“OK Uncle Tom. This is the day we have been waiting for. You will finally get to be with your life-mate. We have all been hoping and praying to everything that is magical that we would find a way. It took awhile, but Harry did it. I know you don't like the risk. Ginny is willing and ready to try; she loves you that much. We all do!” Hermione's eyes started tearing up as she gave her little 'pep talk'.
'What is wrong with me? I never get emotional like this. I'm the one that everyone else turns to keep them sane and grounded. Oh well!! Time to get ready for the wedding!' Hermione's internal battle went quickly.
Tom didn't know what to say to the young woman before him. This was an emotional time for all of them. After the fight between he and Ginny at Harry and Severus' bonding, things were tense for a few days. Then, after spending those days with Tamah, Ginny requested a dream meeting. Of course, Harry complied. At the 'meeting' Ginny informed him that he would, in fact, do as Harry said if he wanted to truly be with her. It was the perfect way for them to finally be together. Not being able to stand the hurt in her eyes, he reluctantly agreed. Now, today, in a few hours, he would be married and bonded to the woman and life-mate that he so desperately loves.
The only downfall, after they consummated the bond; he would most likely try and kill her due to the combination of Dumbledore's compulsory spell and the one Bellatrix told Crabbe and Goyle jrs to use on Ginny. The pull of the bond would be even greater since they would be in the same room. Something that hasn't happened since the day she was cursed.
Once they made love, it would only be a matter of minutes before he would be compelled to destroy her, as the act would strip her of her magic. He decided that before he allowed that to happen, he would die himself. The happiest day of his life is also one of his saddest. His wedding day would be his death day.
In his preparations for today, he had set up a Muggle bank account and put one hundred million galleons in it and a deed for a muggle castle in a beautiful countryside in her name. She was going to be a muggle and would have to live among them. Thinking ahead, he left all the information about it with his most trusted house elf. She would be certain to get Ginny safely away. Lost in his thoughts, he forgot about the others in the room.
Severus knew something was amiss with his old friend but not what exactly. So he sat watching Hermione tear up over everything, anything and nothing while she helped Tom, Remus and himself finish getting ready for the ceremony.
Neville sat quietly in the corner. He, also, was keeping a very close watch on Hermione. He had gained much respect after that night months ago. Not the he ever cared about such things. Harry had helped him discover that part of his magic had been bound when he was a baby. After much research, they were able to discover how to undo the bind. Since then, it has come to his attention that he can feel things other people are feeling. It can be very confusing. Like now, Uncle Tom is both ecstatic and mournful about getting married. Severus is concerned for Tom and Hermione. Yet, he is also elated about the ceremonies. Remus is very hard to read but Neville can pick up happiness and confusion with a touch of concern. Except Hermione's. She was happy one minute, then confused then angry. And then it was back to happy. All the while very concerned as well. He himself was very confused.
Draco came through the door to let everyone know it was time for the guests to start arriving. Neville was overcome by the wave of emotions that swept over him. He needed to talk to someone about this before it short circuited something in him. Poppy would be here today. He would find her as soon as he could.
As everyone left they smiled at Tom. Who, of course, would be the last out of the room. A fact he was thankful for; he needed a few minutes alone to gather and calm his nerves. He really wished he had Tamah's locket. Every since they found out that the portrait was, in fact, where Sabine had put her mother's soul; Tom could hardly stand to be without her. Being twins and all. However, she wanted to see the ceremony as if she were there in person. Not a participant; as she had done that already. Right now, he needed the comfort that only she could give. The comfort he missed for all those years apart.
'Will you calm down. How many times do I have to tell you, EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE!!!! There is a portkey in the room in case anything happens. Trust in Ginny if you can't trust in yourself.' Harry sent him through their link; startling the man.
'Will you get your Dark Lord ASS down here to the Lily Garden. NOW!!!! or do I need to send an escort for you? I'm pretty sure Bill and Charlie would not mind one bit coming to get you. Judging by the looks on their faces.'
