Chapter 15 I do cherish you

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters.

All I am, all I'll be

Everything in this world

All that I'll ever need

Is in your eyes, shining at me

When you smile I can feel

All my passion unfolding

Your hand brushes mine and a thousand sensations

Seduce me 'cause I do cherish you

For the rest of my life you don't have to think twice

I will love you still from the depths of my soul

It's beyond my control

I've waited so long to say this to you

If you're asking do I love this much, I do

In my world, before you I lived outside my emotions

Didn't know where I was going

'Til that day I found you

How you opened me heart

'Til my dying day if you're asking do I love you this much?

I do, oh I do

After a few hours of mingling with guest it was time for the toasts to the bride and groom. It had been decided that Blaise, as the best man would go first then Ginny.

Blaise picked up his glass and tapped it with a knife to get everyone's attention.

"Alright everyone quite down I'm trying to make a toast here. Ok, let me be the first to say that today was a long time coming. I have known since 7th year that Draco and Hermione were meant to be with each other. From the moment Draco confessed to me that he had a crush on Hermione over several cases of firewhiskey, I knew that he would get her somehow. I am so

happy that you two found each other. You both deserve to have happiness in your lives. To Draco and Hermione." Blaise finished and raised his glass in salute to them.

After the guest cheered and the press got a few pictures in while Blaise had been talking, it was Ginny's turn to make a speech. She rose and gained everyone's attention a lot easier.

"I have to say that I never thought the day would come that I would see Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy would be married. They had been enemies for years but look at them now they are in love and married. I've known Hermione since her first year at Hogwarts and she deserves to be happy and Draco you make happy. I just want you to know that if you hurt her Draco I will hunt you down and fong you because she is my sister. Any who to the happy couple." Ginny said raising her glass to them.

As soon as Ginny finished she went over to Hermione and gave her a hug.

"I meant every word Mione, you are my sister and I will do anything for you." She told her with tears in her eyes to match the ones that were streaming down Hermione's face.

"Thanks Gin, I love you too." Hermione said.

Draco looked over at Hermione while she was talking and hugging Ginny. He couldn't believe that he was so lucky to have her as his wife. He had the rest of his life to make her happy and to cherish her.

As Draco was lost in his thoughts Harry came and slapped a hand on his back.

"So where are you taking Hermione on your honeymoon?" Harry asked him

"Well at first I thought we would go to Hawaii but when I tried to get a room at the best hotel there they were all booked and none of the other hotels were good enough for our honeymoon so I settled decided that I would just take her to my villa in Tuscany. She always said that she wanted to go to Italy and this way we will have all the privacy we want." He told him with the wiggle of his eyebrows.

"Hey man we may be friends now, which on many levels is a miracle but that doesn't mean I want to hear about what you and Hermione do in privacy got it?" Harry asked Draco with a comically painful expression on his face.

Laughing Draco pushed him with his shoulder. "Alright man, I'll try to remember that in the future, it's not likely but I shall try. Thanks for coming by the way; it means a lot to Hermione and to me." Draco said shaking Harry's hand.

"Wouldn't have missed it for the world man, ah here is Mrs. Malfoy." Harry said grabbing Hermione and giving her a kiss on the check.

"Hands off my wife" Draco told them as he grabbed her and Harry walked off laughing.

"So can we leave for our honeymoon yet?" Draco asked her in between kissing her.

Hermione giggled "Draco just have a little more patience. We haven't even had our first dance as husband and wife and we have yet to cut our cake." She told him as she grabbed his face to hold him still for a kiss.

Just as they were about to get very deep into their kiss Blaise came walking up interrupting them.

"As much as I would love to let you two continue this, it is time for you guys to cut the cake and the photographer wants some pictures. So let's get a move on love birds." Blaise told them as he threw his arms around both of their shoulders steering them toward the table with the cake and presents.

They all headed over to the table and saw that the guest had already started to gather in front of the table.

