The moment is finally here. Time of for Luna and Lucius to be bonded in Magical Matrimony. I have to say I've had the best time planning and writing their wedding. It's almost like getting married myself...
Lucius stood next to the Ministry Official. He had clasped his trembling hands behind his back in an attempt to disguise the nervousness he was feeling. He had no right to be marrying this girl. No right at all. She was pure and gentle, sweet and untouched. Well, mostly untouched he thought wryly.
Gazing out at the crowd he resisted the urge to shake his head in wonder. Wonder at the surprising number of Witches and Wizards who had come to his home to attend the wedding. Witches and Wizards who a year ago wouldn't have set foot in Malfoy Manor, even if you'd held a wand to their heads. But he knew they were not here for him. They were here for Luna. Following the war, Lucius could count the number of friends he had remaining on one hand and still have fingers left over. He did not deserve this girl. Did not deserve this second chance at happiness, not after the shambles he had made of his life.
But oh, how he wanted her. He closed his eyes and momentarily remembered the feel of her beneath him, the feel of her skin pressed against his. His eyes opened as the first strains of Trumpet Voluntary reached his ears.
Glancing down the aisle he smiled as his son appeared with Mrs. Snape on his arm. His magnificent, beautiful son, who despite all his failings as a father, continued to loved him. His heart swelled with pride as he watched Draco move gracefully down the aisle. Draco had risen above the events of the past and was making a name for himself in the Magical community as a brilliant businessman and leader. Lucius reached out and gently rubbed his son's back as he took his place by his side.
Turning his head he looked back down as Severus Snape and Mrs. Potter made their way down the aisle. Poor shy Severus, more comfortable in his dungeons then in the limelight. Lucius smiled with love for his friend, who despite his obvious discomfort was willing to have all eyes on him and stand beside his best friend on the day of his wedding. Glancing at Hermione he saw that her eyes were filled with love and adoration as she watched her husband make his way down the aisle. Lucius' heart swelled again. If there was anyone in the world who deserved love and adoration, it was Severus, who had fought so hard and given up so much.
Lucius felt faint and his hands trembled violently as the first strands of the bridal march began to play. He was vaguely aware of the guests standing to face the closed French doors at the back of the room. His heart pounded in his chest and he closed his eyes, struggling to regain his composure. He opened them again when he heard soft applause.
Lucius' heart leapt to his throat and everything around him seemed to disappear as he gazed down the aisle at Luna, his bride to be. He had remembered her as being lovely, but the girl, no woman before him now was beyond description. She looked poised and elegant, while at the same time retaining an almost wild feral quality about her. The beating of his heart drowned out all other sounds as he watched her gracefully glide down the aisle towards him. Draco nudged him and hissed "Father" and he realized she was already there, at his side, holding out her hands to him. He slowly pulled his trembling hands out from behind him and placed them gently into hers.
Luna smiled shyly as she held his shaking hands. His eyes were filled with wonder and fear as he stared down at her. Gazing up into his beautiful face, she ran her thumbs gently over his as the Ministry Official began to speak.
Lucius tried desperately to focus on what the man was saying, but the pounding of his heart and the roaring in his ears made it difficult to focus. He was surprised when Draco stepped forward and placed Luna's wedding band into his hand, his eyes widened even further when he placed something into Luna's hand as well.
"Mr. Malfoy, please repeat after me. I, Lucius Abraxas Malfoy take you Luna to be my magically bonded wife."
When Lucius began to speak his voice squeaked and cracked. Clearing his throat he spoke firmly, repeating the official's words.
"Now place the ring on her finger and repeat. "With this ring, I thee wed."
Lucius grasped her tiny hand in his and carefully slid the diamond encrusted ring on her finger. "With this ring I thee wed."
"Now your turn Luna." The official turned to face her.
Lucius' heart pounded as he listened to the musical lilt of her voice. "I, Luna Lovegood, take you Lucius Abraxas Malfoy to be my magically bonded husband." His eyes widened in shock and wonder as she slid a beautiful silver band on his finger. "With this ring I thee wed."
Lucius' eyes burned with tears as he stared down at the ring on his finger.
"Please grasp your left hands, wrist to wrist."
Lucius skin seemed to burn as Luna wrapped her tiny hand around his left arm. His own hand felt obscenely large as he wrapped it around her delicate wrist.
"Lucius Abraxas Malfoy." The official was speaking again. "Do you take Luna to be your magically bonded mate? Do you promise to love, honor and protect her as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." His voice sounded strange and breathy to his ears.
"And Luna, do you take Lucius to be your magically bonded mate? Do you promise to love, honor and protect him as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." Luna voice was like the chime of a bell in the quiet room.
Lucius stared down and watched as the official touched their clasped hands with his wand. Strands of gold and silver light threaded and twisted around their wrists and hands interlocking and binding them together.
"What magic hath bound together let no one rip asunder." The ministry official concluded. "Mr. Malfoy you may kiss your bride."
Lucius bent down and tenderly pressed his lips to the side of Luna's mouth. When their lips touched the gold and silver threads of light exploded into a shower a sparks.
"I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Lucius Malfoy.
Lucius was surprised by the loud applause and cheers that rose from the crowd. Luna's hand was pulled from his as Mrs. Snape and Mrs. Potter grabbed her away to hug her fiercely.
"Well old boy." Severus slapped him on the back. "How do you feel?"
"Stunned." Lucius muttered, his eyes still focused on Luna.
