Here is another chapter that I finished today when I should have been working... XD oops

Bitter-one0426- I didn't even think of thatXD!!! They were just the first names that came to mind among other ones. hehehe. I love the series to.

Spikecat- I like Lucius too, so he won't be all alone.

Sands of Patience- I really don't like Ron... can you tell? Heh. I try not to abuse him all the time, but its difficult.

JellyTot-X- Glad you like it, thanks for the compliments.

snakegirl-sprockett- Thank ya my dear for the review, I guess I didn't quite understand all the confusion that my thoughts might cause. I do not know why Ron even tries, the scene's kinda write themselves. I do love Twilight though, you are probably only the second person to recognize that. XD Anyways, training here does take about 6-8 weeks depending on the branch of service that you go in to. I just kinda sped up the process of her rising through the ranks... it would take longer then four years for her to make LT, even if she started the service with a rank that was higher then normal thanks to ROTC. I'm not entirely sure why I made them go to England to shop instead of America, except maybe that I do not know all the shops over in Carolina anymore (I now live in Florida) and it just seemed like something that they should do. They will be spending a lot more time in England by the time I am through with this story or series...I am sorry that I confused you... . when I write I often forget that some people might not think like I do and understand the references or the reasons why I do the things that I do.... Sowwy

Heidi191976, Megan Consoer, Notwritten- thank you my dears for the reviews, they made me smile. =]

Oh, be warned, there is a sexual scene in here, so read at your own risk!!

Onward with the story.

Chapter Ten:

Everyone sat in the room around the vast Christmas tree, Hermione and Harry having enlarged and duplicated more chairs and couches. Christopher was passing out four presents to each person, the new comers two each. Albus was watching the floo for signs of the last couple guests.

"Alright, ladies, you open your stuff first." The ladies in the group smiled and then began to open their presents. There were gasps of appreciation heard and all the guys watched with happiness.

Hermione's jaw dropped as she opened the necklace box from Severus. She looked at him wide eyed and her boys joked something about her actually being speechless for the first time since they met her. She flicked them off still staring at Severus in shock. Soon the ladies finished opening their presents and they smiled at the boys. Albus noticed that the floo had begun to turn green and alerted Hermione, who rose to her feet.

"Before we open anymore gifts, sorry boys, but I have a special surprise for Severus, that just arrived here." She said, noticing that Kristine, Christopher, Albus, Nikolas, and Timothy were all standing in front of the fire to block his view. He raised an uncertain eyebrow at her and she smiled. She leaned down to kiss his cheek. "Trust me." She whispered and he nodded.

"This is part of my gift to you." She said and the group moved from in front of the fire place and he actually jumped in surprise and happiness, his mother, two brothers, and sister were standing there looking at him with big smiles on their faces.

He jumped up and hurried over to his family, having been across the room, they embraced each other and laughed happily, while the Granger family and guests watched on. Draco stood and hugged Hermione.

"That was a great idea." He whispered in her ear and she smiled.

"I have one for you to my dear friend." She said before she motioned to the fireplace again, where Lucius Malfoy stood quietly, watching his old friend greeting his family. Not everyone had noticed him standing there yet, until Draco launched himself over a couple people and hugged his father. Hermione stood by and smiled and her mother came up to stand beside her.

"Good idea of inviting Lucius too dearest." She murmured and Hermione nodded. She was glad that she had made a couple people's days better just by uniting some family members. Hermione was too busy talking with Dominic and Damien to notice that both Draco and Severus were heading her way. She squealed in surprise as she felt someone pick her up and spin her in a circle before she was passed on to another person to have the same thing happen, except this person didn't let go.

"Thank you so much." Draco and Severus chorused and she nodded with a laugh.

"You guys are welcome." She said, everyone sat down and introductions ran around the room in a large circle. Lucius came and sat beside her on the couch and hugged her while Severus' hands were occupied.

"Thanks Mi" he said and she nodded at him with a smile, before handing him a present. As soon as all the presents were open, everyone sat around talking for an hour, before heading to bed. It was Christmas Eve.

Hermione magicked her pajamas on and then fell face first onto the bed. She was really exhausted today and she wasn't sure why, though she was sure that it was because of all the excitement. She magicked the braid out of her hair and just let her hair spill around her. She was glad that Lucius had accepted to come stay at the house for a couple days; she knew that Draco missed his father and that Lucius missed Draco. She was so caught up in her musing that she didn't hear the door open or close, or the foot steps that brought someone over to the bed beside where she was sprawled out face down. She missed the murmured words that changed Severus' clothes into his pajama pants, and she didn't know that he was there until he lay there beside her and pulled her into his arms.

"Holy shit Severus!" she exclaimed, slapping him lightly in the arm. "You scared the shit out of me. Do not creep up on me!" She told him and he could only smile at her, he was just too happy, his family was here, he was spending Christmas with the most amazing and beautiful girl and her family, life was good right then.

"Thank you so much." He murmured against her neck and she sighed heavily, and then smirked. He murmured a spell to extinguish the lights.

"You are welcome love. It thought it would be a nice surprise." She told him and he nodded before rearranging them so he was laying behind her, his arms pulled her close to him. She put her hands over his and laced her fingers through his, and magicked the covers over him. He kissed her shoulders a couple times and then lay still, thinking about everything that had happened. He was happy that his mother had given him a certain little box earlier that he had asked her for. It held a family heirloom, his grandmother's engagement ring that he would hold on too for when it was the right time; it was tucked away in a dresser drawer with his stuff in it.

"Can you really have a non-chaotic Christmas holiday with this many people in one house?" he whispered to her and she snickered.

"Sometimes, it depends on how rowdy people get." She told him truthfully. They had some peaceful Christmas' and then there were some rowdy ones too. Hermione thought about the Christmas' she had over the years that she could remember. She had never missed a holiday coming home, mainly because her grandfather wouldn't let her stay at the castle, no matter how mad she was at her family. Holiday's were always awesome at the Granger-Dumbledore household.

"I can't believe that you had my family come here, and Lucius too." He told her, hugging her tightly again.

"I figured it would be a nice surprise for all of you. I know that Lucius gets real lonely when Draco isn't around, and as much as he loves his father, he spends a lot of time here, with us. I didn't want him to spend the holiday by himself." She told him and he kissed her shoulder. "You seemed to really miss your family and I decided that since we have a lot of room, if they were okay with it, then they could come here for a couple of days since you said that Grandfather said you couldn't leave. I owled him and he said that it was a wonderful idea, so he would contact your family and see what they thought." She whispered. He rolled her over to face him, leaned over her, and gave her a passionate kiss.

"You are a wonderful and amazing person, my dearest Hermione." He told her when he pulled away, though their lips were still almost touching. He felt her smile up at him and he smiled at her, his eyes finally adjusted to the dark. "We ought to go to sleep though, tomorrow is bound to be a long day." He said and she nodded. She leaned up and kissed him again before he lay back down. She put her head on his shoulder and an arm over his waist and closed her eyes. This was where she wanted to be, spending Christmas with her family and the love of her life. Everything in life was good at the moment; it really couldn't get any better. This Christmas would be the best one yet.

Hermione woke up to the feeling of someone jumping on the bed. "Mia, come on, WAKE UP!" she heard the voices of Josh, Nik, and Andrea, and she groaned. She buried her face in Severus' shoulder and heard him chuckle in her ear.

"Come on, it is time to get up. Almost everyone else is awake and they are all anxious to open presents." Severus told her and she sighed. She felt him wrap his arms around her waist and pull her close and the other three left the room. She moved her face, but her eyes were still closed, she was still incredibly tired.

"I would rather stay in bed here with you and sleep." She murmured before she felt his lips against hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled into the kiss. It was a slow, lazy, passionate kiss and they pulled apart moments later.

"As much as I like the sound of that, we need to go downstairs love. We can lay around this afternoon, just you and me." He told her and she sighed. She looked up at him and nodded eventually.

"Alright, let's go, but I am holding you to that statement." She told him and he chuckled, nodding as he pulled her up from the bed. He kissed her again and after saying a spell to get the knots out of her hair, they headed downstairs to the living room area where the presents were all at, as well as most of the group.

"Why do you wear your hair braided all the time?" Severus asked her as he pulled her into his lap when they sat down on one of the sofa's.

"Do you see how long this mess is?" she asked, and he smiled at her. It reached down to her butt when it was braided, it was a little longer at the moment, her having left it down. It was soft, smooth, and wavy, the frizz having gone away in her fifth year.

"Yes I do, and I still think you look beautiful. I like your hair, especially when I can run my fingers through it." He told her and she smiled down at him, putting her arms around his neck. The last couple people finally came into the living room and Albus and Christopher stood by the tree.

"It seems that we have a ton of presents to hand out. Now, we want everyone to wait until all presents are handed out, and then the guests can open theirs first." Albus said and everyone nodded.

"The guests are those classified as the Snape family, Lucius, and Mia's boys." Christopher added and they nodded.

"What is Draco classified as?" Lucius asked Kristine curiously.

"He would be classified as a semi permanent resident, he has been with the family quite a lot." She told her friend and he nodded in understanding. It took about thirty minutes to hand out all of the presents to the large group, and the Christopher gestured for the guests to begin opening their presents. The nine boys of the group all got a new pair of combat boots, new unripped camo pants, and various other items. Severus' mother received a couple plants from Kristine, the encyclopedia on flowers from Hermione, and a beautiful bracelet from Severus, a handmade scarf from her daughter, Ibraham painted her a beautiful picture, and Semptimus bought her a few books.

Semptimus mainly got potion's texts and rare ingredients. Anderlynn received many massage things and stress relief items, and a beautiful dress from Severus. All three of them got a different book from Hermione that was signed by her as well. Severus got the G.I. Jane book from Josh, also a signed copy, a cashmere sweater or two from Lucius, a simple necklace with a Slytherin pendent with his initials engraved on the back with a short message from Hermione, a journal from Hermione, he had glanced at the written note from her on the first couple pages and would read it later, and the newest book on potion's ingredients. He gave her a tight hug and kissed her forehead and cheek a couple times. Lucius got some sweaters and jackets, a gold chain from Hermione with a note that she bought it so he could put his deceased wife's engagement ring, a new journal from Hermione and Draco, and a couple books.

"Next, would be the girls of the family, including wives and girlfriends." Albus said and they all nodded. Hermione moved to sit on the floor, but Severus stopped her.

"It is only so I can open my presents, then I will sit with you again." She told him and he nodded. He kissed her before she sat back down on the floor. The room was quiet except for the sounds of a Christmas CD and the sounds of ripping paper.

Kristine received a couple of new appliances and some books that she had been wanting, including her daughter's newest book, which was signed. She received a couple perfume bottles, some earrings and necklace from Christopher and some various odds and ends from her father. Rose received a handmade blanket, some new CD's, some books on household charms, and a new laptop. Andrea got some new clothes, a giant jacket, some concert tickets, some new books, and the latest Gaming Magazine. Hermione received a pack of four journals for her ideas, a newer laptop that wouldn't crash as much as her current one did, the keys to her new car from her boys, some new boots and camo pants, tickets to two concerts, a book or two from Lucius and Draco, and the necklace and bracelet from Severus. She was in awe of her gifts from him and she looked at him with wide eyes.

"I have something else for you later." He whispered to her as she hugged him tightly. She kissed his cheek and snuggled back into his lap, everyone watching them quietly.

DeAnne got some tickets for a trip around the world and a cruise, some new shoes, a new hat and a jersey from her favorite football team, a new book of piano songs, and a new iPod. Kain got a new stereo system for her truck, a new desktop computer, some new CD's, a website design book, and a couple cookbooks.

"Now it is time for the guys in the family and Draco." Rose, Kain, and Kristine said and the boys dug into their gifts with enthusiasm. They loved their gifts and got a kick out of the shirts that Hermione had given each of them. Christopher received a new pocket watch and a subscription to the latest Quidditch magazine from Hermione, a couple woodshop books, a couple fiction books, some new action movies, and two new fountain pens.

Opening presents took most of the day, and it was after lunch time that everyone was done. They all headed toward their room's to put their presents away and change into their clothes for the day. A couple of them were humming happily. Hermione and Severus walked into their room and Hermione skipped over to her desk to put her new presents down.

"Why did the boys get you a car?" Severus asked, wrapping his arms around her. She leaned into his embrace and smiled.

"I had a black Rodeo since I was 16, which is a type of car, and I had it until about three years ago, when the damn thing died in the middle of an intersection and ended up being in a crash. The car was totaled beyond compare, and I like being able to drive around when I need to think or when none of us feel like apparating and I see the boys, they are just muggles that happened to already know my secret when they met me in basic camp." She told him and he nodded. She turned around to face him, and he pulled her close. She put her arms around his waist and put her head against his chest.

"I have one more present for you for now." Severus said and Hermione looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He backed away from her and went over to one of his dresser drawer. She watched as he removed yet another jewelry box and walked back over to her. He opened the box and showed her the ring, it was the promise ring. She stared at him wide eyed.

"This is a promise ring, I promise that I will always be for you, always protect you, and do anything that I can to please you. I promise that I will marry you one day, and this ring is a reminder of that promise. Will you accept it?" he asked and she nodded without a word. He put the ring on her middle finger and she jumped on him to give him a hug.

((If you do not like sex scenes or are underaged, then please skip this part until the next bold, italic authors note tells you that it is okay to read!!!))

He chuckled as she kissed all over his face before pulling his face to hers for an intense kiss. She had wrapped her legs around his waist and he put his arms under her butt to support her. They kissed for a few moments before they pulled back for some air. He smiled at her before he kissed her again. She had her hands on either side of his face as their tongues dueled for dominance. He walked backward until his legs hit the bed and then he fell backward, never breaking the kiss. He heard her murmur a silencing spell and was intrigued by the thought.

Hermione straddled him and he put his hands on her sides. He pulled off his shirt and then magicked hers off of her body. She began to kiss down his chest and he couldn't bite back the moan that tore past his lips. He was beginning to become extremely turned on by the woman that was straddling him. He had never had a woman kiss his body like she was doing. She was paying attention to the noises that he was making and repeated any action that he seemed to really like. She came back up and kissed his lips and ground her hips into his, she could feel his arousal pressing into her center, they were both so turned on.

His hands began to wander up her body as she kissed his neck again and they both had forgotten that they were supposed to meet everyone downstairs for lunch in an hour. He began to fondle her breasts through her bra and she couldn't help the noises that she made. He tweaked her nipples and she moaned in his ear, causing his hips to buck up into hers. She gently bit his shoulder and he hissed in pleasure. He continued to rub his arousal against her center, trying to cause them both enough friction. He could feel her body temperature rising under his hands, he loved the noises that she made and the attention that she was giving his body.

"Gods, Mya." He gasped out, his hands grasping her sides tightly, his eyes squeezed shut as she nibbled on the side of his neck. He wanted so badly to be inside her, the thought of that alone was almost enough to make him cum right then, especially with the way that she was grinding and rubbing against him. He was so hard that it was becoming really painful for him.

"I wish…. I want…" he couldn't get the words to come out right, most of his brain being shut down by the sensations she was causing him. It felt so good, but he knew that being inside her would feel so much better. She seemed to know what he wanted as her hand snaked down to his pants. He hissed again as he felt her hand wrap around him and he moaned loudly, bucking up into her hand. He crashed his lips against hers as she continued to work his length, he moaned against her lips and whispered her name again. They had done this many times before when they were in their relationship years ago, but it never got farther then heavy petting. She worked her hand over him and smiled down at him. He was moaning quietly with his eyes locked on hers. He knew that he was close, he could feel the tightening in his stomach that spread to his groin.

"Mya." He was thrusting into her hand and he reached for her, wanting to give her some relief, he could smell how turned on she was. He pulled her close to him and put his fingers into her shorts, rubbing against her center, her panties the only barrier between his fingers and her. She moaned into his ear, there was nothing that she wanted more then for him to be inside her at the moment. With what little mental capacity she still had, she figured that they still had twenty minutes before they had to be downstairs. Once two of his fingers entered her, she groaned loudly and bucked her hips, squeezing him tighter and moving her hand faster.

Her moaning into his ear, pumping her hand faster, and squeezing him tighter sent him over the edge. He gasped, then moaned, and his eyes rolled back into his head. He pumped his fingers into her faster and harder as he came all over her hand and his stomach. As soon as his orgasm slowed, he murmured a charm to vanish his cum and then focused on the girl beside him. He rolled over so he loomed over her and pumped his hand faster, knowing when he found that spot inside her, she moaned louder. He could feel her squeezing around his fingers and knew that she was close.

"Come on Angel, cum for me please." He whispered into her ear huskily. He began to kiss and bite her neck as his thumb played with her clit. Soon enough she was squeezing his fingers as she came, her hips bucking against his fingers, her hands clenching the sheets beside her, her eyes squeezed shut, and she cried out his name. It was one of the most beautiful things that he had seen in a very long time. She lay still as she came down from her high, her eyes still closed, and her breathing slowed. She didn't see him licking his fingers clean, but he kissed her when he was done.

"I cannot wait until I am inside you." He murmured against her lips and she moaned quietly at the thought. "Come on Angel, we need to get dressed and go downstairs soon." He told her regretfully. She pulled his face down to hers so she could claim his lips and he groaned as she rubbed against him.

"I want you tonight." She told him when they pulled apart and he buried his face into her neck and groaned loudly. Her words causing him to become turned on again.

"Then tonight you will have me my beloved." He said before he kissed her neck. He reluctantly rolled off of her and got off the bed, knowing that if he stayed there over her, they wouldn't be going downstairs anytime soon. He had wanted her for so long, but he wanted to wait until she graduated, though he couldn't remember why.

((Now everyone can read again, even though its kinds at the end. Sorry about that))

He stood up and conjured on some nice clothes in place of his sleeping pants he brushed his hair, trying to get himself under control. He felt Hermione kiss his neck before sauntering over to the closet to find herself some clothes. After they were dressed and presentable, with no trace of their activities, they made their way downstairs, his hand holding hers tightly. He kissed the top of her head before they walked into the kitchen for lunch. Not everyone had arrived yet, so Hermione and Severus sat down at their spots and spoke with the few people that were there.

Did you guys like it? I have never really written a scene like that before, but if you think it is any good, then I would like to know. Anywho, the next chapter is almost done.
