The Marriage Law - A Harry Potter Fanfic

Epilogue

"Hermione Jean Granger, I'm not good at this, wedding vows aren't my thing. I'm not brainy like you are, I'm scarred, and have changed so much from when we first fell in love...when we didn't even know what love was. But we know now, nothing can keep us apart. I love you so much and will for the rest of my life. I promise to hold you while you cry, um I won't hit you, and I mean you'll kill me if I did...so."

I laughed softly as Fred's ears went red and the guests behind us laughed. He grinned despite himself and played with my fingers "I promise to love and cherish you, and Dembe."

He looked over at the baby in George's arms and then back at me "I promise to help you clean, and change diapers, although I'm already the one that changes his diapers."

I rolled my eyes and he grinned "We already know your vows, and I promise you...all of that and so much more, I promise to be the funny, smart, caring, loving husband that you deserve. I also promise to trust you, because apparently you don't think that's important enough to put in your vo- OUCH!!"

I glared at him as he rubbed his arm "No stinging hexes at the groom please Pansy Zabini."

I smiled at Pansy smugly "Thank you."

"Anything for my girl."

Fred sighed softly and turned back to me "I love you."

Pansy sniffed pretending to dab her eyes "Thanks Fred."

Fred rolled his eyes "Will you all shut the fuck up so I can finish?"

"Oi!! There's a baby present!! Enough with the swearing!!"

Fred sighed "I guess my vows are over then, I'll tell you later love."

Laughter went through the crowd and the minister spoke softly "I now pronounce you man and wife you may...continue kissing the bride."

I snickered softly as we pulled apart "Hey Fred?"

He leaned back in "Hmm?"

"I can continue kissing you."

He closed his eyes for a second before turning to walk down the aisle "Merlin!! Kill me!! Everyone's out to get me!!"

I laughed and grabbed his arm kissing his lips "I love you."

"I love you too."

A pair of arms wrapped around my waist the next morning as he rubbed his nose on my neck "Last night was...amazing."

"I know, this whole year has been amazing, my parents remember me finally, I can't believe Alex figured it out and I didn't."

"Just because you're the smartest witch of your age doesn't mean you can't give your brother the credit."

I smiled and turned to kiss him "Dembe is an angel."

"I know, I can't believe he's still asleep."

"He is just asleep right? He's not..."

Fred's arms tightened "He's not dead, I checked on him just before I came in the kitchen."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, do you want me to go get him?"

"Please."

Fred nodded and kissed me "One second."

I smiled and kept making breakfast, Fred came back out holding our sleeping baby in his arms "He's still asleep."

I stopped mixing the waffles and walked over with a smile "He's so gorgeous."
