A/N Here’s the next chapter. Sorry for the long wait. Thank you all for reviewing. Don’t own anything but the plot.
Chapter 5 (Preparations)
Having the time to plan a wedding was hard when you have both classes to teach and homework to grade. Severus was only glad that the day before, when he and Hermione went to her parents’ house, he had extended the invitation for her parents to come to Hogwarts the following week to help plan. He just knew that he would need the help and wasn’t so prideful to not ask for it.
There were no chances to talk to Hermione during the first week of their engagement, having made the decision to do their separate things before her parents were to come to Hogwarts.
Hearing a knock at his door, Severus was pulled from his thoughts.
“Enter.” Severus called out, gathering his things into a pile. He was grading first year essays.
The door opened to show Hermione on the other side. She looked as if she had just finished a bout of homework in the library.
“Hello, Hermione. What can I do for you?” Severus asked, relaxing to know that he wouldn’t have to be as snarky as he usually was.
“Hi, Severus. I was wondering if you would like to start some planning. I know that we agreed that we would wait until my parents came but I wanted to get some of the magic components done first.” Hermione went into the office, taking a chair on the other side of the desk. She had been in the office many times over the year as Severus’ potions apprentice.
Severus thought for a minute that it would be a good idea to have some basic ground plans for when her parents came so it wouldn’t have to take so long to plan. They did only have until the end of the month to get married.
“I think that would be a good idea. We could have some plans already made for when your parents come here. What would your parents like to plan anyway? What kind of wedding would you like to have?” Severus inquired, hoping to have her input in the most important decision of their lives.
“I got an owl from mother this morning asking if she could just plan the reception for after the wedding and we plan the wedding itself. I haven’t sent a reply back because I wanted to talk to you about it.” Hermione said, sitting back in the comfortable chair.
“I think that it would be a good idea for us to plan the wedding and have your parents plan the reception. I was just thinking about the type of wedding we would both like.” Severus remarked, grabbing a piece of parchment from the pile of empty parchment at the end of his desk. “I thought maybe we might get together for a few hours each day to plan the wedding. But first we should figure out who will be officiating. Do you have any suggestions?”
Hermione thought for a minute. “Actually, I do have an idea on the officiating person. I would like to have the Headmaster do it. Considering that he means so much to the both of us.”
“I like that idea. I’m sure that he would be honored and would think that it was because of him that we are getting married in the first place. I would rather him think that then the alternative.” Severus considered saying the alternative, but thought otherwise. He didn’t want to alarm his new fiancé with his true feelings.
Hermione and Severus were into the discussion about the wedding and didn’t notice the time. When Hermione’s stomach rumbled with hunger, Severus looked at the time. He was surprised.
“Hermione, I’m sorry for not noticing the time. It is five hours after dinner. We’ve been here for six hours. What do you think about a dinner at Hogsmede? My treat.” Severus told her, getting up and putting the list of things for the wedding in a separate desk drawer, separate from all the graded homework and homework to be graded.
Glad to finally be able to get up and move around, Hermione thought about his suggestion of dinner at Hogsmede and smiled at him. “Dinner would be appreciated Severus. Just let me go get my cloak. I’ll meet you at the Entrance Hall?” Hermione went to the door, looking back at him.
“The Entrance Hall in ten minutes. It’ll take me a little while to get everything together, my cloak and other items for tonight.” With that, Severus escorted Hermione from his office to the Gryffindor common room.
~~~~~
Hermione was going through the portrait into the common room when she was waylaid by a person calling out her name.
“Hermione! Where have you been? You missed dinner.” The voice belonged to her friend Ginny Weasley.
“Ginny, I’ve been with Severus. We were so caught up with our conversation, that we lost track of time and missed dinner. So Severus and I are going out to dinner at Hogsmede. I’m just here for my cloak.” Hermione told her, going into her dormitory. Seeing her familiar, Crookshanks, she gave a laugh.
Crookshanks was on top of her cloak and looked as if he didn’t want her to go anywhere. When he saw Hermione, he gave a hiss. Where have you been? Hermione figured that was what he meant by the hiss.
“Well Crooks, I’ve been with Severus. I am now going to need my cloak so if you don’t mind; I’ll be taking that now.” With that said, she swiped her cloak out from under him.
He landed on the floor and with an affronted look on his face, stuck his tail up in the air and walked out of the room.
Ginny was laughing so hard she was clutching her side. “Oh, that was so hilarious. Just think that I wanted a cat when I went to school. I’m glad that my parents didn’t buy a cat for me. I would probably be going through that thing also.”
Hermione shook her head, thinking that she was glad to be going out tonight. She didn’t want to have to socialize with her housemates when Ginny was this silly.
“Well Gin, I have to be going now. Tell the boys that I’ll see them when I get back from dinner.” With that, she went out of her room.
~~~~~
Severus was just getting to the Entrance Hall when he saw Professor McGonagall. Perfect timing. I can ask her if I can take Hermione out of school grounds and at least one of her teachers will know where she is. He thought to himself.
“Minerva, can I talk to you for a moment?” Severus asked, walking toward her.
“Sure Severus. What is it you want to talk about?” Minerva McGonagall replied.
“I’m sure you’re aware that Hermione and I both missed dinner tonight so I am going to take her out to have dinner in Hogsmede. I just wanted her Head of House to be aware that she’s going to be leaving school grounds.” He told her, looking toward the staircase for his fiancé.
“That’s alright with me. I’m just glad that you asked instead of just taking her. Just have her in before curfew or escort her to her common room. We don’t want her being waylaid by Mr. Filtch.” Minerva said, spotting Hermione. “There’s your fiancé now. Have a good time Severus, Hermione.”
“Thank you professor.” Hermione said to her, smiling at Severus. “We will be having fun and eating a delicious dinner.”
With that said Severus took Hermione’s arm and escorted her to the apparition point. Taking her into his arms he apparated to the restaurant of his choice that he chose for dinner.
