Chapter Twenty-Five
Draco was eating breakfast prepared by their house elf Dippy when two unfamiliar owls flew into the kitchen.
One landed near Andromeda and the other at Draco’s elbow.
Draco smirked, “Draco and Harry Potter, I like the sound of that.” he opened the letter, he chuckled, “I knew it, ‘You are cordially invited to the Bonding of Narcissa Black and Severus Snape to be held at Malfoy Manor on March 17, 2007 at 2 in the afternoon. Presence not presents are requested; donations to the War Orphans Commission or Hogwarts Scholarships would be appreciated.” Draco laughed, “I see, that will be interesting. I wonder how many will come.”
Andromeda waved her unopened letter, “I invited the Hogwarts staff, the Minister of Magic and your in-laws.”
Draco nodded, “So Uncle Sev and Mother are finally getting married. It’s about time…”
Teddy looked up from his sausage and bacon, “Grandpa Sev and Grandmére? Married?”
Draco nodded, “Yes, married, like your Dad and myself.”
Teddy bounced in his chair, “Will that make Grandmére smile more?”
Harry ruffled his teal hair, “I hope so your Grandmére is a wonderful person…”
Teddy grinned, “She gives us good cookies…not like Nana’s though.”
Draco nodded, “Nana tells Dippy to leave the kitchen when she makes cookies. At the Manor, Dippy’s friends make the cookies…”
XoooooX
The day of his mother’s Bonding dawn clear and bright Draco, Harry, Andromeda and the children had spent the night. His mother had rooms set up for the children if they spent the night, which happened at least once a month since his father passed away. Lily slept in Andromeda’s room, Teddy and Jaime shared a queen-sized bed while Scorpius and Albus shared Draco’s old crib.
Their Dippy made them breakfast while Andromeda supervised the ceremony’s set up, the marriage of a War hero to the widow of a Death Eater was an unusual affair but Minister Shacklebolt had agreed to perform the Ceremony regardless. The post-humus award of the Order of Merlin to the obviously not dead Severus Snape; Potions Master, Former Head of Slytherin, Former Headmaster and War hero had been represented at meeting of the Wizengamot not long after Severus, Harry and Draco’s official first meeting as voting members.
There was an Arch of Ivy for the couple to stand beneath and rows of chairs for the guests. Ron and Hermione may not attend but the rest of the Weasleys had agreed, they were family after all.
Draco helped his protesting Godfather and soon to be stepfather get ready, smirking as he forced Uncle Sev to do away with the unglamorous charm the former Headmaster insisted on using, “It’s Mother’s wedding day, I won’t have you using that spell. You will look good.” Under his expert hands he managed to style the not so oily black hair into something rather good looking, he pointed at the outfit on the bed, “Wedding present. Not fussing or I’ll let Teddy and Jaime in to tell you to do as I say.”
Severus growled but did as his godson insisted, “We said no presents…”
It was a black velvet robe edged with silver, the inside was green silk, there were black linen pants and a crisp grey shirt with a Slytherin tie and a green and silver snake tie pin.
Draco smirked, “Impressive, I say even Professor Slughorn wouldn’t recognize you, much less Harry.”
Severus looked at himself in the mirror, “I do look somewhat dashing, I had forgotten what I looked like without the unglamorous charm.” his stringy, oily black hair, sallow skin and hook nose were gone; in its place was clear pale skin- a little peachier then Draco’s, a more aristocratic nose and wavy shoulder length black hair- not unlike Sirius’ before Azkaban.
Draco nodded, “Mother should be pleased, so shall we go?”
XoooooX
The Ceremony would be more Bonding then Wedding, they were going for a traditional ceremony. It was a second marriage for Narcissa and a first for the man she’d always loved.
All of the important Hogwarts staff had come; Headmistress McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, -Head of Ravenclaw, Professor Longbottom- Head of Gryffindor, Professor Ernie McMillan-Head of Hufflepuff and Professor of Ancient Runes, Professor Hermione Weasley- Muggle Studies, Rubeus Hagrid- Gamekeeper and Care of Magical Creatures Professor [Who was rumored to be retiring soon to live in France] and Professor Slughorn- Potions and Head of Slytherin who had been Head when Narcissa and Severus were both students. The ceremony had been planned over the Spring Holidays, so the Professors would be able to attend more for Severus Snape‘s sake then Narcissa‘s. He had proven he was a good man during the Battle; the death of Albus Dumbledore had long since been ruled a mercy killing. Through Harry’s testimony after the Battle of Hogwarts, the fact that the Headmaster was dying slowly and painfully due to destruction of a Horcrux that contained a fraction of the Dark Lord’s evil soul’s attempt to prevent it’s own destruction.
The Weasleys, kids and all minus Ron came; Charlie as the father of Blaisé’s child would not have been able to skip his fiancé’s former Head of House’s Bonding Ceremony.
Andromeda was Narcissa’s witness while Draco had been asked by his godfather to serve as his. Teddy and Jaime were reprising their roles as quill bearers.
