The Profit August 24th, 2003

Love is in the Air 

By. Rita Skeeter

Last night at the Quidditch World Cup. There was more than one celebration going on. The Puddlebemere United Quidditch Team. Won the Quidditch World Cup for the first time. All Wizarding London was celebrating the big win.

Egypt had 380. While our team had 300. But with the capture of the snitch by seeker Draco Lucius Malfoy. The game was won at 450.

From a reliable source. We were told that the Puddlebemere seeker Draco Lucius Malfoy. Proposed to his wedding planner girlfriend Hermione Jean Granger. Using his very first professional snitch catch. He used the snitch to hide the engagement ring. That his mother, Narcissa Malfoy had used.

As you may all may remember Draco Malfoy was about to marry the American witch Clara Smith back in May 2001. 

But after her false pregnancy was exposed. The marriage was canceled. But eight months later. Draco made his relationship to his long time friend Hermione Granger official. At the wedding of famous seeker Viktor Krum.

Now Draco Malfoy has gone down on one knee proposing to his girlfriend. In the celebrating party of Puddlebemere United. Of course the wedding planner said yes.

For all the updates of the wedding of the century keep tune to me. Rita Skeeter journalist of the stars. Right here at your daily Profit.

Malfoy Manor July 17th 2004

Hermione awoke with a strong arm wrapped around her waist. While another played with her curls. When she opened her eyes. She saw a pair of beautiful grey eyes looking at her. "Good morning Granger." Draco said in a husky sleeping voice.

Making Hermione frown at her almost husband. Draco had made it a custom to call Hermione by her last name. Since he proposed to her. Telling her he had to get it out of his system. As she would soon be a Malfoy. 

Which made waking up to him annoying. She moved in to Malfoy Manor again after Viktor's wedding. Narcissa had given up on trying to have Hermione sleeping in her own room. A week after she returned. But Narcissa did try to have Hermione sleep in her own room. A night before their wedding. But Draco had sneaked into her bedroom in the middle of the night. Making Hermione put an desiluging charm on her wedding dress.

"You better get going to your room. Unless you want your mom to hex you." Hermione said as she pushed Draco's hair back. He just kissed her and hummed. "She wouldn't hurt the groom hours before his wedding." Draco said. 

Hermione just rolled her eyes and shook her head. "No she said she wouldn't hurt the bride. You are not the bride." she told him with little to much sass. "No I am not. You are and in few hours you will be my wife for the rest of my life. I love you Hermione so so much." Draco said. 

That made Hermione start to cring softly. "I love you so much Draco. I can't believe this day is finally here. I finally get to have you all to myself." Hermione said pulling herself back up. "Well not forever. You will have to share me when we have little curly blondes running around the manor halls." Draco told her. 

Making her smile. She could already see them runnig around and flying in the Malfoy gardens. Both of them had alredy discussed starting a family as soon as possible. They were ready to have it all. They had waisted so much time. That no more time was going to be waisted. Not anymore. With one final kiss Draco snuck back to his bedroom. Making sure no one saw him. Unless he wanted to truly see his mother's Slytherin side.

With that Hermione went off to shower and take off the disalusion charm off her wedding dress. The wedding dress her mother had worn on her wedding day.

Instead of having a Malfoy or Black family wedding bands. Hermione had asked Draco for them to use her parents wedding bands. Draco had accepted immediately. Wanting his future wife to have something of her family legacy to pass on to their children. Because the times of only having one Malfoy heir was over.

The simple yet stunning A-line silhouette with V-neckline. Ivory stretch crepe with detachable organza skirt with train. And open back. Was simple yet elegant for their wedding.

Hermione had asked for something simple. No more then a hundred guest were invited and it was been held in the manors ballroom. Of course a separate wedding dress created by Pansy herself. Had been made for the reception. 

A mini wedding dress had been made for Hermione. It had a beautiful strapless corset. The dress was lace with diamond around it. One of a kind for a one of a kind bride. 

With a soft knock at the door. Narcissa walked in looking as happy as she had been. Since Draco and Hermione had started dating.