Hermione looked around and saw that everyone that she cared about was there to support her in her choices. She looked at Draco and saw that he was already looking at her with such love in her eyes that she knew no matter what happened now she had him in her life. She was now Mrs. Draco Malfoy.

As she was lost in her thoughts Draco was trying to figure out what she was thinking. He wanted nothing more than to whisk her away to the villa and get her to tell while he was ravishing her.

"Everyone it's time for the bride and groom to cut the cake then for them to have their first dance as husband and wife so gather around." Ginny announced to the crowd of guest.

Draco grabbed the knife while Hermione was still off in her own world. He went up behind her and got her attention by biting her ear.

"The sooner we cut the cake and dance the sooner we get to our honeymoon." He whispered in her ear.

Hermione snapped out of her thought process and looked up at Draco adoringly. "Then I guess that we should get a move on Mr. Malfoy" She told him as she kissed his cheek.

Hermione put one of her hands over Draco's on the knife and they cut into the cake. Hermione decided that she wanted to have a little fun and grabbed a piece pretending that she was just going to feed it him as he was doing to her but instead she smashed it into his face.

Draco stood there for a moment in shock, staring at her like she was crazy. Hermione tried extremely hard not to laugh at him but couldn't hold on long when some of the smashed cake fell off his face and landed on his shirt.

"You know, I think that it was a good idea that we changed out of our wedding clothes because if we didn't I wouldn't be able to do this." Draco said as he proceeded to grab Hermione and plant kisses and cake all over her face and clothes.

While the two of them were kissing the elves started to cut and pass out the cake to the rest of the guest. Hermione took out her wand and cleaned both of them off.

Hermione grabbed onto Draco and whispered into his ear.

"Let's have our dance and then take off so that we can start our honeymoon."

"Sounds good to me my love, I'll go tell the band that we are going to have our dance now be right back."He told her kissing her on the forehead.

While Draco went to tell the band Hermione watched him. She was the happiest woman on earth.

"So I take it that you're happy if that smile is anything to go on." Remus said as he put an arm around her waist.

"I want to thank you again Remus for giving me away. It meant a lot to me. I love you so much." Hermione told him as she kissed him on the cheek.

"I was more than happy to do it. Like I've told you several times I was honored to do it. I got to give away my daughter at her wedding." Remus said hugging her before Draco came back up.

"You enjoying yourself Remus?" Draco asked as he put his arm around Hermione.

"I'm having a grand time, thank you. Looks like it's time for your dance."

Draco grabbed onto Hermione's hand and led her onto the dance floor. As they came together the band started playing a song that Hermione loved.

"Where did you hear this song?" She asked Draco

He pulled her closer "7th year you played it for me when we were our common room and said that this was the song that you wanted to dance to at your wedding. I thought it would be appropriate." Draco told her giving her a kiss.

"You remembered that?"

"Of course because I actually got that CD, the only muggle thing I had ever bought by the way, the next day. I wanted to memories this song so that if I ever did get a chance to see you again I could sing it to you."

Hermione looked up at Draco with pure love in her eyes. No one had ever done something like this for her in all her life. No guy she had ever dated and or were friends with every remembered anything she said about music.

"Plus I loved you even then and was hoping that one day it would be me that you married and look here we are on the day of our wedding, dancing to the song that you said was perfect and my love, it is perfect."

Hermione looked up at Draco with tears in her eyes, she married the perfect man. She rested her head on Draco's shoulder as they continued to dance. Draco started to sing quietly into Hermione ears.

"I do cherish you, for the rest of my life you don't have to think twice, from the depths of my soul, it's beyond my control, I've waited so long to say this to you, if you're asking do I love you this much, I do."

As the song kept going they were in their own world. They didn't even notice when others began to join them on the dance floor.

When the song ended they had every intention of leaving for their honeymoon but were interrupted when the band leader said that it was time for the traditional father daughter dance. Hermione just stood there for a minute not sure what to do. She knew that he parents already left and went home. They left right after the ceremony ended. Just as she was just about to go up to the band and tell them that there wasn't going to be a father daughter dance.

