Chapter 10

The days passed quickly. The night before the wedding, Minerva, Ginny, Tonks, Molly and Poppy came by. They insisted that Severus and Hermione spend the night apart. Remus, Sirius, Ron, Harry and Arthur decided to bunk with Severus for the night.

“You nervous?” Arthur asked as they sat around Severus’s room.

Yes. Extremely.” Severus answered.

“Don’t be. I know you and Hermione will be very happy together.” Remus chuckled.

“Remus is right. You two belong together.” Ron added.

“I know. It’s just…after everything that she and I have been through I’m afraid Voldemort will only redouble his attacks. Especially once he finds out we’re married.” Severus said.

“Look, you’re worrying too much. For one thing, you’re at your strongest when the two of you are together. I can’t think of any bond that could bring the two of you any closer than marriage.” Sirius said as he placed a comforting hand on Severus’s shoulder.

“He’s right Severus. For a Venesian couple like you and Hermione, the bond of marriage will only make your love, as well as magic, stronger.” Arthur added.

Severus sat there and looked at his friends. He knew the words they all spoke were true. He then smiled and nodded to them.

“You guys are right. Thank you. From the bottom of my hear. Thanks for being there for the both of us, through all of this.” Severus said.

The men sat up a while longer before turning in. At the same moment the women too were turning in for the night. Hermione had been nervous, scared, happy and not to mention excited. She had gone to bed with a huge smile on her face. Both bride and groom dreamt of a wonderful future together as husband and wife.

The sun rose on a beautiful white New Year’s Eve. Hermione rose silently and sat at her window. As she stared down at the snow covered grounds, she saw a figure in black. She smiled as she watched her soon to be husband move gracefully across the grounds.

‘In a few hours we will be together. And together we’ll beat Voldemort and build a life for us.’ she thought as Severus turned and re-entered the house.

The day quickly passed. At 4:30 Albus began the meeting. Everything seemed to be in the favor of the light. The Order had managed to recruit over a thousand allies in the British Isles, Europe, Asia and North and South America. They had also managed to capture at least a dozen Death Eaters as well.

“Now that the meeting is over, I do believe we have a wedding to attend. So, let us go and prepare. I will see you all back here at 7:30 sharp.” Albus said as he concluded the meeting.

Hermione and Severus were both whisked away to get dressed. As Severus dressed in his dress robes, his mind wandered. He was so relaxed in fact, he was hit by a premonition.

*Severus’s Premonition*

“One more good push Hermione.” Poppy said.

“I…can’t! I…can’t! It…hurts! Please!” Hermione sobbed.

“Sshh. Yes you can love. One more push and this is all over.” Severus whispered as he held his wife and pressed a cold washcloth against her forehead.

“Come on Hermione. Now, push!” Poppy ordered.

“Aaahhh!” Hermione screamed as she once more began to push.

A few seconds later Hermione and Severus’s chambers were filled with the sound of their child as it entered the world.

“It’s a boy! A beautiful baby boy!” Poppy announced tearfully as she held up the baby.

“Hermione, it’s over. He’s perfect.” Severus whispered as Hermione sighed and collapsed against his chest.

“Yes. Now we have a son. Our son.” she whispered.

“Our son.” Severus repeated with a huge smile.

*End Premonition*

Severus gasped as he came back to his senses. Luckily he was still alone. He turned and stared at his reflection in the full length mirror.

‘I just saw our son being born. Our son.’ he thought in awe.

A sudden knock on the door interrupted this wonderful moment as Sirius stuck his head in the room.

“You ready?” Sirius asked.

“Yes. I am very ready.” Severus replied as he faced his friend and one time enemy.

Together the two Wizards headed downstairs. The library looked perfect. Severus’s smile widened as he stood before Albus and waited for Hermione.

“Hermione, it’s time.” Minerva said as she handed the young witch her bouquet of white roses.

“Are you ready to become Mrs. Severus Snape?” Ginny asked.

“Yes. I’m defiantly ready.” Hermione answered with a smile.

