Harry was not too sure how it turned out like this.
Shortly after Vegas, Harry and Draco decided to start trying to have a family. With the fertility potions on the market today, there was a low chance of a magical pregnancy.
So Harry was not expecting to pay 10 galleons for a potion and get pregnant as quickly as he did. The brunette loved that they were going to parents… But the only problem was that they were not "married", and the meticulous planning of a pureblood wedding meant that Harry was already closer to the end of his pregnancy than the beginning.

"Oh no, no. This isn't going to work, Lucius." The Tailor frowned, "His pregnancy is far too visible."
"Then what are we supposed to do?" Lucius frowned, "My son and Harry intend to get married as soon as possible."
"Have you thought of a glamour charm? Just for the wedding." The Tailor suggested, "You don't want The Daily Prophet or any gossip magazines to get a hold of this information. This could cause problems in the Pureblood Society. You know how they react to pregnancies out of wedlock."
"The Pureblood Society was always outdated, don't you think?" Lucius queried, "I'll talk to Harry about a glamour. But I don't think he would be opposed to it. Just for the wedding."
"I do hope so because a Malfoy and Potter marriage will cause quite a stir. You must be careful because joining two Pureblood families will have quite the hold in Pureblood Politics." The Tailor continued. Lucius already knew about all this and did not see why people insisted on telling him repeatedly.
Obviously, the marriage would have a significant impact on the wizarding world. The idea of a traitor marrying the hero would make news, and Lucius was worried about the backlash. He understood that Harry and Draco were in love with each other, and he was going to do everything in his power to ensure that this did not harm the two.
"Thank you." Lucius smiled stiffly, "I must get going. There's a wedding to prepare."

Today was the day that Harry was going to get married. He had always secretly dreamed of getting married and starting his own family that would not suffer through the same things that he did. The brunette could not hate the Dursleys, but that did not mean Harry liked them either. That was why he invited them to his wedding, just to be polite. Because they were blood family.
He was wearing a simple black suit with a green waistcoat, and Draco would wear a black suit with a blue waistcoat. They had decided on something simple because this was just another Pureblood event, and they would do it properly later.
"Oh, Harry darling! You look beautiful." Narcissa smiled, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm great." Harry answered brightly, "Scorp seems to have settled. I haven't thrown up once today."
"Let's hope you don't throw up." Narcissa laughed, "I hope you weren't insulted by Lucius suggesting a glamour."
"Of course not. Lucius only has our best interests at heart." Harry stated, "Do you really think it's going to get hectic out there?"
"Even if it does. We have the best wizards to ensure everything will be okay." Narcissa comforted, "Did you know that your grandfather created the potion you used for your hair?"
"I guess we must have had similar hair then." Harry grinned. This was the first time that his hair was actually tame. They managed to tame it and not look like a bird's nest. Harry wasn't sure why Draco was so enamoured with his natural hair; it was thick and unruly compared to the blonde's.
"Let's get you married then." Narcissa smiled, "Sirius! Remus! Walk your son down. I need to see that Draco's all good, and then I will take my seat."
Harry could not help but smile at Draco when he saw him. They were finally getting married. Publicly. They may have rushed through many things, but Harry could not help but notice how right everything felt. So much time was wasted, and now they would catch up and forget about all their regrets. The ceremony itself was short.
"Well, isn't this interesting?" The marriage officiant smiled, giving Harry and Draco a knowing look. The two could not help but feel sheepish. "I am proud to announce that Wizarding Law has solidified the union between Draco Lucius Malfoy and Harry James Potter."
The rest of the ceremony was spent getting congratulated by everyone, and Harry was not sure if it was expected. Still, everyone seemed to disappear as soon as they were congratulated.
"So, how would you feel if we ditched this place?" Draco asked curiously. Harry stared at him as if he was unsure what to say.
"Your parents will kill us." Harry hissed out, "And where are we supposed to go?"
"Well. It was their plan." Draco laughed, "We're married now. We've done the whole thing. We don't have to stay here and waste away. My mother and father said their wedding day was the worst thing ever."
"So where are we going?" Harry repeated, "What about everyone else?"
"Just wait and see." Draco smiled mischievously. He wrapped an arm around Harry's waist before apparating them. Harry looked around the area in surprise. This was the last place he thought he would end up. The burrows.
"I'm Glad the grooms could finally make it." Ron grinned. Now, it is time to start the real wedding. Drop that glamour, Harry."
"Are you guys being serious right now?" Harry asked, noticing Narcissa, Lucius, Sirius, and Remus apparate near them.
"Now it's a real family event." Narcissa smiled, "Doesn't this feel more intimate?"
"You know that Draco and I disappearing on our wedding day will be front-page news?" Harry questioned.
"Well, it was going to be front-page news either way." Lucius laughed, "But now let's try to enjoy this occasion."
Harry's wedding day was one of the best days of his life. Family and friends surrounded him, and he could not help but love them unconditionally. To think that he would have three weddings in his lifetime was something that he never expected, but he would not have it any other way. And it was quite the sight to see Lucius' attempt at trying to dance with Luna. The poor man did not seem to understand her concept of dance.
"This is so much better than Vegas, don't you think?" Draco commented, in turn making Harry laugh. Vegas was just a mess.
"It's such a shame we didn't get to invite Fat Elvis. He would have loved it here." Harry grinned, and Draco smiled at Harry before pressing their lips together. Someone at the party whooped, and Harry felt it was Ron or the twins.
"I love you, Harry." Draco stated, "And I will love and protect you for the rest of our lives."
"Stole the words right out of my mouth." Harry laughed, grabbing a hold of the blonde's hand.
"Guess Fat Elvis did manage to come." Draco pointed out, turning Harry to face the man. Harry could not help but notice how his laugh seemed to get louder and longer. But this was definitely the best day of his life so far.
Fin.
