Blurred Visions of Tomorrow

Epilogue

Two and a half months later-

It was a sunny afternoon in the middle of August but it wasn't any ordinary day, today was Draco's wedding day. Months of agonizing planning had led up to the event and Bella was certainly glad all she had to do was put on the suit her sister had sent for her to wear and show up. The dark witch stood in the mirror giving herself a once over. She wasn't entirely sure why her sister had sent a suit in lieu of her normal corset but she had a hunch that her girlfriend had some say in this outfit. She stared at herself in a form-fitted all blac three piece suit. The only pop of color came from the dark emerald tie and emerald cufflinks. She had her hair pinned up on the top of her head with a few stray stubborn curls falling around her face. Her makeup was dark as usual with a deep shade of red on her lips. Turning slightly, she did the customary ass viewing and nodded, "yeah she'll like this."

Bella looked at the grandfather clock and sighed, she started pacing. They were meant to be at the manor in 10 minutes. Cissy had requested a prompt and early arrival of all of the family members so they could help greet the guests. "Pet, come on. We are going to be late and Cissy will kill both of us on the spot. No questions asked," she called up the stairs from the entryway.

"I'll be down in a minute," her girlfriend called out from their bedroom on the second floor.

"If we are late, I'm not taking the blame. I've been ready to go for an hour!" She grumbled before shouting back up, "Andy and Teddy already left. She said and I quote 'Cissy is going to murder you. Both of you.'"

"Just a minute. The zipper is stuck." Hermione called back frustrated.

"Just come down, I'll fix it for you."

"Okay. Coming!" Hermione called and started to descend the stairs. Bella's mouth went dry looking at the angelic form of her girlfriend wearing a sleek black floor length dress. The front and back of the dress was a deep V cut leading into a banded waist with a long maxi skirt and a thigh length slit. She had on a pair of strappy black heels and her hair was down in flowing curls. Hermione walked over to where her witch was standing and turned, "just right here," she pointed to where the zipper was hidden at the top of the skirt.

Bella gulped, "right." She reached down and gently pulled on the zipper, which closed immediately without hesitation. She turned her girlfriend around to get a proper look at her. "You darling are a siren. I believe it's bad form to show up looking more beautiful than the bride." Leaning in, she placed a kiss on the side of Hermione's mouth. "A vision," she whispered in her ear. "I would love nothing more than to forget this wedding and take you to bed."

Hermione shivered under the other woman's touch and whispered back, "I've been desperate for you for days Bella. This isn't helping." She pulled back slightly to look at her girlfriend. "When you wear muggle clothes, you know I can't resist you." Grabbing Bella lightly by the collar, she dragged their lips together, causing a gasp to escape the older witch. Hermione wasted no time and gently swept her tongue against her lover's both moaning at the contact.

Allowing herself to get lost in a moment of weakness, Bella wrapped her arms around her girlfriend, touching the exposed skin of Hermione's back. It took every ounce of will power she had not to let the kiss deepen. "Pet?" She whispered against Hermione's lips. "Only a few more weeks." She felt her girlfriend deflate a little. "The doctor said by September, you'll be cleared." She pulled back just enough to kiss her on the tip of the nose. "Maybe if you are a good girl at the wedding, I'll let you feel me up later over the clothes of course."

Hermione groaned in protest, "I think I know my ownself well enough to know that I'm ready for sex."

"Oh I know but I wouldn't want anything else to happen to that pretty little brain of yours, pet." She kissed Hermione soundly on the lips before pulling back and grabbing her hand, "so we wait." She rustled through her pants pocket and pulled out her phone which earned her a grin from Hermione. "Now, we have to go. The threatening messages have started." She pushed the phone back into her pocket and they left the manor arm in arm.
