Part Seven: Your Body Is A Wonderland

[author's note: this chapter has non-graphic sex scenes in it. read with caution.]

We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue

Ron carried Hermione into The Hollow that night, drowsy from exhaustion and wine. They locked the door and climbed the stairs to their bedroom. Hermione stumbled into the bathroom and pulled her nightgown over her head. Ron walked in, wearing pajamas and a happy, but sleepy look. They grabbed toothbrushes and brushed their teeth before climbing into bed. Hermione shut off the light before snuggling under the covers next to Ron. "I love you," he whispered, pulling her close to him. Hermione smiled sleepily and moved closer to him. "I love you, too." Ron ran his hands gently through her hair and kissed her. His hands fumbled for her nightgown and slipped it over her head. "You're beautiful," he said softly, eyes flickering up and down her body. Hermione blushed slightly and Ron shed his pajamas. Their lips met in another sweet kiss. His hands ran down her arms, sending chills up and down her spine. Hermione closed her eyes for a second then opened them again, glad this wasn't a dream. "Mione..." he said huskily, running his hands through her hair again.

'Cause if you want love
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland

Ron proved his undying love to Hermione by making love to her. Hermione had never felt anything as wonderful as being with Ron. Afterwards, Hermione climbed out of bed and stumbled into the bathroom to put her nightgown back on. She ran a brush through her messy hair and went back to bed. Ron slid her arms around her waist when she got back into bed. He watched her until she fell asleep, a beautiful heaven sent angel.

Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

Hermione awoke the next morning to Ron watching her. "Hmm? What's wrong?" Ron smiled and kissed her. "Just watching you sleep, love. You're so beautiful and peaceful." Hermione smiled and pushed a lock of hair out of her eyes. "Breakfast?" she said to him. He nodded and they headed downstairs into the kitchen to eat.

You want love?
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland

Ron watched her eat, her soft lips and her mussed hair making her look more desirable than ever. After breakfast, they went into the living room to watch TV, one of the few Muggle items in the house. They curled up under a blanket and made a roaring fire in the fireplace. "Ooh, I wouldn't fancy being outside now." Hermione glanced out the window to see sheets of rain pouring down. She rested her head on Ron's chest, listening to his heart beat. Ron cupped her chin in his hand and kissed her. "I love you..." Hermione kissed him back, running her hands through his hair, then massaging the back of his neck with her nails. There was a sharp knock at the front door that made Ron curse. "I'll get it." He glanced down and saw he was still in pajamas. "Oh well..." he grumbled and headed into the hall. "Oh, hey, Harry. Hey Sirius." Sirius and Harry had come for a visit. Hermione scowled slightly. "Nice timing," she muttered under her breath. Ron marched back into the room, frowning slightly. Sirius and Harry looked from Ron to Hermione with curious looks. "Did we...come at a bad time?" said Harry with a wicked grin, noticing Ron's messy hair and the fact they were both still in pajamas. Ron's face turned tomato red. "Er..." he stuttered. Sirius held up a hand. "Say no more. We just wanted to drop off your wedding gifts. You seemed to have left for more...er, important things too quickly after the wedding." His eyes twinkled. Hermione started to blush as well. "Thank you, Harry, Sirius." Ron thanked them as well and they Disapparated. Ron grinned at Hermione. "Now where were we?"

Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland

"God, you're beautiful," mumured Ron for the hundredth time. He nuzzled Hermione's neck and planted little kisses around her collarbone. Hermione shivered slightly. "Mmm, you're not too bad yourself, Ron," she grinned at him. Ron chuckled and kissed her again. "Shall we get dressed and have dinner?" Ron nodded and got up, following Hermione to their bedroom. Hermione slipped on a pair of jeans and cotton v-neck sweater. Ron pulled on jeans and one of his many Weasley sweaters. They headed into the kitchen for a light dinner of soup and salad, then curled up to watch the Muggle show 'The Simpsons' that Ron now adored. Hermione fell asleep halfway through the show and at the end, Ron carried her upstairs and slipped her nightgown on her before putting on his own pajamas. He lay her head on her pillows before slipping under the covers and falling fast asleep next to his wife.
