Chapter 8 -

Everyone was in the great hall talking. There had a nice dinner together. The students were to have dinner in the gardens because the great hall was in use. None of the students knew what was going on in the great hall due to the charms that were put on the hall.

"Well Congrats." Professor Sprout said to Remus and Hermione.

"Thanks." Hermione said.

"What the hell." Ron screeched.

"What?" Hermione asked alarmed.

"Why is that. . .that. . .grease ball kissing my sister?!?!?!?!" Ron yelled.

"Oh no." Ginny said quietly.

"It's ok Mr. Wealsey calm down." Severus said.

"I sure as hell won't calm down. You are making out with my little sister!" Ron yelled.

"Ron please calm down. Yes I am seeing Severus." Ginny said calmly.

"Ginny is correct Ron. Calm down please." Hermione said as he came over to Ron's side and put a hand on his shoulder.

"No, No, No." Ron said.

"Yes Ron stop now!" Hermione yelled.

"It's ok Hermione. It's your wedding day. Let me handle Mr. Weasley. Maybe he should get detention for defiance of authority." Severus said.

"Whatever." Ron said.

"Well then Mr. Weasley I will let your sister choose your detention time and punishment." Severus said.

"Ginny you wouldn't." Ron said.

"I will give you detention everyday for the rest of the school year if you let this slip to mom and dad or anyone." Ginny said.

"A screw you!" Ron said.

"How about everyday with myself and Filch." Severus said.

"Ok fine." Ron said in defeat.

Though the back door in the great hall Remus and Hermione went to their rooms. Remus carried Hermione into the bedroom.

That morning Hermione awoke in Remus' arms. She turned and looked at him. He was still fast asleep. She smiled at his sleeping face. She leaned near him and gave him a soft kiss. He shifted a bit and then she seen him smile at her.

"Morning Mrs. Lupin." He said with his grip not leaving from her waist.

"Good Morning Professor Lupin." Hermione said.

"mmm, you look fabulous." Remus said as he gave Hermione a kiss.

"Remus I'm naked."

"The less clothes the better."

"REMUS J. LUPIN!"

"Sorry."

There was a knock at Remus and Hermione's door. Hermione scrambled to cover herself with the bed sheet. Then she gave up and ran into the bathroom. Remus stood and put on a bath robe before opening the bedroom door. He opened the door to see Professor Dumbledore.

"Yes Professor."

"At breakfast this morning this was delivered to Hermione." Professor Dumbledore handed Remus a red envelope that Remus noticed immediately to be a howler. "She will have to open it because it will explode."

"I know headmaster. I'll get it to her." Remus said.

"Will you be leaving today." Whispered Professor Dumbledore.

"Yes, it is still a surprise for Hermione." Remus whispered.

"Well good afternoon Remus. I will see you later."

"I will see you later as well." Remus said before closing the bedroom door.

He walked over to the bathroom door and opened it. He could hear the shower running. He walked over to the shower and opened the shower door. Hermione turned to see him taking off his bathrobe.

"May I join you Mrs. Lupin?" Remus asked.

"Yes you may Mr. Lupin." Hermione said.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione and Remus sat in the living room.

"Umm Mione this came for you in the morning post. Professor Dumbledore brought it." Remus took out the red envelope. Hermione gasped and placed her hand over her mouth.

"Well I guess I have to open it." Hermione opened the red envelope and a voice yelled out.

"YOU WILL DIE MUDBLOOD, YOU WILL DIE REALLY SOON BECAUSE THE DARK LORD IS COMING AFTER YOU!!!" the screaming voice belonged to Voldemort.

"Oh my gosh!" screamed Hermione in fear.

"It's fine love. It's fine." Remus said as he held Hermione close to him. "Well to make you feel better I have a surprise for you."

"What?" Hermione asked as she looked up at him.

"Well I planned us a honeymoon."

"You did!" Hermione's face brightened up.

"Well I was thinking that we could Apperate to America and. . ."

"America!"

