Angel Island
same day as previously,early afternoon
Draco and Hermione lay together both just holding eachother. Draco felt his heart finally stop racing as the act of just holding his love relaxed him and calmed him. He just needed this and relaxed further. Hermione was content just to lay there in his arms and let him hold her. They both had a bit of a trying and scary day afterall.
"I don't want to leave the island Hermione."
Draco said this quietly as he had thoguht long and hard about it. He knew that there were many dangers in leaving almost as many as staying. He for a moment just continued to hold her as he made this decleration then he sat up and looked at her. Hermione was quiet as she wanted to ask him why but as she heard the tone of his voice she knew that he sounded scared.
"Draco.. Draco I don't know what to say to that.I mean you want us to live here forever or atleast until we die?"
As she asked this she slowly sat up and laid her forehead on his shirtless back a moment and tried to phantom why he didn't want to leave this place. True she realized and knew it was beautiful here and quiet and they had eachother and they weren't off half bad but still England was home wasn't it?
"I love you and I don't want him to hurt you or kill you. I'm scared because my Father.. He'd never approve of our love. He'd never accept this. As it is other than the fact we can't have children I think this is where we belong."
As Draco said this Hermione gasped and he turned to see she was softly crying and he just wrapped his arms around her in an attempt to try and comfort her as he thought she was upset that he wanted to stay there.
"You want to have children with me Draco?"
Was all she asked as she smiled and kissed him lovingly after a moment. Her cheeks were slightly still wet clinging on them tears but they were happy tears. Draco pulled back slowly to wipe the tears off her cheeks and kissed her forehead tenderly.
"Well I figure since I can't.. atleast not right now.. If we never leave.. Yes I want you to be my children's mother!"
As he said this he realized she was smiling and not sad but this preplexed him also. But he felt he needed to clarify also so she would understand fully his intentions.
"I want you to be my wife. "
He told her honestly as he relaxed and sighed happily a moment. Hermione just lay her head on his chest and closed her eyes a moment and nodded. As she did she replied .
"Yes, yes Draco I want that too.I mean you as my husband and I love you and even if we never leave and have children,your enough for me Draco. Though I can imagine it.."
As she said this she smiled to herself a moment and he caught her expression and chuckled. Despite it all he felt more home than anywhere else and he relaxed in her arms and kissed the back of her neck. He felt calmer somewhat and knew it was her presence that did this for him.
"As long as I have the charm.. I can't give us children Hermione. But I've dreampth of them.Of our kids and you large and big and fully of my baby and us being a family. I've wanted it so long now.I never though in my dreams imagined we'd be on a tropical island somewhere warm and alone but atleast we're together now. Your much better than my dreams and my hopes and wishes. Being with you is like christmas and all my birthdays all rolled together and I love you my Angel so much it's a bit frightening sometimes.
Today all I could think about was that I'd never see you again,it was as if there was a hole in my chest and I felt pain as I never told you how I feel. I know your a strong woman and would have eventualy gotten off this Island and lived to be an old woman. I have no doubts about that as your more able to survive than I could alone. I need you. I just don't want you I need you everyday to live, to breathe to make me happy and to make me whole."
As he confessed this he felt as if the hole he felt earlier was closing and the weight was off his chest. He for a moment took a breath as he had said all of this without taking a breath in between and relaxed as he looked at her. Gone was all the shell of his defenses and here he lay bare his emotions for her and only for her. The frankness and honesty was not missed on Hermione as she just caressed his face with her fingertips and then nodded.
"I could survive yes, but I wouldn't be living.Living is waking up everyday in your arms.Living is loving you and even when we fight it's knowing your here with me. i need you as much as you need me and I want you and only you for the rest of my life Draco."
She understood him and went to kiss him when he stopped her and stood up and held out his hand to her. She wordlessly took it without question and he went to her trunk and for a moment started to rummage in it. Hermione wondered what he was looking for when she saw he pulled out a dress that was off white and he handed it to her.
"Put this on and come stand with me by the water sweetheart. I know we don't have a priest but I want to be your husband and make you my wife. May Merlin be our witness and bless us."
As he said this he saw Hermione smile and she kissed him quickly and went to changing into the dress. Draco gave her privacy as he knew that brides carried flowers and was on his way out the door when he stopped and looked at the parchment and for a moment it caught his eye and he decided to burn it. However as he lifted it up in his hand it began to unravel and he dropped it as if it burnt him as a bit of what could only be described as static shock hit his fingers at that very moment.
He was careful to lift it and put it on the table again and was about to go and find some flowers when he saw words,words that he could read now across the top of the parchment.
Draco looked at the scroll in disbelief and he went to tell Hermione or ask her if she had translated part of the parchment when he saw her walk into the room. all else but the woman in front of him was now forgotten as he took her hands in his and they walked together to the edge of the beach where the tide was rolling in and over their bare feet.
They stood and looked into eachother's eyes and pledged their lives to eachother as the sun set in the background and all around them. As they gave eachother their first marital kiss,both for a moment glowed a golden color and it faded before either noticed. Both were so happy and blissful in that moment.
"Your breathtakingly beautiful Mrs Malfoy."
He told her as he took her hand and lifted it to his lips and gave her knuckles a gentle kiss. As he did this she grinned and smiled and for a moment bit the bottom of her lips and looked at him with all her love for him shining in her eyes.
"And you Mr Malfoy are very handsome. I love you Draco."
"I love you too Hermione"
They walked or well she began to walk with him back to the house when suddenly she was lifted and she looked at Draco in surprise. He just smiled and carried her into the hut and kissed her as they went to the bedroom.
"Make love to me "
"Always you and only you my love."
Hermione begged as Draco broke the kiss and she went to unbuttoning the shirt he was wearing.The jacket was discarded and soon everything else and they stood there completely starkers and began to kiss. Draco lay with her and gently they consumated their wedding vows.
