A year later

"This place looks amazing, Hermione. You really did a good job," said Harry.

It was Harry and Severus's wedding day, and Hermione had designed the whole wedding at the Burrow. It was a beautiful July day, and Harry was standing in front of the mirror as Hermione and Ginny struggled with Harry's hair. "Severus's hair wasn't this difficult," Ginny complained.

"Severus's hair is sexy and beautiful," Harry complained. "Mine is just..." He searched for a word. "Well, difficult."

"Are you nervous to see him today?" Hermione asked him as she sprayed Harry's hair with product, knowing even as she did that it wouldn't help.

"A little," Harry said, blushing. He was actually very nervous, but he didn't want to let on.

"It's just Severus," Ginny reminded him, trying one last charm on Harry's hair. "Ha! There we go."

"Now let's just hope it stays that way," grumbled Hermione. As the wedding designer, she had been busy all morning and was now in a bad mood.

"Don't even say it, Hermione!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Can I have a moment alone, guys?" Harry asked them.

"Of course. See you out there!" Hermione grinned at him and Ginny winked before the girls left the room.

I'm getting married today, Harry thought, more and more nervous as the minutes passed. He couldn't believe this was his wedding day.

There was a knock at the door. "Can I come in?" Sirius's voice asked, muffled because of the door.

"Sure," Harry called, and his godfather stood beside him moments later. "You look awesome." Sirius was wearing a tuxedo that made him look shockingly younger.

"Well, thank you. So do you." Harry and Severus had worn simple but beautiful wedding robes, each decorated with their house colors. "Have you seen Severus today?" Harry hadn't seen him since yesterday afternoon. They had both been busy with bachelor parties and wedding preparations, and all Harry wanted was to be in his lover's arms.

"Yeah, I have," Sirius said. "So, are you ready?"

"I am," Harry said. "I love him, and I want it to be forever."

Sirius smiled. "You two," he said, shaking his head. "Romeo and Juliet have some competition, don't they?"

Harry chuckled. "You are okay with this, right?" he asked. "Me marrying Severus? I know your history with him is-"

Sirius held up a hand. "The day Severus proposed to you, he asked for my blessing. I said yes."

"Really?"

"Really. Harry, you and him both deserve to be happy," Sirius said. "I was shocked and furious at first, but after seeing how much you two love each other, I couldn't say no. You should have seen the look on Severus's face when he asked me, like he desperately needed my approval." He chuckled.

"Thank you Sirius. I love you." Harry pulled him into a tight, warm hug.

"I love you too, Harry." Sirius's arms wrapped around him. "It's going to be different without you living with me. Promise you'll visit?"

"Of course. I promise." Harry kissed his cheek and pulled back.

Hermione poked her head in the door. "Guys! It's time," she said.

Harry's heart raced in his chest as Sirius walked him down the aisle. When they turned the corner around the house, Harry's breath caught when he saw Severus standing by the altar. Dumbledore was marrying them, and he stood beside Severus, smiling. Severus hadn't decided to have any groomsmen, but Harry's bridesmaids were all there as well - Hermione was his maid of honor, and she, Luna and Ginny stood beside her in dazzling red and gold dresses.

They reached the altar, and Harry met Severus's gaze. His onyx eyes sparkled and Harry's heart skipped a beat as Sirius put Harry's hand in Severus's. "Take care of him," Sirius said.

"Always." Severus smiled at Harry, who couldn't stop himself from launching himself into Severus's arms. He held Harry tightly, and Harry clung to him, despite all the people watching them. There were "awww"s from the audience, and Harry's face was burning when they reluctantly pulled away.

Severus kept his arm around Harry's waist during the entire ceremony, until it was time for them to recite their vows. They had each written personal vows to make it more special and intimate. Harry went first, and he spoke around the lump in his throat. "Severus," he said, taking out the folded paper in the pocket of his robes. "This past year with you has been the best year of my life. You have brought me so much happiness, and so much love, and it is exactly what I needed after my childhood. I can't thank you enough, but maybe I can start with forever." He blinked, struggling not to cry even as tears were streaming down Severus's cheeks. Harry was happy to see that Severus didn't appear to be ashamed of his tears, for there was no reason to be. Severus had begun to let people back into his life. "You have taught me so much and given me everything I have wanted my whole life - family, friendship, love, and a home. You are all of those things to me." Harry sniffled and Severus reached out to take Harry's face in his hands, gently wiping away the tears that had begun to flow. "I am so happy to be starting our life together as a married couple. I love you more than anything."

