Unforeseen Circumstances

Chapter 16

The days counting down to Severus and Draco’s wedding passed by quickly. The big day had finally arrived. In retaliation for being separated the night before their own wedding, Harry spent the night in Sev’s quarters, making Draco spend the night with Lucius.

“You’re just being petty, Harry,” pouted Severus, eyeing the door to see if he could escape unnoticed. “You’re just getting revenge because you had to spend the night away from Lucius before your wedding.”

“Well, of course, dear. That did play a large part in the plans, but there were other reasons as well. You have to admit that you enjoyed our separation far too much, and it serves you right to feel the pain now,” said Harry cheekily. “Besides, it’s tradition, and it won’t kill you to follow tradition this one time.”

“I still don’t have to like it,” whined Severus, flopping down on the bed. “If I can’t sleep tonight, it’ll be all your fault.”

“I guess you’ll just have to sleep with me then. It’s not like I’m used to sleeping alone anymore either,” Harry pointed our.

“It’s not the same,” said Severus.

“Sev, you are an adult. Please act like it,” sighed Harry, running his hands through his messy hair. “How about you take a Dreamless Sleep potion? That way, you’ll actually sleep tonight and be well rested for your wedding ceremony tomorrow.”

“I don’t wanna,” said Severus irritably.

“If you keep whining like that, I’ll get the potion and force it down your throat. In case you have forgotten, I am two months pregnant. That means my hormones are running wild and I’m exhausted all the time. If I have to listen to you sulk anymore, you won’t have to worry about getting married tomorrow,” said Harry threateningly. “Is that understood?”

“Yes, sir!” barked Severus smartly, saluting the irate brunette. At Harry’s fierce glare, Severus crawled meekly under the covers and tried to go to sleep.

As Severus finally took his ‘advice,’ Harry breathed a sigh of relief and climbed in the bed with him. “Good night, dad.”

“Good night, Harry,” said Severus quietly, shutting his eyes and falling quickly asleep. All that pouting and sulking had worn him out.

“Why am I having to spend the night with again?” asked Draco irritably.

“It’s tradition, Draco. In case you’ve already forgotten, you and Sev did the same thing to me before my and Harry’s wedding,” said Lucius tiredly.

“I don’t like it. I think it’s time for someone to break this stupid tradition,” growled Draco.

“Draco, if you don’t get in that bed right now,” said Lucius, “I am going to strangle you. I am tired, and we have to get up early tomorrow for ‘your’ wedding.”

“I’m not sleepy,” said Draco impatiently. “Besides, I can’t sleep without Sev. I’ve gotten to accustomed to him being in the bed with me each night.”

“There are potions that remedy sleeplessness, you know,” said Lucius wearily. “I can always get you one.”

“I don’t like taking sleeping aides. They make me too groggy the following morning,” said Draco petulantly. Draco suddenly veered towards the door. “I can’t stand it anymore. I’m just going to go down to the dungeons. Tradition be damned.”

“I didn’t want to have to do it this way, but oh well,” said Lucius, pulling his wand. Draco turned towards his father at that comment just in time to get hit by a sleep spell. Draco collapsed limply to the floor, and Lucius levitated him to the bed. “You should have just gone to bed in the first place, Draco. You really should learn to listen to good advice- and threats.”

Lucius walked back into the living room and transfigured the couch into a suitable bed. He climbed into the bed wearily and tried to go to sleep. He just couldn’t get comfortable without Harry beside him.

“I really can’t blame the brat for whining like he did. I don’t sleep well without Harry, either,” muttered Lucius quietly, rolling over once again. His exhaustion finally overwhelmed him and he fell asleep.

“Come on, Sev. Wake up,” said Harry, bouncing on the bed. “You’re getting married today.”

“It’s too early to get up, Harry,” mumbled Severus. He lifted his head from the pillow and blinked blearily at the hyper brunette. “What time is it?”

“It’s 9:00 already. You still have to eat breakfast, take a bath, and get dressed. The wedding starts at noon and that’s only three hours away,” said Harry quickly, hopping off the bed and heading towards Severus’ wardrobe. “Where are your wedding robes?”

“I hid them,” said Severus, sitting up on the side of the bed.

“Why?” asked Harry curiously.

“So Draco couldn’t find them, of course,” said Severus reasonably, standing slowly and heading towards the shower.

“If you hid them from Draco, how is he going to dress for the wedding?” asked Harry.

“I figured you and Lucius would retaliate for making you spend the night before your wedding apart, so I gave Draco’s robes to Dobby and asked him to make sure Draco got them in time to get ready for the ceremony,” said Severus.

“What colour ribbons are you going to use?” asked Harry, pulling clothes from the wardrobe in search of Sev’s wedding robes.

“Light blue, green, yellow, and white,” said Severus. “May I get in the shower now, or do you want to ask more questions?”

“I want to ask more questions,” said Harry, smirking when Severus’ shoulders slumped, “but they can wait until you’ve bathed.”

Severus glared at Harry, causing the pregnant brunette to laugh at his disgruntled expression, and slammed the bathroom door shut.

“Well I know what the most important aspect of Sev’s wedding is,” said Harry thoughtfully to himself. “It is just too funny that he chose ribbons signifying patience, peace, and harmony. Oh, and let’s not forget the health and fertility ribbon. I think he’s trying to tell me to expect a younger sibling sometime soon.”

Harry snickered at his wayward thoughts and continued rummaging through Sev’s wardrobe. Finally reaching the back, he yelled out an “Aha” when he found a set of beautifully sewn green, silver, and black dress robes. He pulled out the robes and laid them across the bed for Severus to don when he was done in the shower.

*****

“Draco, get up,” said Lucius, shaking Draco’s shoulder for the fifth time this morning. “If you don’t get up now, you’ll miss your wedding to Severus.”

“What?” mumbled Draco, hugging his pillow closer.

“Draco!” yelled Lucius, hoping the noise, at least, would rouse the brat. “Dobby brought your wedding robes, but I guess I can send them back to Severus with a note telling him that you’ve changed your mind and don’t want to marry him today.”

“What?!” yelled Draco, bolting upright in the bed. “Don’t you dare do that, father.”

“Then get up. I’ve only been trying to wake you for the last hour and now it’s 10:00. Your wedding starts at noon, leaving you only two hours to prepare.”

“What?!” screeched Draco, jumping from the bed and running towards the bathroom. “That’s not enough time.” With that, he slammed the door and climbed in the shower.

Lucius just rolled his eyes and laid the robes across the bed. “This is going to be a long day,” he muttered aloud.

*****

“Dad, you look fine,” said Harry for the tenth time, rolling his eyes in exasperation.

“Do I have everything?” asked Severus frantically.

“Yes, dad. I have the rings and ribbons right here. Don’t worry so much,” said Harry soothingly.

“I can’t help it, Harry. I just want everything to be perfect for him,” muttered Severus.

“I knew there was a reason I loved Lucius so much,” said Harry brightly. Severus cocked an eyebrow in a sign for Harry to elaborate. “You two are just alike. I bet Lucius said some of the exact same things before our wedding, didn’t he?”

“Yes, he did. Of course, he nearly drove me batty with all his whining,” said Severus ruefully.

“Yeah, I know how that feels,” said Harry wryly, mock glaring at Severus. “It’s 11:30. Are you ready to go?”

“Yes,” said Severus slowly, taking a deep breath to calm his nerves. “Let’s go.”

*****

“Come on, Draco,” said Lucius. “It’s 11:30. It’s time to go.”

When he still didn’t receive a response, Lucius stormed to the bathroom door, pulled out his wand, and unlocked the door magically. He stopped in the doorway when he saw Draco leaning over the toilet, face flushed and looking miserable.

“What’s wrong?” asked Lucius worriedly.

“I made myself sick worrying so much about everything,” said Draco, finally feeling his stomach settle. He moved to the sink and brushed his teeth again to rid his mouth of that awful aftertaste.

“Are you sure that’s all it is?” asked Lucius anxiously.

“Pretty positive. I haven’t been sick before today, and you know how I get,” said Draco sensibly.

“You’re not pregnant, are you?” asked Lucius nervously. “Please say you’re not. I’m not ready to be a grandfather yet.”

“I’m not pregnant. Unlike my illustrious father and his husband, Sev and I know perfectly well how to cast contraceptive charms. Besides, when Harry found he was pregnant, I had Madame Pomfrey check to make sure I wasn’t,” said Draco smugly, smirking at the blush creeping up on Lucius’ cheeks.

