Severus Snape's Sister

XXIII. The Fourth Christmas

Draco Malfoy

It was Christmas Eve again. Draco's nerves were through the roof. He was getting married tomorrow. He smiled at his beautiful fiancée who was looking around the yard. "This is so beautiful," she murmured, admiring the entire scene for the ceremony.

"Just like you," he flirted as he put his arm around her waist.

"Thanks, my love," she said and kissed his forehead. The two admired the scene before going back inside Malfoy Manor. The living room was decorated for the reception. Scorpius came up to them.

"How grand," he said jokingly.

"It truly is," Natasha marveled, ignoring his joking. "Anyway, you should use this opportunity. A wedding is very romantic place," she winked, "so it'd be a good idea to get closer to Albus. Ask him to dance with you."

"I don't... I don't think I should," he said wide eyed.

"I'm just suggesting," she told him.

The next day, Draco had to say goodbye to Natasha in the morning. She went off with Ginny, Hermione, Luna, and her sister Kayla. Draco went off with Harry, Ron, her brother Will, and her brother-in-law Nico.

He put on his suit and went out to the other guys. Will looked happy and sad at the same time. Draco knew he had the fatherly 'I'm going to lose her' train of thought. "I can't believe she's actually grown up this much in less than three years. Treat her as well as you have been, Draco," Will nearly pleaded.

"I will," he promised. He thought about his beautiful Natasha walking down the aisle to him. He smiled and felt like crying.

"You sure as hell better," Nico half-threatened. "I know you will though." He had a slight smile on his face, and from Draco's understanding, that was close to tears of joy for him.

Finally, it was time for the wedding. They all took their places. The music played, and Natasha came in, accompanied by Neville. She was so beautiful. Draco had never even seen her in white, much less sexy makeup.

During the entire wedding, Draco was shaking. He said his vow shakily and kissed her. They were...married. Strange.

At the reception, Draco and Natasha danced. They were joined by Harry and Ginny. Then, Neville and Luna. Will dragged the protesting Nico out, who gave up and lead him. Natasha looked from her husband's face to the other couples. She caught Scorpius's eye and smiled encouragingly. Scorpius shook his head and received a strange look from Albus. He shrugged to Albus, who mimicked him. Scorpius smiled, which Natasha could identify as a 'that's adorable' smile.

After a few more dances, Draco and Natasha sat down with Albus and Scorpius. The boys looked happy. They all laughed and talked until Scorpius's favorite song came on. Scorpius smiled, and Albus looked over at him. Albus said, "I think we could convince Rose to dance with you."

He looked down at the table. "I don't want to dance with Rose," he said quietly.

Albus asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, umm..."

"Well, come on."

"What?"

"You're fucking dancing. Come on." He walked to the dance floor. Natasha smiled at them, and Draco laughed. Scorpius blushed and chased Albus.

The two boys danced together and laughed. They danced like idiots for several more songs. They came back to the table laughing. They sat down and smiled at each other. Scorpius glanced over at Natasha. She smiled and nodded.

"There's something I have to tell you," Scorpius said nervously.

"Can I tell you something first?" Albus asked. Scorpius nodded, and Albus said, "I don't think I'm straight either."

Natasha could barely contain herself. "That's good 'cause I like like you." Albus smiled. The two boys kissed each other awkwardly while Natasha low key fangirled.
