Chapter Twenty: The Wedding
Hermione's eyes snapped open at the sound of her name. Quickly looking around her, she found that she was in her rooms, and Severus was sitting beside her, fraught with worry.
"Severus! How…you were… I mean, Voldemort, he-" she could no longer hold in the tears. "Oh Severus! I was so scared. I thought I lost you! Please say your real, that you're really here!"
Hermione clung to his robes, sobbing against his chest.
"There, there. It's okay love, I am here, and I will never leave you." Severus consoled her, holding her close. "I promise, I am safe, you're safe, and that is all that matters. I love you, and I always will."
He waited several minutes until she had calmed down, and let her examine him. He then told her of the meeting with Voldemort, and all he had been told, and his answers.
By the time he had finished, it was too late to make an appearance at dinner, so Severus called a house elf and had him bring Hermione something to eat. She did not let go of him until the food arrived.
Severus chuckled as she devoured her meal. 'Those pregnancy hormones must make her ravenous.' he thought, as he bit into his pork chop.
As they ate, Severus asked how the meeting with the medi witch had gone. They discussed it for a while, until Hermione saw how tired he was.
"Alright Severus, you have had a long day, so it is off to bed with you." she demanded.
Without a word of protest, he went, under the condition that she lay with him until he fell asleep. He needed to hold her.
Hermione agreed and lay down next to him, laying her head on his shoulder, and they both fell into a dreamless sleep.
The months had passed, Hermione was now in her second trimester, and today was her wedding day. She stood upon the stool, the swirls of cream and white lace cascading down and around her. She made sure to stand perfectly still and let Lily and Molly help her arrange the dress, and veil perfectly.
Her hair was pulled into an updo, and left small tendrils of lightly curling hair falling about her face. She was using minimal makeup and the gold brown eye shadow enhanced her eyes wonderfully, with a light dusting of pink endowing her lips.
Soon Molly hurried out of the room to check on the time. Lily hurried to finish her assigned job. She clasped a blue necklace around Hermione's neck, and attached the matching earrings to her ears.
"Oh Hermione. You look so beautiful!" Lily said. "I only hope I look as beautiful at my wedding!"
"I am sure you will look beautiful!" Hermione said with a knowing look in her eyes.
They shared a smile, as Molly hurried into the room. "It's starting!"
Lily turned to Hermione. "Ok now. Remember to breath." she advised.
"Yes, thanks for that." Hermione teased. She picked up her bouquet, and together they walked to the entrance to the grounds. When the music began, Molly and Lily made their way down the aisle. When they got to their spots, they gave Severus a reassuring smile.
The wedding march began to play. Hermione took a deep breath to steady herself, she smoothed her dress and clutched the flowers tightly. She began to make her way down the stairs to Severus. The grounds were full of Hogwarts staff, and students. Hermione smiled happily, as she finally stopped infront of the headmaster.
Severus was in awe of Hermione. "You are so beautiful." he said.
Hermione blushed.
Albus smiled at the two of them. His blue eyes twinkling. He raised his arm and cut the music.
"Witches and wizards, warlocks and misers. We are gathered here to celebrate the union, and bonding of one Severus Snape, and Hermione Granger, in holy matrimony." he then asked them to recite their vows.
At Albus' nod, Hermione took Severus' hands and began to speak.
"Severus, before I met you, I was this studious, annoying bookworm who had no time for anyone or anything but her schoolwork. Okay, I am still like that, but not to the extreme."
The crowd chuckled.
"When I met you, it was as if my world was all shaken up, and righted all at once, with you at the center. I can't imagine my life without you in it. Severus, you are my world, my life, and I love you with everything I have. I promise to love you, to protect you, through sickness and in health, through good times, and the dark. I promise to cherish you for all the days of my life."
The crowd was crying silent tears.
Severus began his vows.
"Hermione, before I met you, I was this lonely, depressed being who had no way out. But now, with you, my life has brightened considerably, and I am happy. For the first time in my life, I have a future. I can't see any future without you…or my child. You have made me the happiest man in the world, Hermione Granger. I promise to love you, and protect you, through sickness and in health, through good times, and the dark. I promise to cherish you, for all the days of my life, from now, to the future, and everything in between." he lowered his voice, so only she, and Dumbledore could hear. "Not even time can tear us apart."
"Now, take each others wrists." Albus chimed in. When they had done so, he raised his wand over their wrists. "Do you Severus, take Hermione to be your lawfully bonded wife, to have and to hold, as long as time allows?"
"I do." Severus said. A silver ribbon flew from the tip of Albus' wand, and wrapped itself around their wrists.
"Do you Hermione, take Severus to be your lawfully bonded husband, to have and to hold, as long as time allows?"
"I do." Hermione smiled. A golden ribbon flew from the tip of Albus' wand, and followed its predecessor.
"I now pronounce you married." the ribbons rose from their wrists and melded together and transformed into a marriage contract. It was pure white, and the golden ribbon dangled down. A golden quill appeared in midair. Severus caught it and signed his name, then handed it to Hermione. She signed her name and with a wave of Albus' wand, it rolled tightly, and the ribbon bound it shut.
"I give you, Mr. and Mrs. Severus Snape!"
