Chapter 22 - Endings and Beginings

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

It has been 3 years since Harry defeated Voldemort. Two years since he came to discover things about himself. Things that have led him to where he is today. A year and 3 months since those things and circumstances brought back to him the one person he could only truely love. His soul mate a bond so very special and rare, a blessing. Today they will be bonded for eternity not only by their souls but by their unique ceremony.

They had decided to do a unique bonding The Ceremony of Roses with modifications but the very idea came from this bonding. The original ceremony is always done in private with only the couple and 2 of their closest friends or family but this was not the case for Harry and Draco. It was going to be their closest friends and family, 2 just wouldn't do.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Malfoy Manor had been transformed over the last 2 days. The ceremony was taking place in the gardens out back next to the lake. A trestle of roses arched high in front. A isle of white and silver silk ran down the middle of chairs for their friends and family on either side. Soft light flickered above from floating candles.

Harry sat in his room at Malfoy Manor with Hermione and Ron. The ceremony would begin at sun down and the time was nearing. He was nervous. Hermione tamed his wild curls for once. Something was going right.His hair rarely tamed. He wore white dress robes lined in blue and silver. Riha had givin him a new eyebrow ring silver with the matching blue stone that also matched his lebret piercing, the same stones that were set in his band.

" Harry, it's almost time hon. " Hermione said to him.

He didn't respond. He just smiled a shy smile. He could feel his soul reaching out and his magic humming through his veins. He sat there feeling content through all his nervousness.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Draco was in his own room with Brad and Riha in the same state as Harry. They had a long talk that morning everything he had ever wanted was finally going to come true. He wore white dress robes lined with silver and green. Riha had givin him the same gift as harry for their ceremony only his stones were green same as his ring. His hair lay delicatly around his face which Riha kept brushing from his eyes. She would be there for him, through this and calm his nerves as much as possible.

" Draco, it's time hon. " She smiled. He smiled stood and took her hand, Brad on the other side of her as they walked him down to the gardens to wait for Harry.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Narcissa stood at the front off to the right playing light violin music. Not many people knew she played and Draco did as well. Something he hadn't even shared with Harry, that would come though. It was something he use to be passionate about , but with the times they were growing up in it was impossible. He had abandoned it long ago. Lily joined Narcissa singing to the music, entertaining their friends and family until it was time.

Ron stepped out first signifying the ceremony was to begin followed by Hermione they walked down the isle and took their respected seats at the front along with Lily and James. The music changed and once Narcissa begin the beautiful song Harry appeared. All he could see was Draco and he never took his eyes off of his lover. In his hand a single white rose, freshly cut , held delicatly so that the thorns never pricked his skin. He began his walk slowly, all eyes on him. His mind racing, his heart thumping and his magic humming louder in his ears and through his body

Draco stood at the front, a single red rose the same cut as Harry's held gently between his fingers. A smile stretching across his face at the sight of his lover. He tried to take a deep breath that hitched in his throat. His magic also humming and drowning out everything else around him.

Harry reached the front of the arch and turned to face Draco. They linked their hands and turned to face Leona who would be bonding them. Not many words were said throughout the ceremony.

Draco took Harry's hand and pricked his middle finger of his right hand and let 2 drops of blood splash onto his white rose that he held in the other hand . Harry then let Draco prick his own finger and let 1 drop splash over the white rose and 1 drop that splashed onto the drops from Harry. Leona spoke a few more words and then it would be their turn.

Slowly turning gazing into each others eyes they spoke their simple vow placing their rings onto each others fingers.

" Le coeur et l'esprit, le corps et âme, nous guident et protègent pour toute l'éternité. Bénissez cet amour et protégez-nous. "

Just as the final words were spoken a white light appeared and engulfed the two. Just as it appeared it disappeared. Everyone was in awe. Then another light this one starting small then growing larger off in the distance. It floated over the lake. The closer it came the more clearly they could see. It looked to be an angel of some sort. She was beautiful. Long blonde hair flowed in the wind. Her wings spread out behind her. Delicate , white soft feather like, white robes lined in gold. She smiled upon them. Never saying a word. Their bond was being blessed. She gently took both of them by the back of their heads and moved them so that their foreheads were touching. The glow around them began again and she gently placed a soft kiss upon both and then in the center where their heads touched. She spoke quietly to both of them. No one else could hear what was being said. She slowly began to float high above them before she floated off once again. Carried by the wind just as she had been carried to them.