Kissing Hermione on her head. She handed her a white box. That Diddy had been holding up for her to take. Hermione looked confused. "Since I never had any daughters. I knew I would someday give this to Draco's wife. Of course this was not used last time. As something told me. That marriage would never last. But today I know, what you and Draco have is forever. Please open it my dear." Narcissa said putting her hands together and hoping the young witch liked her gift. 

When Hermione finally got the white box to open. Tears fell from her eyes. Inside was a beautiful lace vail and a sapphire crown. "Isn't tratition in the muggle world to use something blue, old, new and barrowed. Well here are three out of the four. Of course the borrowed part is because I expect you to give this to your daughter someday. Because the Malfoy need a girl in the family already." Narcissa said with a tearful smile. Hermione nodded and hugged her tight. 

"There is one thing I wish to ask from you Hermione. I do hope you except." Narcissa said. "Of course what is it Narcissa?" Hermione asked. Narcissa placed the white box on Hermione's bed and took her hands.

"I wanted to ask you. If you want to of course. If you would start calling me mother. I know you had your own mother. But I love you as my own. It would mean a lot to me." Narcissa asked.

Hermione just held her in a tight hug and whispered. "How about Mum?" Narcissa nodded. When they pulled apart. Hermione had her own request. One that had Narcissa tears.

"You want me to walk you down the aisle?" Narcissa reasked hopefully. Hermione nodded. "Of course. I would be honored and like you said. You always saw me as a daughter. I would have asked Lucius if he was here. But since he is not. I ask you." Hermione said. 

With a tearful smile Narcissa nodded. "Thank you my dear. Now I must go see my son. There is something I must give him." Narcissa said kissing Hermione's cheek. Then leaving to go find her son. Which took more time then she thought. Since her son was not in his bedroom.

Draco was in Lucius study. Looking at the wedding painting of his parents. They looked so happy and in love. He had always hope to find someone that made him feel like that. At the thought that he almost lost his true love. Made him want to slapped himself. To a silly, lying, self absorbed witch. Now he was about to marry the smartest, kindest, and most beautiful witch in his life. 

A small nock brought him back to the present. Draco smiled as he saw his mother walk in. She had a beautiful dark green velvet dress on. One that Pansy had almost forced Narcissa to wear. Her blonde hair was pulled high up in a bun. The smile that was ratering out of Narcissa was evident. 

"Draco darling there you are. I been looking every where for you." Narcissa said as she approached him. Draco just look back at the painting. "I just wanted a moment with father." Draco said. His heart hurting at the thought he would not have him on one of the most happiest days of his life. 

Narcissa rested her elegent hand on the back of her son. "He was always so worried I would never find someone. And today... I just wished he would be here." Draco said as few tears escaped his eyes. 

Narcissa nodded and handed him an envelope. "That is why I am here. Your father left this for you. I think is time for you to have it. I will leave you to read it in private." Narcissa said with a kiss to his forehead and left him to it.

Draco looked at the almost yellow letter his father had left him time ago. Why did his mother wait till now. With that in mind. Draco lit up one of his father's cigars and took a seat near the window. 

Letting the smoke go out the window. The warm July air hit him perfectly. As he opened the letter. His eyes skimmed the lines on the page. Tears started to fall out of his grey eyes.

My Dear Son...

If you are reading this. Is because I am no longer with you. And I am sorry for that. I had never imaged leaving you nor your mother so soon.

I had wished to see you get married and become a father. To a little girl and to see how your mother and I melted for her. 

Not that we wouldn't melt for your son. No matter what we will spoil your children. But as you know the Malfoy's. Haven't had a daughter in the last hundred years.

I had hope to have a daughter with your mother. But you were our only miracle. But we did get to adopte our fiesty Pansy and our beautiful Hermione. 

Which brings me back to the reason for the letter. Today should be one of the most happiest days of your life. Because you have finally taken your head out off your arse and asked Hermione to marry you.

Even though I never told you. I knew Hermione was the woman for you. Since that day in the Malfoy library. When she hit you over the head because you were not paying attention. To Nymphadora tutoring lessons.

I had heard so much of the young girl. But seen her in our home. See how she acted towards you. She was never like does other young witches. Who melted all over you. I knew at that moment she was the one for you.

She always had a way of making you the best version of yourself. I seen the way you both look at each other over the years. The pure love and respect for each other. Neither one of you try to change the other. 

