Scorpius Pov

'I don't know if I can do this' Scorpius ran his hand down his face, sweating..

'Course you can do this.' Jeremy cheered.
'Did I choose the right one? Is this the one?'

'Yeah, she is. I know she's the one for you.'
With trembling hands Scorpius rolled his hands into fists.

'Yeah.. I think you are right. This is the one. This is the belt meant for me.'

'The best man doing his job here.'

'Damn it, I am freaking out again. I don't know if I can marry potter.'

'Why do you insist on using last names?'
'Lily finds it more sexier. I dunno.'

'Well.. guess what don't freak out. Being single's great. The one night stands are great. Everything is great but.. hey, you are right, being single's great.'

'You are supposed to be my best man' Scorpius groaned.

'Reconsider this. I can be your best man.' Derek said coming in.

'Hell no, nott. Hell no.' Jeremy screamed at him.
'Dude, you have some... Issues.'

'Guys it's my wedding day. I am allowed to panic. Not you guys. Take me through the end of this.. I mean, first a father. Now marriage..' he said crumbling down. 'Its just all so fast.'

'Dude you proposed three years ago. It's not fast. It's damn slow.' Nott yelled.

'Guys, chill.' Jeremy said. 'Derek, see that he doesn't suicide. Let me check on the bride.'

Jeremy POV
He ran down the stairs and opened the rightmost door.

'Jeremy.' She nodded.

'Wow, gorgeous.'
'Thanks. How's the groom doing? I am freaking out.'

'He's doing great.' he lied. 'Where's Remus?'

'I told Angela to take care of him.'

'Oh, cool. So.. big day, huh potter? A Potter marrying a Malfoy. Huh.. Decided on who's surname you are gonna take?'

'Potter-Malfoy' lily said.
'That's a first.'

'Huh.'
'Well I don't want to say much as I have been saving all of it for my toast.'

'Uh huh. Is this enough makeup? Or should I dab a little more?'

'Not my place to say.' He raised his hands in mock surrender.
***
'Wow.. and to think I am their best man.' Jeremy sighed to a girl he faintly recognized. 'Anyways.. what's your name?'

'Rose Weasley. Don't tell me you forgot me so soon.'

'Rose. Oh. Of course.. not. I remember.'

'You are a self absorbed man-whore, Zabini.'
'I cannot be more complimented.'

'Ever thought of marriage?'
'Yeah, right. Why would I need to marry? My life is set already. I am a damn millionaire.'

'Is that how you get girls to sleep with you? Pay them?'

'Hell no. I use my grace and charm—'
'You got uglier.'
'Here. Have a drink.'
'You still are ugly.' she said chugging down a drink.

'Another.'
'I am not doing shots.' but anyways she chugged another.
***
'After the fifth shot we ended up kissing. Then I banged her.' Jeremy said to Derek who hi-fived him.

'Then I told her "that's how I get girls to sleep with me" - Alcohol cause no sane girl would sleep with me.'

'And then?'
'End of story. Will probably forget her.'

But there was something about her which stuck to his mind.

Scorpius Pov
He kissed her forehead and carefully laid her next to her brother.

He was alone with his two children.
'You won't remember this. But you two are my life. And I don't know if I will love anybody more..' He kissed their foreheads and tucked them in.

'I swear to god, that I have never loved anyone more. I love you both as much as the ones you are named after.. Remus. Charlotte.'

'Never loved anyone more?' his wife entered. 'Forgetting someone?'

'I could never.' he greeted her with a kiss and helped her with the bags.

'You are certainly sure about all of this. Answer me honestly, if given chance would you stop yourself from time-travelling.'

'I couldn't. It was .. meant to be.'

'Hey idiot romantic.' Jeremy burst tonight.
'You can't bail on me. Tonight's my bachelor party.'

'I am not bailing on you.' Scorpius chuckled.

'Goodbye, sweetheart.'
'Goodbye, love.'

After leaving the house, Zabini groaned.
'Good god.. is this marriage?'

Scorpius laughed. His laughter ringed through the air pleasantly.
Ripples of laughter echoed through the silent and soothing night air.

Everything was perfect. Nothing to worry about .. for the first time in many years..

All was well.
