A/N: There will be mature content later in the chapter! But here it is, what we've all been waiting for! Enjoy!
The grounds were still looking extraordinarily green for it being the end of September. The Black Lake looked as dark as ever, but it seemed almost highlighted by the dark wood archway covered in black and white flowers that the ministry officiant stood under with Sirius standing slightly to the side with his Godson and Remus beside him. Dora stood on the other side, holding little Teddy's hand. Athena couldn't help but smile as Minerva guided her towards her future family. The crowd was small, mostly only fellow teachers and Order members, many of the them Athena hadn't seen since the Battle of Hogwarts. She smiled at all of them as she passed them until they finally reached Sirius. Minerva gave her one final hug before handing her hands off to her future husband.
"You look absolutely beautiful, love." Athena blushed wildly.
"As do you." The officiant coughed subtly before beginning.
"Welcome all, to this gathering to celebrate the union of one Sirius Orion Black and Athena Corinne Bailey. Now, from what I understand, the couple has provided their own vows. Sirius, if you'd like to begin." Sirius coughed, clearing his throat before he grabbed both of Athena's hands
"Athena, I can't tell you that this is the day I've been waiting for for my entire life. I never imagined, through all of my hardships, that I'd be standing in front of family and friends vowing to be someone's husband for the rest of our lives. But that is exactly what I'm doing. Athena, I may not know how to be the perfect husband, but I will promise to try my hardest. I promise to always be there for you and to support you, to hold you when you cry and make you laugh when you're not quite ready to laugh. I will stand by your side through it all." Athena wiped a solitary tear from her face, and then rejoined their hands.
"Athena, your turn." Dora tapped her on the shoulder and handed her the small piece of paper on which she had written her vows.
"Sirius, this may not have come naturally for us, but being with you feels as natural as it could be. I promise to always stand by your side, to help you hold your head up. I promise that I will always hold your hand when you need it and help take away any pain that you may have. I know that we won't always be perfect, but I also know that we'll always feel right." Sirius smiled, her vows were short and sweet, much like his own, but seemed to display her understanding of him; an understanding that she had gathered in a very short period of time.
"Do we have the rings?" Dora and Harry both passed forward the simple bands that Sirius and Athena had found. "Please place the ring upon your partners finger, as a symbol of your partnership." Athena gave Sirius's hand a soft squeeze as she placed his ring on his left finger. Sirius smiled softly, repeating the gesture as he slipped her ring onto her left hand.
"I now declare you, bonded for life. You may kiss your bride." Scores of silver stars shot out from the officiants wand over the couple as they pulled each other in for a soft and sweet kiss. The crowd clapped politely, almost as if they were all unsure of what reaction to have, this marriage was, after all, not one born from love. Athena felt Sirius grin into the kiss before pulling away. The newlyweds both smiled before heading back down the aisle for a moment of privacy before the small party they had set up.
Sirius pulled her behind a large tree and tucked her into his arms, kissing her hard on the mouth. Athena allowed herself to be sucked in for just a moment before pulling away.
"Hello Mister Black." Sirius grinned and pushed a piece of her hair behind her ear.
"Hello Missus Black. You look absolutely ravishing." She felt as if her entire body blushed.
"And you look incredibly handsome. We should probably get back to our guests, you know. I still haven't met your godson properly."
"You didn't meet him when you were apart of the order?" Athena shook her head 'no.'
"I was always out doing work when he was home for the summer. Just never got around to it officially."
"Well come on then! The two most important people in my life can't have only vague knowledge of each other!" Grabbing her hand, Sirius drug her towards the tables that were set up a short distance away. Their close friends were all enjoying the small party, either eating or dancing to the music playing. Sirius drug her up to Harry Potter and grinned wildly.
"Harry, my boy! Meet Athena!" The tall, lanky young man spun quickly from his conversation with a pretty redhead that Athena knew to be Ginny Weasley. A wide smile slipped onto his face at the sight of his godfather and his bride before opening his arms for a hug from the young woman.
"Athena! It's wonderful to meet you, officially of course." Athena turned and hugged Ginny as well.
"And you as well, Harry! How are you enjoying the party?"
"As much as one can in the current situation. Did Sirius tell you that ours is coming as well?"
"Your wedding? I was hoping you had gotten Ginny! How's this going to work with you being on the Harpies, Gin? We can't have this affecting the season!" Ginny simply shrugged.
"Not like we can much help it. Thank Merlin they've postponed the season." The two women sank into quidditch talk, allowing godfather and godson to speak mostly in private.
"How's your first year as an Auror going, then?"
"Quite well until we hit this little snag. At the end of the month, we'll be given lists of couples that have failed to actually marry. It's absolutely insane." Sirius shook his head in disappointment.
"There's too many other things that they could be having you focus on. Instead it's all focused on this stupid law."
"Is it that stupid though, Padfoot? Seems as if it's worked out quite well for you so far."
"So far." Harry caught his godfather staring at the woman talking animatedly with his own fiancé.
"Apparently her and Ginny get along quite well." Sirius chuckled and elbowed Harry, pointing at the two women with a cheeky smile.
"Oy! Did you two forget about us?" Both women looked up abruptly before Athena waved both boys off, deeming her and Ginny's conversation much more important that her groom.
"Did they get started on quidditch? You'll never get her to stop unfortunately." Dora grinned while handing off a very wiggly Teddy to Sirius. "He kept trying to run off to you the entire ceremony!" Remus approached, hugging both Harry and Sirius tightly. Noticing the newcomers, Athena and Ginny ended their conversation and joined the small group that was forming.
"Sorry about that! We were just going over some interesting ideas for next season," Athena grinned, giving Remus a tight hug and accepting his 'congratulations.' She then joined Sirius in fawning over their mutual godchild.
"I didn't know you liked quidditch," Sirius muttered in her ear.
"Because the season hasn't started yet. I was quidditch captain my last two years of school."
"Merlin's beard, is there anything you can't do woman?" A smirk settled on the pretty woman's face as conversation started up around them.
Hours later, the guests having all left, Sirius and Athena were left completely alone.
"It's odd isn't it? The silence?" Athena gulped quietly from near the window. The nerves were beginning to set in again.
"After all the noise of the day, I'd have to agree." The tension in the room felt like it was slowly rising as Sirius approached where Athena stood, pulling pins from the mass of hair on her head. Once all of her hair was free, she raked her hands through it gently, scratching her scalp.
"Need any help getting out of that dress?" She nodded timidly, turning her back to show the small zipper at the base of her back. Sirius tried to hold in his groan, noticing once again the expansive amount of skin that showed in the exquisite dress. He leaned forward and kissed her neck gently. Athena held herself straight, fighting the urge to relax into his arms, knowing perfectly well that it would make the dress damn near impossible to get off. Sirius reached down and slowly pulled the zipper down, allowing his fingers to drag gently across her lower back. It was Athena's turn to fight back a groan. She wasn't even undressed yet and the man was driving her insane.
Once the dress was unzipped, Sirius helped Athena slip the sleeves off of her arms and then watched as the dress pooled around her bare feet, leaving her only in a simple pair of black lace panties. Smirking, Sirius leaned in once again and kissed her shoulder gently before turning her slowly to face him. Athena felt the flush rise in her cheeks and her new husband eyed her almost nude body hungrily, which caused her to cover her breasts shyly.
"No, no, no. We don't cover up around here, love," Sirius tutted. He stepped forward once again and gripped her chin gently, forcing her lips upwards toward his own. This kiss came with more of a sense of urgency as Sirius pressed his lips harder against her own. Athena's small fingers came up to curl around the top of his shirt, pulling him as close to her as possible while still leaving enough room for her nimble fingers to undo each button on the shirt he was wearing.
"I think you're a little overdressed," She whispered through a small moan as Sirius slipped his shirt off of his shoulders and then ran a hand down her face and neck until he reached her breast, gently tweaking one of her nipples. His hands rested against her hips as they kissed deeply, teeth clashing occasionally with the intensity. Eventually, she reached towards his pants, ready to push the next step. Her hands shakily unbuckled his belt and unbuttoned his pants. In one clean sweep, Athena pulled off both his pants and underwear, leaving her husband standing in front of her completely nude.
Sirius grinned as he saw yet another blush overtook Athena's face upon seeing him fully naked. Chuckling, he covered her entire face in kisses and picked her up, allowing her to wrap her long legs around his waist so that he could carry her comfortably to the bed. He tossed her onto the bed, enjoying the sound of the little giggles coming from her mouth. Starting at her lips, Sirius gently kissed his way down to the apex of her thighs, slipping her underwear off, and lingering for only a moment on various spots that would give her any extra pleasure. Athena couldn't help but moan in anticipation as he kissed her thigh, nipping at the skin there, sending a shockwave through her body. Finally his lips met where she wanted him most, leaving soft kisses that left her moaning with her hands tangled in his shaggy hair. When he hit the right spots, she'd tug gently on the hair wrapped around her hands, causing Sirius to moan and work much harder on the task at hand. Athena felt as if every nerve was alight, electricity shooting through her skin as her orgasm built up.
"Are you going to cum for me sweetheart," Sirius smirked, only pulling his mouth away long enough to speak. With a loud moan, the pressure Athena had been feeling finally exploded, her legs shaking with the initial intensity. He pulled himself up to her mouth to give her one more kiss, Athena ignoring the taste of herself on his tongue. "Are you ready, love?" She grinned and flipped them so that she was straddling his hips.
"I think the question is, are you ready," Athena questioned as she ground her pelvis against him. Sirius groaned at the contact before smirking and placing his arms behind his head, as if he were relaxing.
"Give me a show, beautiful." Placing one hand against his tattooed chest, Athena reached between them and guided him into her with a moan. She sat still for just a moment, allowing the delicious feeling of being stretched to subside before slowly rocking her hips. She moved just slow enough that she knew she was driving Sirius into madness. He bit down on his bottom lip as he reached out to grip her hips, loving the combination of seeing her breasts bounce and feeling her tighten around him. Leaning forward, she captured his lips in a bruising kiss, allowing herself to move just a little bit faster.
"Are you trying to torture me," Sirius groaned. It wasn't much longer before he lost control, flipping her back underneath him. She gasped as her back smacked into the bed once again, Sirius now leaning over her as he thrust into her as hard and fast as he possibly could. She could feel the pressure building rapidly in her lower stomach, her mouth open in an almost permanent 'o' as she gasped and moaned. Sirius smirked as the pretty girl came undone for the second time that evening, and then continued to push on for his own release. He connected their lips once more, pushing his sweaty forehead onto hers before finally cumming hard. Athena closed her eyes for just a second, enjoying the feeling of her husband still lying on top of her, completely spent. She pulled his lips back to hers, smiling softly.
"Was that okay," Sirius questioned as he rolled off of her, standing up only to fall back down when his knees collapsed. A wild giggle flew from her mouth as she watched him try to stand again, only to collapse once more on the bed.
"Well it clearly was for you," She said through laughter.
"Oi! Shove off! I don't see you trying to stand!" Athena giggled and then scooted her small frame to the edge of the bed, not entirely sure if her knees were going to actually help her stand. "Not so sure of yourself now, are you," Sirius teased. She stuck her tongue out and stood, only for her own knees to betray her, causing her to stumble before catching herself.
"Doing better than you are, I'd reckon." She slowly made her way into the restroom to clean up as Sirius finally stood to fetch them both a glass of water. Once done, she flopped into bed before accepting the glass he handed her.
"I'm genuinely curious though, was that okay?" She gave him a hard glare as she sipped her water.
"Merlin's beard! You're looking for an ego stroke aren't you? As if giving me not one, but two orgasms in a night wasn't enough of one?" He smirked, taking another drink of water, before setting his glass down and picking his wand up. With one quick wave, the candles around the room all went out, leaving them only with the soft light of the fire.
"It is now," He mumbled, very clearly proud of himself as he got comfortable. She set down her glass of water on the bedside table and curled into his side, laying her head on his chest.
"Hey Sirius, can I tell you something?"
"You can tell me anything you'd like, Missus Black," He practically purred in her ear. She smiled softly before whispering something that made his heart almost stop with happiness.
"I think I'm falling in love with you."
