Chapter Twenty Five

No longer a Granger…

The panic in her eyes was so visible, he hadn't even turned to face her yet but I saw her shudder in his grasp. I can not believe that this was the guy I was marrying. His voice sounded so demonic. It almost made me feel bad for her, but I couldn't bring myself to pity her. Then I felt him tighten his hold on my hand.

"Do not speak so highly towards me you blood traitor. If anything it is I that will be the one to do as I please." Somehow she had managed to get her fear intact and straighten her exterior enough to be herself.

"You can do anything you please as long as you stay away from my fiancée." He still didn't give her a glance.

"You're threats are empty so I suggest you let go of my hand right now." But Fred ignored her and pulled her closer to him.

"You may think that I'm a blood traitor but I know you rather have my mouth all over your body rather then any other pureblood here." He whispered those words to her, I gasps covering my mouth as I seen the people take notice of their conversation. Fred's face was only a few inches away from hers. It looked like he was going to kiss her. Though the people were curious I doubt that they heard what had been said seeing that Fred's tone was low. I wonder why I found myself blushing at those words. Why would he say something like that?

"Fred…" I tried. Her eyes widen in shock as those words hit her, her mouth open as to reply but then closed as he had struck her. The fear in her eyes had returned and she pulled to free her hand. Smirking Fred let her go and she took off running towards the distant hallways. Was she blushing from Fred's words? That was unlike Pansy.

"But I only want my mouth to be all over your body." He whispered playfully into my ear. I felt my face boiling over from that comment and I swatted his arm as he looked at me with an evil grin, raising his eyebrows.

"Why did Pansy leave like that?" I heard Ginny's voice as I pulled my eyes away from Fred's. He was back again. "Not that we shouldn't be celebrating, I mean what could you have possible said to her Fred that would make her bolt like that? She's not an easy person to intimidate." Ginny said to us.

"You don't want to know baby sister." Fred spoke placing his hand on her shoulder.

"Try me." She challenged.

"Ginny you don't want…" I tried to warn her.

"I told her I'm willing to shag her if she comes off her high horse." Fred laughed as I watched Ginny's face go from a small smile to a disturbed frown. I shook my head as her face was shrewd into disgust.

"Why would anyone want to do that? You're so gross." She snarled at him making a perfect imitation of Mrs. Weasley, and then she turned to me. "Why did you let him get away with saying something like that to that horrible hag?"

"Actually Ginny he didn't…"

"Hello." We were interrupted by a tiny Asian girl. She looked very familiar.

"Cho Chang." Me and Ginny said surprisingly at the same time.

"Hi." She continued smiling at us.

"I was wondering if you seen my husband." She was still very beautiful from the last time I seen her. Her hair was longer and she seemed to have gained a little more weight then I remembered. Then I looked over again and realized that she was pregnant.

"We don't know who your husband is Cho." I answered. Ginny was standing by Fred now and watching her. Fred give her a quick glance and turned his attention else where. He wasn't usually rude but just recently I noticed if it wasn't me or someone he liked he rarely gave them a second thought.

"Why, Neville Longbottom." She searched around the hall.

"You're married to Neville?" Me and Ginny were shocked. She laughed nodding.

"It's a long story but we've been married awhile now."

"How far along are you?" I asked touching her stomach lightly but Fred pulled my hand away. I looked up at him but he was scanning around the room still.

"Four months now." She smiled rubbing her bump ignoring Fred's reaction.

"Ginny, we can go now I just…" Harry stopped recognizing the girl that was talking to us.

"Harry, Hello." She waved smiling sweetly at him.

"How have you been Cho?" He walked towards Ginny who laced her hand through his.

"I'm looking for my husband." She replied.

"I found him Cho, he's with Dean." We turned to see Parvati's twin waving to her from a distant.

"It was very good to see you all." Cho smiled and walked towards Padma.

"That was interesting." Ginny grinned looking up at Harry.

"Quite so and Fred an owl came for you." Harry handed the letter he received to the redhead.

"Ginny Weasley I was wondering when you would come and congratulate me." We turned to see Luna dragging an annoyed Malfoy behind her.

"I'm sorry Luna; I was planning to before we left." Ginny apologized as I watched Harry and Malfoy exchange glares. Fred was soaking in the information on that piece of paper.

"And Hermione I apologize for not being able to attend your ceremony tomorrow. We're leaving for our honeymoon tonight." I shook my head.

"I understand. Congratulates to you both." She embraced me. "He's very ravishing up close." She whispered so only I could hear. I snorted at that.

"We better go." Fred announced taking hold of my hand once again.

