Chapter 9
I open my eyes letting them adjust to the darkness of the room. I sit up looking around sadly. He still isn't here. I look at the clock on my bedside table, five am. I move to the window opening it quietly, the icy air blows in making me shiver. I summon one of the owls up to the window and scribble a note on a small piece of parchment.
***When are you coming Severus? I can't wait to see you, the bed is cold without you***
I attach it quickly to the owls outstretched leg and send it off. Shaking a bit more I close the window watching the small owl fly off into the distance. I stand there awhile longer watching the falling snow and then climb back into my bed drifting off to sleep. I wake again at eleven o'clock and look to the window. no owl, Just a fresh coat of snow. I stand looking out the window watching Fred and George wrestling in the snow out front. George notices me and waves until Fred tackles him into the snow again. I move across the cold floor to my trunk, digging deep into it pulling out my pack of cigarettes, I haven't smoked since I found out I was pregnant, but my mood today is abysmal. I wrap myself up in a blanket and yank open the window. Brushing the snow off the sill, I climb into the ledge leaning back and lighting the cigarette. I take a deep pull and blow out again I watch as the owl suddenly returns to view and I notice it has brought no reply, my heart drops. I take a few more pulls and then toss the cigarette out the window slamming it shut behind me and returning to my bed. I spend the rest of the morning and afternoon in my bed reading over my text books studying for upcoming exams. Molly comes up twice trying to get me to eat something, but I don't feel hungry. Every day for a week goes by like this. I send owl after owl and no response. I wonder if he is reconsidering me now.
Half of my break has passed and still no sign of Severus. He hasn't returned a single owl. I have spent all of my break so far moping miserably in my room not wanting the company if others. My only visitor is Molly who brings me food and tries unsuccessfully to get me to come out. This morning she comes to my room and brings me a large box.
"What is this?"
"It's from Severus"
"I turn the box over a few times before untying the ribbon and carefully opening the box. Inside Is yet another gorgeous dress, this one looks most exquisite. I pull it from the box and stand holding it up. The black silk unrolls falling gently to the floor. The thin black straps feel soft and cool in my hands.
"Why is he buying me another dress?" I grumble frustratedly
"Celestia, this is a wedding dress" Molly replies still staring at it in awe. I turn it around, it has a beautiful sweetheart neckline and a long a-line skirt. The simple black silk of the dress is topped off with a red ribbon sash positioned directly under the bust. It is beautiful.
"You should put it on" she smiles Warmly
"Why?"
"The wedding is here, this afternoon" she beams. I turn my gaze down to the dress glaring angrily at it before throwing it across the room.
"Is he here?" I growl
"Yes, downstairs" she whispers clearly taken off guard. I fling open the door and charge down the cold steps still in my nightgown. As I reach the bottom of the stairs I hear his deep voice. I turn the corner and stand hands on my hips, staring at him until he looks up. He looks puzzled when he meets my angry glare. The room grows quiet and everyone is watching us now.
"You ignore me for a week! A bloody week! Then you have the nerve to show up and tell me I am getting married today? No warning? You even pick my dress for me! Do I get any bloody say in this at all?" I growl angrily.
Severus stands, moving quickly to me. He puts his arm gently around my waist.
"I am doing what needs to be done Celestia, do you not like the dress?" He asks slowly. I fix my gaze on him, my dark eyes growing darker. Without warning I pull my hand back and slap him as hard as I can. Without missing a beat he grabs my arms roughly slamming me back against the wall with a thud. Several people around the room stand ready to intervene.
"Do not ever strike me again Celestia, or you will surely find yourself alone" he growls in my face. "Do you understand me?" I keep my eyes down and nod gently. He immediately releases me and takes a step back.
"I have found this to be the only way around the no contact rule. Given break is only three weeks I had little time to plan this seeing as Christmas is in the mix too ."
"So that's why you want to marry me?" I snap.
"Celestia, you are impossible! I am marrying you because I-- why do you always doubt my intentions?"
"Why can't you say it Severus? Why can't you just bloody say you love me? Do you even?"
