Or alternative title 'Hermione's anger'

Driving along the almost straight road the two teens were enjoying the journey when out of nowhere a small town suddenly appeared right in front of them, almost like number 12 Grimmauld place in London did, Harry wondered if it was possible to place a whole town under a Fidelius charm, but then realised that they would have had to have been given the address by the secret keeper.

"It'll be that old guy that is the secret keeper, he must be able to see our aura or something, but how that would explain mum and dad being here eludes me." Hermione said as if reading his mind again.

"You know sweetheart it can be really spooky sometimes when we know what each other is thinking, or how we can have a complete conversation with a simple look." Harry said from along side her as they drove their Honda's onto the forecourt of a small garage.

Ten minutes later with direction from the attendant at the garage, Harry and Hermione parked outside a small dental surgery. Walking into the surgery they were greeted by the two people they had been looking for. Hermione using the words of a previously chosen sentence that would reverse the memory charm she had placed on her mum and dad said "Hello mummy Granger, hello daddy Granger, I'm baby Granger." She watched as her parents' eyes became unfocused for a few seconds, and then the light of recognition came into both sets of brown eyes.

Harry stood to one side as the Granger family were reunited. The obvious happiness expressed by Hermione made him feel almost as happy as she was. That the Grangers asked if they had done it and won the war, let him know that Hermione had not modified their memories without their permission, and that as usual her charms had worked perfectly made him smile warmly at his fiancée as she repeatedly hugged her two equally happy parents.

It was almost five minutes before Hermione suddenly turned to face Harry with a small look of horror on her face. "Oh Harry love, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you." She began.

Harry gave a little chuckle "Are you happy sweetheart?" he asked with a smile. Watching as she nodded her answer to him, he announce happily "Well then so am I." he then stepped forward a little gave her a kiss on her cheek, before saying "Now are you going to introduce me?"

Hermione pulled him into a hug before she announced proudly to her parents, "Mum Dad this is my fiancé, Harry. Harry Potter."

Harry waited for Hermione to release her hug before he shook hands with the two elder Grangers. "So fiancé, eh?" Richard Granger asked, "when did you two finally figure it out?"

Harry chuckled a little, "I'm afraid I am unable to reveal the information you are after, all I will say is, it was just after the final battle with Voldemort. I have nothing against Hermione revealing all to you if she wishes. Me I'm simply not brave enough." He looked at her again and let out another chuckle.

Harry was however quite shocked when Hermione grinned at him and said quite unashamedly "Harry was washing my hair for me in the shower when he announced we should get married, as if he was suggesting we should go to the shop." She then using her amazing memory told her mother and father exactly what had happened in the bathroom word for word from start to finish. The two older Grangers did not know whether they should be angry or whether they should laugh, however after a short time the laughter won the battle and the two adults had tears in their eyes as they imagined Harry's shock, and saw the look on his face as he stood watching them.

"So Hermione dear have you two set a date yet?" Helen, Hermione's mum asked.

Hermione looked at Harry for a moment before answering, "Well I want it to be as soon as possible. After all when it is all said and done we have been together for seven years now, and Harry said he will not have sex with me before we get married. I know why he said that of course, he thinks our magic is far too strong for any contraceptives to work the first time we do it."

Harry and Richard were both red faced hearing Hermione speaking so openly about having sex, when Hermione carried on as if she had not noticed their blushing. "There is also the added bonus that I want to have all our children while we are still young, so that we get to spend far more time with them that way."

Helen Granger was having trouble not bursting into laughter having seen Hermione's sneaky wink at her when she had asked her question. "Right then Mr Potter, it would seem you are needed to provide me with some grand children in the very near future so have you thought of a date?"

Harry his face bright red answered "I just do as Hermione tells me." With those words said the four of them all burst out laughing.

"Harry son, I have to say you have earned some gold bonus points with me, for your stand on no sex before marriage. But you know as well as I do that my daughter having made up her mind about something will not rest until she has what she wants… that being you, I think maybe you and I should take a walk over to the church and see what arrangements can be made." Richard Granger said putting his arm loosely over Harry's shoulder he added looking at his wife "We should be back in about an hour."

Outside Richard looked at the young man who was to become his son in law, which was something he had been expecting for the past five years, and said "Harry I think our women were trying to prank us. Now if you are serious about marrying my daughter you have my blessing and I think we should call their bluff and set up the wedding date with the mayor. He's one of the few here who can actually use his magic."

Harry was wearing a huge smile as they made their way back to the Grangers place. They had managed to talk the mayor into performing a Wizarding wedding at the weekend, which gave the women just three days to prepare. They had also arranged for a full muggle wedding at the end of the following month, but they would reveal that piece of news later. They were not however prepared for the excitement that their news caused with the two women. They had expected excuses to put it all off a short time to give the two women time to organise a huge wedding and reception.

Hermione was almost jumping in joy as they told her that her dreams would come true in just three days time. Helen was happily excited by the thoughts of taking her only child shopping for a wedding dress. Which they would obviously have to do over in the muggle town. Giving them two full days to do nothing but shopping.

