Yule wedding
If he was honest, he had never been so stressed. Even facing Voldemort seemed way easier right now. Not that he would prefer it, of course not, but the stress he was under was something he had never experienced before. Harry was pacing back and forth, trying to breathe.
He couldn’t say why he was so nervous, because he knew that it was what he wanted. Deep down inside, he knew this was the right thing. It was the right thing to do because he had never felt better than with him by his side. He had never felt so loved and more important, he had never loved someone that much.
“Mate, stop walking, it’s going to be fine, you-“, Ron said, trying to comfort him.
“I need to leave this room” Harry replied, and without an hesitation, without worrying about his best friend, he walked out of the cosy office where he had been getting ready all afternoon.
He heard Ron yelling his name, but the latter didn’t try to catch him up, and for a minute Harry felt relieved and was grateful for his friend to leave him alone. After walking for a few minutes, he entered a narrow corridor and saw a pretty little door facing him. He had to admit that even if he didn’t want to rent a castle at first, Draco was right to insist because this place had a lot of charm. Harry opened the door and breathed a sigh of relief, finally happy to be alone. He was about to close the door when he heard a very familiar voice.
“Harry, what- No don’t look back you can’t see me, don’t-“
But it was too late. Draco was in front of him, still buttoning his shirt, and Harry suddenly forgot all his fears to focus on his future husband. He was so dazzled by the beauty of the man he loves, in that costume he could have recognized from a thousand miles away, that he hadn’t noticed that Draco was still talking.
“You’re kidding me, we rent a fucking castle, we’re in opposite rooms from each other but you’re here. I mean, I’m glad you’re here and not running away but we’re cursed, this wedding is going to be cursed, it’s the tradition and-“
As Draco spoke, Harry moved slowly towards him. He decided to quickly forget the part about running away and once in front of him, he finally took his hand.
“I don’t care about the traditions. You’re stunning” he said to Draco, who stopped ranting.
“I- you are beautiful too” he finally said to Harry, realizing for the first time since the man came in how handsome he was.
“This is your Yule ball costume”
“It is, I had it custom-made for the occasion because I know how much you love it”
“I love you”
“Harry, are you okay?” Draco asked, worried. Not that Harry loving him was suspicious but he had the feeling something wasn’t right.
“Yes, it’s just… I kind of panicked, Ron wouldn’t stop talking about his wedding with Hermione and then I just realized what we were doing and, don’t forget I love you right, but I felt a bit overwhelmed”
Draco looked Harry in the eyes for a while before hugging him tight.
“Look, I understand it can be stressful. We’ve been planning this since a year now, and it’s finally happening. But this is what we want, and I promise to make you the happiest man on earth for the rest of my life”
“I know, I just needed to see you”
Harry kissed him tenderly and the couple stayed sit in silence next to each other. They didn’t need to say more, everything was fine.
“Let’s get married, I love you” said Harry after a while, standing up.
“Now get out before I have to say all my vows to reassure you, our marriage is already ruined because you saw me before I walked down the aisle”
Harry rolled his eyes but laughed, recognizing the man he had fallen in love with.
“You and I both now that we don’t do traditional, but you still have to be dramatic. I don’t care if I’m cursed if it means that I’m cursed with you”
“And now I’m the dramatic one?”
Harry kissed him quickly before leaving the room. He heard Draco saying a little “I still love you though” and he smiled. Everything was going to be fine.