"Okay…Ginny come early tomorrow…"And with that I was pulled out of the hall. Harry and Ginny both waving. Luna was raking her hands through a pouty Draco's hair. Then we were out of the church and back in the flat.

"What did the letter say?" I asked as he threw of his coat. The only answer I got was his lip on mine and him trying to undress me. His fingers unzipping the back of my dress. I panicked and pushed him away. This was more like the Fred we knew.

"Hermione, I need to be with you." He sounded desperate.

"Fred, I know…I'm just really scared…" I found myself backing away from him trying to make my escape. He was unbuttoning his collar shirt which revealed his amazing tone chest.

"You don't know what this mark is doing to my body… you don't." He stood there watching me move farther away from him. Then he shook his head as if trying to clear it. "Hermione sign the contract." That's right the contract. That needed to be signed. "It has to be done before we wed tomorrow so, at least do that." I watched him for awhile. I guess his battle between himself must have been growing weaker.

"You know I want you…you can't deny that. It's becoming very painfully to fight this losing battle and I want you to know…I will wait how ever long you want me to but there's only so long before the restrain snaps." Those words moved me, no matter how much I wanted to be ready; I couldn't force myself to be ready. Fred's body was much more demanding than mine. I didn't think I could keep up. And I wasn't the type to fold under pressure but I wasn't sure how I would be able to handle all this lust that he had. All that passion and hunger, I wanted to caress his tired expression from his face.

"Fred…thank you." That was all I could say. He walked into the bathroom and I heard the showers running. I sat down to read over the contract. It was basically what I already knew. There were no affairs, no leaving, and no cursing the other person, and so on. The one I noticed was that we had only one week after the marriage to consummate our union or else a spell would be done forcing us to come unwillingly together. I was getting exhausted and didn't want to read anymore so I signed it right where Fred had already done so. I wobbled into my bedroom and without even changing went to sleep.

"Hermione, wake up you don't want to be late for your own wedding." I heard Ginny's voice creeping into my head. I groaned and wanted to go back to sleep. "Fred's going to be upset if you don't get up this instant." She playfully nudged at me. I sat up and Ginny rushed me into the shower. The coldness woke me instantly and I screamed.

"What I love to hear in the morning, that's beautiful.' Ginny laughed. I barley had anytime to catch my breath the moment I stepped out of the shower.

"Hello darling." I turned in my towel to find my mum pulling out a chair for me. Then there was Katie and Alicia as well. When I embraced the most important woman in my life, it was the most comfort I had all week. "Let me look at you." She held me at arms length to examine me. Her smiling face went straight to horror as she saw the mark. "What has the boy done to you?" She shrieked which got all of us very nervous.

"Mum, I was sure that professor Lupin explained it to you." I spoke quietly as I saw her eyes glowing.

"He said something was done so that you were his, I thought he got you a ring. What is that suppose to mean? And Hermione you know how I feel about tattoos. Wait until your father hears about this." She was only just beginning. I slowly sat myself down into the chair she held out. Katie was by my side combing my hair.

"Mrs. Granger, I know that your upset at my brother's claim but this was something that could not be helped." Ginny tried which got her a scolding look from my mum.

"What I know is that yours and his relationship is abnormal, do you care to elaborate?" That was the tone she used if I ever withheld information from her.

"Me and him are soul mates by law already, unlike the muggle rules we have this thing called a blood link that holds our soul intact. That's as much information I read last night anyways." I answered.

"A blood link? Is that like blood exchange? Like a vampire?" Her voice was in panic mote.

"I don't know." I replied but she was unfazed by that and turned to Katie and Alicia.

"It has to do with shedding of ones blood." Katie said without thought and covered her mouth as she realized her mistake.

"Like…" All eyes were on her now.

"Hermione you know why Fred has been trying to have is way with you…don't you? It's that the moment he sheds your blood, there's a spell that allows him to be free from all that sexual tension he carries everyday with him. The sexual tension that loosens the grudge he has with his body." What was she talking about?

"Katie there's no time for this we only have three hours." Alicia's voice warned as we all looked at the time. There was a mad rush with the hair, the make up and all the little things to make everything perfect. The first time I looked at myself in the mirror I was unrecognizable even to myself. There was this fair skin woman in curls, her exotic ivory dresses hugging the curves of her body. The eyes that didn't match mine, they looked as if they were seducing the air itself, they were big and looked like warm chocolate. Then I felt something cold pressed against my skin.

"Something old, something new…" My mum was smiling now. "You look so wonderful." There were tears trailing down her cheeks. She placed a gold chain around my bare neck and embraced me. I felt the tears form in my eyes but I couldn't cry not yet and ruin all that Katie did.

