"If you didn't want to marry me you could have just said so, you didn't need to humi—"

Draco interrupted her by kissing her, he pulled back and connected their foreheads

"I love you, I want to marry you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you" Draco told her, cupping her cheek as she started to cry

"But you can't...you're marrying Astoria..." she cried and tired to pull away from him, he kissed her again and shook his head

"I'm marrying you, I swear I'll marry you" he promised her

"Draco..." Hermione cried

"Marry me..." he whispered

"I can't, your mother won't allow you to marry me"

"Actually...he can"

Draco and Hermione looked up and saw Harry walking in with a wedding official

"Doing my research and I found out that since Draco proposed to you first and you accepted, the second proposal is still annulled, you can choose to marry Draco right now if you wish, the bond will go through" Harry explained

"But my mother—" Draco began

"Is at St. Mungo's, Hannah and Luna are still stalling her but it be for long" Harry said

Draco looked at Hermione and waited for her answer

"But..." she said

"Hermione...I understand that this isn't how you wanted to get married, but I guarantee you that if you don't do this, you will regret it, no one will ever make you as happy as Draco does" Harry said and walked up to her "I know you need to do your research, which is why I did it, I know everything you will need to know, Hermione...you deserve happiness and Malfoy is it for you...you deserve happiness Hermione..."

Draco watched the turmoil in her eyes, she looked at Harry then at the officiant and then to Draco, she took his hand and pulled him close

"Marry me" she whispered

Draco exhaled and nodded, she turned to the officiant and nodded, the officiant began and Draco looked at Hermione, this wasn't ideal, he never imagined marrying Hermione while she was in a hospital bed and was wearing a hospital gown, Draco wasn't better off, he was wearing a pair of jeans and sweater that he stole from Blaise

"Draco Malfoy do you take Hermione Granger as your lawfully wedded wife, to care and love her through thickness and health till death do you part?"

"I do" Draco answered without hesitation

"Hermione Granger do you take Draco Malfoy as your lawfully wedded husband to care and love through thickness and health till death do you part?"

"I do" Hermione answered

"Please crossed your wands" the officiant said, Hermione turned to Harry and he handed her his wand, Draco pulled out his and they crossed their wands, the officiant tapped their wands three times and a golden string wrapped itself around and burned itself onto the wands

"By the power vested in me I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride"

Draco kissed her and felt his magic connect with hers

There was a loud noise outside the room, they pulled away and Draco saw his mother storming towards the room

"Draco Malfoy!" She yelled

Hermione gripped Draco's hand and he pulled her in, Harry led the wedding officiant away as the furious witch stormed into the room

"How dare you disobey me!?" She yelled "how dare you taint the lines with a mudblood!?"

"Do not disrespect my wife!" Draco yelled at her

"I will fix this, I will annul this marriage and you will marry Astoria!" She yelled

"No I will not! I will be damned if you tamper with my marriage!"

"Draco..." Hermione whispered

His mother opened her mouth to retort again but Hermione spoke up

"Mrs. Malfoy, your son is a grown man, he chose to marry me...a mother's job is to love their child no matter how much it may hurt, and it may be possible that this is how you protect him but I love Draco, I don't care about his money or anything else, I just love him and I promise to love and protect him, I understand that you will probably never accept me but don't disown your son" she pleaded

Draco saw his mother glare at Hermione

"Miss Granger anyone who says that they don't care about my sons money is lying, now I understand that you have your ow—"

"Draco likes to read" Hermione interrupted

"I beg your pardon?" His mother asked

"Draco likes to read, and he loves to read the same books I do, and he's the only person who can keep a conversation with me, I don't care about his money, he could have been the poorest of the the poor but I would still love him, because he'll never let me get bored" Hermione told his mother "so you can hate me and try to tamper with my marriage but I will never stop loving Draco, he is the better half of me" she said and looked at Draco

Draco looked at her before looking at his mother

"Mother, you can disown me, strip me off my inheritance but I won't let you ruin my marriage"

His mother looked at him and then at Hermione before storming away, Hermione sighed and leaned into her husband

"Well...perfect way to start our married life" Hermione mumbled, Draco chuckled and nodded
