Hello everyone, I know I haven't updated Kitten's Padfoot, and I'm sorry. This came to me and I have been trying to write it! Now I know there are stories like this but I was written out before those others were. So R&R!

Now, the premiere of To Have and To Hold:
It was a beautiful Thursday, July 7 during the summer between 6th and 7th year. School had ended a week ago and all were well. In the suburbs of Kensington, London; in a little white church; up at the alter, waited a boy.
He was whereing a black tuxedo and a red tie. His ebony hair was messy but a little tamer than usual. His wire rimmed glasses sat on the bridge of his nose patiently. His emerald eyes held a sparkle that only an old man he once knew could have. He was a little jumpy, shifting from foot to foot. Glancing nervously at the doors at the back to the chruch.
The pews consisted of a blonde, long necked woman with a very large, purple-faced man. Although you couldn't see it, the blonde woman was happy. She had always loved the green eyed boy but was made to treat him that way by her husband, who she often called in her head, "The Slave-driver".
On the other side of the church sat a curly brown haired woman, who looked at the green eyed boy with warm cinnamon eyes. She was wiping away tears as she did so. Next to her was a tall man, who also had brown hair, but darker.
Next to the green eyed boy up at the alter was a large blonde boy with watery blue eyes. He was very proud with himself that he had won the position of Best Man. Next to him stood a very tall brown haired boy about 18 years old. He had a strong build and you could tell he was the child of the brown haired adults on the other side of the room.
A minister came and stood on the other side of the green eyed boy. The boy nodded and the organ started. The doors opened and out came a small brown haired little girl. H She wore a mini wedding dress and carried a basket of red rose petals. She looked about 7 years old. After her came out the bride.
She was wearing a beautiful white wedding dress. It had two inch straps and a square neckline. It went down and starting at her waist gradually went out. It had diamonds sewn into it. She carried a bouquet of red roses that matched the green eyed boys tie. Her hair fell in soft ringlets, half up, half down, down her back. She looked lovingly at the boy as she came to stand next to him.
The minister started, "Dearly beloved, we gather here to witness the bond of Holy Matrimony between these two young people. If anyone had any objections as to why these people should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace." No one objected.
"I will now read a passage from the book of Corinthians. Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends."
By now all the women were crying. "Please repeat after me," the minister said to the green eyed boy.
"I, Harry James Potter," he started.
"I, Harry James Potter," he repeated.
"Take you, Hermione Jane Granger to be my lawfully wedded wife,"
"Take you, Hermione Jane Granger to be my lawfully wedded wife,"
"To have and to hold from this day forward,"
"To have and to hold from this day forward,"
"For better or for worse,"
"For better or for worse,"
"For richer, for poorer,"
"For richer, for poorer,"
"In sickness and in health,"
"In sickness and in health,"
"to love and to cherish till death do we part."
"to love and to cherish till death do we part." Harry finished with tears in his eyes.
Harry and Hermione locked eyes. A single tear slipped out of aerate as she mouthed," I love you." He mouthed back, "I love you, too," as a single tear escaped his eye as well.
"Now, Hermione repeat after me," He said to her.
"I, Hermione Jane Granger," he started.
"I, Hermione Jane Granger," she repeated.
"Take you, Harry James Potter to be my lawfully wedded husband,"
"Take you, Harry James Potter to be my lawfully wedded husband,"
"To have and to hold from this day forward,"
"To have and to hold from this day forward,"
"For better or for worse,"
"For better or for worse,"
"For richer, for poorer,"
"For richer, for poorer,"
"In sickness and in health,"
"In sickness and in health,"
"to love and to cherish till death do we part."
"to love and to cherish till death do we part." Hermione finished.
"Do you Harry James Potter, take Hermione Jane Granger as your lawfully wedded wife, as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." Harry said strongly.
"Do you Hermione Jane Granger, take Harry James Potter as your lawfully wedded husband, as logn as you both shall live?"
"I do." Hermione said just as strongly as Harry.
"Through the power invested in me, through the Chruch of England, I pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The minister finished with a smile.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other will love and caring. They only saw each other. Then Harry kissed her with such a passion they both saw foreworks. It felt so good to be together.