"Thanks mum." I squeezed her hand. "I know that you and dad wanted to buy the dress, I'm sorry I'm marrying someone so stubborn."

"No, it's all right, you know why? He sent us a letter explaining this is what he wanted for you…it was so sincere that there was no way we could refuse." She smiled. "We really like him." He was so confusing, first he was angry, than annoyed then the greatest person in the world. What was going on? When she released me I turned and was about to say something.

"Hermione…" Ginny could barely speak as she grinned at me.

"I will kill him if he doesn't see how perfect you are." Katie bunched her fingers in a fist. Alicia only nodded and then before I knew it my maid of honor and bridesmaid, was dressed in a light beige halter top dress with a little small flower prints at the bottom and carrying a single yellow lily awaiting the music at the church. My dad was at my side now. There was no pain or anything like that as I linked arms with my dad. It was because he wasn't just any male he was related to me and that was why the spell didn't work, for that I was thankful, the thought of not having my father walk me down the aisle was too much.

"Hello pumpkin." He kissed my cheek.

"Hi daddy." I smiled returning his gesture.

"Is it too late to talk you out of this marriage?" He teased.

"Maybe…" I smiled looking down on the one single daffodils in my hand.

"He doesn't deserve you." My dad laughed.

"No man does." I winked. Then the music was played and we strolled into towards were my groom was standing and where millions of eyes were watching me. I heard many intakes of breaths as I passed by but the music was the only thing that was going through my mind. Then as I focused my eyes from behind my veil I saw him. He stood there just as I had seen Malfoy yesterday. He couldn't take his eyes off of me, he was in all black as well and looked as ravishing as Luna had quoted, his hair fallen just above his broad shoulders and those blue eyes so mesmerizing, I was the one who couldn't take my eyes off of him.

Right beside him smiling warmly was my future brother- in- law George, there was also Lee Jordan and Oliver, I was bit confused as to why both of them were here but this was not a time to dwell on things like that. The pastor had started speak as I reached his side and there was no time to take in the beautiful decorated church walls. Neither I nor Fred had written vows to each other because we knew this marriage wasn't really based on love, it was based on the public display of affection. When our hands came together I felt that knot in my stomach, this was the effect he always caused and it was always so familiar. He smiled at our joined hands.

"Do you Fred Weasley take Hermione Granger as your lawfully wedded wife?" And Fred answered.

"I do." His voice was low and it didn't sound like him at all.

"And do you Hermione Granger take Fred Weasley to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do." There was a small hesitation in my answer which I hoped he didn't notice and then the final words that sealed our fate forever.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife." He then removed my veil. "You may now kiss the bride." At that he kissed me with everything he had, it was a yearning that I didn't think was possible, the crowd cheered. This was just like yesterday. I found my arms circling around his neck and the kissed deepen. When we final released each other from our kiss the crowd clapped and we took down the aisle heading to our reception.

"You're all mine now." He whispered into my ear making me blush, which I tried so hard to control, but it was near impossible. It was being held in the Weasley's back yard which was perfect surrounded by family and friends. It was beautifully decorated with things hanging in the air and the sun was high in the sky now. Tables set for the many quests and the food was on one long table. Like a buffet.

"Hermione I couldn't believe that was you walking through those doors, you looked like a goddess." Bill tried to embrace me but I took his hand lightly then watched it fall to his side as I released it. What did I look like before I wonder? Did he think I was a troll? I didn't know if that was a compliment or just conversation. "I really am starting to wonder if everyone here in the family was cheated that Fred was the one who ended up with you." He laughed then as Ron punched him on the shoulder.

"Don't let Fred hear you say that, he might curse you." Ron warned. He was dressed in a black dress robe and a red bow tie with his red hair unmanaged. Just like Ron.

"Ahhh… little brother it's only a joke, Fred out of people should be able to laugh it off. I mean isn't he one of the world's greatest pranksters?" Bill said laughing.

"He's been a bit off lately if you haven't noticed you big jerk." Ron remarked glaring at an amused Bill.

"Bill I weesh to dance." We heard Fleurs voice call to him.

"Yes love." He answered and went to her.

"You look so beautiful Hermione." Ron smiled. "I can't believe that my best friend is actually married to my brother, this is so surreal."

"I know…" I tried but was pulled into strong arms. I looked up into green eyes. "HAR…"

"I know, I know but this is the one day where I want to embrace you and not care about the consequences…so please…" And I let him. Ron shrugged and joined Harry, and then Ginny was in our little circle as well.

"So Hermione how does it feel to be a Weasley?" They asked laughing. At that moment it hit home. I was no longer a Granger, but I was now a member of the Weasley family. I drew them closer without a care.