Even if her been a muggle-born. And your marriage to her. Would have our family and your mother's fall from the Sacret 28. It would all be worth it.

I will like to share some wisdom with you. As your grandfather did for me on my wedding day. A marriage is like a work contract. Both have to respect your part of the deal and obey by it. 

You are about to swear loyalty, respect, compassion and love to your bride. But the one thing they don't meantion. Is communication. You must talk to your wife and she must feel free to talk to you. With out a strong communication base. A marriage will colapse. 

The other thing you must never stop doing is wooing your wife. Just because she married you. It doesn't mean you must stop making her fall in love with you. You must keep telling her she is beautiful and how much you love and respect her.

I am truly sorry I am not there to tell you these words in person. Have a drink with you, give you a hug and congratulat you for your big day. See you in your groomsmen's robes and see the beautiful Hermione in her muggle wedding dress. 

Because I bet 100 gallons with your godfather Snape. That Hermione would not wear wizarding robes. But a muggle wedding dress. Do make sure you collect that for me and buy a bottle of fire whiske. 

That you will not open till your own son or daughter. Is about to get married. And you share this story and your wisdom with him or her.

You are and have always been the best thing to have had happen to me. After your mother of course. I love you Draco and I am sorry if I never told you.

Now go get ready. If not your mother will hex you. If you are late to your own wedding. Kiss the future Mrs. Malfoy for me. And best wishes to you both. I will always be looking after you my son. 

I love you Draco.

Sincerely your father, Lucius Abraxes Malfoy

With a final blow on the cigar. Draco stood up and went to the wedding portrait. Of his parents. His father's wedding robes were a royal blue. 

Draco called out for Dobby. Who came popping in already knowing. Why he had been sumamen. "Does Master Draco wish to use Master Lucius wedding robes. Master Lucius had Dobby put them away for young master Draco." Dobby said. Doddy was already dressed in his tux and looked overly excited.

With a watery smile Draco nodded. Dobby pop out for a few seconds. To then pop back in with a black box flowing behind him.

Surprisingly the robes were clean cut for the years. That had been put away. Sure, Draco had elegent grey robes for the day. But knowing Hermione was planning on wearing her mother's wedding dress. To honor her not been precent. It seemed appropriate for him to use his father's wedidng robes. Plus they would mean so much to his mother.

With that in mind. He headed off to his bedroom to get ready. Soon his bedroom would no longer be his. As he would be moving to one of the master bedrooms. While his childhood room would be left as a nursery. Draco couldn't wait to call Hermione his wife and start a family with her. 

Taking one look at himself in the mirror. The blue wedding robes made his eyes pop out. He looked so happy. Unlike his almost last wedding. That had been three year ago.

The journey to this day had been long and difficult. To say the least. While Hermione had forgiven Draco and went to Greece with him.

It wasn't as easy as Draco had thought. That after their return home from Greece. That Hermione and him would just star dating and pretend the last year hadn't occurred.

Oh no. Hermione had made him keep his word on going to a mind healer. Oh was that fun. Especially the first appointment. Where the told poor mind healer Brown about the wedding fiasco. And then the trial that had to occur after. 

Clara had been found guilty. Been given five years in Askaban. But her family had fought the court to let her be transfered to Woolworth. The prison of MACUSA. The Malfoy family and Hermione just wanted the American witch away from thier lives.

After talking about that. What fallowed was six months of sections. Where both Draco and Hermione talk about their poor communication skills. Even when they had years of friendship.

By the time Viktor got married. Hermione had accepted making their relationship public. Not just that. But Hermione decided to move back to Malfoy Manor. In the end. It had all been worth it. It made them and their relationship stronger.

With that clear out of his mind. Draco fixed his hair and laughed. Lucius was right. If he was late to his own wedding his mother would hex him till next year.

Draco went to the ballroom. Where Pansy was waiting for him. To making sure he looked perfect. But when Pansy tried to fix his tie. He didn't let her fix it. That was Hermione's job and only her job.

The wedding was not going to be anything big. Less then one hundred guest were invited. Most of them were a sea of red heads. Others a mix of house unity of Hogwarts. As well as Draco's aunt Andromeda her uncle Tonk, Nymphadora Tonks, her husband Lupin and a very happy Teddy.

