Chapter 8: Merry Christmas

"I Love You Too" Hermione Breathed Into His Ear.

They Sat In Front Of The Fire Talking For Hours Before Slouching Up To Harry's Bed Together. A Silent Agreement Passed Between Them. They Were Going To Sleep Together While They Could, For The Holidays.

Harry Wrapped Himself Around Her Back And Snuggled Closer. Before Falling Asleep He Muttered Into Her Ear, "Night Baby". She Smiled And Said "Night".

The Next Morning They Decided That Since They Had The Common Room To Themselves, They Would Just Eat There. Hermione Told Harry What She Wanted, And He Went And Got Breakfast For Them. They Sat On Harry's Bed Talking, Laughing And Eating For A While.

Later That Day The Two Decided To Go See Hagrid, But A Sudden Blizzard Changed Their Minds.

They Decided To Stay In The Common Room For The Rest Of The Day. And They Did. They Had Much To Occupy Themselves, They made Love In The Bath Tub, Exploring Each Other Thoroughly.

Then They Had Sex On Harry's Bed, And Then Explored Each Other Further On The Common Room Couch And On Hermione's Bed. After The Latter They Collapsed, Exhausted On Hermione's Bed And Drifted Off To Sleep.

The Next Day Was Christmas Eve, And They Stayed In The Common Room For The Whole Day Again. They Ordered Their Food From The House Elves Instead Of Going To Get It. At Dinner Time They Ordered Some

Firewhiskey And Roast Pork. They Had A Romantic Candlelight Dinner. And At Exactly Midnight, Presents Appeared Under The Tree. "Merry Christmas 'Mione" Harry Said.

"Merry Christmas Harry" She Breathed Into His. He Pulled Her Close And Into A Long Soft Kiss.

When The Kiss Broke, Hermione Suggested That They Open Some Presents.

Harry Sorted The Presents And Shoved Hermione's Pile Towards Her.

"Let's See What You Got Me" She Said, Tearing Open Harry's Present. He Watched With Eagerness.

"I Hope She Likes It" He Thought. As She Opened It, She Found The Velvet Box. She Opened It, And Gasped.

Inside Was A Pure Gold Ring, With An Emerald Set Into The Center. At First, She Was Speechless. But When She Tried To Say Something, Harry Put A Finger To Her Lips. "Wait" He Said. She Nodded.

"Hermione, I Bought This Last Night. I Snuck Into Hogsmeade After You Were Asleep And Bought It, My Intentions Were…" He Stopped "What?" She Asked Eagerly.

He Opened His Mouth But Nothing Came Out. Finally He Found Courage

"Hermione Granger? Will You Marry Me?" He Blurted Out. For A Minute, She Looked Taken Aback, But Then She Threw Herself At Him. "YES!" She Squealed, Wrapping Her Arms Around His Neck.

She Pulled Back, "Of Course We'll Have To Wait Till We Graduate." She Said.

Harry Faked A Groan, Then Grinned "All Right" He Said.

"The Ring Is Beautiful Harry" She Said And Kissed Him. "Is There Anything I Can Do To Pay You Back?" She Asked. He Whispered Something Into Her Ear And She Grinned Wickedly.

Three Hours Later They Both Lay Naked, Sweaty, And Breathing Hard, In Harry's Bed.

"That Was Great 'Mione." Harry Panted. "I Love You"

"I Love You Too Harry" She Whispered Into His Ear.

Sometime Later Harry Whispered Into Hers "Merry Christmas 'Mione"

She Smiled, "Merry Christmas Harry" She Said Sleepily.

After A While, They Drifted Into A Peaceful Sleep.

(They Sleep So Much Because I Want To Pass Time)

The Next Morning, Harry Woke Up Alone In Bed. He Felt Strange, He Didn't Know What Was Wrong, And Then It Hit Him, He Was Alone. "Hermione?" He Yelled. "I'm Down Here!" He Heard Her Voice Coming From The Common Room. He Got Of Bed And Put Some Clothes On. He Went Downstairs. He Needn't Have Bothered Putting Clothes On, Hermione Hadn't. She Was Standing In Front Of The Fire, Naked. By Now, Her Pregnancy Was Starting To Show. Harry Walked Up Behind Her And Wrapped His Arms Around Her.

"What's Up?" He Asked. "They're Kicking" She Said Simply.

She Then Took His Hand And Placed It On Her Stomach. He Could Feel Tiny Thumps And Bumps.

He Smiled. He Had Two Healthy Children On The Way. He Had Gotten Over Any Anxiety About Being A Bad Father, Or What People Would Think When They Found Out. Because Eventually They Would Find Out.

They Had Agreed On Names Too, The Boy Would Be Named Mark, After Hermione's Father. And The Girl, Lily

For Harry's Mother.

"Well They're Strong" Harry Said. She Smiled.

"Why'd You Bother Putting Clothes On? No One Is Here But Us" She Said.

"I Know, I Just Don't Like Prancing Around In The Nude" He Said.

She Chuckled Lightly.

"Harry I Have A Question" She Said.

"Shoot" He Replied.

"Was Getting Married What You Were Considering The Other Day?" She Asked

He Nodded. "Actually I've Been Considering It For A While" He Said.

He Nuzzled Her Neck Gently And She Moaned. "That Feels Really Good" She Purred.

He Wrapped His Arms Around Her Middle, And She Turned Around To Face Him.

"Harry, Let's Go Back To Bed, It's Only 3:00 A.M." She Said.

He Nodded And They Walked Back Up And Curled Up On Harry's Bed.

Within Minutes, They Were Asleep.