Down in the library, music began to play. It was a soft beautiful melody. Severs watched as Ginny entered followed by Molly, Tonks, Poppy and finally Minerva. As the wedding march began everyone rose to their feet. The doors opened once more and there stood Hermione.

Severus’s jaw fell open at the sight before him. Hermione’s hair was piled on top of her head in curls and intricate braids and knots. They were held in place by a crown of white roses. A veil cascaded from the crown like a waterfall. Her gown was made of pure silk with rose patterns sewn down the front and the foot long train behind her.

“Breath Severus.” Remus whispered.

Finally Severus took a deep breath as Hermione began to move toward him. With each step his heart skipped a beat. She finally reached his side. She smiled lovingly at him as they faced Albus.

“We are here to witness the union of Severus Snape and Hermione Granger. The gods and goddesses above have seen fit to bring these two together in love and now in marriage. Together as husband and wife they will start a new chapter in their lives.” Albus said.

Severus looked over at Hermione as he held her hand tightly in his. They faced Albus as he began to speak once more.

“By entering into marriage, you each end your tales as individuals and begin a new tale as one. Severus, do you take Hermione as your wife? To love, honor, protect, and cherish? To stand by her through good times and bad? To comfort her in times of sorrow? To laugh with her in times of joy? And to be with her in sickness and health till death parts you?” Albus asked.

“I do." Severus said as he stared into Hermione’s eyes.

“Hermione, do you take Severus to be your husband? To love, honor, protect and cherish? To stand by him through good and bad times? To comfort him in times of sorrow? To laugh with him in times of joy? And to be with him in sickness and health till death parts you?” Albus asked.

“I do.” Hermione answered tearfully.

“May I have the rings?” Albus said.

Remus and Minerva handed the matching wedding rings to Albus.

“Severus, repeat after me. I, Severus William Snape, take you, Hermione Elise Granger, to be my wife.” Albus said.

“I, Severus William Snape, take you, Hermione Elise Granger, to be my wife.” Severus repeated.

“From now until death parts us.” Albus said.

“From now until death parts us.” Severus replied.

He carefully slid the emerald and ruby encrusted band onto her finger. His eyes never leaving hers.

“Now, Hermione, repeat after me. I, Hermione Elise Granger, take you, Severus William Snape, to be my husband.” Albus said.

“I, Hermione Elise Granger, take you, Severus William Snape, to be my husband.” Hermione said.

“From now until death parts us.” Albus said.

“From now until death parts us.” Hermione repeated tearfully.

Hermione stared at his handsome face as she slid his matching emerald and ruby band onto his finger.

“By the gods and goddesses above, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride Severus.” Albus said happily.

Severus smiled as he lifted the veil from Hermione’s face. She smiled lovingly as he gathered her into his strong arms and kissed her. As he kissed her, the couple was suddenly surrounded by a golden light. The light quickly became so bright that everyone had to shield their eyes. The only ones who didn’t notice were Severus and Hermione. Just as the light faded, they pulled apart.

“I am pleased to present, Mr. And Mrs. Severus Snape.” Albus said, his eyes twinkling like crazy.

The Order clapped and cheered for the happy couple as they followed Albus out of the library. Before they entered the kitchen, Severus pulled his new bride aside.

“Today you have made me the happiest man alive. Thank you. For showing me it’s okay to love and live again.” Severus said.

“You’re welcome Severus. Now, we will be together forever.” Hermione said.

He softly kissed her then led her into the kitchen. They spent the New Year’s with their friends. It was almost three in the morning when everyone retired for the night. Severus swept Hermione into his arms and carried her upstairs to his room.

Hermione awoke the next day shortly after noon. She stared at her still sleeping husband. She gently brushed a strand of hair away from his face.

‘Finally we’re together as husband and wife. I just hope we can finish this war and soon. Then we can live our lives.’ she thought.

She was glad Oron was taking care of the potion. The next morning they were returning to Hogwarts. They would then begin on the next phase of the potion. Severus stirred in his sleep then began to awaken. A soft smile graced his face as his eyes fell on his young wife.

