Disclaimer: Unfortunately no, but that honour does reside with the queen of literature JK Rowling!

A/N: Oooh thanks for the reviews, I love you all. Now to clear up a little problem for the first reviewers, No I didn't mention that Hermione's dad died in the first week because of a specific reason which will be in these coming chapters! But I did forget to add in a sentence so yes I was a bit sloppy, lol ; ). Nobody has called me that and for that I am eternally grateful. (Oh by the way I was looking at my profile page today and I had accidentally written I'm homophobic instead of I'm not homophobic, last time I check the not still hadn't shown up. if you read my profile page you'll see why that is written under couples I do NOT support.) There will be bits of fluff in this chapter but it is well needed fluff.

My shouts are for:

charmed piper: You were first to review so thanks for that and to answer your question because I'm not sure if you got my reply to that when I was reviewing your story that I didn't actually write them I got it off this website for vows on ancient binding, it wasn't the full thing though. I haven't actually posted the website though because of people that steal and I really don't want toe end up getting my account frozen because someone takes the vows and claims I copied them, but if you really want the website I'll probably give it to you.

Really-A-Dopey-1: Love the screen name, it cracked me right up! Thank you by the way for the review I was so happy when I read it.

Princess Of Rivendell: I always get so happy when I read your reviews they are always so nice! I'm really glad you think so about my story.

mysticdarkraven: Thank you I'm glad you loved the wedding. Great review as always ; ).

Aries1: Thank you I'm glad you think so, by the way are you really an Aries because I am an Aries and if you are we have something in common ; )

softballqueen1355: First of all thank you (times 2) because you reviewed to chapters. I LOVE Linkin Park. And I wrote the answer to your question at the top to your question about her parents being dead. I also went back and corrected the story to insert a sentence that I forgot to do and thank to you for noticing I could make that correction. In the recap It has something corrected so you'll find out that only her dad is dead and she never thought her mum would come because it resulted in her going into hiding but I never really did that in the past chapters and it will be explained in the upcoming chapters. Thank you soooo much for pointing it out and I'm sorry for the confusion.

Chainmailgirl: Thank you for the BRILLIANT review runs away to shed the tears of happiness threatening to fall I'm glad you liked the wedding.

Recap:

"Of course he is and I suppose Remus is to yours?" Answered Hermione equally as mischievous. "Who's going to walk me down the isle with dad ..." Said Hermione unhappily angry that she could have forgotten, the meeting she had earlier that week had been painful, her father was murdered and her mother in hiding.

"That would be me Hermione!" Said a cheerful voice.

"Mr Weasley?" Said Hermione happily.

"Isn't that your queue?" Asked Mr Weasley taking her arm.

"I believe it is." Said Hermione walking with him down the aisle, stopping when she got to Severus and Dumbledore.

A/N: (Cut this part out so it wouldn't be long.)

At this Dumbledore made to bind their hands in the traditional manner.

"With this binding I tie you, heart to heart, together as one. With this knot you are joined in sacred union. May you be blessed you with health and prosperity!" Said Dumbledore.

"May neither take advantage of the other. For remember what one may not provide, the other may!" Dumbledore placed the wedding rings on Severus and Hermione's fingers.

"Your Vows have now been heard by all. These rings, like your vows, are without beginning or end. Now placed, they represent a seal of your love and respect for each other." Dumbledore offered a chalice to the couple to drink form.

"This is your first drink together as man and wife. May you never thirst."

Dumbledore than gave them bread to eat from. "This is your first food together as man and wife. May you never hunger."

Dumbledore positioned the besom and sword to prepare them to jump. "This will be your first act of working together as Husband and Wife. May the sword cut all ties with the old and the besom sweep them away."

Dumbledore led them both to the broom and sword so they could jump. Dumbledore removed the binding and held it overhead "I present to you Lord Severus Snape and his wife Lady Hermione Snape." Said Dumbledore.

"Oh yes and as muggles do this so shall Severus and Hermione, Severus you may now kiss the bride." Said Dumbledore happily.

Severus moved forward and immediately engaged Hermione in their first kiss as husband and wife.

People came forward to congratulate the pair and in Fred and George's case threaten Severus who did not look amused.

"Hermione, my baby! I'm glad to see you." Hermione turned around recognising the voice, this would be uncomfortable but she wanted to see her!

Chapter 15.

"Mum!" Said Hermione happily, embracing her mother. "I've missed you so much."

"I'm sorry I couldn't come after it hap..." Said Mrs. Granger unable to complete the sentence. "Myself and Professor Dumbledore discussed it and we came to the conclusion that you were better off this week without having to go over his murder. Of course we told you but Professor Dumbledore put a spell on you so it would remain in your memory but in the back of your thoughts. Of course the spell was only for this week."

"I know mum there is no need to explain, I know I consented. I remembered the meeting just before the binding when I realised there was no one to walk me down the aisle." Said Hermione sadly. "But Mr. Weasley has always been like a second father, he reminded me of dad so much." Said Hermione.

"He is a lovely man, Molly Weasley has been staying with me this week and she has been very helpful, without her this week I would have fallen apart." Said Mrs. Granger. Hermione felt a great surge of appreciation towards Mrs Weasley, her mother was never as strong as Hermione when it came to tragedy's and before it was her father that helped her through.

"Hermione, I know this has upset you and I know being the tower of strength your are you'll learn to deal with this eventually but I don't want you to feel guilty when you get on with your life, remember your father would have wanted you to do so. When your headmaster sent us the owl explaining what had happened your father at first wanted to kill Severus but deep down he was proud of you! He has always been so! I know he wanted you to know this." Said Mrs Granger seriously.

"I know mum and I love him very much, I'm glad an order member got there to save at least one of you, I can't cope with two tragedies at once." Said Hermione tearfully hugging her mother once more.

"Hermione I'm also very proud of you and no matter what happens I always will be and I will always love you! Look around you Hermione you have a beautiful home which I understand is one of many, wonderful friends, and family, you have me and now you have a husband. Now go to your husband and make me even prouder." Said Mrs granger finally with her first true smile in days. Hermione kissed her mother on the cheek and went over to Severus.

"How are you feeling Hermione? I'm sorry you had to deal with that today." Said Severus with obvious sadness for his wife.

"I was upset which is expected and I am still upset that my father was taken from me but I know my dad was content and I know he would want me it get on with my life and after speaking to my mother I'm grateful for what I still have." Said Hermione truthfully.

"I'm glad Hermione, remember you have me now." Said Snape kissing her forehead.

12 a.m. Waiting for the results for the elections.

"I have just been informed of the results for the elections of Minister For Magic." Said Dumbledore to the crowd. "The wizarding community of Britain has decided that Arthur Weasley is the best choice and has one with 72 of the votes!" Announced Dumbledore happily to the cheering wedding party. "Arthur would you like to say something?"

"Yes I think I do. All I can say is that I am extremely delighted and thank you to everyone of voting age that voted for me. I will try my hardest to make a change in the laws that we do not approve of. I will try my best to exterminate the prejudice that resides in our world. I think I'm needed to address our kind on the wizarding wireless and I'll be back." Said Arthur. The excitement and jubilance was obviously not going to evaporate in a hurry and Harry, Mrs Weasley had tears in her eyes and Hermione could not help but beam, she knew Mr Weasley would try his best and maybe he could stamp out quite a lot of prejudice.

"Would you like to retire for the evening? You won't be getting a honeymoon due to school but you will have a holiday tomorrow anyway because of the elections, It'll be a public holiday." Said Snape.

"I believe I will and tomorrow I would like to explore Palais de sérénit." Laughed Hermione.

