a few rides on with Sirius. Flying over England on a motorbike had been extremely exhilarating.

"So we were thinking of spiking the punch." Fred said walking up and draping an arm over Harry.

"But I think mum put a charm to keep us from doing that." George added grinning his eyes slightly glazed.

"Did you know…"

"Pepper-up potion…"

"Muggle vodka…"

"And firewhisky…."

"Is genius."

Harry was not sure that was such a good idea but he agreed and moved on to see Ron and Hermione Snogging. He saw Severus and Charity together with Molly and Arthur and Charlie was enjoying a bottle a bit too much with Percy and Sirius. Things Harry knew were going to get very interesting and he was right, as the day turned to a nice summer evening fireworks were set up and went off. Charlie thought it might be fun to include Norberta and went to her to ask her. The gathered witches and wizards were treated to a spectacular sight of a dragon in full flight that set of one blast of fire and lit a long row of fireworks off. The newlyweds cheered at this and took this as their cue to leave for the night. That left the wedding party that included the Malfoy's as Narcissa wanted to see her sister and her niece and had drug Lucius along for the day. Harry was Snogging Ginny when Draco came up to announce some new entertainment.

"Your godfather just challenged my godfather to a drinking match." Draco said.

"I have to see this." Ginny said smiling at Harry, "you want to watch or stay here?"

"Well we can go watch." Harry said grinning. "this should be fun."

"Your godfather is going down." Draco said.

"No your godfather is!" Harry shot back.

Harry followed Draco into the inn and was not aware of four witches watching frowning but not stopping this. Narcissa, Andromeda, Charity and McGonagall were all talking together and they did not want to get in the middle of the drinking game. Still watching was another thing and Charity was thinking of all the things she could do with Severus after the drinking game. Harry and Draco were entertained by the game and Harry was disappointed when Sirius fell to the floor first and Severus just smirked and got up and staggered off. Next morning Severus woke with a headache and sat up wincing and realized two things, one he was naked and two Charity was laying by him smiling at him.

"Good morning love." She said smiling at him.

"Oh Merlin my head." Severus groaned.

"Here, I got this for you." Charity said handing him a small vial. "You have so many talents my dear potions master."

"Hnn and let me guess you liked the ones last night the best?" Severus said.

"Hmm especially last night." Charity said and at the smirk from Severus, "what love?"

"I was thinking on Remus and Dora, you know they were virgins when they wed?"

"Yes, nothing wrong with that."

"No but I could picture what Dora had that poor wolf doing." Severus said, "Molly gave her the Karma Sutra."

"She didn't!" Charity giggled, "oh how that is so, that poor wizard!"

"I know, she will wear him out." Severus smirked.

"Well then I had better wear you out, or I will not look like I am doing my job." Charity purred.

"Hmm you can wear me out all the time." Severus replied.

Though Severus would have loved to stay in bed all day he was sure that if he did there would be talk and that he did not need. Reluctantly he got up and went and took a shower, of course Charity shared the shower with him. They got dressed and went down separately to breakfast. Yet they were not fooling anyone, though the newlyweds had breakfast in their rooms the rest of the family and even McGonagall was there. She looked at Severus primly and he glared back, he had enjoyed himself and she had no right to smirk at him! Sirius came down and took a seat and he too looked smug and happy, he was humming and Severus knew that Sirius must have wooed a serving girl. Life was getting better and better and Severus could not be happier…
