Promise

Epilogue

All characters belong to JK Rowling

Harry stood in front of the mirror admiring his black tux or as he liked to call them monkey suits. He hated how ridiculous he felt in them.

He heard a knock at the door.

"Come in" he called out.

Hermione and Ron walked into the room hand in hand. Ron was wearing dress pants and a white t-shirt and Hermione was wearing a pale yellow dress her white and gold wedding ring reflecting the light. Hermione walked over and basically attacked him, pulling him into a bone crushing hug.

"Can't breathe" Harry managed to get out but instead of letting go Hermione hugged him tighter. Ron smirked at Harry and rolled his eyes.

"I'm so happy for you" Hermione beamed at him finally letting go. "This is your day Harry, enjoy it"

"Yeah mate, we'll be in the front row" Ron said. His eyes looked glassy and wet like he was about to cry but Harry didn't say anything.

"Thanks guys" Harry said smiling at him. "Which reminds me I should probably get going" He said walking out the door.

"See you soon" Ron called out giving him a wave.

He walked over to the entry way to see Draco already standing there in a gleaming white tux, it took Harry's breath away. He kissed him gently on the cheek and grabbed his hand. "I love you" he said

"I love you more" Draco replied

Hagrid walked up behind them and tapped Harry on the shoulder. "I'm so proud of you" he said smiling, tears leaking out of his eyes. "I figured since I delivered you to the Dursley's when you were a baby an' took you away when you were grown then I should be the one to let you go." he said blowing his nose on an extra-large tissue. Harry smiled up at him and nodded his head.

A piano started playing softly, and Harry could hear all the guests rising to their feet. Harry linked arms with Draco and brushed his cheek with his free hand.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Always" Draco replied with a smirk.

"Lead on Hagrid" Harry said. Hagrid walked through the arch. Harry looked at Draco. He couldn't believe he was finally marrying Draco Malfoy, after years of waiting he was finally doing it.

They linked arms and walked out into the garden, fairy lights covered all the trees, giving off a warm glow, and Hermione must have enchanted the arch because the instant they walked through it started snowing in thick white fluffs, covering the ground.

The crowd all clapped when they saw them and Harry nearly laughed when he saw the tears dripping off Ron's face, Fred and George were laughing, but Mrs Weasly slapped them both over the head and Pansy aimed a kick at them before giving Draco a thumbs up. They walked over to Kingsley who had volunteered to be the officiate today.

The ceremony was brief, neither of them wanted a particularly long one. Harry and Draco Said their Vows to each other, both desperately trying to hold back the tears that were threating to spill.

"Do you Harry James Potter take Draco Lucius Malfoy to be your lawfully wedded husband in sickness and in health till death do you part?" Kingsley said with a deep voice, finally they were coming to the conclusions of the ceremony.

"I do" Harry replied looking into Draco's eyes.

"And do you Draco Lucius Malfoy take Harry James Potter to be your lawfully wedded husband in sickness and in health till death do you part?"

"I do" Draco said, a couple of tears sliding down his face. Harry wiped them away with his thumb.

"Then I now pronounce you-" Kingsley started to say but Harry cut him off.

"Wait, I want to say something" he said, the crowd fell silent and Draco looked at him with a confused expression, Harry took a deep breath before continuing. "Draco, I once made a promise to you, I promised that I would always return. Well now I want to change that promise. Draco Lucius Malfoy, I promise to always be there for you, no matter what. I promise that I will always remain by your side, I won't ever leave and most importantly I promise that no matter what happens, we will go through it together. I promise that where ever we go it'll be home."

Draco looked at him completely stunned and then a look of pure adoration replaced it. He took a shaky breath before replying "and I promise to love you until the end of time and a little bit longer" the crowed let out a soft aw and Harry could hear the sobs coming from a few certain people.

"Then I now pronounce you married" Kingsley said a smile on his lips. Harry and Draco shared a kiss full of love and blissfulness. Hermione, Ron and Pansy were all crying and clapping and the twins wisely kept a straight face but only because Mrs Weasley was shooting them death glares.

-------------------------------------

Ron tapped his glass with his fork and stood up, looking very pleased with the fact that he didn't smash the glass. He had been practising all week. He cleared his throat and begun his speech. "I never once would have thought that Harry and Draco could have happened. For most of their school life it was very rare that they had even a reasonably civil conversation, but one year something changed and I'm glad it did. Never have I seen Harry as happy as he is when Draco is around so I guess I owe you a thanks Malfoy" the guests chuckled at that. "Thanks for making my best friend the man he is today" Ron finished sitting down. People clapped and then Hermione stood up.

"I have to say that I knew Harry and Draco were going to end up together, I mean it was obvious, Harry was obsessed with him ever since 1st year, and from what Pansy has told me, Draco was the same. Even though I was expecting it I was still surprised when Harry told me, I mean who wouldn't? they were always at each other's throats. But I'm glad they got together, they were made for each other. So Harry, I wish you all the best with Draco." She said raising her glass. Hermione sat down and Pansy stood up.

"Draco, I just wanted to say it's about time" she smirked winking at him, Harry laughed when Draco's cheeks turned bright red. "All through school it was, Potter this and Potter that I was wondering if you would ever figure it out! But I'm glad you did, and I'm glad Harry returned your feelings. Anyway even if he hadn't we rich kids always get what we want in the end, but I'm happy for you Dray, so make the most of it." she said giving a little bow before sitting down.

Music started to play and everybody got up to dance including Harry and Draco.

"I love you" Draco said resting his forehead on Harry's.

"And I love you more, that's a promise" Harry replied pulling Draco in for a kiss.
