Everyone was now sitting in the massive winter garden Hermione and Narcissa had designed a few years ago when it was decided to rebuild the Manor ahead of the family's move back to England. Hermione could see everyone from her window and when she heard a soft knock on the door she knew it meant it was time.
"You look absolutely breathtaking my darling!" Her father said upon seeing his daughter dressed as a bride for the first time. "Are you ready to re-marry Draco in front of everyone?"
"Of course."
They walked down the main staircase of Malfoy Manor and down the long corridor out back, where they could access the Winter Garden that was located in front of the old balcony that used to connect to the grounds.
"Mione, you look beautiful!" Said Harry who was waiting for her with the rest of the bridal party waiting for the wedding to start, giving her a kiss on the cheek "I cannot believe my sister's getting married."
"Draco's not ready for this vision of Heaven." Blaise commented kissing Hermione's other cheek. "He's punching so much above his weight."
They stayed there waiting for the time the ceremony would start, chatting and complimenting Hermione who was busy making sure all her kids were prepared for the special role each of them had been given.
Suddenly everyone went silent on the other side of the door and a melody started playing, after a thumbs up from Pansy the doors opened and everyone knew it was show time.
Orion, now 4 and a half years old, was the first to step down the staircase into the Winter Garden, each of his grandmothers on one of his arms as he escorted them down the aisle to their first row seats.
After them came Blaise, who upon reaching the altar smirked at his best friends giving him a bro-hug while whispering "She looks like a goddess, you're one lucky bastard!". Following Blaise came Harry with Astoria, Roger with Parvati, Neville with Hannah and Theo with Luna.
Then came the twins, who much to their parents delight had started walking in October, at ten months, therefore filling in the role as ring bearers. Closely behind them came Ginny, who kept her eyes on the little ones all along to make sure they didn't trip, when she looked up at Draco she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thank you for loving Hermione unconditionally, I'm so proud two of my best friends will spend forever together."
After making sure Rigel and Maia were sitting in their places, Ginny took her place just as Aurora was reaching the end of the aisle having concluded her role as a flower girl. The little girl gave her dad's a quick kiss and then went to her seat next to her granny.
The melody changed to a Muggle song "At last", before the doors opened again to let Hermione and her father walk down, Blaise mouthed to his friend "Enjoy.".
The second the doors opened and they could finally see each other Hermione's and Draco's eyes were glued to each other. She could see the moment his mind finally caught up to what he was seeing and tears built up in both lovers' eyes. As they reached the altar Mr Granger kissed his daughter and put her hand on top of Draco's "There's no one else I'd rather call my son, thank you for taking care of her and making my princess your queen!".
"Of course Sir." Draco looked back to the stunning woman in front of him and he lacked the words to explain how he felt on that moment. The only phrase he was able to formulate in his state of shock was the thing that was always on his mind when he was next to Hermione "I love you!"
"Good, because I love you too!" She replied leaning her forehead against her lover's for a second, as if she was trying to print this moment in her memory forever.
The wedding ran smoothly, Lee Jordan officiated the ceremony and, true to himself, he made little jokes here and there making the crowd laugh. But then it was time for the bride and groom to read the vows they had written themselves so Lee passed the word to Draco.
"Last month my darling wife told me I had to start writing my vows, just to make sure I knew what I wanted to say. I knew full well what I wanted to say, but knowing she wouldn't rest until I had something on paper, I went to the attic and looked through old boxes until I found this." He pulled what seemed to be a letter out of his pocket. "This is a letter I wrote to you, Hermione, exactly ten years ago after coming back home from that little café in Australia. I never gave it to you cause I was saving it for a special occasions and I figured out this today is as special as it will get." He unfolded the letter and everyone went quiet.
