Chapter 7: Red Velvet & Blue Satin

For everyone the next couple of weeks flew by… For Hermione and Bill? It dragged on slower than they couple imagine. They wanted to be married already so Bill could teach Hermione more about the marking process and they could work on being husband and wife a little before becoming completely one. For wizards the marriage bond could unite them body and soul… The lycanthrope marking bond would also link their minds and magic. They would be able to feel each other's emotions, read thoughts, feed off each other's energy, and in some cases – gift magic. It was something Bill was thoroughly looking forward to showing Hermione and he knew she would jump at the chance to learn more.

"Penny for you thoughts?" Hermione asked climbing into Bill's lap as he was reading in the living room.

"I was just thinking of everything I get to tell you once we're married." He said nuzzling into her neck

"Well it won't be long now… Hermione said nodding her head towards the rising sun. The two of them had grown into a routine of waking before the sun and watching it rise, just because it was their wedding day didn't mean they would miss it.

"8 hours and you'll be my wife." He whispered and nipped at her earlobe

"Mrs. Hermione Weasley… I love it!" She said with her big caramel orbs looking into his. He loved this witch, she was becoming more responsive to him the more connected they've become. And the closer they get to the Blue Moon the more he can feel her inner wolf coming out.

Just imagine once we've marked her… She will be like us… She will be one with us.

"Do you think I'll have a.. ya know.. wolf?" Hermione asked squirming a little in Bill's lap.

Bill's eyes lit up and Rudi took over

"Yes my sweet mate, it's true. You will get a little wolfish, nothing extreme but I will receive my mate equivalent, your alter ego if you will." Rudi nuzzled her neck, licking and nipping it. "I have some names picked out but I will see how she is before I give her a proper name. Names mean everything to wolves. A good strong name can help keep other predators away from their territories."

Hermione weighed the information and nodded in agreement.

"Come love, get back to bed just for a little while, you'll need your rest for tonight…" He said licking the nape of her neck to behind her ear.

"Or we could just go back to bed and not rest…"

Hermione hopped off his lap and sashayed up the stairs. Bill shook his head and laughed, "Merlin this witch will be the death of me…"

Molly Weasley truly outdid herself, most of the decorations were reused from George and Angelina's wedding the weekend before, they just transfigured the colors. The only non-Weasley's that attended were Luna & Neville, who brought their dates. Red velvet was draped everywhere, the tents were covered in red velvet, pine cones and white calla lilies.

"Knock, knock!" Ginny called coming into Hermione's room, "Oh 'Mione! You look like a Grecian goddess!" Ginny squealed

"You've seen me in my dress before Ginny.." Hermione said blushing beet red.

"But Hermione… You're glowing! Today you're getting married! We are going to be sisters!" Ginny said handing Hermione her thick velvet like wrap, this fabric draped around her shoulders to help keep her warm.

"You look like the lady that loved all of those spotted dogs!" Ginny said choking back tears

"Cruella De-Ville?" Hermione laughed at her friend "Well she did have beautiful dresses, but she was an awesome human Gin!" Hermione said smoothing out the dress looking at her curves. It really was a beautiful dress, Bill get ready to have your socks knocked off.

"Let me see… Oh Hermione. You are absolutely breathtaking." Molly Weasley had burst into the room, she wasted no time crossing the room to envelope the witch into a bone crushing hug. She kissed her head and places a crown of moonflowers on her head.

"To show your new loyalty to the moon and to your mate. Come lovely, it's time to make you a Weasley!"

The wedding ceremony was fairly quick, Percy did the ceremony and when they kissed for the first time as man and wife the crowd erupted into cheers. When Bill picked Hermione up to cradle her and continued to kiss her there were whistles and hoots from all the men. Bill set her back down to show her off to the crowd but as they descended down the aisle he scooped her up and flung her over his shoulder and waltzed away from the crowd. Hermione was laughing as she waved at the Weasley's handing upside down.

"Congratulations to Bill & Hermione, I never imagined this happening but now that it has I couldn't imagine anyone else for either of you. We love you both very much!" Arthur boomed at the head of the table, the Weasley's has all gathered together for a wedding feast in the honor of the newly married couple. Goose, pig, fish and lots of sweets. But Bill & Hermione weren't hungry for food, small touches, stolen glances and tender kisses. All motions creating and building a smoldering fire inside both of them.

Although the Full moon was last week, the emotions were still there, the heighten senses and primal urge was still there. The moon was to rise in 30 minutes and Rudi was beginning to become restless.

Bill & Hermione had started to make their rounds to tell everyone goodbye. Hermione stopped in front of the grinning portrait of Fred Weasley.

"Well Granger… I guess I can't call you that anymore!" They both laughed as Bill came to stand by her.

"You take care of this one mate, she's a gem…" Fred said in all seriousness and put his hand up towards the edge of the portrait. Hermione mimicked the action as if to hold his hand, palm-to-palm.

"I plan to Freddie. I'm glad… We're glad you were able to be here for all of this.." Bill said sincerely touching the portrait.

"Don't get all mushy on me brother – go, take your bride and have a grand ol time." Fred said with a wink. Hermione winked back and tugged her husband's hand away from the now hysterical Fred.

The newlywed couple had found an abandoned cabin on a plot of land not too far from the Burrow. A 2-story cabin surrounded by heavy woods that went on for acres – 90 to be exact and a cozy 2 acre lake with a dock. The only room that had been updated was the bedroom just in time for the wedding. Plush cushions and blankets lined the room and bed – a massive Cali-King bed with deep blue satin sheets.

"Oh Bill." Hermione gasped as Bill carried her over the threshold. It was a muggle tradition she had asked him to do, her father had done it for her mother.

"3 more weeks and I will mark you here." Bill said tracing the corner of the neck lightly. Bill laid her down onto the bed and with a wave of his hand their clothes disappeared.

"You need to teach me this." Hermione said watching Bill pace back and forth in front of her at the foot of the bed.

"You are absolutely breathtaking." He said as he stopped pacing and grabbed her ankles lightly. He was stroking her so delicately it was driving her insane.

"Oh really Mr. Weasley?" She raised an eyebrow

"Oh witch you have no idea what you do to me." Bill was practically panting now watching her lean up on her elbows, her chest lifting into the air. She shook her head allowing her curls to dangle down bouncing against the bed.

"Show me husband." She purred.

Weeks went by and the couple had barely left the room. Molly had full stocked their kitchen with food, the only rooms they knew existed were the bedroom, the bathroom and the fridge.

"Do you think we should leave the house today?" Hermione asked draped all over her husband

"We probably should… Tonight you become mine and Rudi is restless and I think we should work on some of the house today."

"Do you know any spells to help clean up the dining and living area?"

"If you start breakfast I will spruce up the place a bit." Bill kissed her nose and slipped out from the bed taking the sheet with him.

"You should get dressed before I get up, or else we might never get dressed." Hermione snickered

"Love, we haven't worn clothes for 3 weeks… I don't even know where they are in the house…" Bill laughed as he entered the bathroom, "FOUND THEM!" He hollered from the bathroom.

Hermione got up to go into the kitchen, she found a robe to put on so she wasn't completely naked. Maybe they could stay out of the bedroom if they had some clothing on.

Molly had really out done herself stocking the kitchen for them. She was so pleased to find everything she needed to make a full English breakfast. Every coffee flavor and tea you could think of. Bill came in to see Hermione bustling around the kitchen gathering what she needed. Bill popped up at the bar and sat on one of the 3 bar stools available watching his wife start breakfast.

"Need any help love?"

"Not with the food… But those spells? Could you get the other living areas tidy enough so maybe we could go out today and find some new furniture?" She plopped out 4 perfectly poached egges and grinned at Bill.

"I think I can do that, maybe we can go by Flourish & Blotts? I'd like to replenish our library."

"Mmmm keep talking like that and we'll never make it…" Hermione smirked as she toasted the English muffins on the griddle.

"Don't tell mum but.." Bill started as he burped and grinned boyishly at his wife.

"William!" Hermione giggled as she cleaned up the plates

"Rudi wanted to say thank you, I couldn't help it!"

"Oh sure! Blame the wolf! Poor Rudi, he's probably resting gaining his strength for tonight…" Hermione's eye flashed at her mate. She crossed in front of him, Bill swiveled around on his stool and pulled her in between his legs kissing her neck and collarbone.

"Go get cleaned up mate, while I tidy this room up then we will venture out into society." Bill nipped at her neck, spun her around and spanked her on her butt. She giggled as she ran away to get ready.

Hours later and several hundred galleons spent the couple came back to their house sending their new purchases to place themselves in the house.

"I'm absolutely exhausted…" Hermione said falling onto the new couch they had purchased.

"I think a nap is in order before the moon rises." Bill said snuggling onto the couch with her.

"How long do we have?"

"3 hours and 10 minutes… That's plenty right?" Bill asked setting an alarm clock up on the side table

"I'll set the food up on a warming charm so we can eat when we're hungry." Hermione yawned

"Mmmm Bill that was much needed." Hermione said stretching out to turn off the alarm but she found the couch empty.

"Bill is resting for the moment mate. Our time has come and you will be mine." Rudi said coming up behind Hermione and licking the exposed skin on her neck.
