Y/b/f/n= your best friends name.
S/n= sisters name
O/s/n= other sister's name

I can't believe I have to do this. My parents have had me betrothed since I was born! To a man that is way older than me! He is twice my age because I am only 16! My parents call him Mr Lupin so I don't know his real name. Although what they don't know is that I do know his name. Remus.

"Y/n I'm so sorry I couldn't stop this. It's not right." My best friend
Y/b/f/n sighs as they straightens out my dress. "It's not like you could have done anything Y/b/f/n. I have no choice." I sigh covering my face with my veil.

"Y/n?" I hear my dad call. "Oh my beautiful little girl! You're so grown up!" My mother cries. "Mam! Dad!" I put on a happy face. "Your groom awaits you." My little sister S/n squeals. I smile and hug her and my other sister O/s/n. "He's going to love you sis." She gushes. I chuckle.

"My darling girl. I've been waiting for this day for so long." My dad awes. "Let's go I don't want to keep him waiting." I sigh. I link arms with my dad and we walk to the closed door. I can feel the anxiety wash over me as I let a tear flow down my cheek. The doors open as the music starts.

The only good part about my wedding is that I chose my dress and the song I walk down the aisle to. I am walking down the aisle to the song Peggy and Steve danced to in endgame from avengers, but piano version.

Y/b/f/n walks down first and waits for me at the top. I grip onto my Dad's sleeve as we begin to walk. Each step I take a fresh tear falls. So this is my life. Trapped. Finally I reach the alter causing my groom to turn around to see me and my dad to kiss my cheek.

"Congratulations. Take good care of her." My dad orders. "I will." He replies. He turns to me and offers me his hand helping me up onto the alter. "I'm sorry. You deserve better." Remus apologises. "It's not your fault our parents did this." I cry.

He stands in front of me and holds both of my hands rubbing his thumbs over my knuckles. "I promise you, I will make you as happy as I can." He promises bringing my hands to his lips and gently kissing them causing me to blush.

"Let's begin. Now Y/n please repeat after me." The priest instructs making me nod. "I Y/n L/n  take you Remus Lupin to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part." He says for me to copy, and so I do.

"Remus can you please repeat that as well." The priest asks and so he does. We grab the rings and place them on each other's fingers. "Do you, Y/n L/n , take Remus Lupin to be your lawfully wedded husband?" He asks. "I do..." I cry. "And do you, Remus Lupin take Y/n L/n to be your lawfully wedded wife?" He asks Remus . "I do." Remus replies with a sad smile. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The priest cheers.

Remus lifts up the veil and gasps. "I know. Just do it to get it over with..." I cry. He nods and places a gentle kiss on my lips. We pull away and walk back down the isle as everyone cheers and throws confetti at us. We walk into the room I was in previously and I walk to the other side of the room.

Remus bangs his forehead on the door. "Stop you'll give yourself a headache." I sigh stressing. "I just married my student. That should be illegal! I had no idea who you were going to be! Your only 17! You've just finished your OWLS's and NEWTS!" He rambles. "Look I don't like it either. But we have no choice. Now man up and let's get this over with." I say gently. He turns to face me and sighs pulling me into a hug.

"How will we tell Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore!?" I ask mortified. "Oh. That..." He cringes. "You could loose your job!" I exclaim. "Look, I know this isn't ideal. You are my teacher/husband and my parents expect a lot more than just marriage! But we have to take each day as it comes." I sigh.

"You look beautiful by the way." He blushes. "And you look handsome." I grin. "Who else knows about this?" He asks. "Just the people here and some of my closest friends who would never tell anyone." I reassure. "But people will find out eventually when you wear your rings to school." He groans.

I sigh and hug him. "Well we will just have to tell Minerva and Albus the truth and hope they understands." I tell him. "I hope so." He sighs.

A few days later...

"Well here goes Nothing." Remus sighs. "Hey, it's going to be alright. If it doesn't work out then you always have other careers to choose from." I remind him. "I know." He smiles. I kiss his cheek and hug him quickly. He knocks on the door and we hear Dumbledore shout come in. And so we do. "Ah Professor Lupin! What can I do for you?" He asks completely ignoring me. "Well actually we need to talk to you about something." He says gesturing to me and himself. "Oh?" He asks confused. "You want to tell him?" He asks me. I nod. "You see Professor, when I was a baby my parents betrothed me to someone. I only recently got married a few days ago to that person." I tell him and he nods. "Well um congratulations." He says. "Thank you, But this is the part where it gets messy." I warn him. "The person I was betrothed to is actually Professor Lupin." I tell him. He freezes and stays still for a while. "Sir?" I ask worried. Remus takes my hand. "I'm sorry? You both to married? To each other?!" Professor McGonagall exclaims as she walks in. "We didn't have a choice! I was only sixteen! Couldn't refuse my parents!" He exclaims. "Oh yes! I remember you talking about this when you were a student! Congratulations both of you!" She says hugging us. I can tell Dumbledore didn't really like the idea but gave us a smile and dismissed us. "Well that went well." I grin. "Indeed. We killed two birds with one stone." He smiles. "We will tell everyone at lunch and hope for the best." I smile back.

Time skip to lunch...

I sit at the griffindoor table with my friends y/b/f/n and the golden trio. "So? How was your wedding? Was it magical?" Hermione asks. "Not really. But I'll have you know my husband is very sweet and cares for me deeply. In fact you know him and we are announcing our marriage to the students any minute now." I smile and she squeals. Suddenly Dumbledore is standing at the podium. "Can Y/n L/n come up please? She has an announcement." He says. The hall goes quite as I walk up and smile at Dumbledore. I sneak a glance at Remus and see him ready to come up when I tell him to. "Hey everybody. You're probably all wondering why I'm up here. Well you see recently I get married over the holidays. My husband and I would like to introduce ourselves to you all as a couple." I say nervously. "I now invite my husband to stand up here with me." I say and turn to the teachers table. Everyone whispers wondering who it is. Suddenly when Remus stands up the whole hall gasps. Remus walks up to me and wraps and arm around my waist. "Now this may be a shock to you all but let us explain. You see when Professor Lupin was sixteen he was told he was going to be betrothed to some who was yet to be born. It was a shock to me to when I found out about it at the age of sixteen. We didn't originally want this but we are learning to deal with it as the days go on. And we couldn't be happier." I smile at Remus. "I agree. We are both so different yet get along so well. We couldn't be happier." Remus smiles. Everyone cheers and claps. When everyone has stopped I walk closer to the mic. "And for the record please don't call me L/n it's Lupin now." I grin and Remus kisses my cheek. I hear all of the girls awe at this as we both sit down. "You married Lupin? I'm so jealous!" Hermione giggles. "Well he is my world." I grin. "So has he told you about you know what?" She asks. I furrow my eyebrows. "What?" I ask. "You don't know?!" She screeches. "What is it?" I ask worried. "He's a werewolf. I thought you knew!" She whispers. I freeze in shock. I turn to look at Remus who is looking at me with a worried face. I gasp in realisation and cover my mouth. I jump from my seat and run out of the great hall. Is my husband really a werewolf? Why didn't he tell me? I slide down the wall with a horror stricken face. I'm not disgusted by him and I never will be but it just means that he had to go through so much pain!
