I don’t own Harry Potter at all

Chapter 41: Astoria Greengrass

Astoria Potter smiled as she looked at the ring on her finger. It had been just three weeks since she had married her Harry and it only felt like yesterday when it all started.

/Scene Break/

Astoria was out shopping with her friends when she was stopped.

“Story?”

Astoria looked up to see her ex-boyfriend, Draco Malfoy.

“Draco, what are you doing here, shouldn’t you be skulking about in the dark somewhere?” Astoria scathingly asked.

“Please Story, I’ve changed” Malfoy said.

“That’s what you’ve told me before Draco, and I always believed you until I saw what you did to that woman” Astoria said.

“That was an accident Story, I swear” Malfoy said.

Astoria crossed her arms.

“She was just a muggle Story, that’s all” Malfoy said.

“Just a muggle Draco, she was a good friend of Hermione’s, who you know is a good friend of mine” Astoria said.

Malfoy looked unmoved.

“I thought you changed after your short stint in Azkaban, but I guess I was wrong” Astoria said shaking her head.

“I have changed Story, I mean it” Malfoy said.

“No you haven’t Draco, you only want me because that is a way into the Greengrass money” Astoria said.

Malfoy took a step back.

“That’s a lie” he hissed.

“No it isn’t Draco, since the Malfoy money is all, but gone you needed to find a way back to the life you grew up in, and I was a way in” Astoria said holding back her tears.

“Who’s been telling you these lies?” Malfoy hissed.

“Harry” Astoria said.

“Of course, it had to be Potter” Malfoy growled.

“Look Draco, I have to go” Astoria said.

As she tried to move passed Malfoy he caught her arm and pulled her back.

“I’m not done with you, what else had Potter said?” Malfoy demanded.

“You’re hurting me Draco” Astoria said as she tried to wiggle out of his grasp.

“Answer me, damnit” Malfoy demanded.

Soon he felt a tip of a wand on the back of his neck.

“Remove your hands off Miss Greengrass, Malfoy.”

Malfoy turned and found himself staring in the eyes of one Harry Potter.

“Stay out of this Potter” Malfoy growled.

“I will once again ask you to remove your hands off of Miss Greengrass now” Harry said sternly.

“And I told you to butt out Potter this is between Astoria and I” Malfoy said.

“I am one of Miss Greengrass’ personal bodyguards on retainer by her father Lord Greengrass” Harry said.

“Grunt work, I always knew that was all you were good for Potter” Malfoy said.

“Please Malfoy, this I do for free. You know that the Potters are quite wealthy, I just like doing something worthwhile” Harry said.

Malfoy was getting annoyed at this and let go of Astoria as reached for his wand. He barely got it out when he was knocked out by a stunner.

“Are you alright Story?” Harry asked putting his wand away.

Astoria nodded, “thanks Harry.”

“No problem, now how about I get you home” Harry said holding out his arm.

Astoria smiled and took Harry’s offered arm.

/Scene Break/

It was soon after that Harry and Astoria started to see one another. They enjoyed their time together. It was also a bonus that her father approved of the relationship. Her father only saw this as a good connection and would be a great alliance with the Potters. Astoria saw it as finally being with a man that she loved. And it seemed that Harry felt the same.

They dated a few months when Harry popped the question to her. Their wedding was not as lavish as she dreamed, but it was just as special and romantic. They decided to make their wedding small since Harry was still hounded by the media even after all these years and he wanted this to be private. Astoria agreed since she had been on the wrong end of the media a few times as she dated Harry and craved the privacy.

Astoria felt a pair of arms wrap around her and she smiled.

“Hey, what are you thinking about so hard?” Harry asked.

Astoria turned around and wrapped her arms around her husband’s neck.

“Just reminiscing” she said.
