Arrows through time

A love bloomed.

Harry stood at the altar, simply looking at his outward calm no one would have suspected that he was an absolute basket case. This was the day he had dreamed of since he had asked her to marry him. This was his and Naya's wedding day. No one could imagine the amount of anxiety that was flowing through him, well no one that is except for his best man, who himself had married a month before to Lily. James and Lily's wedding was beautiful, Lily had worn a white gown of silk and lace with a beaded bodice. She had looked stunning as she walked down the isle and now it was Harry's turn to get the first glimpse of his bride. Harry tapped his foot with impatience.

"Harry, it's a wedding." James chuckled. "Not a Broadway play."

"What's taking so bloody long?" Harry grumbled in annoyance. "She can't have changed her mind, can she?"

"No Harry, She hasn't changed her mind. Women just take a while to get ready, you'll learn this after a month or so of marriage." James assured him. "I sure have." He added with a grimace.

"The waiting is going to kill me!" He blurted, not bothering to keep his voice down.

"Nervous?" James raised an eyebrow.

"Just a bit." Harry admitted.

"Don't worry, it'll be over soon." James grinned mischievously. "Then the real fun begins."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked wearily.

"You'll see." James replied, smirking.

Before Harry could retort the music started and the door to the chapel opened to reveal the procession. Naya's nephew Marlow and niece Ani were adorable in a matching purple dress and suit. They walked down the isle, a bit hurriedly and ran right to their mother's arms barely peeking out from under to watch the others procession down the isle. Next came Sirius leading Naya's homely sister Mirabel down the isle. As Sirius passed Harry he glared at him as if to say "thanks alot for pining me with that!". Then came Remus leading Naya's eldest sister Naciana. Remus though was by far from dissappointed. Naciana was just as lovely as Naya and just a placated with the man on her arm as Naya was with Harry. Naci begrudgingly let him part from her as they approached the end of the isle. Next came Lily in a lovely gold gown lined in purple satin. She winked at James as she passed them. Then came Naya, in a shimmering gown of silver beads on white satin. Her hair was up in a crown with spirals flowing down her face.

Harry found himself gaping in surprise. This was his soon to be wife?

Had Naya gone only to be replaced by this goddess?

As Naya approached, she saw Harry's face and chuckled. "Close your mouth dear." Naya chided. "They'll think I'm Marrying an ape."

Harry snapped his mouth closed and made a sound of an ape for only her to hear.

Naya laughed outright as she took his arm and they faced the minister.

"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join these two in holy matrimony." The minister began. "If there is anyone that believes these two should not be united let him speak now or forever hold his peace."

These words Harry would come to regret hearing.

At that moment the doors to the chapel burst open and Redolphus

Lestrange entered with a few of his "Friends" following close behind.

"I object!" He bellowed as he stormed forward.

Naya turned to face her cousin. "What are you doing here Dolphie?" She said in a cold voice that even made Harry shiver.

"You can't marry him Naya!" Redolphus growled. "He's not right for you!"
