Analessia smiled as she drained her wineglass and stood up, "Now then we must hurry to the preparations and such, we have so much to do and so little time to do it!" She snapped her fingers and the robes folded neatly into the box and she ushered everyone outside, calling for the men as she did, and made everyone help with the preparations for a wedding that the Wizarding World had never seen before.
Chapter 11: A marriage of surprises
Severus stood outside on the wedding stage, a warming charm kept the cool winter night air at bay, but the world around him still looked like a page out of a winter romance story. He knew it was just as Harry specified, the already snow laden ground was charmed to keep under the warming spells and Severus knew he couldn't deny is husband anything. His gaze slid around the wedding stage. He had worked with Andrzej, Dracul, Nicolae, Dorian, Stelian, and Analessia's step-father, Alexander, to create a wonderful dark oak stage that was decorated in the specifications of the wedding which were rich greens and blues and festive silver and gold to offset the dark wood. No expense was too much for the wedding between the Malfoy's, Severus's own vault and the gypsies, it was perfect. He smiled as he smoothed down one of his sleeves.
"I never thought I'd see this day…I wish that Father was here too." Draco said softly from beside him.
Severus sighed and rested his hand on his Godsons shoulder. "I know Draco, we all wish he were." He said softly. Lucius had gone missing only a few short months after Severus went through his turning with Analessia. No one had seen him and by now he was presumed dead, the title of Lord Malfoy, head of the Noble house of Malfoy now fell to Draco.
"At least I get to be here for your wedding Uncle Severus, I was truly honored when you had asked me to be your best man."
Severus snorted, "who else was I going to pick Draco? You are my closest relative and I view you as a son myself."
He felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to see Andrzej pointing to the doors of the house. Severus fallowed his instruction and watched as Analessia began to slowly walk out, the musicians playing the wedding march, as she began the procession. After Analessia fallowed Esmeralda and after Esmeralda fallowed Luna, all three women were dressed in dark blue dresses with silver sashes around their waists holding a bouquet of white roses, forget-me-nots, baby's breath, and a single bright read poinsettia. Analessia smiled and held a finger to her red painted lips and pointed as the guests stood up. Severus felt his breath catch in his chest as he watched Harry.
Harry was being led down the aisle by Albus and James who were both grinning like mad at the happy look on their dads face. Harry looked absolutely stunning in the dark silky green dress robes that shimmered under the moonlight. Harry had opted for a moonlit wedding, considering some of the guests had a certain "sun allergy" and Harry wanted all of his friends and family comfortable. The moonlight played and flickered off of Harry's robes and hair making him look beautiful and other worldly. He smiled and held out his hand to his mate and smiled as both boys gave him a nod and James laid his father's hand in Severus's. He nodded once before they moved to sit down in the front row.
Severus laid a kiss on Harry's fingers before they turned and faced Andrzej, who they had asked to preside over the wedding. The elder Tepes smiled and held out a hand to each of them, and he nodded for them to take his hand in one of theirs, while keeping their own hands intertwined.
"Brothers, sisters, friends, lovers, I bid you welcome." He began, his voice thundering and powerful, making some mortals shiver just under the sheer power of his voice alone. "Today you gather here, baring good will, love, the wish for luck, and the wish for happiness upon Harry James Potter and Severus Tobias Snape." His face beamed as his silver-blue eyes sparkling with an inner light. He brought their hands together and motioned for them to turn to each other. He smiled at the two of them as he held his hands above their intertwined ones. "By the light of Sister Moon, in her full glory, honoring the goddesses of the night, I ask you all to help me bind these two souls into one, bringing love, joy, hope, and happiness so that they may spread it to the world. I invoke the right of True Joy, with the help of Draco Lucius Malfoy to aid in the binding of Severus Tobias Snape and Analessia Lynn Alexia Romina Tepes to aid in the binding of Harry James Potter. I, Elder Andrzej Nicolae Stephan Tepes, ask for you all to join me in blessing and giving these two souls a way to be one. So let it be!"
Mummers of "so let it be" flowed around the yard and Harry shivered as he felt the power wash over him. He smiled as Analessia watched him with bright eyes and a bright smile. His eyes looked back to Andrzej who was smiling as well. "Who holds the coins?" He asked.
Draco stepped forward and held out a pure white handkerchief tied up with a golden ribbon. He held them out and Andrzej took the handkerchief with a smile and a nod as he unwrapped the ribbon and in his hand were two bright golden coins. "Offered to you are these coins, a symbol of good wealth and a richness of life. May you never want for anything and may your life be filled with all the riches that life can offer. Never let greed come between you, and always remember that to share generously with your loved ones and share your wealth between you. So let it be." He opened their hands as mummers of "so let it be" flowed around them and he pressed the coins into their hands before closing their hands over them. The coins pressed into their hands grew pleasantly warm and Severus smiled at his mate before his attention was drawn back to Andrzej who held his hands up again.
