Only Time Will Tell (Tom Riddle)

Part 27 ~ The Wedding Reception

"The first dance Ladies and Gentlemen!" Lestrange said loudly.
"Can I have this dance my beautiful wife?" Tom asked taking my hand. "You may my dashing husband." We stood up and made our way to the middle as the song began to play.

Edward Christopher Weasley was my favorite singer. Tom's hands were on my waist and mine around his neck. We stared into each other's eyes. "You look so beautiful Freya. I am lucky to call you my wife." Tom said making my knees weak. "And I am lucky to have you as my husband my love." He kissed me. He span me around and at the wnd of the song he dipped and kissed me. "May I?" My grandfather asked, more saying than asking. A slow song started and soon more couples joined. "They would be proud my little flower." He said. "Thank you grandpa. And thank you for not pushing me to walk the same path as the family." I said laying my head against his chest. "You are helping a lot more then you think. With someone like Tom at the Top I know our values will be uphold around the wizarding world." He said. Offcoarse I knew that.

We all sat by the table and food appeared. Veronica stood up and tapped a spoon against her glass. Everyone quietted down amd listened to her. "Hello everyone, I am Veronica, the maid of honour. Before Freya came into oue lives I was lonely. I was the only girl in an all male friend group and with an overprotective brother. But soon my prayers were answered and in walked a silver head with a lot of sass and attitude, a girl who even put Tom Riddle on his place and I knew from that moment that girl is going to be my best friend. She helped me threw my dark times and sat with me in the dark with a candle. She made me feel less lonely, Finally I had a girl best friend. Someone who I can share anything with and to. But Freya is so much more than my best friend, she is my sister, and I love her more than anything else. Frey, I wish all the happiness in your life. You went threw more than any other person and you came out strong. No one else deserves happiness more then you. I hope you and Tom will have a bright and long future together. To Tom and Freya!" Veronica said lifting her glass and everyone copied her. I stood up and sobbed into her soldier. "I love you Ronnie!" "I love you too Fey!" She cried into my shoulder. We sat back down and up stood the boys.

"Hey everyone, we are the protective brothers of the group." Lestrange said making everyone laugh. Then Parkinsons spoke. "After me Tom has always been the smart one. He was our leader and still is. He stood up for us and brought us all together. Maybe not for the right reason in the beginning but soon our bond became deeper than any friends. We all discovered brotherhood. And then little Veronica joined becoming the little sister in the group but we still had a missing piece." Abraxas then talked. "In came a fiery exchanged student that was not scared to put anyone on their place, not even Tom Riddle. She became the mother of our group. She brought laugher and light into our boring dark pureblood lives. " Black then spoke, "She not only filled our group she also filled Tom. The moment he met her she brought something into his life he never had, a challenge. He had met his match, in school and in life. She made us see we had more to offer than what was expected from us." Lestrange spoke next, "She helped us cover up our antics and stood up for us and sometimes even took the punch and then Tom would punch us." We all started laughing. "I can't thank her enough for letting us be our true selves and not some stuck up pureblood wizards. She make us see the bright side of the world. Tom, oh dear Tom. He was unfortunatly part of our group of boys who got slapped down from our high pedestals. We saw something in Tom the moment he met Freya. She did'nt throw herself on him like the others. She gave him grieve and he fell inlove. There was a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face whenever she walked into the great hall. Here is to our two best friends! Tom and Freya!" Everyone clapped and I hugged the boys. Tears streaming. Ronnie put a spell on my make up so that it does'nt smudge or wear off till very later tonight.

We all danced and enjoyed ourselves. "Cake time!" Ronnie yelled and lifted me up from the chair. The pushed the beautiful cake to the front.

Veronica handed me a knife. Tom came up from behind me and pulled my back to his front and held my hand with the knife. We cutted the cake and everyone clapped. He took a piece and fed it to me, I took the bite and sucking the icing off his finger and moaned softly. A deadly look crossed his face and he let out a low growl. "Tonight princess, you will pay for teasing me like that." He whispered lowly in my ear. I gulped. I took a piece of the cake and fed it to him. The elves entered and cutted up the cake handing pieces to everyone.

"Bax." I called one of the elves. "Yes Mrs. Riddle? How can Bax help?" He asked holding his hands together. "After the party if there is still cake left and food, please feel free to take the left overs. Also tell the rest." I said smiling. "Bax thanks you Mrs. Riddle." He walked ofd happily. We, well I made a point of it to dress our elves nicely.

It was time to toss my bouqet. I was smart enough to have two made. The second one I enchanted to last forever. I stood on a chair with nesrly all the slytherin girls behind me. I threw it high up behind me and turned to see Ronnie caught it. I smiled as I saw her look at Parkinsons who had a small blush. Tom approached me. One of the boys came up and tied Tom's hands behind his back. He went under my dress and I saw the boys smirking and oeh-ing like a bunch of 3rd years. He kissed up my leg making me blush earning wolf whistes from some of the guys and kne of em even yelled. "You go Tom!" I felt Tom's teeth graze my legs. My pregnancy hormones arw going crazy. He bit the garter and pulled it down my leg. They loosened his hands and he took the garter kn his hand.

He tossed it back and suprise suprise, Parkinsons caught it. I smirked at Ronnie who blushed when she made eye contact with me. Tom helped me down the chair and kissed me.

We danced a bit more. Party music started and my grandfatger came to say goodbye. "Look after her Tom. I ought not to repeat myself of this morning's conversation." He said glaring at Tom. "I will keep to my promise I made." Tom said and my grandpa nodded. "My dear, remember to carry our values high. Your parents would be proud of you just as I am. Look after yourself. I love you." He hugged me and were on his way. The music started tk get louder and the room darker and everyone was havung fun and drinking. The boys had their ties around their heads making me laugh. We started hearing fireworks and we all made our way outside.

Tom stood behind me. I felt his arms around me. "This is our que to go well they are all distracted." He said and gtabbed my hand and we made our way inside. We ran through the halls laughing like naughty teenagers. We got to the front and I saw Veronica. She held my suitcase in her hand. Tom planned the honeymoon and kept me from knowing saying it was a suprise. He only told Veronica so that she can pack my bags. "Go get him girl." She said as she hugged me. I rolled my eyes and she smirked and winked. Outside was a carriage pulled by Thestrals. Tom helped me inside and we were off. I waved at Ronnie and soon I saw the Manor dissapear.
