THE PRIEST had run away, seeing the dead people enter the small chapel he lived in was terrifying- it might take a bit while before he comes back.
But the skeletons had settled themselves on the benches, and Draco waited on the very end of the isle, waiting in his black suit. He didn't feel upset about this- besides his mother, there was no one, and nothing keeping him up here.
So it really was no problem.
Once everyone was settled, they waited, and locked their eyes (some that had them.) on the door on the other side of the short isle.
Just a moment later, Y/N entered the small chapel, her gown beautifully fit on her body, and her veil covering her beautiful face.
Everyone smiled seeing the girl. This was it, she was going to meet the happiness she's been dreaming of.
Draco himself couldn't help but get lost at the sight of the girl. Merlin, how ever did he fall in love with her? The corpse bride?
Stopping by the altar, Y/N smiled up at the boy, her eyes glinting with joy through the thin fabric on her face, "How do I look?" she asked in a low mumble.
The blonde gave her a loving smile, "Like my wife," he said, making the girl blush- even though she can't physically do that, really.
Olke, being the one to marry the young couple, cleared his throat, and with that, the two faced him, both couldn't keep the smiles off their faces.
"Are the both of you ready- are you both sure for this?" asked Olke before starting.
Both Y/N and Draco nodded, "We're sure," they said, almost at the same time.
The old skeleton just nodded, "Very well," he said, and with that, he started the ceremony, "Let's skip the boilderplate and get straight to the vows. The living first- Draco Malfoy, please do," said Olke.
Draco nodded, and took a deep breath, but before he could start, Y/N slipped off her ring and gave it to the blonde with a small chuckle. Draco let out an embarrassed laugh, and finally continued, "With this hand, I will life your sorrows. Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine," he said, and took a candle from the table, lifting it up, "With this candle, I will light your way into darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine."
He slipped the ring into the girl's boney finger, making the girl smile- but she couldn't help but feel guilty for some reason.
As if she forced Draco into this- which she didn't.. right?
"Now you," Olke nodded at Y/N.
Clearing her throat, she took a deep breath, "With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine-"
She stopped, her breath hitching when her eyes caught the sight of two girls. The other she knew, but the other, not really.
Astoria's eyes were wide as the full moon as she and her sister hid by the door. Y/N saw the tears in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Go on, Y/N," said Olke, making the girl snap out of her trance.
Swallowing the lump in her throat, she forced herself to just look at the blonde, who smiled lightly at her, "With this candle.. I light.." she trailed off, her eyes making its way to Astoria, Who slowly made her way inside the chapel, "I light your way.."
Y/N looked down. The guilt she's feeling was unbearable. She can't do this- Draco was never hers. This isn't supposed to be about her.
"Y/N..? What's wrong?"
