Hi back with the next chapter, hope you like it, there's some lemony bits in here, but please forgive me I haven't written a lot of these, still new to me.
Hope you like it though, Sirius xoxo
Chapter 7
Harry gently lifted her up off the bed and stood in front of her. Hermione's hands found his button up shirt and she started undoing the buttons. Harry quickly disposed of his shoes and socks and then started to lift Hermione's jumper over her head. They continued until they only had their underwear on and Hermione turned and pulled the covers off the bed and climbed inside.
"Are you sure Mione, we don't have to do this you know?" Hermione smiled and pushed her body against Harry's bare skin. His intake of breath was enough of a response for her and she continued on.
"Very sure, Harry."
Harry's hands felt every part of her body and he committed it to memory. This was Hermione, his Hermione, and he didn't want to rush it, he wanted to savour every minute with her. He undid the clasp on the back of her bra and then slowly removed her underwear. She reached for his and then they were finally free to take their relationship to the next level.
Harry kissed her and when his breathe had run out, he moved to kiss her neck and then down her shoulders. He tasted her skin and it was better than he had ever imagined. Her groans were spurring him on and soon he found his need to be inside her was overpowering. He laid on top of her and as she was running her hands over his back and down to his butt, he slowly pushed inside of her. He reached her barrier and stopped quickly. She knew this was going to happen so she held his body inside hers so he couldn't pull out.
"Mione, I didn't know..."
"It's OK Harry, just go slow."
"OK sweetheart, kiss me!" he commanded. Hermione kissed him and as she moved into the kiss more, he pushed through her barrier. She tried to gasp but he wouldn't let her mouth go. He stayed very still for a minute and then when she started moving up to meet his body Harry took it as his cue to start moving too.
It was slow and gentle, Harry was even more aware of the fact that this was her first time, so he wanted it to be memorable for her. He took her legs and wrapped them around his body and Hermione gasped at the change of angle. She had a light sheen over her body and he was thankful they still had the bedside lamp on, he wanted to see her come for him.
The movements were getting faster and Harry knew she was close, he tried to control his own urges, there was time for that later. He was doing well until Hermione started to come undone. The noises she was making was sending thrills straight to Harry's gut and he didn't know if he could hold on any longer.
"Harry, I'm coming!" Hermione's body jerked up towards his and her back arched off the bed. The angle she gave him sent thrills through him, he pumped into her three more times and came with a grunt of her name. He collapsed on top of her but then rolled over, taking her with him.
After a few minutes of trying to regulate their breathing, Hermione spoke,
"Sorry Harry, I should have told you." Hermione's head was buried into the crook of his shoulder and even though Harry tried to look into her eyes, she wouldn't move.
"Mione, are you OK?"
"Yes, better than OK," she laughed. He moved her away from him so he could see her face. Their lower bodies were still entangled.
"Mione I didn't realise.."
"I know Harry, everyone thought I slept with Ron, but you know now, I obviously didn't," Hermione brushed the hair away from his eyes and he turned onto his side so he could look her in the eyes.
"Don't get me wrong, I feel extremely privileged Mione but I have to ask, Why?"
Hermione knew he meant her and Ron. She was drawing circles on his chest unconsciously and Harry grabbed her hand. She looked at him surprised, "Mione, you keep doing that, I won't be able to stop round 2 from starting, and I really want to hear your answer first." Hermione giggled and put her arm around his back. She looked at him and started to tell him her reasons.
"Harry, when I started going out with Ron, it was only because I thought you would never be interested in me in that way.."
"Are you kidding Mione, I loved you even then."
"Yeah well I know that noooowwww, don't I, but then was a different story. Don't get me wrong I did love Ron, but I was never, ever in love with Ron?" Hermione continued with her story.
"Anyway, it got to a stage when it sort of had to happen, Ron was asking questions, and then Ron was getting angry. I tried saying I wanted to wait till I was married, but he saw through that straight away," Hermione was deep in thought, obviously remembering details from her past.
"Anyway, one night he called me on it,"
"What do you mean?" Harry was trying very, very hard to concentrate as her hands started drawing circles on his back again.
"He asked me if I was in love with you?"
"What?" Harry was shocked, Ron had never said anything or even given him a reason to suspect he thought that.
"Yeah, and to be honest Harry I couldn't answer him, so he took my silence as an affirmative answer and that was the end of Ron and I."
"Oh Hermione, I am so sorry." Hermione pulled him closer to her and held him for a few minutes, "There's nothing to be sorry for Harry, it was me, I had to deal with my love for you. Anyway after that, I decided no more boyfriends, it wasn't fair that I could not give them 100%." Hermione pulled back and looked at Harry and noticed he was smiling and she couldn't help but smile too.
"You know what Hermione Granger soon to be Mrs Potter?"
"What Mr Potter, soon to be Mr Granger?' Harry looked at her shocked and she giggled again,
"I am sorry for Ron but completely overjoyed for myself, isn't that horrible?" Harry laughed and Hermione laughed with him.
"It was always you Harry, always." Harry looked at her and kissed her again. He loved this woman so much. Harry pulled up the covers and snuggled Hermione into his side and after the day and night they had just had, she needed sleep.
Hermione woke up to the sunshine streaming in through the window. She felt warm and contented for the first time in her life and it only took her a few seconds to remember why.
She turned to look at Harry sleeping and gently touched his face. He subconsciously pulled her into him and Hermione smiled.
"What's ya thinking Mrs Potter?" Harry said with a groggy, morning voice, and Hermione giggled and thought how she absolutely loved that name.
"Just thinking how extremely lucky I am to have someone as wonderful as you Harry."
"You, oh no, I am the lucky one Mione, I finally got the love of my life and I am not letting you go again." Harry pulled her closer to him and his arousal was obvious.
"Looks like someone needs some attention!" Harry wiggled his eyebrows and then quickly turned into her body and kissed her all over her neck and stomach and she laughed.
"Stop tickling me, Harry!" Harry said 'nah' and continued tickling and stirring her up.
After another wonderful love making session, Hermione jumped up to have a shower.
Harry got up and got his morning paper and a coffee and walked out onto the balcony, it was shaping up to be a beautiful day. Actually, it probably wouldn't have mattered if there were torrential rains and floods, nothing could dampen Harry's mood today. He looked over towards the bathroom as she had just turned on the shower.
Hermione was letting the hot water run all over her body and the feeling was very relaxing. She felt sore but, in a good way. She looked down at 'her' ring and smiled. She raised her face towards the hot water and let it run slowly over her face and hair.
The door slid open and Harry removed his robe, he saw her standing there with the water running down over her face and her back to him. He looked down at her naked figure and decided this was another vision he would commit to memory.
Hermione heard the sliding door open and smiled. She didn't move, she wanted him to think she hadn't noticed.
"You know Mr Potter, you shouldn't sneak up on a witch, you never know what she could do to you?" Harry stopped in his tracks and then moved towards her, he leant down and whispered in her ear, "Have your best go Mrs Potter." Harry kissed her neck and ran his hands over the front of her body.
Hermione turned into him and she put her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply. There was something sensual about being in a shower together.
"Mione, I was just thinking," Hermione looked at him and smiled a cheeky smile, "What again, Harry, that's a quick recovery!" Harry laughed and wiggled his eyebrows again and she laughed.
"Even though that is a great idea, what I was thinking was, lets get married now, why wait?" The look on Harry's face told her how serious he was.
"but Harry, there's so much to organise, and my parents, we haven't even told them yet..."
"well they sort of already know actually..." Hermione's eyebrows knitted together and she dropped her hands to her hips,
"What do you mean they know?" Harry rolled his eyes and took her hands off her hips and placed them back around his neck.
"After you made your hasty exit last night, I went to your parents, but not to look for you, I knew you would go to the library.." Hermione raised her eyebrow, wow, was she that predictable, yes probably.
"Anyway, I asked your father for your hand in marriage and he said yes but not before your mother jumped up and down screaming yes too." Harry laughed and Hermione was so shocked, "You asked my parents, Harry that is so wonderful of you, I can't believe you did that?" Hermione hugged him again and Harry ran his hands down her wet back.
"Hang on Mr, what if I said No?" Harry pulled her body close to his body and the water was pooling in between them, Hermione kept his eye contact. Harry lifted her body up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. This position made it easy for him to slide into her hot core.
"You wouldn't have!" Harry's voice was deep and very sexy.
This time it was fast and furious, which was lucky since the hot water ran out soon after they finished.
Hermione was dressed and while Harry was shaving, there was a knock on the door. Hermione skipped over, she had been dying to talk to her mother all morning but was shocked when she saw Sarah standing there.
