They freshened up a bit and rushed to the room they had cleared up so that they could make the potion peacefully. Hermione took out the gillyweed that had been carefully preserved and transferred it into a much larger cauldron and put lucius malfoys bone in it. Then she started stirring it without heat. It took about six hours of continuous stirring and they took turns in doing it. When it finally did mix the color changed from green to pale pink as required and they were really exhausted.

Hermione carefully powdered the unicorn horn for about fifteen minutes and then added it. It took forty five minutes to mix completely and the color changed from pink to whitish blue.

Then they opened all the windows allowing much sunlight to reach the cauldron. Then they lit all bulbs and produced as much light as possible through magic to add the coral in a brightly lit area. The preparations took half an hour and the mixing took the other half and turned the potion to be grey in color.

Then they applied heat and added the puckwudgie nail and mixed for six hours till only a vile of it was left and the colour and consistency was perfect.

They were really relieved to have made the potion and Hermione fed it to Draco. He collapsed immediately and Hermione knowing that it was one of the side effects did not freak out and took him to the bed. She stayed awake till he returned to senses about an hour later.

He felt dizzy and they went to bed. There were hours of uneasy sleep and as clock struck twelve Hermione got up.

"Are you sleepy? Draco?"

Draco got up too. "No Hermione I'm not I think because we were stupefied for two whole days."

"Don't you want to know tomorrows… well today's surprise then?"

"Yes I do. Better tell me then." Hermione got out of bed and took out a gown a wedding gown for herself and a groom's apparel for Draco.

"Hermione what are these and who… wait… d don't tell me that we are…"

"Yes Mr. Draco malfoy we are getting married today."

"Oh my god Hermione"

"Is it not a great surprise it is your first wish after all!" they dressed up soon and got married in a quiet ceremony where Luna and Blaise had come.

Soon after a whole day of partying in the malfoy style the clock struck twelve for the next day and they rejoiced. They had saved Draco after all of the problems and they were married. She could keep her promise and pledged to keep Draco safe ever after.