Severus stepped forward to announce their departure. "Thank you all for coming here today to honour My wife and myself on our wedding day, I hope you have enjoyed the day. Hermione and I would like to retire for the night, (Harry, Ron, Draco, Fred and George all whooped and cheered at this and even some whistles could be heard emitting from the twins only to result in Hermione blushing.) feel free to explore the house, safety wards are set up everywhere so do not feel in danger. The grounds however should not be explored until tomorrow morning and I recommend not going on your own. You will be shown to your rooms by Tipsy (a house elf appeared) and I hope you enjoy your stay." Said Severus.

Hermione was looking into the grounds, everything seemed so magical, the bushes were lit up and the stars and moon shone over the grounds giving everything a mystical glow. This was hers, she would be staring a family soon and they'd spend summers playing in the grounds.

"Drink, Hermione?" Asked Severus.

"I don't drink, It tore my uncles family apart and I don't touch the stuff I find it unnecessary and vulgar." Said Hermione this like spew was obviously something she felt passionately about. "My uncles wife was an alcoholic she did things under the influence of it that tore my uncle apart. My cousin is still in therapy because of it."

"I understand, I'm sorry I never knew." Said Severus apologetically thinking back to his own childhood when his father would drink himself silly and lash out on his mother.

"It's alright Severus I know you didn't know." Said Hermione moving into the light, she was no longer in her wedding dress but a slinky black satin nighty. Severus immediately stepped forward to pull her closely to him. Hermione began to remove his robes whilst Severus pushed her gracefully onto the bed stroking her hair breathing in her scent. Hermione was of course shakily removing his clothing because of her inexperience and state of nervousness. Losing your virginity was of course a big step but than again o was marriage, he was her husband and she knew he loved her. He had of course waited even though she knew he would not have said no if she had offered, but her belief was sex was special and the key word in making love of course was love. She didn't need to be told by her mother that it was special she knew, if a boy (or man in Severus's case) told you he loved you and meant it than obviously he loved you enough to wait. Hermione had always promised herself that he would have to marry her first because to her that was the ultimate test of love and now she was minutes away from it and it would be special because he was the man she loved.

"Hermione - I - love - you." Said Snape in between the trail of kisses he was leaving on Hermione's neck. Removing her nighty and lingerie underneath he began to feel and bite and kiss. Hermione moaned with pleasure and captured his mouth exploring every millimetre of it she wanted to make him feel the way she was feeling and so she did as he was making him moan even more wistfully than she had done. One hand in his hair fingering the strands and the other exploring his body resting only when she reached his private region, noticing that his bulge was ever growing. Hermione traced her finger around it whilst Severus was planting kisses on her nipples. Each moaning louder every time. "Ready Hermione?"Asked Severus unable to control his desire any longer.

"Ye-e-es." Moaned Hermione.

"Good, I want to hear you moan and shriek with happiness and know that nobody can here you because of the silencing charms around the rooms in this house and the fact that this room is further away from any other person in this house, it might hurt a bit." Said Severus, drawing himself on top of Hermione properly. As if in an instant he had inserted his bulge inside her feeling what had been denied to him for a painful time period but for her he would wait. Hermione was rocking her hips against his faster and faster urging it to happen, with each rock new moans and shrieks enough to make Severus loose it completely his excitement was uncontrollable. And than it did, the blast of such a pleasurable sensation sending Hermione's mind into oblivion, it had been done and each were trying to gain control over their minds, each of their hearts racing and breathing serrated and uneven. Slowly he removed himself from her and sunk into the bed beside her, gazing at her. Hermione moved closely into his arms accpeting one last kiss before closing her eyes, both oblivious to the fact that in a box in the drawer a certain silver locket with a serpent and a rose with thorns glowed a bright red as the blood had been released.

Faraway infront of a fireplace sat Voldemort laughing to himself. "It has been done, Severus shall indeed be awarded Nagini."
A/N: I hope you liked it.
