Part 9


\"Yer not gonna start wit out me, are ye?\"

Harry smiled up at the half-giant. \"Wouldn\'t think about it, Hagrid.\"

As Dumbledore performed the ceremony, Susana got lost in her love\'s eyes. Everything had progressed so quickly and she should be scared to death with all of the upcoming changes, but it just felt right. It was like she\'d been searching for him her entire life but she didn\'t know it.

The elder wizard handed Harry a gold band. \"Place this on her finger as a symbol of your bond.\"

Harry slid the ring on her finger.

Albus raised his hands above them. \"Let it be known throughout the world both Wizarding and Muggle that Harry James Potter and Susana Analise Snape are one. They have been joined body, heart and soul.\" He clapped his hands and shimmering sparkles filled the room. \"Harry, you may kiss your bride.\"

\"It will be my pleasure.\" He said with a huge smile as his lips descended on hers.

The kiss started soft and sweet, but then she wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened it.

Severus was beginning to feel uncomfortable. \"There are others in the room.\"

Emily elbowed him.

Susana giggled as the kiss ended. \"We\'re married.\" Her eyes were smiling.

Her husband\'s hand caressed her cheek. \"Yes, I know. I love you, Susana.\"

\"I love you too.\" She kissed him again.

A blinding flash broke them apart.

\"Hello Colin.\" They both greeted.

The younger Gryffindor backed away nervously. \"Sorry. Professor McGonagall asked me to. She said it would be alright.\"

Harry put his hand on his shoulder. \"It\'s fine Colin. And thank you for doing this for us.\"

\"I want to apologize to you. I was rude to you and I really am sorry. You just caught us at a really bad time.\" Susana told him.

\"I promise to ask next time before taking a photograph.\" Colin assured her.

She held her hand out to him. \"Friends?\"

He shook it. \"Friends.\"

Susana noticed her father standing against a wall in the corner of the room. \"Would you two please excuse me.\"

\"Of course.\" Harry kissed her forehead.

She walked over to Severus. \"Daddy, thank you again for coming. I know how hard this is for you, but I just want you to know that it means everything to me that you\'re here.\"

Snape looked into his daughter\'s bright blue eyes. She was the very image of her mother. \"As I said before, I want you to be happy and as much as it pains me to admit it, I believe that Potter will do anything and everything to make sure you are.\" He paused. \"Just promise me that if he ever hurts you in any way, I get first crack at him.\"

Susana nodded as her smile grew. \"I promise.\" She hugged him. \"I love you, Daddy.\"

Severus Snape actually smiled with a tear in his eye. \"I love you too, my precious girl. I love you too.\"

As the evening wore on, Harry noticed that his new bride had spoken with everyone in the room ... everyone but Dumbledore.

\"I\'m just thinking about how to approach what I need to say to him.\" She told him as if she had read his thoughts.

Harry wrapped his arms around her waist. \"Just say whatever\'s in your heart.\"

\"It\'s not that easy. Above everyone else, his deception hurts the most.\"

Albus noticed them looking his way and joined them. \"I\'ve made arrangements for you to have one of the empty staff chambers. You can gain access through the hidden entrance behind the bookcase in the Head Boy and Girl\'s common room. I believe you\'ll find it quite acceptable.\"

\"Thank you, Sir.\" Harry nodded.

Being who he was, he looked at his granddaughter with wonder. \"Susana, you wish to say something to me?\"

She swallowed hard. \"You hurt me Albie. I never thought that you of all people would deceive me.\"

\"I know it\'s hard to believe, but everything that was done was done for your own good. I\'m not just speaking of the danger you would have been in had Voldemort known of your existence. Although that is quite reason enough. Your attraction to Harry was immediate. The moment you saw him, you wanted him. Within a week, you were pregnant. Had the two of you know each other sooner, well...\"

\"I\'d been pregnant sooner?\"

He nodded. \"I am truly sorry for lying to you, Susie Q, but I will not apologize for keeping the two of you away from each other until you came of age.\"

\"Okay, I guess I understand. But you owe me big time. And I\'m talking more than just a bag of every flavor beans. I\'m talking Disney World after the baby\'s born and free babysitting for life.\"

His arms engulfed her. \"It\'s a promise.\" He pulled a small purple velvet pouch from under his robes. \"I have a gift for you both. Hold out your hand Harry.\"

Harry did as he was told.

Dumbledore emptied the contents of the bag. A beautiful blue stone ring and a man\'s wedding band sat in Harry\'s hand. \"Hagrid recovered these from Godric\'s Hollow after he brought you to the Dursley\'s. He\'d gone to see if he could salvage anything of value to keep for you until you were of age. I\'m afraid that these and a few other items were all that survived.\"

Harry swallowed the lump in his throat. \"These belonged to my parents.\" He said softly.

\"Knowing James and Lily like I did, I know that it would have made them very happy for you and Susana to now wear them.\"

Harry nodded. He took the blue stone ring and slid it on her finger to join the gold band.

Susana smiled as she took the larger gold ring and placed it on his finger. \"Now everyone will know that you belong to me.\"

\"Always.\" He leaned down and kissed her.\"

They said their goodnights and headed up to the Gryffindor tower. Once they were inside the Head Boy and Girl common room they moved quickly to the bookcase.

