epilogue
*EIGHT MONTHS LATER*
Draco and Hermione had moved into the Malfoy Manor together a few weeks after they got back together. They were now sprawled out on the couch writing a list 'Certain Wedding Guests' and 'Possible Wedding Guest.'
Draco sighed, "This would be a lot less stressful if it didn't need to be rushed." He complained.
"Well it's not my fault I got pregnant the night you proposed."
Draco grinned at her, he still wasn't completely used to the fact that she was carrying his child AND was going to be his wife.
Hermione was also smiling at the memory of the night he proposed.
*Week and a Half ago.*
It was a big romantic thing; he took her to her favourite restaurant and then took her for a walk along a lake before getting down on one knee and proposing.
That night was spectacular – a lot of sex!
But what she was mainly smiling at was the memory of the next morning.
She wondered into Draco's study in search of a good book to read, she was wearing one of Draco's shirts and nothing else, her hair was still ruffled from sex and she still had that sort of aura about her. When she finally picked a book and went to leave something caught her eye. She turned on her heal and walked up to the Malfoy Family Tree painted across the wall and there it was. Hermione Jean Granger and Draco Lucious Malfoy were linked and had a little flower growing between them. Hermione stood there for a moment, her eyes wide before she called for him, "DRACO!"
"YEAH!?"
"CAN YOU COME DOWN HERE PLEASE!?"
"WHY?!"
"JUST GET DOWN HERE!" She practically squealed.
She soon heard Draco coming down the stairs and into the room.
"What is it?" He asked curiously.
She just pointed to the wall and that's when Draco's eyes widened as well, "Is that?"
"Yep."
"So you're?"
"Yep!"
"I'm gonna be a dad?!"
"YEP!""YOU'RE PREGNANAT?!"
"I'M PREGNANT!" She squealed as he lifted her up and spun her around the room.
After a lot of spinning he finally set her down only to place a quick passionate kiss on her lips. They smiled at each other before Hermione slightly giggled out of excitement, "I'm Pregnant!"
Only people close to them, Ginny, Harry, Ron and Blaise knew about the pregnancy and Ginny seemed to be the most excited out of all of them – already shopping for baby stuff and talking about names and all that sort of stuff.
Over the next two months a lot of stuff happened, Harry proposed to Ginny – their wedding would be four months after Ginny graduates.
Around the same time Harry and Ginny got engaged Ron finally came-out, a few weeks later he went and found Blaise who was more than willing to get back together.
THE WEDDING.
(A/N the song for the wedding is Something I need by One Republic.)
Hermione sat in the car, nervously tapping her knee. Ginny reached over and placed a hand on her bouncing knee, "Cold feet?"
Hermione had a huge smile on her face, "No. I'm excited!"
"Well, you look beautiful." She said before she sat back in her seat.
It was true, she did look beautiful. Her dress had a fitted corset top and flared out bottom, it kind of reminded her of Cinderella. Her hair was in perfect ringlets, the front of it pinned back with white flowery pins, one blue flower as her something blue – also her something borrowed considering it was from Ginny. She said that her dress was her something new, and her something old, what she prized the most, her engagement ring that sat on her right hand ring-finger, it was his mother's engagement ring; white gold band with a constellation marked out in diamonds, Hermione couldn't find out which one it was – according to Draco it was rare and only appeared once every hundred years. Draco's wedding ring was loosely sitting on her pinkie. She smiled down at the ring and then back up at Ginny.
A few minutes later they arrived.
After a few minutes of struggle Hermione was finally able to get out of the car, dress unharmed.
They had decided to get married by a lake, which happened to be the lake where he proposed. She could see the ceremony set up in the distance. A trellis over the top of the ceremony that had light pink, yellow and white roses weaved across the top. White seats with light pink and white roses decorating the legs were set up either side of the aisle, which was marked out with a silver runner. They had invited closes friends and family – well closest thing they had to family. The Weasly's, which she could clearly see because of their fiery red hair, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Blaise, Luna, Neville, Seamus, Hagrid, even McGonagal as well as a few co-workers they had become friends with.
She soon spotted Draco's blonde hair; he was slightly pacing in front of the minister. But he seemed to stop when the minister said something causing him to look over at them, even from this distance she swore she saw him smile at her.
Her and Ginny made there way down to the ceremony to find Harry waiting for them at the begging of the aisle. Ginny gave Hermione a confirming nod and stood, ready to start, at the end of the aisle while Harry linked arms with Hermione, whispering to her, "You ready?"
She just smiled and nodded.
The music started up, a soft, slow, violin version of Something I Need by OneRepublic.
Ginny walked first, as she was about ¾ down the aisle Hermione and Harry started to walk. Everyone's eyes were on her but Hermione's were on Draco's, she slightly blushed and her smile grew even wider as he gave her a grin and a quick wink.
As soon as he saw her, his heart skipped a beat, she was beautiful – she was always beautiful but right now she was... there's no words to describe. A small smirk rested on his lips as he gave her a quick wink and his heart leapt when he saw her smile grow and a small blush spread across her cheeks
Everything seemed to disappear and it was just the two of them, nothing else mattered except each other.
As she finally reached him he so desperately wanted to pull her close and kiss her but he couldn't. He took her hand in his as Harry handed her over and helped her up the small podium. She handed her small boquet of roses to Ginny just before Ginny took a seat in between Harry and Ron.
Draco leaned over and whispered in her ear, "You look beautiful."
She grinned and whispered back, "I know."
He smirked at her comment and then the ceremony started.
It went like all wedding ceremonies went and then came the vowels.
Draco went first, "Hermione Jean Granger, there are no words to completely describe you. Ever since I first met you I knew you were different from any other girl that I would ever meet. I picked on you, called you horrible things, hexed your teeth and when you snapped back or would start shouting at me all I could think about is how amazing and strong you are and when you punched me and called me a foul loathsome evil little cockroach my heart leapt with joy – for some twisted reason. You understand me, you make me smile and you're the best thing in my life, I'm so glad I ran into you in that corridor late at night and I'm so glad you chose me. Thank you, I love you Hermione." He said slipping the ring onto her finger, it was white gold and had a huge diamond in the middle. On the inside, the words 'Amare, et in aeternum semper' which, translated into English, read 'love, forever and always.'