Before she got all the way to the band Remus grabbed her arm and led her out onto the dance floor. He flashed her one of his most charming smiles as they began to dance.

"You didn't think that you were going to get away without dancing with me did you? It tradition for us to dance together."

"I should have known. Your daughter is going to have the best father." She told him.

Half way through the dance Sirius came up and tapped on Remus's shoulder.

"Can I cut in?"

"Sure Sirius" Hermione said smiling at Remus.

They both knew that he was feeling just a little left out even though he got to be in the wedding party he still didn't get to be a big part.

"I'm glad that you're here Sirius. Just so you know you're like a father to me as well. I wouldn't have felt right about getting married if you hadn't been here and been part of the wedding party. I also hope that one day you will find the happiness that I have." She told him

"I feel so touched. I love you Mione and I am honored that you consider me your father. I just am glad to see you happy. You deserve it. As for me finding happiness, I already have it with you, Draco, Harry and Ginny plus the baby she is carrying and of course Remus and Tonks."

"You know what I mean; you need to start dating….."

"Hey, I date just haven't found the right girl yet but I will when the time is right. I better let you get back to your husband he is looking a little peeved that you're not already gone yet. Congratulations and have a good time and your honeymoon." He said as he kissed her then let her go back to Draco.

Hermione spotted Draco talking to Harry and Blaise. She walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. He instinctively put his arms around her while he was still discussing Quidditch.

They were standing there so long that Hermione started to get impatient. She decided that she would give Draco the motivation to quit talking and get a move on.

She stood up the tips of her toes and whispered in his ear. "As fascinating as the conversation is, I figured you would want to get a move on because if not then I am just going to go upstairs and go to sleep. I'm exhausted." Hermione told him as she pinched his butt.

Draco got a smirk on his face "Well gentlemen I think we can continue this discussion another time. It's time for me and my gorgeous wife to get a move on." He told them as he started to pull Hermione to the door.

Hermione laughed "Draco we have to tell our guests bye before we go taking off and I still need to throw the bouquet." She said as she pulled on his hand.

All the guests noticed them heading to the door and started gathering waiting for them to make their goodbyes.

"Ok everyone I'm going to throw the bouquet now, so gather round." Hermione said.

As all the women started gathering around Draco took the chance to go check with Ginny to make sure everything would be taken care of while they were gone. He wanted to make sure that the house got cleaned up and all that jazz.

Hermione threw the bouquet and saw that Sirius, in his dog form had caught it and was now running off with it. Most of the women were chasing after him trying to steal it from him.

After they said all their goodbyes Draco took Hermione hand and led her to the fireplace so that they could floo over to the villa.

"So are you going to tell me where we are going?" Hermione asked Draco as they stepped into the fireplace.

"No. it's a surprise. You will just have to wait till we get there now wont you." He told her grabbing a hand full of floo powder and saying Malfoy Villa.



They arrived at the villa in a swirl of ashes and soot. Hermione still wasn't to use to flooing she ended up almost falling out but Draco caught her in his arms.

"I do love when women fall at me." Draco commented as he grabbed her hand to show her around the villa.

"I was falling at you I'm simply just not used to flooing."

As they started through the house Hermione was shocked that it was even more extravagant then Malfoy manor is.

"Do all of the houses you own look like royalty lives there?" Hermione asked Draco admiring a painting of what appeared to be a castle in Ireland.

Draco chuckled as he walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. "Yes, all the houses the Malfoy's own look like this in one way or another and their not just my houses anymore their yours as well my love."

"Right, of course how could I forget? Now as much as I would love to keep touring the house I think that I would rather go to bed." Hermione told him as she pulled him into a long passionate kiss.

"Mmmmmmm….sounds good to me too, I'm tired." Draco said as he picked her up to take her to their room.

