Chapter Twelve

July 15, 2001

Hermione sat in the Gryffindor common room watching her mother tend to James. With her wearing a new dress for her and Harry's magic marriage, she didn't need James throwing up on her. "You're not nervous, dear?" Emylee asked.

"Well, this is our second ceremony," Hermione said, "Why should I be?" she asked.

"I hear Harry's pacing in the Great Hall," her mother said.

"Now why would Harry be pacing?"

"Maybe I accidently let it slip that you were wearing a new dress," Emylee hinted.

"Mother, you fiend," Hermione said, "Now Harry's going to be in a tizzy." Emylee chuckled as she lifted James into her arms. "He's going to be a wreck tonight as well."

"So, you have decided?" Hermione nodded.

"My poor husband's been sex deprived for nearly ten months," Hermione said, "It's time that I let him have his way with me."

"Well, have fun," her mother said as she took the diaper bag from her daughter. "I'll see you outside."

"Okay," Hermione said smoothing out her dress. She looked into the mirror, and took a deep breath. She had read up on Magic ceremonies, so it shouldn't be too long for her and Harry to officially become husband and wife in both their worlds. The door opened, and she looked over to see Ginny in her witness robe.

"It's time, Hermione," she said. Hermione nodded to her friend, and allowed her to lead her down to the ceremony by the lake. Harry and Ron were already there waiting for her.

"I can't believe she got a new dress for this ceremony," Harry said to Ron, "And here I am in the same dress robe from fourth year."

"That's not the same one is it?" Ron asked.

"Well, I just fixed it so it would fit me." Ron snickered getting an elbow in the gut from Harry. "How does she look?" Harry asked.

"Mum says like a goddess," the red head said.

"Great," Harry muttered.

"Harry, you've done this before," Ron said, "Why are you nervous?" he asked.

"Because tonight when we consummate the magic marriage, it'll be the first time we had sex since James was born."

"Oh, that's why you have the sweaty palms."

"I have sweaty palms?" Harry said rubbing his palms on his suit. Ron just stood there in amusement.


Harry and Hermione soon found themselves in front of Minister Scrimgeour who would conduct the ceremony. They joined their hands together which were wrapped with red and gold twine by Professor McGonagall. "We gathered here on this beautiful and blessed day to join this witch and wizard together in a magical bond. A bond so powerful, it can never be broken until death parts them. Harry, repeat after me." Harry nodded. "I, Harry James Potter, take you Hermione Jane Granger,"

"I, Harry James Potter, take you, Hermione Jane Granger," Harry repeated.

"As my loyal, honest and loving partner in magic."

"As my loyal, honest and loving partner in magic."

"I will love, honor and cherish you until the bond is broken through death."

"I will love, honor and cherish you until the bond is broken through death." Hermione smiled hearing Molly crying in the guest audience.

"Hermione, repeat after me," Scrimgeour said, "I Hermione Jane Granger, take you, Harry James Potter,"

"I, Hermione Jane Granger, take you, Harry James Potter,"

"As my loyal, honest and loving partner in magic."

"As my loyal, honest and loving partner in magic."

"I will love, honor and cherish you until the bond is broken through death."

"I will love, honor and cherish you until the bond is broken through death." The couple chuckled hearing Emylee cry with Molly. Harry looked over to even see Aunt Petunia crying with Snape's arm around her.

"This couple before has promised to be loyal together as a wizarding couple. May Merlin bless your union, and your life together. I now pronounce you husband and wife." The guests clapped as Harry leaned forward, and kissed Hermione on the lips. The twine around their hands glowed, sealing their bond magically.

The reception in the Great Hall wasn't like any Muggle reception. There was no throwing of the bouguet or garter belt. They did however feed each other a piece of cake. There was dancing, food and the babying over little James. He spent most of his time going from one woman to the next. His big hazel eyes just took it all in. Even Aunt Petunia held him for awhile before passing him to Molly. By the end of the day, James was fast asleep, and Harry and Hermione flooed home with their precious bundle. Hermione took James to his nursery, and laid him down. With the Muggle baby monitor all set up, she took the speaker into hers and Harry's bedroom. Upon entering the room, Hermione saw Harry on the bed with his dress robe coat unbuttoned. She set the baby monitor on the bedside table, and she climbed onto the bed, straddling Harry's waist. "Harry?"

"Hmm?" she heard from the sleeping face.

"You're not asleep, are you?"

"I was," he said. Hermione chuckled as she unbuttoned his white shirt. "You do realize this is the first time we've done this since James was born?" he asked. Hermione just nodded as she opened the shirt up, and began to plant little kisses onto her husband's chest.

"You know, I've been thinking," she said.

"Uh, oh."

"I was thinking of going to school to become a healer."

"Really?" Harry asked. Hermione nodded. "That's great."

"It would mean that James would have to be babysat by Molly or mum," she said, "With you away at work."

"Well, I don't know how long that's going to last," Harry said.

"What do you mean?" Hermione asked.

"With less Deatheaters to capture, the Ministry really doesn't need the Boy Who Lived, and truth be told, I'm spending more time behind a desk then out in the field. I've been thinking about something McGonagall asked me."

"What?"

"The school is still having trouble finding a premenant DADA professor. They've resorted to using the teachers they have teaching the classes during their free periods or having one replacement last two months before quitting. She asked me if I was interested, the job was mine."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but that means if I do take it, we'd have to move closer to Hogwarts, or live in the castle itself."

"I don't care, Harry," Hermione said, "I know how much you loved teaching when we formed the DA together. You'd make a great teacher, and the students would respect you because you're their hero." Harry chuckled.

"Yeah, but I want to wait until things cool down in the Auror Department. I think the boss doesn't want me to go just yet until all the Deatheaters are taken care of for sure."

"Okay, enough talk," Hermione said, "We have a bond to consummate, Mr. Potter." Hermione pulled her husband into a kiss, and she was pulled down onto the bed. They spent less time undressing each other, and were naked before each other. Hermione was just as beautiful the first time in Harry's mind. She had done a wonderful job losing the extra weight she had gained while pregnant. "Harry, make love to me," she said. She spread her legs for him, and he entered her in one thrust. Hermione moaned feeling her husband enter her, and she wrapped her legs around his waist. She pulled Harry into another kiss, and he began to thrust in and out of her. They moaned softly as they made love to each other. The magic bond joining them grew even stronger than at the ceremony, and by the time Harry came inside his wife, the bond was set around them. Now only death could separate them. They laid in each other's arms, breathing heavily. Harry had his head on top of his wife's bosom, and Hermione still had her legs wrapped around his waist. "I love you, Harry," she said.

"I love you, too, Mia." Hermione unwrapped her legs, and Harry pulled out of her.

"I'm going to check on James." Harry nodded as she got up, and pulled on her robe. "For the record, Harry," she said, "You were wonderful." Harry smiled as he watched his wife walk out of the room.