Sunday morning the two older Grangers and Harry made their way to the local church. Leaving Hermione at home with the two women, friends of the Grangers, who were to be her magical witnesses. Half way through the slightly normal boring Sunday service the minister announced that they were to be having a wedding at the end of his reading. There was a swift change in the atmosphere in the church at the idea of a wedding and a reason for a celebration.

As the service stretched on Harry was starting to worry and began fidgeting, he could not figure out why Hermione had not yet arrived and the thought that something must have happened to her was getting more persistent. Finally he had reached the stage where he could no longer just sit there wondering what had happened to her. By then the minister was reading something though Harry was paying no attention at all. As he stood up to go and look for her he became aware that there was music playing and then the doors opened and there stood Hermione in a beautiful white wedding dress. The two witches with her waited patiently behind her as Richard made his way to his daughter.

Harry felt as if he was in a dream. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen was slowly walking toward him, a huge smile on her face. Suddenly he found him self being pulled to the front to stand in front of the mayor. The whole ceremony seemed like a surreal dream to him. And he wondered what he had done to deserve such a wonderful woman becoming his wife. He said his vows with such sincerity that it had brought tears to the eyes of all the women and quite a few of the men in the congregation.

The celebration began almost immediately as the church goers began to party on the lawn in front of the church, Harry had no idea where all the beer had appeared from. The Grangers and the newly wed Potters joined in the impromptu party for a while before leaving the church yard and returning to the Grangers home. It was with some surprise that Harry and Hermione Potter were welcomed into the house by two people they would have never imagined being in Australia.

Opening the door Richard nodded for Harry and Hermione to enter first. Harry with another nod of the head from his new father in law lifted Hermione off her feet and in the age old traditional way he carried her over the threshold.

Setting Hermione down his head shot up at the voice he heard. "Hello Potters." Standing just inside the living room stood Luna Lovegood, she was accompanied by Neville Longbottom. The reunion of the old friends was an occasion of real joy, Harry and Hermione were eager to know how come their two most trusted friends were at the house and why they had not been to the church.

Luna looked dreamily at Neville before she answered the questions. "Apparently the evening that you arranged the wedding, Mr. Granger contacted someone on your town council, he in turn called in a favour with the Australian ministry, who in turn got on to Kingsley who had us brought here. Sadly we did not quite make it in time for the ceremony; we have only been here for around fifteen minutes. Sad really, as I was hoping that you would have chosen my darling fiancé as your best man. Still never mind that we made it and we should go out and join in the party."

Harry looked at Neville, "You asked her then?"

Neville just nodded and wrapped his arm around Luna. "Celebration time Harry, come on." With that he turned and led them all out to the back garden where they found all the people the Grangers had befriended since their arrival in the town. The Potters were introduced to eighteen people they had not met before and reintroduced to the rest of the guests who were all Wandless residents.

With the introductions over the Potter reception party got under way. Helen told Hermione that she was a little sad that they could not invite any of their family over, but was determined that she would invite some of their close relatives for the muggle wedding.

Later that night Hermione was filled with excitement, enthusiasm, love and lust as Harry made her his as they consummated their union. Despite all she had read she had no idea what to really expect from having something she thought far too huge to fit, entering where nothing had ever been before. As she came down from her first orgasm the odd thought 'Harry Jr touched every nerve in me, as well as my belly button' flitted through her mind and huge grin broke out on her face as she looked up at Harry. "Do that to me again my lover."

Not wanting to disappoint his bride he did as she asked, several times before they fell asleep still physically joined. It was just about the best night either of them had ever had and the next day saw them sleeping in till well past noon.

When they both finally rose from the bed and went to take their morning shower, Hermione finally got what she had wanted that first time they had shared a shower. It was a very happy couple that dried off and then went in search of some food.

While cooking their food his thoughts drifted to earlier and how hearing her scream his name so loud made Harry thank the heavens above that the Grangers were at work in the surgery. He had never in his life felt as he felt that day while serving a piping hot dish of food to the woman who had made him a man. They ate breakfast in a contented silence, sitting holding hands and occasionally exchanging gentle kisses.

"You know Harry; I always thought all the tales about just how good sex could be was all hype spread about by men. I can honestly tell you I never, not even in my wildest dreams thought it could be so good. You my husband are one hell of a lover, and those witches of Hogwarts have no idea what they have missed out on." Hermione told him as she sipped the last of her tea.

A little later as they walked around the town, getting a few happy and often suggestive greetings Hermione wondered how long it would be before she got pregnant. She had not been worried about being like Molly Weasley, getting pregnant at the drop of a hat, thinking she would be more like her mother who had had a hard time getting pregnant. Her mum telling her it took a little over five years before she was conceived had stuck in her mind. Having thought about it for a while she decided to share the thought with Harry.

"Hermione love, I think you are wrong to be thinking that way, every woman is different but if it does take that long, will we love our children differently in any way, will it matter to us anyway when they arrive?" was his answer.

No longer feeling worried about Harry's desire to have a family making him change his mind about her, she was able to relax again and enjoy their stroll. Learning about their new home.
