Riddle Me This

Chapter 80

Catherine's POV

August came faster than Draco and I expected. It seemed that one second we were cuddling in our bed at Spinner's End, the next we were being taken to different rooms to be dressed at Hogwarts.

"How you feeling?" Hermione asked as her and Pansy charmed my hair into curls.

"Nervous. Excited." I admitted.

"You had to choose a princess styled wedding gown?" Pansy asked as she was helping lace up the back of said dress. I shrugged.

"What can I say." I said, smiled lightly. "I'm marrying the Prince of Slytherin."

"You're already the heiress." Hermione pointed out. I giggled.

"True." I said with a shrug. I looked at myself in the mirror. I could feel anticipation fluttering under my skin like snitches. A low whistle behind me caused the three of us to turn to the door, Blaise leaning against it, already wearing his dress robes.

"Damn, I still can't get over how beautiful you can be, Cat." Blaise said, walking in and looking me up and down. "Draco's a lucky man." I blushed slightly, looking away and clasping my hands together.

"Do you think I look okay? I mean... do you think Draco will..." I trailed off. This may not be his Malfoy wedding, but I still wanted to at least be the perfect bride for a Malfoy.

"Pop a boner and have to restrain from taking you in front of everyone that will be present? I'll be shocked if he didn't." Blaise said, but then his tone went soft. "You're beautiful, Cat. And if Draco doesn't think so when you walk down the aisle, he needs to get his head checked. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. You are more than acceptable as a bride, and any man would be happy to have you." He gently kissed my cheek.

"Making a move on a woman less than an hour before she's to exchange her vows. How shameless are you Blaise?" Pansy teased, causing the darker male to smirk.

"Considering I shagged my boyfriend in the shower before heading over here? I'd say quiet shameless." Blaise said, causing Pansy and I to roll our eyes playfully, while Hermione looked slightly scandalized, but in a playful sense.

"Can you not be sated, Blaise?" Hermione asked. Blaise gave her a devilish smirk.

"You can't tell me that since you got married to Weasley, you haven't been shagging like rabbits." Blaise said, causing Hermione to blush and look away, applying makeup to my face. A knock to the door drew our attention.

"Are you almost ready?" It was Narcissa.

"Almost. You can come in if you want." Pansy called. Narcissa came in and smiled warmly.

"Oh Catherine, you look gorgeous." Narcissa said as she walked closer, taking one of my curls in hand. "Draco is going to be completely astounded." I smiled gently.

"Thank you, Narcissa." I replied with a blush.

"How much longer do we have?" Pansy asked. Narcissa turned to her.

"Everyone is ready, we're just waiting on the bride." Narcissa said, before turning back to me. "You ready?" Narcissa asked. I whistled, calling Sevy from the sconce she was hanging from, a pretty white bow tied to her leg.

"What about you girl? You ready?" Sevy clicked before swooping down to grab the basket of flower petals. It was charmed to have them to come out in intervals, so that she wouldn't have to do any aerial maneuvers to get them out. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves before nodding to Narcissa. "I'm ready." Narcissa smiled as she then left the room, Blaise and the others heading to get where they needed to be. I took another deep breath. It was happening.