Everyone gasped at what they had just witnessed. No one had ever seen something of this nature before. It was truely a unique and special bonding for 2 very unique and special people. Leona gently spoke to them once again and turned them to face their family and friends.

" I'm honored to have been apart of this special bonding today, to witness these two join in life and for eternity. I now present to you Mr. Draco & Harry Potter-Malfoy. "

Everyone smiled at the loving couple. The Weasley twins let out cat calls that earned them a slap on the arm by their wives. The two made their way back up the isle smiling at their family and friends. They were heading up to their rooms to change into more comfortable clothes for the reception that would be beginning in the ball room.

Draco embraced Harry in his arms basking in the new feelings that were washing over them. They didn't feel overwhelmed any longer, they didn't feel the humming of thier magic coursing through their bodies. They now felt at peace, at home, peacefulness washed over them as Harry snuggled his head in the crook of Draco's neck. Feeling the warmpth of his body, the scent that lingered on his skin and closed his eyes with a simple happy sigh. It felt good to be in his arms, at home, bonded for all of eternity at last their souls could rest with one another together as one. No words needed to be said. Each knowing just how the other felt and just how content they were with their life. They headed downstairs to join the others. Soon they would be leaving for their honeymoon.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

They landed softly in Andros Town , also known as Chora. The capital of the island. Andros Town, Greece where they had decided to spend their time away for the first time married. They headed off to their hotel to settle in before setting off to visit many of the museums that were there.

First they visited the Maritime Museum. It held a wide array of nautical objects, diaries, models, and lithographs. They spent about an hour there before heading to the Museum of Modern Art. Here they would be able to see the works of various artists from Greece and abroad. There were paintings from such artists as Picasso,Matisse , Kandinsky, and Chagall among many others. They were amazed looking at the art from some of the finest artists and sculptors from Greece. It also brought things to their minds when doing their own art work. It was an inspiration to them.

" How about we grab some lunch? Are you hungry love? Then we can head on over to see the Ancient city of Andros.

" I'm starved. " They proceeded to sample some of the islands local cuisine.

Arriving they were amazed. They spent the next 5 hours looking around. They headed to see The Tower of Agios Petros in Gavrio, the best preserved tower in ancient Greece to be exact. Indoors it contains a spiral staircase that connects the five levels. The staircases from Hogwarts came to mind for the two. They decided to head back to the hotel and rest for the remainder of the night.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

It was now August 15th and they were going to celebrate by attending the festival. There would be another one on the 27th of August. The food was delicious. Their sweets were different from what they were use to but Harry loved Almonds and enjoyed every bite as Draco did with the walnuts. By the end of the night both were drunk to say the least to much Riki. They couldn't handle the moonshine and passed out arguing through fits of giggles that neither of them were sloshed.

The month had flown by for both of them. They had spent the remainder of the month sight seeing and lounging on the many different beaches. Some days they spent on the busier ones and others they relaxed and took in the sun on the quieter beaches both sporting well toned, tanned muscles. Their last night there they took the boat out and spent one last peaceful night together. Basking in the glow of the moon.They would be leaving for home the next morning to start their new life together as one.

" It's so beautiful here Dray. "

" Yeah , it is. I almost don't want to return. " He smiled down at Harry, who was laying his head in his lap.

" I know how you feel. A month here and the only other time I have ever felt this comfortable and at peace was the night we were bonded and alone together even though..." He trailed off. Blush creeping into his cheeks remembering their last night together before heading to Greece. It was one for the record books.

Draco laughed. " Why the blush , love? "

" No reason. "

" Yeah, and you expect me to believe that? " He playfully slapped Draco. Got up and took them back to the beach. Where it struck him.

Harry dragged Draco back to the hotel room and gathered all of their things. Draco couldn't figure out what he was on about. He watched Harry with a flicker of something in his eyes. Something was dancing around in Harry's head he just couldn't put his finger on it. He reached into one of his bags and brought out a portkey, snatched Draco by the hand and silently activated it right after he had banished all of their stuff back to their home.

They landed on the soft sandy beach. It was beautiful, the moon was glistening over the ripples and the waves. Draco looked around trying to figure out where they were and it struck him.

" Harry? " He questioned.

" It's where it all began. This is where it all began. Savanah. " He smiled and placed loving arms around Draco gently kissing his lips. "And this is where I wanted to end our last night together." He caressed Draco's cheek lovingly before dropping to the sand and showing Draco just what had made him blush that way earlier.

Savanah , Georgia the begining and certainly not the end of what was to come in both of their lives.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO
