So, I've decided that I'm going to do a Hermione Collection. This collection with have 50 different Hermione pairings. A few with be femmeslash. There will be cross-gen, time-travel, marriage laws, soulmates, AU's and probably some other Hermione story cliches too.

I will take suggestions for pairings - but if you read my other Hermione stories, you'll have an idea of who to expect.

There will be no Hermione/Ron in this collection.

Please expect to see a bit of WolfStar as a side-pairing dotted throughout this collection too.

And yes I know I already have a few collections with the same name. But I just like the idea of ending the collections on 50 chapters. It sounds so tidy.

Fifty Shades of Hermione Granger

The Time Hermione Married the Hottest Weasley

Pairing: Hermione/Bill Weasley

The noise in the house was deafening, everyone getting ready for the big day, though the door to the room she sat in was locked.

Hermione Granger, soon to be Weasley; sat in Arthur's small study. She looked at herself in the mirror as her future mother-in-law stood behind her, slowly pulling a comb through her wet hair.

The house was too small, what with everyone wanting to make use of the two bathrooms, and the other rooms already overcrowded - this was the only place Hermione could get ready without someone barging in every two minutes.

"Are you nervous, dear?" Molly asked, breaking the silence.

Hermione met her kind gaze through the mirror and smiled.

"A little," she admitted. "It's not every day you get married after all."

Molly smiled back before setting the comb down and pouring some extra-strength sleek-easy into her hands. She rubbed them together before running them through Hermione's hair, trying to spread the liquid.

They both knew that even the extra-strength wouldn't completely tame her wild hair - although it'd make it a lot more manageable.

"It came as a surprise," Molly replied. "But a pleasant one. I approve much more of his choice of wife this time around."

"Thank you," Hermione said, softly. It meant a lot that Molly approved, even if Ron still wasn't talking to her.

"It was only inevitable," Molly continued. "You both working together in Egypt after all. I told Bill to make sure he looked after you out there, I hadn't even hoped that he would fall in love with you." She paused for a second."I'm so glad he did."

"So am I," Hermione said, smiling widely. "Trust me, the proposal was as much of a shock to me as it was to you. Of course I accepted - there's no-one I'd rather spend my life with."

"And the scars?" The hands in her hair stilled and Hermione could see the concern in Molly's eyes that Bill could be hurt again.

"I see past the scars," Hermione stated. "I know what I'm getting myself into - I've talked to Sirius a lot at the beginning of the relationship and I know Bill isn't a Werewolf, but Sirius understood about Bill's Werewolf tendencies and explained it all to me. I've talked to Remus too."

"You were worried that there would be something stopping you from being with him?" Molly asked.

Hermione shook her head. "That's not it at all," she assured her future mother in law. "In fact, I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to make it easier for Bill. For example, how raw he likes his meat, how best to help him during the full-moons - that sort of thing. Sirius was able to advise me... and things on a more personal level too."

She blushed, not wanting to discuss anything that her and Bill got up to on a personal level. Molly smiled, and Hermione could see the relief in her eyes.

"After all, I was falling in love - You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not," Hermione continued. "I know Bill's not perfect, but to me he is. He's the man I want to spend my life with."

Molly looked like she was going to cry, but instead moved around the front of Hermione, throwing her arms around her and hugging her tightly. "I'm glad," she said, finally pulling away and allowing Hermione to breathe. "I just wanted to make sure that you would both last. You're like a daughter to me already and it's not just Bill I was scared would get hurt - it was you too."

"Bill would never hurt me," Hermione promptly assured her. "And I won't hurt him. I promise you that."

"I know my dear," she said, returning to her spot behind Hermione. She wiped her hands on the towel Hermione had discarded, before picking up her wand and drying Hermione's hair. "Now, do you have a style in mind?"

...oOo...

Her hair pulled up in a bun, with loose curls surrounding her face, Hermione waited for her cue. She could see two men at the archway already, smiling as she recognised the profile of her fiancé.

Carrying the bouquet filled with Ivory flowers, she pulled her arm through Sirius' and waited nervously for the music to begin.

"Are you sure about this?" Sirius whispered. "IF you've changed your mind, I'll apparate us out of here so fast -"

"And leave Remus to explain how you kidnapped the bride?"

"It wouldn't be the first time," Sirius said, winking at her. "But just say the word and I'll get you out. You're too young to settle down, love."

She giggled. "Well, I have no intentions of leaving. I love Bill. I want to be here, I want to marry him, have children with him and grow old with him. Plus... didn't you settle down with Remus when you were like sixteen?"

"Seventeen," Sirius corrected her. "Does Bill treat you good - flowers, dinner?"

"We fight mummies together in Egypt," Hermione said. "Then we sit in the canteen and have a romantic lunch surrounded by our team. On our days off, we go to nice places though."

Sirius smiled. "As long as you're happy, Kitten," he said. "And it's time to give you away."

Her grip on his arm tightened as they began walking. Hermione's eyes darted from the guests, to the candles floating around the outside of the ceremony, lighting it up.

"Does he know about the baby?" Sirius whispered, causing Hermione's steps to faulter.

"That's not why he asked me - that happened after the engagement," Hermione replied in a whisper. "He couldn't be happier. How did you know?"

"I didn't," Sirius said, grinning. "Luna just made some interesting theories about some creature that are attracted to expectant mothers. Thought I'd test her theory out. I'm happy, mine and Remus' first grandchild!"

Hermione nodded her head. "Yup, Grandfather-Sirius has a nice ring to it!" Sirius looked delighted at her comment. She knew Sirius considered her and Harry as close to his own children as he could ever hope to have. He was always so happy when they acknowledged it too.

"And where will you be living?"

"We've given Shell cottage back to the family," Hermione whispered. "We're looking for a place."

Sirius was silent for a moment. "That's where our gift will come in useful," Sirius whispered. "We were discussing whether to give you Remus' old cottage. We're still fixing it up, but it's beautiful. The perfect place to raise a family."

Hermione looked at him in awe, stopping in the aisle to hug him. He held her tightly for a moment before pulling her arm through his and leading her the rest of the way.

"Thank you," she mouthed as they reached the end of the aisle.

Hermione turned towards Bill and Sirius reached out, her hand in his own, placing it into Bill's waiting hand. He leaned in, whispering some unknown threats into Bill's ear.

She knew they were threats by the way his eyes widened, and Hermione wondered what Sirius was saying.

Finally he moved away, smiling at Hermione and smirking at a slightly shaken looking Bill, before returning to his spot next to Remus, taking Remus' hand in his own as they watched the ceremony.

"You look enchanting," Bill whispered, stepping closer to her. "If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive."

"You'll be even happier once we've said our vows," Hermione whispered, holding his hands tight and waiting for the ceremony to start.
