Celestia could hardly sleep for an hour or so when she was woken up by Camorra. "Wake up sleepy head! Its my wedding today!" Camo shook Celestia out of her slumber. "Alright, alright I'm up. What time is it?" Camo handed Celestia a cup of tea, "It's noon."

Celestia spat the tea, "What on earth is this?" Camo smiled, "It's a herbal mix tea for stress."

"Spare me Camo, Spare me..." Celestia got up and walked towards the bathroom. After a long peaceful bath she felt much better. By the time Camo was done blabbering about how important the day was for her it was almost four.

"Camo we should leave you get married in two hours." Celestia said as she waited for her at the doorstep. Camo hurried down, "Sorry Celly, I was just making sure I have everything." Both the girls apparated to the Malfoy Manor.

"Celly, the dress? We didn't take it!" Camo started to panic. "Camo the dress is with Mrs. Malfoy now stop the blabbering and come on." The girls walked in, Narcissa met them at the entrance, "There you are! Looking lovely dear as always. Come on now I have put your dress in the guest room so you can make a grand entrance from there into the lavish ceremony. Also I have Trixy there she will help you get ready." Camo and Celestia walked towards the guest room. "Hello Miss Williams, Miss Hamilton I am Trixy!" Camo smiled, "Help me get the dress out and my hair oh god, I hope it all goes well!" Celestia looked at the two panicky women, more like one woman and half elf. "You girls continue, I will be back later I need a good cup of tea."

"Miss Hamilton needs tea, Trixy could get miss some tea." Celestia stopped her, "NO Trixy and please call me Celestia. Anyway You help her out, I will get the tea myself."

Celestia walked out of the guest room and entered the kitchen. She made herself some tea and was sipping it while leaning on the counter and staring out of the window watching the rush and chaos.

"Hello, you need something Celestia?" Celestia turned to see it was Narcissa. "Nothing, thank you Mrs. Malfoy."

"Its Narcissa, and did you meet Severus? Did he tell you...anything?" Celestia was confused she shook her head, "No, he hasn't said anything."

Narcissa rolled her eyes, "Men! Too proud for their own good. Anyway I haven't got anyone from Camorra's side in the wedding."

"Well Camorra didn't really know her real parents, she was adopted when she was little by the caretaker of the orphanage. Aunty Darla and Uncle Rob they were orphans themselves. After a car accident took their life she didn't really have a family. Except for my grandmother and me ofcourse."

Narcissa seemed a little surprised, "I thought you came here as Severus' date. But I guess I was wrong. Now hurry up go check on the bride make sure she is fine. The ceremony will begin soon."

Celestia sighed and walked back. And when she entered she stopped at the entrance of the room staring at her best friend who wore a beautiful white gown with tiny white embellishments around her neckline and waist. Her hair was tied halfway making them fall effortlessly over her shoulders with a white veil snugly pinned. "You look beautiful Camo!" Celestia hugged her friend.

"Celestia, I know I have already asked you to do a lot of things for me but can I just ask one more thing from you?"

Celestia smiled, "Ask away, Princess!"

"Will you walk me down the aisle? You are the only family I have left." Celestia couldn't help but let a stray tear fall. "Yes, I-I would love to."She hugged her friend tightly.

"Come on now I will go get dressed."

*

It was about 6:30 everyone had already arrived and seated but the bride had shut herself in the room.
"Camo open the damn door, before I break it!" Celestia said as she tried her best to break the spell.

Severus walked in, "Is there a problem everyone is waiting." Celestia looked at him. Severus was dressed in a black suit man he looked quite fetching Celestia cleared her thoughts. "She is not opening the door she has it freaking warded!!" Severus went to touch the door and sparks hit him, he flinched.

"Camo, at least tell me what is wrong?" There was no reply. Celestia looked at Severus and moved close to him, "Go bring Draco." She whispered. Severus rushed out. "Camo come on you have been so excited for this wedding what happened now?"

"Celly, I love him but I don't think I am meant for this family. I won't be able to fit in. What if I bring disgrace to the family?" Celestia huffed, "Oh please leave that to them Camo they do a fine job at that!"

"CELLY! Stop it, I am serious. I think Draco deserves someone much better than me."

"And what makes you say that, Camorra?" Draco walked towards the door.

"Dra...Draco? I, I was practically raised a muggle, how will I fit into your family? Your father is already against our marriage."

"I don't want you to fit in! I love you for who you are Camo, And it doesn't matter what my father says I LOVE YOU and I WILL ONLY MARRY YOU!" The door opened slightly and Camo peeped.

