CHAPTER 2-
The next morning, everyone was rushing around in their fancy wedding outfits and preparing for a long, awkward day. It was awkward at breakfast when Narcissa found out Astoria was a vegetarian. The bacon she made special for that morning had to go in the waste bin. It was also awkward when Lucius walked in on Draco and Astoria snogging in their bedroom when he was coming in to make the bed. Lucius was beginning to wonder whether this wedding and weekend bonding was a good idea.
After they were all ready to go they all crammed into a tiny blue car that stunk of some sort of rotten vegetable. None of them pointed it out, none of them said a word. The driver of the car was horrible and when they finally arrived at the large, mostly pink banquet hall they all felt like vomiting all over the millions of tiny orange flowers out front. None of them pointed it out, nobody said a word.
They all just stood there in awkward silence, waiting for somebody else to lead them all inside. Nobody moved, nobody said a word. Eventually, another car arrived and they realized just how stupid they looked, and entered the hall.
Inside there were more orange flowers, many chubby bridesmaids, and an extremely drunk-looking priest.
They chose a bench, sat, and waited for the wedding to begin. They couldn't wait for it all to be over.
"Oh hello!" they heard from behind them.
They all turned to see none other than Luna Lovegood sitting behind them.
"I didn't know if you would end up coming or not! I'm so glad to see you!" she continued
There was a tall, thin, brown-haired wizard sitting beside her. He was wearing a florescent purple suit with a black tie with a muggle traffic light on it. It seemed he bewitched it to actually change from red to green.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I haven't introduced my Rolfy yet! She exclaimed exitedly "This is Rolf. He's my boyfriend"
Rolf's face broke out into a huge goofy grin that was so contagious nobody noticed they were smiling as well. Lucius couldn't help but feel sorry for the boy. He obviously didn't know what he was getting himself into.
"I hope the wedding starts soon. It actually should've started a while ago" she said glancing down at the large turquoise watch she was wearing.
"What's going on over there?"Astoria asked, pointing at what seemed to be an argument going on at the other end of the church. In the middle of it all was a glum-looking Neville Longbottom.
"Where's the bride?" asked Draco
"I think that may be what the problem is" Astoria answered "There is no bride"
Luna jumped up from her chair.
"Come Rolf, we must go comfort him" Luna yelled angrily as she darted towards them, Rolf close behind.
Lucius decided to go investigate the situation so he followed Luna and Rolf across the room where Neville was now crying.
"What happened?" Lucius asked a tall, dark haired witch who was gathering around as well.
"The bride isn't going to show up. The owl just came to say so." she stated before pushing her way through the small crowd to sit herself down next to Neville.
"Now I've wasted all your time." Neville sobbed." You came here for a wedding and that bitch isn't even going to show up" Lucius never new Neville could use such fowl language, though, he was definitely in a fowl mood. Nobody blamed him.
"Who said this wedding day was to be wasted?" asked Draco.
Everyone turned to look at Draco and Astoria, knowing what Draco was about to say.
"What are you trying to say?" asked Astoria blushing like crazy.
"Astoria Greengrass" said Draco getting down on one knee " I know this sounds really cheesy but, will you make me the happiest man alive, and marry me?"
"Oh my gosh" Astoria exclaimed "Of course I will" and she jumped and hugged him.
The wedding was short, but very beautiful. The hall was ugly, the Priest was drunk but the wedding was wonderful. Narcissa cried the entire time. Lucius was still shocked about the whole thing. It hadn't quite sunk in yet. Astoria was a nice girl, but would she make a good wife for Draco? Though, comparing her to his previous girlfriend, Pansy Parkinson, she really seemed like a wonderful girl, and beautiful too. Even if Lucius didn't like her, there's nothing he could've done. She seemed to make Draco happy, and that's what's most important.
After the wedding, everyone piled into the reception room down the hall, happy to be out of that horrible chapel. The reception hall, however, was quite a bit uglier than the chapel, with gold and purple plastic doves everywhere.
"I shouldn't have let Hannah chose the decorations." Neville grumbled while walking in, his eyes still red from crying.
"I think they're beautiful." stated Luna in her usual dreamy voice, clearly unaware of Neville's attempt to insult her.
"I think that Hannah Abbot's a bitch." said the brown-haired witch before she rushed to take Nevilles arm. "We should get a couple drinks in you Neville, maybe it'll take your mind off of it all." and she whisked him away to a far table.
Lucius took Narcissa to go find the table with the least tacky decorations. The best one they could find was one with a large ugly hippogriff made of cheap, fake crystal. After they had sat, Draco and Astoria took to the dance floor. The drunk priest was owning the Madonna karaoke. After everyone had had a few drinks, the dance floor became more and more crowded. Even Lucius and Narcissa ended up dancing, too drunk to notice how horrible they were.
It ended up being quite a fun wedding. Even Neville seemed to be having a good time. By now he was snogging the tall, brown-haired witch from earlier. Didn't really take him that long for him to get over that Hannah Abbot.
Draco and Astoria got gifts too, Neville got most of them because everyone felt so sorry for him, but everyone gave a few galleons to the new couple. Enough to get them a room in the leaky cauldron for some sort of makeshift honeymoon for a couple of days.
After the new happily married couple were dropped off at the pub, Lucius and Narcissa went home to go to bed. They were both extremely drunk and Lucius was all ready to pass out onto his bed. He had mixed feelings about the wedding that had just happened. On one hand Draco was still his little boy, and he was angry and dissapointed to see him being taken away by this girl. On the other hand, Astoria didn't seem so bad for him. She was really the only thing that had made him happy since the battle at Hogwarts, and he wasn't going to let his jealousy drive him away from her. As Lucius climbed the stairs he flt like he might cry, but he thought he might as well just sleep and think about it in the morning. He was quite content to sleep it all off- until he got upstairs. He had almost gotten to his room when he heard many voices behind Alecto and Amycus's door. When opened it he saw a room full to it's capacity with people, all dressed in dark robes who stopped their chatter as soon as he entered. He'd completely forgotten about Alecto's plans to bring Voldemort back. He definitely didn't expect the entire clan would show up in his house!
"I don't remember giving you permission to host a meeting in my house while we were gone Alecto." Stated Lucius, red in the face with anger (or maybe just because he was so drunk)
"Lucius, so glad you could join us" growled Fenrir Greyback, terrifying as ever.
"Oh he's not staying, are you Lucius" interrupted Amycus, matter-of-factly.
"And why wouldn't I be staying?" Questioned Lucius.
"I told you yesterday Lucius, you aren't to get in mine or Amycus's way." Reminded Alecto
"Why won't you believe that I want to help you! I was a very loyal servant." Lucius yelled before gripping his aching head.
"You're a coward Lucius, you only joined him out of fear. Everyone knows you're terrified of the dark lord!" Answered Alecto ad everyone around the room chuckled. "If you had any sense you'd leave us and go pass out somewhere"
"If Narcissa found you in here I'd be murdered!"
"If you stay another second you'll be murdered." Lucius couldn't argue with this statement, and after a moment he dispersed
"They'd better be quiet" Lucius mumbled as he closed the door.
He crossed the hallway, and entered his bedroom. He felt a bit like he'd done all this before, only this time, his room was spinning.
He tried to get to his bed but half way he collapsed on the floor, unable to get up and couldn't remember anything that happened after that.
