Bonding Time
~
Harry struggled with their secret. With people constantly making wedding suggestions, it was all he could do not to blurt out the big news.
Headmistress McGonagall approved them moving up their ceremony, and as the date approached, Harry got nervous. And, since he couldn’t discuss his worries with any of his friends, he made do.
“I’m so ready to marry him,” Harry whispered into Azizi’s fur while cuddling her by the fire. “It’s just scary. It’s always been my belief I’d never find anyone willing to put up with me.”
Azizi purred reassuringly.
“Thanks, girl.” Harry grinned. “You’re the best.”
~
Severus noted Harry’s preoccupation. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
Harry sighed. “I’m concentrating on not tipping anyone off about the new ceremony date, and it’s more difficult than I thought.”
“Oh?”
“I feel like if I relax too much it’ll slip out.” Harry chuckled. “Sometimes I believe Ginny’s just waiting for me to slip up and reveal something, you know?” He shook his head. “Maybe I’m paranoid.”
“Perhaps not. Given who her mother is, your belief may be well founded.” Severus smirked, pulling him close. “Perhaps I just need to keep you distracted thinking about…other things.”
Harry laughed. “Couldn’t hurt.”
~
Ostensibly, Severus and Harry were visiting England so Harry could meet the Princes. That they were also getting married and slipping back to America with no one the wiser was an added benefit.
When Severus led him to dilapidated estate house, however, Harry said, “Wait, I’m actually meeting your family?”
“I find it best to lie as infrequently as possible.” Harry must have looked nervous, because Severus then smiled, saying, “I believe they’ll love you.”
Harry snorted. “We’ll see.”
The Princes adored Harry, and after receiving everyone’s blessing, Harry relaxed.
“Ready to do this?” asked Severus later.
Harry grinned. “Definitely.”
~
Their wedding day dawned bright and clear. Harry expected disaster, but nothing went wrong.
Wearing matching robes, they gathered Azizi, picked up the chintz plate Portkey McGonagall sent, and within moments were standing in Hogwarts’ private Headmistress’ garden.
McGonagall was waiting. “Welcome,” she said. “Right on time.” She eyed Azizi. “And I believe I need an introduction.”
Introductions made - Azizi adored McGonagall, naturally - they stepped into place, with McGonagall performing the simple Bonding ceremony, Azizi draped around her neck.
Afterwards, hands clasped, Harry and Severus gazed at the Great Lake.
“Perfect day,” said Severus.
Smiling, Harry leaned against him. “Perfect.”
~
“Presumably, you’re staying the night?” said McGonagall after a simple, delicious meal.
“We shouldn’t inconvenience—”
“Oh Severus.” McGonagall’s expression was warm as she regarded him and Harry. “You can’t believe I’d throw you out on your Bonding night? I’ve had the Headmistress’ cottage prepared for you.”
“That’s kind of you, Minerva, but we also have Azizi—”
“Who I’m happy to entertain.” McGonagall chuckled. “Something tells me we’ll get along famously.”
Which was how Severus and Harry found themselves lounging in a bed under an open air canopy.
“We’re married,” whispered Harry. “Can you believe it?”
Severus hummed. “I’m getting there.”
~
“We should have sex now.”
Severus, sipping wine, choked. Once recovered, he said, “It’s our wedding night. Sex is assuredly part of the evening’s plan.”
“I figured,” laughed Harry. “But we’re so relaxed, I didn’t want us to…forget.”
“Forget?” Severus raised an eyebrow. “Believe me when I say, I’ve never forgotten to have sex with you, Harry. And the day I do, you should check for hexes or Polyjuice.”
Winding his arms around Severus’ neck, Harry smiled. “You know, there’s an old saying, something about starting as you mean to go.”
“Oh,” murmured Severus, dousing the lights. “We shall.”
