It's been 3 years since the terrible war. Three years since Harry and Charddonay Allura Potter (commonly known by her middle name) defeated the Dark Lord. And since the war did wipe out a good amount of population, the ministry decided to walk down...

At 5pm sharp, a well dressed Allura Potter entered Leaky Cauldron.

"Malfoy." She greeted when she spotted him.
"Potter." He replied civilly, standing up. He motioned for her to take the seat opposite him as he sat down himself.
"First, is there any way out of this?" Allura asked immediately.
"Unfortunately Not." Draco replied, pursing his lips a for a few seconds. "So we have no choice but to get started with the wedding planning." He said with displeasure.
"Yeah, we have maximum 10 days to get everything done. Isn't that perfect?" Allura said sarcastically.
"You'll learn that my mother is rather gifted with these things." Draco replied with a tight, forced smile. "The wedding will take place at the Manor. Is that agreeable?"
"Anywhere is fine." Allura replied.
"My mother can take care of the decorations unless..." Draco asked silently, raising an eyebrow.
"That will be appreciated." Allura replied hastily.
After about 15 minutes of forced talking and awkward silences, Narcissa Malfoy entered the pub.
"Hello dear." She greeted, kissing her son's forehead.
"Miss Potter." She greeted inclining her head.
"Mrs. Malfoy." Allura greeted back with the same gesture.
"There's no need for formalities." Mrs. Malfoy smiled. "I trust the pair of you have discussed, at the very least, the basics?"
"We have." Allura told.
"The wedding shall take place at the Manor. Take care of the decorations, will you, mother?" Draco asked.
"That would be lovely! And of course I will." Narcissa replied. "Now, Draco, if memory serves right you had work at Gringotts? Miss Potter and I can further discuss the arrangements."
Draco nodded, standing up and leaving with a polite 'see you later' aimed at Allura and a kiss on his mother's cheek.
"I don't believe you have a dress just yet, do you?" Narcissa asked, taking a seat.
"Not yet."
"Ah, lovely. I know an amazing place where you can get one. Of course, I can only recommend a few places. Nothing more." Narcissa told her.
"I'd like that." Allura said softly.
"There are some Malfoy traditions that we would love for you to continue at your wedding. It was how I got married, my mother in law before me, her mother in law before her and so on for over a century." Narcissa said.
"Umm..yeah, sure." Allura nodded, praying that they weren't too bad.
"Great!" Narcissa said, her eyes lighting up. "Well, we generally have many bridesmaids and groomsmen. Do you have a list of your bridesmaids?"
"Umm...yes. There aren't a lot of them though. Uh..There's Hermione, Ginny, Tonks and Luna."
"Anyone else?" Narcissa asked.
"Fleur. I was a bridesmaid at her wedding too." Allura added.
"That's five." Narcissa said.
"Do I need more?" Allura asked, wondering what the point of this was.
"May I recommend some others who can walk down? They need not be present for any other activities. Just enough to even out the number of groomsmen Draco has." Narcissa told.
"He has already decided?" Allura asked surprised.
"Oh yes. Theodore Nott as the best men. Followed by Blaise Zabini, Vincent, Gregory, Adrian, Morag, Roger Davies, Kevin Entwhistle, Thomas Gray, Stephen Cornett, Malone Roger and Ernest Rosier."
"That's 12!" Allura said, shocked.
"Yes, I know." Narcissa replied. "Lucius and I had 17 people each."
"I can add Gabrielle as well." Allura said.
"That still requires 6 more." Narcissa said.
"May I suggest Daphne and Astoria Greengrass, Pansy Parkinson, Lily Moon, Tracy Davis and Millicent Bulstrode? Only to walk down, that is. They need not be included in any other activity you don't require them for or want them in." The older woman promised.
After thinking it over for a couple of minutes, Allura nodded.
By the end of the day, Narcissa and Allura has decided on her dresses and jewellery, since Narcissa has insisted that she wear a different one for the wedding ceremony and another for the reception. __________________________________________________ Hey guys! I hope you didn't find this chapter too boring. It was more of a filler than anything else. The main portion of the story starts after the wedding anyways. Do vote, comment, follow, share and add.