“Good afternoon Mr. Snape” Hermione whispered as she softly kissed his lips.

“Mmm. Good afternoon Mrs. Snape.” Severus whispered back.

“Are you ready to face the school tomorrow?” she asked.

“Yes. Even my mind seems ready. It’s like everything Voldemort, LeStrange, Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle did to me was a fading memory.” he answered.

“What? You mean, mentally you’re healed?” she asked in shock.

“It would seem that way. Let’s test my theory. Come on.” he said.

The newly weds quickly dressed and went downstairs. They entered the kitchen. There they found Albus, Sirius, and Harry sitting at the table.

“Good afternoon you two. Would you like something to eat?” Sirius greeted.

“In a moment. I have a request for you three. I want all three of you to stand up and pull your wands out and point them at me. No spell, just point them.” Severus said.

“Are you sure my boy?” Albus asked worriedly.

“Yes sir.” Severus answered.

The three Wizards stood up, pulled out their wands, circled Severus and pointed them at him. Severus didn’t even shuddered. Instead he smiled.

“What was that about?” Harry asked.

“You see Harry, when I first came back from Voldemort’s clutches, I would freak out whenever a Wizard would draw out their wand near me. The night after Christmas, Albus drew his wand to clear the table. I completely lost it. I told Hermione a few minutes ago that it felt as if everything that they did to me was like a fading memory.” Severus answered.

“How Albus? I mean, how is it he has healed so quickly?” Sirius asked.

“Could it have something to do with that gold light that surrounded them last night?” Harry asked.

“It would appear so Harry.” Albus answered.

“What light?” Hermione and Severus asked.

“Yesterday when you and Severus kissed, you were surrounded by a gold light. Everyone had to turn away from it. It seemed you two didn’t notice.” Sirius explained.

Hermione and Severus just stared at their friends in shock. Could that be why? Severus sat down and Hermione sat on his lap.

“Just like at St. Mungo’s.” Hermione whispered.

“What happened at St. Mungo’s?” Sirius asked.

“Remember when I told you I hugged him and he woke up? Well, Severus was bathed in a golden light before he woke up.” Hermione answered.

“So, it would seem that would be one of your gifts Hermione. To heal Severus when he really needs it.” Albus said.

“I guess we’re going to have to do a little more research on Venesians.” Severus said with a smile.

“I guess so. Now Sirius, you mentioned something about food?” Hermione replied.

The six sat and had a wonderful lunch. Two hours later Albus had returned to the school and Harry returned to the Burrow so he could pack. It was now only Remus, Sirius, Severus, Hermione and Oron.

“Oron, I want you to remain here. Sirius could use a little help around here when the Order members are here.” Severus said.

“Yes Master Severus.” Oron said.

“Plus, it could get a little dangerous at Hogwarts. This would be the safest place for you.” Hermione added.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of Oron for you.” Sirius said.

Severus and Hermione nodded as they headed upstairs to pack. As they began packing Hermione started to feel sad and scared.

“Something wrong love?” Severus asked as he caught her expression.

“Yeah. I feel sad and scared about returning. What if Voldemort knows that we’re married? I mean, what’s he going to do?” she said as she voiced her fears.

“Don’t worry. Everything will be all right. We’re together now. I’ll make sure you’re protected. I swear.” Severus said as he gathered his wife into his arms.

As soon as he held her she felt her worried slip away. They stayed that way for a few more minutes before returning to their packing. Dinner was quiet. Oron fixed a wonderful meal, but it still felt weird. Minerva had come earlier to take the potion back to Hogwarts.

“I wish you guys could stay longer.” Sirius said.

Sirius, Remus, Hermione and Severus were in the library drinking tea or Fire whiskey, in Sirius and Severus’s case and eating Oron’s famous sugar cakes.

“I know. But we have to go back.” Hermione replied.

“Hey, it’s not like can’t leave. You can always come up to the castle for a visit.” Remus added.

