Author's Note: This is the end. This story has really been a labor of love for me. It's taken the better part of a year of my life. I started it the summer before my Junior year, and here I am finishing it a month into my Senior year. It almost makes me want to cry, being done with it. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Thank you so much for all the reviews. I'm to 300 thanks to you! That means more to me than you could ever know. Thank you.
In the not so distant future…
Ginny turned from the mirror, wringing her hands. "I can't do this," she said.
Hermione stepped forward and adjusted her friend's veil. "Yes you can."
She shook her head. "I really can't, we're too young, and we're not ready. There's so much to think about. I just…"
Hermione rested her hands on Ginny's shoulders. "Listen to me Gin, you're ready for this. You've known Harry since you were ten, you've been in love with him since you were ten and he loves you. Besides, twenty-four is three years older than Draco and I were. You're going to be fine, just take a deep breath."
"Okay, you're right. Harry and I love each other and we're ready to spend the rest of our lives together. I'm okay, I'm okay."
"Yes you are, now finish getting ready and I'll be back in a minute." Hermione left the room and rested her head against the cool wood of the door she had just shut.
"How's Ginny?" Draco asked from behind her.
She fell into his arms. "She's a nervous wreck, but she's going to be fine. How's Harry?"
He shrugged. "About the same."
"Were we this crazy the day of our wedding?"
"If we were then were just getting a taste of how Ginny and Blaise and Harry felt that day."
"I hope they'll be as happy as we are."
He smiled. "They will be."
Just then Arthur Weasley walked up. "Where's Ginny, is she ready? I can't walk down the aisle without the bride!"
"Take a deep breath Arthur, she's ready. Go wait by the door and I'll bring her over." The frazzled father went back the way he had coming, breathing rather deeply.
Hermione sighed. "I'll go get Ginny. You'd better go get Harry in place."
Draco kissed her sweetly. "See you up there."
Ten minutes later Hermione was heading down the aisle in front of Ginny. When she saw Harry waiting for his bride and Draco standing next to him as best man she completely lost it; she tearfully took the bouquet and cried through the entire ceremony. When she and Draco walked back down the aisle together when it was all over she had barely gotten control of herself.
"You okay love?" Draco asked.
She nodded. "I'm just so happy for them."
At the reception Draco was busy talking to Jennifer and Chudley when Hermione dropped into his lap. "Hey baby," he said, wrapping his arms around her waist. "How are you holding up?"
"I'm okay, but it's been a tiring day. After all, it's not every day that you get to be the Maid of Honor in your two best friends' wedding."
"I know what you mean," Jennifer said. 'But it's always a bridesmaid and never a bride if you're me."
"That's okay mum, its nice having you all to myself," Chudley said through a mouth full of cake.
Jennifer kissed her son's forehead. "Thank you sweetheart, why don't you go congratulate your aunt Ginny?" The boy ran off and his mother smiled. "He's gotten so big; I just wish he had a dad. It's bad enough that his real father ended up in St. Mungo's but no man wants to be with a woman with a child." She sighed. "I'd best go and look after him."
Hermione grinned. "She hasn't got a clue that Blaise is head over heals for her does she?"
Draco shook his head. "Nope."
She bent and kissed him passionately. "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For being such a wonderful husband, for always being there; I love you."
"I love you too baby." A familiar song filtered through and he smiled. "You remember this?"
"The Halloween Ball the night after we made up; you sang to me, and you told me that you wanted to be my everything. I could never forget that night."
"Neither could I. Come on, let's dance.
The first time I looked in your eyes I knew
That I would do anything for you
The first time you touched my face I felt
Like I've never felt with anyone else
I wanna give back what you've givin' to me
And I wanna witness all of your dreams
Now that you've shown me who I really am
I wanna be more then just your man
I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
And be the hand that lifts your veil
And be the moon that moves your tide
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything...
When you wake up, I'll be the first thing you see
And when it gets dark you can reach out for me
I'll cherish your words and I'll finish your thoughts
And I'll be your compass baby, when you get lost
I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
And be the hand that lifts your veil
And be the moon that moves your tide
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything...
Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything
"Know what?" he asked.
"What?"
He bent down to whisper in her ear. "I still want to be your everything."
She looked up at him with tears shining in her eyes. "You already are."
