(Verse 1 Line 4)

more heaven than a heart could hold...

Hogsmeade weekend just happened to fall on Valentines Day. Harry had a surprise for me and I couldn't wait any longer. I paced the library floor as I waited for him. I hated surprises, and I loved them at the same time. I hated that they left me without a plan, but I loved them when they were good surprises, like a birthday party or a gift.

"There you are!" Harry said head coming towards me, "Are you ready?"

"I don't know," I answered, "I can't bloody well Plan for a surprise."

"All right then lets go to it then," Harry said as he took my hand.

"Where are we going?" I asked, Harry looked at my direction raising a brow, "Oh all right," I said in resignation.

Harry smiled then wrapped his arm around me. "Come now, I can't go spoil it for you," He said as we walked to the gates. When we arrived at Hogsmeade, we went to the three broomsticks and into the very same room he had proposed to me in. It was so enchanting to smell its soft chocolate mist and feel it's red satin sheets again. "You remember this?" He asked.

"Yes I do," I answered. "Was this my surprise?"

"Part of it," Harry said and kissed me softly, "I've got to go and get the rest of it ready. Stay here."

"What should I do?" I asked as he headed for the door.

"You'll see." He said and headed out of the room.

Minutes later, Hedwig flew to the window. I raced to open it for her; the package she was carrying seemed so heavy. She landed neatly on the table and I relieved her of her burden. She flew off before I could give her a vole, so I turned my attention back at the package that was addressed to me. there was a card attached.

I read:

Put this on and wait, someone will be by in a while to get you.

I love you,

H.

I smiled and opened the package. I gasped as I saw the most beautiful gown I had ever seen. It was white and flowing splattered with tiny red hearts cascading from the waist down the skirt. I don't know how Harry could have guessed I would like this, but I did. I wanted to put it on, I wanted to marry him, but it didn't seem right if we didn't have any one else to witness our union. I did not want to just elope with him. I wanted my father there to give me away. I magicked the gown onto a mannequin and stared at it.

"Harry what were you thinking?" I whispered, as there was another knock on the door. "He can't possibly think I'm ready for this." I said as I opened the door.

"You're not ready for what?" The person behind the door said as I stared at her shocked to see her in Hogsmeade.

"Mum!" I said a smile forming my lips. I threw my arms around her and held her, "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Harry told your father and I what he wanted to do, and we helped him." she said as she looked around the room, "Mmm is that chocolate?"

"It's a mist in the room that makes it smell that way, When he... proposed, he had Rose Petals rain down on us here." I said realizing that I may have revealed some intimate truth that I wasn't ready for her to know.

"So, are you ready?" She said as she caught a glimpse of the dress. "That is beautiful," she said then she looked at my hand with the ring, and smiled. "He loves you so much Hermione. He would be disappointed if you didn't want to do this today, but he would understand."

"Help me into the gown?" I asked making my decision. There wasn't any reason not to do this now, I had everything I wanted.

"Absolutely," Mum said heading towards the mannequin, "It is fantastic isn't it?"

"Exquisite." I said as I put the petticoats on for a full effect.

"He has got Excellent Tastes," Mum said as she came back to me to help me with my hair. The moment was surreal. Was I really doing this? My mother placed the veil atop my head and I began to cry. "You look amazing," mum said heading for the dress.

I stood in front of the manequin. Mum heped me adjust the bodice and when we were done, and I was all dressed mum produced a paper dove. "He told me that you would send it to him once we were finished."

I smiled and took the dove from her hand. And with my wand I sent a whispered charm through it sending it flying through the window to Harry. "I absolutely love that man Mum." I said turning back to her.

"You both deserve love." Mum said, as there was another knock on the door.

My heartbeat faster, I was about to get married to Harry Potter. I felt a pang of foreboding as I remembered who he was, and what he was destined to do. I looked nervously at the door, It was my father, and I smiled widely and leapt into his arms "Dad!" I said hugging him tightly.

"Hello, 'Mione." He said returning the hug, "You look beautiful luv." He kissed the top of my head and I couldn't stop the tears from falling from my eyes. "There now, are you ready for your groom?"

I only nodded and stepped back. He hooked his arm through mine and walked me down to the pub. As we entered the main room I could not believe my eyes. There were fairies twinkling around the room, like fireflies in a summer's eve. The Weasleys, all of them save for Percy were there. So were Remus and Sirius and Tonks. There standing beside Harry were Dumbledore, who would officiate the wedding, and Ron of course. Ginny stood there as well waiting for me as Dad and I walked towards them.

All I could do was smile. My cheeks hurt, I was smiling so hard. Everything was a blur from tears as I reached front and my father placed my hand in Harry's. "I'm so glad you came, I love you."

I couldn't speak, so I leaned forward and kissed his lips lightly. "I have not gotten to that part yet Miss Granger." Dumbledore said, I laughed and turned to face him. He officiated the wedding. It was beautiful. This was heaven for me.

After all was said and done, and the celebration was over, Harry and I went back to the suite. "That was quite the surprise," I said wrapping my arms around my husband.

He kissed my forehead, "I was so nervous that you'd reject this idea," Harry said, "When I saw you come down those steps I was elated and nervous at the same time."

"I almost didn't come," I said, "I remembered that I probably wouldn't be able to enjoy you forever, so I came and now I'm glad."

"No more sneaking around, We can be together without feeling weird about it." Harry said and smiled

"I love you Harry," I said turning my back so that he could help me out of my gown. He began to unbutton the gown and kissed down my back as he did. This had been the best day of my life and would always be. It was like heaven right here on earth.

He lay me down gently on the bed. The silky sheets felt cold against my skin, which was a contrast to the warmth of my husband's hands.

He took his time exploring my body. First with his hands, then with his mouth. I watched as he touched me, his eyes drinking the sight of me in as if he wanted it to be the last thing he saw. He rested his hand on my abdomen, then kissed it. He lay his head there, he was in no hurry.

I ran my fingers through his hair, then removed his glasses. This was the moment I decided not to shield my womb any longer. I didn't care weather or not I became pregnant anymore.

He looked up at me and continued his exploration of my body. He nipped and nibbled at every inch of me. By the time he got to my center, I was more than ready for him. "Harry, Please," I whispered pulling him to me.

He kissed me and I felt his need. I moved against him, taking him inside me. I sighed in pleasure as we joined as one. I felt so different, as if magic had kept me from feeling him completely. I could hear him thinking, please Merlin, don't take this from me.' I was so overwhelmed by the strength of his love and the immense weight he carried on his shoulders that I couldn't breathe.

'Let me help you with that burden Harry, I'm here for you , just let go.' I thought, then felt him stiffen, his release filling me with a combination of Joy and pain. Both of us reaching a climax that transcended the physical realm.

"I can hear you, I've never heard you before," Harry said laying next to me.

"Harry," I said seriously, "You won't loose me ever, you know that right?"

His eyes darkened but he held me tightly, "We know what I must do, and it's just a matter of time..."

"That's just it Harry. You're not alone in this." I said sitting up and turning to face him, "I want to help you carry your burden."

"You help me more than you know." Harry said reaching for me again. I sunk into his arms and listened, "But at the end of it all, Being part of my life is a dangerous thing."

"Just let me love you," I said softly sleep pulling at me, "Just love me."