“I forgot about that.” Sirius said with a lopsided grin.

An hour later Hermione and Severus laid in bed holding each other.

“Are you apparating to the gates or traveling by floo?” Hermione asked.

“Apparating. After I see you and Remus safely to the train.” Severus answered.

Hermione leaned over and kissed him gently. Severus gathered her tightly into his arms and deepened the kiss. He rolled them over so that he was laying over her. Every s softly he kissed his young wife.

Hermione threaded one hand in his hair and wrapped the other around his shoulders. Slowly he began to kiss down her neck. Hermione sighed as his lips gently caressed her skin.

“Severus.” she whispered.

“I love you Hermione Snape. So much.” he whispered as his lips moved down to her wet center.

“Ohhh!” she gasped as his lips and tongue began to slowly lick and suck at her neither lips.

Severus held her in place. Hermione began to buck her hips against the movements of her husband’s lips and tongue.

“Yes! More! Please!” Hermione cried.

“Oh yes my dear. There’s much more.” Severus growled.

Hermione shrieked as Severus sucked her clit hard into his mouth. Hermione clutched a handful of his hair as she writhed beneath him. Within seconds she was coming into his waiting mouth. Before she recovered, Severus slid up her body and thrust his full length deep into her and began pumping in and out of her slowly.

“Dear gods above!” she squealed.

“Hermione!” he gasped.

The feeling was so intense they froze. After a moment or so they began to move. Severus began to gently nibble at her neck. Hermione slid her hands up his back, sighing in pleasure.

“Oh Hermione. My dear wife. I love you.” Severus moaned.

“Severus. I love you too. Don’t stop.” Hermione sighed as she began rocking her hips faster.

Severus took the hint. He slammed his lips over hers and began thrusting harder and faster. Hermione cried out in pleasure.

“So…good…Severus.” she moaned.

“Yes. Do you…oh Merlin…feel me?” he groaned.

“Yes! More! Deeper!” she pleaded.

Severus withdrew, moved her to her hands and knees and thrust into her once more.

“Severus!” she cried.

“Hermione!” he gasped.

Hermione took hold of the headboard as his thrusts became harder and faster. Hermione turned her head and he slammed his lips over hers. Hermione slid her right hand down her body and began to finger her clit.

“That’s it. Finger your clit for me. Come for me. Come on my cock Hermione. Yes! Keep doing that my dear.” Severus whispered huskily.

“Oh yes. Severus. Fuck me. Come in me. Yes! Severus!” Hermione screamed as she reached her climax.

A few seconds later Severus hit his, letting out an almost primal scream. The two collapsed on the bed, panting and gently kissing each other.

“I’m going to miss this every night.” she sighed.

“I know. But there is the weekends. Plus when we’re working on the potion.” he added.

“True. I just hate that we have to hide our marriage.” Hermione said sadly.

“I know. It’s only for a few months. Plus, if Voldemort finds out we’re married, we’re in even more danger than we already are.” Severus said.

Severus held her close, did a cleansing spell, turned out the lights and they drifted off to sleep. Both fearing the coming morning. The next morning Hermione and Severus began getting ready to head back to Hogwarts. Severus was going to the station, but disguised himself with a glamour charm so he wouldn’t be recognized. Breakfast was silent. All too soon, it was time for Remus and Hermione to leave.

“Take care of yourself and stay out of trouble Sirius.” Hermione said as she hugged him.

“Okay. I’ll try to come to the next Quidditch match.” Sirius said.

Hermione turned to face her husband. She threw herself into his arms. Severus held her and took a deep breath, inhaling her lilac scented perfume.

“I love you.” she whispered.

“And I love you. I’ll see you soon. Don’t worry.” he whispered back.

Hermione pulled back only far enough to lean up and kiss him. Severus tightened his hold on her and returned the kiss. A few minutes later they reluctantly parted and she and Remus boarded the train. Once the train was out of sight, Severus said bye to Sirius and apparated to Hogsmeade.
