Upon waking, Hermione was greeted with a surprisingly sunny morning for Scotland at the end of March. A wide smile slowly crept across her face.
"I'm getting married today." She said to the empty room as she sat up in bed. Molly came rushing in, pulling back the curtains on her enchanted windows and bringing in the sunlight.
"Up, up, up! We've lots to do, my dear." She bustled around the room, pulling back the blankets, gathering Hermione's robe and pushing it into her hands as she pulled her from her bed.
Once she was standing, she put her hands on her second mother's shoulders. "I'm getting married today." She said again, her smile nearly splitting her face in two. Molly shared her excited grin and said, "Yes, my dear, you are. But not if you don't move your little bum and start getting ready! Do you want Severus to see you coming down the aisle in your bed clothes? No! Now, off to the bath with you." She said, shooing Hermione from her own bed.
Hermione had moved back to her own room for the night, Minerva was watching the baby until Monday morning, and Severus spent the evening before with the men in the wedding. Hermione had no idea what Draco had planned for them all, but she hoped they could keep him calm. The entire week before the ceremony, Severus had been beside himself with anxiety. The normally 'put together' man had been a nightmare to deal with.
Hermione had spent the evening being pampered by the castle's house elves along with Ginny and Molly. They had all been massaged, gotten manicures and pedicures, and facials, before gossiping about the wedding and the baby. She continued to relax in a hot bubble bath as things were set up in the sitting room for them to begin getting ready. As she lazed about in the tub, she lightly ran her fingertips over her baby bump and hummed 'going to the chapel'.

It was a decidedly hung over professor that awoke the morning of his wedding to the sound of someone making entirely too much noise while making tea.
"Oh Gods. What happened last night?" He said, his voice even lower than usual, as he lifted himself from his sleeping position on the floor in front of his hearth.
"Good morning, there sleepy head. Here, take this." Draco said, passing his godfather a vial with light blue liquid in it.
"Why are you so ungodly loud," he groaned, blindly grabbing for the vial as he clutched his head. He quickly drank the contents of the vial and breathed a sigh of relief as the hangover potion did its work.
"Well, last night, David, Harry, Ron and I came over to help you celebrate your last night of freedom, and you couldn't quit whining about how Hermione was sure to back out and run away because you're not good enough for her, so we decided the only course of action was to get you exceedingly drunk. It worked quite well, too." He said very matter of factly, handing the man a cup of tea.
"Harry and Ron even got you to sing some karaoke with them. By the way, your rendition of Johnny Cash's I walk the line was... Life changing. Alright, now you've slept and you are no longer hung over, however, I don't believe your bride will appreciate you smelling like a brewery. Go shower, we'll have some breakfast and then get you dressed. It's a big day today." He finished with a small smile.
Severus stood and began to walk to his shower. He stopped in the doorway and turned around, looking the younger man in the eye with a smile and look of wonder on his face as he said, "I'm getting married today."
Draco laughed before saying, "Not looking like that, you're not. Go on!" He said, shooing the man to his bathroom.

Hermione was finishing up her makeup, as Ginny was putting the finishing touches on her hair, when Molly walked into the room. She looked lovely in simple light teal dress robes.
"Are we ready for the dress? It's almost time." Hermione stood from the vanity and turned around.
"Yes. I'm ready."
The two women helped her step into the simple and elegant dress, before carefully raising the zip and hooking the small closures on the back. They stepped back and she turned to face them.
"Well, how does it look?" She said nervously.
"Oh, 'Mione. He won't know what hit him." Ginny said in awe.
"Oh, you look gorgeous, love. Like an angel. Are we ready to go? Arthur is waiting in the sitting room." Molly said with tears in her eyes.
"Let's go get me hitched!" Hermione said with a small laugh. As she entered the sitting room, Arthur reached for her hand, placing a kiss on the back, then held her at arm's length.
"You are a vision, Hermione. Absolutely lovely. Are you sure you want to do this? Because if you don't, we can leave right now, no questions asked. Just say the word." He said looking serious.
"Arthur!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Don't worry, 'Mione. He said the same thing to me the day I married Harry." Ginny said, smiling.
"No. I'm ready. Let's go get married." She said, excitedly.
"Right. Well, best not keep him waiting, then." And with that, he placed her hand in the crook of his elbow and led her out onto the grounds near the Black Lake. Everything was perfect. Simple white wooden chairs were set up on either side of a shimmering runner of see through teal fabric, flowers lining the sides. Candles floated everywhere, providing a romantic atmosphere as the sun began to lower in the sky. Their friends were seated and waiting for everything to begin, as Minerva chatted quietly with Severus at the alter, waiting for Hermione's arrival. The groom was fidgeting, self-conciously pulling on the sleeves of his robes and tucking a finger into his collar. Draco pulled him back, pushed his hands to his sides, and fixed his robes, giving him a quick pep talk. Hermione watched from the side as he took a deep calming breath and resumed his usual posture.
He looked beyond handsome in his black dress robes, one teal Picasso Calla Lily and one black star Calla Lily tucked into his lapel, his hair pulled back into a pony tail with a black ribbon. Her breath caught for a moment just gazing at him.
An enchanted string quartet began to play itself and everyone stood and turned to see her entrance as the opening strains of Can't Help Falling in Love began to fill the air. She took a breath and Arthur led her to the start of the aisle. She took in his face, eyes so full of love and emotion, it was a wonder she had ever thought him to be made of stone. He was so obviously wearing his heart on his sleeve today. She was sure she saw a tear fall from his eye as she slowly walked towards him and she smiled.
The we're almost halfway, when something began to feel wrong...
**********
"What's taking so long? Surely they know it's time to start." Severus grumbled to Minerva at the alter.
"I'm sure they'll be here any minute, Severus." She said, trying to calm him as he began to tug on his sleeves and collar, suddenly feeling hot and overwhelmed. Draco grabbed his arm and turned him around.
"Sev, relax. She'll be here. If she was going to back out, she never would have said yes." He said, smirking and raising his eye brow.
"Right. She'll be here." He said, taking a deep breath and resuming his position to await his bride.
Their song began to play, and when he looked up, there she was. A vision in blush, her dress draping over one shoulder in a Grecian style and gathered in an empire waist with a small teal braid resting just above her baby bump. Her curls were pinned back on one side with the same teal Picasso and black star Calla Lilies he wore, flowing down her back. He lost his breath. She glowed. He felt so unbelievably lucky to be marrying the witch. How on Earth could he ever be good enough to deserve this work of art, this goddess, walking towards him, ready to promise herself to him for life? He felt a tear escape his eye as she smiled at him and nearly knocked him from his feet. But then suddenly, when she had almost gotten halfway, something went wrong. He saw her face drop and a grimace of pain contorted her features. She grabbed her stomach and would have fallen to her knees if not for Arthur's firm grip on her arm. He felt the pain shoot across his midsection and gasped harshly before rushing down the aisle to meet her.
"Hermione, love. What's happening?" He asked.
"Severus, the baby. Oh Gods! I think the baby is trying to come now! Severus, it's too soon!" She said through clenched teeth, her eyes shut tight as she gripped his hand.
"Poppy!" He yelled over his shoulder. She ran over to the couple and began waiving her wand trying to get diagnostics.
"We must get her to the hospital wing, Severus. I need to examine her. She shouldn't be in labor, she's not due for 2 more months." She said in a firm voice, trying not to show the worry she was feeling.
"Of course." Severus helped Hermione to stand as she cried out.
Her dress was covered in blood.
