Okay I haven't updated in like a week, but I hope you like this chapter even though it's short...

This is basically just filler to build up for the next chapter (the wedding) and then I've got one more chapter planned after the next one and it's going to be the epilogue.

I love that you guys have stuck by me through all these chapters, only two more until the end!

Review!

HPOV

"What about these ones mummy?"

Rose, Ginny, Lily, Luna, Narcissa, and I were in a bridal boutique trying to pick out my wedding dress.

Holy shit.

My wedding dress.

I couldn't believe it. I was getting married to Draco Malfoy. The one boy I swore I would never again let touch me...so much for that.

I smiled and let her lead me over to a rack of dresses that, surprisingly enough, looked like dresses I would wear.

The were all fairly simple with only a few 'eye-catching' details, which Narcissa didn't like. She thought I should wear something big and sparkly. If I'd let her I'm sure she'd have actual diamonds sewn into the dress.

But it just wasn't my style. Something simple. We were having, as per my and Rose's wish, having the wedding on a beach, so I wanted something flowy. Something that said, 'yes, we're on the beach, but this is still a wedding'.

"Here, try this one," said Luna, picking a dress from the rack Rose had pulled me to.

I was pushed into the dressing room and emerged a few moments later.

At first everyone was silent, but then Rose said, "You look so pretty!"

She seemed to have pushed everyone else, because before I knew it everyone was 'Ooh-ing' and 'Ah-ing' over the dress.

"It's perfect." said Luna. "You have to get it."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The dress had a sweetheart neckline made of pleated tulle, beaded lace accents on the bodice, a band around the waist with an ivory flower on it, and it was longer in the back than it was in the front. The entire material flowed, and reminded me exactly of something you would wear to the beach.

"It looks like I found my dress."

"Can't you just give daddy a little hint?"

"Nu-uh, mummy told me not to!"

"Draco, you better not be trying to get my daughter to spill any secrets about the dress!" shouted Hermione from the kitchen.

Draco sighed and stood up, kissing Rosie on the head before walking into the kitchen.

"I would never do such a thing." he said, an 'innocent' smile on his face.

She rolled her eyes, "Yeah right."

He groaned, "Can you blame me? I mean you get to see what I look like."

"And you will too. Later." she said, giving his cheek a kiss before disappearing into the dining room with the food.

"Rosie! Come eat!"

I walked into the dining room and saw Rose place a backpack by the door.

"Planning on going somewhere?"

She smiled at me, "Duh, it's Friday."

I looked to Hermione to see if she knew what that was supposed to mean, but she was putting pasta on everyone's plates.

"Friday?"

She rolled her eyes, "I'm going to Auntie Ginny's."

Hermione looked up at me, eyebrow raised, "I told you last night."

"Last ni - oh," I shot her a look. "You mean last night after we went to bed?"

A light blush tinted her cheeks, probably thinking back to last night, before she replied, "Yes, last night. If I recall correctly you said it was fine."

I chuckled, "Yeah, I suppose I did."

Rose looked as if she were trying to win a food eating contest.

"I do believe Ginny will still be there five minutes later." said Hermione, shaking her head.

Rosie shook her head, "I just want to go. Can I use the floo?"

"You're only 6 years old!" said Hermione, putting her fork down, "I'll take you."

"But mummy-"

"No buts. If you really want to floo we can practice it some other time. For now I want to make sure you end up at Ginny's."

Hermione stood up and kissed my cheek, "I'll be right back."

I nodded and watched as a green flames lit up the fireplace before the flames turned orange again. I chuckled to myself and decided to clean up before she got back, because she would no doubt end up talking to Ginny for quite some time.

After I'd gotten the kitchen clean I headed into the living room and sat down on the couch. I had just about dozed off when I heard someone step through the floo.

I looked up and saw Hermione.

"Hey, sorry it took so long. You know how Ginny and I get." she said with a smile. She hung up her coat and then sat down next to me on the couch, leaning against my chest.

After a few minutes of me rubbing her back she spoke up, "I like this."

"Like what?" I asked softly.

"This, sitting here with you. It kind of reminds me of when we were back in school."

"The Heads Common Room," I said nodding. We'd spent countless nights there, curled up on the couch in front of the fireplace, just being together.

Well, before everything went to shit.

I shook my head, I didn't want to think about that. Things were good now. I was marrying the woman of my dreams in a few short months on a beach in Italy. I was happy.

"I like it too,"

She smiled and turned her head to look at me, "I love you."

I smiled and kissed her, "I love you too."

"Let's go to bed." she said, taking my hand and pulling me up.

I could tell by the look on her face though, that she wasn't planning on sleeping for a while.

Not that I had a problem with that.

HPOV

We had about a month before the wedding, and everything was running smoothly, thank Merlin. All the stressful parts of the wedding planning were taken care of, and I could relax.

"Are you really not going to tell me where we're going for our honeymoon?" I asked, moving to sit on Draco's lap on the couch.

He chuckled, "Nope, it's going to be a surprise."

I groaned, "I thought we went over this already? I don't' like surprises."

He smirked, "You didn't seem to have a problem with this little surprise." He picked up my ring finger and shook it a bit.

I smiled, "No...I suppose that was an exception."

"Well the honeymoon will be another exception." he said confidently.

I smiled and rested my head against his chest. "I'm nervous."

"Why?"

"I just...I never expected to be getting married to-" I stopped myself, but it was obvious what I was going to say.

"You never expected to be marrying me."

I sighed, "That's not what I meant."

He looked at me, as if waiting for me to explain.

"You have to understand, I never thought I'd even see you again, let alone love you again." I turned his face so he was looking at me, "But I am so very glad that I do."

He smiled, touching his lips to mine in a brief kiss. "I'm glad that you do too."

We sat in silence for a while before I started again.

"Will you just give me a hint?"

"No,"

"Not even an itty bitty one?"

He chuckled, "No,"

"Not even because you love me?" I asked, batting my eyelashes.

He groaned, pushing me onto my back on the couch, him hovering above me, "You know I love you, but I want it to be a surprise."

He trailed his lips over my neck, nipping at the skin before soothing the sting with his tongue. "Just let it be a surprise."

I moaned as his hands cupped my breasts, and his mouth moved up my neck.

"Okay," I said, not caring about anything except the man who was currently on top of me.

Who needs to know where they're honeymoon-ing anyway?

So the next 2 chapters are going to be longer than this one because I'm going to be tying everything up. I really do hope you guys have enjoyed the story as much as I've enjoyed writing it for you.

Leave me a review, I'd love to hear your thoughts. (:
