Thank you for all of the kind reviews and words. I do have one thing to say, if you are going to be nasty in a review at least log in. I had a couple guests' reviews about how big of pansies Percy and his brothers were being. That the story was too sappy and happy I needed to get some real drama in it to be any good, I say back it up with your name. I love drama filled stories as much as the next person but I am also only on my second HP fanfic, I am trying to learn the ropes per se and I like my story. Like I have said before, I write for enjoyment, to relax and I don't use a beta for that reason. So if you can't look past the errors or the lack of drama I guess my stories won't be for you. Ok, my rant is over. I never understood when a writer says that they didn't expect the chapter to turn out how it did and now I do. I definitely did not plan for this chapter to do this but it just flowed, or so I thought. I hope you like it, let me know.

Waking to an empty bed again, Hermione feels for Percy, stretching her arm out across to where he would normally be. Feeling cool and rumpled sheets, trying to sit up, noticing as she is sitting up she is still incredibly stiff. Hearing the door creak open, "You charmed the bed again to know when I tried to get up?"

"Yes, I am sorry; I just needed to know so I could help you if you needed it."

"Don't be sorry about that," holding her arm out to him, motioning for him to sitting next to her on the bed, "I know you mean well and that all you want to do is take care of me. It is hard to let go, to let anyone else take care of me. I have been taking care of myself and others for too long to submit and let someone do everything for me."

"Come on, let's get you in the living room, a change of scenery and food will do you good and we can talk in there," Kissing her cheek, "Sound good?"

Nodding her head, "I still need a little help walking, think you can help me to the bathroom. My legs feel like I ran to Germany and back," Helping her to stand and walking her slowly to the bathroom after getting some clean clothes from her dresser. Letting her have her time to herself, while he changes the sheets on the bed and throws the dirty clothes in the hamper. "Percy," Hermione is calling him from the doorway of the bathroom, "I am ready."

"Ok love, let's go. I told you yesterday that mum made you cinnamon rolls, so how about those and some hot chocolate for breakfast." Wrapping his arm around her shoulders and trying to steady her when all he really wants to do is just pick her up and carry her, "Sound good."

"Sounds awesome, I am hungry for once." Sighing and leaning into him some, "Do we have marshmallows for the hot chocolate?"

"Yes, we do." Stopping in the kitchen, "You want to sit in here for a bit?"

"Yes, I want to watch you make me breakfast." Kissing the corner of his mouth, whispering "Haven't I ever told you Mr. Weasley, you are sexy in the kitchen?"

"Mya, behave yourself." Shaking his head at her, "Otherwise I won't let you have any marshmallows."

"Fine," Crossing her arms as she pretends to pout in her chair making Percy laugh at her, she is watching Percy walking back and forth in the kitchen.

Warming up milk the Muggle way for her hot chocolate, her preferred way, getting out the plates and silverware for the cinnamon rolls, "Do you want one or two this morning?" Putting up two fingers while smiling at him, "Butter?" nodding her head, "Lots of marshmallows?" Nodding and grinning at him. While waiting for the milk to warm, he is placing a plate in front of her and one at his place both with two cinnamon rolls on it, the plate of butter in between them. He is turning back just in time as the milk starts to steam, stirring in the chocolate and humming. Settling in across from her, "Tuck in baby, we can lounge in the living room later and watch a movie maybe?"

"Sounds good to me," settling into eating and drinking. After about 10 minutes of comfortable silence, Hermione puts her silverware down, "Though I think we need to talk at some point in stage."

"About what?" finishing up his food and leaning back in his chair, stretching out with a content smile on his face.

"First thing I want to talk about; I want to quit the Ministry. I decided you are right there is no sense in staying at a job I don't enjoy. I think I want to talk to Minerva about teaching. That is what I wanted to do, when I was in school, I thought I would like teaching."

"Good, I want you to quit too. I will take you tomorrow, if you are up for it. Straight to Kingsley's office and have you resign. He is going to tell you exactly what I tell you now, your health is more important that any ministry position. Not to mention don't you think, if you ever want to go back, you would be able to?" Debating with himself, "I have to be honest, I went and saw Charlie, I wanted to ask him about the position Minerva offered you."

"Percy!" Glaring at him, "You had no right."

"I know and I am sorry." Holding his hands up in surrender, "I just had to ask about it. I will tell you what I told him and Bill, who was visiting. I told them, I can't take seeing you in pain like that again, pain that was brought on by stress from a job you hate. A job you kept to see me but now that we are together you don't need it. Even if it meant I wouldn't get to see you whenever I wanted to because you were at Hogwarts you would be happy and that would make me happy. Even if it meant you didn't work for a while, just relaxed and did what you wanted. Had a normal life for a while, whatever will make you happy, I want it for you. That is all I want. You to be happy, so go ahead and be upset with me if you want but I didn't go there to be sneaky." Dropping his voice, "I also needed to talk to someone and Charlie was the person I trusted most of all with what I was feeling." His voice wavering, "I felt worthless and depressed because I couldn't do anything for you. I had to watch you writhe in pain and scream out. Nothing I did helped you. I needed to talk about it and understand what I was feeling before I could talk to you about it."

"I am sorry I yelled, I just," shaking her head, "Never mind, you needed your brother and felt you could go to him. I am glad that you did. That is all that matters."

"Thank you."

"Your mum thinks we should discuss us, I mean, our future and I agree." Smiling softly and looking up at him through her eyelashes, "Nothing is wrong, I just think that for me to really move on with everything I need to get everything out."

"I hoped you would want to talk but I wasn't going to push. Not today but I was going to talk to you about some of what you said." Watching her finish her food and push her plate away, picking up their dirty dishes and putting them in the sink, picking up their mugs of hot chocolate "How about I carry these and you try to walk by yourself? Sound good, you think you can do it?"

"I need to start somewhere to stretch my muscles back out," Taking her time, making her way to the couch settling into his lap, snuggling into his chest and taking a deep breath, "Perfect.

"So," Twining his fingers through hers, "about something from this morning. You said you don't want to submit and let someone do everything for you. Whereas I would love to be able to do everything for you, that is not why I love you, you are too independent to let anyone do everything for you. I want to do everything with you. Help you, together; I don't expect you to do everything for me."

"Thank you." Rubbing her thumb back and forth against his palm, "It is hard for me to let anyone in. I don't like seeming weak. I know, I am not but that doesn't make it any easier for me to convince myself of it when I couldn't get myself out of bed or undress myself or even vanish the puke from the floor before you came back."

"I am trying to understand that Hermione, I really am but I also want you to understand. I love you for your strength but for your weakness too." Kissing her knuckles, "Now, I want to say all of this before you start protesting. I love you. All I know is that I will never feel this way about another woman. To me you are so much more than the Brightest Witch of the Age, the Gryffindor Princess, and the Brain of the Golden Trio. To me you are just Hermione," Kissing her temple, "my Hermione. I just want you happy and healthy. I intend on making you happy for however long you deem me worthy of being with me." Sighing and resting his chin on top of her head. "I would do anything to make you smile for the rest of your life. All though I do love arguing with you some because you get all flushed and gorgeous and I can't help but want you. I love your body, your mind and your heart. Spend my days with you. Grow old with you." Whispering in her ear, "I would marry you tomorrow if you agreed to it. I love you with everything that is me."

Looking at him with shock on her face, "You would?" Her face softening as he is nodding his head, "But why? I am so broken."

"Hermione, what do you think I see when I see you?"

"I don't know I can't imagine what you see that makes you feel all of that." Dropping her head, "I just know what I see. I see a scarred, broken, shell of a woman who sometimes gets it together but most of the time is a complete mess."

Sliding around on the couch, so that she is lying on top of him, her ear against his chest, one arm around her and the other still entwined with hers. "When I see you, I see a woman who would stand by her friends and family until the end, never giving up for anything." Rubbing her arm, just above her scar, "I see a witch who only wants for everyone and every being to be treated fairly and equally. There is a pure soul within your body that strives to make everyone else happy while making yourself miserable. You are a warrior that will not give up." Running his thumb across, the scar on her cheek, "I see a young woman who at times doesn't realize her own worth." Feeling a wet warm spot on his shirt, he angles his head to see silent tears sliding off her nose and on to him, "I see someone I want to love and protect," Wrapping both arms around her, "I see so many things in you Hermione that I could go on for hours."

"I love you so much Percy that it hurts. I am so afraid that you will find someone else, someone who doesn't have such a heavy heart. Someone who can giggle and flirt and look pretty on your arm at Ministry functions, not me, I can't be all of those things for you and I can't bear that thought Percy of not being with you."

"I want to help you carry your heart and any other burdens you carry. I want you and only you," Pulling her chin up to look at him, "I don't want a simpering fool. I want someone to debate ideas with me; push me to be a better person, someone to love me. Do you realize, I was the envy of most of the wizards on New Year's Eve, there were men there who would have loved to have your attention for just one minute but you were mine? All mine. You are beautiful and will always be on my arm at functions. You are beautiful to me, even now with bedhead and red eyes and a runny nose. All I want to do is kiss you." Kissing her lightly on the lips. "You are no more broken than I am Hermione. I ran away from my family. I abandoned them because I thought that I was better than them. I came so close to losing them permanently. Before the battle, I thought that I would die without telling my Mum I loved her just one more time, I didn't think I would see my father smile at me again. Now I get to enjoy family dinners with you by my side. I don't know how I would have integrated myself back in their lives without you. I have been out drinking and joking with my brothers." Puffing his chest out a little and grinning "Not to mention I think a couple of them are jealous of our sex life."

"Percy," burying her face in his chest, "Did you really talk about our sex life with them?"

"Well, maybe a little," Blushing at her "I think Bill told anyone who would listen about the kitchen." Groaning, "Dad even told me about making sure to close the Floo, he then told me it happens from time to time. I guess Uncle Gideon walked in on him and mum right before they got married. He said he was afraid to be alone with mum's brothers for a while after that."

Giggling at the idea of Arthur being afraid of Molly's brothers, then sobering at a thought she had, children. Molly and Arthur want grandchildren. Her healer has already told her, that the chance of her carrying a baby to term was less than 5%, even with magical help and her chance of getting pregnant was even slimmer. "Percy," playing with his t-shirt, "I have something to tell you and I want you to think about the repercussions, I will understand if you need to take some time. Your parents love you kids, all your mum can talk about filling the Burrow with grandchildren," taking a deep breath, "There is very big chance I can't have kids. So I want you to think about that, I mean, can you seriously say you want to be with a woman who can't give you children?"

"That doesn't matter to me Hermione," Stopping her as she tries to protest, "I would lying if I said I hadn't thought about you having my child. Hadn't dreamt about your belly round like a beacon to everyone shouting, yes! She's mine! We created that life together! Then I just have to remind myself the war could have taken much more from you and me. I could have lost you before I even found you and I would have never known what love was like. They don't have to be half Weasley and half Granger to be ours. We can adopt if you want to, any child we raise would be ours."

"Oh Percy!" Crying harder into his chest, "That was beautiful. I don't know what to say to all of that."

Taking her hand in his and kissing her head, "Say that you want all of that with me too. I can't imagine a home without you or my life would be empty if you weren't in it." Slipping a ring on to her hand and looking at her with all of the love and tenderness in the world. "Marry me Hermione." He didn't ask it as a question, he made it a statement. Looking up into his eyes, starting to see all of what he has been telling her, he only sees her. Not any of her problems, her worries, her titles just her.

"Yes." Replying in a breathless whisper, "Of course yes!" Kissing him, "Merlin Percy, how did you? I mean when you did?" Looking down at her hand, there is gorgeous heart shaped diamond, set on a wide platinum band, simple and classic, but beautiful at the same time, just like her in Percy's mind.

"Today, I bought it today. After I was done at Charlie's, I know we haven't really talked about marriage but after seeing you the way I did. I realized together we will get through all of this. We will argue at times, we will annoy each other. We will also love each other. We will pleasure each other." Shrugging his shoulders, "I wish I could explain myself better. I just know. There is no one else that completes my heart like you do. No one knows I was asking you, so if you want to wait to tell mum, I understand."

Sitting up and looking down at him, shaking slightly, "Are you sure Percy? Because I will be honest, I couldn't take if you change your mind. So I am going to give you the chance now, if you want to think about everything I said and ask me again when you have had more time."

Sitting up with her, cupping her face with his hands, "Hermione have you ever known be to be impulsive? About anything?" Shaking her head no, "Ok, so believe me when I say, the ring maybe brand new but I have been thinking about this since right after we made love for the first time." Her eyes widening in surprise, "After you fell asleep, I sat there and watched you. I couldn't get over the beautiful gift you had given me, your love and yourself. That next week, when we barely saw each other, was the longest week of my life." Tipping her face up to his, "Look at me when I say this Hermione," with more determination in his voice than she has ever heard, "That is when I decided I wanted you to move in with me, that is when I decided I wanted to sleep next to you for the rest of my life, wanted you to be my wife."

"But you never said anything about marriage before now. Or even that it crossed your mind."

"I knew you didn't want it yet. I was happy just being by your side." Kissing her lips softly, whispering "But now, I know I want to celebrate next Christmas with you as my wife."

FLASHBACK

It is just after midnight as Hermione is escorting Ginny home after a girl's dinner out with Luna. Hermione didn't want to have anything to drink that night, so she told Ginny to go ahead and have a good time and that she did, "Oi, Harry! Get out here and help me with your drunken fiancée!"

"Keep your shorts on woman, I am coming," Calling from a back room.

"How about me Harry? Do I have to stay dressed?" Ginny is eyeing Harry as he is coming towards them, "I would very much like to be naked with you," Walking toward him slowly unbuttoning her top causing but Harry and Hermione to blush.

"Sweet Merlin Gin! At least wait until I am gone." Tossing her friends purse and cloak in the hallway closet and waving good bye at the couple, Ginny who is trying to get Harry's clothes off of him and Harry who is trying to keep her hands out of his clothes until Hermione is at least out of the door.

"Sorry Mione," Tearing himself away from his randy fiancé, Harry is blushing, "Thanks for getting Ginny home." Rolling her eyes as she shuts the door behind her, hearing Ginny squeal as Harry is probably picking her up. Deciding to first stop home and then go by Percy's, he wouldn't be expecting her but she really wants to see him. She has spent all night listening to Ginny and Luna discussing sex and is in quite a state. Percy and she had been dating two and a half months at this point in stage. They had a few hot snogging sessions on the couch, only once though involved him bring her to completion and she knew that she was ready. Wanting to change out of her plain white cotton bra and panties, not having much in the way of lingerie, she had a couple of things that the girls had given her as a gift not too long ago, Ginny told her, every girl should have a couple of pretty things in her unmentionables drawer. Showing some restraint, Ginny had given her two sets, one all black and one Gryffindor red and gold. Settling on the red and gold, she slips off her clothes and pulls on the red lace bikini bottom that has gold thread weaved into it and the sheer red bra that pushed her already ample chest up and put them on display. There was a gold bow in between her breasts and on each strap that accented everything nicely. Pulling her favorite jeans back on and a black wrap shirt, tying it at her hip, looking in the mirror, she pulls her hair out of the bun it was in and fluffs it a bit and deciding it is now or never. Flooing into Percy's apartment, "Percy?" calling out softly.

"Hermione?" Coming around the corner from the back room, "What are you doing here? I didn't think you would be over."

"Sorry, Percy I can leave if you want," Turning towards the Floo, "I shouldn't have just stopped over."

"No, no, love that is not what I meant at all. I was only working on paperwork; I was just putting everything away for the night and was going to bed." Pulling her into a hug, kissing her on the lips, taking over the kiss he initiated, stroking his tongue with her own, causing his to moan as she sucks on the end of his tongue. Her hands instinctively going for his body, one is on his hip and the other wraps under his arm and around his back. Kissing him passionately, causing his to drop his hands from her shoulders and back to her arse, pulling her tight against him.

"Would you like to join me in bed tonight?" Kissing her neck and brushing his nose over her ear.

Deciding it was now or never, whispering, "Only if we aren't sleeping." Sliding her hands under his shirt and scratching lightly down his back.

"Merlin Hermione," Crashing his lips to hers, leaning her against the doorframe snogging her senseless, one arm around her waist the other braced above her shoulder.

Breaking the kiss and ducking under his arm, walking away from him, down the hallway. Turning to him, "Come on Percy, I want you to show me a few things?" Disappearing into his room she climbs into his bed waiting for him.

Staring at the place in the hallway where his girlfriend had been, the realization dawning on him what she is implying. Entering the room to see her lying propped up on his bed, her gorgeous wild curly brown hair splayed out around her head, pointing at him with her finger and the crooking it up and motioning for him to come to her. Knowing that they will be entering uncharted waters for her, really quickly, he licks his lips making his way over to her. Thinking of all of the things he wants to do to her body, knowing she is a virgin. If that is why she came over tonight he wants to make sure she enjoys herself. Covering her petite body with his, trapping her legs in between his, "Hermione" kissing her neck, "Why did you come over tonight?" Licking her ear "Not that I am complaining," Nuzzling her neck, "I just want to make sure we understand each other."

"I want you Percy. I want you to make love to me," Taking one of his hands and placing it on the tie of her shirt, using it to slowly pull the knot undone and then letting go of his hand. Deciding she had given him the push towards what she wants.

"Hermione," laying down closer to her, running his hands over her hair and face looking into her eyes, "At any time, if you want to stop, you just say so and we will," Kissing her, "Ok?"

"Ok," nodding her head, arching her back into him, "Now Percy, touch me. I just want to feel your hands on my body."

Kissing his way from her lips down her neck, peeling away her shirt, getting a look at her bra, "Circe Hermione, that is gorgeous," The sheer material of the cup make the dark skin of her nipple stand out, drawing his thumb across it, causing it to stand at attention. Suckling on it, through the material, "Tell me do your panties match this," Nodding her head as he unbuttons her pants, slowly sliding them down her legs, leaning back on his heels, "Gods you are a goddess. I could stare at you all night." Starting at her ankle, he is placing kisses along the inside of her leg, not letting a single inch go without a kiss and caress. Nibbling on the inside of her thighs the higher he goes, lightly sucking on the spot where her leg almost meets the apex of her thighs. Causing her to moan and scratch his scalp with her nails. Smirking as he is kissing her belly, dipping his tongue into the little divot. Slowly following with his hands up over her hips sliding up the dip in her sides and coming to a stop on her ribs, his hands' waiting directly below her breasts as his attention is drawn to her perky nipples. Taking his time, drawing circles around the peaked flesh while keeping her confined to her bra. "Oh please Percy," Arching up forcing her breast into his mouth, chuckling at her impatience, "Like that love?" Biting down on her, just enough to cause her to flex her legs out and lift her hips, "Hmm, do it again," This time biting down a little harder on the other, "Sweet Circe Percy!" Tangling her hands into his curly hair, pulling him up to engage him in a kiss, "Hermione, come on sweets, let me take care of you." Pulling away and kissing her neck, "I want to make sure you feel good." Kissing down into the valley between her breasts then kissing up to and sliding the strap off her shoulder slowly sucking his way across her collarbone to the other strap, pushing it down as well, "Oh Mya, you are so delectable," continuing his path back across her chest. Starting to pull his shirt up over his head, scratching his back while doing so, "Hmm Hermione, I like it when you do that." He is lifting himself up high enough to pull the shirt the rest of the way up and over his head, deciding to use this to her advantage, pushing Percy on to his back rolling over with him.

"Wanted to see what you look like from here," straddling his stomach, slowly easing her arms out of her bra straps, leaving the article of clothing on. Leaning over to kiss him, pressing her lips against his, tracing his mouth with her tongue. She is running her hands through his hair, sliding her legs down his body to lie in between his legs. Pressing her body against his, "Percy," kissing down his neck, slithering her way further down his body is kissing his chest, sucking on his nipple, biting down lightly on him, "Is this ok?"

"Bloody hell, it is more than okay" lifting his head from the pillow to look at her stroking his stomach, kissing his chest, kneeling between his legs. Taking her face in his hands, pulling her back up to him, "You seem to know exactly what I want," kissing her "When I want it."

"What is it that you want Percy?" Looking into his eyes, searching for something.

"You and only you," Bring her down against him, sliding his hands down her back, gripping her bum, pulling her against his hardness. "See what you do to me."

"I love that I have that effect on you." Snuggling against him, drawing circles against his chest, looking up at him with more concern in her eyes, "Percy, you know, I mean, we have talked about this. I want this but it will be my first. I don't want to disappoint…"

"Stop right there, I couldn't possibly be disappointed in you." Rolling her over on to her back, "At any time you want to stop," Kissing her shoulder, "I mean any time," kissing the top of her breast sneaking his hand around her back and unclasping her bra, sliding it down her arms, tossing it across the room, "You just say so." Leaning in to suck on the bare nipple he had uncovered, arching her back and keening at the sensation, "Peerrrcy!" Smiling at that he is making her sound like that, "Come on Mya, relax and enjoy it." Latching back on and sucking, licking and nibbling at her breast and nipples while he had makes its way down to the top of her knickers. Drawing lazy circles around the sensitive area, staying on the outside of her knickers, rubbing his knuckles back and forth across the patch as he can feel her damp and heated core. "Can I?" He is looking into her eyes, as he is lifting the side of her knickers, pulling at the leg hole, not wanting to rush her but wanting to feel her wetness. Nodding her head, she is lifting her hips, surprising him by sliding them off her hips. Causing him to sit up giving her the room to remove the last article of clothing she had on. Taking in the sight below him, she is a beautiful and sexy witch. H is leaning over and kissing each and every part of her stomach, covering the horrible memories she carries with new ones. Wishing that his kisses could take that word away, knowing he would willingly spend the rest of his time with her, making her forget every bad memory. He had been planning on using his fingers to get her ready but seeing her lying there now, he is changing his mind. Slinking lower on the bed, settling so his shoulders are between her legs, tentatively leaning in and looking up at her. He is watching her, her wide eyes, her breath quickening in anticipation, his tongue darting out to swipe at her core. Her knees slamming together out of shock "Merlin!" Laughing at her reaction, "Trust me Mya, you will like this." Wrapping each arm around each of her legs, dipping his head back in again and licking her from her wet and tight hole up to her clit. Wiggling back and forth under him, causing him to change positions, this time his arms are on top of her legs, pinning them to the bed. One hand snaking up just enough to let him use his fingers to open her up, using two to split her and one moving in and out, diving back in with his mouth, licking and tonguing her. Causing her to moaning and call out incoherently, "Oh my… yes… mmm hmmm," knowing he was really doing something right when she is lacing her fingers in his hair and holding him to her slick and delicious core. Drinking up everything she is giving him, moving his hand so that he can enter her with two fingers, Merlin he thought, she was tight, so tight it was going to be painful for her regardless. Shaking his head, smiling at the sounds she was making, mewling and moaning at his fingers twisting and rubbing against her core. Using his tongue to stroke her clit as he was motioning with his fingers in the way he was told brought woman the most pleasure, her legs were tightening against his shoulders, "Oh Percy, that's it" Rising up off the bed, watching him lay between her thighs, pleasure her was enough to send her shattering in to a million pieces, crying out as she is shivering and moaning while he continues to lap up her juices. Climbing up next to her, stroking her face, turning away as she is leaning in for a kiss, "Let me cast a cleansing charm first," turning to grab his wand before he can turn to far, she is grabbing his chin bringing him back around to kiss him passionately.

"You liked how I tasted; I wanted to taste myself on you."

Groaning, "Hermione that was about the sexiest thing I have ever heard you say," Hissing in pleasure as her hand is wrapping around his engorged member. Gliding her hand up and down, slowly twisting her hand on the upward strokes, kissing his neck as she is doing so. Wrapping her arm under his, so he is cradling his body, nudging him up on top of her finally getting the hint. He is settling in between her legs, trying to keep his weight on his knees and one elbow, using the other hand to rub her neck as he is kissing her. He is feeling her hands sneaking into the back of his longue pants, grabbing his bare arse, grinding against him, trying to slide his pants down his hips. "Are you sure?" Kissing her, "We don't have to."

Leaning up to take his earlobe between her teeth, "Percival Weasley, get your pants off and make love to me!"

Chuckling at her for a minute until he saw the look on her face, a look of pure lust. Crouching up long enough to slide both his pants and boxers off and down his legs and he is coming back to her mouth. He is crushing her lips with a kiss of passion and fire. Placing a hand over her stomach, breaking the kiss long enough to mutter a contraceptive charm and a small pain relief spell. Shivering as the spell washed over her, "Sorry, I should have warned you."

Placing her finger against his lips, "Thank you," knowing because of the shiver what spells his used. The pain spell was a surprise; she didn't even think to use one of those. "I didn't think of a pain relief spell."

Kissing her neck, whispering, "Well, that spell, is supposed to help with pain but not alter any other senses, I want to make sure, you feel every wonderful part of me making love with you." Guiding himself towards her core, "This may still feel a little uncomfortable."

"I love you," nodding her head, "I can't imagine my first time being with anyone else." Grasping her hip with one hand and the other still poised to guide him within her, entering her he is trying to do so slowly. "Oh Peerrrcy," as he enters her and is fully within her, closing her eyes and smiling drunkenly, "That feels so fucking wonderful." Taken back by her curse word and how tight she really feels around his cock, he tentatively slides in and out, just once.

"Are you doing ok?"

