Chapter 48
There were people, lots of people. All dressed up, looking at her smiling. There were flowers scattered around the ballroom, making everything appear magical.
"Ummm, what's going on?" she asked, finally finding her voice.
Tom approached her, dressed in a navy blue Muggle suit. He took Hermione's hand, pressing a kiss to the back of it.
"Tom?" she asked, a hint of warning in her voice.
He smirked. "I thought we could get married today."
Hermione's eyes widened. "What? Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious! I wouldn't have gone through all this planning with Narcissa if I wasn't," he said. He took in her appearance, smiling. "You look lovely."
"But I'm not dressed for a wedding," she protested, looking around nervously.
"Nonsense, Hermione, you're wearing white and that's all that matters. And to be perfectly honest, you could be wearing a potato sack and I'd want to marry you." He wrapped his arms around her, placing a gentle kiss on her lips.
"I'm nervous," she whispered, glancing at everyone.
"I know, me too," he said.
She could tell by the look in his eyes that he was serious.
"But Hermione, will you please do me the honor of marrying me and making me the luckiest man in the world?" he asked, smiling at her.
"Yes, as long as you promise to stop being so cheesy," she said, leaning forward to kiss him.
He turned and nodded to Narcissa, who started instructing everyone to take their seats. Tom kissed the back of her once more before going to wait at the end of the make shift aisle.
A small cough formed behind her.
Turning, she saw Lucius standing there, dressed as impeccably as always. "I believe, Madame, I shall be escorting you down the aisle," he said, offering her his arm.
"Lucius, thank you," she cried, throwing her arms around him and hugged him as best as she could. The babies kept getting in the way, and she dreaded the rest of her pregnancy. She was sure to become as large as a house!
"You look lovely, Hermione," he commented, pleased when he saw her blush. "It has been an honor to have you in my home. I've come to think of you as a daughter and I hope that we will always remain close."
Hermione nodded, feeling the tears well in her eyes. "Lucius, I'd really like that."
He smiled. The music started to play. "Well, I think it's time."
Slowly, the two of them made their way down the aisle. Hermione didn't pay any attention to who was there. She was sure it was people closest to Tom and the Malfoys. All she could focus on was the man standing at the end of the aisle.
And he was hers. All hers.
Once they reached Tom, Lucius kissed the back of her hand before placing it in Tom's waiting one. She felt chills run up her spine.
Glancing over, she was surprised to see Kingsley standing there. Apparently he'd be the one to conduct their ceremony.
"I'm happy for you," he said, leaning over to whisper in her ear.
"Thank you," she said, giving him a grin. She turned back to Tom, surprised to see all that love in his eyes. "I love you," she whispered.
"And I love you," he said back, his hear feeling as though it might burst.
"Attention everyone. It's time to begin," Kingsley said, gaining everyone's attention. Summoning a red ribbon, he tied it around Hermione and Tom's hands. "This red ribbon symbolizes the desire, passion, and vitality of the love this couple has for each other. It also symbolizes the community's support and recognition of their bond. If there is anyone who objects to this bond, speak now or forever remain in silence."
Thankfully, not a soul spoke out.
"Now, Tom, you may tell Hermione your vows," he said, his rich voice carrying out over the gardens.
He nodded. "I, Tom Marvolo Riddle, Jr, promise you, Hermione Jean Granger, that I will be your husband from this day forward, to love and respect you, to support and to hold you, to make you laugh and to be there when you cry… to softly kiss you when you are hurting, and to be your companion and your friend on this journey that we will now make together."
Hermione felt the tears leak from the corner of her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she repeated the vow. "I, Hermione Jean Granger, promise you, Tom Marvolo Riddle, Jr., that I will be your wife from this day forward, to love and respect you, to support and to hold you, to make you laugh and to be there when you cry." She stopped for a moment, needing a moment to collect herself. The crowd awed unanimously when they heard her sniffle. "To softly kiss you when you are hurting, and to be your companion and your friend on this journey that we will now make together."
"These two people, united by love and hope, are now bound to each other." Waving his wand, Kingsley cut the ribbon.
Hermione immediately reached up and wiped away her tears.
Kingsley handed Hermione a small band, and gave Tom one as well.
"As these circles are designed without an ending, they speak of eternity. May the incorruptible substance of these rings represent a love glowing with increasing luster through the years. Bless these rings which you give to each other as the sign of your love, trust, and faithfulness."
Tom took the ring, slowly sliding it onto Hermione's finger. "Take this ring as a sign of my love, and as a symbol of all that we share, in token and pledge, of my constant faith and abiding love."
Hermione sniffled, looking at the simple band. It was white gold, plain and simple. "Absolutely perfect," she whispered.
Kingsley coughed, glancing at her.
"Oh, right," she muttered, clearly embarrassed. Taking the ring, she slid it onto Tom's finger. "Take this ring as a sign of my love, and as a symbol of all that we share, in token and pledge, of my constant faith and abiding love."
"These rings exchanged symbolize the couple's desire to be faithful to each other and to share the rest of their lives together." He smiled at them both. "Now that you have joined yourselves in matrimony, may you strive always to meet this commitment with the same spirit you now exhibit. We all bear witness to this ceremony you have just performed and you may now call yourselves by those old and respected names, husband and wife. Bless this union. You may kiss the bride."
Tom gently placed his hands on Hermione's hips, leaning forward to brush his lips against hers.
Pulling away, he grinned.
However, Hermione wasn't feeling very satisfied. She grabbed his head, pulling him down for a rougher and longer kiss.
It was only after they heard a few cat calls and coughs that the couple broke apart.
Hermione was bright red.
"Come on, there's going to be music and dancing, and I'm determined to sweep you off your feet," Tom said, leading her to the part of the ballroom where the reception would take place.
At once he swept her up into a waltz, the two of them twirling around the room.
"I can't believe we just got married," Hermione whispered, still feeling like she was dreaming.
"Well, we did. You're Mrs. Riddle now," he said, leaning forward to nuzzle her neck.
"I think I like the sound of that," she whispered before kissing him passionately.