"Who offers to bind these two beings into one?" Analessia handed her bouquet to her mother as she stepped forward, a silver knotted cord between her hands. Andrzej took one end as she held the rest coiled between her hands. "Offered to you is the knotted cord of time. Given in hopes that you will honor, love, cherish, and share all of life's pains as well as its joys. Silver is bonding and pure, given by the light of the moon, who's faces change with the day, but never strays too far from the truth that there is both light and dark in all of us. The knots are there to show that life is filled with obstacles and trials, each you face and each you move on to, bonded together with your two souls. Only as one can you hope to overcome the obstacles that are given to you." With each word he wrapped the cord around their clasped hands before he laid his hands on top of theirs. "May your bonds never break, and may you guide each other through the course of time. So let it be."
Harry and Severus shivered as magic washed over them and they could feel their souls being bonded into one. Harry smiled brightly up at Severus, his green eyes glowing as he saw the love shinning from his mates dark eyes.
"Who is offering the hand of Harry James Potter?" Andrzej asked the crowd.
James and Albus stood up, looking sharp in their black robes, and they both smiled. "We are."
The elder Tepes nodded and turned his glittering eyes to Severus. "Do you Severus Tobias Snape; take the hand offered to you, in good faith and trust of one Harry James Potter, willingly and freely given by James Sirius Potter and Albus Severus Potter?"
Severus smiled softly, "I do."
"Who is offering the hand of Severus Tobias Snape?"
Draco nodded, stepping forward again, "I am."
Andrzej turned his eyes to Harry, "Do you, Harry James Potter, take the hand offered to you, in good faith and trust, of one Severus Tobias Snape, willingly and Freely given by Draco Lucius Malfoy?"
A grin threatened to split Harry's face and he knew the smile on his face was of one man stupidly in love, "I do." His words rushed out on a breath causing the elder Tepes to chuckle.
"Then by the light and grace of the moon, in the eyes of the ever changing faces of the Elder Ones, I pronounce you Bonded! So let it be!" His voice rang out and Severus swooped down and claimed the lips of his mate as the guests and wedding party clapped and cheered.
The wedding moved into the actual party, the chairs spelled away in place of tables and chairs as well as an open space for dancing. The stage was set up for the band and the wedding table and Harry felt his head swimming as he was passed from one set of arms to the next being congratulated. He stood talking with one of the many Tepes Clan when he felt strong arms swoop him up into a bear hug. He yelped as he caught sight of bright red hair and he grinned. "I'm glad you made it George."
"And miss a chance to see my brother be married off? As if!" The elder Weasley laughed, "congratulations Harry, you looked so happy up there, I'm glad you finally found your happy ending, lord knows you deserve it."
Harry smiled as he looked over to see Severus talking with Analessia and one of her brothers. "I am happy George, happier than I have ever been in my life."
George smiled and nodded, "it's written on your face. And I know that those words that were spoken by Andrzej were not just marriage bonds but magical ones as well. As long as you are happy then go on and be happy, forget what the rest of the world will say."
Harry laughed, "and what about you? Don't you have a happy ending coming up soon?"
George felt his eyes drift to Analessia, "I think so. She's the one Harry, don't know how I can tell, but she is."
Harry laughed as the two Strigoi in question walked up. He stepped gladly into the welcoming arms of his mate and kissed him softly. Severus kissed him soundly before he tugged his young mate onto the dance floor as the band played a simple slow wordless song. He swept his love around the dance floor and smiled. "Are you enjoying yourself love?"
Harry smiled and nodded, "yes, this was more than I could hope for…but I have to admit I am looking forward to when the guests leave and I can act on my rights as your new husband." He answered lewdly, giving his mate a lecherous grin.
Severus gave a predatory smile back, his eyes glittering and dancing. "Careful what you say love, it could get you into trouble."
Harry leaned into him and nipped at his neck lightly, adding his fangs into the nip. "And what if I want to be in trouble?"
Severus growled low in his chest and hugged him tightly, "always getting in trouble Mr. Potter."
"Actually if you remember it is Mr. Snape now," Harry teased, "I did sign over my legal name to you, Kingsley has the papers if you don't believe me."
Severus gave a low laugh, "you better watch that tongue of yours my love, and it will get you a lashing." He purred patting Harry's arse lightly.
Harry laughed shaking his hips, "ready and willing for you love." Harry's smile then slid from his face slowly as his head spun and he gripped Severus's arm and groaned.
Severus caught him before he fell and held him close. "Harry? Harry, love, are you alright?"
Analessia and Esmeralda ran over with the few men of their family and plucked Harry from his arms. The two women laid him down on a conjured blanket and Analessia took Harry's face in her hands. She took in how pale he looked and looked up at Severus, "when did he last feed?"
"He said he fed before the ceremony." He growled as Nicolae and Dracul both held him back from the women. "Someone better tell me what the bloody hell is going on." He barked.
Her brows knit in confusion, "he shouldn't have worked through the blood that fast, even with all this excitement there's no sun to do any skin damage and he hasn't been hurt. He should have been alright for a few hours at least until the dinner is served."
Esmeralda rolled her eyes as she moved her hands over Harry's chest and abdomen. "Think girl, I know you have a brain under all that hair. Severus and Harry have been life-mates for months now, factor out everything you just said and think to what could be taking energy, blood, and magic."