"Um hmm, just keep doing that." Purring into his ear, licking the shell as she leans back relaxing into the bed. Rolling her hips to meet his, causing a groan from him. Slowly rocking their bodies against each other, looking into her eyes, he is brushing a curl behind her ear as she is gasping from the sensation of his slick cock pushing in to her. "Merlin Percy, faster please," asking him to pick up the speed, he leans back some pushing himself up onto his knees a bit. "Oh yeah, that is good too." Planting her feet flat on the bed, pushing her hips to meet his, dragging her nails down his body. Sliding her up to a sitting position, her back against his head board slightly, bending her torso in a u shape, changing her responsiveness, the angle now causing him to hit her cervix just right, sending little jolts of electricity all over her body. Both of them tiring and sweating, loving the feeling of being connected like they are. Feeling that coiling in her belly again, "Percy, I think I am close!" Wrapping her arms around his neck dragging her close to him, pulling her up into his lap. While he is kneeling thrusting slightly up into her, in this position they don't need a lot of movement to cause a lot of pleasure. Backing her up a little closer to the headboard, she is now resting her back against it. Positioning his knees under her bum, her legs wrapped around his waist, taking one hand from her hip and gripping onto the headboard to help him pull up into her. The bed is now shaking with the rhythm of his thrusts, kissing her neck, "Oh gods yes Percy! Right there! Um… oh… gods… yes!... Percy!" he had been trying to hold off, wanting to prolong her pleasure as much as possible. The gripping and pulsing her pussy was doing around him, sent him over the edge, pushing up into her one last time, "Hermione," growling out his name as all he could do. He is dropping down back on his back, bringing her with him, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her cheek. Laying there in the silence of his room, the only thing that could be heard was the sound of their breathing. Deciding to break the still of the room, "Thank you Percy."

"I love Hermione," Turning so they are laying face to face, his hand caressing her naked hip, "Why do you think you need to thank me?"

"Because I love you and that was a wonderfully, beautiful, enjoyable first time," Kissing his lips softly, "I loved it." Smiling at him, "Now no more talking, let's go to bed," Sitting up to lay the correct direction on the bed, "Are you going to get under the covers? Clothes are optional." Casting a silent cleansing charm over both and pulling the blanket up around her. Not needing to be told twice, he is up and under the blanket with Hermione pressing up against up before she was completely settled. Whispering sweet nothings in her ear until her breath had evened out and she drifted off into slumber. He is contemplating the witch lying with him in his bed; never in all of his years did he think he would find someone as wonderful as her, now she had given him the ultimate gift. Her innocence, he couldn't help but smile at that. While he had been with one other witch prior, she had been with several wizards before him, now he knew what his father meant by, feeling a connection with a witch when she deems you special enough to give that too. He had been so disappointed when Penny had confessed she hadn't been a virgin when they slept together. He thought she was the one. Looking back at it now, what he felt for Penny pales in comparison to what he feels for Hermione. He needs her; there is no question about it now. He needs her in his life; he wants her in his home and as his wife. Shaking his head, knowing that is a long time off. She isn't even comfortable with telling their family, while she isn't blood; she is family to the rest of the Weasley's, so it's their family. He will wait, as long as it takes, he will know when it is right, and then he will buy the ring and ask her. Until then he will just love her.

END OF FLASHBACK

"What are you thinking about Percy?"

"Oh just that night, I was terrified when you came over and I finally figured out what you were implying. I had so many emotions flying through my head that night. I wanted to sleep with you, I had actually been thinking about it for a bit but I didn't want to push you."

"Thank you again, for that night and for not pushing me." Sighing, "I am getting tired again. I hate these episodes, I wish I wasn't so tired today but I am. Do you want to watch a movie and we can snuggle while I most likely sleep?"

"Sounds good love, anything in particular you want to watch?" Walking over to the TV, "How about we watch something that has a couple of sequels, I will load up the DVD changer and we won't have to move for a bit." Picking up a 3 pack of movies, "How about this?" showing her Jurassic Park.

"Sounds good, what to pull out our big bean bag chair?" She had found one that could possibly be a bed if needed for visitors and they used it occasionally when watching TV as they can snuggle up on it and lay down if they want. She is watching him as he puts the movies in and re sizes the bean bag, offering her a hand up off the couch, settling her on the chair before summoning a blanket for both.

"I won't let you sleep out here tonight, I will make sure you get back into bed, don't worry love."

Snuggling down, "Thanks Percy," yawning and turning towards him. Relaxing, he is watching the movie and also eying the gorgeous woman, who just agreed to be his wife. Life couldn't be much better than it is right now.

Ok, so I hadn't really planned on the engagement at this point in the story but like I said, it just seemed to fit. I hope everyone liked the chapter. Keep the reviews coming, I love hearing if I am doing right by the story.