"There is a room full of people Celestia, I implore you, be reasonable. You know how I feel"
"Say it or I walk now" I growl angrily. He stares at me for a few moments.
"I love you Celestia" he begins in a hushed tone "why must you push me so far out of my comfort to prove myself to you" the look in his eyes is hurt and I suddenly feel guilty for letting my temper get the best of me. " I am doing my best to do right by you Celestia, please be patient with me" he Leans in and whispers into my ear. I reach up taking his face in my hands and pull him down for a kiss. The moment my lips meet his it becomes immediately intense. I pull away quickly before this gets to the point of lost self control.
"I guess I had better get dressed then" as I begin heading up the stairs briskly Hitting my room and closing the door behind me. I stand staring at my reflection in the mirror when Severus enters the room closing the door behind him. I watch in the mirror as he comes up behind me and slips his arms around me resting his hands first on my breasts, squeezing them gently. I lean my head back, groaning gently in appreciation. He moves his hands down to rest tenderly on my belly. He leans in resting his Forehead on my shoulder. The baby moves suddenly and Severus' head snaps up looking at my belly in the mirror.
"You haven't felt her move yet, I forgot" I smile pressing my hands onto his, forcing them a little harder against my belly. She kicks out hard and a see a faint smile appear at Severus' lips.
"She? For certain?" He whispers against my neck.
"Yes" I smile gently. The door opens again and Draco and Astoria wander in hand in hand. Astoria takes in the scene smiling sweetly.
"You two look good together. But you aren't supposed to be here Professor, it's bad luck"
"My parents are downstairs Severus, you may need to diffuse the tension" Draco adds shaking his head.
I smile pulling myself from Severus grasp. "You need to leave now love" I smile gently at Severus, blowing him a kiss. He glares and leaves the room.
"Three hours Celestia, don't be late" and he billows off down the stairs. Draco moves across the room picking up the dress carefully and handing it to me. I slip into the bathroom and strip down admiring my now rather large breasts in the mirror, then down to my ever growing belly. I always think it can't get bigger, and then it does. I pull the dress on carefully looking it over in the mirror. Ten months ago when I was on my knees looking up at him, I would have never believed I would be marrying him, nor would I have believed I would be carrying his daughter. How different things are now. From the streets to the Weasleys. Now it will most likely be from here to Severus' house, maybe, if he wants me there. I wonder if he has space? Has he starting getting stuff for the baby? I wonder what his house is like? Will things change now at school for us? What will the Slytherin boys think now that I will be married to the head of house? What will the students think? Will they think I'm a whore? A suck up? What will the teachers think? will they think he is using me? Abusing me? Will I stay with Severus now at Hogwarts? What if they Decide to fire him? God things have become so bloody compliated!
"Celestia? You ok in there? You've been in there almost two hours" Astoria calls in worried.
"Yea sorry, was just thinking" I reply opening the door and walking out. Astoria comes up behind me zipping up the dress carefully and stepping out in front of me.
"You look beautiful, though I figured after two hours in the bathroom you would have at least done your hair? I guess you just need some help with final touches. Red lipstick and your necklace and earrings from the ball?"
" I have jewelry for her, it's a wedding gift from my parents, their thanks for you tutoring me this past year. I was supposed to gift box it, but I didn't so here." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a diamond choker and a pair of matching earrings and a matching bracelet. He puts the jewelry on me carefully as Astoria puts on my lipstick and smokes my eyes with some shadow. Next she starts fiddling with my hair. She tugs the elastic out of my hair letting it fall to it's full length at my waist. She waves her wand and my hair coils up into large mid back coils. I look In the mirror and smile. There is another knock at the door and it opens, Lucius Malfoy walks in.
"Miss Leigh" he smiles his charming smile "Severus tells me you don't have anyone to walk you down the aisle, I came to offer my arm?"
"I would appreciate that Mr. Malfoy" I smile
"Lucius my dear" he corrects me taking my hand and placing a kiss on it gently "Shall we go?"
