Chapter 3

            Harry carried his wife in his arms to their front door.  They had had a wonderful honeymoon and were now walking into their beautiful home in Godric's Hollow.  Harry opened the front door and slowly put Hermione down in the hallway. 

            "I'm so happy to be home," She said. 

            "Me too," Harry replied.  Hermione took his hand and they wandered around their house. 

            "It feels so good to be finally home with you," Hermione said dreamily.             

            "Yes it does," Harry agreed kissing her lightly on the lips. 

            "Do you really have to go back to work tomorrow?" Hermione asked, putting on a frown.

            "I'm sorry," Harry said, sitting down on the couch.

            "Me too.  What will I do without you?" Hermione asked.

            "I won't be gone for long.  Just a few hours.  We don't take our next trip until September," Harry replied. 

            "And then how long will you be gone?" Hermione asked.

            "Only a week, and you can come with me," Harry said. Hermione smiled and snuggled up to him on the couch.

            "Ron your acting just like I did," Harry said, smiling at his friend.

            "I can't help it," Ron said, putting on his bow tie.

            "You'll be fine.  You love Nadine, Nadine loves you," Harry said.

            "I know, but still!" Ron complained. 

            "Ron, it's time," Arthur Weasley said opening the door a crack. 

            "Ok," Ron said, turning pale.  Ron slowly walked down the aisle waiting for the music to start.  A few minutes later Nadine came down the aisle, with Hermione holding up her veil.  Hermione smiled at Harry and took her place on the bride's side.  Ron calmed down when it was time to say their vows and kiss Nadine.  Mrs. Weasley started to cry as they walked down the aisle together.  She had already had her five other sons married, but she cried every time.  She hugged Ron during the reception and smiled happily at Nadine.  Ron looked hungrily at the roast beef on Harry's plate. 

            "Just ignore the people then," Harry joked.  Hermione poked Harry.  "Hey!"

            "Don't be silly Harry," Hermione said.  After and hour Nadine threw her bouquet, Ginny caught it.  Ginny smiled at Draco who was standing by her side. 

            "This is as good as time as any," Ginny whispered to Draco.

            "Could we please have your attention?!" Draco asked loudly.  All the eyes were turned on him and Ginny.

            "We're getting married in April!" Ginny announced.  Mrs. Weasley burst into tears again, but everyone else smiled or clapped. 

            "Congratulations!" Hermione said, hugging Ginny.  Ginny smiled and grabbed Draco's hand.  Just as Nadine and Ron left for their honeymoon the wedding was attacked.  People went running, or took out their wands.  A group of death eaters appeared out of nowhere.  Harry pushed Hermione behind him and took out his wand.  Draco did the same to Ginny as a death eater came up and lowered his hood.  It was Lucious Malfoy. 

            "You dare to marry a Weasley!" He spat. 

            "Yes father," Draco said.

            "The Dark Lord will be most unpleased," Malfoy said angrily.

            "No Dad, I don't think he cares, it's you who is most unpleased," Draco replied slowly, shielding Ginny from view.  Malfoy glared at his sun and disappeared with a small pop.  The other death eaters started shooting spells at everyone and everything.  Luckily no one died.  Harry and Draco rushed forward, shooting spells at the death eater's making them slowly back away.  They soon apparated, leaving the reception in flames.  The fire's were soon put out and Hermione rushed into Harry's arms.

            "When will the madness end?" She asked, hugging Harry tightly. 

            "When Voldemort is killed," Harry replied.

            "Why can't he be killed now?  Everyday it seems like someone dies or their home is gone," Hermione said sadly.

            "I don't know, but I hope it all ends soon," Harry said, trying to comfort her.

            " I want to go home," Hermione said. 

            "Ok," Harry said taking her hand and disappearing into their lovely home.

***

            Harry's Quidditch Team had won the World Cup for their 2nd year in a row.  Ever since Harry had joined the team, it had always done so much better.  Harry hadn't lost a single game since he was on the team.  Hermione was proud of him, but missed him terribly when he was gone for weeks on end.  He was never gone for more then 3 weeks though.  Harry came home one night to an empty house. 

            "Hermione?" Harry called.  He found a note on the fridge.

            Dear Harry,

                 Went to go help Ginny with preparations for her wedding.  Be home soon. 

            Love,

            Hermione

            Harry sighed and searched the fridge for something edible to eat.  He ended up eating a sandwich and drinking a glass of milk.  They never had alcohol in the house and less they were having a party or it was Christmas.  Hermione showed up just as Harry was finishing his sandwich.

            "Hi dear!" Hermione said kissing him on the cheek.

            "Hi, what took you so long?" Harry asked, frowning slightly.

            "We were trying on dresses for the brides maids outfits," Hermione explained, pouring herself some water.

            "Oh, well you were gone forever, it's already nine," Harry said, putting his dishes in the sink.

            "What time did you get home?" Hermione asked.

            "8:45," Harry replied.

            "Harry you've been getting home later and later every night!" Hermione complained.

            "I'm sorry, but they've been working us extra hard.  They want to win the World Cup again," Harry said. 

            "Well I want you to win it too, but it gets lonely home alone all day," Hermione said.

            "Well how about we find you a nice day job," Harry suggested.

            "I don't know if I really want to work though.  I love just keeping house," Hermione said.

            "Well how about you try it out, so you're not so lonely," Harry said.

            "I'll think about it, I have an appointment tomorrow though and the day after tomorrow is Ginny's wedding, so I don't know," Hermione replied, finishing her water.

            "What kind of appointment do you have?" Harry asked curiously.

            "Never you mind.  I'm beat, I think I'll head up to bed," Hermione replied leaving the kitchen.

            "Will you tell me tomorrow?" Harry asked, following her up the stairs.

            "Sure, when you get home from Draco's Bachelor's party," Hermione said.  Harry nodded and followed her into the room. 

            "Harry I'm really tired," Hermione said. 

            "Ok fine," Harry said and got into his pajamas.  He pulled Hermione close and fell asleep with her in his arms.