Analessia's elder brother, Stelian, laughed as he patted his sister's head. "It's alright Ana, you are young, and so you don't know what it takes to have children as a Strigoi yet."
Analessia glared at her brother, "shut up Lian, I am not a child, I…I was just worried about Harry."
Her grandfather nodded his head as he knelt opposite of his daughter and rested his hands on top of hers as they both began to murmur in Romani as their hands moved over Harry's body. Analessia stood up and stepped back looking at Severus, "you should be proud, normally it takes the bonding to help create a child."
Severus felt floored as he looked at his little mate and he felt his head spin as he pitched forward only to be stopped by the two elder Strigoi. "Surely you are mistaken, we took precautions."
Andrzej laughed and shook his head smiling, "we never mistake, children are precious to us and we would never mistake it. How far along would you say Esmeralda?"
She shrugged her shoulders, "probably about 2-3 months, very shortly after the turning took full effect and melded with his Incubi and Wizarding magic. How long did it take for the Turning to be complete?" She asked, looking between Analessia and Severus.
"His turning took only a week. It was very short for him to go completely through it OW!" She yelped as Nicolae smacked her upside the head. "What was that for you big oaf?"
"His physical changes took only a week Ana, his magical ones took longer, did you not pay any attention when Grandfather was explaining all of this when I took my first wife Joanna? Who, if you remember, was a Veela."
Harry groaned loudly as his eyes fluttered open and he looked down to see everyone staring at him. "Um…why am I on the ground? And why does everyone look either confused or really happy?"
Dracul laughed, "seems like you are in need of congratulations, now would you be the mother or the father?"
Harry's eyes grew wide, "What? No no no you're crazy, there's no way-"
Andrzej shook his head, "calm yourself Harry, you don't need to panic. It's bad for you and bad for the baby. You fainted and through Esmeralda and my magic we were able to discover that you are in the early stages of pregnancy. Have you been feeling nauseous or tired lately, or eating more than normal?"
"Tired yeah, but I figured that was from being pulled around all over the place by the crazy gypsy woman who lived in the castle with me. I haven't been sick or anything so that wasn't really noticed, and I have been eating more but I thought it was just nerves or I was hungry, over the years I've been steadily eating more and more because of my just being able to."
"What about blood? Have you been taking more of that than you normally would?"
Harry shook his head, "I've had to double up since I found out since my classes are outside on the quidditch pitch in the mornings. So I've always doubled up on blood just to get me through my day. But since the wedding was at night and I've been sleeping most of the day since vacation started I cut back on blood."
Esmeralda laughed and helped pull him into a sitting position. "That was why you never noticed, everything seemed normal to you. But needless to say you are pregnant Harry, congratulations."
Harry looked around and noticed that the wedding seemed to be stopped in time while the rest of them were working as if nothing happened. "Um…why does everyone look like they are frozen in ice?"
Severus sighed, "a frozen time charm love, when they began talking about Blood I figured it best to stop time so that we could have a few minutes to talk about this before being interrupted by the Minister of Magic, which as you know would expose all of us and probably get us all killed."
Harry blushed and nodded, "right…of course." He grabbed the hands offered to him and was pulled to his feet, he groaned lightly as his head spun and time resumed around him.
"DAD!" Albus yelled running forward, followed closely by James. "you alright?"
Harry smiled at his sons, "I'm fine kiddo, just a little tired. Apparently I'm pregnant."
Albus went slack jawed before shaking himself and grinning. "That's great dad! I've been wanting a little sibling around, though I was hoping for one years ago, but this works out too!"
James just smiled, “leave it to a Potter to top the wedding of the century with a pregnancy.”
Harry rolled his eyes as he was lead to the wedding table and sat down before a glass of blood laced juice was pushed into his hands. "Drink," Severus growled softly as he sat down, "I should have noticed hell I should have been more careful, I'm sorry love, I know you wanted to wait."
Harry squeezed his hand and smiled, "It's not the end of the world love, besides, all the weird shit that happens in my life? Becoming pregnant is defiantly not the weirdest."
Severus laughed as he watched the guests sit down and he stood up. "Thank you everyone for being here, it means a lot to myself and to Harry to know that even after the war we are still welcomed among many of you as friends. Fifteen years have passed and we know a peace that we didn't know before. Many of us used to hide in fear, others were part of what helped stop it, but now…now we can all look around and finally smile. I know I have a reason to." Severus smiled down at his new husband before looking back at everyone else. "And I was just informed that Harry and I are expecting a new addition to the family, it's a good thing we are all in the entire magical world where a male pregnancy is not that uncommon." He laughed as the crowd laughed with him and clapped. "Now, then, how about we eat and continue on with this wedding?" He sat down as house elves began walking out with trays of food and helping to serve everyone. He smiled at Harry and leaned over to kiss him softly, his hand resting on Harry's abdomen. "I'm looking forward to the many many years we will have together." He whispered.
Harry smiled and nodded his head, "So am I Severus, I love you, and I can't wait to see where our life takes us."
Severus chuckled, "careful what you ask love, you know your luck in getting thrown into some adventure."
Harry rolled his eyes as he took a drink of his wine, but now he couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was comming.