Draco's godfather Severus Snape was also in present. But this time as officiant. As Snape was the one. Who was going to be do the binding ceremony.

The other bigger part was Draco's teammates and their families. With a smile to everyone. Draco went to stand in front of the aisle and wait for his bride.

Standing in front of Draco. Hermione's bridesmaids and Maid of Honor stood. Theo Nott, Ginny and a pregnant Daphne were also waiting for Hermione. While to his left. Pansy, Blaise, and Harry were standing next to him. As his groomsmen and groomwoman.

Oh Yes! Theo Nott had made Hermione make him her Maid of Honor. For the whole pinky promise fiasco. While Pansy had demanded Draco the same thing. For saving his love life and slapping a witch who must not be named.

Minutes later the doors open. Draco's grey eyes filled with tears. Hermione truly looked wonderful. She was an angel. A beautiful angel.

When Draco turned to see who was walking Hermione down the aisle. He was so surprised to see his mother. "Just perfect." Draco whispered to himself. "She is truly to perfect for you." Theo said. Draco ignored Theo's comment. He was to happy to care.

Narcissa's eyes were filled of tears. With a tight hug Narcissa wrapped her son. "Oh my dragon. You look just like your father." Narcissa said in his ear. Draco nodded and smiled to his mother.

But of course someone had to talk. "Excuse me Mrs. Malfoy, but we have been waiting for this wedding for the last ten years. Can you two hug later." Theo said with a big smile. Hermione just punshed Theo on the chest. Draco just chuckled. "That is my girl." he said softly.

With one last hug and kiss. Narcissa went to sit. Snape didn't look so please. At the devilish smile Draco gave him. Snape knew he would be charged after the wedding. Of a bet he made with a dead man. But more then anything. Snape was a man of his word.

Draco took Hermione's hand and smiled. As the ceremony commenced. "Witches and wizards of all ages. We are all gather here today. To marry this man and..." Snape started to say. 

"Wait one second." Hermione said. Snape looked confused and just little irritated. "Someone forgot to do his tie again." Hermione said. Draco smiled at his godfather. Was he an absolute git. Yes he was but he didn't give a fuck. This was his wedding day. To the woman of his dreams. 

"There all done. You may proceed." Hermione told their old potion proffesor. Who just rolled his eyes. At their smug faces. Oh they were truly perfect for one another. But hadn't he said so years ago.

Before anyone knew it. The final part of the ceremony had approached. Teddy with his chest up high and a huge smile on his face. Gave Draco and Hermione the rings. "Here you go Draco. Can I call you aunty Hermione now? Or will you be my cousin?" Teddy asked. Before his mother pulled him back. Assuring him to explain later. The young boy had even made his hair curly blonde. To honor them and show his support. 

"I Draco Lucius Malfoy take you Hermione Jean Granger to be my wife. In sickness or in health. For richer or for poor. To have and to hold. From this day foward till the end of time. I bend my magic, my heart and my soul to you. Accept my magic and my love to you." Draco said

Hermione smiled up at him. "I do." Hermione said softly. Draco slipped the simple but beautiful wedding band. On Hermione's left hand. His soul felt as it was about to be complete.

"I Hermione Jean Granger take you Draco Lucius Malfoy to be my husband. In sickness or in health. For richer or for poor. To have and to hold. From this day foward till the end of time. I bend my magic, my heart and my soul to you. Accept my magic and my love to you." Hermione told Draco her voice breaking.

But Draco just smirked at her. "I do." he said and she let out a breath. This was finally happaning. In matter of seconds. She would be Draco's wife and he would be her husband.

After all the heartbreak and confusion. It had all let them here. To her mother's wedding dress. To his father's wedding robes. And them at the end of an aisle. About to be married by the man. That had paired them up as potion partners, over a century.

"Well since their is no one here to stop this wedding. Hermione you may kiss your husband." Theo said. Making everyone laugh. "Mr. Nott I do believe I am officiating this wedding. So do me the pleasure of keeping your mouth shut." Snape said.

