Severus is leaning back against Tom, sighing as he finishes retelling his conversation with Dumbledore. He looks back at his betrothed, knowing that he is seething at what he just heard.
He looks up, "You alright? I can feel your magic rising".
Tom shakes his head, "I'm sorry, darling. I...I just can't believe he would say that to you. Our wedding not being important? Having to prove you're actually getting married? Merlin, that man is as insufferable as I remember".
He sighs, "Believe me, I know".
"Have you talked to Lucius about going to the Ministry?".
He shakes his head, "I haven't. He has his own stresses going on right now, I don't want to bother him with this".
Tom turns Severus to face him, "Darling, he's your best friend and he works in the Minsitry. If there is anyone to go to about this it's him".
"But...". He sighs, "...after what he and Narcissa went through I don't know if it's a good idea".
Tom nods, "I understand your concern, my love. At the very least, write to him for advice. Hopefully we'll be able to go through the Ministry and you can finally leave that horrid school".
Severus smiles, "It wasn't all that bad. If I hadn't gone we probably would have never met and I wouldn't be Potions Master".
"Alright, you've got me there. Can't imagine how different my life would be without you, Severus. And I will make sure that no one, especially Dumbledore, gets in the way of me marrying you".
Severus leans his head down, hiding his blush, "I will never get over how protective you are of me".
He smiles, "Yeah, well, get used to it".
"Who would have thought that I would be in love with and marrying the infamous Dark Lord? Everyone knows you as completely heartless".
Tom moves closer, "You must be pretty special than if you were able to break my cold, stone heart". He leans over and places a strand of hair behind his ear, "My special Prince of Darkness".
He leans in and gives him a small kiss. As he leans back, he smirks at the completely red face of his fiancé.
"So, how Regulus when you saw him yesterday?".
He sighs, "He's actually been going through some wedding fever and it's making Rabastan nervous".
Tom laughs, "Really? We'll see how that plays out I guess".
The two laugh and just enjoy the rest of the day they had together. Hopefully they can figure something out.
