Peculiar ~A T.R fanfiction~

Chapter 32 ~The Speech~

It was a normal day for the two. Both had no more work to do. Julietta and Tom stood in the kitchen making dinner together. "Let's get married." offered Tom and Julietta answered "Okay." That was it. They decided to get married. Plans were made. The tabloids found out and soon the news was everywhere. Since Tom had built up his reputation as a duller, retaking the last name Gaunt, he was famous. Since Julietta was a Goldwood the news was everywhere. It would not leave the lips of any of the public. Every single person in the cream of wizarding society hoped for an invite. 

In a white and gold dress, Julietta looked stunning. The white of the dress made her eyes pop. The gold offset her white hair and they had placed gold shimmer making her skin glow. Her brother had his arm entwined with hers as they were about to walk down the ile. First went Jezebel, Maria, and Kadia in dark green dresses. "Are you sure you want to do this? We could still run now. Go to the Peculiar where he can't take your innocence away." said Amon and Julietta laughed "Brother don't be so protective. I love Thomas and we will be wed. Besides, imagine the talk. Now let's go."  

Walked down the ile by her brother everyone gasped when they saw her. There had never been a bride so beautiful, graceful and elegant. When Tom saw her his eyes flashed red for a few seconds before they returned to their dark green. Soon enough Julietta stood in front of Tom and they held hands. It was a short ceremony as Julietta and Tom didn't want to waste time. Soon enough the reception was in full swing. By midnight almost everyone had gone home aside from Julietta's friends, family, and Tom's friends. Lavish gifts piled up on a table in the corner of the room. Each person trying to show up the next with their gift. Food had been served from a world-class chef and their family friend of a chocolate had designed the most impressive and tasty cake in a decade. Every important person in the wizarding and Muggle world showed up from the Mister of Magic to Hepzibah Smith. No expense had been spared in the first Goldwood wedding in a long time. Any previous weddings had been purely on paper without a ceremony.

 A very drunk Maria stood up to give a speech. "Tom Riddle had every girl in love with him at Hogwarts. Julietta was the only one who could capture the eye of him. Seriously girls would drape themselves over him but she managed to get him. She was smarter and prettier and specialer. I don't care if that isn't a word. We all had to watch them be perfect. We all had to watch her take our love away from us." said Maria and Tom interrupted "Stop! Leave. I will not let you be jealous of Julietta's success and happiness just because you are bitter." Amon and Kadia smiled at the defense of her sister. "Don't you get it, Tom. I love you!" screamed Maria and Tom grabbed her hand before they apparated away. 

Jezebel seemed confused as to while he would leave with her but Julietta wasn't stressed. Tom returned a few seconds later without Maria. Amon breathed out a sigh of relief as he wouldn't want to kill his sister's husbands because Tom cheated on his sister. Tom sat down next to Julietta and kissed her lightly. "What did you say?" asked Julietta and Tom answered "Nothing. I took her away and left her so that she couldn't continue to ruin the event. Did you know she was in love with me?" Julietta nodded and said "I always suspected it but I thought it was just a small crush. Now let us go on our honeymoon." Julietta said her goodbyes to her family and friends while Tom watched from the side. He kept his eyes on Julietta in fear that he might lose her if he lets his eyes wander off of her. 

With their hands clasped together, they soon arrived on a private island. No people within kilometers. Tom despised sharing his wife so he chose a honeymoon destination where he could keep her all to himself. When the two got to the Villa Tom unzipped the back off her dress. It slid off of her and Julietta pulled at her hair until it all fell out of its tight updo. "Shall we go for a swim?" asked Julietta and Tom growled. He obviously had something else in mind but Julietta was all too happy to tease him. Since it was late at night in London but in the different timezone, it was late in the morning. As Julietta played in the water Tom was happy to watch her. Occasionally she would make the water go into large balls and she would throw them at Tom but he would always block or defect them. 

Julietta was happily swimming around when a boat full of tourists passed. Then Tom became very aware of how much skin her bikini exposed. The people let their eyes run over the two half-naked young adults. Tom dived into the water and swam over to Julietta. Normally hugging would be a sweet gesture but Tom did it so that he could mark his territory and cover her body with his. "This is a privately owned island. You two can't be here." said the tour guide as the boat came closer to them. "I am very aware it is privately owned as my family are the ones who own it. You are technically trespassing as the waters around it are privately owned too. If you could please leave that would be perfect." said Julietta, clearly not impressed. Quickly the boat left and the newly married couple went inside. Tom was furious that some Muggles tried to order them around. "Thomas calm down my love. We have two weeks, alone, just you and me," said Julietta before kissing him. She calmed him down and he began to return the kiss.