"I give you, for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Potter!" They minister said when they pulled apart. The small audience broke into applause. Hermione's mother came up and hugged both of them. As well as her father, her sister, Layla and her brother, Jordan. Even the Dursely's came up to them with warm congratulations.
Although they were as happy as someone can bee and more. They both felt that a giant red headed clan was missing.
But they knew they had done the right thing in not inviting them, partly because Ginny and Ron were in love with Harry and Hermione but for protection. They only people who knew of this was both Harry and Hermione's families. Plus a certain dead convict.
Harry and Hermione had been together ever since 3rd year and the werewolf. Harry had told Hermione that he used a memory of her to fight the dementors. They knew it had to be secret for Hermione's protection. Hermione and Harry had told their families but Sirius had found out by himself.
During the summer between 4th and 5th year they had to be careful. They had spent that summer in Grimmauld Place. One day they snuck off to be alone ending up in a bedroom in the back of the house where hardly anyone goes. Sirius had gone looking for then because it was lunch time. Whe he found them they were in on a bed in the middle of a snoggind session. They explained to him that they had been together since 3rd year, that he was not allowed to tell anyone and that they had only been with other people so that people wouldn't get suspicious about why neither of them were in relationships.
Sirius had been faithful and had taken that secret to the grave. They had had a feeling Dumbledore knew because of the look he got in his eyes when he saw them together. But mostly because he knew everything!
They had decided to get married now, so young, because they wanted to be together forever. Also because in case something happened to one of them in the war that was approaching fast. They wanted to know that when they both survived and walk off the battle field that their husband or wife was waiting for them. They were only going to tell people after Voldemort was killed.
Now Harry would be 17 at the end of the month and Hermione would be 18 in September, but really 19 because of the time turner. They were married and in love. Hermione had an extremely rare, giant, perfect princess cut, 6 carat red diamond on her finger in a platinum setting with one 1 carat white diamond on either side. Harry had a plain platinum band to match hers. Hermione's ring was so rare it could have belonged in a set of the crown jewels. But Harry could afford especially after getting his parent's fortune, Sirius' fortune plus the house, and half of Dumbledore's fortune. The other half went to a unknown person. Most think it was McGonagall.
Although, both rings would be definitely visible and questionable they would wear them anyway. If questions were asked the answer would simply be, birthday present for Harry and family heirloom for Hermione. They were afraid for each others saftey. Both families knew not to speak a word of this.
Harry and Hermione were now in the limo on the way to the reception in Hermione's backyard. Hermione was part of a very wealthy, prestigous family in England. If the Malfoy's switched all their money to muggle money, they would barely have an eighth of what the Granger's had. Hermione didn't like to flaunt it because she was raised better than that but also because of the Weasley's.
"Harry?" Hermione said trying to get Harrys attention while she rested her head on his strong, quidditch trained shoulders.
"Yeah, Mione," he said, stroking her hair.
"We're married." She said sending a beaming smile up to Harry.
"I know Hermit Crab, I know." Harry said softly before leaning down to kiss her.
"How are we going to hide this?" Hermione asked worriedly.
"Don't worry about it now, we have the whole summer." Harry said, thinking about their honeymoon that they would be on tomorrow. "Or at least until we go to the Weasely's."
"Darling, are we going to have to fake relationships again this year? I really hate it!" Hermione whined.
"No not this year darling, not this year." Harry said.
They arrived at Granger Manor a mear five minutes later. They went into the front door and out to the backyard. The backyard was beautiful. There was a dance floor set up under a white paper thin silk tent. Also all the guests, which was a whopping 7 people were there and in applause.
"Okay I think it's time for the bride and grooms first dance." At that Jordan and his band, Flaming Angels, started to play "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain.
Harry lead Hermione to the dance floor. He twirled her and brought her back to him.
The strands in your eyes
That color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains
Thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
Hermione had her head on Harry's shoulder.
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
"I love you, you know that?" Harry whispered.
I'll Be your cryin' shoulder
I'll Be love suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan of your life
"Yeah, I know. I love you too." Hermione whispered back.
Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're My Survival, You're My Living Proof
My love is alive and not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Harry twirled her out and backing Hermione laughing the whole time.
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the things you said
I'll Be your cryin' shoulder
I'll Be love suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan of your life
And they ended the dance with a dip and a long passionate kiss.
