 Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
Benny moved with Adi, letting his husband take the lead. Adi had always been the more outgoing one of the two of them and most of the guests were more his friends than his own. He echoed the hugs with each of their friends, knowing they surely hadn’t made a mistake with choosing the most important that made up their attendants. “You’ve all made it perfect,” he assured Henric and the rest. Torturing Lux still? Of course. The dragon couldn’t take all the teasing of the hippogriff all the time. “Consider it a favor to give me a reprieve,” he teased with his own addition.
As for picking out the dresses Hady was commented on…that had been a mutual choice. “Thank you, Hady,” Benny said with a nod and a smile. “And congrats yourself.” Adi had passed on the news of the girl’s own nuptials and while she was still young, well at least younger than them, the former Gryffindor was happy that she appeared to find her own happiness like he had with his best friend currently beside him.
And there was Candace, whom Benny realized had actually come for him not Adi. And Margo. And the sisters, Jasmine and Janelle, each of the girls and Kace gaining a smile from him. “Thank you for sharing the day with us, Professor…Mr. Kitridge.” Oh they had been gone from Hogwarts for over four years but habits were hard to kill. And then Adi’s attention was back on him and his blushing. “I highly suspect that as well,” he quietly remarked back so only his other half heard. Red as an apple, tomato, Gryffindor tie…all likely color changes.
The music had been tuning up quietly as speeches and mingling had been happening, but eventually the familiar sounds of one song in particular reached Benny’s ears and caught his attention. Where My Love Goes by Lawson had been one of the songs Adi had sung to him on his birthday…the day he had proposed…so it had seemed fitting to be THEIR song. “Shall we, Mr. Atreyu?” he questioned, deliberately leaving out the second half of the name in jest. The young man offering a hand to his husband so they could begin.
