Black-and-white - life is beautiful (Translation)

65. As it should be back then

"We came here today to find a better start and wipe out James Potter."
Harry and Severus snorted as they heard these opening sentences. they knew what they were getting into when they asked Nicolas to do the wedding ceremony. They had suspected and hoped for something like this. especially after he found out that he and Albus would have been able to take care of the twins at night, you might have thought they had a holiday. In retrospect, the couple did not know what they had ridden to entrust the two old kids their children but they still thought it was a good idea. The rest of her friends had enough to do with their own offspring or one that was coming. luna slept badly because the children used their bladder and kidneys as a trampoline and the triplets were just testing their limits again. and Molly couldn't either because she had to take care of Hermione around the clock, who would otherwise have overbrewed the caring Ron, or would have run out of frustration. Only the old men remained and they were very happy with it. nothing loved them as much as spoiling children. Good, and to make a wedding party laugh as you noticed at Nic.

"Sorry, joking aside, but I always wanted to say that. Forgive an old man who just couldn't hold back. But now further, at that time I could not attend your wedding ceremony, which in retrospect annoyed me only my own stubbornness prevented me from not being able to celebrate your wedding. That's why I'm all the happier that you have given me the honor to trust you today. almost nothing could make me happier than bringing two souls who deserved more than everyone else together. You two have had enough battles in the past, it is finally time for you to calm down. and how could you start the future better than with a second wedding? Incidentally, I think it's very clever of you that you have decided to celebrate your first wedding anniversary as the only one. It would be more than embarrassing to forget two wedding anniversaries. even if one of the two partners also has a birthday on this day. So you have averted this danger in advance. "
"He talks without finding a common thread."
"Quiet back there, I'm sure you weren't better either," Nic complained to his husband.
and already the society burst out laughing again.

Harry and Severus grinned knowingly. It was completely clear to them why the two men held such a dance. They wanted to comfort the shadow that was called James Potter, which lay over the whole event. was married today because there was no other way around the contract, but that shouldn't take away the joy of the celebration. And no one was better placed to take a situation's severity than Albus and Nic. It also didn't make the children bored.
So it went through the whole ceremony with a lot of wit but also beautiful stories. Nic repeatedly emphasized the courage and love of the two grooms, which brought tears to Harry's eyes several times. when the alchemist also spoke about how much each of those present loved the two snapes, it was over with Severus ’mastery. he remembered the support they both had from their friends, not their family, when the deal came out. He silently thanked each and every one of them for their willingness to help.
"We love you too," croaked the man, overwhelmed.
Everyone would have expected such words from Harry, but Severus' was still something completely different, even today. When this man spoke so openly of his feelings, it meant a lot. And so you could hear sniffles in the next second.
"You broke it," Harry whispered to his husband.
"No, I got her in the right wedding mood. It's also true, ”he clarified.
Harry smiled and was about to kiss his husband.
"Hey, we're not there yet. do you really have to imitate my husband and me? We will bind you together again first. Which is probably a mere formality, you would not even be able to deal with a very magical crowbar. And we are all very happy about that. let's shake hands, today you will be connected with an alchemical magic. Are you ready?"
The two men nodded and watched as Nic drew some incantations into the air. these turned into alchemical signs and wrapped around the bandaged hands of Harry and Severus. All but one sign finally disappeared again, the last would stay. So they had discussed it. You could take off a wedding ring, but not such a sign. Both wizards wanted to show everyone that they belonged together forever. Nothing and nobody should ever be able to separate them again. And certainly not someone from the afterlife who had nothing left to say anyway.
"Now you can kiss, but please consider that children are present," Nic smiled.
As if the two men needed an invitation. Severus immediately pulled his man into a kiss that easily outshone that of Nic and Albus. Harry couldn't help but think that it should have been the same at her first wedding. But then he stopped thinking and surrendered to the sensation. In the end, they really had to be separated because they really ignored their surroundings.
