Bloom
It seemed too real to be true. Like a dream that one knows is a dream and tries to will the body to stay asleep.
The gardens of Malfoy Manor were teeming with life. Flora and fauna of all kinds bloomed with life everywhere you looked. The air was heavy with natural scents that mingled into one sweet note.
Despite the natural beauty all around her, Hermione only wanted to look into the eyes of the wizard beside her. Truly he looked amazing in dark blue dress robes with that perfectly combed hair her fingers longed to touch.
But it was so much more than that. When she looked at him she saw love, burning bright with an intensity unmatched anywhere else. She saw a man who had pulled himself from the ashes of his life to rebuild it all and then lay it all at her feet. Draco challenged her, fought for her and with her, pushing positive change within herself too.
She saw someone who she wanted to spend the rest of her days with.
When they kissed as husband and wife she felt their magic melding together and love blooming in her soul.
