A/N Okay, I really don't have a reason for the really long absence in my updates, but here's the next chapter. I really hope y'all are still reading this. I apologize for the delayed update again, and really hope you enjoy this chapter.

"Hey, Harry," I whispered in his ear as he held me close on the dance floor.

"Yeah?"

"Look at Neville and Blaise."

"What?" He did. I felt him laugh. "It's about time they found each other."

"I'm just glad Blaise found someone."

"Me too. Neville's needed someone to love him for a long time. We were both orphaned and grew up without love because of the same person. I hope they last."

I nodded in agreement. "Blaise didn't have the most loving family in the world either. I think they'll be good for each other."

"Who knows? Maybe we'll be at their wedding next."

I smiled. "Harry, this is our wedding. I know it goes against your Gryffindor-ish qualities, but, for the love of Merlin, forget about everyone else right now. It's only you and me."

"That doesn't make sense, Drake. If I forget about everyone, I forget about you. But if it's only you and me, then I can't forget about everyone else, because you want 'you' to not be forgotten, so I can't forget everyone."

I shook my head. "You don't make sense. Yet I love you. Forget about everyone but you and me. Tonight is about us."

"I love you, Drake."

"I love you too, Harry, more than this whole world can comprehend."

I smiled and put my head on his chest while we danced. I love him so much and I am so happy that he is finally mine. "I'll never let you go."

"I'll never give you the chance."

I smiled against his chest. "Harry, I know I told you this in my vows, but you are my redemption. You are my reason to live."

"You are perfection."

"I'm far from it."

"Not in my eyes."

I kissed him again. "You are the best husband anyone could ask for. I don't know what I did to deserve you."

"You deserve everything you have and more."

"If there is more than you out there, I don't want it. You are more than enough. I love you."

"I love you too."

BOOM!

Everyone started screaming as our bubble of perfection was destroyed. We all waited with baited breath until the smoke cleared with our wands drawn.

When it did, I began to shake. Lucius Malfoy was standing there with fifty plus Death Eaters standing behind him.

Damn.

I grabbed on to Harry's hand. "Why can't anything be easy?"

He smiled at me, even though I could see his anger behind his smile. "Because I am Harry Potter and you are Draco Potter. Nothing is ever easy for the Potters."

"Let's get this over with."

Harry nodded. "What do you want, Lucius!"

"I want my disgrace of a son back so I may kill him properly!"

"YOU WILL NEVER LAY A HAND ON DRACO!"

"He is your enemy!"

Harry held up our joined hands, my ring shining in the sun. "He's my husband!"

"Give him back and we will go quietly!"

"You will never touch him again!"

"Very well. Attack!"

And the most terrifying battle of my life began.

Before Harry began fighting, he turned to me. "Stay safe and don't fight this battle, my love. My heart is with you." And he kissed me and ran.

I was stupid.

I didn't run away like Harry asked me to do.

I ran towards him instead. I was so focused on Harry's back. I didn't want to lose him in the fray. I was so focused, I didn't see the deadly green spell coming my way. I didn't see the four people in between me and the spell duck. I didn't see the curse hit me.

I didn't feel the fall.