After the clapping had died down, and Harry and Severus had managed to pull themselves together long enough to finish the ceremony, Severus began his vows. "Even though I was your teacher, you have taught me more than I could ever have taught you," he began. "You taught me how to move on, and how to love again. After what happened with Lily, I never thought I would find someone who would love me this much, who would so completely and unconditionally accept me for who I am - the good and the bad. Harry, I am the luckiest man in the world to have found someone as special, kind, compassionate, and brave as you. And I am so honored to be able to spend forever with you. I love you so much."

Dumbledore smiled. After the exchanging of rings, he said, "I now pronounce you husband and husband. You may kiss your groom."

Severus pulled Harry into his arms and kissed him deeply. Harry melted into the kiss, wrapping his arms around Severus's neck as their tongues brushed. Harry held back a moan - they were in front of their friends and family! - and was blushing when his new husband finally let him go. Their audience clapped and Harry and Severus smiled at each other. Harry had never felt more in love and happy than he had in this moment.

Two weeks later

Harry and Severus stepped into the bright, open house. They had just returned from their honeymoon and were searching for a place to live. They were currently living at the Burrow, which was extremely crowded, but they had nowhere else to stay at the moment. It was clear that Harry and Severus needed their own space, and the Weasleys often teased them about being loud. "I'll let you take a look around," the realtor said, and went outside to talk to the home owners.

Harry and Severus walked around on the first floor of the house before going upstairs. The younger man pushed open a door, revealing a guest room with a double bed, a dresser, and a nightstand. "I wonder if the house comes with the furniture," said Harry, shivering when he felt Severus's hands on his hips from behind, pulling him against the Potions Master's body. "Sev. This is someone else's house."

Harry and Severus weren't a particularly adventurous couple, but they were newlyweds who hadn't had a chance to be alone all day. "And?" Severus asked, trailing kisses down Harry's neck. "It's never stopped us at the Weasleys'."

"Good point." Harry turned around and kissed him on the lips, his heart pounding fast. Their kiss was messy and hot and Harry pressed against Severus, moaning, craving more. His erection pressed against Severus's leg, and Harry whimpered when his husband put his hand over the tent in the Gryffindor's jeans, stroking gently. "S-Severus!" Another moan. Harry's erection throbbed, and his head was spinning with fantasies about him and Severus.

"Oh, I like when you beg for me," Severus mumbled against his lover's lips.

"Please, Sev," Harry said, placing his hands on Severus's chest. His heart was also beating fast. "Please." As Severus touched him, Harry was struggling to get the Potions Master's shirt unbuttoned. There were just so many buttons!

Severus had already unbuttoned Harry's jeans and sunk his hand into his underwear, earning a whimper from Harry. "Having trouble?" he teased as Harry tugged on his shirt buttons.

Harry glared. "You're a git," he said, and kissed him hard. He began to pull Severus over to the bed, but then there was a knock at the door. "Er, Mr. and Mr. Potter-Snape? Are you in there?"

Harry and Severus quickly dressed and opened the door. "Hello," Harry said to the realtor.

"You closed the door," she said in an accusing tone.

"Yes, well...it was automatic." Harry grabbed his husband's hand and tugged him down the hall. "The rest of the house is great. How long do Severus and I have to make a decision?"

"A week, Mr. Potter-Snape," the realtor answered. Harry smiled at the name - he could get used to it.

"We'll take it," Severus said to the realtor, surprising Harry.

"Really?" Harry loved the house, more so than the others, but he wasn't sure how Severus felt.

"I know you love it," Severus said. "It is my favorite as well. I think we will be happy here."

Harry smiled and kissed him, right in front of the realtor. "All right, then," he said, his heart swelling with happiness. He was finally home.

AN: I hope you guys liked the story! SO sorry it took so long to update, I couldn't think of anything unique to write for the epilogue. Also, I am going to write a sequel to "Occlumency Lessons" called "Love Lessons" which will be about Severus and Harry's married life together. I'm not sure when the sequel will be posted as I haven't even written it yet. But I just wanted to make the announcement, so keep your eyes open for it :)

Thank you to all who favorited/followed/reviewed/read this story. You guys motivate me to keep writing. 3