"Come out you drama queen!" Celestia said as she eyed her friend. Camo walked out. Draco pulled her towards him. "Now that all this cleared, shall we get married Miss Williams?" Camo smiled and nodded. Draco gave her a quick kiss and walked out.

"Ready?" Celestia asked as she looked at a very nervous bride to be. "I think so."

Celestia walked Camorra down the aisle. The ceremony began, Celestia didn't even notice she had tears flowing when Camorra and Draco exchanged vows. Severus did notice it and handed her his handkerchief, that's when she realised.

After the ceremony was over Celestia sat on one of the chairs watching the newly married couple dance for the first time as husband and wife. "Hello, Celestia!" Celestia turned to look towards Serena. "Uh huh." was all she settled for.

"You seem to be upset, anyhow I just came over to tell you that I did my best to tell Severus to break our engagement but he told me he doesn't want to."

Celestia rolled her eyes, "And you expect me to believe that? I don't care what you do but just leave me alone Serena." Celestia got up and walked away.

Severus' eyes were searching for Celestia but unfortunately he was stuck with the company of Lucius who twaddled about how he was against the marriage.

"Severus! Could you be a dear and get my purse from the guest room." Mrs Prince said as she walked towards him. "Yes sure." Severus walked towards the manor and moved to the guest room he opened the door and walked in there were several items scattered around he was searching for his grandmother's bag. Suddenly he heard the door shut he turned to see Serena.

"What are you doing?" Severus said as he observed her.

"Severus, I know you like Celestia. I have done everything I could to impress you but you have never accepted me."

"And why are you telling me this?"

"I-I want you to just once Severus please kiss me."

Camorra walked towards Celestia, "Celly, remember I had got a package with me for Draco could you get it for me it's in one of the guest rooms Trixy kept it I think, please hurry!" Celestia rushed towards the manor.

"Severus please, just one kiss is all I am asking for." Severus looked at her, "Have you completely lost your mind?"

Celestia opened the door to the guest room, but there was nothing there, she closed it and walked towards the next room.

Serena walked towards Severus, "All I ask for is a kiss and nothing else."

"Serena get away from me or I wont hesitate to hex you." But before Severus could do anything she kissed him. Severus wanted to push her but he couldn't. Infact he kissed her back.

Celestia opened the door to the guest room and she saw a couple snogging she immediately turned, "Sorry!" She was about to close the door when she realised that person was Severus she looked towards them. Serena pushed Severus back. Severus looked at Serena she had put him in some trance. He blinked a few times then he turned to look at the door.His expression changed when he realised what had just happened.

"Celestia... I." Celestia turned, "Oh save it." She waked out, Severus quickly followed her, "Celestia believe me it's not what it looks like!"

Celestia laughed, "Oh yeah, you were doing what then do tell me?"

"I came to collect my grandmother's purse..."

"Oh and you found it in her mouth?" She walked towards the next room and opened it and spotted the package. She entered, "Celestia please, Severus and me were just, you know. I was just..." Celestia turned, "He's all yours do whatever you want I don't give a damn!" She collected the package and walked out of the manor pushing Severus out of the way and towards Camo she handed her the package and then she apparated Severus walked out of the manor to see her disapparate. Serena was behind him, "You did it on purpose, I promise you the next time I wont be talking I will hex you before you can blink."He moved to where Draco and Narcissa were standing.

  Mrs. Prince walked towards Serena, "Did your plan work?" Serena smiled showing her the lipstick, "This lipstick worked he couldn't stop kissing me but the plan sky rocketed when Celestia walked in on Severus and me kissing."

"Lets see how the cute couple handle this!" Mrs. Prince smirked.

Narcissa pulled Severus to the side. "When are you telling her?" Severus looked at her in confusion.

"When are you telling her that you love her? She wont wait for you Severus and lets face it you are getting old, don't you want to be with someone? And you even love her and Celestia is a lovely girl."

"Wait, you love Celly?" Camorra walked in between the two. She raised her eyebrow and eyed the both of them, "And since when have you been hiding this? Speak up Mr. Snape?" Severus looked at Narcissa giving her a murderous look for spilling the beans. "Can I tell you something about my best friend, she always overlooks whats in front of her, I hope you will make her see. She's not one of them to confess her feelings, it will have to be you. And as far as I have seen her I think she loves you too." Severus looked at Camorra, "Thank you." Severus didn't waste anymore time he apparated outside Celestia's house. He knocked on her door.

"Get lost Severus."

"Celestia please let me explain, it's not what you think please!" Celestia opened the door.

"What the hell is wrong with your family why are they always looking forward to hurt me? First Lucas then your grandmother and now you! Do you have any more cousins I should beware of?"

