See, meet a few even. She was the god mother to one of your Grandmothers."

"This is really weird." Harry said, scratching his head.

"My boy. I have had a thousand years to think all this through. Yes, it's very weird."

Salazar sat back in the Great Hall, watching Hermione who was stood with the other women of the castle. She was dressed in a on a red dress with gold line and ribbons lacing up the dress. His fingers playing across the small wooden box resting in his pocket; he smiled.

"My friend, when are you going to ask her?" William Potter asked, taking a seat by Salazar.

"Christmas eve." Salazar turned to William, his vision resting on one person in particular, "When are you going to make you intentions clear to her?" Salazar pointed out the women by Hermione's side.

William frowned slightly, "Salazar, I won't be staying here. Why make my intentions known only to leave? I would hate to know I ever hurt her."

Salazar tore his eyes away from Hermione again to look back at William. "And if you could stay?"

William sighed. "Then I would make my feelings known."

"Well, how do you feel about teaching?"

"What?"

"Benett from History of Magic has informed me that he will be leaving. So what do you say?" Salazar asked, leaning back in his chair.

"I'd say I have a woman to speak with."

Salazar watched William stand from the table to make his way across the room to the woman with chocolate brown hair and big blue eyes. William leaned down, whispering his news in her ear. Salazar chuckled as Aurora let out a squeal of delight, throwing her arms around him. The couple walked from the hall, sliding their hands into one another's.

"I take it he's staying?" Hermione asked, coming to stand by Salazar and resting her hand on his shoulder.

"Yes," he told her simply.

"Can we go to your rooms?" she asked after leaning down to whisper in his ear.

Salazar rose but gave her a questioning look. Hermione took him by the hand, leading him out of the Great Hall and into the corridor. He dutifully followed as she led him to his rooms. Once they were inside, Hermione stood in front of him and slid his coat off his shoulders, letting it hit the floor.

"Hermione? Love, what are you doing?" Salazar asked as she led him backwards to the bed. Hermione pushed him down onto the mattress and lay her slender frame on top of him.

She looked at him with lust and passion filling her eyes. "Well, I figured that would be obvious," she murmured, connecting her lips to his neck.

Salazar felt himself quickly growing hard from Hermione's soft lips finding the sensitive spots on his neck. "I thought you wanted to wait?" he asked, fighting to hold onto his self-control.

Hermione paused and sat up to look down at him. "I really thought I did, but I love you, Salazar. I haven't loved anyone more. After surviving a war an Armand, I don't want to take anything for granted, especially not you."

Salazar sat up, pulling Hermione against him so she could feel his hardness pressing at her through her dress. "Tell me what you want."

"You. Salazar, I want you."

Salazar began running his hands up the back of her dress, untying the ribbons that laced it together and pulling it open. Pulling the dress off, he threw it to the floor and looked back at her. Hermione flushed and tried to cover herself, but he gently grabbed her hands. "You never have to cover yourself in front of me. I love everything about you," Salazar reassured, placing a kiss on each of her hands.

Hermione relaxed her hands and grabbed at the hem of Salazar's shirt, pulling it over his head. Running her hands down his bare chest, her eyes drifted lower to find a trail of black hair that disappeared into the waistband of his pants. Before Hermione could continue her perusal, Salazar grabbed her wrists, flipped her onto her back and positioned himself above her, rubbing his fingertips over her breasts before trailing them slowly down her stomach, carefully inching his fingers between her legs.

He could feel how wet she already was. Moving his fingers around her slick opening he moved higher to tease her clit, thoroughly enjoying the moans he easily pulled from her as a result of his handy work. Slowly sliding in a single finger into Hermione's body he felt exactly how tight she was, easily seeking out proof of her virginity. He groaned in pleasure knowing what lie ahead. Moving his fingers in and out of her, he lowered his mouth to her breast and latched onto a nipple, licking and sucking. Hermione called out his name and began trembling as he added another finger.

"Sal... I—" Hermione stammered as the two digits pressed and rubbed against her sensitive walls.

"Stop thinking and just feel," Salazar told her huskily, his eyes meeting hers. "I know what's coming. Come for me."

As the words left his mouth he felt Hermione's snug walls clamp down around his fingers. He smirked as a flush of read spread across her cheeks. Moving to cover her body with his body, Salazar watched as her brown eyes fluttered open, a glazed-over look in them. "Want more, love?"

Hermione slowly nodded as she reached down to untie his pants, sliding them down his hips and letting his manhood spring forward. Lifting her head slightly, she caught sight of his erection and her eyes widened at his size. Salazar smirked, brushing his lips against hers before kissing her soundly.

"Are you ready?" he asked, moving one hand between them to position himself at her opening.

"Yes," she said huskily.

"It will hurt at first," he warned, slowly pushing inside her. Hermione merely nodded and closed her eyes.

He stopped feeling himself hit her barrier . Placing another kiss to her lips, he pushed forward, swiftly tearing through her barrier. Hermione let out a hiss of pain, digging her nails into his back. She was tense from head to toe, and Salazar waited for her to relax. She was tight around him and it was hard to keep from moving, as she felt amazing.

"Move, please." Hermione finally whispered, opening her eyes and looking up at him.

Salazar pulled back slowly. "Anything you want," he said before gently thrusting back into her.

On the first full stroke, Hermione let out a soft cry and arched her back, her fingers continuing to dig into Salazar's skin as she clamored for him to keep going. Gradually the pace and strength of his thrusts increased, and Hermione's body soon matched his rhythm.

The little witch moaned in earnest, her curls becoming disheveled as her head thrashed against the bed. She almost forgot that Salazar's face was close to her until their lips touched. Salazar drank in her moans, desperately trying to hold off his own release as Hermione's body gripped and pulsated around him. Torn between wanting to feel Hermione coming apart again, as well as needing relief of his own, Salazar continued plunging deep inside his witch, instinctively knowing that she was moments away from reaching her second climax.

Without warning, Hermione's moans culminated to a high pitch, frantically rolling her hips against Salazar's and begging him to keep going. His voice was silky and encouraging at her ear, and when Hermione heard Salazar telling her to come for him again, her composure broke almost instantly.

It was too much for the wizard to handle, as Hermione's orgasm immediately triggered his. Groaning into her hair, Salazar felt as if his seed had been literally milked from his body, with the way Hermione's walls continuously throbbed and clamped down on him. Salazar rolled onto his back pulling Hermione to his chest holding her as close as possible.

"I love you Salazar." Hermione whispered as her breathing evened out falling asleep in his arms. Salazar lay in bed with the sheets laying across his hips, Hermione laying across his chest, fast asleep. He wanted Christmas eve to be here already, desperately wanting to make Hermione his wife. "I love you too my Hermione."

Hermione stirred opening her eyes seeing the room dark except for the fire that's was roaring in the fire place.

"Sleeping beauty finally awakens." Salazar spoke playing with her hair.

Hermione chuckled rolling over to look up at him. As she turned she let out a small hiss of pain.

"Sore?" Salazar ask.

"Yes." Hermione said running her fingers over his arms. "How long have I been sleeping?"

"A while."

"Salazar, was i-. Was it okay?" Hermione asked meekly.

Salazar pulled Hermione pull looking her in the eyes. "You were perfect. I love the idea knowing I am the only one who has ever touched you." He told her. "I will be the only one if I have my way." He thought to himself.

"Hermione Tell me of your friend from you time. I have never even asked anything."

"Well I have told you of Harry and Ron about the war. The other three were men that fought in the war alongside me. The first was Remus Lupin. He's a werewolf one the nicest men I have ever met. He was always the calm one while everyone else was freaking out."

"You spent time with a werewolf?" Salazar asked cautiously.

"Yep." Hermione said simply.

"Okay." He said trusting her judgment.

"Sirius Black was another. He was Harry's godfather best friends with his father and mother. He has a terrible temper; fun to debate with along with Remus."

"What about the last one?"

"I can tell you late I don't think it's a good conversation after we just did- that." Hermione said.

"No I asked. I want to know. You had a life before you come here. I can't hold anything against you." Salazar running his hands along her back.

Hermione sighed, "His name was Severus Snape. He was my professor and a spy during the war. Severus almost dies in the war. He recovered and come back to teach before the school year started we formed a friendship we started having feelings for one another but he was my professor so-." Hermione looked up at Salazar trying to read his face before he looked down.

"I am not mad just listening continue."

"Well that's pretty much it. It could never go away where with the situation. I have five men that were my best friends."

"Did you ever spend time with women?" Salazar asked with a chuckle.

"One Ginny Ron's sister. I was never the normal girly girl. I always preferred a book to flirting with boys."

Salazar chuckled again sitting up, "Let's take a bath." Taking Hermione in his arms they went in bathroom closing the door.

Christmas eve day come quickly the students had gone home and the castle was quite. Even though Hermione loved her students the quietness was relaxing. Hermione slipped on a black split-front hooded dress. Green filled in the split while silver ribbons laced up the back going to meet Rowena. Salazar hadn't been in the castle for most of the day.

"Happy Christmas Rowena, Aurora." Hermione said meeting the two women on the staircase.

"Happy Christmas Hermione." They said together.

"Do either of you know where Salazar has been?"

"Nope."

"Haven't seen him." They said with sly smiles.

"You are both terrible liars." Hermione drawled playful.

"And you Hermione are becoming too much like Salazar." Rowena said linking arms with the girl starting down the stair case.

"Hermione, now no need to ruin surprises. It's Christmas eve." Aurora said smiling.

Hermione scoffed, "I really hate surprises." She said turning into the great hall. The fire place roared lighting the room. The tree set off the side twinkling with charms. Gifts laying beneath it. Some teachers stayed behind not going home come to the dinner enjoying their Christmas eve. Hermione's eyes looked around the room instantly finding Salazar in conversation with Godric, William and Helga. Salazar wore black pants, boots, and a green shirt. She had to admit her wizard was handsome and he was hers.

Salazar turned feeling eyes on him he turned finding Hermione watching him. She was dressed in his colors it's made a smile come on his face.

Hermione glided over to Salazar sliding her arm in his pressing a kiss to his cheek. "Happy Christmas."

"Happy Christmas love."

"Well now that the lollygaggers are here we can eat!" Godric's voice boomed followed with laughter.

The group set at the table enjoying the food, warmth, and one another's company. After supper they retired sitting around the tree the men with their whiskey and women with their wine. Salazar set him glass down standing up he ushered Hermione in the middle of their group of friends. Hermione stood in front of him looking a little confused.

"The first day I met you I honestly couldn't wait for you to leave because every time we spoke it either led to glare, argument, or slight disagreement." Salazar said with a smirk.

Godric snorted which quickly turned into a cough, "Sorry throats dry please continue."

Salazar rolled his eyes looking back at Hermione. "You have such a fire in you a passion about- well about everything. You have a gift of see things in other people that they can't see in themselves. In the year you have been here Hermione you have changed me. Made me a better man, Someone I know my mother would actually be proud to see." Salazar stepped back bending down on one knee holding a Small wooden box in his hand popping it open. Revealing a Silver ring with Celtic designs running along the bands a princess cut diamond and an emerald on each side. Hermione's eyes widened at the ring.

"Hermione I Love you more than anything in this world. Will please become my wife?"

Salazar watched hermione's eyes fill with tear before nodding her head not being able to speak. Hermione through her arms around him as he stood up. Salazar stepped back pulling the ring from the box sliding it on her finger watching it magically change to fit her finger. He held her hand playing with the ring. "This was my mother's ring. She was Celtic hence the designs down the side. She meant the world to me so seeing it on the hand of the woman I love-." Salazar's words were cut off as Hermione pressed a kiss to his lips.

"I am honored to wear you mothers ring." Hermione whispered to him as the heard the room clapping. Hermione looked over to Rowena, Aurora, and Helga each having tears in their eyes.

"Rowena I am glad you didn't tell me." Hermione laughed through tears.

Rowena come wrapping Hermione in a hug, "Me too. It's been very hard to hold this secret in. I am so happy for both of you. You deserve one another." The room finished their congratulations before sitting back down and handing out one another's gifts.

. "Since you're about to be Lady Slytherin. I got you one more thing I had made." Salazar said handing her a box with thin silver inlay border and snap closure. Undoing the clasp the box opened revealing what laid inside.

The Locket of Slytherin.
