Dracotok Story

-70-

Holly and Lauren are going to walk you down the aisle, so you meet up with them.

"Are you ready, y/n?" Lauren asks with a smile. She and Holly have elegant gowns as well.

"As ready as I'll ever be," you say.

"I can't believe my little cousin's getting married" Holly says.

"Okay, I'm not that little."

"Not anymore" she agrees, with a smile.

Taking a deep breath, you walk out onto the aisle and lay eyes on your fiancé, or soon-to-be husband. He looks so handsom, standing there in his classy suit with the biggest, most genuine smile on his face.

You're trying to hold back tears as you approach him and you take your last step with Holly and Lauren. They pass you over to Draco, and you hold his hands in yours.

"You look beautiful" he whispers.

"Y/n y/L/n," Draco starts as you come to your vows.

"I can't promise you that life will go as planned. I can't promise you that tomorow will be perfect, though I can promise I will be there for you. I can promise my everlasting devotion, loyalty, respect, and my unconditional love for a lifetime. I can promise that I will always do my best to make you feel happy and make you feel loved. I can promise that through tough times, I will always be there to listen and hold your hand. I can promise that I will protect you and trust you, and love you with all my heart. This is a promise I will keep, for you are mine, and will be to the end of time." Draco's always had a way with words.

You recognize the last line from the first letter he ever wrote you last summer. That definetly made you cry.

"Draco Malfoy, because of you, I laugh. Because of you, I smile. Because of you, I feel alive. I look forward to the greatest gift of being able to spend the rest of my life with you. I look forward to starting a family, and living in our own house. I look forward to seeing you every morning as I wake up and every night as I fall asleep. I will be there for you in all life has to offer us, and I promise to be faithful and love you to no end as long as we both shall live."

"I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss the bride."

Draco puts a soft hand on the side of your face. The other on your waist, drawing you closer. Both your hands rest againt his chest as you share a gentle kiss. First kiss as a married couple! There wasn't any tongue or hand venturing involved, since you had an audience, but who's to say that won't happen later.

After the ceremony, you're hosting an early dinner for all the guests.

There's a dance floor in the middle of the room, where you and Draco had your first dance.

You ended up talking to most people there. "Congratulations, y/n,"  Ron says, as he was the first one to approach you when you entered the room.

"I'm really happy for you two," Hermione says, linking arms with Ron. "Well, now I'm gonna be waiting on an engagement announcement from you two."

They blush.

"I really am happy that you guys worked things out," you say with a smile.

You and Draco are sitting on a blanket in the sand right after the sun has set. Your head is on his shoulder and there's a blanket around both of you as well. Your fingers are intertwined, and one of your legs is crossed over his.

"So," Draco starts. "That was quite a day."

"It sure was. I'm gonna remember that for the rest if my life" you say.

There's a silence, and all you hear is the waves crashing in the distance.

"I'm so glad I found you while we were this young" you say.

"Found me?" He says with a smile.

"Yeah. Soulmates, you know?"

"You believe in soulmates?"

"I was never really sure, but when I met you, I knew you were the one. That's gotta be something."

"I knew there was something between us that I never felt before when I met you" Draco says.

"Really?"

"You remember when I told you about the first time I saw you? It was at the quidditch game, and it felt like my heart was leading me to you. Like no one else mattered, which is strange because I didn't know you at the time."

You smile.

"Falling in love, like true love is an indescribable feeling," he continues.

"I know what you're talking about" you say, as he puts a hand on your cheek. You find comfort in his cold rings touching your skin. One of which, including his wedding ring.