“Well how was I supposed to know that Harry wouldn’t need a potion to get pregnant? You heard him: natural male pregnancies are extremely rare,” said Lucius indignantly.

“Yes, they are. But look who you’re spouse is. You, of all people, should know that the impossible is possible where Harry is concerned,” said Draco pointedly. “Now, let’s get this party started.”

*****

“We are gathered here today to witness the union of Severus Sebastian Snape to Draco Adamus Malfoy. This will be the second union this year where the participants have elected to bond using a mind, heart, and soul bond. Before we go any further, are there any here who wish to oppose this union?” asked Dumbledore. Seeing no opposition, Dumbledore continued. “You have chosen to use rings?”

Harry stepped forward and placed the rings in Dumbledore’s hand. Dumbledore gave Severus one of the rings and cleared his throat. “Severus, place the ring on Draco’s left hand and say your vows.”

Severus pushed the ring onto Draco’s left ring finger. “Draco, I have always loved you. You have been a constant presence in my life since the day you were born. I have to admit that I was hesitant to change the dynamics of our relationship from godfather to lover, but I am thankful that you had no such reservations and persisted in your pursuit of happiness with me. I love you more each day, Draco.”

Dumbledore turned to Draco and handed him the other ring. “Draco, place the ring on Severus’ left hand and say your vows.”

Draco pushed the ring onto Severus’ left ring finger. “Sev, I also have always loved you. You have showed your love for me in a million different ways. I’m just a persistent brat who refused to forego a future with someone I loved just because of minor obstacles: age and former relations being the main ones. I truly believe that we can overcome any obstacle set in our path as long as we are together. I love you so much and that will never change.”

“Now repeat after to me, mind to mind, heart to heart, and soul to soul. Together for eternity,” said Dumbledore. Once the Severus and Draco had complied, Dumbledore turned to Harry. “Now the binding ribbons.”

Harry stepped forward and handed the four ribbons to Dumbledore. Dumbledore entwined the ribbons around Draco and Severus’ clasped hands. “Severus and Draco have chosen four ribbons to signify the elements they wish to enhance in their marriage. The light blue ribbon signifies understanding and patience. The green ribbon signifies health and fertility. The yellow ribbon signifies wisdom and harmony. And the white ribbon signifies peace and devotion.”

Dumbledore repeated the binding words and the ribbons merged with the rings, forming a light, colourful pattern within the metal. “The bond was successful. Congratulations.”

Severus and Draco smiled softly at each other and leaned forward for a gentle kiss. They broke apart at the loud cheers coming from the guests and turned to face everyone. Severus was immediately ambushed by an exuberant Harry and pulled into a tight hug.

“I’m so happy for, dad,” he whispered, hugging Severus a little tighter. “Just don’t forget me now that you’re married.”

“There is no way I could ever forget you, Harry. You’re my son and you’re carrying my granddaughter. Any time you need me, just come find me,” said Severus, kissing Harry on the forehead and giving him one more hug.

Harry finally let go of Severus and pounced on Draco. “You be good to my dad, Draco,” said Harry, hugging Draco just as tightly as he’d hugged Severus.

“I will, Harry, but you need to loosen the grip because you are squashing me and Keely,” said Draco, trying to loosen Harry’s arms.

At the reminder of his daughter, Harry loosened his arms fractionally but not entirely. “Just remember to make time for your little brother.”

“Oh please. You know good and well that you are welcome any time you need us,” said Draco, rolling his eyes. “Neither Sev nor I could turn you away. As you’ve already mentioned, you have us thoroughly wrapped around your little finger.”

“Good to know,” said Harry, smiling brightly. “Congratulations on obtaining your happiness. I’m glad Sev found someone truly worthy of him. I’m also glad that we managed to put our sordid past behind us to form the relationships we have.”

“Yeah, that was the best decision of my life,” said Draco, smiling softly. He looked over Harry’s shoulder and saw Lucius trying not to glare at him. “I think you need to go soothe my father because he’s trying his hardest not glare at me. It’s not working too well, though.”

Harry smiled impishly and pressed a gentle kiss on Draco’s lips. “Love you, Dray. I’ll see you later.”