'NO! I have seen both Ginerva and Molly upset. And they are just the women of the family. I am walking out the door as we speak you pushy little twit.'
'Good. Just wait until you see her. Absolutely GORGEOUS!' Harry caught everyone's attention as he laughed at the fierce growl that came from his uncle at his comment.
Before he realized it, being lost in his thoughts about what he knew needed to do, Tom made it to the entrance of the Lily Garden in record time. Everyone turned to watch him as he made his way to the front where Remus was standing as officiator. Severus stood as best man being Tom's best and oldest friend. Hermione stood as Matron of Honor being Ginny's closest friend other than Harry who strongly stated he wanted to just watch everything. Just in case.
Arriving at the alter, Tom glanced at Severus, who gave him a reassuring smile. Which was returned shakily. Tom then turned to Remus and gave him a smile and nodded to show he was ready.
With a quick flick of his wand, Remus summoned the proper ministry papers to make certain everything would be legal. Placing it on the podium, He looked back to the groom.
“You must officially permit me to perform the ceremony.” He couldn't help the smile that graced his lips at the confused look on Tom's already nervous face.
“Oh. I, Tom Marvolo Riddle, being Uralt Prime, do hereby give Remus John Snape my full consent and authority in officiating over my and my life-mate's bonding. He is a most worthy and trusted member of the Uralt. As he is a member of one of the first.”
When he finished, a soft silver glow surrounded Remus and was then absorbed into his being. Said man felt a surge throughout his body as the magic settled in him until it was to be passed onto the united couple.
He then looked up and saw Ginny was ready to join them.
“If you will all please stand”
Everyone stood and turned to watch Arthur walk his baby down the aisle and present her to her life-mate. Arthur chuckled to himself as it occurred to him that his very soon-to-be son-in-law was the ever feared Dark Lord Voldemort; older than he was, and wrapped around his baby girl's little finger.
That ever-feared Dark Lord was currently standing with his mouth hanging open a very un-dark lordish way; watching the most splendidly beautiful creature in the world walk towards him.
'Close your mouth, Uncle Tom. Didn't I tell you?' Harry was trying to calm his uncle.
Ginny was wearing a white spaghetti strap simple silk gown that went all the way to the floor. Covering that is an iridescent pale green coverlet that went to her wrists and down to flow two feet behind her. She had on the Slytherin family necklace; a huge emerald surrounded by diamonds on a delicate silver strand. Her earrings were the same delicate silver with much smaller emeralds at the ends. The flame that was her hair was swept up in a very elegant style with loose ringlets framing her face. She had very little make up on. Just enough to enhance her natural beauty.
Tom could feel his palms start to swear the closer the vision of beauty got to them. All he could think of is how stunning Ginny was and how spectacular the world was with her in it. A though that just reconfirmed in his mind what he had to do to make sure she continued to exist in and brighten this world.
Ginny caught the flicker of sadness on his face but she knew he was nervous about what he may try and do once they bond. She was, as well. But, one time being held, caressed, kissed and made love to by the man that owned her heart and soul was very much worth it. She knew that if he did succeed in killing her that it was actually Albus Dumbledore that was doing it. Not her Tom. Plus, she has the portkey Harry made. Just in case.
She was brought back to the here and now by her father's voice.
“I, Arthur Weasley, Head of the Weasley family, in good faith and mind, heart and soul, do hereby present my youngest child, and only daughter, to Tom Marvolo Riddle, Head of the Riddle and Slytherin Families, for a life-mate bonding and wedding ceremony.” He then took her right hand and placed it into Tom's. Followed by a kiss to her forehead and him going to his seat. As per tradition.
Severus looked at Harry not beign able to help the smile that crept across his face as their eyes met. It wasn't that long ago the two of them were standing where Tom and Ginny are. Both were happier than they have ever been.
