A Wedding Story: Chapter Eleven: By ladybrandon

Harry and Severus stared at each other for a few seconds before they were pulled back to the present by the headmaster clearing his throat. The two continued looking confused as they both neared the front of the Great Hall. Once they were standing side by side, they looked pleadingly at Albus, wanting to know what this was about.
Albus, who had initially gasped when he realized who the wedding was for, had regained his composure, and was smiling, his eyes twinkling more vividly than ever. Returning his gaze to the parchment in front of him, he started to speak, but before he could get a word out, Severus interrupted him.
Almost in a whisper, Severus pleaded with the man to stop what he was about to say. �Albus...stop this farce.�
�Severus, we cannot stop this, it is �.�
�-I don�t care about what this is, Albus, you cannot force Harry and I to be married.� Severus glanced at Harry and noticed him turning his head away. Not caring that probably everyone was witnessing this, Severus looked at Harry with a look of true concern on his face �Harry, look at me.� Green eyes slowly came into view and Severus could see unshed tears in those beautiful eyes that he had recently fallen for. Oh for Merlin�s sake....does he actually want to go through with this and marry me? And do I really want to marry him? Oh Merlin, yes, more than anything. I never would have imagined this, but if he wants this, than so do I.
Severus lifted Harry�s chin with his long slender fingers and looked deeply into the green eyes that were actively searching his. �Is this what you want? Do you want to marry me, Harry?� No matter the look he had seen earlier, he had to ask; there was absolutely no way he would continue this if it was not what Harry truly wanted. It was bad enough that they had been placed in this awkward position. He would get to the bottom of this, and someone would pay.
Harry smiled, and it lit up his, as well as Severus�s entire face. �Yes, Severus, I want to marry you, but only if you want to marry me.�
Severus nodded and took Harry�s hands in his as they both turned to look at the headmaster; they both nodded, and the now grinning Albus, began.
There had been a noticeable increase in volume when Severus and Harry had walked to the front of the Great Hall; shock was written on everyone�s faces, and a few made to stand up and put a stop to this travesty, as they saw it. But everyone who had tried doing this had found themselves frozen in place, they could sit down, however, they could not take a step forward.
Hermione and Ron stood with wide eyes, shaking their heads, swearing that they were going to get Snape, for this surely was a cruel joke the man was playing on Harry.
The other Weasleys, sat stunned, not saying a word. Hagrid was in the back, blowing his nose and was most obviously crying, as the huge tears were falling on his mole skin coat. There were similar reactions throughout the hall, and if Severus and Harry had looked back, they would not have found one smile among the guests, in fact, they would have seen hatred in most eyes, all directed to either he or Harry. Even Severus�s best man was glaring heavily at Harry. But the blond head was smirking as well.
It was doubtful anyone was paying much attention to the actual words which the Headmaster was speaking, but if they were listening, they would have heard that this union which they were all witnessing would be the catalyst for a new and peaceful world, that it would usher in a new way of life for witches and wizard�s everywhere.
�...It is rare indeed to find that which fills us completely, and it is even rarer to find that which we can complete. With this joining of two such individuals, we are truly witnessing a rebirth; two diametrically opposed souls, ones which were more than likely never destined to join, will do so today. They will find in each other the strength which they lacked in themselves, and together, they will brfourfourth a new knowledge, one which will enable them...�
Severus stood there, still not believing this was happening. He was looking intently at his young Harry, who was about to become his husband, wondering if the young man truly realized what was happening. How can he know that he wants to marry me?
Harry squeezed Severus�s hands and nodded his head, then mouthed three words that Severus had not heard, ever, from anyone. �I love you.� The smiling former Gryffindor raised his hand and wiped away a tear that was falling down his future husband�s face.
Severus repeated those same three words to Harry, whose smile melted the former Death Eater�s heart, and he immediately felt a peace settle over him. He had never been in love before or even loved. Everything was new to him, feelings of caring and wanting to protect someone, but they were ones Sev wan wanted to feel and know.
Both Hermione and Ron saw the two mouthing to one another, and looked questioningly at each other; the two of them, and anyone else one who had witnessed that small act between the two would not be able to doubt the two men�s true feelings; it was written on their faces and in the gentle movement of Harry�s small hand moving across the pale white skin of the Potion�s Professor�s face.
Harry looked to Albus and gasped. Above them, hovered four iridescent figures smiling warmly at him and Severus. Harry nudged Severus, and heard the other man�s slight gasp. It was quite obvious who they were by the robes they wore. Four beaming faces were staring at the pair, causing the two to realize that it must have been the founders who had done all of this...but why?
Both men were finding it hard to follow Albus as they had a million questions running around in their heads. Usually one would pay extra careful attention at their own wedding, but both men were so awed that they could not concentrate properly.
Severus was roused from his thoughts by someone, whom just happened to be Albus, clearing his throat rather closely, as if he were trying to get his attention. Severus looked perplexedly at the man who was pointing at the parchment that Severus held in his hand. Dumbledore mouthed to Severus where to look and what he needed to do.
Severus�s eyes went huge and he emphatically shook his head. Trying to be as quiet as he could, he spoke in a whisper, �I love Harry, Albus, and I do want to marry him, but I will not speak these words to him out loud. They are not my own, and it would be wrong of me to profess that is which not mine to profess. No, if this is going to go on, then it will be with our own words, not those of four meddling ghosts.� Albus�s eyes were again twinkling madly, and he nodded his acceptance of what Severus had said.
�Very well, my boys, you may continue.�
No longer needing the parchment, Severus folded it and placed it in his pocket. He glanced at the four still smiling ghosts and slightly shook his head, but the small smile he gave them, betrayed any misgivings he might have wanted them to think he had. Taking a deep breath, Severus returned his attention to his nervous looking husband to be, and knew it was time. He surely never thought he would be in this position, but he would not change it for anything. He was staring at his future, who had not so long ago been someone the man could hardly stand to be around. Thank Merlin people change...thank Merlin, I changed.�
Clearing his throat, and grasping Harry�s smaller hands tightly in his larger ones, Severus began. �Harry, I love you. Today is a very special day. Long ago you were just a dream and a prayer. This day is like a dream come true. For today, Harry, you as my joy become my crown. I thank Merlin for the honor of going through time with you. Thank you for being what you are to me. With our future as bright as the promises of Merlin, I will care for you, honor and protect you. I lay down my life for you, Harry, my friend and my love. Today I give to you, me.�
Severus smiled through the tears that had fallen, and saw that Harry was also visibly moved by his words. He had not known what to say, he only knew that he could not speak words which had not been from his heart. Somehow, once he begthe the words came effortlessly, as if they had been sent to him specifically for Harry.
Albus looked at Harry and nodded, receiving a nervous nod in return. After a slight squeeze from the warm hands of Severus, the younger man began, voice slightly quivering. �Severus, I love you and I know you love me. I am confident that Merlin has chosen you to be my husband. It is my prayer and desire that you will find in me the helpmeet Merlin designed especially for you, and in confidence I will submit myself unto your headship as unto Merlin. Therefore, Severus, I pledge to you my life as a faithful and loving husband. Whither thou goest I will go, whither thou lodgest I will lodge, Thy people shall be my people.�
Harry was still shaking when he finished speaking and Severus pulled him closer to him and smiled, trying to reassure the nervous Harry.
�The ring please.�
Harry watched as Lucius handed the headmaster a ring, and saw the Death Eater smirk, then wink at him, before stepping back to his prior position. Harry could hear Albus speaking but was not paying attention. His scar had begun to hurt about the time Lucius looked at him, and the pain was growing increasingly difficult to ignore.
�...Harry, I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. Please wear my ring as a token of that love.� Harry placed his hand where Severus could slide the ring easily on his finger. He then glanced back at Ron to see where his ring for Severus was, but saw Ron and the headmaster shaking their heads.
�There is only the one ring, Harry, sorry, mate.� Harry looked hurt, but when he looked at Albus, the man had already returned his attention to his parchment. Finally after what seemed an eternity, Albus annou tha that Severus and Harry were officially married, and told them they could seal their vows with a kiss. Both men were quite uncomfortable with everyone staring at them; they had not told anyone about their relationship, although they suspected there were those who knew. But they had already discovered their love for each other and were not going to hide it now that they were married. There might be those who would think this was against their will, and would be outraged. But Severus and Harry knew otherwise. Even if it had been unplanned, it was not unwelcome by either of the men. They both knew had this not happened, it was very likely that there would have never been a wedding between them.

