Chapter Six- The Wedding...?
The walk down to the thrones had never seemed so long. The hall was decorated with a mixture of reds, greens, gold's and silvers and the King and Queen stood before their thrones with Dudley a meter or so in front of them, eagerly awaiting his groom. Dressed in red and silver he looked both stupid and fat. Dumbledore (who was officiating) stood draped in white behind him and two alter boys stood on either side, their hoods masking their faces. The hall was packed on either side leaving a gap large enough to walk through. The way had been lined with a plush red carpet. Near Dudley (on his far left) sat a wooden box, supposedly filled with the wedding gifts.
After a brief pause Draco took a deep breath and began to walk. His parents walked around a meter in front of him and Harry was directly by his side. They were half way down when the music stopped. Confused, Lucius and Narcissa paused. The two alter boys threw back their hood to reveal Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. Before the King, Queen, and Prince knew what was happening they were seized and pushed roughly to their knees. Dumbledore opened the chest and dozens of poisons snakes immerged wrapping themselves around the three Gryffindor 'royals' who suddenly stopped struggling, remaining very still as the snakes hissed at them. The villages rapidly pulled out every sort of makeshift weapon available (axes, homemade clubs, large sticks, small rakes etc.) and crowded even closer to the throne leaving no room to escape. Four people came forward and grabbed Lucius and Narcissa and dragged them slightly aside. They struggled, protesting loudly about respect. Draco looked at them apologetically.
"Release them. They can be trusted not to act" Harry said and (to Draco's immense shock) they hardly hesitated before obeying.
Lucius and Narcissa realized it would probably be very wise to simply wait and see what the hell was going on. Harry and Draco took it upon themselves to finish the walk down the isle where King Vernon was looking at them both with a mixture of fear and hate. Draco looked around. According to the plan this is when the 'Rightful King' made his dramatic entrance… but no one came.
"What is the meaning of this?" King Vernon cried
"You tell me," Harry said calmly, looking at the snakes
"One false move, Vernon, and I'll tell them to bite you. A single bite can kill you twice over and at least ten now hold you" Harry said calmly
"What do you want you worthless freak!" Vernon cried and the crowd hissed with anger pressing closer and muttering threats
"I simply want what was taken. You are not the Rightful King; you do not have an ounce of Royal blood in you. With the Queens permission the true King can take the throne" Harry said turning his gaze to the Queen. She nodded
"I consent," She said loudly. Vernon roared
"Traitor!" He yelled fiercely
"It is you who is the traitor. Now if you'll kindly give up the crown" Dumbledore said calmly
"Never!" Vernon yelled
"I'm afraid you have no choice." Harry said coldly.
"I wont do it!" Vernon protested. Sirius Black (who was also holding him still along with the snakes) looked fairly annoyed
"Just take the bloody thing!" He said, struggling to hold him. Harry sighed
"You've left me no choice then" Harry said as walked towards his uncle. Being a wedding, his uncle had had no choice but to wear the crown, and was no doubt cursing that decision as it was said to be very bad luck indeed for anyone but the rightful ruler to wear it. Harry plucked it off and handed it to Dumbledore
"I, Albus Dumbledore, declare you, Harry James Potter, the true and rightful King of this kingdom. To govern and guide the people, and to rule the country with a wise and honest hand. Do you accept this challenge?" Dumbledore asked, reciting the age-old crowning statement
"I do" Harry answered immediately. Dumbledore placed the crown firmly on his head and for a brief moment the ruby's that adorned it shone with an astounding light. Draco gapped at Harry in absolute shock, as the crowd applauded. Harry turned to the now ex-King
"So, dear uncle, whatever shall I do with you?" He asked, somewhat rhetorically. Draco continued to gape.
"Please… have mercy," Vernon said, by now realizing just how deep a grave he was in.