Ignoring Lucius’ glare, Harry walked up to his irate husband and pulled him down into a deep kiss. When the kiss ended, they were both panting and wishing they were in their bedroom. “I love you, Lucius.”

“I love you too, Harry. I don’t love seeing you kiss Draco, though,” said Lucius, scowling down at Harry.

“My brother just got married. I had to give him a congratulation kiss, didn’t I?” asked Harry innocently.

“You did it on purpose because Draco told you I was glaring,” muttered Lucius.

“Well, that too,” said Harry smugly.

“Come on, imp. We can finish our celebrations in a more private setting,” said Lucius, giving Harry a smouldering look.

*****

“I missed you last night,” said Harry, spreading kisses on Lucius’ face.

“I missed you too,” said Lucius, pulling Harry’s clothes off frantically. Once Harry was nude, Lucius picked him up and placed him on the bed. “We’re not doing this again. I couldn’t sleep last night because you weren’t here.”

“I slept in the bed with Sev because neither one of us could sleep,” said Harry sheepishly, grinning slightly at Lucius’ growl that accompanied that statement.

Lucius quickly stripped off his own clothes and pounced on his husband. He immediately muttered a lubrication spell and prepared Harry’s tight entrance. A moment later, Lucius had three fingers buried in his husband’s opening, thrusting and stretching the tight channel.

“Fuck, Luc,” panted Harry, arching into those devilish fingers. “Fuck me now. I need you too badly to wait.”

Lucius pulled his fingers free and immediately positioned his cock at the slick hole. Burying his shaft deep with one thrust, Lucius moaned at the delicious tightness gripping his cock. He didn’t bother to start of slow and build up speed. He just proceeded to thrust quickly and forcefully, making sure to hit Harry’s prostate with every thrust, and fisted his husband’s cock in time to his thrusts.

Harry screamed and moaned, arching into every thrust Lucius made into his body. He clutched at Lucius’ back and wrapped his legs around the blonde’s waist. He couldn’t think at all with Lucius pulling at his cock and hitting his prostate continuously.

“I can’t last much longer, Harry,” gasped Lucius, feeling his balls drawing up in preparation to release his seed. “Come for now, love.”

With that command, Harry screamed and came, spilling his seed between them and clenching down on the invading cock. Lucius cried out at Harry’s release and immediately followed, giving one last thrust and spraying his seed into Harry’s receptive body.

Lucius pulled out slowly and collapsed beside the sated brunette. “I love you, Harry.”

“Love you too, Lucius,” mumbled Harry sleepily, already on the verge of sleep. Within moments they were both peacefully asleep wrapped in each other’s arms.

*****

“Finally,” muttered Draco, shutting the door behind them. “I didn’t think they would ever leave us alone.”

“Well, now that we’re here, what do you plan to do with your time?” purred Severus, slowly stripping his dress robes off.

“I’m sure I can think of something,” said Draco, stepping up to Severus and almost ripping the clothes from his body.

As soon as they were both divested of their clothing, Draco climbed onto the bed. Instead of lying down on the bed, Draco remained on his hands knees. Severus, tempted by the display in front of him, quickly grabbed a jar of lubricant, opening the jar on his way to the bed. By the time he actually climbed onto the bed, Severus had a generous amount of lube coating his fingers.

Severus pushed a finger into Draco’s exposed opening and immediately found the blonde’s prostate. Smirking at Draco’s groan and subsequent thrust back, Severus quickly added a second finger. As Draco’s movements began increasingly more frantic, Severus withdrew his fingers, slathered more lube on his cock, and shoved his cock into Draco’s body with one thrust.

“Fuck, Sev!” shouted Draco, shuddering as that thrust gave equal amounts of pain and pleasure. Severus stopped to give Draco time to adjust. Once the pain died down, Draco wriggled his hips. “More, Sev.”

Severus pulled back until only the head of his cock was still buried, and then slammed back home, causing Draco to scream in pleasure. Severus set a quick, forceful pace, delighting in Draco’s screams and pleas for more.

“Harder, Sev,” cried Draco, rocking into Severus’ thrusts. “I’m about to-“ Draco screamed as his release hit, coming hard and clenching around Severus’ thrusting cock, pulling the brunette’s climax from him.

Severus collapsed beside Draco, muttered a cleaning spell, and pulled his new husband close. He kissed Draco’s forehead softly, and they were both soon asleep.
