The Mudblood And The Werewolf

Chapter 5: The Weddings

            The
Magic-of-the-peace wasn’t surprised that two couples were getting married.
Unlike most, he considered the law big business for people like him and so age really
didn’t matter to him. As long as I get paid, that’s all that I care about, he
thought to himself. Cornelius Fudge was present, as well as all the others, but
no students. Dumbledore had stated that due to the shear outrage that it would class=GramE>cause students weren’t allowed to attend.

   “Will the two
couples come forward,” he told them.

            Hermione,
Professor Lupin, Ginny, and Professor Snape all came forward and using a series
of very powerful spells (won’t do it here because I can’t think of any) they were
named wizard and wife. Both Professors kissed their wives due to tradition and
then the Hogwarts staff and Order of the Phoenix
digged into the huge feast that had been provided, which had more sweets then
Hermione was comfortable with. Cornelius told McGonagall about the man in America
that could become a basilisk and Hooch told anyone that would listen that she
had seen Filch do something strange with his cat. Hermione listened and
shuttered.

   “So I heard that
you’ve gotten Dumbledore’s cottage,” Hooch commented to Hermione.

Hermione nodded.

   “Well I think
that’s wonderful,” she said. “Married couples shouldn’t be around all these
kids, ruins the mood.”

   “And
what about you, Professor?”

   “I’ve given them my
cottage,” McGonagall said. “His rooms are just too small for a family.”

   “Well I don’t think
that we’ll have to worry about a family just now,” Dumbledore said.

McGonagall looked at him.

   “What are you
talking about?”

   “I bent the rules
so that Ginny and Severus could get married. They can’t start a family until
Ginny turns seventeen.”

   “Well I know that
Severus will be a good boy,” Tonks said.

McGonagall highly doubted that.

            When the
feast was over both couples said goodbye, with a promise from Dumbledore that their
things would be waiting on them when they arrived, this made Hermione happy.
She just didn’t think that she could live without Crookshanks.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

            Minerva’s
cottage was located on the outskirts of Hogsmead. Both Snape’s took a carriage
to get there and when it stopped they both got out. The cottage was large with
a small garden and ivy growing like wildfire. Ginny opened the door and noticed
at once that her trunk and everything that she owned was inside already.
Severus entered and closed the door behind him.

   “Whoa, this is
nice,” Ginny commented, looking around.

 style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  “It’s okay, but it reminds me to much of
Minerva,” Severus said. He yawned. “I’m heading off to bed, to much food.”

He yawned again and Ginny said goodnight.

            Ten minutes
later Ginny was lying in her bed in her own bedroom. She turned over wondering
what was happening to Hermione and Remus. She hoped that things were going well
and that she was safe in Dumbledore’s cabin. She closed her eyes and went to
sleep.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

            Hermione
and Remus entered Dumbledore’s cabin, Hermione feeling like she was trespassing
on something that belonged to someone else. True to the Headmaster’s words her
things were waiting on her, including a very upset Crookshanks. Hermione ran
over and gave her familiar a huge hug.

   “I’m sorry you had
to wait,” Hermione said.

   “I hope that thing
doesn’t attack me,” Remus said, when he closed the door.

Hermione smiled at him.

   “He didn’t attack
you during my third year, did he?”

Remus shook his head.

   “Well I think we
should get some rest,” Remus suggested. “That food made me sleepy.”

Hermione suddenly felt nervous. Now that all the
determination to keep from going to one of the Death Eaters was over, she now worried
about her wedding night. Remus sensed this at once.

   “I’m not going to
expect you to do anything for me tonight,” he told her. “If I had my way, we
wouldn’t do this.”

Hermione knew that he was speaking out of fear, which
surprised her. She didn’t think that he was afraid of anything.

Note: No smut yet, but there will be.