"Lets see… there's high treason, child abuse, fraud and I'm quite sure your partly responsible for my parent death. After all, someone had to hire Tom and help him into the castle and with your wife being my mother's sister you certainly had the means to do so" Harry mused
"I… well… that is I…" Vernon stuttered hopelessly. Harry sighed
"In any case I refuse to kill him. He is not worthy enough to be killed. No, there are things much worse things than death" Harry said dangerously
"Take him to the tower dungeon" Harry said at last "A lifetime there should be a sufficient punishment"
The tower dungeon that was a dungeon situated in the highest tower, it is the most harshest punishment for most because the walls, ceiling and floor have been spelled to look like glass, so it was if the whole dungeon was suspended in mid air, floating. Since his uncle was irrationally afraid of heights it was worse than death. Two villagers came forward to take him away, Vernon screaming the whole while. Harry turned his gaze to Dudley.
"Now, what to do with you…" he said thoughtfully
"Please, my King, spare my son. I'll look after him, I swear it," His aunt pleaded softly. Harry nodded
"Very well. But I will have to banish both of you and if Dudley ever sets foot near here again I'll do a lot worse than banishment" Harry said and the Queen nodded gratefully
"Go pack" Harry instructed and two more villagers came forward to escort them to their rooms. The nasty bits done with Harry turned to Draco who was still staring at him in utter shock. His eyes kept on drifting from his face to the crown on his head and back again.
"Er… Draco?" Harry asked timidly.
"Potter? Harry Potter? You're the god-damn 'Rightful King?" Draco finally asked. Harry looked slightly uncomfortable.
"Yea" He said uncertainly.
He looked over to were Lucius and Narcissa were standing and made his way over to them, the people bowing respectfully as he went (which he was very aware of)
"Step away from them" Harry said and the people who had been watching them bowed and stepped back. "Thank you," He told them and they seemed slightly shocked at being thanked by a King but bowed their acceptance anyway.
"I'm very sorry about all this. Come" Harry said and he started back up the isle towards Draco, who was still looking rather shocked
He looked at his mother and father when they arrived, then back at Harry
"I knew I recognized him from somewhere. He looks just like his father, James Potter" Lucius said and Harry smiled brightly
"So I've been told," He said happily. He turned his gaze back to Draco
"I only found out about my heritage the day you arrived. As you can imagine I was rather stunned, after all my uncle took every opportunity to make me feel like a worthless servant. I'm so sorry Draco, I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't. I couldn't let you know, I would have ruined everything. I'm sorry, and I'll hope you'll forgive me for this betrayal" Harry said seriously. Draco blinked
"Does this mean I get to marry you?" He asked after a moments pause. Harry smiled slightly and nodded
"Your forgiven" Draco said, a smile finally gracing his lips.
Harry took Draco's hand and led him in front of Dumbledore. As one they got to their knees and Dumbledore cleared his throat.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the holy matrimony of King Harry James Potter and Prince Draco Lucius Malfoy. Do you, Harry James Potter take Draco Lucius Malfoy, in richer or poorer, in sickness and in heath as long as you both shall live?" Dumbledore asked. Harry smiled at Draco softly, eyes filled with love
"I do," He said. Draco shuddered slightly. More beautiful words had never been spoken
"And do you Draco Lucius Malfoy take Harry James Potter, in richer or poorer, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
"I do"
"If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace" Dumbledore said, eyeing the audience dangerously
No one was stupid enough to object
"By the power invested in me I now pronounce you married, you may kiss" Dumbledore said. With a soft smile Harry leant forward and kissed Draco gently on the lips. The crowd applauded loudly
"I present you King Harry James Potter-Malfoy and King Draco Lucius Malfoy-Potter, rulers of the Gryffindor Kingdom. Long Live The Kings!"
He cried and the crowd went wild. Over all the noise Harry, now king of Gryffindor, got to his feet, pulling his new husband with him.
"Your not terribly mad are you?" Harry asked as a loud (and no doubt lengthy) party was started up
"I still can't believe it" Draco said shaking his head slightly "You know how miserable I was and you said nothing"
"I couldn't! I'm so sorry Draco; I'll do anything to make it up to you! What can I do?" Harry asked desperately
"Well…" Draco said, eyeing Harry as though he was a particularly delectable piece of candy, lust clouding strongly in his eyes
"I can maybe think of something you can do to make it up to me." He purred and Harry blushed slightly
No one noticed as the two Kings bolted urgently from the room a soft, possessive smile gracing both their lips.
They weren't seen again till much, much later.
Oh!
- And they alllived happily ever after.
THE END!