As Draco was making his way up the stairs Hermione was busy nipping at his ears and kissing his neck. It was driving him crazy. He started walking faster when she was running her fingers through his hair and sucking on his neck.

Once they got to the room Draco walked over to the bed and threw Hermione onto it making her laugh. He then joined her on the bed lying himself on top of her. He gave her a long passionate kiss. They were both fighting for dominance with their tongues.

Draco won the fight for dominance and let Hermione know it by biting her lower lip. Hermione was running her fingers through Draco's hair and thrusting her body into Draco's letting him know what she wanted.

Draco started to reach for the back of Hermione's dress when she ran her hand down his chest and rub it against is member. She caused Draco to have to break the kiss and take a breath while resting his forehead against hers.

"You're killing me love, let's get you out of this dress so we can get a little closer what do you think?"

"Sounds like a plan to me my darling." She commented to him linking her arms around his neck.

"You know, I loved the way you looked in your wedding dress but this one is even better. With this V neckline and how it swishes when you were dancing or walking around the hall earlier. It was driving me insane. All I could think about was getting you out of it." He told her as he ran his hand down in between her breast then moved them to the back to unzip her.

Draco slowly started sliding the straps to her dress down following it kisses. Once he got both straps down he just took the dress completely off of her. He didn't want to prolong it too much longer. He was already painfully hard, he didn't think that he was going to last much longer.

After he got her Dress off, he just sat there for a minute staring at her. She was now only wearing her underwear that was white to match both of her dresses she wore that day and leggings that were connected to her underwear and her white stiletto heels.

"God you're like a fantasy come true. I think that I'll leave the leggings and heels on for now."

"If that's what you want love but now let's get you out of these clothes because I want to see your beautiful body. It seems like months since I last saw you naked when in reality it's only been a few days." She told him as she started to un-button his shirt.

Once she got his shirt unbuttoned she proceeded to run her hands up and down his chest. When that started to not be enough she pushed the shirt off his shoulders and threw it on the floor.

Draco couldn't wait any longer; he jumped off the bed and took his shoes, shocks, pants and boxers off in record time. After he was completely void of clothes he jumped back on the bed to strip Hermione of her underwear.

Once she was naked except for the leggings and heels he laid his body back on hers. Hermione didn't even wait for him to make a move she just wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck bringing his face down for a long kiss.

Draco couldn't wait any longer he entered her in one long thrust. Once he was fully embedded both of them groaned. He started moving slowly and planned on keeping a slow pace until Hermione squeezed his butt.

His thrust started getting more vigorous as he got closer and closer to release.

"Come for me Hermione, come on." Draco encouraged her as he thrust harder.

Just as Draco felt Hermione orgasm he let go and emptied his seed into her. They lay joined together for a few minutes trying to catch their breath before Draco rolled off of her.

He looked over at Hermione to see if she had caught he breath back and saw the smile on her face. He smiled in reaction to it then kissed the top of her head.

"We are no officially husband and wife. No going back now babe." Draco commented.

"Darn and here I was about to go off and file for an annulment so I could run off with the photographer from the wedding." Hermione said.

Draco grabbed her and pinched her butt in response to her remark.

"You're hilarious."

"I try. I love you so much Draco I could never be happier in my life." She told him getting up to kiss him.

"You're my world now; the only way I could get any happier is when we have kids." He told her as she rested her head on his shoulder settling down.

"What do you say I go get us a bottle of champagne and we have it out on the terrace and look at the stars for a while the go another round?" He asked her as he got out of the bed and pulled on his boxers.

"Sounds like a plan." She told him as she took off her heels and stockings then pulled on his discarded shirt.

Draco went down stairs and grabbed a bottle while Hermione grabbed a blanket and went outside to settle down on one of the lounge chairs. When Draco came back he poured two glasses handed her one then sat behind her on the chair.

'This was the day that begins the rest of our lives together' Hermione thought while she rested against her husband.

"I love you Draco." Hermione told him kissing his cheek.

"I love you too, more than you could imagine."
