In the clearing deep within the Forbidden Forest, where ancient trees whispered secrets of old magic and the stars shone with an ethereal light, a marriage ceremony was about to begin. The air was alive with anticipation, charged with the kind of energy that only the most powerful of spells could summon.


Mattheo stood at the edge of the clearing, his dark robes blending into the shadows of the night. His heart raced with excitement and nerves. This was the moment he had waited for–an event that would forever change the course of his life. Tonight, he would marry Y/N, the woman who had captured his heart since their days at Hogwarts.


The clearing had been transformed for the occasion. Glowing orbs of light floated above, casting a soft, golden hue over the scene. The trees seemed to earn in closer, their branches forming a natural archway above the altar, as if nature itself was blessing the union. In the center, a circle of stones had been arranged, each one engraved with ancient runes symbolizing protection, love, and eternity.


Y/N dressed in a flowing gown of deep green, the color of life and growth, emerged from the forest. Her long hair, dark as a raven's wing, was adorned with delicate silver threads and small, enchanted flowers that glowed softly in the moonlight. She moved with the grace of someone who had spent her life attuned to the world's natural rhythms, each step bringing her closer to Mattheo.


As she approached, their eyes locked, and the rest of the world faded away. There was only her, the love that had grown between them over the years of shared experiences, whispered secrets, and quiet moments stolen between the pages of dusty books in the Hogwarts library.


The officiant, an ancient wizard with a long, silver beard that seemed to glow under the moonlight, stood in the center of the stone circle. He raised his arms, and the surrounding forest fell silent, as if holding its breath.


"Tonight," the officiant began, his voice resonating with power, "we gather to witness the union of two souls bound by the love and magic. Mattheo and Y/N, your paths have been intertwined by fate, and now you stand before us, ready to bind your hearts for all eternity."


Mattheo and Y/N stepped into the circle, facing each other. They joined hands, and a soft, warm light began to emanate from their joined palms, the first signs of the ancient binding spell that would unite their lives.


"Do you, Mattheo Riddle, vow to stand by Y/N's side, to protect and cherish her, in times of darkness and light, until the stars themselves fade from the sky?" the officiant asked.


"I do," Mattheo replied, his voice steady with conviction. The light between their hands grew brighter.


"And do you, Y/N L/N, vow to stand by Mattheo's side, to nurture and support him, in times of struggle and peace, until the earth itself ceases to turn?" the officiant continued.


"I do," Y/N answered, her voice soft yet firm, filled with the same unwavering love that shone in Mattheo's eyes. The light between them pulsed with warmth, enveloping them both in its glow.


"Then by the power of ancient magic, and the love that binds you, I pronounce you united in heart, mind, and soul. Let your bond be unbreakable, your love eternal," the officiant declared.


As the final words were spoken, the light between their hands surged outward, wrapping them in a cocoon of golden magic. The circle of stones glowed in response, the runes igniting with a fiery brilliance. The trees swayed gently, and a chorus of night creatures filled the air with their song, celebrating a union.


Mattheo and Y/N leaned in, their foreheads touching as the magic settled into their beings, weaving their lives together in a tapestry that would never unravel. With a tender kiss, they sealed their vows, the magic sealing their bond.


The clearing erupted in soft applause as the light dimmed, revealing the couple still standing in the circle, now forever bound by love and magic. The night around them seemed to glow a little brighter, as if the very stars themselves rejoiced in the union.


Hand in hand, Mattheo and Y/N stepped out of the circle, ready to face whatever the future held—together.