Some time later (no boring ceremony details)
“OH Gin. That was such a beautiful ceremony. You are so gorgeous. I am very proud of you! I always wanted you to marry well. Never in my life did I expect it to be to Our Lord!” Molly was gushing like the proud mother she was. And crying allover the new couple. She had been the first to reach them. Arthur came up behind his wife. “Mols, everyone's waiting to greet the couple.” He then hugged Ginny and kissed her forehead. Then, he embraced Tom to officially welcome him to the family.
“Just call me 'Dad' “ Arthur said to him with a smirk. Tom couldn't help but smile as his lovely bride burst out laughing.
The happy couple spent the rest of the day enjoying the company and attention from their closest friends, family, and extended family. After a small, light supper, Ginny wrapped her arms around her husband as she whispered “You know, almost everyone that is going to leave, has already. I think it is time”
Tom swallowed hard. He was intentionally stalling all day to put this off as long as possible. Not that he didn't WANT to be with his new beautiful young wife. He did. Very much so. It's what was to come after as to why he was stalling. As he looked into her eyes, a sudden passion overwhelmed him. He took her lips in a fiercely passionate yet sweet kiss. One full of promises as what was to come.
Before closing her eyes to savor such a love and passion filled moment, Ginny made eye contact with Harry. She blinked once to signal they were ready. Then, her eyes closed and with a nod of his head, Harry sent the newlyweds to their rooms.
“Do you think it will work? I mean, the portkey will take her where she will be safe if Uncle Tom does try to...to....to.....” Hermione had started crying, again, before she could finish her question.
Harry turned to his dearest friend, eyes full of compassion, “yes, Ne. If she activates the portkey it will take her to a secret property warded with Black blood. No one but a born Black will be able to get in until I change that. Don't worry, sweetie. Everything will be fine. Have you seen Lucius? I lost trak of him during the reception. I have some questions about the governors of Hogwarts. Now is just as good a time as any to ask them.” Harry changed the subject trying to avoid Hermione getting any further upset.
“Last time I saw him, he was headed for the study rather quickly.” Neville said as he came up to his friends. He put his arm around Hermione's waist and nodded at Harry with a smile.
“Why don't I help you find Remus?” He said to the over emotional young lady. “I have a pretty good idea where he is and who is with him. Those two have been pack bonding or whatever it's called. I think we will both be better when we find them.”
She nodded solemnly and then walked out the door. Led by Neville as they went in search of their significant others
After excusing himself from the room, Harry left ot find Lucius. Up ahead, he saw Neville and Hermione disappear into one of the rooms. He assumed their wolves were in there. He briefly paused at eh door to the study when he heard voices from inside. Upon hearing Lucius', he knocked as he entered the room. Imagine his surprise when he saw the aristocratic blonde sitting on the sofa next to Petunia. And Narcissa.
“Harry! How nice of you to join us. I was just asking when I would get to see you again. You have such a charming Aunt.” Narcissa greeted him with a hug and kiss to the cheek.
“Thank you, Mrs. Malfoy. Yes, Harry. Please join us.” Petunia said looking a little uncomfortable.
“Now, Tunney, I asked you to call me Cissy.” The blonde woman stated as she retook her seat next to Lucius.
“Thank you, but no. My apologies, ladies, I have a lot I need to speak to Lucius about. Questions about what the governors can do for Hogwarts now that she has been claimed. And about the headmaster. I think it is time Minerva took her rightful place as Headmistress. Officially! And there are a few other things that I feel should be established for the benefit of the students.” The man rose from his spot between the two women and joined Harry by the door. Just before they walked out, the younger turned back to the slightly uncomfortable looking ladies.
“ Cissy, why don't you talk to Aunt Petunia about being a Lady in one of the oldest families in the wizarding world, please. And Tunney, don't look so worried. Their divorce is very much final and Cissy has already bonded to her life-mate. She is not going to keep Lucius from you. You two will be very happy.” Harry said with a smile as he and Lucius went to find another room for their talk.
