Chapter 4
A/N: I haven't forgotten this story. I hit some major writer's block. I am still writing this out by hand before typing it on the computer. Everyone has to forgive the author since she does have school and a really close friend in the Army. Also, I'd like to thank everybody for the beta offers. I am just going to go through and not email it to anyone to proof, so if you catch a mistake leave it in a review.
Disclaimer: I just want to play with them. Is that a crime?

"I wonder," Ron said as he put another bite of food in his mouth. "What Hermione is doing right now since she doesn't have to attend class today."
"Relax, Ron, she's fine."

"Severus, repeat this after me. 'I, Severus, take thee Hermione Marie Granger to be my wife in sickness and in health, for better or worse, for richer or poorer until eternity has come.'"
"I, Severus, take thee Hermione Marie Granger to be my wife in sickness and in health, for better or worse, for richer or poorer until eternity has come."
Now Hermione, your turn. 'I, Hermione, take thee Severus Michael Snape to be my husband in sickness and in health, for better or worse, for richer or poorer until eternity has come.'"
"I, Hermione, take thee Severus Michael Snape to be my husband in sickness and in health, for better or worse, for richer or poorer until eternity has come."
"May I have the rings. Life is a big circle, never ending. Severus, place this ring on her finger and say, 'From this day forward may this ring always stay on your finger.'"
"From this day forward may this ring always stay on your finger." Severus repeated as he placed the the ring on Hermione's finger.
"Hermione, you will do the same. 'From this day forward may this ring always stay on your finger.'"
"From this day forward may this ring always stay on your finger." as she proceeded to place the ring on his finger.
"You may kiss the bride." Being told that, Severus kissed Hermione, spun her around, then kissed her again.
"Hermione, I need to cast a charm on your rings that way we still have a secret. Hold out your hand. THis spell will make it so that only those that we have told will see our rings."
"I understand, Severus. Will my parents still be able to see the rings?"
"Yes, since they witnessed the wedding. Now, part of our story is that you are going to be a potion's apprentice to me and you needed to get more advanced potions ingredients and also apprentice robes. Madame Malkins is already working on the robes and you will receive everything in the morning. I believe that you need to talk to your professors about the classes you missed. Shall we head back home?"
"I suppose that if we must, we must. Let me say bye to my parents. I'll let them know about the floo powder I left at home on the mantle. Should they floo your quarters, after all you are my husband, to get a hold of me in an emergency?"
"Yes, that will be fine."
"Mom, dad, there is on the mantle at home a small jar with a powder in it. If there is an emergency, take a pinch of powder, throwit onto the flames of the fireplace, say loudly 'Hogwart's potion master's quarters' and stick your head in. We'll make sure you know how to use the powder Friday. I love you both and hopefully the next time I see you will be at Christmas when we join you for dinner. Remember to write me." Hermione said before hugging her parents.
"My dear, we need to go," Severus came up and took her hand. "Our code will now be done with our left hands. Oh, and we need to act as we normally do in public. Once we reach Diagon Alley we'll apparate to the edge of the grounds." After a few more hugs and handshakes Severus and hermione started their trek home.
"Severus, I hope you realize that we have to get to the other side of town in order to reach Diagon Alley. We could go back to that park and leave from there."
"We could I suppose. Promise me that no one will find out we are married until we both agree. Lead the way to the park."
"This grove is like the Room of Requirement back home. Right now we need a place that people cannot see or hear us in." she closed her eyes for a moment. "There, that should let us apparate. As soon as we are gone, it will go back to how it was before we used it."
"Where is the Room of Requirement? I know of most places for couples but, not that one."
"I'll show you sometime. I thought you were the one who wanted to leave. Or, are we going to run away and never come back, Mr. Snape."
"Hmmm, this is interesting, Very interesting. If we ran away, where would we run to, Mrs. Snape?"
"Fine, we'll go home but the summer is when we will run away." Hemione pulled him closer by wrapping her arms around him. Severus then thought about where thay apparated from. "We better start wlaking back up to the castle. you make sure you are at dinner before me. Hold on, we have to make it seem like I'm trudging along behind. Walk faster, Severus."

Harry walked over to the window. "Ron, Ginny, come here for a second, will ya. Where would Hermione go with Snape? There has to be a reason and I think we are not going to like it."
"Like what, Harry?"

A/N: Another cliffie. The rings Hermione is wearing can be found at the link in my profile. I'll try to have the next chappie up asap. Relax because I will explain every thing in due time.