"Oh morning Sarah, what is it, Harry and I are busy today?" Hermione had little patience left for her bitch of a cousin.
"Morning Hermione, how are you today, had a good night last night did you?" Sarah obviously knew something but what?
"Yes thank you, forgive me Sarah, but what the hell do you want?"
"I know about your stupid little game, I know you are not really engaged to Harry, as if someone like him would choose you, you are so pathetic Hermione." Sarah stood there with her arms folded across her chest.
"I don't give a damn what you think Sarah, I am engaged to Harry Potter and its eating you up because he hasn't given you a second look. You are making all this shit up just to justify your own feelings of inadequacy. Well guess what? I DON'T GIVE A RAT'S ARSE WHAT YOU THINK YOU SPOILED BRAT. Now get out of my room now!"
Harry had heard the commotion and walked out. Sarah could tell from his face he was angry. He placed his arm around Hermione's waist and she leant into him, naturally. Any outsider could see the dynamics between them had changed.
"Sarah, take this how you like, but you come near her again, speak to her or even look in her direction and I will not be responsible for what happens, do you understand?" Sarah realised his threat was real and turned to walk away.
"You don't know what your missing Harry?" Hermione huffed and slammed the door.
"Oh Merlin, what a bloody hide?" Harry hugged her and had a laugh and after a few minutes she laughed too, then there was another knock on the door.
"Oh Harry, you get it, I think I will hit her, if it is her again," Harry walked over and opened the door abruptly, he breathed a sigh of relief when he was met by the Granger's.
"Harry what did she say?" Mrs Granger whispered, Harry just opened the door wider and motioned for them to come inside. Hermione saw her parents and laughed.
"What's so funny sweetheart?"
"Oh nothing, just Sarah being a bitch, anyway good morning how are you two today?"
"Well I think the question is, how are you TWO today?" Mr Granger asked and Mrs Granger was bouncing on the balls of her feet.
"Yeah, OK, just another day, hey Harry?" Hermione looked at him and he smiled, the looks on her parents faces were priceless.
"Just kidding Mum, guess what? we are getting married."
There were screams of joy and the girls spent the next hour going over details, real details this time.
"Actually I have a suggestion." Harry spoke up while Hermione was telling her mum about Sarah.
"Yes my boy, speak up, what is it?" Mr Granger welcomed a change a direction,
"Well, how about we get married, here in France, like here, this week?" Hermione and Ellen stopped dead in their tracks,
"Hermione I don't need time to think, I have wasted so much time already, I just want to get on with our lives, as one." At Hermione's silence, Harry regretted saying something in front of her parents, he should have talked to her about this in private.
"Sorry Mione, I shouldn't have said anything," Harry got up to get a drink,
"Yes Harry, let's do it!" Harry stopped and turned to look at her, Ellen was bouncing on her seat, again, and Robert had a huge smile.
They spent the next hour making arrangements and the only person Harry wanted to attend was Sirius.
Hermione told him they would have to invite Ron, Luna, Ginny, Neville, the Weasley's etc etc. After she said it, she realised it would end up growing out of proportion, so they decided on her parents and Sirius.
Robert and Ellen had meetings all afternoon so the four of them spent the morning making all the arrangements. They decided on a small church on the countryside of France. Harry contacted Sirius and to say he was over the moon, was an understatement. He instructed Sirius on the urgency of keeping this a secret, especially if they wanted to have a quiet wedding as opposed to a media circus.
Since the last day for meetings was Friday, it was all settled for Saturday. That afternoon Harry and Hermione went for a drive into the closest town to run some errands. First they booked the church, they were very lucky it was free, then they organised some flowers and finally they had to pick out an outfit for her. Saturday night was the ball at the Chateau, so they didn't need to organise a reception for the five of them, they would just go back to the Chateau with Sirius and enjoy their evening together.
After stopping for lunch, Harry grabbed her hand and asked her what was wrong,
"Oh Harry, I am never going to find a dress, I don't think I am fussy but all these dresses are so modern and frilly and it's just not me," she sighed in frustration and Harry had an idea.
"Do you trust me?" Hermione raised an eyebrow, "What do you think? Of course I do Harry, with my life." Hermione lent over and gave him a kiss.
"OK promise me you won't worry about the dress anymore OK, leave it up to me?"
Harry and Hermione decided to leave wedding plans for the rest of the day and just enjoy the scenery.
The wedding is next,
hope you like the dress Harry chooses for her...
Sirius xoxo