\"Piddlepaddle.\" Harry proclaimed. The bookcase opened to reveal a stairway. He took his wife\'s hand and led her up the stairs. When they reached the top, they were stopped by a door. He took the key Dumbledore had given him and unlocked it. Then he lifted his bride into his arms and carried her over the threshold into they\'re new home.

The large sitting room was bare of furniture as was the dining area and kitchen. There were four doors. The first door they tried wouldn\'t open. Instead, words magically appeared that said Staff Only. The second door they tried was a large empty room with a huge window.

\"This will be nice for a nursery.\" Susana mentioned as she moved on.

The next door led to the bathroom. It was enormous. The bathtub alone was big enough for ten people, a shower, a toilet and the vanity had two sinks.

Harry smiled. \"At least I won\'t be late for classes.\"

She teasingly glared at him.

The final door led to their bedroom. The only furniture was a king-size four poster bed with white lace curtains and two chests of drawers. Their trunks sat at the foot of the bed and two nightstands were on either side of the large bed.

Susana laughed. \"Everything we\'ll need.\" She face her husband, \"Hmm, what to do?\" She glided to the bed. \"I suppose we should get some sleep. After all, tomorrow is a school day.\" She faked a yawn as she sat on the bed and crossed her legs.

\"Sounds like a good idea to me.\" He shrugged. \"My body\'s a little stiff from practice anyway.\"

Her blue eyes looked at him seductively. \"Exactly what parts of your body are stiff? Maybe I can massage them for you.\" She bit her bottom lip.

\"I love it when you do that.\" He growled with arousal.

\"Do what?\"

He removed his robe and shirt on the way to the bed and sat his glasses on the nightstand. \"The way you bite your lip. You do it all the time and it incredibly sexy.\"

Unconsciously, she did it again. \"I wasn\'t aware that I do it.\"

He lifted her higher on the bed and then hovered over her. \"It drives me crazy.\" His lips crashed onto hers. \"I need you out of these robes.\" He straddled his legs over hers and knelt over her in order to remove the beautiful white robes from her.

With the robes gone, she lay before him naked.

\"Wow.\"

Susana sat up and her hands quickly unbuttoned and unzipped Harry\'s pants. Once they were thrown across the room, he was back on top of her.

\"Are you sure this won\'t hurt the baby?\" He asked.

She stopped herself from laughing. \"Honey, the baby\'s just a cluster of cells right now. Besides, we can do it up to when she\'s born.\"

\"She?\" He cocked his eyebrow.

\"Just a hunch.\" She bit her lip.

That\'s all it took. Harry slid inside her hot wet passage. He moved gently in and out of her, making love to her. But it wasn\'t long that she was begging him to move faster, harder. He drove into her until she was screaming for release. He more than obliged when he snaked his hand in between them and pinched her clit. He joined her seconds later spewing his hot cum deep inside his wife.

When his erection deflated, he pulled out of her and collapsed on her body with his sweat-drenched head resting between her breasts.

She closed her eyes. \"Now I really am tired.\"

\"Give me a minute and I roll off of you.\" He panted.

She ran her hand through his wet hair. \"No need. I love the feel of your weight on me.\" She glanced at her ring finger. \"I can\'t wait to show off your mother\'s rings.\"

\"They\'re your rings now.\" He corrected.

\"I know. It just means a lot to me. She\'s the woman that gave you to me.\"

The next morning, the newlyweds were met with thunderous applause as they entered the Great Hall for breakfast. It hadn\'t taken long for the news to get out. Especially when the Daily Profit dedicated the front page to their nuptials. The headline read: Meet Mr. and Mrs. Harry Potter.

The article that followed was glowing. It quoted Colin saying, \"You could simply look at the way they gaze into each other\'s eyes and know how much they truly love each other.\"

Harry glanced over at the Slytherin table. Not a single one of them was joining in on the congratulatory reverie. In fact Draco seemed to be glaring at Snape.

Susan Bones along with a few other girls rushed up to the couple asking to see Susana\'s rings and telling them how lucky they both were.

After a while, Dumbledore stood and addressed the students. \"I wish to congratulate Harry and Susana on their marriage. In celebration I have decided to cancel all classes for the day and invite you all to a reception this evening in their honor.\"

Everyone cheered, including Slytherin.

Harry looked to his wife. \"A whole day with no classes. I wonder what we should do.\"

Susana kissed him. \"I can think of a thing or two.\"

\"I hate to spoil the moment, but I can think of a few other things you need to do first.\"

Harry turned around to see his mother-in-law. \"What exactly?\"

\"I\'ve had all of my furniture delivered here from our house in Texas and I can\'t use all of it. It\'s yours if you want it.\"

Susana jumped up and down in her seat. \"Thank you, thank you, thank you!\" She squealed. \"Come on. Let\'s go see!\"

\"Might I finish my breakfast first?\" Harry smiled as he pointed to his plate.

\"Sure.\" She got up. \"Meet me upstairs when you\'re finished.\" She started to follow her mother out of the Great Hall then ran back to Harry and kissed him. \"I love you.\"

Harry smiled. For the first time in his life he felt happy and truly loved. He couldn\'t wait to tell the Dursleys. This news would surely send Uncle Vernon to the hospital.
