Unsent Confessions

| A New Beginning

The morning sun streamed through the windows of their home, casting a warm glow over Harry and Draco as they sat together at the kitchen table. They exchanged nervous yet excited glances, their hands finding each other's in a silent reassurance of their love.

Draco took a deep breath, breaking the comfortable silence that had settled between them. "Harry, are you ready?"

Harry nodded, his eyes shining with anticipation. "Yes, Draco. I've never been more ready."

With that, they stood up and made their way to the edge of the nearby forest, where a small clearing awaited them. The air was crisp, carrying the scent of pine and earth, adding to the magic of the moment.

As they reached the clearing, Harry and Draco faced each other, their gazes locked in a silent exchange of promises and love. The world seemed to hold its breath as they took each other's hands, standing beneath the canopy of trees.

Draco's voice was steady as he spoke, his eyes never leaving Harry's. "Harry James Potter, from the moment I met you, my life changed for the better. You've shown me love, kindness, and unwavering support. Today, I stand before you, ready to commit my life to you, to be your partner in all things, and to love you endlessly."

Harry's heart swelled with emotion as he spoke his vows, his voice filled with sincerity and love. "Draco Lucius Malfoy, you've brought light into my life, and I am grateful for every moment we've shared. I promise to stand by your side, to support you in all your endeavors, and to love you with all that I am, for as long as we both shall live."

Their vows exchanged, they turned to face their closest friends and family members who had gathered to witness their union. Hermione stood as their officiant, a smile on her face as she began the ceremony.

"Do you, Harry James Potter, take Draco Lucius Malfoy to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

"I do," Harry said, his voice filled with conviction.

Hermione turned to Draco. "And do you, Draco Lucius Malfoy, take Harry James Potter to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

"I do," Draco replied, his eyes never leaving Harry's.

With the exchange of rings and a kiss that sealed their vows, Harry and Draco were pronounced married, their love celebrated by those who had stood by them through thick and thin.

As they walked hand in hand back to their home, the weight of their commitment felt light, buoyed by the love and support that surrounded them. They knew that their journey together was just beginning, and they faced the future with hope, joy, and the knowledge that their love was forever.