"Celestia she forced herself on me." Celestia huffed.

"Oh sure then answer my question, did you kiss her back?" Severus opened his mouth to reply but stopped.

"I, it wasn't, I...didn't want to but...yes I did." that's all he could say before Celestia slapped him, even she didn't think she could but she had slapped him. Severus was too shocked to react he had not expected that.

"Celestia, she definitely used something, I can't really identify it but she used something."

Celestia thought for a minute this was the best way to end it, she didn't have to break his heart she could just use this excuse to get away, she took a deep breath. "It's over Severus, from my side. You can go kiss her, marry her do whatever you want!" She went to close the door but he put his foot in the middle, "What do you mean over?"

"I-I am done Severus, we are just not meant to be!"

"What about that night when we were together, when we shared a beautiful moment, does that not mean anything to you?"

"That was a mistake Severus a weak moment that's it, you can surely get over it!" She again went to close the door but Severus held on to the door, "Thats it, I can't hold it any longer. I don't know how you will react to it but I just cant wait any longer I LOVE YOU DAMN IT! I love you Celestia and no one else. And that night was not a mistake for me. I love you!" Celestia looked at him, oxygen seemed to have left her lungs, her heart suddenly stopped  she wanted to say something, answer back to him, hex him, shut the bloody door on his face, something! But all she did was fall to her knees and cry, her hands covered her face as she sobbed.

Severus knelt as well, "It doesn't matter if you don't love me..."

"I can't do this anymore Severus! I can't act like I don't care because, I do care for you." Severus helped her stand and he walked her inside the house, "You don't need to be so strong Celestia, you just don't have to do it!" He hugged her. She cried her heart out on his shoulder. She didn't care anymore what Mrs. Prince had said or Skeeter for that matter. She really cared for Severus and for once in her life the one she cared for, loved her in return.

"You honestly don't have anything with Serena? No feelings?" he rolled his eyes, "God no!" She leaned forward and kissed him. He swiftly picked her up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom. "You are the only one for me Celestia, just you and no one else. I may have loved someone in the past but those feelings are long gone. It's only you for me now." He placed her on the bed then kissed her lips then her cheek, he slowly moved to kiss her jawline. But he stopped and looked towards her, "Celestia, did you mean it when you said that night was a mistake?" Celestia looked at him, "It was not a mistake, it never was nor will it ever be." She kissed him.

She looked into his eyes and she could see the desire for her impressed in it. He held her face in his hands and he kissed her deeply, she rung her arms around his neck. "I may have been very reclusive about my feelings before, but I just can't lie to myself anymore. You are so beautiful Celestia, I don't even know how could I be so blessed to have you in my life. To have you here in my arms. Please let this not be a dream." Celestia smiled she raised her hand and touched his slightly red cheek, "Its not a dream, I am here and I am sorry I slapped you." She kissed his cheek. She then moved back and slid off her dress. And Severus, he had to remind himself to breathe, at the breath taking sight of her. He moved closer to her, "Make me yours." That's all that was required for her to say and for him to grant her wish.

They laid together limbs tangled. "Oh no, Severus!! My best friends wedding!" She went to get up but he pulled her back down, "Look at the time its 3 am, I think you will have to do a lot of explaining to her. But I think she will understand." He whispered in her ear. Celestia rested her head on his bare chest, while he held her close to him as they both fell in a blissful slumber.

The next day Celestia was awoken when she heard a noise of something falling she looked to see a letter. She quickly turned and smiled at the sight of Severus sleeping peacefully with his mouth slightly parted and the rise and fall of his bare chest. She was blessed to have someone who loved her. She slowly moved Severus' hand from her waist and got up she walked towards the letter fallen on the floor near the hearth. She opened it.

Meet me behind the Three Broomsticks at 2pm.

Not again, she thought. She checked the time and it was 1:30 she cursed under her breadth and stood up and got dressed she tip toed towards the bedroom door. "Sneaking out of your own house?" she stopped. Severus said in his raspy voice as he sat propped up on his elbows.

"I have some work, I will see you later." She walked towards him and kissed his nose.

"I am going to Hogwarts, I have a few documents to sign, Deputy headmaster duties. So I will see you there." Severus said. She nodded and walked down the staircase and before she could leave her grandmother called out to her, "Celestia, did you hear the noises yesterday night?" Celestia looked down to hide her blush, "No, no uh I have to go. See you later." She practically sprinted out of her house. But every step she took, she regretted it, she wanted to go back and be with Severus but she couldn't avoid this letter. She disapparated to Hogsmeade.
