Yay! It is the first chapter of the highly-anticipated story The Royal Baby, the sequel to The Prince of Gryffindor. Please enjoy…

This story contains the Grangers as citizens of the United States. I have done my best to emulate their American life in this story, but I apologise for any errors in the life of people from the US. Also, I have used different names for the Grangers, so I apologise if there is any Adam or Sophie in this!

- The Royal Baby-

"Princess Hermione saw how her true love awaited her at the altar, his suit completely pressed, all ready for the wedding, yet the Princess knew that she was originally only going to marry Prince Harry for the sake of the baby that they had been responsible for making, Harry having betrayed her by not telling her about the betrothal to Lady Pansy."

Previously on The Prince of Gryffindor…

Leaving the manor, they got into the waiting Limousine, Hermione taking care to not fall over, her not being used to having to wear them, but they were part of the stylish set that Parvati Patil and her friend Lavender Brown, Parvati having known the Prince since she was at Hogwarts and Lavender being a cousin of his on the maternal side of his family.

Hermione watched the scenery of the Potter estate, the grounds which she was familiar from her walks with her fiancé, spending time just talking about their childhoods and how they had grown up on the different sides of the world, the challenges that have happened to them before becoming the people they were now.

The limo had arrived at its destination and as Hermione stepped from the Limo, she saw a middle-aged redhead standing waiting for her, the person who had been waiting for her for the previous half an hour.

"It is time Your Majesty." Arthur Weasley, Hermione's butler, said, opening the door to the chapel.

As she remembered how things had all happened, she heard the sound of the Bridal March, the signal to allow her to enter, the place where she was going to get married and become the Princess of Gryffindor.

Potter Manor, Castle Donnington, Derbyshire, England

15th August 1999

Hermione saw how her true love awaited her at the altar, his suit completely pressed, all ready for the wedding, yet Hermione knew that she was originally only going to marry the Prince for the sake of the baby that they had been responsible for making, Harry having betrayed her by not telling her about the betrothal to Pansy.

It was the feeling of love that had won in the end, as Hermione and Harry had arranged their wedding to come as quick as possible, but due to the effects of Pansy Parkinson and her new fiancé, Ralston Potter, the person who was her fiancé's brother in blood, but following his disowning at the hands of James Potter because of his attempts to terminate the baby of the Heir to the Wizarding Throne.

She watched as the priest started the preamble about the wedding ceremony and then as he turned to the audience, addressing them.

"First, I am required to ask anyone present who knows a reason why these persons may not lawfully marry, to declare it now."

As the assembled audience stayed silent, the priest recited the declaration, the collects and readings, then the sermons, ready for the vows to be read.

"Hermione Jane Granger and Harry James Potter, Prince of Gryffindor, I now invite you to join hands and make your vows, in the presence of God and his people." He said to the couple. Turning to Harry, who held the hand of Hermione, he forced Harry to recite his vow.

"I, Harry James Potter, Prince of Gryffindor, take you, Hermione Jane Granger, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward; for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part; according to God's holy law. In the presence of God I make this vow."

Loosening Hermione's hands, Harry watched as the priest made Hermione recite her vows.

"I, Hermione Jane Granger, take you, Harry James Potter, Prince of Gryffindor, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward; for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part; according to God's holy law. In the presence of God I make this vow."

Eventually it was time to give Hermione her ring, which she accepted, then was time for them to do the blessing of the marriage. Watching as Harry and Hermione kneeled,

"Blessed are you, O Lord our God, for you have created joy and gladness, pleasure and delight, love, peace and fellowship. Pour out the abundance of your blessing upon Hermione Jean Granger and Harry James Potter, the Prince of Gryffindor, in their new life together. Let their love for each other be a seal upon their hearts and a crown upon their heads. Bless them in their work and in their companionship; awake and asleep, in joy and in sorrow, in life and in death. Finally, in your mercy, bring them to that banquet where your saints feast for ever in your heavenly home. We ask this through Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen."

"Amen" the crowd replied. Harry and Hermione got up and the priest continued to address them.

"God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, bless, preserve and keep you; the Lord mercifully grant you the riches of his grace, that you may please him both in body and soul, and, living together in faith and love, may receive the blessings of eternal life."

"Amen" the newly married couple replied.

As the priest continued through his service, he declared it time to recite the Lord's Prayer. "Let us pray with confidence as our Saviour has taught us"

The assembled crowd along with the priest recited the prayer. "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen."

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Harry kissed Hermione, much to the amusement of the crowd and the photographer from both The Quibbler and The Daily Prophet. As they left the chapel, Hermione said the one thing that she had not wanted to say just yet, her waters breaking as she walked down the aisle…

"Shit…the baby is coming!"