"Yes Mione, America and we can go to Monterey, Ca and San Francisco, Ca today."

"Today!"

"Yes Mione today."

"Well I gotta get dressed." Hermione said as she jumped out of Remus lap and ran into the room to get dressed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione came out of the bathroom about 2 hours later ready to go. Remus was also ready. He told her that he has already gotten permission from Dumbledore to take her to America for the day. They walked out the room and down the corridors.

"Well, well it's the Mudblood and her little friend." Said a dark voice.

They saw Lucius Malfoy standing in front of them.

"Hello Lucius are you joining the school's staff for Christmas." Remus said happily.

"You know why I'm here Lupin."

"Why?"

"That Mudblood had my son chucked in to Azkaban."

"That is were wizard rapist are sent Lucius."

"You know damn well that my Draco did not do anything to that Mudblood."

"YES HE DID!" screamed Hermione.

"Calm down Hermione." Remus whispered to Hermione.

"Well I have contacted friends at the Ministry and we will have to see about that Mr. And Mrs. Lupin." Lucius said.

Hermione stood completely still with her brown eyes set on Lucius Malfoy. She put her hands in her pocket and pulled out her wand slowly. She was so outraged that she could not even think of a curse or spell to use on Lucius.

Finally she pointed her wand and said, "Diffindo!"

All of a sudden the back of Lucius' pants slit open. He covered himself with his robe and ran screaming, "I will get you Mudblood!"

"That was great Hermione." Remus said in hysterical laughter.

Hermione did not way a word. There was still anger in her eyes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Once outside the Hogwarts gates Remus apperated them to San Francisco, Ca. They stood at Pier 39. The sun was out, but it was a little windy. They walked around to the little shops. Remus had brought about 700 dollars of Muggle American Money. They stopped at a small Ben and Jerry's ice cream shop and got some ice cream. After they walked to the other side of the pier to see the sea lions.

"They are so funny." Hermione giggled as she ate her ice cream.

"Opps, you got ice cream on your noise."

"Oh my." Hermione said as she whipped it away.

"I could of gotten it."

All Hermione did was giggle. Remus held her close to him as they laughed and watched the sea lions. It soon was later in the afternoon when they apparted to Monterey, Ca. Hermione had always read in Muggle books and Magazines about the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

"Oh wow look at that otter." Remus said.

"I know." Hermione said as she hugged him.

"Come on lets go see the jellyfish." Remus said excidedly.

"Wow I have never see you this excited." Hermione said as he run while holding her hand.

"Well this is fun."

"At least we get a one day honeymoon."

"Yeah it's better than nothing."

"Way better."

"I love you."

"I love you too." They stood looking at each other in the eyes and gave each other a kiss. All of a sudden people were around them clapping. Hermione giggled. They walked around aquarium for the rest of the evening. They knew that he had to get back. They had basically been out all night since on the west coast of America the time was 8 hours under where Hogwarts was.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They apparted back to the Hogwarts gates. It was about 4 in the morning. They put in invisibility spells and went back to their room. Hermione lay down on the couch motionless. Remus laugehed and went to pick her up so she could sleep on the bed.

"Watch it Lupin. Let go of the girl." Said a voice. He turned to see Ministry members surrounding him.

"What's going on?" Remus asked.

"You are having a relationship with a minor that is what's going on." Said Arthur Weasley.

"We're married." Remus said.

"YOU'RE WHAT?!?!" the Ministry was outraged.

"That's right we are married." Hermione said as she stood up next to Remus.

"Who did the ceremony?" Arthur asked.

"Professor Dumbledore." Hermione said.

"That's right I did." Dumbledore said as he walked into the room with a smile on his face.

"Well Dumbledore I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to arrest you and Professor Lupin." Arthur said as he motioned for some ministry law enforcent members to arrest Dumbledore and Remus. They went peacefully.

"Everything will be fine." Remus mouthed to Hermione as she sat in tears on the couch. She was left in the room all alone.
