How about a little dinner and dancing?

Lucius head was spinning at the number of people shaking his hand and wishing him well in his marriage. Looking around he saw Luna being hugged fiercely by Molly Weasley, Arthur stood by watching over them protectively. He shook his head in amazement. Arthur Weasley in his home voluntarily and not to conduct a raid. He turned when a strong boney hand grasped his.

"Lucius, I just wanted to say 'Congratulations'"

"Headmistress McGonagall." He smiled warmly, placing his other hand on top of hers. "Thank you so much for coming."

"I wouldn't have missed it for the world." She said gazing knowingly into his face. "Are you alright? You looked a bit nervous up there. Oh don't deny it Lucius." She said when he shook his head in protest. "I've known you since you were eleven. I think I can tell when you're nervous."

He pursued his lips and smiled down at his old transfiguration professor. "I was never able to get one past you, was I?"

"You still can't." She said her Scottish brogue thick. Before she could speak again, Lucius was distracted by a tugging on his robe sleeve.

"Please excuse me Head Mistress." He said, bowing formerly. "What is it Hoppy?" He asked, leaning down to speak with the house elf.

"Dinner is nearly ready, Master. Is you setting up the tables now?"

"Certainly. Just give me a moment." Scanning the room he quickly located Severus and Draco. After a brief discussion the wizards moved to form a triangle at the edges of the room. Pointing his wand his throat and whispering "sonorus", Draco addressed the milling crowd.

"If you'll excuse us for just one moment, we will be setting up the room for dinner. If you are seated please rise, unless you would like to be moved with your chair." He paused as the crowd chuckled. "And please do watch your heads."

Stepping back he caught his father and godfather's eyes and counted off slowly. "One, two, three."

The three men raised their wands; tables appeared near the ceiling, spinning slowly. The chairs rose to the ceiling and rotated around the tables, joining them in the intricate dance.

As Lucius focused his attention on the floating furniture, he snuck a quick glance towards Luna. She was watching him with rapt attention, a look of wonder in her clear blue eyes. She smiled shyly when she saw him looking her.

Lucius felt a flutter in his stomach that he hadn't felt since he'd been a teenager. With a completely unnecessary flourish of his wand, Lucius sent the tables and chairs rotating around the perimeter of the room. He could feel Severus' amused eyes on him as the furniture danced gracefully above their heads. Draco rolled his eyes at his father and counted to three again. With a practiced flick of their wands, the tables and chairs settled neatly around the outer edge of the floor, leaving the center floor clear.

"Show off." Snape muttered under his breathe as he made his way past Lucius on his way to the bridal party table.

Draco chuckled and raised his wand to his throat again. "Please make your way to your seats. Dinner will be served shortly."

Lucius palms began to sweat as he went and stood by his place setting at the head table. Luna's smile made his heart pound as he pulled out her chair and held it for her.

"Thank you." The musical lilt of her voice sent chills down his spine.

"You're welcome." He mumbled taking his own seat. He glared at Severus who had a bemused look upon his face.

"Oh this looks wonderful." She exclaimed as the plate appeared on the table."

Lucius reached out and grasped his glass of champagne. He held it up to her and waited for her to take her own glass. "To us." He whispered, surprised by the husky sound of his voice.

"To us." She blushed furiously as she sipped from her glass. Turning her attention to her plate, she took a delicate bite. "Oh this is so good. What is it?"

"It is Wild Mushroom Bruschetta in a white wine sauce. I'm glad you like it."

"It's wonderful. Everything is wonderful." She said gazing happily around the room. "The flowers are beautiful."

"Those actually came from the grounds here. I had them picked yesterday morning. I can take you to the field one day."

"That would be wonderful. I love wildflowers."

"I thought you might." He smiled at her, before turning his attention to his plate. He was both relieved and a little disappointed when Hermione said something to Luna, capturing her attention. The two friends chatted happily through the rest of the meal.

When the meal was finished and had been whisked away by the house elves, Lucius leaned back in his seat and reached for another glass of champagne. He watched the smiling happy people through hooded eyes. Not surprising, few had spoken to him after a perfunctory hello and congratulations. He had not expected anything different. He smiled as he watched Luna flit effortlessly from guest to guest. She was a natural born hostess.

"How are you holding up?" Severus asked, settling himself in the chair next to him. He pushed a glass of fire whiskey into Lucius' hand.

"Thank you." He said, raising the glass and drinking down the liquid in one gulp. "It's surreal. I almost feel like it's happening to someone else."

"Let's see if you still feel that way after the bride and groom dance."

"Mmmmmm." Lucius grunted. He pursed his lips and turned, gazing at the Orchestra as they prepared to start the first song. Standing up, he carefully smoothed down his robes and tugged on his cuffs to straighten them. Taking a deep breath he turned to his oldest and dearest friend.

"Watch and learn Severus. This is a situation where good breeding and a proper upbringing pays off. Dancing with your too young wife in front of an angry mob." Snape smiled as Lucius folded his left arm behind his back and walked regally across the center of the room. When he reached Luna, he bowed formally and extended his right hand to her.

The crowd fell silent as the Orchestra began playing a slow waltz. All eyes were on him as he led Luna onto the dance floor. Bowing again, he placed his hand on her waist and began to guide her gracefully around the room.

Luna could feel everyone watching her. Despite Lucius' strong lead, she found herself having to focus carefully on the dance, counting in her head; one, two, three, one, two, three. His close proximity to her made her heart pound. He smelled wonderful and felt so good pressed against her. She had dreamed of being held in his arms so many times other the past years and now she was actually there. Gazing up at him she didn't notice when Draco and Hermione joined them on the dance floor, closely followed by Professor Snape and Ginny. All too soon the dance was over and Luna found herself being pulled away from Lucius to dance with her father, Arthur Weasley, Harry and even Neville Longbottom.

Breathless and thirsty Luna finally begged off the next dance and helped herself to a glass of champagne from a passing house elf. She gazed around the room trying to locate her new husband.

"Are you looking for my father?" Draco asked, coming up behind her.

"I am."

"He's out on the terrace." Draco pointed. Through the curtained French doors, Luna could just make out the strong silhouette of Lucius Malfoy. "I told him about the baby. I think he needed a moment to process the information."

"Thank you Draco." Luna said, smiling up at him. Grabbing two fresh glasses, she made her way across the ballroom.
