Chapter Seven: It Feels Right

The harp strummed lightly in the background making the transformed yard seem more like a fairytale than the décor alone. With large towers of pink roses holding up the white silk tent, each guest got their own enchanted rose that would be forever in bloom. As expected, everyone from the ball had arrived with many more guests as well. Grace's mother spent her time mingling with the various peoples and getting her foot into their business while her daughter prepared for her big day with the help of Narcissa.

"Would you like me to go get your mother?" She asked Grace once.

"No. This is just a business transaction to her. I don't want her to ruin anything." Grace ran her hands over her dress for the hundredth time and smiled. Narcissa held her at arm's length then wrapped her in a tight hug.

"I'm so glad you are happy! That Draco is happy! It just makes me happy!" They laughed together and finished putting the last few pins in her hair then declared her ready to walk down the aisle.

Standing at the doorway to the yard Grace took a few deep breaths to calm her nerves. When the doors opened she looked from the flowers in her hand and caught Draco's gaze. What nerves she had disappeared and she knew that this was the right thing; this is where her heart belonged and that everything would be okay from now on.