Draco only shook his head. Merlin did Snape still have to act like their head of house. Eighter way he leaned down. Putting his forhead on Hermione's. As Snape bended their magic. "With this bending of Magic and soul. I pronounce you binded forever." Snape said.

Hermione smiled up at Draco. Grapping his tie she pulled him the last centimeters to her and capturing his lips. Draco was more then happy to wrap his arms around her waist and pull her close.

"Witches and wizards may I indorduce to you Mr. And Mrs Granger Malfoy." Snape told the guest. Everyone applauded and cheered. While the happy couple kept kissing. 

"Didn't I tell you Mrs. Granger Malfoya. That Draco was going to be a better partner then your two other Gryffindor friends." Snape said. When Draco and Hermione had stop kissing. They just giggled and could of sworn. That Snape smirked slightly before handing Draco a sack of gallons.

It might had been a long journey. It might had its ups and downs. But Draco and Hermione were now together forever. As husband and wife.

Somewhere in the other world. Lucius was cheering with the Grangers. Their children were happy and in love. They would make sure to send a couple of angels their way. To make their lives truly complete.

Five Years Later

August 31st 2009 Malfoy Manor 1:47 p.m.

Draco was currently in his new study. Or what use to be Lucius's study. He was waiting for his wife to come down. As they were due to be precent. At Teddy's farewell celebration. He couldn't belive it. His little cousin was now eleven and would be leaving for Hogwarts.

It seemed like it had just been yesterday. That Teddy had been the ring bearer at his wedding. But that had been five years ago. Five years. He had been happily married to Hermione for five years. Sure there had been ups and downs. But they had been taken care of.

Draco was deep in thought till some one pulled on his arm. "Daddy not listening to me." a sweet annoyed voice said. When Draco looked down. He smiled at the beautiful pair of honey brown eyes. That were glaring at him. 

Oh no. He had made his little lioness mad. Lyra Rose Granger Malfoy stood next him with her hands on her hips. The only thing, that child had gotten from him. Was her silver blonde hair and love for flying. 

But everything from her curly hair, to button down noise, her honey brown eyes and attitude. Screamed Hermione Jean Granger Malfoy, his wife.

"I am sorry princess. What is wrong?" Draco said taking his four year old daughter in his arms and sitting her on his lap. "I finsh Teddy's drawing daddy. You like it?" Lyra asked.

When Draco saw the drawing his daughter had made. He smiled. It was a family drawing of them. It had Teddy with blue hair, Teddys parents and grandparents. His mother and youngest son Scorpius. But what made him chuckle. Was how Lyra had drawn Hermione.

"Princess what is that circle next to mommy?" Draco asked. Lyra just giggled and shook her head. "Silly daddy. That is mommy's tummy and that is our baby." Lyra said pointing to her mommy's belly. Merlin could this child be any more smarter. 

"Are you two ready?" another voice came from the doorway. "Mommy! I ready. Were Scorpius mommy?" Lyra asked. "He is with your Nana Cissa. Go on along. I got fix your father's tie." Hermione told her daughter who left quickly. 

When Draco came to Hermione's side he just smiled at her. "What? What is it Draco?" Hermione asked as she did his tie. "Nothing. I just love you. You know." Draco told his wife giving her a kiss. And rubbing her belly. Hermione was five month pregnant with their third child.

"Hurry up daddy. I want give Teddy my drawing and show Jame how cute I look." Lyra said poking her head threw her father's study. To then leave again.

Draco only huffed while Hermione giggled. "It is not funny Granger. I don't want to be related to Potter." Draco said in a deep voice. Hermione just patted his finished tie. "That is Mrs. Granger Malfoy to you. And is either James Potter. Or it be Hugo Weasley or Trevor Longbottom. You pick." Hermione told her husband.

Who was not to pleased at the infatuation Lyra had with Harry's son. "So does are my options. Either be related to Potter, the Weasley King or Pansy? I swear Hermione. I am going go buy a time turner. To avoid the Holidays of 2004 to happen. Where all does children were consummated" Draco said crossing his arms. 

Hermione just laughed as she pulled Draco out of his study. "Come on Malfoy. We will be late if we don't leave now. And don't worry. You still have about maybe twenty years. Till the next Malfoy Wedding."

The End
