A Marriage Made in Heaven…or Hell. Depending on Who You Ask

Chapter 4

The morning of her wedding dawned cool and sunny. It was Friday, so that gave her and Severus a weekend undisturbed. Valencia and Roman had arranged for her and Severus to have use of the summer cottage near the coast.

“Good morning Hermione,” Jennifer greeted as she entered the bedroom carrying a breakfast tray.

“Morning mum,” Hermione smiled as she sat up in bed.

“Ginny and Valencia will be by in about an hour with the dresses. Professor Dumbledore said the Great Hall will be ready in time for the ceremony,” Jennifer said.

Hermione and Severus had decided to get married in the Great Hall. Albus had canceled classes for the day and everyone in the castle was invited. As Hermione ate, her mother entered the bathroom to run a hot bath.

“You nervous son?” Roman asked as Severus got dressed.

“A bit. I’m more worried about what Lucius is going to do. I don’t doubt he’s already planning something,” Severus sighed as he began buttoning his dress shirt.

“We’ll worry about that when it happens. Tell me, what ARE you feelings toward Hermione?” Roman questioned with a smile.

“I don’t know. We got to know each other last year working on that potion. We even corresponded a bit over the summer. At first I just thought of her as a friend…but now I just don’t know,” Severus answered.

“If you had been able to choose your own wife, what characteristics would you look for?” Roman questioned thoughtfully.

“What difference does it make now dad?” Severus countered.

“Just humor an old man,” Roman chuckled.

“Fine, and for the record…you’re not old. I guess she would have to be kind, not afraid to speak her mind. I would like for her to be smart, you know; someone I could debate with once and a while. She would also have to be able to accept me…past and all,” Severus described as he began to put on his shoes.

Roman just smiled. His son had unknowingly described Hermione to a tee.

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

“Hermione, if you could choose your own husband, what would he be like?” Ginny asked as she did Hermione’s make-up and Jennifer and Valencia worked on Hermione’s hair.

“He’d have to be brilliant. Not just in his profession, but at least knowledgeable of other things. Strong willed, you know, not scared to fight and defend what he believes in. He would also have to be a good man with a few rough edges. After all, I love a good challenge,” Hermione replied.

The three women shared a knowing smile as they continued working on getting Hermione ready for the ceremony. Just like Severus had, Hermione had just described Severus perfectly.

An hour later, everyone was gathered in the Great Hall. Severus and Albus stood at the alter. Outside was Harry and Ginny, Hermione and taking Justin’s place was Remus Lupin.

“I’m sorry about your father,” Remus said as the music began.

“Don’t be. He’s made his choices in life and now he has to live with them,” Hermione replied.

‘Severus is a lucky man. I just hope he’ll see just how lucky,’ Remus thought as he and Hermione began walking down the aisle.

“Merlin she’s beautiful,” Severus breathed as a vision of white began making her way toward him.

Harry and Albus smiled, but said nothing. Finally, Remus placed Hermione’s arm through Severus’ and took his seat beside Jennifer. Hermione and Severus shared a soft smile, then turned and faced Albus.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are here today to bring together two people in the binding bond of matrimony. Marriage is a bond that unites two souls as one. It is a compromise between them. Together, you two must go through all life offers. Through good times and bad. You must trust one another and communicate with each other. For that is what makes a marriage strong. Face one another and hold hands,” Albus said.

Hermione handed her bouquet of purple and yellow tulips to Ginny. She then faced Severus and place both her hands in his. Their eyes locked as Albus began speaking once more. “These two souls, individual, are here to be brought together as one. One mind, one body, one breath, and one soul. May you grow stronger together and not apart. Severus, do you swear to honor, cherish, protect, support, and stand beside Hermione?”

“I do,”

“Do you offer your fidelity to her and her alone?”

“I do so offer,”

The whole time, Severus kept his eyes locked with Hermione’s. Albus then turned and faced Hermione, “Hermione, do you swear to honor, cherish, protect, support, and stand beside Severus?”

“I do,”

“Do you offer your fidelity to him and him alone?”

“I do so offer,”

“Severus, lift her veil,” Albus instructed. Slowly Severus lifted the veil. His breath caught in his throat slightly as her lovely faced broke into a smile as she looked up at him. “Take this ring and repeat after me, ‘I Severus Snape, take you Hermione Granger, to be my wife,"

“I Severus Snape, take you, Hermione Granger, to be my wife,”

“To hold, honor, and cherish, for all the days of my life,”

“To hold, honor, and cherish, for all the days of my life,” Severus repeated as he slid the platinum wedding band onto her finger.

“Hermione, take this ring and repeat after me. I, Hermione Granger, take you, Severus Snape, to be my husband,”

“I, Hermione Granger, take you, Severus Snape, to be my husband,”

“To hold, honor, and cherish for all the days of my life,”

“To hold, honor, and cherish for all the days of my life,” Hermione said as she slid his matching band onto his finger.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride,” Albus smiled.

Severus pulled Hermione into his arms. As their lips drew closer, they felt a pull that they couldn’t explain. When their lips met, a bolt of electricity shot through them. Surprised, they pulled apart.

“I now present, Mr. and Mrs. Snape,” Albus said happily.

Hermione took her bouquet from Ginny and she and Severus walked down the aisle, followed by Ginny and Harry. The newly weds both were trying to understand the feelings they felt during the ceremony.
