Title: Hermione's Helping Hand

Happy Valentines Day

Valentines day, a day that neither Severus and Hermione ever wanted to celebrate, came to Hogwarts and soon the school was filled with sweethearts exchanging presents of candy and flowers. Hermione had gone to Hogsmead to get her husband candy and flowers and was surprised, when she gave them, that he had some for her.

" Thanks!" Hermione muttered, going very pink. " I-I love it!"

" Thanks!" said Severus, going pink as well.

" Hay why don't you two just say you love each other," said Ginny, who was now laughing her head off. " The world isn't going to end you know."

And she was gone before Severus could tell her off.

" She's quick, must of learned that from-"

" I love you!" Hermione cut in, saying it before she lost her nerve.

Severus blinked, then stared.

" Y-You mean it?" he asked her.

Hermione nodded, the pink going all the way her neck.

" I-I-"

He trailed off.

" I love you," whispered Remus from the corner.

Severus turned and glared at him.

" Sorry, just trying to help."

" Are you trying to tell me that you love me, just nod your head?"

Severus turned and nodded, Hermione smiled

" I'm not use to telling people how I feel," Severus said. " So it's going to be a little hard."

" Don't worry, I'll give you all the time in the world."

They wrapped their arms around each other, the world at peace. Of course, Ron, who groaned out loud, broke that peace.

" Oh this is stupid!" he told them. " Everyone else has love, but me."

Everyone laughed at his very red face.

" So how did you like Valentines day?" Tonks asked Hermione the next morning.

" It was wonderful!" Hermione said, grinning. " I got him some of that enchanted chocolate that Ron accidentally ingested. Quiet an interesting night!"

Tonks roared with laughter, which made Hermione giggle.

" So you like being married?"

Hermione nodded.

" As long as your with someone that you love and want to be with, then I think your marriage will last a long time."

" Thanks!"

Several days later Hermione and Tonks visited Madam Pomfrey, who checked them over. She was very pleased with how the pregnancies were going. Both women were pleased as well, and when the Matron told them to come back next week, they nodded, and left. As soon as they were gone, Remus and Severus entered.

" Well?"

" No problems," Madam Pomfrey reported. " Next month will be quiet something!"

" Can we be there?"

Madam Pomfrey nodded.