Severus took Harry in his arms and brought his head down to meet the younger wizard in a searing kiss, one that gave no doubt to anyone in the room, that this wedding, while not planned by them, had been for them, and for a reason. Both men radiated love to each other, and even Ron had to smile. He knew Harry better than anyone, and knew he was not doing this against his will. Ron looked over at Hermione and smiled, receiving a huge smile in return.

Harry slowly opened his eyes, wanting to savor the kiss for as long as he could. He saw a slight movement over Severus�s right shoulder and his eyes grew wide with fear.
With no warning, he pulled away from the warm embrace of Severus and gave him a look which sent chills through the older man�s body.
�Harry, we are not finished, I need to officially announce that the two of you are bonded.� Albus was beginning to inwardly shake; this was beginning to take on the characteristics of his dream and he did not like it one bit. �Harry, please rejoin Severus�s hands with yours.�
�No, Albus, you don�t understand, just hurry up and announce us, now, Albus.�
It says to -.�
�I don�t care what it says, Just do it, NOW!!!�
The two were speaking in almost whispers so no one else could overhear them, but Severus knew; it all made sense now.
�Okay, turn around you two and face your guests.� The two quickly did what the Headmaster requested and intertwined their hands as they nervously looked out over the Great Hall. Harry noticed Remus staring at Severus with a deathly glare, and knew the two would never get along, even for his sake. He noticed Miss Weasley crying, and saw much of the staff doing the same.
�Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you for the first time ever, as a bonded and married couple, Misters Harry and Severus Snape.�
There was a smattering of applause, but the majority of thom som sat in stunned silence, with the sound of occasional sniffling breaking the deathly eerie silence at the obviously content pair standing at trontront of the Great Hall. Neither was making to break away from the other, and in fact, both had their arms around the other, looking very happy.
Harry began backing away from Severus and suddenly pulled out his wand and stunned a very smug looking Lucius Malfoy, who was onlchesches away from Severus. Harry spoke in a calm voice, one which betrayed the terror he actually felt, �No one is going to ruin this day for me, Malfoy, not you, not the Dark Lord, not anyone.�
Suddenly, there were pops heard throughout the room, and figures in black robes began yelling curses at the guests, many of, whom were fighting back. The room had gone from being deathly quiet to a roar, imattmatter of seconds.
Both Severus and Harry looked helplessly at the four founders, looking for nothing in particular, but needing something, anything. Helga Hufflepuff came floating down to them. �The two of you are joined as one now, bringing the lines together. Apart we can do nothing, but together we can do it all. Believe in your hearts and believe in each other.� With that, the ghost disappeared, along with the others.