Minister Shacklebolt began, "We should begin; Do you Severus Aleric Prince Snape take Narcissa Alethea Black-Malfoy to be bonded one to another? To guide, comfort, provide and to care for her children? Her wealth will be your wealth and your wealth hers…"
Severus nodded, "I take Narcissa Alethea Malfoy nee Black to be bonded one to another. To guide, comfort, provide and care for her children. What's mine is hers and what's hers is mine."
"Do you Narcissa Alethea Black-Malfoy take Severus Aleric Prince Snape to be bonded one to another? To guide, comfort, provide and to care for his children? His wealth will be your wealth and your wealth his…"
Narcissa smiled up at Severus, "I take Severus Aleric Prince Snape to be bonded one to another. To guide, comfort, provide and care for our children and grandchildren alike. What's mine is his and what's his is mine."
It had been a shock to Harry that a woman who seems to be devoted to blood purity as Narcissa Malfoy would have been in love with a half-blood like Snape. She had played her role as a Black to perfection even threatening to shop elsewhere when confronted by himself, Ron and Hermione in Madam Malkin’s. She had stood by her husband during his first trial after the Department of Ministry battle. Narcissa had looked out for Snape, ensuring her former husband Lucius always spoke well of him and even made him Draco’s godfather. Then again it was Snape she ran to when her son was in danger and begged him to do everything he could to keep Draco safe. He was glad she was getting a chance at true happiness, Snape deserved someone who loved him the way his former teacher had always loved him mother.
As Narcissa and Severus signed the Bonding contract, magic leapt from the parchment entwining around their wrists with silver and gold chains. Magic flickered between them but it was stronger just then before it transformed to simple rings, gold for Narcissa and silver for Severus. The witnesses; Andromeda and Draco signed the contract as well.
Minister Shacklebolt held out his wand as Percy sealed the scroll, "Let us bless the couple…"
"As it is written…so let it be…" the small crowd of Professors, Blacks and Weasleys took up the chorus.
Draco hugged Severus, “Welcome to the family, officially I mean.”
Teddy and Jaime grabbed his legs, “Grandpa Sev!”
Severus seemed to struggle to appear unaffected by the small boys’ affection and then crouched down.
They leapt on him, hugging him unaware the stoic man was highly embarrassed.
All of the guests tried not to laugh at the poor man.
Draco and Andromeda pulled them off, Draco sighed, “Teddy, that’s enough. Go play with Georgia and Freda. Take Jaime with you…”
The adults came up to offer congratulations to the newly Bonded Couple.
Slughorn clasped Severus on the shoulder, “Since reports of your death proved untrue, if I decide to retire again would you be interested in your old post?”
Severus appeared to think, “I did enjoy being Head of my old house, though I did want Defense Against the Dark Arts more then Potions.”
Minerva came up, “I really am sorry for not realizing you were Dumbledore’s man until the end of your service at Hogwarts. If you are ever interested in returning, I would enjoy having you back.”
Flitwick nodded, “It is lonely now, with Professor Sprout retired and you gone.” they had been friends and colleagues for many years.
Severus chuckled, “I was informed of Neville’s exploits during the battle as well as what I didn’t discover during my short service as Headmaster. He proved worthy of his house, I am sure he is serving admirably as Head of Gryffindor and as the Professor of Herbology. I never did get a chance to thank the boy for slaying the snake that nearly killed me.”
Neville heard his former potions teacher praising him and nearly fainted, “Professor!” he squeaked.
“Oh come on Longbottom, you’re a man and a war hero. Grow up, I’m not a professor, I can’t give you detention. Just because you are abysmal at potions never meant you failed at everything else.”
Neville glanced at Ginny who had steadied him, “I guess I haven’t failed at everything else.”
Luna appeared at their sighed, “Hello Professor Snape and Draco’s mother. It’s a nice day for a Wedding. Interesting crowd.”
Severus said dryly, “Oh look it’s my three favorite students from when I was Headmaster.”
Draco pouted, “Sev, I thought I was your favorite student…”
Severus chuckled, “I never said I had a favorite student, it is definitely not Professor Granger-Weasley nor Auror Weasley.”
That was sadly a very true statement…
The guests started to leave, Draco noticed the boys were tired, Harry looked like his arms were falling asleep. Molly had held Lily for the ceremony, while Fleur held Scorpius- his son seemed fond of the Veela Witch while Harry held Albus. The babies were grouchy, he sighed, “So should we take them home or put them down to sleep here…”
Harry smiled, “Let’s go home, the children will sleep better in their actual beds.”
Draco held out his arms for Scorpius while Andromeda went to reach for Lily.
Severus beat her to the little girl “Let me…”
Andromeda took Albus instead letting Harry carry a sleepy Jaime.
Teddy stumbled at their side; Victoire ran up and kissed his cheeks, “Bye bye Teddy…” the small boy blushed, “Vicki…”
Draco smiled, that would be an interesting couple when they were older.
