A crashing wave as the couple kissed led to a picture perfect moment that the photographer captured to Theo’s delight, happy to see his friend and his lover’s cousin so contentedly wed. Theo’s fingers on the slightly rounding swell of Hermione’s belly gave him a calmness that he’d never known, as Draco smiled at him from his position next to the groom. Her engagement ring sparkled on her finger, red like blood, a ruby instead of a diamond. Theo wasn’t always one for tradition and their relationship had been forged in blood rather than purity. It made a nice metaphor.
